Your Weekly Auburn Zen: Sandbagging Edition
By Tony Breland
It’s that time again, where we break out the English-to-Farmer dictionary to see what’s happening on the Auburn message boards. As always, spelling and grammar errors are in the originals.
"My thoughts from practice today. The next game I coach will be my first but I have eyes. I do realize CGC is the master at not showing anything and I’m holding onto that after watching the practice today. I hope, no I pray that is it. QB? We have plenty of coaching opportunities left with that entire group. I hope our OL can hold off the DL for :10 every play. Otherwise we may never get a pass off. From what I saw today I’m not sure where all this praise and gushing over Wallace is coming from. Clint looked like he didn’t even want to be out there. Again, I hope it was the fact that our coaches put all the QB’s in difficult to impossible situations in the passing game, i.e., wrong formations, plays, packages, etc. for all out blitzes. Maybe it was just the what the coaching staff was putting out there today but a lot of half speed kind of stuff. A lot of what looked like folks going thru the motions. It just looked like a JV practice all morning and not because that was all that practiced (seemingly). I’m a half full kind of guy but I left with expectations lowered. Man, I hope today was a show."
"We have a great QB named Kiehl Frazier that has impressed the coaches in practice far more than they ever thought. Just my opinion on the situation…I’d bet money on it"
"What’s the name of that Italian place behind Wendy’s in Auburn over by Sam’s? We had a party there Thursday night and so far at least 10 folks from that party have had to go to the doctor. Telling me e coli."
"We all know why everyone would love to be an Auburn man or woman, but it seems the jealousy has turned to bitter hatred. And that hatred is on another level with the media, updyke type of folk, and rival fan bases."
"Can we quit with the “UGAy” and just go back to calling them “thUGA”? Its a more accurate description IMO, and makes us look less like hicks as a fanbase."
"We better hope the REC is not behind this because this is a smelly pile. If there really is dirt involved in Jovon’s recruitment then this could get nasty. Everybody better be telling the same story."
"Where the eff is the leadership at the unibersitee of alabammer. I would expect them to make the Auburn Family whole for this atrocity by one of its “fans”. They should be paying for a full transplant of the most mature trees that could be transplanted. They should also be calling for Harvey Dishittz to be locked up for eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heaven help that piece of trash if he ever crosses my path."
"I don’t see us ever having a 3rd and short really…. I think most of our drives will be OMac for 7-8 on first down leading to a 2nd and short play where Frazier will hit Lutz, Blake, or Bray for a touchdown.Really only need a few plays to be honest"
"Wonder how long the PTB at Auburn are going to continue to tolerate this negativism and demand proof or a retraction from these types of articles. Seems like these people skirt around an actual accusation and live on inferring something wrong. Wish we would also get to the bottom of this situation fast and get on with playing and recruiting."
"if you could trade one scandal in Auburn for one nationwide, what would it be and why? I’d trade the Cam Newton one (no, I don’t believe we paid him, but we could have, and if we did, it wouldn’t be bad) for the Kennedy Assassination. I’m not sure if you could really classify the Kennedy Assassination as a scandal, but it did leave a black mark on Dallas for a time."
