Thoughts Week 11 – Aww f@#$ It!

Lee Corso cursing on live TV somehow exemplify's Auburn's Season this year.

Lee Corso set the tone.

Auburn…

- Auburn hasn’t played this season.  I didn’t go to any games, so I can’t be sure that what I’ve seen on TV wasn’t some fancy PIXAR presentation.

- I saw Auburn play four games last year.  I know Cam Newton exists.  Whether or not he’s a cyborg is a different topic.

- Because Auburn isn’t playing this season, the Iron Bowl must not be happening next week.

College Football…

- Robert Griffin III is the best player in college football.  Baylor?  BAYLOR?  I mean, come on.  We talkin’ bout Baylor.  Baylor.

- Trent Richardson is going to win the Heisman.

- Alabama is going to have the easiest path to the BCSCG.

- LSU may or may not beat Arkansas and Georgia.

Thoughts Week …Whatever!

I think Georgia just scored again...

Auburn…

- You really think this is excusable?  You think this is acceptable?  You think Georgia just beat us?

- Georgia didn’t just beat us.  I told a friend of mine that it’s wrong to say the final was 45-7.  That wasn’t the final score.  This game was over with 9 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.  It was over.  We were done.

- You say we have youth issues?  Offensive linemen don’t have experience?  Georgia has played the 2nd most true freshmen in the SEC, and they’re headed to the SEC championship game.

- You say our defense is still getting their footing?  Obvious fundamentals and techniques not taught.  Just not there.  Commentators rarely make salient points about the actual game, but they were sure quick to point out some of the flaws in our defensive play – not scheme.

27 Days Tennessee Preseason Preview

“I don’t have a theory other than to say I’ve been watching SEC football all of my life, as you guys know, and everything goes in cycles, it always does. Programs have their great runs. Programs have their bumps along the way. I don’t think that’s ever going to change. I mean, that’s the competitive nature of our sport.

“So certainly the east looked a little different last year than it has in the past. But we’ll see how it turns out this year,” – Derek Dooley at SEC Media Days.

Derek Dooley has quickly become a coach known for his quirky explanations and odd analogies; however, most are reluctant to label him as a buffoon or a new, younger version of Les Miles.

Dooley proved himself in the realm of intelligence by obtaining his law degree, passing the bar, and working as a successful lawyer before making a drastic career change.

Ten Most Important SEC Games

10.  Miss St @ Auburn 9/10

Miss State wants to say hello to the world.  Auburn wants the world to take its new team seriously.  This is also the opening conference game for the SEC West.

9.  LSU @ Miss St 9/15

Thursday night on national TV.  LSU plays three meaningless out of conference games including a trip to Dallas to face a top 10 Oregon team and a trip to Morgantown to play West Virginia.  Smudged in between these games is an important SEC battle against Miss State.  If Miss St beats Auburn, it could make a serious explosion in the SEC if they beat LSU just five days later.  LSU can’t get caught focusing on their tough nonconference slate and lose to a hungry Bulldog team.

8.  Auburn @ Arkansas 10/8
