Auburn and the 7 Years.

By -

   Here we are again.  Another article explaining the great decisions made by the University of Auburn to keep this man a job. If you would like to see some reference material for this article please refer to this links (Auburn Was a Fraud , Final Days of the Gus Bus)  
   
   Coming in hot after the victory to Alabama in the Iron Bowl the Auburn Tigers were looking like they were playoff bound for sure.  Then they went to Atlanta to face the Georgia Bulldogs again and that turned out to be a huge bust.  They came in with the same game plan that had won them the last game which wasn't going to work for a second time.  On top of that they tried to play Johnson who was not at full speed.  And it looked like they had only planned the week around having him fully healthy knowing he wouldn't be.  

   After all of this the time came for contract negotiation.  Arkansas was strolling up to the door of the Gus Bus.  They were talking nice salaries and years of commitment to the mediocre superstar.  And what did Auburn do.  They were like no Gus don't leave us because there is no one else to hire at the moment.  And instead of a 3 year deal or maybe even 4 they went and matched Arkansas and made it where in a year when they are tired of being little brother to Nick they will have to pay untold amounts of money to get rid of this clown.  

   Then comes New Years Day at the Peach Bowl.  The Auburn Tigers come to play the undefeated extremely talented UCF Knights.  They came out the gate looking like they were going and run the same offence that got them beat by Georgia the week before.  They looked like they thought they were going to run over this team that was undefeated and when they couldn't do that they did no adjusting to attempt to win the game.  They stuck with the same game plan and never deviated from that.  I can hear the Auburn faithful now saying " Well that is not all Gus fault the coordinators call the plays"  If Sabans coordinators weren't adapting to the game they would be fired or at least getting yelled at and the game plan would change.  But Gus is like that play will work if we run it 17 more times this game.   

  In closing I would like to say congratulations Auburn.  You get to be alright for the next 7 years or pay a huge chunk of change to try and be better.  But hey if your good with alright you will be happy.

Battlefront 2 Pay to Play/ Death of Triple A Games

By -

    Early Access started on Battlefront 2 and the outrage began immediately.  Everyone is saying that main characters of the franchise are locked behind either a pay wall or random luck of the draw with loot crates, that seem to take forever to obtain.  It is sad to see such a promising game get stuck with a pay to win setup.   Pay to win will be the death of the Triple A title and the larger developers if they don't see this.   It is insane to expect people who have already paid $60 for the game you made, to pay another amount of money to unlock content in the game. This model makes people feel like unappreciated and makes the consumer angry which is not a profitable business model.  I am perfectly fine with games that put cosmetics into loot boxes that I have the option to pay for.  This model does not effect the main game play and does not give anyone person a advantage just because they spend more money. Games such as Overwatch, Call of ...

Redskins Refuse to Wear the Color Rush Jersey Tonight

  The fact hat they are the only team that has fussed about this to this point is astounding. But what doesn’t make sense is, they have one of my favorite color rushes.  Theirs is actually enough of a change to make it cool. Unlike some jerseys.  I think they look good but whatever if the team doesn’t want to wear the jersey don’t think you should make them.

The SEC Struggles this Bowl Season

By -
   If you come to the south there is no doubt in anyone's mind down here.  The SEC is the best and for some people the only conference in the NCAA.  They may not even watch other teams unless they are playing a SEC team.     This bowl season is not showing that to be true though.  The SEC is at the moment of writing this 0-3 and with Mississippi State playing at this moment we are looking at 0-4.  I know that we have two teams playing in the playoffs and another team playing Monday as well.     I live in the south and love SEC football but I do not think that we are the best conference.  There have been years that we were the best conference in the NCAA but they are not in previous years.  We have a few good teams a year but the overall conference is below average.
