  18. Boulware needs to start having his pay docked...

    ReplyDelete
  19. I have to agree Nova. I was hoping Gulley would be the man, but there is no excuse for bobbling a fair catch when the ball comes right to you.

  20. Sullen is starting////


    holy crap he is 17 or 18

  21. Well Auburn will just win 63-7 now..

    In other news UT is losing early to Ohio

  22. Overrated teams this weekend..
    Cal, Miami, Ole Myth, and LSU IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Are we playing Ball St or the Arizona Cardinals? good grief...

    ReplyDelete
  24. Don't forget FSU and Clempson.

    ReplyDelete
  25. FAH, but not FAH enough.

    ReplyDelete
  26. This is a new strategy. We let each opponent go up by 14, then turn it on.

    ReplyDelete

    Everyone is looking vulnerable except Bama.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'll grant you FSU..but Clemson was playing a ranked team.

    ReplyDelete
  29. at least we are not overrated...


    heck we are not even rated

    I often wonder if the coaches let up in games like these to see how self motivated the team can get with prompting.

    ReplyDelete

  42. What is up with the O-LINE injury(s)?

    ReplyDelete
  43. We are not getting holes in that line

    ReplyDelete
  44. Is this all because Isom isn't playing? Come on guys.

    ReplyDelete
  45. we can't get 2 inches against Ball St?

    ReplyDelete
  46. We don't do well with rain delays. Hope we don't have any more this year.

    ReplyDelete
  47. These fellas are starting to worry me a bit.

    The poor OL can't be blamed on missing Isom. None of the OL are firing off the ball.

    The offense isn't getting that fast pace either. Everything looks out of sync.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I am quite disgusted at the moment...

    ReplyDelete
  51. My Bamer husband is too happy right now. I need Auburn to get the ball and score a TD now!

  59. Is D Adams the only person who can catch a cluch ball...

    Geez... I thought benton and blake would be in today

    ReplyDelete
  60. Good to see Trott with the TD

    ReplyDelete
  61. Anonymous7:05 PM

    Adams didn't extend his arms when he caught that pass and got away with poor fundamentals.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Lower your shoulder and run over somebody Tate! you're a big guy...




    Lookie there... Trott caught a TD.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Anonymous7:06 PM

    Attention: there has been a Tommy Trott sighting in eastern Alabama

    ReplyDelete
  64. This is pure guess, because I haven't been to them all, but it would have to be:
    1. The Swamp
    2. Tiger Stadium
    3. Neyland Stadium
    4. Sanford Stadium
    5. Us
    6. Bama

    ReplyDelete
  65. You think Neyland and Sanford are more intimidating than us? Neyland has a whole bunch of fans but I have heard (haven't been there) its not as loud as other SEC stadiums... and all the noise escapes out of Sanford thanks to the endzone being open.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Burns out for the game with injury

    ReplyDelete
  67. Who will run the wildcat?

    ReplyDelete
  68. if our special teams ever catch a clue, this team could be something serious

    ReplyDelete
  69. That was a big hit by Bates, but he still didn't wrap up and tackle him.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Burns was limping after his carry earlier...

    ReplyDelete
  71. Quentin said Kodi will not be back in the game

    ReplyDelete
  72. How serious is Kodi? We'll need him next week.

    according to commentators, i guess # 13 hawthorn is a defensive captain for us...

  74. WHY WHY WHY..
    Our Punt return sucks

    ReplyDelete
  75. DO NOT TOUCH THE BALL>... JUST LET IT ROLL WHERE EVER IT MAY

    2 fumbles- bye bye gulley...

    ReplyDelete
  78. I went to Georgia during the blackout game. That could have had something to do with it. It was intimidating. They have more seats and it is a larger stadium, but it is open as you say. I haven't been to Neyland. Hopefully I will next week.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I think Trooper needs to get his towel in the air and get us going.

    ReplyDelete
  80. So they get 2 yards from that 1st penalty

    ReplyDelete
  81. So they get 2 yards from that 1st penalty

    ReplyDelete
  83. I have to think CGM is setting Ball State up since they are over playing the run...

    ReplyDelete
  84. Quad injury for Burns...

  85. Kodi was taken to the locker room and reports say he has an injured quad

    I guess Todd is going to have to prove last week wasn't a fluke.

  87. Todd's gonna be ok. Fannin will step in those short yardage situations.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Wizner with another great block

    ReplyDelete
  89. Nice move by T-Zach

    ReplyDelete
  90. Tate looks like he is afraid to make contact, need to bring Caddy in to give him some private lessons.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Anonymous7:20 PM

    Todd's fine, I was just referring to Ball selling out to stop the run and making Todd beat them with the pass.

    ReplyDelete
  92. if wizner could catch he woudl be freddie wegan II (sp)

    ReplyDelete
  93. Wisner has proven to be a good addition due to his blocking on the perimeter.

    ReplyDelete
  94. There are a lot of empty seats, looks like most of them are the high dollar seats near the 50 yd line.

    ReplyDelete
  95. This is our back up line

  100. Parrish is not a happy camper! What set him off that time? Did he think Bynes came across early? I did.

    ReplyDelete

    Put in some backup OL and see if they want to play. The backup DL came to play.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Two runs, -8 yards. Hard times.

    ReplyDelete
  103. They have been selling out on the run and we have been running Tate outside way too much. If we run outside, give it to FAH. The offensive line looks terribly weak.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I'm confused what just happened, why aren't we starting on the 20.

    Wait nevermind penalty, we will be.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Are you freaking kidding me, give it to the kid.

  115. Uh oh...Tebow just got hurt. He's still down.

    Hope he is ok. Zoo Keeper..I'll keep you posted.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Did David Pollack's motor finally stop running?

    ReplyDelete
  117. It ain't a hold if you don't get caught.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Florida was destroying Kentucky. If they were dumb enough to leave Tebow in, then they will learn a lesson.

    ReplyDelete
  119. lets keep the defense strong fellas

    ReplyDelete
  120. I'm guessing Ben Tate is out. Left shoulder.

    ReplyDelete

    Steve..good call on FAH running outside.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Why was Tebow even still playing in that game?

    ReplyDelete
  123. B/c Meyer is a POS who runs the score up, next question.

  124. Now Tate is hurt? This is going to be a bad day for injury bugs.

    ouch- losing burns and tate vs ball st?

    ReplyDelete
  129. Man, if they are going to run their QB like that, I hope they brought some backups.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Tebow don't even know what state he is in right now.

    He got the shula knocked out of him.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Tebow has been sick ... and he's in in a 31-7 game ... Urban doesn't think well.

    That might explain Dan Mullen's brain farts.

    ReplyDelete
  132. They should get Eric Smith some significant carries in this game.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I would like to see a little less of a cushion given by our CB's...

    ReplyDelete
  134. That was a nasty hit, probably a pretty good concussion.

    For his sake hope he's alright, but wish for Meyer's sake wish he was done for the season.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Ball St is gonna get that young fella killed tonight

    ReplyDelete
  136. We just give them those underneath throws...

    ReplyDelete
  137. I never understand a school having trouble when graduating 4 offensive linemen. If you have that many seniors, you should have some backups getting significant playing time. If not, you basically screw yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Steve... we will be in that situation 2 years from now...

    ReplyDelete
  139. Geeze, I haven't seen Tebow look like this. I think he is wondering where Toto and Aunt Em are.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Great Chik-fil-a commercial!

    ReplyDelete
  141. Miller, that is what worries me and why I am hoping we sign some big uglies in this class.

    ReplyDelete
  142. It was only 31-7.

    I don't fault Coach Urban Meyers for playing Tebow in that situation.

    ReplyDelete
  143. only? up 4 scores?

    ReplyDelete
  144. But he was sick already? Had to fly up in a separate plane.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Not a good choice to throw that ball, got away with one.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Very ill-advised throw there... double coverage...

    ReplyDelete

    Wario....you've got to come back for those underthrown balls. coulda beat the defender.

  148. That was Todd's first incompletion, if I'm not mistaken.

    ReplyDelete
  149. same play as La Tech?

  157. I'm fine putting Caudle in the game now and running some backups.

    Of course, I could understand letting the starters stay out there til halftime. But, we should have the 2's or 3's out there in the second half.

    ReplyDelete
  158. I like Todd 2.0 much better than the 08 version.

    ReplyDelete
  159. I don't know who has had more big plays at Auburn, Tommy Tuberville in 10 years or Gene Chizik in 4 games. This is simply incredible.

    I'm with Steve; I cannot recall this many big plays in a while; meaning taking chances, not just breaking big runs.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Looks like we need to keep the 1st team D in a little longer.

    ReplyDelete
  164. Todd's arm is healthy. I didn't expect it to heal this quickly and this well. It's a testament to 1) Dr. James Andrews and 2) Todd's resilience and work ethic in getting back.
