First Post: Friday of Week One

Hey everyone. Thursday was a fun one. We held two Campfires®, tying a record for one day, and discussed a whole bunch of stuff.

Big ups to all the people who carried both chats. There were several of you all. I'll forget someone, so I'll just stick with the blanket thank-you. I hope Chatroll.com gets its stuff together before next week. Otherwise, we may have to find a new clubhouse.

It's Friday. One day to Auburn football. I'm happy to soon have something to write about. You're happy to soon have something substantive to discuss. It's a win-win, so to speak.

Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

TODAY'S SCHEDULE
Auburn is off. The team will be shuttling out to Lanett this afternoon for their traditional trip out of town. Gotta get away from campus distractions, they have told me. Distractions generally don't bother me. Since Chizik said he can't multitask, though, I guess he likes it better this way.

Here's what the next few days look like:

Fri., Sept. 4, OFF
Sat., Sept. 5, vs. Louisiana Tech, 6 p.m. CDT
Sun., Sept. 6, 6 p.m.
Mon., Sept. 7, OFF
Tue., Sept. 8, 4:30 p.m. (Chizik presser at 11:30 a.m. CDT)
Wed., Sept. 9, 4:30 p.m. (Wifey's birthday; Beatles Rock Band is released)
