There was probably a moment in the last few days, after all of the basketball had wrapped up, that you realized A-Day was this weekend. In fact, I’d wager to bet a large chunk of the Auburn fan base didn’t even realize spring practice had started. The magic that was March 2019 cast a shadow on the Auburn football program that I’m sure Gus Malzahn was elated about, because for the first time since he was in Jonesboro in 2012, the general public just wasn’t invested in his football program’s spring practices.
After a fall that was fraught with secret meetings, booster civil wars, and the University trying to bluff Gus into waiving his buyout, this spring has been a revelation for the program.
