The Auburn Observer

Justin, Dan and Painter open the show by talking about the Auburn offensive line’s recent trip to Mikata and that picture of Garner Langlo’s arms. Painter invents a new genre of restaurant, while Dan and Justin reminisce about Movie Gallery.

After a discussion of 5-star linebacker Demarcus Riddick’s upcoming announcement, the guys each pick out a non-quarterback storyline they’re interested in the most heading into Auburn football fall camp. They also talk about the quarterbacks, of course.

Justin, Painter and Dan open the show by discussing Auburn’s player representatives for next week’s SEC Media Days in Nashville. They talk about why this trio is both surprising and on-point with what the Tigers will want to project heading into Year 1.
