Eventide, the gentle rustling of the leaves, the birds seeking there nests, oh my happy valley, Auburn, so far away.
Brief ramblings from the giant side of Texas. I checked the Toomer’s Corner Webcam (not to be confused with the I’m-assuming-Fay-Wracked-Finger-Print-Cam) and it’s morning in Auburn. 6:30 am. In Lubbock, it’s still night. Or it’s still [...]

Warhawk doing some wartalk (sorta)
By J.M. Comer
I bring this up in a desperate attempt to generate pre-game controversy.
From yesterday’s edition of the The News Star:
ULM football players might be underdogs to Auburn this weekend, but they aren’t awestruck.
“We’ve all got scholarships,” free safety Greg James said during ULM’s game-week news conference today. “I could have been there, but I’m [...]

Ladies and Gentlmen, Tommy Tuberville…
I leave in a week. Thankfully, I got to see Tuberville again, third year in a row - Kiwanis Club at the country club, free lunch, clinking glasses, lots of men named Tom, I mean, Toms everywhere, thanks Dad.
For instance, former Auburn player and letterman club bigwig Tom Bryan.
“Coach asked Suzanne, ‘honey, in your wildest [...]

Season Preview Game One: Roadtripping the possible impossibility of losing to La-Monroe
Monroe, LA - It was an impromptu reconnaissance mission. It turned into a thought experiment.
It was too dark to stop in Monroe on my way out to Lubbock (I went to find a place to live). Left at 2:30 in the afternoon and drove the 16 hours straight, pulled in at dawn. While there I [...]

TWER Sez: Everybody Wants Some
By J.M. Comer
You people are horn-dogs. Horny, horny bastards and bastardettes (meaning the ladies, or is there another term? I forget).
And I love it.
Why am I saying these things? Well, you people prove my bold assertion week in and week out.
The streaking-Playboy-coed-swimsuit stories seem to always populate our top-viewed posts (see “Top Posts” at right-hand [...]

Kenny Irons: Cutting up and then just cut
By J.M. Comer
I found this video (and a crazy photo, follow the link) on Deadspin last week. It’s vintage Kenny Irons enjoying life, football and Hooters (maybe too much).
But sadly, probably days after the above video was created, former Auburn running back Kenny Irons was waived from the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday … again. He was [...]

… which made me think of this recent tribute to Knowshon Moreno sent from Japan’s Chris Shelling Jr…
… which made me think of this already well-documented, possibly Canadian, and just ???? Bammer slam-campaign… [h/t/y/h/g/h/y/The Auburner]
(…. says Shelling Jr. “gosh bama fans are lame… i would [...]
