Monday Musings: Bowl Practice Edition
Auburn returns to the practice field today in preparation for its New Year's Eve matchup with Virginia. Something tells me more time will be spent on 2012 than the Cavaliers. Not since Auburn's last visit to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in 2007 have there been so many questions surrounding the team during...
Changes Ahead for Auburn
From the start things never felt right. Not since the lowly days of the Doug Barfield era has a lead up to the Iron Bowl felt so hopeless. As ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit noted on air Saturday morning, there were few believers among the Auburn faithful. Of course, it didn't take Danny Sheridan to tell...
Time to Give Thanks...
It's hard to believe another Thanksgiving is upon us. One thing I've learned as I've aged is that time moves faster. This is my sixth year doing the annual Thanksgiving column. It started as a tribute to former Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Furman Bisher. Since I was a child, I've raced...
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...
Paterno Should Go Now
Talk about a strange week of college football. As is typical these days, most of the headlines involve things happening away from the football field. We should all be accustomed to it by now. The Auburn-Georgia game has literally been pushed to page three of the sports section. Here are my...
The Best Week of the Year: Auburn vs. Georgia
The best week of the year is here. It's Auburn-Georgia. Sure the Iron Bowl is a million times more important, but when the football gods invented the sport, they had to be thinking about a cool fall afternoon in north Georgia where two like-programs try to get the best of the other. For Auburn...
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...
Trovon Reed Could Be Key To Victory Over Ole Miss
The key to tomorrow night's matchup between Auburn and Ole Miss will be quarterback Clint Moseley's ability to get the ball downfield, something that's been an elusive goal over the past month. Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said on Tuesday that his primary mission is stopping Auburn's running...
Auburn Basketball Sets Sights Higher
It's all about baby steps for Tony Barbee in his second year as Auburn basketball coach. At least that's what the SEC media believes. On Monday, Auburn was picked to finish 10th in the SEC this upcoming season. That's two spots higher than a year ago when the Tigers were picked dead last. Before...
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. In the long run, a lot of lessons will come from this game. From the start, it was clear that LSU had the better...
