HEAD, SPINNING. WE’RE A GONNA WIN.
So…it’s Houston Nutt at Auburn, and not Leach, or Leach and not Nutt, or Jimbo Fisher, or WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING AUBURN. Your status as the Parador/Costaguana of the SEC is complete. Just put the next coach in an overly medaled jacket with epaulets and have him make grand speeches from a huge marble balcony mounted on the side of Jordan-Hare. We repeat: a key party could make the SEC West a much simpler place to live.
We’re just as baffled as the rest of you. MarioKart, take me away.
The little fist-pump when he takes off shows you he cares. (BTW: That go-cart screams.)

I can’t believe some of the comments from the link. TTech would absolutely crucify any SEC team not named Florida and Alabama, but yet they would prefer Houston Nutt and Jimbo Fisher?
I cannot wait to watch the Cotton Bowl this year.

What the hell?!?! There is no need for this coaching incest in the SEC. You need new genes or else the schemes will become so deformed they will not be viable. SEC speed under the Pirate King would have been awesome. I will now catalog a depressing Great Depression oral history to cheer me up.

So does this mean Leach to Oxford then…. I think that may make an even better clash of cultures than Auburn.

Well, on the one hand we could buy this machine that runs on corn and water and is an invulnerable death-machine. But that machine’s pink, and pink is for fags. I like this machine over here. Sure it runs on jet fuel and frequently crashes in the heat of combat, but it feels more manly.
Why are we still losing?

I’m so glad this got interesting. I was worried Leach would be hired and it would be done inside a week.
This really needs to play out for a long time with crazy twists and turns and lots of embarrassment for all on the plains.

http://blog.al.com/auburnbeat/2008/12/nutt_no_contact_with_anyone_fr.html
my guess: auburn isn’t going to hire any coach. ever. they plan on winning by having the opposing teams head’s explode from mass confusion. they’ll add to this confusion by having chris todd start at quarterback again, have mario fannin kick PATs, and recruiting only juco transfers for the next 3 years.
leaving the SEC a bloody, writhing, mass of corpses, with todd (in his 8th year of eligibility) standing alone atop the pile.
oh, except for saban. he’ll still be there *sigh*

That 5.0 Guy says:
So, I guess Auburn is going with the Communism approach. They have evolved beyond needing a ruler as the players will work in harmony as a collective to win games.
BTW, is the SEC jumping the shark here or is it just me? At this point, it feels like a really bad all-star edition of “Who’s gonna get shit-canned? LIVE”.

Re 25 No kidding. Its SECCG week and there’s a clash of cultures to be unleashed in a little over 24 hours. So where’s the hate? No mention of Jorts recently, no mention of primitive Alabama Man, how speed kills and Bama’s antedeluvian neanderthals are going to be added to UF’s wake of destruction, etc.
As a Bama fan, I’m really disappointed in the lack of hate and taunting production here.

Everything Auburn has done this week has broken my heart. I have been so pissed off for the past few days that I am no longer capable of feeling anger.
To hell with it all – why don’t we just have a reality show competition to determine our next coach? “Who wants to be an SEC coach” or maybe “So you think you can coach?”.

Since we’re already talking shit about the SECCG , I have a hypothesis that we can discuss.
Football players dunked in Tim Tebow’s tears become invulnerable, which would furthermore explain Harvin’s ankle injury at the most inopportune time. Thoughts?
