The AuburnSports.com Rundown

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate and Sir Brian Stultz return with a show centered on Hugh Freeze's remarkably successful first Early Signing Day. He was a flippin' fool — snagging eight players who were headed for other Power Five programs before changing course and signing with the Tigers.

How did Freeze pull that off? How much work is left to do?

The guys also discuss the hire of Marcus Davis as wideouts coach. Former Auburn player who's been a model citizen and coach everywhere he's been? Seems like a win to us, though he doesn't have as much CURB APPEAL as some other guys Freeze considered.

And what about the Fightin' Pearls? They're 10-2 as they open conference season Wednesday night against the hated Florida Gators. The loss at USC was stinky, but the win at Washington was a true tour de force that provided a perfect stepping stone into SEC competition.

The show ends with a slew 'o shoutouts for outstanding members of the BUNKER fAUmbly.

The show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company with locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Las Vegas. Check them out IN PERSON for delicious chicken or on the web at www.voodoowingco.com.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST [USER=954]@Russ47[/USER] reconvene for a show centered around THE EARLY SIGNING DAY.

There is so much going on. Auburn added three players on Sunday and two more on Tuesday morning. Flip Season is in full swing — and there's almost certainly more flipping ahead. How has coach Hugh Freeze and his staff managed to elicit such a remarakable turnaround in such a short period of time?

The guys take a look at each position's needs — and what this staff is doing to address those needs.

Zac Etheridge and Trovon Reed will be sticking around, which is BIG news for Auburn in general.

The Fightin' Pearls dropped one in Los Angeles the other day in ... curious fashion. What happened? And can this get fixed ahead of the BIG TILT AT WASHINGTON on Wednesday? Wen Green should be good to go with his ankle injury, which means turnovers probably will drop off considerably.

The show ends with a slew 'o shoutouts for outstanding members of the BUNKER COMMUNITY.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST [USER=954]@Russ47[/USER] reconvene for a centered around Hugh Freeze's first week on the job. 

The guys delve into Freeze's enthusiastic, head-first foray into recruiting — and his effort to rebuild some relationships tattered by the previous regime. With Freeze's work there has been universally appreciated by Auburn folks, his pursuit of (and hiring of) assistant coaches hasn't been received quite as well. 

Portal Season began Monday. Several Auburn kids have made the jump, but only one that has any real chance to start next season here. Who is Auburn considering in terms of ADDING kids from the Portal? Caleb and B-Matt have some ideas. 

Henry and B-Matt speak about the Fightin' Pearls' win against Colgate (hot shooting!), the upcoming game against Memphis and what Chance Westry's maturation could mean for this team's ultimate ceiling. The show ends, as usual, with a smorgasbord of shoutouts.
