As most Auburn Fans know Shon Coleman, one of our new recruits, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. One of our members here at Tigers X took it upon himself to dedicate a road march in honor of Shon. He is stationed in Kosovo on a peace keeping mission with his unit, for every 1km of his 25km hike, money donated will go to the St. Jude Foundation in Shon’s honor. To read more about this great tribute visit here:
Please donate to Shon Coleman Road March Tribute
We here at Tigers X did the design for the Shon Coleman patch, but would like to get more involved.We have designed a shirt with the same patch design and Auburn means Family on the back. The shirt will be sold exclusively in our store and all profit from the shirt will be donated to the St. Jude Foundation again in Shon’s honor. You can click on the shirt design below to take you to our store.

Auburn vs. Northwestern in the 2010 Outback Bowl
By now you already know that Auburn accepted a bid to play in Tampa on New Year’s Day in the 2010 Outback Bowl. Auburn will be going bowling again after missing last season’s festivities with its 5-7 record. Starting the season 5-0had most Auburn fans flying high. However, they were quickly brought back to earth finishing the season 2-5 and leading most fans to believe that there were definitely positives and negatives for Coach Gene Chizik’s first season. The combination of fan support and a strong showing in the Alabama game helped to convince Outback Bowl officials that Auburn was the 7-5 team they wanted.
Auburn’s opponent will be the 8-4 Northwestern Wildcats. The Wildcats come into the game riding a 3 game winning streak including wins over some pretty impressive opponents (Iowa and Wisconsin). In case you don’t know who or what Northwestern is, I present to you my cheat sheet to the Outback Bowl:

In my SEC East preview, I said that the SEC Champion and Potential BCS Champion would come from the Eastern Division (if you didn’t read part 1 or have been in a coma for the last few weeks, it’s the Florida Gators). However, from top to bottom, the tougher division will likely be the Western Division, where all 3 of the top teams have a legitimate shot at facing Florida in the SEC championship game.
Ole Miss Rebels: (7-1 SEC; 11-1 Overall)
2009 Predicted Finish
I decided to finally write for my own front page. Since I am jonesing for some football, I give you the 1st annual Godfather Previews the SEC. Who, you might be asking, is the Godfather and why should we care about his SEC preview. To answer those questions I am the Godfather (find out why in our forums) and I don’t really care whether you like my SEC preview or not. I am not however a talking head or media person, I have no insider knowledge, I am a regular guy just like you, who runs this board for fun and really enjoys College Football. So, with introductions out of the way, I shall begin.
I’ll start with the Eastern Division, where as much as it pains me to say, will contain the SEC Champion and possibly the National Champion, once again.
