With Auburn football season starting next week, Justin and Dan decide to pivot (basketball term) and do 2/3 of this episode on Bruce Pearl’s Tigers.

The guys break down Auburn basketball’s 2025 SEC schedule, from the double Saturday draw against Alabama and the road-heavy start to the three straight home games and the make-or-break stretch to close the …

Nathan King of Auburn Undercover makes his return to the podcast to join Justin and Dan for a final wrap-up of the Tigers’ 2024 football fall camp.

The guys discuss the developing situation along the offensive line and why that could be an issue for the Tigers early in the season. They also look at Amaris Williams, Malik Blocton and a very productive defensive front — along with the news that Hank Brown is the new backup quarterback behind Payton Thorne on the Plains.

Towards the end of the episode, Nathan gives his thoughts on Auburn’s Maui Invitational draw and the 2024-25 schedule before getting a pitch to watch Jerry Maguire from Dan.

In a fall camp filled with optimism, Justin and Dan break down some areas that could be concerns for Auburn football this season — a “brake check,” if you will, for the 2024 Tigers.

The guys discuss what we still don’t know about Payton Thorne and the Auburn passing offense, which somehow leads to a metaphor from a Gwyneth Paltrow movie. They also look a…

Justin and Dan break down what they saw inside Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday during Auburn football’s first scrimmage of fall camp.

The guys open with plenty of praise for Malcolm Simmons and an impressive group of freshman wide receivers, followed by a breakdown of what was a mixed bag kind of day for Payton Thorne and the first-team offense. They also discuss what stood out on an impressive defensive front, the players who caught their eye and some special teams updates.

Justin and Dan break down a busy first week of Auburn football fall camp, with a focus on the Tigers’ offense — after talking to all five assistants on that side of the ball.

The guys discuss Payton Thorne and where they could see the most improvement from him that doesn’t have anything to do with the new weapons. They talk diva receivers and Auburn’s ve…

Justin and Dan open the show with a traditional vibe check on the first few days of Auburn football fall camp. They look at how things could be different for the Tigers on the field in 2024 and how the recruiting success has put the coaching staff ahead of the curve.

Later in the episode, the guys discuss Auburn basketball officially announcing its neutral site matchup in Atlanta against Ohio State and how a crazy non-conference schedule is getting even crazier. Switching back to football, they look at the players with the most buzz so far in practices.

They discuss how the Tigers have been able to capitalize on the coaching change on the other side of the state in one big way and how all of this recruiting success is just part of the equation.

The show opens with an important announcement regarding the future of The Auburn Observer.

Justin, Dan and Painter then talk where Auburn was slotted in the preseason SEC predicted order of finish. They explain why they think the Tigers’ spot is quite fair and how the league’s balance of power shows just how thin the margins might be in 2024.

The guys also discuss the All-SEC teams, including a surprise omission from all three for Auburn tight end Rivaldo Fairweather. The episode concludes with a salute to JT Thor against Team USA ahead of Olympic basketball and an important question: What’s the best part of your day?
