If you're going to protest, do it for the right reasons. Via Flickr user "granitepics" and a tip from friend-of-the-blog "Anthony": This is not an excuse to get political in the comments, mind you, but we can all agree that this would be a better use of PBS...

Visual evidence from Jay G. Tate of how badly things have continued to go for Auburn on the injury front: That's the one-and-only Eltoro "The Toro" Freeman at morning practice, sporting the cast we'd heard he was wearing yesterday. Although Freeman (according to Tate...

Tony Franklin! Apparently, he had something to say about Chris Todd and his time at Auburn! I know, I'm as shocked as you are!

So I just got home after an evening at a friend's house, it's just before 1 a.m., and I decide to double-check on how practice went just before I go to bed ...and, you know, holy crap, man. Ho. Ly. Crap. Chris Todd. With Burns at receiver. And Caudle at ... well, Caudle at...

Back by popular demand blogger fiat, it's your No. 1 most favorite tolerated series of near-substanceless, air-injected preview puffery. As always, it should in no way be mistaken for actual preseason football nutrition, but hopefully you find the series unaccountably tasty and...

You could make a "what a surprise, Trooper Taylor's mouth is open" kind of joke here if you didn't know that whatever was coming out of his mouth was freaking hysterical, unless it was freaking insightful. His mouth should be open as often as possible. (Oh, photo...

Four weeks is a long time to go without linking up any of the always fine work produced by the Auburn blAUgosphere, so we've got quite a backlog I'm attempting to remedy in this post, starting with the welcome return of regular content from Jeremy, J.M., and TWER. Like this...
Yet more news of an assorted nature

There's actually more going on in Auburnland than just fall camp, even if fall camp is, well, fall camp. A quick rundown:Move along, nothing to see here. When Brandon Jacobs never bothered to even explain his absence from Auburn's camp the handwriting was on the wall--in, like...
Camp report, 9/12

It's not much of a shock that a closed-door scrimmage yielded less information than we Auburn fans would like to receive, but ... uh ... yeah, I guess I was hoping for more than what we've got this morning. But there's a reason for that, as Andy Bitter explains: These closed...

Onterrio McCallebb, one of nine remaining players on the roster to not yet be moved to safety. A variety of links and notes from yesterday's practice, heading into what Gus Malzahn has declared a pivotal scrimmage today:The biggest leak in the dam? Auburn's 75-player depth...

I'm typing this from Birmingham's Shuttlesworth International Airport--the wi-fi's still free here, God bless them--a few minutes from boarding a flight that will take me to Charlotte. A flight there will take me to Detroit, and a car there driven by a friend will take...

Sorry: today hasn't left time for blogging. I do have to ask that you read Goldberg's breakdown of Auburn's current scholarship numbers, which, Yikes. At least we know they won't have a problem finding a scholarship for Clinton Durst. Chizik's surprisingly effusive...

So, one day of practice in the books and we’ve learned … well, not a lot about the team itself. But we know a lot more about the composition of it, courtesy of Tate, Goldberg, Bitter, and (in the case of JUCO destinations) Beaver:--Whew: Frenchy’s still on the team. But the career...

Break out the kazoos, Auburn fans--the long, tortuous offseason of "news" cycles solely devoted to Limo Gambits, recruiting, billboards, recruiting, injury rumors, and recruiting has come to a close. Live practice starts in Auburn this evening. The players taking that practice...

It's going to be a couple of days before I'm in Internet range, just FYI. Should have some quality chances to get some Cheese Puff writing done between now and then, though, so hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

All right, so, yeah, sorry about that little disappearing act over the past couple of days. As I mentioned the other day, the Mrs. JCCW and I are gettin' our tourism on, and both Internet access and time to blog are, uh, erratic. The plan is to use whatever downtime we get to type...

Judging by the majority of the comments left on this blog and other Auburn-centric gathering places around the Internet, the majority--though not quite “consensus”--opinion on Tyrik Rollison is as follows:We think he’ll be great. But he ought to redshirt this year.It’s a perfectly...

Gonzo blogging. I'm not sure this caption for this picture as created by JRS for his Auburn schedule preview really makes any sense, but for some reason, I want to give it a hug:I think that reason is probably just the built-in wonder of the phrase "bat country." The...
