The ironies of the UnSeason continue to pile up like unpaid bills. At least the personal ironies, for me. It started in August. I get a new job and find out I’m moving. I was going to have a press pass for this season! I could have been on the field! But no… moving… to [...]

Graveyard for Offensive Dreams?
By J.M. Comer
Pinehill Cemetery in Auburn.
While it seems that since the days of Coach Pat Day, Auburn University has been a great springboard for defensive-minded coaches to further their career, the exact opposite can be said for the coaches with experience on the offensive side of the ball.

Did Someone Punch My Spirit?
By J.M. Comer
… Because it sure feels like it.
Just a couple of quick thoughts as I retire for this evening’s uneasy slumber.

Thoughts from the West Texas observatory – Mississippi State
Angelina woke up in her Auburn shirt this morning, how ’bout you?
In some ways, it was the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen. I sweat, I shout, I twist, I pout, I fall in love with every single one of those guys and in my eyes they do no wrong. They are covered in the [...]

Anonymous Flickr Auburn Fan mocks my handicap…
By J. Henderson
I promise I’ll soon shut-up about my expatriate acclimation, but allow me to say that while running out to the new neighborhood grocery store with my young’n just before kickoff to buy the Fritos we forgot earlier at Wal-Mart, and hearing the Texas Tech game (they won [...]
