The Day is Finally Here!!!

Finally, we have a game Tonight!!! Auburn vs. ULM is in only 7 hours. How exciting is that? I am pumped. I was able to wake up early and watch college gameday this morning, and I truly feel like the football season is actually here. It takes a lot to get me out of bed early on a Saturday, but if anything can do it, its college football. I'm a little late on my picks for the week, but I'm going to go ahead and do it.

Auburn vs. Louisiana-Monroe
This will be an interesting game. The big story is who will win the starting quaterback job? The big story in my mind is how will the offense look, no matter who the quaterback is. This game should be a blow out, but how bad? With the new offense put in at Auburn, depth will really come into play in the 4th quater. Depth is something Auburn has, and ULM may not. In the first half, Auburn will probably put up some quick scores, and look for the defense to do some of the same. Auburn should win this one very easily: Auburn-38 Louisiana Monroe-10

Alabama vs. Clemson
Defense, defense, defense is the key for Alabama in this one. Especially the defensive front. Can Alabama stop the run? If they can they can win this game. If they can't stop the run, it could get ugly. I believe the Tide will at least be able to slow them down, so I think this game will be very close, coming down to the 4th quater. First offensive play for Bama, may be a quick pass to Julio. That would make the crowd go crazy, but it probably won't happen. My impact player is Cullen Harper, Clemson quaterback. If Alabama has to load the box, he will throw right over the top. This is going to be a good game, but sorry bama fans: Clemson-35 Alabama-31

This is going to be a great first weekend of football. Good luck to all (except Alabama). That's all I've got for today..........................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

We only have 5 days left!!!!!

Finally, the week is here!!! Game week!!!! There is actually a college football game this week. You read it right, THIS WEEK! Auburn football starts in 5 days and around 20 hours!! That feels awesome to say. I have been waiting since January 1st to say that Auburn plays a game this week!!! So, first victim of the year...................UL-Monroe. That's right, the same team that upset Alabama just last season. Do not underestimate them! While, yes, I don't see any way that the Tigers will lose against them, but we can't look at them and say there is no way. The only thing still in question is who will be the starting Quarterback? And the answer is......................No one knows. Not even OC Tony Franklin. According to him, both qbs will play in the opener. Which one will start is still in the works. That's all I've got for now...........................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!

Finally Something to Talk About!!!

After a long summer with mostly nothing to discuss, something has finally come out..........The AP preseason college football poll. It looks very good for the SEC, with 4 teams in the top 10. One of which is the Auburn Tigers! Although this poll doesn't mean much, it does put teams in better or worse positions for the end of the year (i.e. Auburn 2004). The polls top 10 looks good with Georgia getting its first preseason #1 ever in their history. They are joined in the top 5 by Ohio St, USC, Oklahoma, and Florida. Then, after that comes Missouri, LSU, West Virginia, Clemson, and Auburn. Most of the preseason magazines had Auburn a few spots lower than 10. There last preseason Top 10 was just 2 years ago when they started out the season ranked #4 in the AP. After Auburn, there isn't another SEC team until Tennessee at #18. Then at #24, Alabama makes their first appearance in the preseason polls since the year 2000. Let's give them a round of applause! Does that count as another national championship? Sorry Bama fans, but not this time. I know you fans aren't used to being in the preseason polls, but 24 is at the bottom of the top 25, not the top of it. That's all I've got for today..........WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
