Disco Infurlough
It's a rough time for newspapers these days. As a result, I'll be taking a weeklong furlough starting today and lasting through next Sunday. It's discouraging, but it's the reality of the business.
Unfortunately, that means I won't be able to ruminate on Auburn's possible bowl destinations for the next seven days. I assume things will be decided pretty quickly after Saturday's SEC championship game. Regardless, I can't work again until 12:01 a.m. ET next Monday.
In the meantime, think of my furlough as a weeklong party loosely resembling the video above by The Trammps, only with brighter colors, bigger lapels, wider bell-bottoms and funkier dance moves. (And plenty of video games. Oh, the video games.)
So I beg you not to abandon the blog in the next week. I'll be back soon.

Andy: Thanks for all you've done this season. You're the best Auburn beat writer and will be missed this week.
Thx and sorry about MTO.
Furlough well, Andy.
Your paper chose the week of the SEC Championship Game to furlough its sportswriter. Corporate genius.
Oh man! The best sports writer in Georgia and Alabama combined gets laid off for a week? That sux! We'll miss you!
Sucks man. Thanks for all the hard work.
Andy, I thoughly enjoy your work. I am so glad I found your site and I look forward to your reporting in the future. Enjoy the "vacation" and we will be here when you get back:) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Andy, Auburn has been invited to the Outback Bowl and you have the Trammps as your last entry.
