Auburn wins 17-10 over Alabama

Here is the first video I have seen after the win. The video about the state trooper dog biting Auburn's Powers is making the rounds too.

Next Hand

Six in a row for Auburn over Alabama... Way to go Auburn! Fight on you Orange and Blue. What a sloppy game like most rivalry games, but the right team won.

5 hours until game time

I bet that the Auburn campus is energized. 5 hours until kickoff... The trash talk is louder than ever from the Bama side. I think that they may be desperate particularly after the losses to MSU and ULM. If Auburn will just run the ball down the throat of Bama, then I think that they have a good chance to win. If Auburn puts the ball in the hands of Brandon Cox, then I won't be as confident.

But first - we go to a friend's house to root with them for Florida against Florida State. The big games start at 5 PM ET tonight. I would like to watch USC (that is South Carolina here) vs. Clemson but it is at the wrong time - maybe during commercials I will get a peek.

War Eagle! Go Tigers!!!

Football Loss is a Catastrophe

I think that someone or a group of the Bama Nation is taking a loss at a football game a bit too seriously... But, it is being written off as part of the emotion leading up to the Iron Bowl. Along with his "what it is it is" comment re: whether DJ Hall was suspended the whole game or just a half game, he isn't going to get any PR jobs. But, I think that he is trying the Coach Bellichek path of speaking. From Coach Nick Saban of the University of Alabama on the loss to University Louisiana-Monroe:

Changes in history usually occur after some kind of catastrophic event. It may be 9-11, which sort of changed the spirit of America relative to catastrophic events. Pearl Harbor kind of got us ready for World War II, and that was a catastrophic event.

Iron Bowl Song

I have been poking around YouTube this afternoon. I found the 1989 Alabama Auburn game and I almost cried pointing out to my son where I was sitting.

While listening to this song that my wife said was "pretty catchy", my daughter started singing along with "Roll Tide." It hurt me to write that. She is close to being sent to her bed without dinner. That phrase is not allowed in this house until after the game is over in 5 days.

Iron Bowl 2007 is coming

The trash talking is at a fever pitch and made a lot more even since Alabama lost to La. Monroe (I don't even know where that school is). Before, it was all about Saban winning and Tubberville should leave town and go to Texas A&M; now the tone has changed . Comments like: Shula beat ULM 41-7 and Saban couldn't win. Starting to sound a bit nervous...

Looking for things to keep me excited over here away from the talk in SC, I came across this inspirational video on YouTube. Enjoy...

I came across this blog in Blogs of Note. I think that they are or will be a hit...
