    Maybe a little of both?

    Soap opera is right. Can we call Auburn's season this year a dramatic pause?

    I have NO issues admitting there are teams I will root against. But, in some cases, even if a win means it benefits the team I can't manage to pull for some teams. USC vs Notre Dame was a topic of conversation two weeks ago when we still had three undefeated teams. But, it's simply not in my DNA to root for any team with Kiffin.

    I hope you guys make a BCS bowl this year. But, I can't pull for Florida State.

    Terry what you fail to realize is that I was already disposed to root for those teams. I've said it before that I am a fan of LSU and whoever is playing Bama.

    I haven't failed to realize that. You've made it perfectly clear on more than one occasion.

    All in.

    Couldn't happen to a more deserving fan base.

    Except Bama's.

    Which program is in worse shape for the future: AU or ARKY?

    It depends on if you're asking immediate or long term. Arkansas should recover quicker. Auburn is currently a disaster but will prove to be the better program in the long run.

    If auburn beats bama, they are in deep shit bc chiz rag will be there for at least one more year. Arky could bounce back, but I'm sure they'll fuck up the new hire.

    I'm told tomorrow is Chizik's last day. That's coming from a producer of a radio show based in Birmingham we're all familiar with...he's not one to stick his neck out unless he's pretty damn sure.

    I have absolutely zero connections and I could have told you the same thing. But you have to admit, the admin would certainly second-guess themselves if he did pull it off.

    He's got a pretty large contingent of ex players and alumni that want him to stay just clear out the problem areas—starting with Trooper and including Curtis Luper.
