Suicide Watch Week 4


this week marks the last...errr best chance for Auburn to get a win before heading south to be beaten to death by a very scary Florida team. New Mexico State rolls into town following two embarrassing losses in a row. this is the first time Auburn has lost back to back games since 2003 and the first time they've lost back to back home games since i can remember. right now it is looking unlikely that Auburn is gonna be eligible for a bowl game with the way they are playing and with the fact that they still have road trips to Arkansas, Florida, LSU, and Georgia as well as Bama waiting to get revenge at the end of the season. The Liberty Bowl might be a stretch at this point. losing to Mississippi State is one of those soul sucking, spirit crushing moments that make you realize how truly bad your team is and how you really can only start counting down the days to next year. with Brandon Cox's descent into QB madness and the receivers inability to catch a football all the preasure is on the young runningback duo of Ben Tate and Mario Fannin. both players are skilled and will probably make up the best backfield in the SEC over the next few years, but right now they're too young to carry an offense that is just plain ugly. Oh Brad Lester, why didn't you study more?

New Mexico State comes to us with one of those pass happy offenses that already has their QB throwing 11 touchdowns in his first three games. this should give Auburn's excellent D-Line a chance to tee off on QB Chase Holbrook all fucking day. finally Qunetin Groves can get that all time Auburn sack record and more than likely the defence will be able to get some good field position and hopefully a few turnovers that can give the struggling offence a chance to put up a few points.

the only real bright spots for this team have been the defence and the kicking game and they should be good enough to beat all the bad teams they have left, but the offence needs to figure out what the fuck it's doing and abandon Cox in favor of freshman Kodi Burns at QB if the Tigers wanna be in a position to compete next year.

Potential for tragedy: 5, normally i'd rank this a 1 but the way the Tigers are playing i wouldn't be completely shocked if they lost again. it's gonna be a LOOOOOONNNGGGG year.

method of suicide: how do you kill what's already dead? Auburn now a Zombie
