I’ve been saving up.
- Georgia Tech’s (legal) cut blocking scheme claims another victim. Hey, NCAA, if you’re worried about player safety, maybe it’s time to take a look at that.
- “He told me, ‘I need a job, Dad.’
- No ice cream for Georgia’s offensive linemen last week.
- John Lilly’s consoling advice to Marshall Morgan after Morgan’s mother of all bad place kick attempts? “You got your worst one out of the way.”
- I am so shocked to learn that the schools and networks disagree over the value of a fourth contract bowl game.
- Good on ‘ya, Tom Osborne. And I love the timing.
- Mark Wiedmer asserts that Auburn has an “arguably more reasonable” fan base than does Tennessee. And he’s a UT beat writer.
- Auburn’s offensive coordinator advises his quarterback to move quickly this week.
- Bill Connelly’s Alabama-TAMU preview is worth a read.
Get The Picture 
Debating the level of reason you find among Auburn fans and Tennessee fans is sort of like debating the blackness of a pot and a kettle. And, speaking of pots and kettles, you can say the same thing about a large portion of the Bulldog Nation.

So Auburn actually has an offensive coordinator? Paid, or volunteer? His advice may result in Wallace hurrying his decisions even more. A freshman QB, NFL talent coming after him, wide open speed….sounds good for me after giving 15 points on the spread. Chunk it man, quick! This could be fun.

So I did OK at 16? Let 15 get away from to see it at 14 1/2 so I could buy the 1/2 point. Damned greed, I have read it was wrong but I just caint hep myself.

Wandering into the press room late yesterday, coach Bobo sees CMR’s swing-set diagram and adds it to the notebook. Look for the “swinging gate” play to debut in the 2nd half vs. Auburn.

What’s the Horror of I-75?
LikeLike
It was a joke, but if you seriously want to hear it now, I’ll post it. It was about a guy innocently wearing the shirt while running on a road near I-75, was passed by a busload of women who represented a battered women’s conference and they read his shirt as a gender comment before returning and pounding him silly. He still thinks it was a busload of Auburn players. Was going to puff it up further with his wearing the shirt backwards and facing oncoming traffic whenever he exercises now. It was further going to devolve into an introduction of our Road Warrior Fing Scooter…well you know how it goes downhill from there.
Sorry if it was taken seriously.

Cojones…I’m going to take a wild shot in the dark and guess that you are referring to Georgia Tech in 1975 when they hosed down the field to stop Georgia running back Glynn Harrison. Unfortunately, for the Jackets, Harrison was unaffected and made an 82-yard TD run to lead the Dawgs to victory.

I know I’m late here, but “reasonable fan base” in and of itself is an oxymoron, whether Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, Duke, Harvard, Oxford, etc. There’s just no such animal.

Not that it matters, I suppose, but Weidmer is a columnist, not the beat writer.
His exposure of the average Vol fan is basically the same.
Most of the Vol fans I know are so depressed they are talking the Chattanooga Symphony’s performance of Dvorak’s 6th, and how good it was, despite the band never playing Rocky Top.
