National Championship Coach Gene "The Chin" Chizik!!!!Fun Fact:The Bear Bryant Award has been awarded to more coaches at Auburn than any other University.
Visiting AuburnTigers.com today will feel for a moment like visiting a Star Wars fan site. (Or a Vigo the Carpathian-centric Ghostbusters 2 site, depending on how you look at it.) Not that we would know what that feels like, but the bust of Bear Bryant pictured on the homepage and given to the recipient of the Paul “Bear†Bryant Coach of the Year Award— this year being Gene Chizik —certainly resembles the gruesome expression of one Han Solo, frozen in Jabba’s carbonite.And then, before you can even process the macabre juxtaposition of Chizik’s classic grin cheek to cheek with Bryant’s death mask, [It really does look like that, kind of creepy...] a hologram of Auburn princess Nell Fortner appears out of nowhere and asks you to help that great rebel alliance known as Auburn Women’s Basketball in it’s quest to defeat Darth Summitt this Sunday at Auburn Arena. (You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. And loud.)As Justin wondered, we’re not sure which is the better Jay Jacobs hire: Gene Chizik for bringing Auburn its first national championship since 1957 (and it’s third Bear Bryant Award in as many coaches), or Nell Fortner for being just generally awesome (“click, clickâ€).

Wait a damn minute.....I thought he was a Jack man. That's the whole reason I even buy Dickel.
