AUBURN ALREADY PRACTICING, THROWING FOOTBALLS LIKE CANDY
Violently emotional: Muschamp.If you’re starved beyond belief and ready to seize without football, you could head down to Auburn and catch spring practice. (What? Opelika’s got an airport. Resisting cow joke telling urge resisting cow joke telling urge.) Auburn’s working in both new offensive coordinator Tony Franklin and defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads. Today’s shocking revelation: Rhoads is different than Muschamp.
“I can already tell he’s going to be a great teacher,” Powers said. “If you screw up with Rhoads, he’s going to let you know just like Muschamp. Muschamp might have let you know a little more violently. Just comparing the two, they are great teachers and great coaches. They are passionate about football.”
Violence: exactly what we look for in our defensive coordinators, masseuses, and gardeners. Auburn’s qb are throwing way, way more passes in practice than they had under Al “Gorgeous” Borges, up to hundreds of passes a game, according to practice reports. Pat Dye, on hearing the news, wept big fat old man tears.
Meanwhile: Texas is ideating like WHOA with new blood Muschamp and Applewhite.

That whole playing defense and tackling thing is probably going to be a shock to a lot of the Texas players. Winning a national title is a lot harder when Superman isn’t your quarterback.

I heard Chris Todd stayed around for a while after practice throwing passes to John Cubelic while Chaz Ramsey and Lee Ziemba did a few one-on-one drills against a prosthetic leg with life-like ACL.

The state of Alabama collectively says to the state of Texas, “Quit stealing our **** or we’ll give you another Franchione.”

#4 – It should be Noted that Bear Bryant came to Alabama from TAMU, so its just the world returning to homeostasis after so long.
In fact checking my stat there, I was made aware of how unstoppable Alabama was throughout the 1970s, which puts the big money donors for the next 20 or so years in that graduating age, I expect some hard core cheating to take place soon if Alabama doesn’t get good in the next couple years. Baby boomers with money + remembering the good ole days = $$$ and Cadillacs for everyone!

This is outta control. Time to start compiling another list. Most overused jokes on EDSBS. Starting with:
1. Auburn chop blocking
2. Nick Saban doesn’t have time

(it’s in the fine print on the land grants somewhere). Amazingly, the offense has…issues.
