Title: Do you take Sugar? One lump or two?

Auburn-Oklahoma will kick off at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 2 -- that's a Monday -- in the Superdome.

Oh, and of course there is this:
Sugar Bowl berth triggers big contract bonus for Gus Malzahn

Why do I feel an extraordinary sense of meh?

I completely agree with you as well as your statements in another thread about the season and sugar bowl.

This trip is for the players...not the coaches, well perhaps the defensive coaches.  Gus doesn't deserve it.  Rhett doesn't either. 

Yeah...yeah...it's the Sugar Bowl, whatever.  The 2016 version isn't the same Sugar Bowl as our previous trips.  We are an Outback Bowl caliber team.  The SEC imploded didn't follow the blue print.

Anyway...War Damn Eagle.  Fuck chokelohma.

Wonder if any of them get a $200K kick up for being in that game?

Feel the same. In one sense, the defense is a good match up against that offense. BUT, not knowing what cockamamie shit we might put on the field for offense gives me pause to think we might get run out of New Orleans the way Jackson did the British.

I am actually looking forward to it. Ten years from now, if we win, it will be another Sugar bowl win.

Can't Woody play in the bowl game and keep his redshirt?

Easy there, Sigmund. I base my impression on what I have seen on the field from the team and the coaches this year. You seem to base your impression on what you think will happen if this and that.

There was a time when the Sugar Bowl meant something but that time is not 2016.

Actually, it means first or second in the SEC. The SEC is still ranked first top to bottom among conferences. So that is a good thing.

Just because some are not happy with the product on the field at times....The Sugar Bowl is still a better bowl than most.

I'll obviously watch. As will you. I would watch if it were the Weedeater Bowl.

But I'm most disappoint in the offensive coaching. Our inability to evaluate and develop QB talent.

This isn't intended to be a knock on White. I like the kid.  I think he's a decent QB that could be really good, with the right coaching.

We need the extra practice for next year, regardless of who is playing QB. But, I really hope it's White, in order for us to have a shot at another win.

I love Auburn, not just Auburn football.  Right now, I don't like Auburn football very much.  Aside from the Alabama problem, there has been an identity problem at AU for a while. 

I knew what we were going to get with Tuberville.  From Cobb to Leard to Campbell to Cox... We didnt' always have a Heisman Trophy candidate but the position was well coached. 

We didn't have games where we got zero first downs or looked like a blind walrus humping a frying pan.

There's a level of offensive impotence with this team (and others in Gus' past) that I've never seen in my entire history of watching Auburn football.  It's disheartening.  When that shit starts, I don't even want to watch it.  It hurts my brain and eyes and heart.

Auburn under Gus is like dating a woman who is alcoholic and bipolar. 

One day everything is great and wonderful.  You're the best guy ever, sex is fantastic, everybody's happy. 

Next day she's crying because you left without putting the toilet seat down and she's into her second bottle of pity wine at 6 pm. After she's good and smashed,  she crawls on you to attempt a sexual act but fumbles around, can't get it started, is sort of turning you off and ends up sliding into to sleep. 

You never know which one you're going to get and there's no rhyme or reason for either.

Sexual fantasies about Gus. Interesting.

Was he enrolled early?

Oh how I would love to see this. Talk about an unprepared OU defense.

Can we get one of the resident attorneys to decipher this?

Quote
14.2.4 Hardship Waiver. A student-athlete may be granted an additional year of competition by the conference or the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement for reasons of “hardship.” Hardship is defined as an incapacity resulting from an injury or illness that has occurred under all of the following conditions: (Revised:
8/8/02, 11/1/07 effective 8/1/08)

(a) The incapacitating injury or illness occurs in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition at any two-year or four-year collegiate institutions or occurs after the first day of classes in the student-athlete’s senior
year in high school; (Revised: 1/10/92 effective 8/1/92, 11/01/01, 8/8/02)

(b) The injury or illness occurs prior to the first competition of the second half of the playing season that
concludes with the NCAA championship in that sport (see Bylaw 14.2.4.3.4) and results in incapacity to compete for the remainder of that playing season; (Revised: 1/14/97 effective 8/1/97, 4/26/01 effective 8/1/01,
4/3/02, 4/24/08)

(c) In team sports, the injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three contests or dates of competition (whichever is applicable to that sport) or 30 percent (whichever number is greater) of the institution’s scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in his or her sport. Only
scheduled or completed competition (including exempted events but excluding scrimmages and exhibition contests identified as such in the legislation) against outside participants during the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship, or, if so designated, during the official NCAA championship playing season in that sport (e.g., spring baseball, fall soccer), shall be countable under this limitation in calculating both the number of contests or dates of competition in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition during that season in the sport. Dates of competition that are exempted (e.g., alumni contests, foreign team in U.S.) from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition shall count toward the number of contests or dates in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in the season, except for scrimmages and exhibition contests that are specifically identified as such in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regulations. Scrimmages and exhibition contests that are
not exempted from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition may be excluded from the calculation only if they are identified as such in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season
regulations; and (Revised: 1/10/92, 1/14/97 effective 8/1/97, 4/26/01 effective 8/1/01, 3/10/04, 5/11/05, 8/4/05,
4/26/07 applicable to student-athletes who initially enrolled full time in a collegiate institution on or after 8/1/03,
9/18/07, 4/24/08)

Have there been changes to these rules?

Quote

Allowing redshirts to play might pump life into the bowl season.

If it were up to Kill, who is a member of the NCAA football rules committee, coaches could turn loose their redshirts this time of year.

"You'd like to have it happen, I can tell you that, because it makes a lot of sense, because there's a lot of people going to bowl games all beat up," Kill told reporters.

He said NCAA coaches have discussed the issue, but legislation could take awhile.

So, we're left to fantasize.

"I've never even thought about it," said Ron Brown, who has spent a quarter-century as a Nebraska assistant coach.

He paused.

"Yeah, it would add a little life to the bowl game," he said.

But would the plan be fair to veteran players? Say Valentine were eligible to play. Would that mean a senior would have to step aside in his final college game?
