Used to be you could park your RV at certain campus parking spots (for instance way down West Samford past Hemlock) for free provided you were the first one to get there. Now Auburn has found a way to pinch more pennies by charging for what used to be free. You now have to reserve parking through RevelXP and the free lots are now car only.
Or can we even? We’re already deep into fall camp, if we bring in a guy now would that just disrupt things?

Very surprising news but gives us another depth piece.
Edit: Full quote that got cut off in case people don't have Twitter: “Your teammates see it. You’re out here trying to hang out and it’s not gonna f****** fly.”
Love to see players holding other players accountable. Building a culture like the one Golesh wants requires the leaders on the team to step up and call out the laziness. So happy that Coach brought along senior players like Best, Skinner, and Brown.
This also reminds me a little of Dylan Cardwell calling out the team after they barely survived round 1 a couple years ago.
That’s a REAL sleeper too, because the SEC media picked Auburn 12th out of 16 teams.
Why I’m watching them: Alex Golesh + Byrum Brown gives Auburn a completely different offensive identity, and LB Xavier Atkins was voted preseason first-team All-SEC. I’m not calling them an SEC champion yet, but I could absolutely see them being that team everybody has ranked around 10th–12th in the conference that suddenly goes 8–4 or 9–3 and ruins somebody’s Playoff hopes.
My sleeper tier would be: Auburn = biggest sleeper, South Carolina = dangerous sleeper, and Missouri = don’t-forget-about-them team. Missouri has more respect nationally, though, so Auburn is the spicier pick.
🔥 HOT TAKE: Auburn finishes higher than at least TWO of Florida, Tennessee, Missouri and South Carolina
I started to post this when someone mentioned the bad music on Auburn Highlight videos. Great music here. My point is that these Auburn teams had three backs far more talented than any in the Pat Dye era, other than Bo Jackson. However, since they had a lousy coach, that had to resort to gimmicks like orange jerseys. Dye did much, much more with much less talent. I'm a big a fan of Little Train Lionel James as anyone, but he wasn't in a league with Cribbs, Brooks or Andrews. These teams also had a trio of great defenders in Freddie Smith, Frank Warren and Edmund Nelson, too.
I was playing around with the idea that Nike and Auburn would greenlight some new looks. I came up with this one, and I feel like it sticks to the traditional look while adding some flair and integrating team identity. Let me know what you think.
