Thoughts – Week 11

By: THS

You never accept losing.  You never proclaim moral victories.  You never make excuses.  You always take responsibility for your performance.

Auburn…

- But we’re going to break the rules.  I just can’t get upset with this team right now.  I did that enough after the LSU game.  Our guys have busted their butts all year.  It’s been a hell of a fight to turn the program back around.  I wish I could go on another diatribe about Chizik’s future, but this rollercoaster of a season has silenced any opinions.  Think about what we HAVE accomplished:

Armchair Analysis: O-Line

armchair-quarterbackBy: Harvey Birdman

To listen to OL Coach, Jeff Grimes, one would think the depth problems that seemingly have a stranglehold on the 09′ Tigers, is alive and well with this unit.  That could very well be from the standpoint of finding suitable backups to the apparent #1′s across the front.  However, from a sheer numbers perspective, this unit appears to be in a little better shape than some.  Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately from our opponent’s view, the caliber of this year’s O-line is judged by many based on the debacle that was the 2008 Auburn Football Tigers.  Not much seems to be expected from this bunch, but keep in mind a couple of key differences when gauging expectations.  The first is a new staff and obvious change from what had become the dreaded Nall-ball.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Taint is Officially Called

Taint: The In Between Meat

Taint: The In Between Meat

by: AWK

The first ever calling of the taint has occurred.  I woke up this morning and walked outside wearing no pants, and coincidentally the weather was surprisingly cool…on my taint.  The air smelled of freshly cut grass and it reminded me of football season.  My taint began to tingle.  I decided to take a drive down a country road and think about things, with no pants of course.  The drive was taintastic and I knew the football season was right around the corner.   So in honor of Chris Todd, Nick Saban, Brett Favre, and all things taint, I now officially call the taint.  For those of you that don’t know, this means that football season has arrived.  So, for traditions sake, walk around with no pants on today…treat your taint to the open road…or just punch your significant other in the taint.  Remember guys, War Damn Eagle, and O N E Taint at a Time. You might wonder just what the taint is, and how it affects humanity….feel free to inquire and ask the taint master himself AWK in our forums.

A better comparison?

By: Chizad

When Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel had the audacity to compare Urban Meyer to Bear Bryant Almighty, it ruffled Paul Finebaum’s feathers. He found it his civic duty to write not  one, but two articles obsessing over how blasphemous and sacrilegious it was to make such a claim. He then used it as an opportunity to drive the inane conversations of the inbred callers on his show for weeks, who were of course equally outraged.

I’m taking a page from Finebaum’s book. I too am going to take an article that I have recently read in which the author compares a head coach of whom I’m not a fan with a beloved figure, and obsess over how ridiculously stupid I think the comparison is.

Ray Melick recently compared Nick Saban to Batman.
