My mother was born in Tuscaloosa and everyone in the family pulled for bammur. When I chose to attend Auburn, they literally cried "how can you do this to us??!!" One by one, it didn't take long to convert them from the dark side. Two decades and a combined seven Auburn degrees later, my immediate family members are all Auburn season ticket holders!
In my spare time (i.e., when Auburn isn't playing!), I enjoy following the Braves and more recently, NASCAR. I started listening to the Braves back when a fella out of Mobile was playing for them. Perhaps you've heard of Hank Aaron? As for NASCAR, there are several drivers I enjoy seeing do good, but only one I struggle with ... yep, the m&m brat is not welcome here.

Here's to a good game ...

When it comes to USC and Auburn, my wife and I have a mixed marriage. She has two degrees from South Carolina and I graduated from Auburn. We also live in South Carolina and have attended many USC games.
Given we only play each other every couple of years, it's been easy for both of us to be both Auburn and USC fans. When Auburn is playing, we pull for Auburn. When USC is playing, we pull for USC. It's pretty simple in our house. They're two of our three favorite teams ... me being from Auburn, y'all know I also pull for whoever is playing bammur. :)
Both of us appreciate the way the Carolina fans have handled the Newton fiasco. It's downright embarrassing. Even worse were some of the hits and body slams by Fairley. UGA brought it to light, but I first noticed it during the LSU game. It's not the way we play football at Auburn. If you read Fairley's recent comments in the press, it's pretty obvious the coaching staff has explained that to him. Base case, football is a rough sport. Tire them out, hit them hard each and every play, wear them down ... absolutely ... but there's no need to do things that could cause permanent harm.
Again, thanks for the way the USC fans have handled all this. It's been a pleasure to lurk. My pick for the game is easy ... here's to a great game Saturday, one we both can be proud of ... War Eagle and Go Cocks!

Cam Newton Named National Player of the Week

From Rivals.com ... details here. From the Rivals article ...
Against South Carolina, the SEC's top run defense going into Saturday's game, Newton rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries in a 35-27 win. He also passed for 158 yards and two TDs to earn Rivals.com National Player of the Week honors.
With the Tigers trailing 20-14 at halftime, Newton did his best work in the second half, accounting for three of his five touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters.
"He has been a great addition to our football team," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. "I think he has handled all of the circumstances really, really well with a lot of class. He was a huge reason we won the football game, let's not make any mistake about it, but there were a bunch of others out there that did it, too."
Chizik's comments could be an understatement -- Newton leads the SEC in rushing and in passing efficiency.
War Eagle!
