The Reaper will claim another soul this weekend

Auburn's Gene Chizick has a tough soul. Remember when an Auburn fan shouted at him to go home while he was still on the tarmac before he was even announced as the Auburn coach? Man, if that moment didn't steal your soul, what possibly could?

Well, I'm glad you asked. There is a simple answer. His name is Les Miles. Underneath that high cap on his crown rests a black gown, and tucked beneath his purple and gold shirt is a scathe wielded deftly by the SEC's most notorious harvester of souls.

Why, just ask Derek Dooley, whose soul was taken in the "Second Chance" game a few weekends ago. Les wasn't running to try to shake his hand... Oh no... He was hunting a fresh soul.

Or ask Urban Meyer, who arrogantly motioned for a first down before a dark sickle fell on his soul (or what was left of it). His hollow form was barely recognizable at his post-game presser.

Mark my words... Les will carve a most humiliating and controversial path to victory on Saturday. Some may even call it vexing. Perhaps an onside kick or a fake punt, or a play that will appear to come together by mere happenstance. Rest assured, there are no accidents when it comes to The Reaper. What may appear befuddling to some is to Les Miles a relentless pursuit of souls.
