Freeze fired at the Barn

[Cruloc]

Walked into a gas station this morning to get a little breakfast snack and coffee.....DeBoer's cutout was still there.

I just don't know where the Freeze cutout might be. They were both always there to greet everyone coming through the door.

It’s still close, even though it doesn’t look like it

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

ALEXANDER CITY -- Shannon McDuffie made a surprising find on Lake Martin's drought-expanded shoreline: Pat Dye's long-lost, mud-caked pants and alligator leather wallet. From two decades ago. Eventually, McDuffie managed to track down the former Auburn football coach and College...

I really wish I would have told Pat Dye what I thought of him when I came across him wearing a Yellawood polo shirt off of Hwy 82 near Booth on the way back to UA (after visiting my disaster of a girlfriend back in Montgomery). I knew he'd fallen far from his head coaching job, but I had no idea how far he'd fallen until I saw he was just a traveling salesman.

What's funny is this: a lot of folks think "well, with NIL, Alabama lost their advantage because they were the only ones paying players" along with the twin insanity that says, "Players would go to Saban for a discount because NFL." Look, I'm not an idiot - I have no doubt that every major program among the top 50 has done some things that technically are against the NCAA's rules (especially their stupid rules), and I'm sure it's gotten worse since the NCAA has the bite of an old man with no teeth.

But NIL, the portal, and the lack of continuity I honestly think will keep Auburn to the point they better accept ten straight 8-4 seasons with 3 Iron Bowl wins and like it.

What coach is going to come there with their lack of continuity, especially without a huge buyout?

What player is going to go to Auburn when he can be paid much more elsewhere and it's not like Opelika is exactly DFW or for that matter Nashville.

And Alabama automatically enjoys the advantage of extreme recent success.


My own opinion is that if they don't find a way to batten down the hatches of the portal and NIL to something reasonable, we're going to be reduced to 16-24 college football teams in FBS total. You know, part of how they broke up the 1970s dynasties (Alabama, Oklahoma, USC, Notre Dame) was to limit scholarships and spread out the talent. NIL has the opposite effect, so you'd think at some point there will have to be some reasonable salary cap limitations.

Salary cap for some teams would be about as effective as it is in MLB. Certain teams would find a way around it. Deferred payments.

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).

The analogy I often use. An Auburn guy and a Bama guy are standing next to each other at the urinal in the men’s restroom. It’s Bama guy that keeps saying “Hey buddy…keep your eyes straight forward. Stop peeking this way…”

I grabbed a biscuit this morning and wondered the same thing. After walking around the restaurant for a minute I was able to locate Freeze in the back making hashbrowns. Sidenote, he does one heck of a job because those hashbrowns were hot and salted just right!

I heard McDonald’s was trying to hire him away from Jack’s. McDonald’s management figured with a last name like “Freeze”‘it was almost dead certain he could keep that darn ice cream machine working….

Cohen mentioned that he expected other “staff changes”’. Anything on who takes over the dumpster call “offensive” for them?
