Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Jousting with the Paladins!

How cool a mascot is that?
Auburn vs. Furman, homecoming open thread!

     War Eagle, everybody! It's homecoming gameday in the Lovliest Village on the Plains! Today, Auburn hosts the Furman Paladins, of the Southern Conference. The game kicks off at 12:30 CDT, and is televised on pay per view. This game is also listed on the schedule on ESPN360.com, but I have a feeling it will be blacked out, in Alabama and South Carolina at the very least. Time will tell!

     Today, the Tigers hope to put the game away early, and take a look at a lot of younger players. Making his first start at safety today is sophomore Demond Washington. Washington has been Auburn's nickel back of choice this season, but has never played so much as a single snap at safety. It will be an interesting day for that young man, and we'll all be cheering him on! This is not the first time Gene Chizik has moved a corner to safety. Junior Rosegreen was a starting corner when Chizik first took over the Auburn defense in 2002, and was immediately moved. It worked out well! Having the extra set of great hands in the secondary paid dividends, and Auburn's points per game given up went steadily downward with Chizik's plan.

     As always, feel free to chime in, and get fired up for the Tigers vs. the Paladins!

Let's hope that AU scores early and often.....

and we can see wholesale substitution by the end of the first half.

Score Prediction

When I predicted the score to be 56-3, I was talking about halftime.

held them to 0 rushing

where has this D been the last few weeks. They have played great against Ole Miss and now today. I wonder what was going on earlier in the season.

Northwestern

beat Iowa. Bout time they lost one. They were playing their games dangerously close to defeat all year.

That and

the lack of replay. You’d think with all of their money UAT could have decent facilities

28 points in the second half to Furman?

Really guys? I know it’s the second string, but geez!

It was more like 3rd string defense. Woody Paramore in on the last touchdown score?
