First Post: Friday

Hey everyone. Last night was a late one once again. Broken record, I know. I think that was the last of the insanely late practices for a while. Auburn has moved today's practice up nearly three hours, so that's good.

Thanks to all of you who listened to my segment on Jackson, Miss., radio this morning. I'm pretty sick of doing radio, but I love being on their show. They (wisely) let guests talk on their show rather than trying to dictate tempo as many other hosts do ... or attempt to do. That's why I like 'em. I hope you do as well.

Anyway, here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

TODAY'S SCHEDULE
Auburn practices at 4:20 p.m. today, though I will not be attending. I have to pick and choose which practices I cover and, well, this one seemed less valuable than others that preceded it. So it goes. The alleged "final" fall scrimmage will be Saturday morning in the stadium. I will be on hand for that.

Here's what the next few days look like:

Fri., Aug. 21, 4:20 p.m. (partially open to media)
Sat., Aug. 22, 9:20 (SCRIMMAGE)
Sun., Aug. 23, TBA
Mon., Aug. 24, OFF
Tue., Aug. 25, TBA (partially open to media)
Wed., Aug. 26, TBA
Thu., Aug. 27, TBA (partially open to media)
Fri., Aug. 28, TBA
Sat., Aug. 29, OFF
