  • Best Auburn Podcast

    I listen to multiple Auburn podcasts and Lea n and enjoy them all, but the AU Wishbone always strikes the right mood and I enjoy the wins even longer and I feel a little better after the losses. Van and John just mange to capture the mood and make sure I enjoy the wins more than I wallow in the losses. WDE!

  • Disappointed

    I’ve listened to you guys for years and after hearing John talk about the hiring of Freeze, I had to turn the podcast off. Beyond disappointed and wish you would have at least been open to give the man a Chance. Everyone makes mistakes, imagine if you had to live all yours out in public. We got a good coach. Wish Van could do the show alone.

  • Put the Pitch Forks away!!

    I didn’t want Chizik or Harsin but when they hired them you get behind the coach. You obviously don’t know what it’s like to get a 2nd chance with big mistakes in your life well I have and this guy is thankful and he will be indent to Auburn and will go nowhere if/when other schools come after him. I know what it’s like to receive the Grace of God and I say give him a chance because people do change I am living proof. Thanks I enjoy the show. GodBless
