Oh I wasn't talking to you directly. I would have used quote if I wanted to do that. Just making an honest observation that you're a retarded doog, but I appreciate the reply anyways. Here's too many more! :x ))

@oregonblitzkrieg 2019 looks interesting for Auburn. Most expect a legacy QB (who is still in high school football right now) to take over and start day 1. I am not one of those people. Gus has a hard time trusting freshmen. He likes playing players he trusts over players he SHOULD take last seasons second UGA game, or the embarrassment of getting manhandled by UCF. Kerryon Johnson who Auburns offense revolved around was injured vs Bama when Auburn beat the #1 team in 2 out of 3 weeks. Once KJ was injured, Gus should of gone to the next man up in the RB rotation, and he simply didn't. As far as the DL goes, I wouldn't expect much of a drop off. Auburn has recruited incredibly well in that position. There is talent for days on the DL and they aren't just juniors and seniors. So while I expect a huge drop off from the QB spot, I wouldn't be expecting a huge drop from the DL.

1. I got tired of being in the south so I thought what is the furthest from my home that I could get that would be as different as possible. And Eugene Oregon with all their hippies are as different from the small town in the south as I could possibly find. Rivalry hatred aside, Eugene isn't that bad.
2. The UW DL is a real advantage on the Auburn OL. In years past, this simply wouldn't of been the case. But Auburn went through some BS along the coaching side of the line. The OL coach JB Grimes was the OL coach. He was pushed out for Malzahns buddy Herb Hand. Hand was supposed to be a far superior recruiter than Grimes, with only a slight drop on the coaching side. That's couldn't of been further from the truth. Hand not only didn't really bring the talent in, he was a HORRIBLE coach. Auburn like Penn State gave up record numbers in the sacks allowed category under Herb Hand. Texas thought they stole Hand from Auburn, in reality 99.999% of Auburn people were thrilled to see him leave. Most fans expected a big name OL hire when Hand went to Texas. Unfortunately, Gus rehired the coach he forced out for Hand. So back to Grimes. What side is stronger? Neither. Prince Tega the LT started there a few games last season before being sat in favor of a better player. LG is a new starter, C is a new starter, RG has a few starts under his belt, and RT is a new starter. Auburn replaces 4 of the 5 starters from last season. There really isn't a stronger side. Is there quality depth? LoL, no. There may be quality that isn't known about. I mean Auburn MAY have an All American that has no experience... But that's it. How confident am I? In our OL? On a scale of 1 to 10, my confidence in the OL is about a 2 or 3. Auburns OL will be the difference in a playoff run and fighting to finish .500.
3. Stidham was running for his life most of last season, and still put up the 2nd best passing season in Auburns history. But if you want to see how he handles pressure differently, watch last year's Clemson game, then watch the UGA (game 1) or the Bama game. He matured greatly during the season. However, to answer your question, I would have to see the starting lineup for the OL. There is a chance the RG will slide over to center and one of the RTs will slide inside to RG. If that happens, I think Stidham will fare better than leaving the center exposed as it will be if you see Kaleb Kim as the starting center. If Horton slides over, Stidham will have a better game.
4. I used to be a SEC SEC guy. But then I lived outside the SEC for over 2 decades. I personally don't ascribe to that nonsense anymore. And UGA and Bama doing what they are doing doesn't help Auburn in the least. A. They get 90% of the recruits they want. Auburn is left with a lot of their top targets being taken. And B Auburn plays both Bama and UGA every single year. On the road in the same year and at home at the same year. Plus it's in the last month of the season. So say Auburn is undefeated going into UGA this year, they will play UGA, no body team, Bama and if they win them, UGA again. So if Auburn wins their division of the SEC, they play UGA a second time in less than a month. So UGA and Bama balling out like they are doesn't help Auburn in the least. It hurts them.

@HorrifyinglyAlluring I personally want to play 9 conference games, as does the Auburn coach. So you are preaching to the choir on that one. Also Auburn doesn't play a cupcake before our rivalry games. This season it's Texas A&M before UGA. Then a cupcake before Bama. In the last few seasons it hasn't had any effect on team health or who wins the next game. As far as true road games, Auburn simply doesn't travel to the left coast. In the 20 years I lived in Eugene, there was nothing more I would of loved to see than my Auburn Tigers putting the smack down on the Ducks in Autzen. But no. The former AD was a good ole boy who never has left Alabama, the new AD is a young man from Notre Dame. So Auburn very well may start doing true road games.

@Pitchfork51 you will find a great majority of Auburn people without question ABSOLUTELY want Lindsey being in charge of the offense. Auburn people want Gus to be the head coach and have NOTHING TO DO with the offense.

@AuburnFan Auburn absolutely does not have the best front 7 in college football. Most likely not even the SEC. But keep viewing everything through them orange and blue shaders there bro...

OK guys, I'll check back in a bit for anything else
