Recruiting

Reading a article about the top defensive linemen in the country and I think 8 were from Georgia and 2 in Alabama the only ones that had Auburn on their list were the 2 from Alabama. It's strange not seeing Auburn on the others list especially from Georgia, imo Auburn really needs to have a good season if you're winning I believe the top rated recruits will start putting Auburn on their list as serious contenders.

Biden Admin still setting economic records...

Hardship withdrawals from Retirement Accounts (401k) hit a new record in 2023 (13% of accounts), eclipsing 2022's record (12%).

Yet another economic record set by the administration.

Primary reason was to avoid Foreclosure.

Ever notice how all the trends are in the wrong direction. Just need DM8 or Stumpy here chanting 'all is well, all is well."

Doing what you love

I remember being 14 and carving decorative birds with my grandfather. I got better and better, and then I discovered “poon tang” and alcohol. I also started playing guitar and drums in my teens. I left them all behind. I bought my son a very nice Yamaha guitar last year and he is going wild with his lessons. I’m so happy for him and proud. I just bought a guitar for myself, and a carving kit. It hit me the other day. We get to the age of needing to provide a living, and we sacrifice our creative nature. I’m jumping back into guitar and carving immediately. My grandmother was the head of the arts department at AU and pushed my creativity at a young age. I replaced her basement carpet with tile when I was 20. I started to put the threshold down and it broke. She told me quickly to quit worrying and toss it aside. She told me to start breaking tile and make a mosaic for the threshold. She showed me how to be creative beyond my imagination. I’m not quitting my day job, but life is too short to not be creative. My current venture is about to explode, but I’ve been most depressed with the length of time it has taken. Just a reminder to us all to not abandon what we love for any reason.

Auburn and Kenpom efficiency metrics

Auburn is 1 of 4 teams this year with a Top 15 Off/Def efficiency according to Kenpom (Houston, UConn, Auburn, and Arizona).

There have been 22 teams to do this since 2018 (not counting Covid 2020).

-Sweet 16 or better: 19 out of the 22 teams (86%).

-Elite 8 or better: 15 out of the 22 teams (68%)

-Final Four or better: 7 out of 22 teams (32%).

I think Sweet 16 is the goal for this team and program and anything else is cherry on top. Bruce has only reached one Sweet 16 for AU thus far (Final 4 year), so this a terrific opportunity I think
