Justin and Dan open the show by talking about the NFL Draft — including a live reaction to that one Atlanta Falcons pick — and then discuss Auburn’s signing of Penn State WR1 KeAndre Lambert-Smith.
They talk about what the Tigers might do for the rest of the spring transfer portal window in football after a new exit, then take a look at a couple of very … -
Episode 376: Portal Recall
A whole lot happened in the portal for Auburn over the last several days, and Justin, Painter and Dan are here to talk about it.
The guys open with a look at the trio of Tigers signed to the football team on Monday: Philip Blidi, Isaiah Raikes and Keyron Crawford. They talk about what exactly they bring to the table, why they address such important needs for the roster and how much they could affect Auburn’s fortunes in 2024.
Then it’s a switch over to basketball, where they discuss Aden Holloway’s surprising decision (and ensuing comments) to transfer to Alabama and the fits for Tre Donaldson and K.D. Johnson at their new homes.

Episode 375: Here's Johni
Justin, Dan, Pablo and Painter join forces to discuss the massive news of the week for Auburn basketball: Johni Broome’s return for a final season on the Plains.
The guys talk about how rare it is for a player of Broome’s caliber to come back to school, how Auburn had to hold off a lot of outside forces in order to make this happen and what this could mean for the rest of the Tigers’ roster as they push for a championship in 2025.
While this is a Broome-centric podcast, other topics of discussion include: MLB jersey aesthetics, SMU boosters, Coachella and Squirtle playing the saxophone.

The guys talk about why Pegues was such an important pickup and how the roster is gearing up for what could be a huge 2024-25 season.
Then it’s a switch to football, where the Tigers’ top needs in the second transfer portal window are discussed. That’s followed by a fun look back at the home-and-home series with Kansas State that wrapped up with a memorable Thursday night game in the Little Apple.

Episode 373: The Jurassic Episode

Episode 372: East Alabama Excellence
Justin, Dan and Painter recap Auburn football’s 2024 A-Day Game. The guys talk about the excellent Jordan-Hare Stadium debuts for several Tigers — especially local standouts Cam Coleman and Towns McGough.
They discuss how Coleman and McGough were both surprise additions to the freshman class in their own unique ways and how that could change the Tigers moving forward. Justin and Dan run through their other top performers from the spring game and talk about their biggest storylines of the day. Painter shares a dream.
The episode ends with some (now very dated) thoughts on who Arkansas should hire for basketball, as this was recorded hours before the John Calipari news broke. The actor bracket also comes to a thrilling conclusion.

Can we take a brief moment on Sunday’s episode to reminisce on past unsung heroes from Auburn basketball’s history such as Cinmeon Bowers?
Auburn Observer Review (in the style of Leonard’s Losers)
“Now to this season’s premier matchup: The Auburn Observer v. All other Podcasts: Justin Ferguson and the boys are heading into year 4 in the Podcast arena, and they’re looking poised to have a stellar year. They’re heading into week 1 of the 2023 Football season with a power packed lineup. As always, Painter Sharpless is on the One’s and Two’s, and during the show, he’s busier than 5-star recruit trying get out of College Station. Dan Peck and his “golden voice” lends a powerful punch to this already potent lineup, and the Peck Pack out numbers a 3rd quarter student section at Bryant Denny. At the end of the day, you can’t ask for more Auburn content from a Podcast, and these boys ain’t just talking football either. The Observer covers Bruce Pearl and his dribbling Felines just as hard as Lane Kiffen hits the transfer portal in the offseason. Lathem’s Loser: You, if you don’t subscribe to the Auburn Observer!
