2010 A-U Pre-view: the SEC

2010 A-U Pre-view: the SEC

Fifth in WBE’s season preview series, a break between the offense and defense. Previously: Expectations, and the complete offense: the QBs, the RBs, the OL, and the WRs. Expect the unexpected? When it comes to picking the NCAA Tournament (as longtime JCCW/WBE readers know), if you’re going after a perfect bracket, you have to pick [...]

2010 A-U Pre-view: the WRs (and the TE)

2010 A-U Pre-view: the WRs (and the TE)

This time in 2009, what with Darvin Adams coming off of a nagging camp injury (and being just a dude who looked not-bad at A-Day), it looked like Terrell Zachery’s two career catches were going to be the only career catches for the entire on-field receiving corps against Louisiana Tech. Trooper Taylor’s pedigree (and Chris Todd’s), notwithstanding, no element of the offense was a bigger question mark than the wide receivers.

2010 Cheese Puff Previews: Ole Miss

2010 Cheese Puff Previews: Ole Miss

A week-by-week preview of Auburn’s 2010 opponents. But since you can find straightforward overviews in a half-dozen magazines and a ton of places across the web, these are a little more … disposable. Light. Cheese-puffy. Previously: Arkansas St., Mississippi St., Clemson, South Carolina, UL-Monroe, Kentucky, Arkansas, LSU. Presenting: Ole Miss! What their logo tells us [...]

Gratitude. Thanksgiving is still a couple months away, but I’m getting a head-start this year by expressing my beyond-sincere thanks that those in charge of the SEC’s 1992 expansion had the common sense God gave the humble sea urchin. You wouldn’t think “OK, we’re going to keep Auburn and Alabama, Ole Miss and LSU/Mississippi St., [...]

Notes from the Beat, 8/27

Not too many more of these posts to go–the media get shut out of practice entirely starting this weekend, so we’ll have little but the table scraps of coaching quotes to know what’s going on. But that’s OK, because the heavy lifting of camp is finished. We’ve got a backup quarterback. We’ve got a right [...]

2010 A-U Pre-view: the OL

2010 A-U Pre-view: the OL

Another year churning out five yards a carry (a 1.5 yard increase per attempt on 2008), with hopefully a few less sacks and penalties, and the Ziemba-Berry-Pugh-Isom quartet will graduate from Auburn as one of the most productive, talented, dedicated groups of linemen the Plains has ever seen.
It’s the final go-round. Make it count, guys.

Notes from the Beat, 8/26

After Tuesday’s flood of scout team- and depth chart-related information, not surprisingly Wednesday toned it back quite a bit; there’s not a whole lot new to report. But here’s what we’ve got, courtesy of Andy Bitter, Jay Tate, Andrew Gribble, and Charles Goldberg: –Most of the important tidbits we got were all injury-related. Deangelo Benton [...]
