We’re all set to start around 7 a.m. CST. Whatever you do, do not visit the live blog of the official Auburn athletic site. We have it on good authority it is actually a phishing scheme organized and masterminded by “bammers.” Also, that’s where the unclean masses will be hanging all day. This Live Blog [...]
Because we’re all hopeless addicts and we need this to give meaning to our days.
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 [...]
Monday night against Bethune-Cookman, Auburn played the best basketball game it’s played all year. And no, that’s not a lame New Year’s joke. The 67-41 win at home was truly the most complete and well-rounded game that Auburn has put together this season. Obviously the big news of the night came with Kenny Gabriel recording [...]
The Good Guys: There’s a big difference between finishing a season 8-5 and finishing it 7-6. I don’t even have to tell you what a boost the Outback Bowl victory over Northwestern at the end of 2009 was in propelling the Tigers to a national championship run in 2010. Now Auburn enters the Chick-fil-A Bowl [...]
Just when things were looking up for the Auburn basketball team in the Diamond Head Classic, the Tigers set for themselves a new series of low standards for the season against Long Beach State in the tournament semifinals. Perhaps the best part of Auburn’s victory over Hawaii in the tournament opener two nights ago was [...]
Auburn fans who stayed up late Thursday night and into early Friday morning to see their Tigers compete in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic were treated to a thrilling game and a 65-62 victory over the home standing Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. Things seemed all but lost for the Tigers when they faced [...]
The 2011-2012 Auburn basketball team has been in the national spotlight just once this young season, in an 81-59 loss to Seton Hall during the SEC/Big East Challenge on Dec. 2. For many of expat Auburn fans, the loss—Auburn’s first road test of the season and the only time the Tigers have been nationally televised [...]
The Good Guys: In a way, Saturday’s game could provide some relief to the Auburn faithful, as it brings about the conclusion of the brutal four-game stretch that they’ve been dreading since January 11. With an upset victory in Columbia, and in holding serve last week at home against Florida, Auburn has navigated it better [...]
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.
