Gene Chizik leads 'em out!
2010 Outback Bowl open thread!
War Eagle, everybody! And Happy New Year! This morning, we'll kick it off with the very FIRST football game of the new year! The Auburn Tigers take on the Northwestern Wildcats, in what might be an offensive shootout! It's time to fire up the coffee pot, knock back some orange juice, and shake off those New Year's Eve cobwebs!
Checking the Tampa weather, it's currently 65 degrees and cloudy, here just shy of 9:00 AM Eastern time. Forecast calls for a 90% of about a half inch of rain. It should be windy with a few thunderstorms. The temp will fall all day, ending in the 50s. Sounds like a soggy day.
As always, feel free to chime in and sound off! We'll be here all morning, watching with great interest! War Eagle!

Good Morning Acid..
The weather could be a factor for NU, but hopefully, Auburn will not be bothered with it. They did play in the rain for the first half of the season, and went 5-0.
My fingers are crossed.
What are your thoughts about Cam Newton signing with our Tigers.
"An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject"-Thomas Jefferson
Unbelievable!
…..This kid has decent mechanics throwing, and he’s a LOAD running the ball. If he keeps his head on straight, he starts, and is probably a huge star. I hate it for Neil Caudle, but Newton has to play.
…..Caudle’s not a bad backup, if we can keep him. I can see him transferring somewhere, maybe UNA, if he doesn’t win the starting job. Terry Bowden is looking for a QB for the Lions, this year. He signed 22 former D-I players this past season, and took ’em to the playoffs.
What's this?
……We seem to be back to the 1980s, with white shoes?

I'm not so sure...
I don’t like messing with uniforms, shoes etc. during the season. But maybe just maybe, these shoes are better than the other ones from Under Armour.

Fitzgerald was shown.. ON espn
as one of the Overacheiving coaches this year by Desmon Howard.
Once again the media leaves Auburn off the list, because of their love affair with Tubberville.
"An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject"-Thomas Jefferson
what
AU didn’t overachieve. this was a below than average season for us. Gene didn’t overachieve but Im liking him with all these big name guys coming to our program. i would want tubbs back if A) there wasnt so much trouble in our old coaching staff, and B) Chizik wasnt recruiting so well.
Coach Chiz brought a fractured team and fan base back from the dead.
If that is not overachieving then I don’t know what is. Also his staff is a recruiting machine. Hats off to Gene Chizick.

Predictably,
…..the Gameday folks are scratching their heads on why Auburn is the favorite, with a 3-5 conference record.
That Tebow in the NFL
…..piece was interesting. They harp on his throwing motion, but I don’t think that’s necessarily going to stop Tebow. The same thing was said of Steve Young when he came out of college, and look how that turned out! Dan Marino threw off his back foot frequently. Bernie Kosar made an NFL career out of throwing side-arm. If I’m an NFL general manager, I grab Tebow in the first round if he’s still available.
Good morning and War Eagle!
I too was shocked that the Gameday folks were having a hard time believing that the Tigers were favored. Not knocking the Wildcats, because it will be a tough game. But I think that the Tigers can kick ass and take names!
by Tiger on the mountain on Jan 1, 2010 9:48 AM CST reply actions
That'll bring up 1st and 15
….at the 25. Same play, Tate around the corner! To the pylon, just short!
The PAT...
…..Byrum is up and good! With 12:25 left in the 1st quarter, Auburn leads, 7-0! WAR EAGLE!
Touchdown!
Looking good so far but time will tell. Hopefully we keep up the pressure.
Dominant...
…..line play, so far. On the big 3rd down conversion, the Wildcats sent seven, and didn’t get to Todd.
We had to score twice...
Video of Tate’s run show he never stepped out of bounds.
WAR EAGLE!
"An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject"-Thomas Jefferson
Northwestern from their own 25
…..Empty backfield. 4 man front. Quick hitter to Markshausen for 7, hit immediately.
hot damn!
chizik + company finally ash-canned the black socks.
where in the hell did the black socks come from anyway?
hope the change back is permanent. good riddance to those horrid black socks.
Doesn't look like they have much of a running game so far
Thats good

……at the 32. Kafka dumps it to Dunsmore, Thorpe hits him for no gain!
Great play by Neiko Thorpe

He's been beat several times...
this year, but his tackling has really improved
"An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject"-Thomas Jefferson
I second that on...
…..the Auburn Network. When Auburn’s at home, it’s on time. On the road, you’re a play behind. I’m having to make do with TV sound.
I definitely sense a pro Northwestern bent here though

Possession play for the Wildcats,
…..on 4th and 1. Shotgun set. Rolls, fires to Stewart at the 26. First down.

1st and 10 at the 25.
……Todd lines ’em up in the empty backfield. MOtion in, Todd dumps to Fannin, picks up about 5.
We really needed to keep the ball a little bit

Missed block

We need to ge a push up the middle somehow
On what day did the Lord create Bear Bryant and couldn't he have rested on that day too?
On the last pass, we had...
…..a tackle/end twist going on, and Coleman fell down with a clear lane to Kafka up the middle.
End of the 1st quarter...
…….Auburn leads, 14-7. Wildcats are driving. Auburn only had the ball for a couple of minutes.
WOW!...
what a fun filled first quarter

AU net work says Au 9 plays

Why is he still in? He’s obviously hurt. He needs to rest it for the remainder of the game.

Kafka may be good between the 20's
But he is killing them in the red zone. That isn’t exactly NFL type play, despite all the gushing by Griese and co.
On what day did the Lord create Bear Bryant and couldn't he have rested on that day too?
That throw...
…..did have a good chance. It hit the receiver’s hands, and Bell just made a great play on that one.
I think that's a bit of an exaggeration by the ESPN guys, honestly
I’ve been writing about Northwestern and Wisconsin all season… When Kafka is on, he can have insane numbers, but during the season he’s been prone to turnovers at very bad times. Usually, though, he fumbles after getting hit during a run.
I’d say Darryl Clark is the best in the Big 10, and Kirk Cousins and Scott Tolzien have been more consistent than Kafka. When Joey Elliot and Ricky Stanzi are on, they are also pretty good.
Apparently
he’s playing unusually bad. Said, what?, 7 picks all season?
I'd like....
…..to see some more of Ben Tate, in the second half. We can’t let Kafka and that offense have 20 more minutes of possession!
Wow, i’m glad they just showed that commercial of us beating Penn State, cause they’ve shown the one of us chocking to Wisconsin over and over.
Yeah,
Ben Tate is determined to win this game.
Well that's what you get
For driving alllll the way down the field twice and then turning it over in the end zone.
McFadden..
Has set a new Auburn , and a new Outback Bowl record with his interception return for a TD

I’d have to go out to Portillos to get one. And it’s cold here. We have snow outside.
Snow!
……The weather teased us with it here in the Tragic City, but instead we got a few sprinkles and 39 degrees. Right now, the sun is out and we’re at 43, in Birmingham. I hope it stays there, when the game is over and I have to go out and pick up all the paper and fireworks debris.
Good half overall
I like the “bend but don’t break” performance by the d. With our up tempo style, that’s exactly what we need. Tate is looking like a bull….he needs more carries IMO, especially with NU’s up tempo. We’re not a clock chewing team, but running helps.

I'm proud of our secondary.
……This time last year, Washington and Bates weren’t even college football players.
Kodi

3rd and 15
…..Northwestern with a 4 man rush. Todd has a man! It’s Adams, and it’s overthrown incomplete.
Clinton Durst in...
…..and he’s going to UNLOAD, and it’s fair caught at the 15. High kick, but not terribly long.
NU goes to work.
…..Kafka drops, and heaves another into coverage, Thorpe has it goes through his hands.
I'm not sure...
…..that Kafka isn’t rattled. I’d have never expected the throws into coverage. He’s pressing a bit.
I have to agree....
It sure is great to be an AUBURN TIGER!

better nip these celebration penalties in the bud. Soon.
3rd and 10
….Empty backfield. Kafka changing his play. Takes, and flushed. hit at the line, and muscles out of bounds for 4.
Going empty
…..Kafka will fires on the slant, Stewart has it for the 1st down. Thorpe on the coverage and the tackle.
3rd and 10
….Kafka will meercat to the sideline. Takes the snap, and rifles it to Ebert, RACKED by McFadden!
Kafka will line 'em up.
…..1 back. Man coverage. Both safeties up. They drop, dumped to Markshausen, first and goal.
we still need..
an offensive drive to eat the rest of the clock

It's gonna take somebody gettin their back broken
for them to do someting about linemen pushing the ball carrier into the endzone.

Whatever happens

Great job again Acid
WAR EAGLE!

The slot guy moved, that should have been a 5 yard penalty on NW
look at the replay…number 11…oh well
It's a shame we have a dog in this hunt...
because it’s a damn good game and we can’t enjoy it!

I can't believe what I'm seeing
"An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject"-Thomas Jefferson
Wow...
Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I mean seriously guys? WTF?
Kafka will have another chance
…..He’s going trips left. Auburn in prevent. Kafka finds Brewer to the 40.
I'd rather be Northwestern
The D is absolutely exhausted.
I’m still mad about the facemask call on Fairley. He didn’t make the tackle with the mask, his hand just glanced off it.
Once the QB's head turned...
It was a no brainer for the ref

they think we batted the ball
after it was fumbled.

He did bat the ball
But was it really a catch? If it was, was he down before the loose ball?

At some point you no longer deserve to win the game
Auburn’s reached that point.
The kicker hopped forward twice..
I really beleive that was a bad call.
I hate it for Demos though

Chizik didn't even come straight off the field
He was looking for a penalty flag
Great game Hilary!
Northwestern should hang their heads high! They are a great team!

I can't even muster any hate or dislike for Auburn
that game was so amazing… NU just couldn’t overcome their mistakes but man… man
I'd argue lucky and unlucky
Tate doesn’t fumble it never gets to this point.
Both teams were lucky and unlucky
Both probably feel they should have won by 14 points
You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France?
There were a few weird calls,
but this was a way better job on the officiating than we are used to in the SEC.
To hmlee and Rotojeff...
……Thanks for stopping by! Y’all are a class act, and I appreciate your comments.
Absolutely!
Thanks for watching with us… Acid, another great job and a great season. You are the best!

Nothing at the end was a poor call in my book
You don’t grab the facemask and you don’t touch the kicker. The kicker thing is coaching as much as anything.
HE ROLLED INTO THE KICKER……he went down…..and the kicker came into him. That is a 5 yarder at the most.
He rolled right into the kicker and didn't have to
He takes a better angle he never comes close to him.
I agree
But it should have been running into the kicker, not roughing. The contact was similar to a play earlier in the game (I think first half) where our punter was run into, and nothing was called. Should have been two 5-yarders.

Congrats
Helluva game, weird game, but good win Auburn. Congrats.
They called it on 17, but it was
actually Thorpe. He deliberately swatted the ball away from Markshausen after the apparent fumble.
Wasn't Bynes
Was Thorpe. got numbers mixed up. He swiped the ball away from the WR so he couldn’t recover it and apparently thats illegal
why the hell is that illegal? Do you just let him pick it up? And that is nothing compared to what the KNOW happens on the bottom of the pile after a fumble. Do you think that they are flailing like crazy in there?

As an aside
How does the 1st year of the Chizik ere rate?
Two hard-fighting,
young teams. It was a coin flip there in overtime. Mistakes made on both sides, and a happy ending for the Tigers. I’m drained!
The craziest
wildest, poorest officated, amazing game ive seen.

The SEC NEEDED
…..this win. UT took it on the chin last night, and LSU is mucking around in Orlando. Penn State is brutalizing them. The SEC could be 2-3 heading into the Sugar Bowl tonight.
I figure Bama will win the title game, but I have no confidence in Arkansas. They are 2-7 in bowl games since joining the SEC. Ye Olde Ball Coach is 1-2 at South Carolina, too.
It's been a great day...
……and a hearty thanks for everyone who contributed on this thread. Now, I’ve got to go clean up fireworks debris from last night out of the yard. I’ll try to have grades up before the night is through. War Eagle, everybody, and kudos to Northwestern. Amazing game!
still a very entertaining game
yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

could care less about the SEC needing this win... who cares.
this was for AUBURN. this was about winning because… AU deserved W #8, we were more balanced than NU, made less mistakes… some unluck, and then we got a few breaks in the end… but damn, this game had its shifts and wild bounces… war damn eagle. a great pace to the game all morning that made for a VERY entertaining and a heart racing contest. i haven’t drank so rigorously so early in a long time. a great W…great competition and effort from both sides. this was all about AUBURN and a great W for the orange and blue. what great momentum heading into 2010…
