Well hot diggity damn

you know what sucks the most? that if Auburn shows up ready to play that game and doesn't wait until it's in a 17-0 hole to do anything it wins

hey, guess whose job it is to have the team ready to play?

just get out of bounds

Jordan-Hare Stadium Occult Powers vs. the Kalen DeBoer Twilight Close Game Bullshit Zone

who will win?

"what if we play the quarterback who can move under pressure and see if he can get the ball to Malcolm Simmons" seems like an offensive breakthrough that should've occurred so, so long ago

but I will accept it happening right now, yes

why are we lining up a freshman running back with four catches all season out wide late while driving for a tying TD late in the third quarter of the Iron Bowl, is my question

let's see how DJ Durkin's attempt to prove he can maintain his team's defensive performance in the head coaching role is going, shall we

ah

hmmm

Auburn's receivers participating in the First Annual Dipping of Gloves in the Vat of Bacon Grease of Glorious Victory may have been a mistake
November 30, 2025 at 1:49 AM
me in theory: I can't root for Auburn today, it might--it probably would--mean head coach DJ Durkin

me in practice the moment we look live at Jordan-Hare with Alabama in the building: WAR DAMN EAGLE

CRUSH THEM

WIN

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

among realistic Auburn candidates would've been happy w/ any of Drinkwitz, Golesh, Sumrall or Lea, in that order

with Drink and Lea extension-committed, if Sumrall opts for UF feels like odds of a hire I'm much less happy with increase dramatically

Today in sports action here at Jerry Hinnen Enterprises LLC:

-- Huddersfield Town fart around playing out of the back, give up stupidest goal to lose 2-1 at Luton
-- Hawks get wire-to-wire obliterated by [checks notes] the Washington Wizards
-- Auburn hoops gives up 102 to Michigan, loses by 30

remember thinking a few seasons into Gus's tenure how lucky I was, as a middle-aged fan with no memory of Barfield, that the *worst* Auburn hire of my lifetime directly resulted in both a national championship and an obvious, successful candidate to replace him

that debt has been so freaking repaid
Our second head-coach in a row who behaved as a saboteur.

62 points against a low-rung FBS-caliber opponent

Freeze putting together the offense he did with the talent he had would be in cheese-wheel "not even mad, just impressed" territory if not for the fact that I was, am, and always will be extremely mad
November 22, 2025 at 10:10 PM
after two possessions each way comfortable saying I don't need to know the Mercer coach's name to know he'd be a better hire for Auburn than Durkin

So last night absolutely rocked, and the Paraguay game didn't rock a whole lot less

the job was to get us pumped for 2026. I, for one, am hella pumped. My column (no, really):
So that’s why the USMNT hired Mauricio Pochettino 🇺🇸

A near second-choice XI put five past Uruguay, set piece routines looked sharp, a tactical approach has crystalized, and Gio Reyna returned with real impact.

Ten Windows, No. 3: So that’s why the USMNT hired Mauricio Pochettino, huh?
The United States has never looked better under Pochettino. Is the team rounding into form at just the right time?

1. slouching us ever further towards college athletics bethlehem

2. giving Matt an excuse to write a banger of a piece, give him money to write more of them
November 19, 2025 at 5:45 PM
kinda think Poch should've moved past the "opportunities" stage to the "get the guys who will play next summer on-field reps together" stage by now

(admittedly happy for more Aidan Morris minutes)
14.1 - With an average of 14.1 caps entering the match, this is the least experienced starting XI the #USMNT has named in an official FIFA international window within a year of appearing in a World Cup since October 2005 vs. Panama (7.6). Opportunities.

turned this on as a prurient Hawks fan

comfortably the most "1-seed takes on 16-seed that finished 6th in the MAAC and got hot at the conference tourney" NBA game I've seen
In terms of overall sad tromboneness, this is some elite stuff here. Pelicans are at home against the defending champions, playing in front of an arena that I will generously describe as half full, and are getting absolutely bodied.

down 22, final quarter of the final game of the road trip, Risacher out, win the game anyway

the Hawks have

something approximating

the juice????
Easily the most impressive win of the season

NAW put the team on his back in the 4Q

changing of the guard in American curling tonight, but not just about what happened in the best-of-3 at Trials. Team Casper has been lights-out all season.

So has Shuster tbf, but this wasn't an upset in terms of anything but experience. Thrilling to see Casper get this good this soon
Danny Casper, Luc Violette, Ben Richardson, Aidan Oldenburg

They need to qualify the country in, but that’s the USA curling team for the 2026 Olympics

Long live John Shuster
