Just saw the SEC Now crew dropping their 2026 schedule takeaways and I already know what they said about us. They always pull the same tired narrative. "Auburn has a brutal stretch." "Tough road ahead." "Question marks at key positions." Meanwhile they glaze Georgia and Alabama every. Georgia lost half their defense to the draft and Alabama is trying to glue together a line through the portal. But sure, we are the ones with the questions.

The ones who understand what it means to run through the tunnel at Jordan-Hare. The ones who know that Auburn is not just a brand, it is a family. The SEC schedule is brutal for everybody. That is the whole point of being i...
