Ed. note: When the most prolific and articulate Auburn blogger on the internet takes his talents to CBS Sports and his 9 to 5 to a new baby, it’s going to leave a void—not only for The War Eagle Reader, but for the Auburn internet entire. “Asked and Answered” is our new, quickfire attempt to [...]

I believe Auburn has a chance to win Saturday’s game in Baton Rouge.
Not a great chance. Not even a good chance. It’s barely a puncher’s chance, since the Auburn offense isn’t capable of doing much punching these days, likely even less against LSU’s band of merry defensive monsters in Death Valley. But a chance. I believe it’s there.

First, an apology; the A-U Pre-view did not get done. Sorry. The remaining planned posts were one profiling the defense (obviously), and one wrapping up the series with a game-by-game review of the schedule and a final prediction for the season. I hated not getting to them, but I was hopeful the Utah State game [...]

Part 3 of 5, I promise you. Previously: the offense, the Season of What is Possible Last year, it was cool knowing that thanks to the SEC’s ascension to the throne of skulls, Golden Flake bags, and discarded JoePa spectacles from which it rules as the sport’s 700-pound gorilla, Auburn was always going  to play [...]

Part 2 of now-I’m-thinking-4 or 5. Hopefully. Previously: The season of what is possible. The past two preseasons I’ve devoted an entire post to each unit of the new Auburn team, but — as the old saying goes — time, day jobs, and 11-month-olds make fools of us all. So for 2011, I’m doing just two–one [...]

Part 1 of 3. Probably. The smartest thing yet written about the Gene Chizik era of Auburn football wasn’t penned by one of the Tiger beat writers, newspaper or paysite. It wasn’t written by a national pundit descending to opine on the surprising fight shown in the 2009 team, or the endless bounty of wonders [...]

So here I was last week, minding my own business, just sittin’ around, drinking coffee, reading MGoBlog and wondering what the hell Al Borges is going to do with a run-first-run-second weapon like Denard Robinson, la de da, when all of a sudden WHAM! there’s this … Does I-form pro-style help you win in ways [...]

So the Great Russell Wilson Craze of the Summer of 2011 is behind us, Auburn fans, with Wilson deciding he’d rather put his two-sport-honed athleticism and mobility to use by handing off 35 times a game and standing firmly in the pocket for his dozen weekly passing attempts. But I’m not bitter. No, really, honestly, [...]

Let’s piece together the events of this afternoon, shall we? 1. Harvey Updyke, a man so shrewd he admitted to (virtually) the entire state on live radio he had committed the crime which now threatens to put him behind bars for years, pulls into this gas station. He claims that as he exits his car, [...]

Even if I’d tried, I couldn’t have kept count of how many times I said “I can’t believe it” between, say, going down 21-7 to Georgia and Byrum’s kick. (The most recent one, I should specify, it being Wes Byrum and all.) We go up two scores on the Dawgs to win the most competitive [...]
