Skies looking bad. A weather delay is imminent.

Sun’s already back out and they’re drying the field. Dad and I took the opportunity to head up to the fanfest for a beer and a burger. Hopefully no more rain delays but I get the feeling there’s gonna be at least one in our game too. One of those days.

Too much game left and UGA has too much O for any game to be completely out of reach.
Love the Met. Baseball for days, it’s a fun atmosphere and mingling with fans from all the other schools is always a good time. Pretty much never had a bad experience in Hoover.
I’m just amazed at how lucky we’ve gotten on weather this week to get everything in so far. Getting home tonight at 1am is kind of rough but for May in Alabama everything has come together so far.

Pregame. If you want a beer you have to get a pass out stamp and go up to the Fanfest. And you’re not allowed to leave the area with it and take it into the stadium proper. Plus they’re charging 8 bucks for a Coors tall boy in there lol.

Hopefully that was Dre’s contractually obligated rough early inning.

Really nice out tonight, if not a tad cool.

For us Dre. For them it would usually be Aiden Sims but he’s out.
Met drains well. Wouldn’t fret too much.

Are those the same players who got dog-walked in Jordan-Hare Stadium the previous year, in 2003?


Nall was so freaking bad he couldn’t parlay a backfield of first rounders, a line with two future all pros and a troupe of receivers that got a cup of coffee in the big time into any sort of production. He basically had to be relieved of his duties before the Tennessee game that year.

He can’t property be called the worst OC in Auburn history because Chad Morris happened, but he’s up there.

But the game was played the year before with virtually the same players in Jordan Hare, Auburn got dog walked


Yeah. fricking Nall. That’s probably what cost us a shot the following year. USC and OU basically went wire to wire and poll inertia held us back from passing either. That offense under Borges was far better.

Coaching can make all the difference in the world and Auburn is probably the best example of that. 2012 and 2013 Auburn probably being the most stark example ever. Close to the same personnel but one team was winless in the SEC while the other won the conference.
