Toomer's corner fire

its true

I've seen a picture posted by a Bama fan who thought it was hilarious to destroy a proud Sec tradition. Someone owes Auburn a godd*mn apology now!

We Gave It Up. Refs Gave It Up.

What happened, Auburn?

Whats with the squib kicks?! Just tell me what the deal with that was. Did that work once, just once?

Fourth quarter, Jacob Hester for a touchdown even though replay showed that LSU didnt have seven men on the line of scrimmage. The Refs should have reviewed that.

Again, another set of downs, 3rd and 3 and LSU back was stopped short. The refs gave them a ridiculous spot. The replay booth did not review the call. Tubby did not challenge. No red flag. What was that!

Just like last year this win is questionable at best.

How did we give up this lead? How did Borges not think to get tricky with this game. how did he not throw every thing and the kitchen sink at LSU. Use Kodi Burns to full potential as a player and a decoy. This game shows exactly what Borges has become. He is no longer the genius, the maverick. He's something else. The question mark of AU football. The Borges of old is gone. This game, the most important of the season proves it. A young star's redshirt wasted. Victory snathed out of our grasp.

And Tuberville. This guy needs to figure out how to challenge. Why, why, why did we not throw a red flag this game. River boat gambler? Wish he would remember that. But the sad part is I'm not all that surprised. That's just sad.

For the record, I love Muschamp

bosley down

Jason Bosley went down hard today and came up slow. He couldn't put any weight on an injured leg. This was a very bad injury for us to get. Very bad. Starting center in a questionable O-line. The rest of the game was spectacular but this took the wind right out of me. I hope he gets healthy and soon. This is a key loss on offensive if I'm not mistaken.

That's more like it but this is still New Mexico State we're talking about. We need more playing like this.

Well, it seems like the defense is playing like an auburn defense. I nearly forgot what an interception looked like (unless you count the ones our offense gives away) That was a rough first half though.

As for Cox, its good to see he didn't screw up too badly but honestly he owes a lot to the great field position that our defense got us. His success makes me a little uneasy because I think we'll abandon the Kodi Burns idea until Cox screws up royally again, which is a problem because this would essentially be a waste of a year for Burns.

So, Bama goes down, and it seems Lord Saban isn't an infallible Man-God. Its kinda funny though because both UGA and Bama think their Auburn game is in the bag, which will only work in our favor.

We can only go up from here even if we will lose some more games, our team on the whole will improve little by little. We have to wait for our starters to get healthy. We have to get Kodi Burns to learn more offense and make something out of his first year. We have to light a fire under the coaching staff's asses, they seem complacent with mediocraty in a year that Auburn cannot afford to be. This is what I've been most dissappointed with. Borges's playcalling has sufficiently lacked balls and Tuberville has made stubborn bone-headed decesions (He has essentially tied his career to the success of Brandon Cox now)

Oh, and that Wilhite one-handed pick? Awesome. If only our WR's could catch like that. And hey, no more booing or no more chanting Cox's name. I will admit that I like many booed him off the field that MSU game, but he was terrible and Kodi Burns played his ass off. But it does make us look like Bama fans and shouting "Brandon, Brandon" when he does well makes us look like a bunch of fair weather fans and hypocrites.
