Unknown said...: The big news this morning: Earthquake in DC, magnitude 3.6. I slept through it. Unfortunately, the Capital and the White House are both unaffected.; 4:36 AM
Unknown said...: In other news: It's HOT!!; 5:24 AM
Unknown said...: OK, we sucked last year. The biggest problem was depth on defense. The offense had to change to try to give them some relief. I expect the defense to be deeper and moderately improved while the offense will be faster and get more snaps/game.

Hopefully, Cam will make a difference in those 3rd and 4th down stats.; 5:27 AM
E-Bro said...: What happened happened.

Time to stop looking back and start looking forward. New season starts in less than two months.; 5:42 AM
CHB said...: Good morning all.

WTC, thanks for all of the horrible stats. That just goes to show how good we could have been last year with just minor improvements. The D was bad but there were some reasons for it. They will be much better this year. They won't be a top 10 D but will be much improved. You can't underestimate what having more talent and more players can do for you. It doesn't always help in the game but it's all in the practice time. The special teams will also be much better. Because we have more numbers we can actually put starters on special teams instead of walk ons. As for the offensive struggles on 3rd and 4th downs I think that will improve with better play calling and a very mobile QB.; 6:51 AM
Norm said...: Morning peeps.

WTC nice research. Well, nice that you did it, not that the #'s themselves were nice.; 6:55 AM
E-Bro said...: So I a guy I work with is a big South Carolina friend. He asked me what nicknames Hotties had for his school and others in the SEC to jokingly refer to?

Told him USCe was popular for the Gamecocks. Corndogs for LSU. What others we have?; 7:11 AM
WarEagleRK said...: WTC dropping the stats on us. We have to be far more efficient this year.

Hard to believe we are less than 2 months away.; 7:13 AM
ehyou said...: ebro...
Let your co-worker know we'll give them a nickname the next time they're relevant.; 7:39 AM
ehyou said...: Kentucky rushed for 282 on us? That's gross. No wonder I erased that one from my memory.; 7:42 AM
mytommyd said...: Personally I don't think we sucked at all last year. But its my opinion that any year that you come out with a winning record, and don't score all the points in a 3-2 game precludes us from sucking. Although the UK and LSU games were not good; 7:49 AM
mytommyd said...: Although evidently we ran the ball for 220 on UK and 174 on LSU. but sub 100 yd passing will not get you wins in the SEC. Oh and allowing the other team to have their way doesn't help either.; 7:53 AM
E-Bro said...: mtd...so in agreement. We could've done some things better, but we were probably about as good as we could be. We won some games we could have lost and lost some games we could have won. So it goes.

New year.; 7:58 AM
Norm said...: NOT scoring 5 points in a contest resulting in a 3 - 2 score is a pretty decent indicator.; 8:02 AM
WarEagleRK said...: The KY and LSU games were complete offensive disasters last year. I think total for the 2 games we had around 125 yards passing. I think the LSU game we had under 50 yards passing.; 8:03 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Maybe I'm the one who is off, but I don't see why everyone is so worried about the Miss State game.; 8:05 AM
mytommyd said...: Catching up on comments and just took a look at our 2004 schedyule, cause I'm in a little bit of a checking mood, and for those of you that don't remember here's who we played:

31-0 v.La-Monroe (5-6 record)
43-14 v Miss State (3-8)
10-9 v LSU (9-3)
33-3 v Citadel
34-10 v UT (10-3)
52-7 v La Tech (6-6)
38-20 v Arkansas (5-6)
42-10 v UK (2-9)
35-14 v Ole Miss (4-7)
24-6 v Georgia (10-2)
21-13 v Alabama (6-6)
38-28 v UT again
16-13 v Va Tech (10-3); 8:08 AM
mytommyd said...: UK we passed for 95, LSU we passed for 81 and 34 yds of that were Caudle's 3 completions

Yeah the offense was definitely not working those two games.

I feel a lot better that we have at least something to back up Cam if he is not able to perform.; 8:11 AM
WarEagleRK said...: mtd,

Maybe it was just Todd who didn't have 150 total for those two games.; 8:17 AM
mytommyd said...: RK isn't the deal with MSU because of how well they finished, and how many folks they're bringing back?

My opinion, its still MSU and its still USCe. I'm gonna wait on the hype machine after the Ole Miss debacle where we found out, yeah its still Houston Nutt coarching.; 8:17 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Just on paper, I'd say this years schedule is tougher than the 2004 schedule.; 8:18 AM
E-Bro said...: RK...

-Starting a new QB with little experience in a hostile environment, and they'll be even more hostile given some of Cam's connections to the school (and his Dad's comments)

-Outside of the Bama game, State was extremely tough at home last year.

-Dixon is a big loss for them, but their offense will be more settled a year in to the process. They also have some potential playmakers at WR and I expect Mullen to weave some magic to make that offense operate at at least a decent level. Their defense will probably still be suspect, but improved.

-I think Mullen's a pretty sharp guy and he'll have his team absolutely ready to play and that fanbase will be as amped as it has been in while with a bowl game being a realistic expectation.

Basically, I just don't expect anything to come that easily early on with a new starting QB playing against a decent team. Not saying we still aren't favorites, but I think it's gonna be a tough, tough game.; 8:18 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I know the MSU game is a road Thursday game, but if we are the team we think we are, Dan Mullen or not it's still Miss State.

If we can't go in there and win, then it's going to be a long year.; 8:19 AM
mytommyd said...: You're right RK, a total of 127 for the TWO games. Not good.; 8:19 AM
mytommyd said...: So E-bro you're saying the problem is going to be those damned cowbells then aren't ya?!; 8:21 AM
E-Bro said...: RK...maybe that's the problem. I'm not as convinced as others that we are who we think we are.

I'm still shooting for the 8-4, 9-3 range. Either way, I think I'd still expect a tough game, though.; 8:26 AM
E-Bro said...: mtd...I'll be traveling to the game with a friend of mine who's a State fan. He'll be bringing his cowbell.

Oh boy!; 8:27 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I actually think the Miss State game comes at a good time. It gets the 1st road game out of the way early, it's a short week, but it follows a game that shouldn't be much of a challenge and gives us extra time to prepare for a Clemson team that will be significantly different from last years team.

I'm sure State could prove me wrong.; 8:27 AM
WarEagleRK said...: E-bro,

As you know I'm not convinced either until I see offensive consistency, however I'm also of the mind set that State is State until proven otherwise.; 8:29 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Hey peeps.

I'm going to have a double dose of substance today.

I'll have another Five I'm Watching after physical therapy (11:30ish a.M. CDT) and another one this afternoon.

See you then!; 8:44 AM
mytommyd said...: DOUBLE SUBSTANCE FRIDAY WOO HOO!!!!!; 8:48 AM
mytommyd said...: That's two, two substance's in one.; 8:48 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Just looking at MLB stats, who would have ever thought that Gabe Gross would only be a part time player with a lifetime .242 average after 7 seasons?; 8:53 AM
chip chip said...: alright! chris humphries and davis hooper breakdowns today!!!!; 9:00 AM
wtc said...: RK-I am with you. Miss St. does not concern me. I think if AU is what many of us think they are, we win this game by 2+ TDs. Maybe 3.

St. still has a QB issue. No one has stepped up. they will be switching out like last year. We all know how that doesn't work.; 9:05 AM
ehyou said...: If you like Auburn and Swamp Thing (and who doesn't?) this is a pretty interesting read.; 9:09 AM
mytommyd said...: great link ehyou!!; 9:15 AM
Norm said...: Well, I don't care about Swamp Thing, but I do love me some AU and Heather Locklear.; 9:27 AM
E-Bro said...: State's QB situation isn't any more unsettled than it was last year. Tyson Lee's graduation wasn't the biggest loss for that program. Mullen's team played well at home last year.

They destroyed Ole Myth. Should have beaten LSU. Shot themselves in the foot against Houston and Ga. Tech, and gave Florida all they wanted.

I hope y'all are right, but I just don't see it, or rather, like I said, I'm not a believer in the 10-1, 11-0 heading into the IB hype being fed by some.; 9:29 AM
michael said...: E-Bro, if you hate Auburn, just say so and git out!; 9:37 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I'm not a believer in the 11-0/10-1 going into the Iron Bowl, but I am a believer in if we have any offensive consistency we should be 6-0 heading into the Arkansas game.; 9:40 AM
E-Bro said...: michael...don't ask me about my business.; 9:42 AM
E-Bro said...: RK...I agree. I'm not saying that I don't expect us to win. I just don't see a 2 or 3 TD victory in Starkville. It's hard for me to see us coasting to that W.; 9:43 AM
CHB said...: I just watched the video that SFC posted yesterday. I got the chills and then I tackled a co-worker.; 9:52 AM
michael said...: I think we get two our of three between Miss St, Clemson, and South Carolina.; 9:53 AM
Anonymous said...: Swamp Thing to Heather: I can't give you the love you deserve, I'm a plant.

Heather: That's not a problem ..I'm a vegetarian!!!; 9:59 AM
mytommyd said...: I'll take that Michale. And it'd be be great to at least split wins at that UK-Arky-LSU-Ole Miss stretch, too.; 10:04 AM
mytommyd said...: That reminds me of a joke I got just this morning Hoopie. From my uncle. I can't post it here.; 10:05 AM
CHB said...: I will not be happy if we lose to Clempson, MSU or USC. We should take all three of those.; 10:08 AM
Norm said...: Hey, I ran across a couple of pretty funny jokes yesterday in my Inbox. I'm not going to post them, but you'd like them.; 10:08 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: huge thanks to Drew at BuyMore IT office for getting my internet access back for me.

I predict 8-4 season record. But I don't really know what it will be.

What do I know? I know AU wins in T-Town this year.; 10:08 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: T minus 50 days til kickoff!

GO TIGERS!!!

WARRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!; 10:10 AM
CHB said...: 8-4 will be a bit of a downer but would be understandable. I think 9-3 is a real possibility and what I am shooting for. We have a chance to be better but unlikely.; 10:24 AM
Unknown said...: E-Bro has it right with regard to MSU. They came very close to upsetting several teams last season and simply destroyed Ole Nutt.

We were fortunate last season and played them early. They improved significantly, while we started off great and then slumped mid season.

I have read a couple of articles that said MSU would contend for the SEC West. Yea, that sounds crazy to me too. But if we beat MSU, Clempson, and South Carolina, we will have a very good team. All three will likely be decent teams this season. We are unlikely to start as well as we did last season because we are replacing a starting QB and RB.; 10:28 AM
Unknown said...: No way is this years schedule as tough as 2004. LSU, Georgia, and UT were all at the top of their game in 2004. Our out of conference schedule is certainly tougher, but overall we play a much easier schedule this season. Bama is the only team that comes close to being as good as LSU, Georgia, and UT in 2004.; 10:39 AM
Unknown said...: I am guessing we go 9-3, but until we find out if we have a starting QB and RB, who knows?; 10:40 AM
Baldy said...: Regarding Clemson's QB situation, does anybody know offhand when their qb has to decide whether he's going to play pro baseball or qb his final year? His choice should play a big role in how effective their offense will be, at least early in the season.; 10:42 AM
Unknown said...: I haven't read when the Clempson QB had to decide. I did read something about how the baseball team he signed with was willing to let him play football, but I am not certain about that.; 10:54 AM
chip chip said...: i am never happy with a split of anything with arky-om-msu-usce etc. if AU is any good that is a 4-0 record with subs playing in the 4th. i don't think chizco is shooting for mediocrity. if so, start the new search now and have the new guy ready to bring in at season's end. the only teams that should consistently give AU trouble are the corndogs & turds and uf & ut when we play them-and also depends on where.; 10:55 AM
chip chip said...: does swamp thing have any eligibility left? i'm sure dr. arcane is a corndog so AU should have a good shot at getting his commitment. i'm thinking dt or de...; 10:57 AM
Unknown said...: Arkansas has been consistently on our level.

South Carolina hasn't been, but the Ole Ball Cocks may have their best team under Spurrier this season.; 10:57 AM
CHB said...: Arky has not consistently been on our level. Yes they play us tough but overall they are not at our level.; 11:03 AM
CHB said...: Anyone who thinks they have been is degrading Auburn.; 11:04 AM
chip chip said...: we beat the turds 6 in a row. arky goes in the can against bammer no matter how good they are and always seems to play over their skis the week of AU.; 11:07 AM
API said...: The rest of the conference isn't taking the season off just because Auburn is on the upswing. Favored; probably. Stone cold lock; no.

If we can't beat Miss St. we probably won't have much of a season. I seem to recall a 6 - 0 Auburn teaming heading to Starkvegus and having our head handed to us on a biting cold and windy Saturday. Miss St. is very capable of beating us. We look past them at our own peril; 11:08 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Unfortunately we've played down to Arkansas' level a lot of times over the years in our games against them.

Shocker Steve and I would disagree, but he just ran through about 5 posts in a row that I don't agree with.; 11:08 AM
mytommyd said...: You're all a bunch of idiots.
I'm going to lunch.; 11:11 AM
Unknown said...: This just in. Craig Stevens is the 4th most integral player on this Auburn team. I am not sure I agree with that.; 11:12 AM
CHB said...: API, I wouldn't say anyone is looking past MSU but I should would be pissed if we lost that game.; 11:12 AM
Norm said...: I concur.

About something, but I'm not telling you what it is.; 11:14 AM
chip chip said...: time for a spencer region sighting. $aban is apparently no longer returning his calls and he has named wisconson his new leader. when asked about how some bammers have reacted to him during the recruiting process, the last part before you have pay for the garbage ends with the "all i can say is..." part. someone finished it for him.

"Regarding the Alabama fans, all I can say is ... I was at a family reunion the other week and my cousin was so hot in the dress she had on. I asked her out and we really hit it off. She doesn't have all her teeth because her ex-husband wasn't that nice a guy. Her two kids are really sweet. I have a lot of respect for her having dealt will all that and still being a senior in high school. I'm sure she'll graduate the second time around. I'm sure most Alabama fans will be able to relate to my situation and why it has been so confusing. So many in Cullman have reassured me they know what I'm going through. They've let me know I always have a job digging holes or at the landfill if the football thing doesn't work out. They've been great."

does he still have an AU offer? last i heard he does. he wouldn't be as easy to beat up for being an a** as deron furr; 11:15 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Comments messed up?

NOOOO. Never happens here.; 11:17 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Rodney Scott arrested.

Odd turnaround.; 11:17 AM
WarEagleRK said...: The SEC looks to be deeper and more competitive than it was in 2004. The lower level teams are more talented and dangerous than they were in 2004 and we aren't near the same level we were in 2004.

This years schedule on paper is tougher top to bottom. It's more grueling and we aren't as deep as 2004.; 11:18 AM
CHB said...: Its unfortunate how the walmartians treat a kid that doesn't choose to go to their school. You never heard anything like that about the RB from Auburn that chose the dark side. Most everyone wished him well. It cracks me up how great they are in their own minds yet everyone else in the country has zero respect for them.; 11:18 AM
chip chip said...: dude apparently has skills. i just hope he finds a good place for himself. he needs to disappear for the rest of the recruiting process and just let things play out. every interview he does seems to add to the circus.; 11:18 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I wonder if the police checked the keys of the other dude for paint.; 11:21 AM
Unknown said...: Hmmm, can't really say I blame Rodney Scott on that one. Isn't there something in the constitution that says you have the right to kick butt if someone keys your car? If not, there should be.; 11:23 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Vasha Hunt of OA News has a couple of real nice photos in her slide show of the new Auburn Arena.; 11:29 AM
WarEagleRK said...: So anyone glad we didn't get Butch Davis as our coach now?; 11:32 AM
chip chip said...: i saw that yesterday. the penalty for keying someone's car should be pay for the repairs and the option of 30 days in jail or 30 seconds for the injured party with a sledgehammer and the offender's car.; 11:32 AM
Unknown said...: That sounds very reasonable, chip chip.; 11:33 AM
chip chip said...: that quote was from an AU pay site poking fun at him. the post has now been deleted and rightfully so. still funny.; 11:34 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: if he actually saw the other fellow do it, then there should be no charges against him for apprehending a criminal. If he's just "pretty sure" the other guy did it, then he may be in a little trouble.; 11:35 AM
chip chip said...: i'm all about equality. except when it comes to AU football.; 11:35 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: hey 2.0; 11:51 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: or was that a rare sighting of LGGB?; 11:52 AM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: it was me.... your wife is kind enough to give me the opportunity to wash the dishes. yay for me!; 11:55 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: you crack me up with that "your wife" stuff. Hotties are going to thing she must be your stepmother.; 11:57 AM
Norm said...: 2.0 - if you'd like an opportunity for grass cutting, I'll give you said opportunity.

Really, that generous offer on my part applies to each and every one of you.; 11:59 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: New thread UPZ.; 12:11 PM
mytommyd said...: re Vasha Hunt slide show: y'all now have me looking for the word "vic'try". Why do I have a feeling someone's going to take that and run with it, to make light of an Auburn Education?; 12:22 PM
mytommyd said...: like clock work baby; 12:23 PM
