Title: Bowl Practice...
Post by: JR4AU on December 03, 2009, 02:05:45 PM
We're in a bowl game.  It's great that we made a New Year's Day Bowl too.  However, in the bigger scheme, the best thing is we get that valuable extra practice time.   No question we want to go at it to win the thing, but I'm curious how they'll balance practice reps with the redshirt guys (namely one Tyrik Rollison), against the desire to win the game.  Obviously Tyrik won't play, and it may be putting the cart before the horse, but I think everyone expects that he's the heir apparent. Barring being a complete bust at QB like Kodi, I think they need to use some of the time to get him some reps to.  No disrespect to Caudle, but I'd hate to go in to yet another year with a 1st year starter Sr. at QB.  I know Todd was technically a starter last year, but really wasn't.  Anyway...thoughts on this and other issues regarding bowl practice are welcome.

You didn't get the memo.

Extra practices are hunky dory and all, but the REALLY important thing is that we're not playing in Birmingham.

So I hear...but also heard that we were, by virute of being one of six 7-5  SEC teams, virtually assured of the worst bowl bid of the six because ___________________(fill in the blank with any of the standard bammer babble bullshit manufactured reasons about why Auburn is a second rate program with no national respect)

Wrong memo. Rollison is not with the team at present. He's been suspended from the team for unspecified reasons. So like Rollison yes, but not Rollison.
