The Daily Believer is your daily-ish dose of whAUtever, a dose that grows by the second, minute, hour, who knows. Maybe there’s something going on tonight at the Gnu’s Room. Maybe there’s a volleyball game. Maybe there’s some update to The War Eagle Reader you need to know about. Maybe last night’s episode of House referenced Bo. Maybe Pat Dye’s Pants have no reserve on eBay. In other words, we’re live-blogging Auburn – town, gown, idea – and we need your help. Are you putting on an event? A show? Let us know. Know about one? Let us know. Spot Chizik at Byrons? Let us know. Did you see that episode of House? Let us know.

Where exactly is the Cotton Bowl poll at on the site? I’ll be on it like clockwork.

It’s on the right side of the front page…. says ‘Action Poll.’
Oh. Well right now it’s asking which conference had the better year, SEC or Big 12. (Which, right now, is up to a hilarious 92% to 8% for SEC.)
Sad stuff about the hotel talisi. My old roommate At auburn was from tallassee. We ate there while we were at her parents house right before hurricane Ivan.
