Description: NOTE: This was recorded before the Dallas Walker news but I do discuss it for two minutes at the start of the second segment.Auburn Tigers fans finally get fresh optimism as Byrum Brown is ranked among the SEC’s elite quarterbacks, sparking hopes for a major turnaround. Can Auburn leverage Brown’s dynamic playmaking—and veteran coaching continuity—to emerge as a top contender this season? Zac Blackerby and Darrell Dapprich debate Auburn’s preseason quarterback power rankings, how Brown’s proven stats change the team’s identity, and whether national pundits are starting to give Auburn overdue respect. The spotlight also turns to Auburn’s defensive line, now unanimously regarded as the roster’s biggest question mark. Are the young sophomores and transfer additions enough to anchor the front, or will depth and run-stopping power remain a cause for concern? Plus, Auburn basketball preps for a crucial matchup against the Texas Longhorns. Can the Tigers sustain their momentum after a historic win in Gainesville, or will complacency threaten their tournament run?Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
