    The AU roller coaster

    AU Basketball … man what happened? Bonus: Biggest Auburn “what-ifs”

    Alex and Michael discuss Auburn’s basketball woes and what is going on. Disclaimer - this was even before the crushing Arkansas beat-down. They then discuss what it would take to come back to sustained excellence and, as a bonus, some of Auburn's biggest "what-if" moments and how a few turning points could have transformed the Tigers into a perennial powerhouse. If you're a die-hard Auburn fan, a college football junkie, or simply love unraveling the butterfly effects that shape sports history, this episode is your new obsession. In this compelling conversation, we dive into pivotal moments like the infamous Grave Digger play, the missed opportunities in the 1980s, and the crucial games that could have changed Auburn's entire trajectory—what if they'd held onto that 2013 Iron Bowl victory or beaten Clemson in 2010? We explore how each "what-if" could have rerouted Auburn's legacy and what it reveals about the ruthless art of college sports. You'll discover: The behind-the-scenes drama of Auburn's coaching decisions and how they might have altered the program's destinyHow seemingly small plays, like a missed field goal or a controversial call, had outsized impacts on national rankingsThe significance of recruiting, strategy, and culture in shaping Auburn's competitive edge over the decadesSurprising insights into how other programs like Miami, Georgia, and Clemson could have changed Auburn’s place in college football loreThe broader implications for Auburn fans—and all sports enthusiasts—who crave winning on a national scale and want to understand the power of small moments that define history

    I can't believe this is where we are. Pre-AU vs. Mizzou pod

    It's been a depressing 3 weeks on the Plains. I was going to say it has been better than being a UCLA fan, but even they are having more fun than Auburn now. Where do we go and is there any hope for us and Mizzou?
