Some Random Spring Football Thoughts

thoughts, predictions, unfounded theories, etc...

1. Kodi Burns is totally awesome in video game form on NCAA 2009, but so far he hasn't exactly lived up to his recruiting hype. Ive been openly rooting for the kid the past 2 years and nothing would make me happier than for him to learn the new offense quickly and finally turn into the star some of us think he could be....that being said i am starting to believe that Neil Caudle is going to beat out Kodi Burns this Spring and become Auburn's next starting QB. Caudle hasn't had any significant playing time since his junior year of Highschool after missing most of his senior season with an injury and then of course he was buried on the depth chart by the previous staff. Caudle was an Elite 11 Qb and a highly rated recruit. if anyone is gonna benefit from a change it's gonna be this kid. i don't know why, but i just have this feeling that Caudle is gonna win the job. this will result in Kodi Burns either switching positions or deciding to transfer.

2. At least one of Auburn's 33 useless wide receivers will take his awesome ability to drop passes and get switched over to the defensive side of the ball and help add some more depth to the dbs.

3. Lee Ziemba is totally gonna kick someone's ass...Again. it could be Antonio Coleman (although methinks he probably got more than he could handle last spring), it could be some unlucky freshman, or it could be me when I make fun of him for looking like Masterblaster from Beyond Thunderdome during the Tiger Walk on the A Day Game. Regardless an ass will be kicked, it's only a matter of time.

4. the kicking and punting jobs will be decided by caged death matches.

5. Chris Todd's useless right arm will be replaced by a machine gun arm and he will begin his career as a merciless bounty hunter.

6. having banned hats and chains and alienated 80% of the football team with pointless and outdated dress codes, the Auburn players will revolt and overthrow the new coaching staff. Mario Fannin, whose facebook updates show him to be a philosopher and leader of men, will become the new coach and transform Auburn into the SEC's crunkest unit. "Knuck if u buck" will replace that stupid "here comes the boom" song as Auburn's new intro music, the team will elect to wear their road whites also season long because they look the freshest, and Auburn will lead the SEC in penalties for excessive celebrations as the Tigers channel the spirit of the 1980s Miami Hurricanes.
