Recruits Outlook on Auburn - Please Read

  • I know some of you have heard some recruits say Auburn fans have no "swag" which is a slang term for how someone presents themselves / carries themselves. I have to think that this belief comes from the fact that we all sit here and piss and moan at each other about each others beliefs in what is going on in the Auburn program. The simple fact is not ONE single person on this board knows exactly what is going on. Trust in the coaches, they aren't going to mess this up. Are we worried about the OC situation? Yes, but what can we do? NOTHING! We still need to sit back support the program and do what we do. I can't imagine that other boards are like this with everyone complaining and whining at each other. Getting the right hire in is much more important than a couple of recruits that may or may not turn out into good players. I think everyone has just become spoiled because of the last couple of classes Auburn has gotten. If we do or don't get in the top 5, 10, 25 whatever are you going to stop supporting the Auburn program? If you answered yes to that question then you aren't a true Auburn Orange and Blue anyways and I will gladly hand you a map to Tuscaloosa. Sorry for the rant, but the constant whining has GOT TO STOP ....that is what recruits are talking about when they say Auburn fans don't have "swag".

    This is exactly what I'm talking about ... Just using that condescending tone. You might not have heard it, but if you scroll through enough posts you will see "swag" and "swagger". Apparently some recruit said Auburn didn't have swag and what not. In any case, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that we all need to calm down, realize that it is not as bad as some want to believe, and all we need to believe in is the Auburn way. The Auburn way (correct me if I'm wrong) does not include bashing other fans of AU, the coaches and players of AU, and not the recruits that AU is looking for. We just need to wear the Orange and Blue pride and carry on in a respectful manner.

    Yes, I do actually... I feel good about caring more about seeing the program in a positive light rather than bickering and belittling other's opinions. Thank you.

    Seriously... Have never once heard a recruit mention anything about AU fans and "swagga". Although, I have seen this mentioned quite a few times today. I'm just trying to find out who must've said something and when it was said.

  • I disagree. I'm tired of people thinking the last 2 years is an anomaly and are ok with a top 25 class this year. I'm as hard core an Auburn fan as most anybody here but I'm not going to settle for anything but what is required to compete/win championships, top 5 classes. Raise the bar and quick trying to rationalize the current horrible recruiting trend. I currently don't have much confidence in CGC closing strong this year. He needs to close strong just to overcome the current debacle he has created.

  • Just an FYI... The other boards are very much like this one.. except that we have better reporting and more civilized discussions.
