HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two) Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation) if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!
I'm hearing speculation Freeze had some medical issues Auburn was trying to keep private.
If you have some physical / medical impairment, why are you on the golf course so much?
I think Freeze simply lost his fire.

That’s funny - they told that same story when Dye ran into trouble. “It’s possible he didn’t know what all was going on with payments to Eric Ramsey”……
Well he did lose his pants and “had no idea how or when he lost them”. My guess is that his cousin, Jack Daniels, had something to do with it.
Pat Dye gets lost '80s pants back

In the interest of fairness, Dye WAS diagnosed with hemochromatosis, but the "he's sick" is always kinda suspicious to me, a deflection designed to distract and avoid scrutiny.
True but to believe Dye had no idea what his assistants and Corky Frost were up to is straight up a fairy tale.

He has/had prostate cancer. I thought it was in remission, but could have come back. If that is the case, the barn is even more scummy than I thought. Firing a sick person is low even for them.
Are you kidding, there are residents of Lee County who get married just to get some free rice.
I have felt like the Iron Bowl lost its luster on the whole sometime back. I just couldn't put my finger on it. But I think you nailed it. 2017 really does seem like the turning point. When the SEC expanded this most recent time with the addition of Oklahoma and Texas, the narrative was that no annual rivalry was safe from the chopping block. Years ago, both sides would have protested vehemently at the very thought of the Iron Bowl getting the axe. But if that did actually happen, I don't think there would be as much angst as there would have been years ago. Personally, I wouldn't miss it.
Former AU RB Cadillac Williams, circa 2001-2004, went pro in the first round of his draft, not the sharpest tool in the shed. Was recently a coach on their staff before Freeze was hired.Honestly, I have no idea who that guy is...

No, the other guy that was vying for Caddy to get the job. Who is he?Former AU RB Cadillac Williams, circa 2001-2004, went pro in the first round of his draft, not the sharpest tool in the shed. Was recently a coach on their staff before Freeze was hired.

Oh my bad, haha. No idea, just some journalist who lives in Bham and writes for AL.com as far as I know.No, the other guy that was vying for Caddy to get the job. Who is he?
Well he was the high king of barn delusion when he compared alabama fans to hitler and the nazis. He was a piece of ...................................work i will say on this forum.
The irony of that idiot’s column was Williams was on Freeze’s staff but stepped down with Zac Etheridge in January of 2024 following what was reported to be “university investigation” around Auburn’s participation in the Music City Bowl. While the results of the investigation were never reported, Williams and Etheridge made quick exits from the staff. I was told it related to what they were doing the night before and in the early morning hours of the bowl game and some “Title IX issues”.
And ‘Lac Williams is the Auburn man this guy wants to run the program?

He also has some kind of problem with his back. He really hasn’t looked like he’s been in good health for a couple of years. I don’t like him, but chronic back pain and cancer is a bad combination for any job, much less something as stressful as coaching at a D1 school.
This needs to be imprinted at the entrance to Toomer's Corner. Because that's REALLY all it was ever about.
They actually did win (here come the brick bats) a national title before we did.* But when Coach Bryant won three in five years, all of a sudden national championships were nothing but popularity contests (this is rich coming from the group that ran a telephone ballot stuffing operation in 1957 to get that title and resulted in changes to how the AP poll works).
Then they went with "the only difference is us and Alabama is Bay-uh Bryant and he pays players!" They said this while compiling a record of probation second only to SMU at the time - but they had a ready excuse for that, too, Bryant was protection from the NCAA (which is funny when you remember aTm was put on probation for actions Bryant took there).
Then they beat us something like six times in eight years and said, "See, we told you so," and when the Eric Ramsey scandal broke, they said (they really did) that Ramsey was basically an Alabama plant sent to make up charges against them who spliced tapes together for conversations that never happened.
Then they played the "we gonna have the Iron Bowl on campus and show them Bama snobs" card - which hid the motive of money. To this day, every one of them is focused more on the LOCATION of the 1989 game than the final result.
Then when we were on our fourth coach in less than a decade, they made fun of us for running off coaches, not one of whom we fired or paid a buyout.
Then they finally reached the mountaintop in 2010 surrounded by scandal, dug in their heels (because all of a sudden national championships DID exist), and now look back and see the size of their program with that little blip surrounded by three Alabama national titles and nobody else.
They were happier about winning the Kick Six game with us than they were about winning the SEC or almost the national title.
After years of making fun of us for retroactive titles - they suddenly decided they won a bunch of titles in years they had cried about getting screwed out of national titles. Go figure.
Now Auburn is a bigger laughingstock than Alabama was between the 2000 UCLA game and the 2006 Auburn game.
It's the one thing they've done better than Alabama in football.
* - I'm not arguing with the "but what about" folks in regards to how history unfolded. AT THE TIME, Auburn's national title was reported as first by all sources nearly 30 years before Wayne Atcheson decided to embarrass us with claiming a national championship in 1941.
Reminder as I've said it here before:
Auburn really thought winning that 2010 national championship was going to change everything.
Then they woke up the morning of January 11, 2011 and even though they were #1 in the nation, they were STILL the #2 program in the state (and at that time facing the prospect of having it stripped).

They are a cult. The Auburn Creed is proof. It boasts of "character" and "class." 'Nuff said.

What do John Wayne, Shug Jordan, Gary Cooper in High Noon, Pat Dye, and Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life have in common? Ben Bartley meets David Housel for breakfast at Chappy's Deli to come up with a working definition of an Auburn Man.
