First post: Wednesday of Week Five

Hey everyone. Thanks for tolerating yesterdat our new BFF ikarl67. He apparently is a bitter Iowa fan who is disgusted with me ranking the Hawkeyes at 22 in the most recent AP poll.

I kept telling him to email me and not subject himself to HOTTIE beat-downs. He eventually listened. Thanks to all for keeping it civil, though I had no idea you could be so creative with corn allusions.

Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

TODAY'S SCHEDULE
I generally don't go to Auburn on Wednesday, but this one is different. I'm interested to hear what Trooper Taylor has to say about returning to Knoxville. You know he's good for a tale or two.

So I'll be summarizing what assistant coaches have to say after practice. That should be a gas.

Here's what the next few days look like. All times are CDT:

Wed., Sept. 30, 4:30 p.m. (Assistant coaches available afterward)
Thu., Oct. 1, 4:30 p.m. (Tiger Talk at 7 p.m.)
