Maybe I should thank Gene Chizik’s parents. In any event, thanks.

You stay classy, Lane Kiffin.

As advertised, it was a wild, wild Outback Bowl. There were over half-a-dozen combined turnovers, and about a gazillion big plays. The officials got into the act and called about as many official reviews as the teams called plays. But when the final gun sounded, Auburn eked out a victory in overtime. (BTW, Northwestern needs […]

In all the excitement of winning the Heisman Trophy, it’s no surprise that Alabama’s Mark Ingram forgot to thank the person most responsible for his receiving the award - former Florida Defensive Coordinator, Charlie Strong. But I’m sure once the partying ends, and Ingram gets back to his apartment in Tuscaloosa, he’ll have the chance […]

This post is in response to Bill Hancock’s article: “Playoffs hurt regular season.”
The premise of Executive Director Hancock’s article seems to be that a playoff has yet to gain a consensus, and therefore should not be adopted. His supporting reasons for this assertion use faulty logic, omissions of previous conflicting arguments, and irrelevant posturing.
First, […]

So with the stunning Alabama win, yours truly now becomes the world’s biggest Texas fan (Hook ‘Em Horns!). Hopefully, Will Muschamp won’t ignore the blueprint Auburn laid out for dismantling the Tide.
The only positive thing I can take away from tonight’s horrible, horrible SEC Championship Game is that Auburn’s coaching staff is better than Florida’s. […]

It was a hard-fought, up-and-down game, that Auburn had the opportunity to win. In the end, Bama has one more play-maker than Auburn did. Oh well, at least that player wasn’t Ingram - who tonight showed he’s about the 3rd-best running back in the state.

… and I’m in the video.

The piece gives an in-depth look at how Auburn’s using texting technology to make Jordan-Hare a more entertaining, and safer venue. At the beginning of the season, all ticket holders were made aware of a new text messaging service that fans can use to communicate with stadium officials to alert […]

If I weren’t an Auburn fan, I could objectively talk about what an exciting game that was. However, as a lifelong Auburn fan, I focus mostly on the outcome. Hopefully, in future days, I can look back and appreciate the drama of the evening. It really was a match up worthy of the Deeps South’s […]

Man, it sure looks like Auburn is their own worst enemy right now. Well, that and a murderously back end-heavy schedule. But really, who’s schedule in the SEC isn’t murderously back end-heavy? I say, if you want to be the best, you gotta beat the best (out-of-conference doesn’t count, right?).
Auburn used to be that date […]

For the first time in my life, Kentucky beat Auburn in football. Great. How historic. Actually, there was very little about Auburn’s loss that you couldn’t have seen last season - ineffective offense, overworked defense, sputtering special teams, and making an otherwise beatable opponent look BCS-worthy.
Seeing Auburn regress so thoroughly to last year’s pitiful station […]
