It's not nothing

Be honest.  Would you go to AU right now? 

With airfare, renting a car, hotel-wait, you mean as a player, no one that one too.

What in the fuck does this mean? Have you ever had a brain aneurysm?

A few random thoughts from this weekend.

Clearly, Coach MalMor reigned in the offense and went more run heavy with Tank and quicker, easier passes for Nix.  I would hope they keep that same approach this Saturday with one exception.  It wasn't until late in the game that they attempted to get the ball down field.  They went to that bubble screen about 10 times too often and even a horrible D like Ole Miss put a stop to that.  They need to make a couple of throws down field off play action so LSU won't stack the box on em'. 

One positive that I will attribute to Chadkins.  We definitely have the slant in our arsenal now.  Not much else, but the slant is finally a part of Auburn football.

I have officially given up hope that anyone will step up and become a force off the edge for our defense.  Mud Kat Bryant has to be the slowest, most uninvolved player I've ever seen at Auburn.  I've talked up Derick Hall for a year and a half now, but that guy ain't much better.  Colby Wooden is probably our best D-lineman, but he's not fast off the edge either.  It's been a while.

Somebody got in Jamien Sherwood's ear after the Cock fight, because he went about his business and acted like he's been there before.  It wouldn't have hurt my feelings at all if they had kicked his classless, thug ass off after last week.  None of you are very good. Just play ball and shut the hell up.

Agree that we can't make a living running E/W against the superior LSU defenders.

I still have hope for someone on the DL to break out.  I think we're all underestimating the loss of KJ in the middle of this defense.

The defensive backfield is really, really good.  But they are pretty fucking mouthy about it, too.

Guys, you gotta give credit to Ole Miss.  They're a good ball club.  Going to surprise some folks this year.  Glad to have the win, it's a big win for our program.  We did some things well and some things not so well.  We're gonna have to take a look at film.  We're young and we have some growing pains.  The future is bright though, I can tell you that. Overall I thought everyone played a good game.  We'll get out there and practice hard and correct the mistakes that we made against a good Ole Miss ball club.  We gotta lot to learn but we're getting there.  No doubt it, the future is bright!

Awful, just awful. Team should be 0-5 if not for terrible reviews by SEC officials. We can no longer talk about the refs being in the REC tank with luck like this. Bo Nix is a C-grade QB at best. The OC is a fraud. The defensive front is SAWFT (as previously mentioned). The most special thing on the field is the RB who is about to get his tires melted like Cole Trickle before Harry Hogg taught him how to drive. Get ready for a string of embarrassing losses and a trip to Birmingham to play NC State or Pitt in late December.


What a friggin clown show.

Nice and fitting reference you put in there!

You totally forgot to say we had a great week of practice.

Yep, KJ made up for a lot of deficiencies filling the middle with True and New. I just haven't seen anyone with that first step explosion to consistently get around a tackle.  I guess for quite a few years, we were spoiled with Paul Holland, Carl Lawson, Dee Ford, Corey Lemon-ear etc.  In this past signing class, I was hoping we'd see somebody emerge.  Zykevious Walker has been getting some reps and at least looks the part.

Except that I keep thinking our safeties are gonna get burned every time I see him near the LoS.  He needs to eat a few more sammiches.

We've only had two day by this point.  Can't comment on the whole week yet you dum dum!

Well damn it, every week is a good week of practice so you know this week will be a good week of practice too.  I believe the future is bright, but we'll look at the film and see.

After 2 days of practice, we're gonna get better for the rest of the week too.  I guarantee it.

 Mud Kat Bryant has to be the slowest, most uninvolved player I've ever seen at Auburn. 

Excuse me sir....id like a word with you about the validity of that statement.

[Snaggletiger]

At least Jake got in on some "tackles".

I want to know if Swain's leg got any better?

That was one ugly injury.  I could barely watch it.


Come on, Swain.

He ran by my office window just before lunch.
