Florida State isn’t that great:
• pulled away late from 6-6 G5 team
• needed prayer to beat 6-6 rival
• 3-point win vs. 4-8 conference foe
• lost by 10 at home
oh wait shoot this is my Alabama file one second
imagine how Jordan Travis feels right now sitting around with his broken leg, his college career over, and everyone on TV using the saddest moment of his football life against his own team as he sits around them
it’s unfortunate for Florida State that they had to miss the playoffs for not being one of the four best teams in the country AND still play one of the four best teams in the country
tough combo
Marlon Davidson gets pushed into Kyle Trask’s leg by a Florida OL.
Davidson apologizes to the QB after the game. Dan Mullen criticizes Davidson in a halftime national TV interview.
You tell me which is the “dirty” player/coach.
Breaking news: the Atlanta Hawks didn’t fire their GM today, as they’re tied 2-2 in second-round series against the East’s No. 1 seed with MVP and defensive player of the year finalists.
Complete class from Tennessee forward Grant Williams who, in his postgame ESPN interview, showed his love and support for the Lee County tornado victims. Here's what Williams said about doing that following such a big win.
This is what Auburn's bench looked like when Austin Wiley stepped onto the floor for the first time this season. Nobody happier for him than his teammates.
Bruce Pearl on Harper: “Jared Harper has been the quarterback of this basketball program for the last three years. He came here on a promise that together we could help make Auburn basketball relevant. Promises made. Promises kept.”
One of these QBs would’ve won a national championship on all four teams. Three of these QBs would not have won a national championship on one of these teams.
5-star WR George Pickens admits his Auburn commitment was wavering at times amid some of the offseason noise. His official visit last weekend, however, reminded him why he chose the Tigers in the first place.
The Falcons called Kirk Cousins when they were on the clock to let him know.
From what I learned, Cousins understood a QB would be considered but he did not believe his successor would be taken in the first round. I’m told he’s a bit stunned.
This is the year. TJ Finley has improved so much under this new offense. He’s focused. He’s having fun. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a dark horse for the Heisman.
Bruce Pearl thinks the Chuma Okeke injury is pretty serious. Most of the players in the locker room said they don’t expect him to be able to go Sunday vs. Kentucky or Houston. It sucks. There’s no other way to put it.
The message was pretty consistent, though: “Play for Chuma.”
FINAL: Auburn 97, North Carolina 80.
The Auburn University basketball team just dominated Kansas and UNC in back-to-back games to advance to its second Elite Eight in program history.
Former Auburn quarterback Malik Willis has decided to transfer to Liberty, his father told me. Hugh Freeze found his quarterback. Willis will file a waiver for immediate eligibility. He has two years left to play.
There was a state quarterfinal game this year that pitted
@TheAsaMartin_
and
@bo_nix10
against one another. Game ended 51-50 (OT) in favor of Nix.
Nix: 400 passing yards and 7 TDs.
Martin: 261 rushing yards and 3 TDs.
That's the future Auburn backfield.
More good news for Auburn: Top RB target Mark-Antony Richards commits to Auburn over Florida, Georgia, Miami and Penn State.
Methinks Auburn fans will look back fondly at the DJ Williams + Mark-Antony Richards RB class.
The entire North Carolina team just came over to give their support. It's a standing ovation in the Sprint Center.
Nobody wanted to see that. It looks like Chuma's night just ended with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists.
Steven Pearl was on the scout for the Kentucky game last time and this time. I asked him simply: How the hell were you able to beat Kentucky today? His answer was tremendous.
Georgia RB signee Nate Frazier reflects on why Georgia was an easy choice for him.
"When I went to one of them Georgia games, I was like, nah, I ain't going nowhere. I was like, yeah, I'm a Dawg. This is where it's at."

With this hire, half of Auburn's position coaches —Cadillac Williams, Kodi Burns, Rodney Garner and Travis Williams — were either named first-team all-SEC or won a national championship as Tigers football lettermen.
