I'm about to spend the rest of the afternoon polishing off the WVU recap, but I didn't want to leave you hanging as far as post-lunch reading material goes, so check out ...
1. This post from yours truly at Team Speed Kills on the SEC's bowl-eligibility plight. SPOILERS: No, I don't think Auburn's going to make it. No, for reasons glossed over in the post, I don't like our chances on Saturday. I guess that's a SPOILER for this week's Friday preview, too, huh?
2. At Mr. SEC you can spend a brief amount of time reading what Phillip Lutzenkirchen, Auburn commitment, had to say about his visit to Florida. Suffice it to say that Signing Day might not be quite the joyful holiday we'd like to be for Auburn if Tubby can't find an offensive coordinator we've heard of.
3. Yes, I think the "When SEC trash talking goes wrong" title of this Sporting News post is probably appropriate.
4. The JCCW isn't going to discuss potential Auburn head coaching candidates until the current Auburn head coach is no longer head coach, but those longing for Butch Davis can--unsurprisingly--stop longing. That K-Scar column isn't fun reading, but with Florida St. seemingly down for the count as long as Bowden stays entrenched, Miami too cash-strapped to compete at a BCS level any more, and Virginia Tech's best Beamerball days apparently well behind it, of course ACC jobs are more appealing at the moment. Just one more reason Tubby should get his mulligan.
5. It's a double-blast of K-Scar as today he talks with Paul Spina, president pro tem of the Auburn board of trustees,, who says he'll "fight for (Tubby) to have that opportunity to remain the head football coach at Auburn University." That's the good news. The bad news is that Spina is expecting a fight, one that seems inevitable if K-Scar's claims that boosters are silently holding a "Buy Out Tubby"-a-thon are accurate.

.....Well, this was probably a case of getting my hopes up, but... I actually looked up the Pizza Bowl's website this week, on the slim hope that Auburn can win in Oxford this weekend. I live in Birmingham, and this would only my second chance in my lifetime of attending a bowl game with Auburn in it.
.....Not only were the Pizza Bowl folks dumb enough to dump the Sun Belt and C-USA automatics, on a potential 10th place SEC team, but look what day they scheduled it! A Monday! 2:00 PM, Monday afternoon! WTF?
.....Christmas/New Years fall on Wednesday and Thursday, this year. That means for those two weeks, Bosses are already having to give 4 extra days off for the Holidays. Most folks are out of personal time, by this time of year. Monday, during working hours? Morons! They must WANT to fail!
