Introducing the Auburn AUghts, the WBE series looking back at the decade that was in Auburn Tiger football. We’re starting today with the top 15 plays of the last 10 years and will continue over the next 2-3 weeks with lists of various sizes and a couple of columns dedicated to the Auburn teams, players, [...]
Man, I wish I could tell you that the story of Auburn’s 94-78 win over Alabama St. last night was that Auburn had “bounced back” or found some “redemption” or taken a step forward in any kind of fashion from last Sunday’s debacle against Sam Houston St. … but I’m not going to be the [...]
The good people of the SEC Power Poll have gotten together to name an All-SEC team for 2009 … and since I’m one of those good people, I’m helping out with the announcements by introducing the SECPP’s All-SEC defensive line. But first, if you’re interested, you can click over to TeamSpeedKills to see the full [...]
There’s not a ton to do in Chinle, Arizona.

White is in some ways a carbon copy of Auburn’s previous frosh commitment, Woodlawn’s Chris Davis. Both are undersized–White is listed at either 5-11 or 6-0 and 185–and are [...]
Lots to discuss after the weekend, starting with … Smith ineligible. Guess the time off from practice was too little, too late: Eric Smith is missing the Outback Bowl, and can probably count himself fortunate that he’s still in good enough standing that he can come back in January. Malzahn and Chizik are being predictably [...]
For the last few weeks, I’ve made the argument that despite the home loss to Troy, the missed opportunities against ACC competition, etc., Auburn’s men’s basketball team has actually been improving. Since the early-season meltdown against Central Florida, the Tigers have added Tay Waller to the rotation, gotten great production from Frankie Sullivan, attacked the [...]
Other than the score and horrible, horrible calls, and the text message from Jennie about Brittany Murphy, it was a fun day at Beard-Eaves.
