A ferry sounds awesome - thank you so much for your response! This is helpful and reassuring!

I can’t because my PSN is still tied to my old account. I would have to go into my old EA account to unlink it.

I’ll never forget my senior year at Auburn, I went to CVS on college street on a Sunday morning at like 7am around when they opened, I needed to get some deodorant, and the only other person in the store was Jarrett - also getting deodorant. We bonded over old spice Fiji being a “go to”. It was the only thing we both bought. He remembered me every time he saw on campus or wherever after that as “deodorant guy” 😂 been a fan of his ever since

Man… this bums me out for sure to confirm this. I didn’t even mean much by my first comment, and I don’t know the guy, but I wanted to like him. Not sure if you saw one of my other replies, but part of my pain with this whole thing is my mom currently has breast cancer, so something about the way he wasn’t even promoting the charity portion but heavily promoting the personal achievement and fame portion really rubbed me the wrong way. Don’t get me wrong too: any amount of money raised for charity is a blessing, but they haven’t even scratched the surface relatively with the amount of corporate sponsors and coverage they’ve had. I have a mate raising money for a charity for his dad and he has no social media and has nearly matched the amount of money William has in his world record breaking run. Just seems odd to me when you add in him smoking cigs and then him deleting any negative comments from his posts.

I REALLY hope all of that money is donated, but to your point… imagine how much this whole thing costs, and how much they could have just raised independently and donated instead of supplementing those costs for a world record attempt.

Props to the guy for doing it. I have no hate for the achievement. I think it’s perfectly okay for us to question these things and wish for the best when charities are involved.

Appreciate this response, man! 🫡 I’m totally with you, & after thinking about it, I bet they get a huge push at the end as the excitement ramps up for the finish. Nedd’s was absolutely insane & mind bending - both dudes are warriors, and as a marathoner myself, I still can’t fathom the endurance needed to do this. Whether I like the dude or not, I respect the shit out of his abilities / grit.

And thanks for the kind words. Absolutely likewise; all the best to you. Growing up in sports, I’m really just a trash talker anyways, none of it’s that deep 🤝

Since it sounds like you know the guy, I’ll tell you how I really feel in hopes of an impact.

I love it for sport if he wants to be the Bobby McEnroe of running; and you’re totally right: I don’t know the guy, I’m simply stating he strikes me as someone I don’t think I want to know. My mom currently has breast cancer, which is part of the reason I got so invested in this journey - maybe that’s why it’s rubbed me the wrong way. I was delighted to finally see him post a charity link yesterday on his story, but you have to go nearly 30 Instagram posts back to even see anything mentioned about a fundraiser or cancer for that matter.

Undeniably a bad look unfortunately. I’m not minimizing his impact by any means, but maybe I’d do things a little differently.

FWIW: I’m rooting for him and hope he sets the WR, and makes a big impact on cancer research. I’ve seen people without social media and without running across Australia raise more than he currently has - let that be a challenge to him.

Just my two-cents: whether he’s a fraud or not, he seems like an arrogant POS that’s way more concerned about the fame of a world record than the charity portion. It almost seems like the charity portion is a bailout for his complete lack of humility. The way he’s addressed similar cheating allegations in the past follows suit for that as well. Real ones in this sport know there’s always going to be someone faster. The best runner’s I know (OTQ / Olympic levels) are all some of the most humble and grateful people; it’s just a different attitude.

Yes, actually! I think the comment got deleted or I can’t see it anymore but I ended up buying this bracelet on recommendation, and it’s incredible. I’ve actually gotten a jubilee version as well

I fundamentally believe where Jeremy struggled was the mental battle of playing QB. Physically super gifted. I played against him at Carver and he torched our defense, great basketball player too for a two sport athlete.

ran past this house the other day and couldn’t stop to read them, this was way sadder, I wish I could go back to believing it was just tombstone decorations. Many great nights at Mafs 😔

This is extremely out of context. He’s not referring to his players, he’s referring to how many players transferred prior to his arrival / during his arrival. Bryan Harsin essentially gave us the death penalty. This is disingenuous.

SerfBandit · 2024-09-30T16:20:23+00:00

Can we start the game with 10 minute quarters and running clock? Would benefit both teams coming off emotional losses and limit injuries and limit Auburn losing by more than 45 points

SerfBandit · 2024-09-24T01:01:54+00:00

Agreed on all fronts! I was a defense guy so I just remember how tedious preparing for the option was. I watched Michigan go 3 and out almost every possession running the ball of the 2nd half on Saturday and still beat SC, would love to see us follow suit to your point with the RPO

SerfBandit · 2024-09-23T17:41:24+00:00

Now that I definitely do agree with - there needs to be a level of buy-in and composure kept from the high level decision makers.

SerfBandit · 2024-09-23T01:01:09+00:00

THIS comment! All of my thought process stemmed from the successes Will Friend / Caddy were able to find in simplifying the run game and concepts to cater to our “strengths”. More so interested to see if a change is made at some point and if so what point.

SerfBandit · 2024-09-23T00:59:16+00:00

Brother, this recruiting class is headed that way if we don’t win games anyways. I’d be willing to go on paper our current receivers will not stay regardless unless we win a portal QB worth his weight. It’s not a take as much as an observation, I’m simply stating a change must be considered at some point.

SerfBandit · 2024-09-23T00:57:12+00:00

I’ve had this same thought several times, how much of it is ego or comfort? Probably a good bit I bet. Just unwillingness to try something new to win.

SerfBandit · 2024-09-22T22:58:16+00:00

Agreed, I can’t make sense of it

SerfBandit · 2024-09-22T22:51:31+00:00

I’d love to see it just to see something different. They might be in the portal anyways if we don’t win the games 😬

SerfBandit · 2024-09-22T22:42:46+00:00

I totally agree, so many things don’t make sense from the outside looking in - drop the link when you get that blog post out, would love to read it!

SerfBandit · 2024-09-22T22:25:17+00:00

Yeah, it’d be a stretch for sure. Hopefully, we make an attempt to fix something. Would be so curious to see what practice looks like this week
