So, I was texting....okay, sexting, with GF and GH about the articles out, showing that Vegas is placing odds on whether Ashford or Thorne will be the starting QB. I axed why, and they said because people will bet on any freakin' thing.
Sorry, but that's about the lamest thing you could not only put odds on, but even bet on. Based on what? Nobody is practicing. There are no reports coming out of any camps, that by the way, aren't happening. How would anybody have any insight as to who the starting QB will be? I gay-ron-tee U-Free doesn't know.
It goes further. Even on our local sports talk show, and on Finebaum, I've heard numerous callers proclaim that it looks like Ty Simpson, or Milroe, or the ND transfer (Or whoever they've heard) has taken over as the starter at Alabama. Really? Glad you're that connected to the program.
Speaking of QB's, obviously it's going to be essential for either Ashford or Thorne to step up and play more gooder if Auburn is going to have success. Anything close to last year will be an unmitigated disaster. BTW, I've heard that Thorne has the inside track. I put a hundo on it. But, that holds true for our two biggest rivals as well.
I believe Saybinz hired Tommy Rees from Notre Dame, because his offense is more run oriented. I think Little Nicky is well aware that they are going to take a YUUUGE step back at the QB position. Say what you will, but I think Brass Yung is by far the most talented QB ever to play at the Crapstoned. If one of those guys doesn't get the job done, they'll be out of playoff contention early and often.
FUGA will have someone under center with less experience than Hunter Biden in the energy production field. That may be less of a problem for them, because they have been winning by murdering people on defense. Stetson Bennett was perfect for them, because he just had to distribute the ball and not take chances. Fun fact about Bennett. He was a walk on. Told he couldn't do it. Did y'all know that?
On the cruitin' trail, I believe if this JJ Redick fella' commits to us today, there's going to be a lot of top shelf cruits' that follow suit. Here's to Big Cat Weekend, and not Mud Kat Bryant.
