Only 4 good home games. :(
does this mean that there will be no Thursday night away games this season, or is that something can could change?
Nope, no Thursdays.
Can't wait to hear the Auburn fans boo Pat Sullivan, when he leads Samford onto the field.
Woohoo! Samford. Not.
not as bad as I was led to believe it would be. there is no murder's row of games. tough games, no doubt, but that is every year.
Auburn fans will never boo Pat Sullivan. Never.
I like the change which made the open date before UGA and homecoming (Samford)between UGA and UAT. That moves the off week to two weeks earlier and still gives us a breather between the two big rivals.
Anyone who thinks October isn't murderer's row better get some new reading glasses!
GO BIG BLUE !!!
WAR EAGLE !!!
