  All right, let's finish it up. Auburn football. My question for you
• 0:03
  would be this it is, and I'm asking you look into a crystal ball.
• 0:07
  You know, Hugh Freeze and Auburn. I would expect them to be
• 0:09
  even better than they were last year. They were competitive in games against Georgia,
• 0:13
  competitive against games against Alabama. Should have probably won that ball game.
• 0:17
  When you look at Thorn, Clayton Thorn, the quarterback, the Michigan State
• 0:20
  transfer, under a lot of questions around him, and is he the answer?
• 0:23
  We know that you know other quarterbacks, a couple of them transferred out
• 0:26
  of the program. Is he the answer? Can he get Hugh Freeze where
• 0:30
  he needs to be offensively? Or do you anticipate maybe that second transfer portal
• 0:33
  window Auburn looking into that window for another quarterback To answer your question if you're
• 0:40
  asking me right now, the answer is, I don't see a big improvement
• 0:44
  because you got it. It's not rocket science. You've got to have you
• 0:48
  got to have the great old line. And it comes back to the new
• 0:51
  offensive coordinator, who's going to be Hugh Freeze in all likelihood, so he
• 0:57
  has no one to blame if it doesn't work. The other thing is they're
• 1:00
  relying on an extremely young receiving corps. They had nothing last year and they
• 1:06
  got a kid named cam Coleman. They stole one from Alabama on the recruiting
• 1:10
  trail. But they're both true freshmen and they got a lot of potential.
• 1:14
  But we know what potential is. You'll end up being posed if you wind
• 1:18
  up on potential that doesn't deliver. So it kind of is commensurate with how
• 1:23
  well these young, promising wide receivers can catch the ball and keep the change
• 1:26
  moving and how well they can go I think in about a couple of months
• 1:30
  when that second window opens up and they can plug some holes on the offensive
• 1:34
  line. So to me, it's just like any other place. Your quarterback
• 1:38
  is directly his success, his proportions to that o line, giving you time
• 1:41
  to do your job. So right now, say no, but let's talk
• 1:45
  again after April. Well, fair enough, fair enough, And that is
• 1:47
  a great answer, and you're absolutely right, Harold bug kind enough to give
• 1:49
  some time today, Harold, I appreciate your time. Look, I appreciate
• 1:52
  what you guys continue to do in the great state of Alabama. Thank you
• 1:53
  for making time with us today, and we'll do it again soon You're more
• 1:57
  than welcome. Thanks check
