Suicide Watch Week 6

so last weekend was great. The Tigers played their best game of the season, knocked off the number 3 team in the nation, in the fucking swamp where Florida NEVER loses and possibly saved the season....but now it's back to Earth. luckily the team waiting to greet Auburn upon arrival to the blue orb is a friendly pseudo-cupcake of a conference foe named the Vanderbilt Commodores...but WAIT, this ain't your daddies Vanderbilt team, this one beat Georgia AT Athens last season and has already won 3 games including a blowout against Ole' Miss. The Commodores come into Jordan-Hare with the best wide receiver in the SEC and one of the better QBs, there defence is holding teams under 20 points (with exception to BAMA...their only loss). in most years you can just look at the schedule and go ahead and count Vandy as a win...but this isn't just any year. This is the CRAZY year in college football where Division I AA teams go beat Michigan at home, where 5 top ten teams all lose in the same weekend, where up is down, right is left, where Mississippi State beats Auburn at home, where Kentucky gets ranked in the top 10 (for a week anyways), where noone at USC is gonna win the Heisman, where ANYTHING feels like it could happen. so don't look past Vandy cuz Vandy might just come into town and pick your pocket.

anyway that's that's what the paranoid man who lives in my head tells me. the reality of the situation is that Auburn finally remembered that they win games in two parts, RUNNING and DEFENCE. i expect both Ben Tate and Mario Fannin to crack 100 yards and Brad Lester to get a couple of touches and maybe a touchdown after coming back from his suspension. Brandon Cox job on Saturday should consist of about 50 handoffs and about 10 play action passes for moderate gains. no need to get all cute and fuck things up. I'm looking at you Al Borges. in the end i fully believe that this season turned a corner last Saturday night and that Auburn might be able to win the rest of their games..with exception to LSU and wind up 6-2 in the SEC with a trip to the Outback or Capital One Bowl, which qualifies as not that bad when you lost two games in a row at home just a few weeks ago. but honestly that's jumping way too far into the future. right now I'm just gonna take every win i can get.


Potential for Tragedy: 3.5 (when you lose to Mississippi State, AT HOME, you suddenly realize that anything is possible)

Method Of Suicide: shot gun blast to the face that you end up surviving and looking like Arseface
