The first rule of being pals with Thom Gossom? Talk constantly about being pals with Thom Gossom… and hope he’s cool with it.
Hear Auburn’s second black football player discuss Edward Norton, getting high while feeling low in Baton Rouge, and learning that when it comes to the Auburn Family, blood is thicker than memoir (or something) in TWER’s first podcast. War Eagle.
Just because the frontman for the rockabilly, punkabilly, psychobilly, whateveryouwannacallitbilly legends was making last minute tour arrangements for a stand-in to replace his drummer who was marooned by the Nashville floods didn’t stop TWER from picking his brain about rock ‘n’ roll.
Or about Auburn. Duh.
Yeah, I’m gonna come right out and say it: Auburn’s the best team in the SEC. They’ve won five straight series, outscored the opposition in seven straight series, and are playing their best baseball right now, having gone 5-0 in their final 5 SEC games by a combined score of 61-8.
Jerry flashes his headlights at Auburn Recruiting and lives to tell about it in the second installment of a new irregularly-posted series aimed at dispelling certain wrongly-held assumptions on Auburn football.
Myth No. 3: Auburn is only recruiting at their current level because of the ravaged depth chart and the offer of immediate playing time.
Jerry dumps Malzahn’s pop-rocks into next season’s Coke and chugs the whole thing in the first installment of a new irregularly-posted series aimed at dispelling certain wrongly-held assumptions on Auburn football.

“I won’t put any more pressure than what’s already been on my back, unneeded pressure. I’m just going to continue to do what I do. That’s just lead by example. I’m not going to go outside my means, going outside my persona to do something I’m not. So I’m just going to keep doing what I do. Evidently it’s worked so far.”
“How confusing are spring games? The AUfficial photo caption calls the tackler on the left Craig Stevens even though the defender on the right is definitely Robert Hill, who even I had never heard of until I read the caption in question…”
Ben Bartley tries to reconcile the carefully orchestrated waltz of A-Day at Jordan-Hare and the free-form, oak-shaded jazz of Waverly’s Old 280 Boogie only to realize that Auburn girls in sundresses look good no matter where they are.
We already know Cameron Newton. But before he gets his big Auburn debut at A-Day tomorrow, it seems like a good time to review what we know and Google around for anything we don’t.
