As I was telling my friend about what had happened he walked by and I made it obvious that I was talking about him, he told me to talk **** to his face, so I just simply repeated that you don’t wish for that to happen to anybody. I should have slammed his head into the bathroom stall moments earlier, but I thought I would be the better man and not let him ruin my night (Auburn was attempting to do this on the football field). I am glad to hear that Brad Lester is doing great and may play this weekend.
***I know that this is an isolated incident and that most, and by most I mean 99.9% of Alabama fans have class and would never say or even think what this guy said***
Chris Todd should win the Cy Young. I know on the scoreboard it looks like the offense struggled, and they did, but it wasn’t a total mess. Like Tuberville said, take away a few penalties and they did a decent job. If you take away two holding penalties Auburn would have ended up with over 400 yards of offense.
I am also wondering (after a long conversation with my dad, and yes, like last week I will reference my dad in many articles in the future, since we have numerous discussions about Auburn, as well as others) what the exact long-term game plan is at Auburn. Has Tuberville decided to simply make due with a quarterback that doesn’t make mistakes and rely heavily on the run game and the defense? I remind you that the Auburn team as a whole is young and that Kodi Burns is still an option to red-shirt (I am simply throwing this out there as food for thought, and we will have some view of this picture during the LSU game), so maybe Auburn is setting up for the future.
Alabama Terrence Cody can stop the run. As an Auburn fan, Alabama’s run defense scares me, but if Auburn can continue to play good defense and have some semblance of a passing game come November, I think Auburn will be the favorite. Alabama has absolutely no depth on offense, but the good news Bama fans, is that the second team is made up of a lot of freshmen, so they are building some.
Media double standard. I find it disturbing that Georgia continues to fall, even though they keep winning (no disrespect to USC or Oklahoma). I know they played poorly against South Carolina, but it seems to me that the media has a double standard when it comes to the SEC, they say it is the best conference, but when a top team plays a close game against a conference opponent, it isn’t good enough. What gives?
USC would have moved up in the polls had they beat my high school 35-3, simply because of the media’s crush on them, and Ohio State is almost nothing without Beanie Wells (Pryor looks to have a great future, though).
(ok, so a little disrespect to USC, but they are definitely one of the best teams out there).
It can hurt you to play on television. Case in point: Auburn not moving/falling in the polls after this weekend’s pitching dual. I know they play poorly against the bottom of the SEC, but should Alabama really have jumped them? Should they not have moved up like everyone else shifted? Auburn looked better in a 3-2 (300+ yards of offense) win than Alabama did in a 20-6 (172 yards of offense) win against Tulane (that wasn’t on TV) and Alabama moved up last week.
Being on TV gives you the exposure to the media that votes and in the end all they end up seeing is the box score for some games. I am not trying to say Alabama isn’t good (I would have them around 15th until they show me that they can in fact play consistent, remember they started off 6-1 last year), but it is the example I am closest to. If you are a writer with a vote, you should do some research for a majority of games with poll implications before you vote.
That pretty much sums up my rants for the week. Now, I guess its back to work, longing for the weekend.
