It shouldn't surprise anyone when dealing with Auburn that multiple factions were running around doing their own thing. The AD appears to have zeroed in on Harsin a few days before anyone else heard his name but probably not from the beginning of the search. Other members of the committee were the ones leaking news (Notably to Philip Marshall who many of them have known for years). I absolutely think some of the boosters were all in on Steele from the beginning. Other interviews DID happen but once Christobal (sp?) signed his extension none of them seemed to go much further than hearing about the coach's plan for staff. Conflicting staff plans certainly derailed Napier so I don't think they got as far as an actual job offer with him.

Out of a group that is probably close to a million strong you can most likely find someone that believes just about anything.

Gus is more likely to be on a mural for the 2010 season than anything else. Harbert donated 40 million and got the business school named after him so that one is taken.

You truly think it’s that one sided?

You have to realize, in a bama fan's head the only reason they've ever lost was because of luck or conspiracy. The kick six wasn't luck, it was a good coaching call recognizing the kicker didn't have the leg to make one that long. I could go on. Tua was made of glass so of course he wasn't going to finish the season.

Then you must recognize that when Auburn has players that can't go because of injury it is lack of depth and poor recruiting. When Tuscaloosa players aren't available it is because of luck.

I'm really grateful that we have some football to enjoy, but you're right it doesn't feel like a real season. It is like a long procession of spring games.

I think one of the factors is defense has to play together more than offenses (All 11 have to do their thing) so are more effected by the reduced practices. Individual effort can certainly make plays on D but it is usually in pass rushes or coverage. The team factors seem to be returning experience and an existing scheme. Squads that have both are generally doing the best where those with the least are doing the worst.

Don't get me wrong, the offenses are just much better than they were years ago but I think the defensive fall off we've seen this seen isn't just because of that.

There may be a maximum number of voodoo dolls we can empower in a single season. I'm not sure but will ask the committee.

I had it really early and initially thought I was having altitude sickness (living in Central Alabama at around 70 feet above sea level). I was pretty sick for three days or so and felt off kilter for a few weeks afterwards. I'm a healthy guy 45 years old. My older sister (early 50's) got it and was extremely sick (not hospital but could barely eat, dizzy, like a really bad flu) for three weeks back in July and is still tired. My oldest nephew (23 years old in extremely good condition) was hella sick for a week or so in early August and bounced back but still sometimes gets tired. He's a sheriff's deputy and works in the jail and basically all of his coworkers have gotten it with varying symptoms.

Auburn played regular home games in Birmingham until the late 70's (From what I've heard).

As an Auburn fan I fully expected the juggernaut we saw in Columbia. I don't see how anyone else can feel different. :wah:

Their jorts really bring out the gold in their necklace.
