In recent years, Auburn has finally broken long streaks of not winning in opponents stadium in 20+ years (@ LSU in football, @ UF, UK in basketball). What’s the next one likely to be broken? At Bama or UGA in football (last wins there were ‘10 & ‘05)? Not sure what current longest losing streak is for basketball
Tahaad is playing heavy minutes, and when he is on the bench the results have not been good. It also does not seem likely that Pearl is going to give Magwood another shot at meaningful minutes. I would like to see Overton pick up the back up point guard minutes. To me it is the choice between Freeman getting more minutes (at the 2) in place of Muchalek (at point). That seems like an easy decision to make. What are the advantages/disadvantages of this idea, and do you think Pearl would consider it?
More of a nonsense question, but in the spirit of the transfer portal, what restaurant would you transfer portal to Auburn and where would you put it??
I’m feeling extremely optimistic about the upcoming football season if we have a somewhat functional offense and a defense that is close to the production as last year, is there analytics that show what kind of team we need to be in terms of offense and defense performance that would a playoff team vs an 8 win season vs a losing season?
I noticed Auburn remains unranked even though we have a similar record and in my opinion more quality wins than bama. Im assuming beating an unranked Tennessee team would put us in the top 25 poll right?
Basketball: Bruce always had an elite on-ball defender like Zeb Jasper. I don't think we currently have anyone that qualifies, but who's the closest and how far off are they from being worthy of the title?
Football: Used to be, everyone wanted OL in the portal but there were very few quality guys to be had. Is this still the case or is there more quality available now? Round about way of asking how realistic is it to hope for an above average OL next year out of what Golesh got from the portal?

From your observations, how much has Murphy grown into being the leader for this team?
It really seems after Christmas break he has taken that role to keep this team rolling along.

I'm sure you've written what feels like a million words on Golesh, but I have another question.
There are a few things that stand out to me personally as Good/Bad Coaching:
Penalties, a man management/discipline stat
Middle 8 (which stands in as a Clock Management stat)
Red Zone conversion % (the gotta-have-it stuff which demands high-level execution)
Historically, how does Golesh perform in these areas? Harsin's M8 woes will haunt me for decades.

I know AU Baseball is primed for a big season season this spring. Any chance we can get a spotlight episode before the season starts?
Do you this the new secondary coach prefers taller corners based on the transfer class?
Should Man Utd make carrick full time manager after this start to his tenure?
