Give Tuberville what he's asking for, pay Muschamp what he's worth, and keep Borges in place. AU will have the talent and depth next year to be near equal to the 2004 team and the last thing we should want is another offensive scheme to be installed with a huge learning curve. On another note I look forward to a great QB battle next spring between Caudle and Burns and maybe even Field though it would be a little surprising to see him win the position.

.....Look what Borges had to work with, this year. Three freshman starters on the o-line. Three of the top five tailbacks out to start, and one of the remaining two turned out to be a fumbler.

.....QB concerns me, as it looks like there's a whole lot of settling down of Kodi Burns, that needs to happen. I agree that the LAST thing the kid needs, is to have to learn a new system!

.....On the other hand, consider what we might could do IF Borges leaves. They could bring in Guz Malzhan, and Burns would be back with a familiar offense. Imagine the Wildcat formation with Burns, Fannin, and Lester... On the other hand, Tuberville would never sign off on a wide-open attack, I don't think.

.....Next year's QB is a concern, and a big one. It's hard to win in the SEC with a rookie. But, the biggest concern, to me, is at fullback. We've got no experience coming back, there. If Tub wants to keep pounding the ball, we've got a huge hole to fill in the next 9 months! If we can develop Chris Slaughter and Tim Hawthorne, we'll be dangerous at wide receiver, next year. I'd make all of those guys, Smith, Billings, Dunn, Hawthorne and Slaughter work a couple of hours a day with the ball cannon. We can't have the drops, next year! Same for the tight ends! The starting o-line seems to come back intact, bigger and stronger.

.....We should be loaded in the front seven, on defense. At corner, though, there is worry. Jeraud "dog-bite" Powers returns, but who else? MacFadden? To me, Powers is more of a boundary corner. We need a field-side guy who can fly, and play the ball. Gotta find some folks to cover speedy SEC wide-receivers. Luckily, we lose Florida/Harvin/Tebow off the schedule, and pick up Tennessee, who'll be breaking in a new quarterback.

.....The Peach Bowl vs. Clemson is good for me. I could go, but I'd imagine that finding a ticket is going to be tough. Both schools are less than 3 hours from Atlanta, and travel well.

I'll go in for a little Peach Bowl action, especially Clempzin, who skated by OBC Saturday night.

Hey--a little off the subject here:  WTF with attack dogs at the game?  What moron had that idea?  I'v never seen attck dogs at any game before.  Has anyone else? This is Auburn, not Auschwitz.  There's no need for dogs to be there, especially when they can come back and bite you in the butt (or hand).

I'm sending Jay Gogue an email asking for an explanation.
