First Post: Sunday of Week Three

Hey everyone. Thanks to Kristina and "Earl" for providing a swell tailgate spot on Saturday morning. I'm still amazed at all the tailgate technology people own and understand. Getting satellite television in a field via generator may be common, but it never ceases to amaze me.

Auburn looked very good last night. The team scored 49 and I thought they weren't all that efficient. The defense allowed 10 points during a second-quarter mess, but seemed stout throughout the first, third and fourth quarters.

Will teams with better defensive coordinators and faster players be able to undermine the Tigers' attack? I'm starving for answers to that question.

Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:
