The Rundown, Ep. 715 (9-15-26)
The AuburnSports Rundown
Bryan Matthews and Jay G. Tate reconvene to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers both around the USM and changes along the offensive line ahead of this showdown with Florida. Also included: • Defense was good against USM; offense was generally excellent • What about Wilson Zierer? For a freshman to do that? • Byrum Brown was better. In fact, he was damn good. • What to do at tailback? Omar and Bryson look like studs, too. • Is Golesh serially dissatisfied — or is that an act? • What does this Florida team look like? • Florida fans seem pretty confident...

Bryan Matthews and Jay G. Tate reconvene to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers around the Tigers' narrow win over the hated Baylor Bears. Included in that: • Winning is always a good thing, right? • Byrum Brown has some work to do. • Eric Winters, Elijah Melendez and Jared Smith absolutely balled out. • Defending 99 snaps is not tenable if you're hoping to win games. • We were worried about tackles and we should have been worried about interior linemen. • The Tigers' last touchdown drive was excellent. • Does this win change how we feel about the team's ceiling...

Bryan Matthews and Jay G. Tate reconvene to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers around the Tigers preparing to attend SEC Media Days. THE MENU: We sure do miss our departed friends Phillip Marshall and Christina Chambers. Champ Anthony is an interesting choice to represent Auburn in Tampa. (Because he's not necessarily a star on the field.) Byrum Brown and Alex McPherson also are great choices. Alex Golesh is going to be who we think he is, right? RIGHT? The basketball team has everyone on campus now ... and this looks like a terrific ballclub. People aren't talking about this...

BONUS: The AuburnSports Basketball Show (2-5-26)
The AuburnSports Rundown
The Rundown has been on hiatus for the past six weeks or so, but we're still putting out content. In this BONUS offering, Jay G. and Justin Hokanson sit down for 25 minutes to discuss the Tigers basketball team — its loss at Tennessee, its upcoming game against the hated Alabama Crimson Tide. Also discussed: -- Steven Pearl's comments about Alabama F Charles Bediako -- Why Pearl shouldn't really mess with Tahaad Pettiford's mentality too much -- Why is it so important to keep Alabama at or under 80 points? -- Auburn actually is a decent three-point shooting team Give it a listen! We do...

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers around Alex Golesh essentially finishing off his staff for 2026. (And it's a damn good one.) Also: Larry Scott brings a TON of experience to the table at TE. Larry Porter knows Auburn, knows how to recruit, is very good. Tim Banks might be the steal of this staff. Auburn has several guys headed to the portal. Who are the toughest hits? What is Auburn getting in OL Bear McWhorter? What happened with this 2026 signing class? Who gets the (dis)credit? The Fightin' Pearls clawed out a win...

Jay G. Tate works by himself to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers around Alex Golesh's marathon press conference from earlier this week and what it taught us. Also: He sure seems authentic, doesn't he? He's been described as a DOG. (This is different than a WOLF.) If Kodi Burns likes him, I like him. Golesh was able to keep Durkin, which was very important. The staff is nearly fulled out at this point. Golesh says he wants to build though HS recruiting and supplement with portal. What should we think about that early signing period? Who are the real guys in this class? MBB...
info_outlineBryan Matthews, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers around the Tigers' hire of Alex Golesh as football head coach.
Also:
Offense first? Not really.
What does he mean by following a process?
Most of the guys already hired are on offense.
What's going to happen with Durkin? What's the holdup?
What's going to happen at quarterback? So many options!
Losing Roc Bellantoni is a surprise.
Losing Kenyatta Watson hurts.
Some coaches are still here.
Golesh's contract is quite incentivized.
Basketball was up and down in Vegas.
NC State is coming to town Wednesday night. Another big game.
The show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company with locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Florence, suburban Charlotte, Chapel Hill and Las Vegas. Check them out IN PERSON for delicious chicken or on the web at www.voodoowingco.com.
