Well, it's May and the pre-season mags are already hitting the stands. Picked up the Street & Smith version this weekend because it had the ultra-important heights and weights readily available for each team. That's the true indicator of how your season will go. Trust me, I have a formula. On Auburn, S&S has us at #12. Okay, that's reasonable. They list Jarrett Studham as one of the top Heisman candidates. They also say our D-line is one of, if not the best in the country. Funny how they didn't put them in the top 5 with the unit rankings. No matter.
What I wasn't expecting is what they thought of our opening day opponent, Washington. They're #7 in S&S and #8 in Athlon's poll and the heavy favorite to win the PAC 10...or 12...or whatever. All their top playmakers, including QB Jake Browning, are back and all seniors. Frick! I knew they would be a tough opening game, but I didn't know the Huskies would most likely come in favored. BTW, this will be the 3rd straight game for the Tiggers in Merky D's Dome. We are currently 0-2 in that building. Cue the Debbie Downer sound effect. Waaa Waaaaaaa.....
