I’m assuming it’s the same Maroon Madness thing they do every year, just at McCarthy. They do like a dunk contest, a three point contest, and then a little bit of mixed scrimmaging with the men’s and women’s teams combined. I think one year they played horse.
My gosh, I had forgotten how much coaching turnover there was in the SEC this offseason. I had to Google several of those guys to remember who they were and who they coached. Also totally forgot that Mike White is at Georgia now.
It all depends on the ticketing system. Ticketmaster’s doesn’t allow screenshots, I remember that being the case in Omaha in June 2021. Most others do, though.
I don’t think it will be 100% capacity but it should be a good crowd. First SEC home game, ranked opponent, good kickoff time.
I don’t think we’ve truly had a packed house since the 2018 Florida game. So I don’t know that I'm expecting that here. But should be a good crowd. 55K sounds about...
That might be the single dumbest TV schedule I have ever seen. Tennessee-LSU AND State-Arkansas at 11 am while Ole Miss-Vandy and Kentucky-South Carolina get good time slots is a joke. I get the Bama-A&M thing but why on God’s green earth would anyone want to watch Auburn at Georgia this year...
I generally agree but also think we can win an ugly game with A&M. They are last in the league in scoring offense and total offense.
21-24 points may be all you need to win on Saturday.
A&M’s offense isn’t very good period. Their highest point total this year is 31 and that was against an FCS team.
Against FBS opponents they have scored 17, 17, and 23. They have some skill talent but generally speaking it’s a bad offense.
Tulsa can’t stop them so the result isn’t in much question, but the point remains that Ole Miss has probably played the easiest September schedule in the country so far. We don’t know jack about them yet.
Bowling Green is 8-24 since 2016 and has one of the worst defenses in the country. This isn’t the same program that gave us a scare in 2013 with Dave Clawson as their coach.
Maybe we don’t cover the 30 point spread but I’ll be surprised if this isn’t a comfortable win for us. And either way I...
Most of those were total disasters.
Cristobal and Jimbo at least maintained the status quo, even if they didn’t really elevate much.
Mullen started off strong but couldn’t maintain it. The wheels started falling off in late 2020 and then 2021 was a train wreck for him.
