How does Hugh Freeze motivate the Tigers for this weekend

Transcript

00:00 their season trend says no way. It says that they've already

00:03 mailed it in there. They're going to go to some, you know,

00:05 Liberty Bowl, Independence Bowl, they're going to go to some low

00:08 level tier bowl and call it a season. Katie, what in the world

00:12 is going on with Auburn after their 31 to 10 loss to New

00:15 Mexico State?

00:16 Yeah, it's kind of after they lost and just kind of in

00:20 preparation for this week, I started listening to some

00:22 Auburn podcasts at the beginning of the week because I haven't

00:26 followed who freezes press conferences all year. So I don't

00:28 really, you know, nobody's been saying but they were kind of

00:31 saying it is it's been an interesting balance for him

00:33 because he's been saying apparently all year that it's

00:37 not the personnel he wants. It's not, you know, they'll get that

00:40 when he gets in recruits, and he's been doing pretty well so

00:42 far on the recruiting trail. But it's like, how can you so he's,

00:47 you know, he's acknowledging this isn't what he wants. But

00:49 how do you say that publicly and then you go back in the locker

00:52 room and face those guys and they're like, you're not the

00:54 personnel we want, you're not good enough. So you know, I

00:57 call kind of wasn't super aware of that until the beginning of

01:00 this week. But I do think the Iron Bowl, it has it creates its

01:06 own motivation for Auburn. Even if he has lost him a little bit.

01:09 Now I do think that especially now I think the fans will still

01:14 be Sabrina because they always are for the Iron Bowl. But I

01:16 think if Auburn was coming into this game on a four game win

01:20 streak, I think the crowd would be even more rocking because

01:24 you're having a chance to play for a pretty good bowl game a

01:26 pretty good season. I mean, really a great season by their

01:29 stangers if they finish. I guess that would be eight and four

01:32 year.

01:32 Yeah, if they had won last week, they'd be looking at eight and

01:35 four winning.

01:36 Yeah. And a win over Alabama, of course is huge for them. So I

01:42 think the crowd and the team would have been even more fired

01:47 up. But I just don't. Yeah, I don't know what's going down

01:51 what's going on down on the plains. I think this obviously

01:54 is not the personnel he freeze once and he may last week have

01:58 kind of been mailing it in and looking ahead to the Iron Bowl

02:00 this week and it obviously ended up costing Auburn and giving

02:05 them a pretty embarrassing loss in year one.
