Building Rapport: Josh Pate says take the under on Hugh Freeze and Auburn Football this season.

[@jimib3]

Pate has been my favorite sports commentator for a while. He has a unique appreciation for Auburn with him being from the area. Shout out to him for taking the time to make some great content with the war rapport.

[@kjshow4173]

Always a great segment. My favorite of the WR Channel.

[@Blazeb23]

This is exactly what we need We dont anyone telling us how great Freeze is We need the Ws to prove it

[@susanscales968]

Mike, great interview! War Eagle!

[@normanspain7160]

7-8 wins is what I’m expecting and anything more would be gravy.Auburns going to play possibly 4 top 10 teams that’s a lot of beat down to recover from.

[@chadrach15]

Getting KLS and the freshmen WRs puts pressure on Payton Thorne to perform. I like where we’re at for the QB position.

[@scottellis800]

Great discussion!

[@catheferguson5479]

We have plenty of people to speak about Auburn in a negative way. All my siblings are married to Bama fans and I live in Tally where my SEC friends are Dawgs and Gators. I'm sure the folks who live elsewhere in the South get the same treatment. There really is no shortage.

[@stephenbowden1142]

Auburn fans piss me off with the negative bs. Im so tired of hearing so called fans still bitching about freeze not being a good coach or not paying a million dollars for a qb that may or may not be any better an most likely would have ran off the future qbs.. Now its omg he went on vacation the last week before the dead period.

[@matthewcofield6251]

As soon as Freeze starts taking as much ownership over game day as he does recruiting, he will start meeting the Auburn fan base expectations.

[@dangerousdylan6262]

Does taking ownership mean going on a vacation the last weekend of the regular season instead of practicing? Because that's what he just did with recruiting.... he's already taking the 4th quarter off

[@willbarclay6125]

People it’s the first of July. Recruiting comes with ups and downs. Nobody has paid more attention to recruiting at Auburn than right now that Freeze is here. You’re gonna have players flip, decommit, recommit, all kinds of stuff. We are way ahead of where we were last year at this time. Chill out man. Two recruits decommit and all of a sudden we are crumbling…lol, put your big boy pants on, we didn’t break the top 10 until EARLY SIGNING DAY last year. Freeze never gives up on a recruit. Just because we didn’t pick up a commit, doesn’t mean it’s over for them. How many guys did we flip on early signing day? Like 3 or 4??? And one was a 5 star in Cam Coleman? We will be fine. Everybodies gotta take a chill pill. You think recruits decommitted because he went on vacation??? lol. Carde Smith was a mutual parting of ways, and Tyler Lockhart is from Mississippi and wants to go play with his brother. But we can still get these recruits back. It happens all the time

[@chrisstiff2914]

I expect 7 wins, not much more.

[@wizarddragon]

I also think Freeze is currently overrated. Thats where my agreement with SEC Mike ends. Freeze has exceeded my expectations in recruiting and he is 100% building it the right way but gameday matters also. We need him to be involved with game planning and play calling. He is being rated for doing all of those things and if he isn't calling plays then he is overrated. We should have won 8-9 games last season but fell short.

Who s SEC Mike? Obviously a nobody

Players win games, you don’t coach speed and strength Les Miles and Chizik won NC’s with talent… just sayin anyone can win with talent but not many can with little. Mike Leach did it about as good as anyone

With all due respect Mr pate that idea ain't Worth a dang

[@roogarel5933]

Mr. Pate get ready to lose bc auburn wins 8+ games this year. These WRs are studs well BC is a lil on the small side i think we got the company to give other teams some real problems. And the D room is stacked

[@JamesBondsLittleFinger]

My mama always told me, if I can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all. Unfortunately, she dead. We will lose to Vandy.

[@TheWarRapport]

You that high on Vandy or that low on Auburn?

[@JamesBondsLittleFinger]

@@TheWarRapport high on Jerry Kill

[@TheWarRapport]

fair. Hugh Freeze has beaten Kill before. So, I guess we will see who comes out on top this time.

[@godbodyscience2102]

Auburn needs to stop waiting on JUJU and spend that money on more 5 star players…..Georgia and BAMA are racking up right now!!!! Smh WDE

[@willbarclay6125]

Stop getting your panties in a wad man. You’re gonna lose recruits. Every team loses recruits. Yes even Bama and Georgia.

For the record I click off this video once you guys changed it to a BAMA podcast SMH WDE

YYYESSSSS Hugh is doing it the ONLY WAY in recruiting

[@wizarddragon]

Recruiting is not the only way. He has to coach the team he has as well.
