Was it the work of a sane person? No.
But it was the work of an Alabama fan. And the trees…

The Crossover: Lifelong Bama fan completes Auburn conversion at 2010 Iron Bowl

November 26, 2010 is of special significance to me. It means a lot to Auburn fans, of course, because it marks the date of “The Comeback.” But it means even more to me, and that’s not because of some big event that happened.

There are some weeks when it’s not all that fun to be writing a weekly column on Auburn football. This is one of those weeks.

The question this week is, when the good Admiral brings the Mississippi fleet out of hyperspace and they suddenly appear just outside the Auburn end zone, will Ted Roof have the defensive shield switched on or not? (It’s probably too much to ask that Gus have the Death Star’s planet-buster dish operational as well, given the state of our offense of late.)
