This Weekend and Beyond
« on: October 27, 2009, 12:44:45 PM »
Like 99% of the Auburn fanbase, I'm sickened by the sudden downward spiral.  The reasons are numerous and don't require my "Expert" analysis.  Suffice it to say, the it's as bad right now as I've seen it in a long, long time.  But, it went from the Penthouse to the Outhouse much too quickly and I'm still holding out hope because of the fact that there actually was a Penthouse.  This team CAN be good...good enough to beat Ole Miss and Georgia if they get their mojo back.  Will they?  Trust me, I desperately want that to happen Saturday.  

Now, for Saturday.  Ole Miss is beatable if this Auburn team gets the snakes out of their heads and just goes out to have fun and lay it all on the line.  As I said, they were doing just that a few short weeks ago and there's no reason they can't get that mindset back.  I'm going to watch that game hoping like hell the Auburn of weeks 1-5 takes the field.  If it happens, then all bets are off for the rest of the year.  F.U., UGA and UA had better strap that shit on tight and get ready.  If it doesn't....what then?

IF...Auburn plays a tight game and has a chance to win, we have some things to talk about.  What can we improve on, where can some changes be made etc.  If they get their collective asses handed to them by 3+ scores, showing the same ineptness overall that has been prevalent throughout the last 3 weeks...there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  And if Chris Todd continues his stellar play, this is one area that a change will either be made, or I will join the torch and pitchfork parade to the front steps of the Athletic Building.  Make no mistake, if Ole Miss punks auburn this weekend (And Gawd, I hope they don't) this season is officially a big tittied bust.  Neil Caudle is the #2 QB on the roster.  He had better start every game to finish the season.  No question.

Am I suggesting Caudle is the saviour, the most popular guy on the team and all that?  Nope, not even close.  He's the #2 for a reason.  But...Neil Caudle will be here next year.  Todd won't.  Neil Caudle will be competing for the starting QB job next year.  Todd won't.  Why in the world would you not get the guy as much starting experience as possible going into next season?  There are very few changes that can be made as far as players are concerned with what we have on the roster.  They are playing about all the people they can right now.  But if Chris Todd mucks it up Saturday, Caudle had better be in the gun against F.U. and beyond.

It has been a long time since I have done this, I always laugh at the people on gameday they show drinking around 9:00am:

Sadly I will be one of those people this weekend on the Plains. Ahh, the joy of traveling.

You know what I just realized, I'm still going to watch the game on Saturday holding on to a shred of hope that our team will pull their heads out of their collective asses.  Then, after I come to terms with this, I read Chizik's presser from today, and want to fucking shoot myself.

# He has arrived.

# ``It'll be a fun day and a very challenging weekend."

# On Ole Miss: ``They're probably the most balanced team we've played to date. They're solid all the way around."

# General comments: ``I'm really proud of this group. The mark of the men is coming out. They have been phenomenal. They really want to be a good football team. They've been excellent. Our seniors have really stepped up to the plate and are ready to move past next week and move on to the next game."

# On offensive troubles: ``I don't think there's one thing you can pinpoint. It's everywhere. It's a little breakdown here and a little breakdown there. What seemingly would be little things are big things. We're not panicking by any stretch of the imagination. We have to get better at what we do. The level of competition has gone up. You can't just pin it on one guy." :suicide:

(BLOGGER'S NOTE: Actually, you can pin it on one guy if you'd like. It happens all the time. Ask Jim Zorn about it.)

# On Hot Carter: ``You don't know until you're banging on those guys all night long. It's really good to see him being back close to what he was during the spring before the injury. We need him. With our situation at defensive end, the most depth we can build up, the better."

# He admires Kodi Burns for playing after having two teeth knocked out. ``I talked to our team about that kind of courage and that mark of a man. He's special."

# On not practicing Sunday: ``I thought it was great timing for us to say: Let's take time on the film. Let's take time on the mental part of the game. We took our time. I thought it would be better to have a mental day with film work from the game. The response was great." :suicide:

# Concerned about dissention?: "If there was any of that finger pointing going on, yeah. But they don't want to go through that again. You can choose to be different. There is absolutely zero of that (arguing) going on. They've chosen to go in another direction."

# On the complexities of Chris Todd's job: ``People want to pin all the great stuff on the quarterback and all the bad stuff on the quarterback. That's at any level. This is the most widely recognized league in the country, so it magnifies that. That's what makes the league great. The positions comes with what it comes with. In Chris' case right now, I don't think he pays much attention to it. When it's 3rd-and-7 and he has five guys in his lap, that's not Chris Todd."

# On reaffirming his commitment to Todd: ``He gives us the best chance to win. He needs to know that we have a vote of confidence in him. He knows that." :suicide:

# More on Todd's situation: ``Quarterback's got to be a tough-minded position. It all comes with the territory. If you're not mentally tough enough to get through those things, more than likely you don't need to be playing in this league. You get the good and you get the bad." :suicide:

# On Dex McCluster: "He is a very good player. Now it's not just Wildcat. It's not just receiver. He's your dotted-I tailback. He hits a crease and he's gone. That's something they're hitting on now. He plays at a whole different speed."

# That's a wrap.

All said instances of blowing ones brains out were added by me.

You will have to be more specific than that.  Too many candidates to narrow it down to just one.
