Auburn, We Have a Georgia Problem
How did it happen? When did it get away? While basking in the glow of seven wins in nine years over Alabama, the Georgia rivalry has become a horror show for the Auburn football program. With Saturday's humiliating beat down in Athens, Auburn has now lost five of its last six games to its second...
Blake Hopes for Big Day Against Georgia
More than once this year I've wondered what Auburn's offense may have been like if Darvin Adams hadn't made the serious mistake of declaring early for the NFL draft. Cam Newton and Nick Fairley were a foregone conclusion. Adams' move was reminiscent of Ronney Daniels back in 2000. It was plain...
The Gift That Keeps on Giving
I remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting in a hotel in Atlanta on a cold December day, the news hit me like a case of malaria. Auburn had settled on Iowa State's Gene Chizik as its new coach. It was official: Auburn was circling the drain of college football. On December 13, 2008, I wrote, "To...
Thoughts on a Weekend of College Football
There's not much left to say that hasn't already been said about Saturday's whipping at LSU. The margin of defeat was surprising, but so to was the way Auburn played in the first half.

Auburn is not the only one trying to make a statement in Baton Rouge this weekend. For senior linebacker Eltoro Freeman (Sr. LB), it's a chance to get back on track. He hopes to build on last week's performance against Florida where he got his first start of the season. It's safe to say this year...

Don't Count Out This Auburn Team
Before winning his first national championship in 1982, legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno said the worst thing that could happen to a program was to win a national title. "Once you win a championship, your fans are never happy again," said Paterno. "Until you win another one, every year is a...
The Journey of Kiehl Frazier
Auburn reserve quarterback Kiehl Frazier (Fr. QB) has heard the stories about the intensity of the Iron Bowl. He understands that for a season to be truly successful, Auburn must prevail when the schedule hits Amen's Corner. That being said, forgive the freshman if he puts Saturday's game at...
Saturday’s Win In Columbia Changes Everything For Auburn
Auburn's win at South Carolina won't be remembered as a classic. Few plays will show up on the season highlight reel. When you get right down to it, things were plain ugly most of the day. None of that matters. What draws us to college football are the players - the people. For a team that had been...
