The Auburn Elvis Blog

If ever there was a time I considered online sports gambling, this is it. Apparently, folks who’s (or is it whom’s?) jobs depend on predicting college football believe Georgia is about 2 touchdowns better than Auburn. I mean after all, Georgia ’s beaten… Florida (so did Auburn), Mississippi State (so did Auburn), and Tennessee […]

Things started great, then looked crappy, then looked great, then got even better. A visit from Ole Miss is just what the doctor order.
And how sweet was that catch by Lutzenkirchen? RELEASE THE KIRCHEN, indeed.

Mallory Rubin & Stewart Mandel have deigned to answer another Auburn Elvis question:
Dear Mallory & [Stewart],
There’s no doubt LSU’s Brad Wing is one of, if not, THE best punter(s) in college football. It’s also a shame that his incredible fake-punt-touchdown was called back, but wasn’t his taunting exactly what the rule was intended to punish? […]

The first loss is always the hardest because that’s when the dream of an undefeated season dies (Although, it’s strange to have not felt this way for so long). It was tough watching […]

Much has been made of this photo:

But look at the yard line. It’s clear from the yard line that the camera’s perspective isn’t lined up with the ball. Therefore, it’s possible the ball was over the first down marker, even though the photo shows daylight. Here’s an illustration explaining how the above photo is probably […]

Last week, I posted this sweet picture of a terrified Mark Richt preparing for Boise State:

I now realize how wrong it was and made the appropriate corrections:

So, Georgia fans, I hope we’re all good.

UPDATE: Here’s the animated version:

I really, really, really, hope Utah State has a great season. Otherwise, yesterday’s narrow escape will look worse and worse. Oh yeah. to all the reporters trotting out the “they sure miss Cam Newton” line: well, I don’t seem to recall Cam making ANY tackles for a loss last year. Seems like Auburn’s porous run-defense […]
