Mike's Weather Page

or spaghettimodels.com is a useful resource for the amount of maps and links it contains. That said, the reporting from the guy who runs it trends toward the worst end of alarmism and fear mongering. It is just out-and-out ridiculous at times.

He just put something up about being "in" Hurricane Francine currently then noted that it keeps jogging east and some folks who didn't expect it are going to get hit. Not only does it strike me that the storm can't be too awful or his telecommunications wouldn't exist, but I'm aware that its eastward movement just means it might come ashore in the parish next to the one expected eight hours ago. He makes it sound like Mississippi is in danger.

Mobile is slated to get top winds less than 30 mph, but my wife told me the folks in her office are acting like Armageddon is at hand.

FOOTBALL Hugh Freeze SEC teleconference (9/11)...

Hugh Freeze spoke on the SEC teleconference today. Here's a summary...

** Looking forward to opportunity to redeem ourselves. A lot of positives from young players on defense. Lots of opportunities for plays on offense but didn't make them. New Mexico is a scary team and they put up a bunch of points against the two teams they've played.

** Freeze is asked about freshman wideouts: We had one of the best WR classes in country. Cam Coleman coming in the spring gave him a leg up. They are all gifted and everybody develops at their own pace. The biggest challenge for them besides the mental part of playing college football is how to finish routes and compete against some of the best cornerbacks in the country.

** On QB's this week: There's a very short leash on us playing that way. It's not always the QB. There are plays that he's expected to make that he didn't make in critical moments.

** Excited about where this program is headed. Need to have patience but that doesn't excuse poor play right now. Leaders on team have responded and hopes that continues rest of this week.

** On meeting with QBs this week: Allowed them both to talk me through every single play that we had a protection issue or missed open players. I wanted to see if we were missing anything as coaches or what we need to do differently. Freeze said he learned a lot about both QB's and how they process things. Hugh said he should do that more.

** We averaged 7 yards rushing Saturday but didn't get enough possessions or get in a rhythm. Struggled in pass pro, especially when Miller was injured.

** Asked about potentially putting off a decision for a couple of weeks, which would take away an opportunity for Hank Brown to get more playing time now, Freeze said he goes to bed and wakes up thinking about the QB's. He mentioned that they make decisions based on practice but there comes a time when you have to produce in games.

*****THAT'S ALL*****

Payton Thorne and Auburn

I know it’s fun to point out an “anti-Auburn” bias among many of the college football pundits. But for me, I am somewhat surprised at the overwhelming amount of hypocrisy of promoting certain players this year who were in a similar situation to Thorne.

This post isn’t a Thorne of Heisman post. But I don’t see how college football pundits discount his experience and ability to develop under Rev Hew Freeze.

If Auburn fails to win 8 games in year one with the improved roster it’s a complete failure. This is at worst an 8 win team.

Can't shake the feeling we are CORCH searching in DECEMBER?

Just want to get out in front this early.



Harsin came into the 2022 season with a bit over 50% support of the Bunker. He proceeded to collapse rather spectacularly after the Penn State debacle.




HEW is coming in with a pathetic 60ish% support from the Bunker post CAL loss. I can't shake the feeling that we are an Arkansas home loss away from this thing going belly up.



@crococile22 @stutsman23 @ricedp105 @Docdumpsta @WarDamnEagle @Mikecb22 @grizzlyadams16 @Jeffrey Lee

There have been some kneejerk posts on here since Saturday...

...We're all hugely disappointed in what we saw. Hopefully, it gets better starting this week!

I liken the situation Hew walked into to the one our beloved Bruce inherited. We had 3 tough years after Bruce took the reins. It wasn't until his 4th season that Bruce flipped the script. And, that's in a sport where you can turn it around with only 5-7 guys.

I don't know if Hew will be able to pull off what Bruce has, but we need to have some patience in the interim. Continuing to rabidly "eat our own" will do nothing more than keep us in a dark, ugly vortex. Carry on Bunker!

Who could come in and make Awbrenz fans happy?

We’ve tried a lot of different flavors of corch over the years, Chizdik the defensive wizard and acclaimed author, Gus the Auburn fAUmily autist who never had a bad week of practice & protected his players at the podium, Bryon Haskins the hardass ALPHA WOLF that took no shit from JABA, installed his exciting don Key dick pro-style offense, player development guru, and guy that called you gay if you rode the elevator.

Everybody on the bourde and elsewhere hated thare azzez by the start of year three at the latest. Now we got Brother Hugh surpassing them in every metric we said we cared about other than offensive ineptitude, which if we’re being honest is just continuation of the same exact issues we’ve seen for the past decade. Everybody hates ole Freezy’s azz now too and he’ll probably be Sunbelt Billy 2.0 here pretty soon barring a revelation at QB.

So bunk, who do y'all want to come corch the mighty Auburn Tigers that you think will tick all the boxes? Who can come in and make Awbrenz happy and placate the AU media enough to keep them from firing off snarky tweets? I like ole Dell McGee because he has a cool beard. What say the bourde?
