That sound you just heard was 30,000 Kentucky fans cursing. After much deliberation, the SEC has decided to hold the remaining quarterfinal game at noon, today; with the two semifinal games starting at 6:00-ish. That means Kentucky, should they beat Georgia, would have to play two games in one day. Adding insult to injury, the […]

We arrived in Atlanta at the Decatur Holiday Inn at about 10:30 AM. Unfortunately, our room wasn’t ready for early check-in until 12:15. This lead into a hurried routine of unload our bags, catch a quick shower, shave, and don the Auburn Elvis costume; all in an effort to make it to the Ga. Dome […]

Only a complete collapse by Alabama and Georgia’s continued post-Harrick hangover made the competition for last place interesting.

Once again, Auburn lost a close, very winnable game to a 2nd-tier SEC team (so what are we, 3rd tier?). Oh well, the evening wasn’t a total waste. My folks attended the game and were able to get me one of the Chuck Person bobblehead dolls Auburn gave away […]

Auburn’s loss sent them tumbling to last place (alongside Alabama) in the SEC West. It now appears that, barring some unlikely scenarios (most of which […]

Every year, at about this time, I start to obsess over where Auburn will end up seeded in the SEC Tournament. Obviously, we’re not going to finish high enough to get a first-round bye (the preferred seeding), so when is the best of the first round games to play in? In my opinion, the best […]

Well, dropping another game to MSU was disappointing, but expected. But you can’t blame Quan Prowell. He scored a career-high 31 points in Auburn’s loss.
If you read ESPN’s take on the game, they claim Auburn “never threatened Mississippi State in the second half” but with 15 minutes to go, Auburn had closed the lead to […]

It was the type of game the Tigers usually lose: tight up to the half; then one team goes on a run and pulls away. But today, strong 3-point shooting and surprisingly good rebounding gave Auburn the win.
So long, Coach Gottfried. it was nice kicking you around for the past few years. (Does anyone have […]
