Why, oh why did you have to leave our 1st string QB in on slick turf even after it bacame obvious Bama was going to whoop the snot out of Western Carolina?!

The ONE player who is the acknowledged leader of the team…the ONE player we could not afford to lose suffered a torn ACL on a goddamn contactless slide. Wrenched his knee, and now his fucking season is OVER. After he got so much better and recovered from his shoulder surgeries.

Why couldn’t you have sent him to the showers after the 2nd quarter?

RRRRRGHHHGHHGGGGGHH!

I wonder why Mike Shula keeps getting jobs … I wonder, wonder why … what could it be?

I grew up in an Auburn family and even attended school there, and I hope Cadillac gets the Heisman (although Ronnie Brown is the better running back right now). So you see, your little stabs to not faze me. 🙂

But Brodie Croyle has everything it takes to be a GREAT QB, if he can ever get healthy. Damn it, damn it, damn it.

No shit, dude. Can you believe it? What, Mr. Shula, winning 30 \<something\> to 0 wasn’t enough? Did Brodie need more yardage stats that bad? Hope they were worth it.  
As for the other news - I was listening to the Auburn v LSU game on the radio in the car. Not only is my steering wheel bent but my son now knows several new curses.  
The Tennessee V Florida game was good too.  
Here’s hoping that this was just the shot the new quarterback needed to prove himself. Whatever his name is.
