Day 1 of reason why we will beat Texas A$M

[BulldogBear]

Because he was given a directive from boosters to go get him. They heard Mississippi State was going to get him and we?re not going to lose a QB to us. Cohen has infected them to the point of anything we have or want, they have to have it.

Hmmmm... see below

Are you saying Freeze and the Auburn staff were not allowed to choose a QB they wanted? That place is crazy

Yes

So you are saying we sent a trojan horse ? Cohen is coming through. Evil laugh

Not true. But it ought to be!

The boosters run that place and have really since Jay Jacobs left. Jacobs always had them somewhat under control and they got rid of him so they could install Allen Greene, who they fired to get Cohen because he hired Harsin.

See above. Yes, I've never known of any school where boosters micromanaged things like they do at Auburn. Maybe it was better under Jacobs but that was an anomaly.

I agree that Kyle Field isn't intimidating at all. Unless you get freaked out by weird chants which is maybe what they're going for. To me it seems like the fans are kind of far from the field.

I think fans are close enough to the field. I sat on row 3 right behind the MSU bench in our 35-14 win there in 2017. We were right there. As for the environment, it's hard to put a finger on. Maybe whether it is intimidating or not isn't the right thing to wonder about. If I had to choose a way to put it, I would say this: It is just not that...hostile. Maybe it is for the Longhorns or others. Maybe they just think we are beneath their ire. Talk to any of them and they just can't believe that we have about the same record against them as some blueblood SEC teams since they've joined the conference. Tell them we're 5-5 in the last decade, and they just don't remember it that way. They won't call you a liar, they just don't remember it being like that. Aggies are weird. Passionate. Delusional. But not hostile.
