Okay, for the opener.  Carl Lawson is out.  Alex Kozan may be out.  Roc Thomas may be out.  Jon Mincy may be out.  Nick Marshall may be out.

And practice hasn't started yet.  I'm not gettin' the warm fuzzies right now.

Welp.

Gus just had a presser to confirm that Kozan is out for the entire season. Will be having back surgery.

He also confirmed that Marshall & Mincy will be out for Arkansas, or at least will "not start". May have a DJ Hall in the La Monroe game if shit against the piggies gets out of hand, which I pray to God they don't.

So, of Snag's list, only Thomas remains to be seen. The rest are all out, to varying degrees.

[AUChizad]

He did say Roc practiced without limitations today, so that's good at least.

Starting OL:
LT Shon Coleman
LG Chad Slade / Young
C Reese Dismukes
RG Avery Young / Slade
RT Patrick Miller

Therezie might be out too...WOTS, failed drug test.

will "not start".

Marshall is in on the 2nd offensive series.

Oddly enough none of this worries me. 

Gonna be ok.

don't worry, about a thing, cause every little thing, gonna be alright


So in this variation of "Armageddon", the giant ASSteriod heading our way is Bielima nervosa?  (a swine disease that will make them vomit forth cash in form of buyout)

I think any SEC coach can buy three years if he can beat Saban (only Bammuh can beat Bammuh) or Malzahn, especially those from the center tier.

Meh, who cares? The university? Please! They pay Gus to win; not to be Director of Big
Brothers/Big Sisters. If no one got in trouble but he went 7-5 every year, the powers that be would let him go and would hire another one. It is ALL about the wins and the money.

[Kaos]

Nick gonna play. So who cares?

Apparently the plan all along was to play Jeremy Johnson more this year no matter what. http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2014/08/bigger_role_for_jeremy_johnson.html

I wonder if that's just a public way of motivating Nick to stay clean or if they are for realz. I seem to recall similar talk last year but his playing time against UGA, UA, MU, and FSU was stark at best.

I think it's a way to keep Johnson happy too with so many college QBs jockeying around.

If Marshall is a true Heisman contender, which he is a clear front runner going into the season, this hurts his campaign badly. Hurts his numbers.

I'm also not too worried about the Marshall/Mincy thing. Much more worried about the Kozan thing.

I will say, I hope Marshall & Mincy sit out at least a half, and I would love the shit out of it if we wouldn't play them at all because we're beating Arkansas by 28 or more by the third quarter without them.

But as much as we like to joke about Bert being terrible. And he is. He's definitely got us circled and will be doing whatever he can to catch us sleeping.

Marshall would have to win it mainly with heroics based on our schedule. Mariota has to put up numbers in the ballpark with Winston who could lose it due to crab claws, bb guns and forced sex...allegedly.

The interesting story line is that now, Gus will be coaching his 9th different starting QB on opening day in 9 years.

So Gus is to starting QBs what Elizabeth Taylor was to husbands.

[wesfau2]

forced sex

TPD is calling it a struggle snuggle.

Bright side is Fat back Bret has been preparing for the likes of Marshall. I would imagine that with Gus using Johnson at QB we will lots more in the passing game.  Hello Duke and Sammie.

Yup and it causes Brett to change their practices...then when Marshall comes in for the second play, it'll fuck up their strategy.

[Kaos]

The Hogs have real confidence that they have Auburn "figured out" and are going to win something like 31-21.
