As the Plains Burn.... v4.0

Bare in mind, they likely spent a crap load of money for a PR firm to come up with this.

Enjoy.... (flea'd from tRant)

That quote doesnt even make sense

That quote doesnt even make sense

It's a classic page out of the tech bro handbook: instead of putting the effort into saying something meaningful, just vomit buzzwords in a cadence that sounds compelling as long as the intended audience doesn't stop and think about it, knowing that they won't.

Don't be scared homie, Hugh already said he's beaten him twice and will do it again.

[confucius say]

We're being instructed about commitment by that piece of crap? Seriously? Of all things, commitment? Next is he going to teach us about respecting women?
Get the heck out of here with that garbage Auburn.

[Ranchdawg]

Not to high jack the thread but what Freeze did at the confederate?s place will pale in comparison to what he will do at AU. And it?s now legal except buying prostitutes. He?s got a lot more money to do it with the NIL Kirby, Saban and others can?t say a damn thing.

Let that set in for a moment.

They all have just as much money or more. When he did it at ole miss he "surprised" folks. He ain't surprising anyone this time and others will have the opportunity to match or exceed his bid. I just don't think he's gonna do much.

[msu15]

I'll take that bet...

See ya on the Plains November 25 as Robby Ashford runs for his third touchdown in front of 90,000+ and sends Nick out to pasture.

Yeah, people want to try to take what he did at UM and use "transitive" ideology as to what he will do at Aubie...

It's MUCH more nuanced than that... And if he thinks for 1 minute that he and Cohen won't get Coup de Tattooed, he hasn't been paying attention...

I'm thinking the PR firm is purposefully making it bad. Did they actually incorporate "air quotes" into the design before you get to "Commitment"?

And they left out an "is" I presume? Or either changed "when you commit" to "when your commitment". Or maybe this was an actual quote and they didn't clean it up because they wanted him to look stupid. Maybe that's what the quote things are there for, to indicate this was an actual incoherent statement made by Freeze and not a design screwup.

Alternatively, maybe this is them trying to saturate the market with references to Hugh and infidelity and prostitutes to try to get people numb to them. IF they can get people to bring up prostitutes every time they see his name between now and August, maybe it will be a stale subject by the time football is being played.

I love me some prop bets! So far we've got:

1) Aubie wins the '23 Iron Bowl,
2) Ashford runs for 3 TDs,
3) Nick retires subsequently

Hate to tell you bro but he's going to be successful at Auburn. He's taken Auburn rejects and won more with him than Auburn did. The dude can flat out coach. Also, with the way the portal is he may beat Bama year 1. Pay attention, since the portal started Bama hasn't won a championship. The talent is being spread.

[Goldendawg]

Did y'all notice the bottom of this? "Faith. Attitude. Mental Toughness. Integrity. Love. You." Just threw up in my mouth and on the way to take a very hot shower. This guy hasn't changed a bit. Hope AU goes 1-10-1 with the win over OM and a tie with bama.

Totally agree with ya on this.... The Portal is definitely leveling things out... and Bammer is certainly lookin' a lot more vulnerable...

In fact, I was curious, so I ran the numbers and they back-up your assertions... I just don't think they are as horrible as some make them out to be....

What's that to the right of "When Your"? Quotation marks?

It's the equivalent of doing sarcastic "air quotes", lol.

The very last line looks like he combined part of a church slogan with a football slogan.

I'm just going to tell you as a Mississippi State fan that was around for the Hugh Freeze era at Ole Miss the worst part about Hugh Freeze is Hugh Freeze's self righteousness. When they get a recruit from Alabama get ready for something like "They came to Auburn because of our Godly atmosphere".

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he flames out at Auburn. He's known to have WTF losses- his two fluky wins over Alabama somehow overshadow that somehow. But he's good for at least one a year. You can do that at Ole Miss or Liberty. You can't do that at Auburn.

Also, when he first got to Ole Miss his HUNH offense was fairly new to the SEC. That gave him and Mahlzahn an advantage at the time. That's not new now and is probably the norm. He doesn't have that advantage anymore. I watched UCF play Tulane last weekend and I'm sure UCF ran some up tempo stuff but I didn't notice it like I would have in 2013.

Oh for sure.

I remember when he signed Greg Little (5* OL), who when committed, said of Freeze: "He's a very religious guy...He can help me get in touch with my religion. He’s a very big believer, going to church and everything".

Did the 2022 season happen? And it?s not really the portal it?s NIL - portal is just free agency powered by NIL. The bama trend line is below water.

With a level playing field of talent, coaching will be the difference and we know how well saban has performed with equal talent.

As long as they are getting a pile of money.....they won't care.

I agree. He's gonna say "God loves auburn".
I say 2-3 years and he gets fired for some stupid behavior along with average results.

Fair enough, I'll throw that in, as well (the win %s are eerily similar to the 07-present):

2018, 14-1, SEC Champ 8-0, #2
2019, 11-2, 6-2, #8
2020, 13-0, SEC Champ 10-0, #1
2021, 13-2, SEC Champ 7-1, #2
2022, 11-2. 6-2, #5 (assumes a win vs KSU)

62-7, 37-5, 3 SECCs, 1 NC, 2 Runner Ups

freeze will win 7-8 a year and be hated for it after 3 seasons
