Sean, I’m also saving material for next week … but [SPOILER] I agree with you about the pace. Remember: it’s what the last team that beat Alabama did.

I know it’s a little early to start breaking down the Iron Bowl and I really respect Acid Reign’s opinion, but I don’t see how Auburn wins if they don’t attempt to make the game an absolute track meet. Yeah I understand the defense will be gassed, but the defense is going to be gassed anyway. The Georgia game convinced me that Auburn has to be up a minimum of 10 or 14 points by the 4th quarter or we are done.

To me, the only way Auburn wins is if they are efficient on offense, thus keeping the defense off the field, and score enough to force Alabama out of the pounding running game and hey maybe that is what Acid is saying. Sorry Acid, I would comment over at TET, but the trolling is a little unbearable.

I would also say that creating a few turnovers on defense would help as that seems to be a common theme to all of Auburn’s wins this year.

Sully, I LOL’d.

Justin … whoa. Dude. No. 2? Whoa. That’s about all I can say.

(And just for the record, UL-Monroe’s Sun Belt rather than I-AA … but they’re LIKE a I-AA team, so no harm, no foul.)

Re: “….the task is much taller for Chizik now than it was for Saban….”

That’s OK. Chizik *IS* much taller than Saban.

The bathroom thing:
Those fans are ignorant. Players and coaches used to hold up towels for cover while players deuced it up in a bucket on the sidelines.
It happens all the time.

Big difference between Saban and Chizik in first year?
Chizik will not have lost to a 1-AA team at the end of his first year.

My take on the bathroom thing:

We’re the thinnest team on defense in the conference. Our offense’s scoring drives last less than 3 minutes on average. We can’t afford to have players running to the locker room.
