Blue and Orange now blue.....


I have been an Auburn fan since about 1970, ( except for a couple years for Tennessee when Condredge Holloway Jr. played ) and they have been up and down ( see stats... http://www.aurx.net/auburn4.html ) but they have always produced excellent Tailbacks and Fullbacks, and their defense has always been ranked. Boy oho Boy have colleges become fickle in the new days. For the last six years Auburn has ranked and also beaten Alabama, and until this year Alabama had never won against Auburn at Bryant-Denny in Tuscaloosa. That is quite a record... now I will admit that this years blowout was not what I would like to have seen but Tuberville has a set of skills and the ability to bring Auburn about. There has to be more to it behind the scenes. Football has always been BIG in the great state of Alabama but now that the other school has decided to pay its coach $40Million what are the other coaches who make much much less supposed to do. Tuberville's buyout at less than $6million is way less. I may have to retire my Auburn fan'ness for a while. I hate the thought of having to swithch allegiences but I do like Georgia too, and I like the Dooleys, and Mark Richt. We will just have to wait and see. War Eagle...maybe.
