I’m looking forward to covering these next two basketball games at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. That’s the lead question of this week’s mailbag, and that’s why I’m starting yet another mailbag about this 2023 Auburn football team with a “really” question.Įlsewhere this week, we have questions about Auburn’s wide receivers, Payton Thorne, trap games, future basketball opponents, Mexican restaurant power rankings and a lot more. But you might also be thinking about how artificial that improvement might be, considering the quality of opponent. You might be excited about how much better the Tigers have looked since their four-game losing streak. On the football field, Auburn has reeled off three straight wins, with the latest being an absolute beatdown of Arkansas that few saw coming. That brings us to today’s mailbag, which is a day early to compensate for Auburn basketball’s back-to-back matchups in Brooklyn against Notre Dame and either Saint Bonaventure or Oklahoma State. Go back to July, when I wrote the mailbag titled “How much hype should Auburn really have for 2023?” Or how about a month later, when I wrote the mailbag titled “How much has Auburn really improved this offseason?” But are those feelings valid? Should I really be thinking this?”Īnd really is not the best word for a trained writer to use, but I like using it, because it fits the theme of these questions. One of the biggest ones is, essentially, “OK, I’m reading and seeing and feeling this way about Auburn. NEW YORK CITY - If you do a mailbag like this long enough, you’ll start to notice some themes.
