Was There a Football Game this Weekend?

Well things went pretty much like most thought it would this weekend. Thanks to all who voted in our poll. I picked against conventional wisdom. I should've learned my lesson from others. When the Braves streak of division titles was rolling along- alot of sportswriters finally vowed to not bet against them until they lost. I guess until something goes different then I should just go with the flow. I'm sitting here listening to James Taylor tunes about to get ready for work. This is truly the calm after the storm. A quick note here. There is a rumor out and about that Auburn has contacted Texas Tech's Offensive Coordinator. It would be an excellent choice and would drastically improve our passing game. I ponder if the timing of an O. C. change might not be atleast partially related to the wide receivers that Auburn has the potential to recruit this year. Ofcourse this is all speculation and it may be that we stick with Al- I would lean towards this being his last on the plains. I think Tubs sees the need for a few changes in the offense. Anyways I must go get ready. Peace, Love, And War Eagle!

The Iron Bowl is over, Bragging rights remain in their rightful place,
Six was near, now it's here.
Seven will be Heaven,
Saban will be continue to act as Satan.
And we Still continue to Rule the Day-(Errr. I mean decade, NO- I mean quarter century)

No Need to FEAR, SIX Is HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have waited year for this day. I have talked about last years Iron Bowl win for a year now, and now I can talk for another. I woke up this morning around 10 and watched the last hour of College Gameday. Corso went with Auburn and Herbstreit went with Alabama. It is always good to have one on the other side so you can say that he was proved wrong when it is over. The Game, on the other hand, was a great one. The game started out with Auburn stopping Alabama on 3 and out. Auburn took over on the 35 yard line, and took the ball 65 yards for a Touchdown to make the score 7-0. The game was then a defensive battle. After both teams exchanged a couple of possessions, Auburn got the ball and took it down the field. They kicked a field goal to make it 10-0. That was the score at the end of the 1st quater. Alabama was driving at the end of the 1st, and ended up taking it in for a score. Alabama pulled within 3, with the score 10-7 at the half. Auburn took their opening drive of the 2nd half down to the 26, but Byrum missed a 43 yard field goal. Going into the 4th quater Auburn had Alabama pinned deep in their own territory. Once again, the teams exchanged punts. With 8:48 to go in the game, Auburn took over with great field position, on the Alabama 44. They scored on a Brandon Cox sneak up the middle. The score was 17-7 with 3:58 remaining. Alabama put together a pretty good drive, and came away with a 49 yard field goal to make the score 17-10. Alabama decided to go with the onside kick, but it was recovered by Auburn with 2:02 to go in the game. Auburn then ran the ball a few times and got a first down, which was enough to run out the clock and claim the sixth Iron Bowl victory in a row.

Tonights victory makes 5 years, to the day, since the streak started on Nov. 24, 2002. It feels great to have #6 in the bag. The game was great, and I enjoyed it very much. Six is sweet, but seven will be 7 times sweeter. Untill then, all I can do is brag about 6. That's not so bad, I'll take it. lol. All we can do is wait untill Iron Bowl 73 kicks off in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 29, 2008 when Auburn will look to continue the streak. From right now, the OFFICIAL countdown is: 1 year 3 days 22 hours and 35 min till gameday. Untill then, WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
