Still no love for the 4-0 Auburn Tigers
By: Kevin Strickland
The Auburn Tigers out-punched the Ball State Cardinals 54-30 Saturday night to move to 4-0 on the season. If history is any indicator, the hot start bodes well for Tiger fortunes.
Only 27 teams in Auburn history have started a season 4-0. Eight of those occurred after 1974.
Of the eight teams in the last 35 years that started 4-0, only two failed to win at least ten games. The 1994 Tigers reeled off nine before a closing with a tie and a loss. Auburn started 2000 with five consecutive wins before fading to 4-4 down the stretch.
Two of the eight finished the season without a loss.
Only one of the eight lost more than two games.
Three of the eight won the SEC West (one other would have but was on probation).

Since Gene Chizik’s controversial hiring in December, Tiger fans have intently watched his progress, looking for signs that the malaise that plagued the program in the second half of 2008 will evaporate under his leadership.
We’ve seen him assemble a staff, meet with the media, recruit, make personnel decisions, deal with staff issues, handle disciplinary matters, and manage practices.
What we haven’t seen is how that will all translate to the field.
In five short days, Chizik will finally get the chance to show what his Auburn team can do where it counts. Everything he’s done since arriving in Auburn in December built toward this moment.
In the end, Chizik will be judged on how well his team performs, in terms of intangibles like effort and intensity, yes, but primarily on wins and losses.
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.

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.
