In this episode of Auburn Express powered by War Rapport, the conversation dives into Auburn’s place among SEC athletic donation leaders and whether the Tigers are truly spending enough to compete with programs like Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, and Georgia. The discussion also breaks down why Auburn’s opener against Baylor could become one of the most important tone setting games of the entire season. With Baylor losing key pieces and Auburn bringing in Byrum Brown along with a new coaching staff, expectations are climbing quickly heading into Atlanta. There is also debate surrounding what should realistically count as a successful first season under Alex Golesh. Is 7 and 5 acceptable? Or should Auburn fans expect 8 wins immediately considering the talent already on the roster? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
