AUBURN — Alex Golesh was rather chipper for the first media availability of Auburn football's preseason camp because, he said, it was the "best time of the year."
Those were quite literally the first words of his Tuesday, Aug. 4, media availability, which ended with a message to the media in attendance saying, "It's football time, guys. Let's ride," as he walked out of the room.
Soon after his opening sentence, Golesh repeated the message. It's the best time of year because he gets to coach, but he added that there's "nothing else really going on other than us, the team, and our staff."
It turned out he was being quite literal, because the Tigers will kick off their first preseason under Golesh with a near-two-week stay at the Auburn Marriott Opelika Resort & Spa at Grand National, which describes itself on its website as having cabanas alongside resort-style pools. There's also the three-course (as in 54-holes) RTJ Golf Trail at Grand National right next door.
Golesh did not specify whether or not the program would be spending any time at the pool or on the links in their off days, but his explainer of the move didn't provide much optimism for anything beyond football.
