First Post: Thursday of Week Five

Hey everyone. Are you aware that Iowa fans believe their team should be ranked higher than No. 22? Oh, you aren't? Well, I guess you need to read the HIBOTN more often.

First day of October is upon us. I like warm weather. This is the time of year I dream of living in Belize and covering Auburn via closed-circuit television and satellite phone. Daytime highs below 80 are considered cold in my world. So it goes.

I thought the Craig Sanders switch was intriguing. I'm sure you felt the same way. Auburn now challenges Alabama for in-state kids. I'm sure you're intrigued by that as well.

Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

My goal is to do a Tiger Talk/ESPN doubleheader here. We have a soccer game tonight and, since I missed dinner with the girls last night, I really should hang out with them a bit. That may or may not happen. We'll definitely have a Campfire®, I just can't say for certain when it will begin.
