Are all batteries the same?
That's like asking if all soccer players are the same. Take Messi, the most decorated player ever. Is there any other player who has achieved that? No, just him. Now take Duracell. Is there any other battery with power boost ingredients inside? No, just Duracell. Remember, goats only trust goats, because they're built different, and Messi only trusts Duracell.

**Paris Hilton** (1:30)
Hey babes, it's Paris Hilton. So I was checking my points balance in the Hilton honors app the other day. And yeah, I've got about a billion, which feels excessive even for me. Just kidding. You can never have too many Hilton honors points. And I want to do something iconic this summer. So I'm giving away all my Paris points. Just find somewhere you've always wanted to stay, then go to my socials or Hilton's and tell me about it. Just make sure you're a Hilton honors member and I might be sending you Paris points. Because when you want points that make your summer even hotter, it matters where you stay.

Auburn has the toughest October slate I've ever seen, Christian, but it ends on the road at Ole Miss in Oxford.

**Christian Rauh** (2:39)
I'll tell you what, that Ole Miss Rebel team might be overlooking the Auburn Tigers.

**Mike G** (2:52)
Welcome on in to The Auburn Express Powered by the War Rapport. I'm your host, Mike G. Turn us on, turn us up. We'll turn it out. I'm here with my good friend, Christian Rauh.
Auburn Sports commentator extraordinaire to talk a little Auburn football here on a Thursday morning. On today's show, we're gonna talk about media days, which is fast approaching. I will be in Tampa covering live along with Ike Jones, but we're gonna start the show continuing our series of covering going down this schedule. We've gotten all the way through LSU, and now it's time to talk about Auburn versus the Ole Miss Rebels. I'm gonna pull the schedule up here. If you're listening on audio, Auburn begins the season September 5th in Atlanta versus Baylor.
After that, they get three straight home games versus Southern Miss Florida and Vanderbilt. And in October, they go on the road at Tennessee, a bye week at Georgia, home versus LSU, and then at Ole Miss in Oxford, a lane, Kivenless Ole Miss, but they are not without Trinidad Chambliss. I think Trinidad is the best QB in the SEC this coming season. And he might be DJ Durkin's greatest challenge that he has to solve defensively. I believe in this defense. I believe in what DJ Durkin is building. I like that Auburn broke the bank to keep him. But this is where you gotta earn your money. You gotta go out and you have to slow down what looks like the unstoppable force that is Trinidad Chambliss.

**Christian Rauh** (4:30)
Yeah, I mean, 4,500 total yards last year.

**Mike G** (4:33)
Crazy.

**Christian Rauh** (4:34)
From that perspective, you know, we think how great what Byrum did, 4,000 yards, right? And Chambliss did it at the SEC level. So really impressive from what he did. He was responsible for 30 touchdowns. I agree with you. I think he is and he should be seen as the best quarterback in this conference. I know if you look at some industry rankings or some national media and poll season where we're in right now, ranking season. Some people like to say Sam Levitt. Some people like to go in a different direction with Arch Manning or so. Well, of those two, I just mentioned only one's going the SEC media days. So you take that for what you will on that conversation.
