WAR EAGLE!

Arkansas State

Auburn's first opponent of the 2010 season will be a simple pushover. The chances of ASU winning are so minute that NASA will discover life on Mars first, trust me!
From the confidence of my recliner/office chair I can assure you total and complete victory in this game.
That is not a slight in any way to ASU, it's student body, or the alumni. A fact is a fact, and there is not a chance in this universe that ASU will win this game.
Still, they deserve respect and we will do just that.

No less than nine players were selected to Phil Steele's All-SBC team fron the Red Wolves. With 15 players on offense and 10 players on defense having starting experience, these guys are not going to be pushovers.
Coached by Steve Roberts the Red Wolves hired a new offensive coordinator this season who's name you might be familiar with. Coach Hugh Freeze was the high school coach of Michael Oher, yes that Michael Oher of the "Blind Side" movie fame. He also was the recruiting coordinator for Ole Miss for a couple years.
The new offensive system will be in place and ready for the season, but as Auburn people are hoping, new systems are much better the second season.
Still, this squad has character, and they will fight to the end.

Let's show the Red Wolves fans a nice time, and wish them the best of luck in the Sun Belt Conference this year. After we dispatch their upset bid early, and get some good practice in for the Freshmen and Sophomores.

With a new coach at the helm of Auburn's men's basketball, and the way Coach Chizik and his staff are doing, it looks like it's going to be a great year for Auburn Athletics. Throw in the usually reliable Lady Tiger basketball team and you have yourself a heckuva great fall and winter to look forward to.
Now if we can just get through these long hot days of summer.

Along With The Good, Comes The Bad...

We have been exploring the good side of things most of the day, but unfortunately this news is not so good.
Not that it's a shock, or really NEWS for that matter, but still I can not help but feel some sadness in seeing this kind of talent just walk away.
We wish Tyrik all the best, and pray that he finds a place to fulfill all the potential he seems to have.

Insider Info..

Just a little inside scoop here. Phil Steele is picking Auburn to finish second in the west this year and possibly heading into T-town with an 11-0 record.
Phil Steele only does football, so their preseason rankings carry a lot of weight in my book
Finally somebody is giving us some respect!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

How and why do I love Auburn University?

I never attended classes there. I never lived in Auburn. I can honestly say I have been visiting Auburn since the 1970’s. I was a fan of the football team years before then, although I truly fell in love with Auburn the first time I visited there in 1972.

I was a member of my high schools vocational agriculture land judging team. We went to Auburn to learn more about land characteristics and to compete in an event. I cannot remember who won, or if we did well.

I can however tell you that Auburn has stuck ever since. I was as enamored with those beautiful grounds as I had been with any girl until then.

I will not make any excuses my family could not afford to send me to Auburn. It’s a good thing for me in a selfish sense, because I met my wife of nearly 32 years the next year at a Technical College.

Now I have heard that to truly love a place you must attend school there, or live there. For the most part I would agree, except with Auburn. The old girl just draws her lovers close, keeps them warm and comfortable.
