The Auburn Observer

Justin and Dan open the show by running through the news of the weekend, headlined by Johni Broome’s big performance at the G League Elite Camp, baseball’s sweep of Ole Miss and softball’s brutal draw in the NCAAs.

The rest of this (massive) episode is spent breaking down Auburn football’s projected win total of 6.5 for the 2023 regular season. Justin gives his three “tone-setter” games of the schedule. Dan wonders aloud about the Alabama quarterback situation and Jimbo Fisher’s future at Texas A&M.

And do not fret: Painter will be back in your ear canals on Thursday’s show.

With Painter on the road, Adam Cole of the Opelika-Auburn News joins Justin and Dan to talk about what he heard from Hugh Freeze at the Regions Tradition Pro-Am in Hoover on Wednesday morning.

Justin, Painter and Dan discuss Payton Thorne’s decision to transfer to Auburn and what he’ll bring to the Tigers’ quarterback room. Painter talks about the positive direction for the program this offseason. Justin shares some of his stat findings. And Dan has several historical Auburn quarterback comparisons for Thorne.

The guys also talk about Caleb Burton’s signing over the weekend and how he’s a big upside pick in a wide receiver group that needed an infusion of talent. They look at Burton’s recruiting pedigree and discuss whether 5-foot-11 is actually “short” in football.

Towards the end of the episode, the guys look at Matthew Cleveland’s decision to transfer to Miami and where Bruce Pearl’s program might go next in a continuing roster transformation. They also shout out the big weekend the Tigers had in both softball and baseball.

Justin and Dan handle this episode without Painter’s supervision, and it goes just as you might have predicted. The final 20 to 30 minutes of this podcast has nothing to do with sports and very little to do with Auburn. You were warned.

Most of the episode, though, spans both Tigers football and basketball: the signing of Appalachian State edge rusher Ja…

Justin, Painter and Dan open the show by breaking down the latest developments in the quarterback transfer portal, led by the entries for Nebraska’s Casey Thompson and Michigan State’s Payton Thorne. They take a look at what the two Big Ten quarterbacks bring to the table and why the Tigers might get involved.

Then the guys look at the latest transfer portal defections for Auburn and how the 2021 recruiting class is almost completely gone on the Plains. Now that the portal is closed, how will the Tigers try to finish off their 2023 roster?

The episode wraps up with a look at this past weekend’s NFL Draft — where several former Tigers landed, what stood out from an interesting first round and how RUNNING BACKS ARE BACK, Y’ALL.

Justin returns from the Ambush tour in Atlanta …

Justin, Painter and Dan run through a busy weekend for Auburn basketball in this edition of the podcast — from the de-commitment of Labaron Philon to the hire of new assistant coach Corey Williams and the transfer of Division II star Chaney Johnson.

The guys look at how much Bruce Pearl’s Tigers are changing this offseason and take the temperature of the program in a rapidly improving SEC landscape. They also talk about a pair of noteworthy transfer targets still out there and where Auburn can continue to revamp its roster.

There’s also a decent amount of Disney World and Skybar talk in here. Welcome to the offseason, baby.
