Auburn Prepares For Wisconsin

Auburn arrived in Orlando on Monday and had its first gameday practice on Tuesday. Auburn's seniors, who have never lost to UAT, now have a chance to graduate with a perfect bowl record too. The other three bowl victories were Penn St. in the Capital One Bowl, Wisconsin in the Music City Bowl and Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl. This is the third time Tuberville has taken the Tigers to the Capital One Bowl.

Tim Tebow Screws Bama

Tim Tebow made it official yesterday when he committed to Florida. “It was the right thing for me to do”, said Tebow at his press conference. “They run the style of offense that I am used to, it’s close to home, and my whole family went to Florida. I enjoyed my visits to USC and Tuscaloosa. I knew going in that Bama would promote me like no other school, and help me get where I wanted. I just hate that they actually thought I was coming there. They should of atleast had a backup plan in terms of a quarterback. Coach Shula did a great job recruiting me, but the begging yesterday morning was a touch over the top.”

The Neck Nation, who have been used numerous times by blue chip recruits in the past, was silent yesterday. It is expected that they will come out in the next day or two with something absurd like: “We didn’t want him anyway”. JPW is now clearly the man at UAT, and is expected to win 2, maybe 3 national championships while there.

Bammer Nation Saddened By Breaking News

"I ain't gonna believe it", said Donny Bearden of Walker County today on news that the Bear is actually dead. Many people had reported that he was, in fact, dead, and Fox News finally broke the story earlier this morning on Fox & Friends. Reporter E.D. Hill remarked, "We learned that the Bear had actually been dead for years. In fact, it appears that he's turned over in his grave several times." School was cancelled today in Jasper, Gardendale, Capitol Heights, Bessemer and Hueytown on news of the death. "Ain't no wonder we ain't been winning no national championships", said Waffle House employee, "Jo". "We still the power of the South though. Just ask Auburn, we beat their ass for 3 quarters this year." No funeral services are expected since the Bear has, in fact, been dead for several years.

Auburn Announces Sleep Number Bed Product

Select Comfort, the creator of the Sleep Number Bed announced on Tuesday that it plans to market a product through Auburn University featuring Pat Dye Field and the Sleep Number Bed. The bed will be made completely of turf extracted from Pat Dye Field and "sleeps like a dream", according to Brodie Croyle. "My sleep number is 11. It feels great. I've spent a lot of time laying on it and I have no complaints." Look for the product to hit stores just in time for the Christmas rush.

From crimson hero to crimson zeeerooo!

While other fans concern themselves with jobs and success in life,
you vent your frustrations into the nether world of cyberspace.

Venting into cyberspaaace!

that the coin toss was the moment that decided the game.

Coin toss wins it aaall!

Other teams assume that quality of play determines who wins the game.
Only you realize that moral victories and whether or not the opposing team's coach

Auburn Celebration May Have Been Premature

Auburn fans rolled Toomers Corner yesterday afternoon after reading in the Birmingham paper that Coach Mike Shula had received a raise and 5 year contract extension. However, the celebration may have been premature. Today UAT is reporting that contract talks have not taken place between Mike Shula and the school. Dr. Robert Witt, who is best known for his love of male band members, stated that Mike deserved a raise. UAT plans to finish the season in the Cotton Bowl. UAT has only been to two bowl games since 1997.

UAT Fans Plan to Eat Plenty of Crow for Thanksgiving

It started last January when the necks proclaimed the Tide would be undefeated in 2004 had Brodie stayed healthy. It continued into the Summer when Bill Oliver claimed the UAT defense was the fastest he'd ever seen. It got better when UAT beat a soft Florida team with no running game. Still better when SI proclaimed "UAT is Back". Even better when the Tide joined the likes of Vandy with a win over Tennessee. And then it was, "we won't be left out of the BCS if we go undefeated because we are Alabama (at Tuscaloosa)". And then it was: No. 3, and guess what... you will get left out of the BCS because you're not Texas or USC. And finally, it was 11 sacks, dominated by a greater defense, the best offense you've seen to date, and 4 in row by the cow college down the road. Thus, we at OTWS say, enjoy your crow this Thanksgiving, and we'll see you next year in JHW (Jordan Hare West).

Who Will Be the Next Great UAT QB?

Now that the UAT/AU game is out of the way, let the media hype begin. His name is Tim Tebow, and if he doesn't come to UAT then it was only because they didn't want him. But if he does, look out! Not since Brian Burgdorf, Jay Barker, Freddie Kitchens, Andrew Zow, Tyler Watts, Brodie Croyle or J.P. Wilson has there been so much hype. As the books close on Brodie we must all take a moment to reflect on his contributions. They date back to his junior season of 8-man, private school football. Not since Tyler Watts had any UAT QB been hyped as much. Who else could sport the early 90's sunglasses on the back of the neck with croakies look and get away with it? Who else could even come close to making the mullet a modern fashion statement? Will Tebow live up to his hype as Brodie did? That, my friend, is the question.

Overated All Along

By: Shellman Cuthbert Dawson, III

When Auburn's defense looked across the line of scrimmage on the first play of the game, it was obvious that they were looking at a herd of deer in the headlights. First of 11 sacks.

When Auburn's offense looked across the line of scrimmage three plays later, it was obvious that they were looking at a herd of deer in the headlights. Right down the field for a touchdown against the best defense to ever play the game as long as they were playing MTSU and Idaho Nursing College.

Thrashed on both sides of the ball by a vastly superior team. It took Brodie Croyle one play to figure out what to do when the turds were going to pass. Find a vacant spot and lie DOWN!!! Couldn't stand the heat. Kenneth Darby couldn't get it done, but Kenny Irons did - once again over 100 yards rushing.

If there has ever been a team that has been as overated as Alabumble for this long, I don't remember who it was.

Thrashed, trashed, beaten, humiliated. Never should have been built up so high to begin with, but thats the turds for you.

Former UAT HIV Infested Player Arrested

Former University of Alabama – Tuscaloosa football player, Trevis Smith, was arrested 3 weeks ago for aggravated sexual assault. It was later learned that the 7 year CFL veteran has HIV. Team management, who knew of Trevis Smith’s condition for over a year, failed to inform any of Smith’s teammates which have some players upset. According to Canadian law, there is no requirement for employees to reveal their medical history. But many argue that football is not a typical occupation, since bleeding is a common occurrence on the field. Despite the apparent risks, a 1992 U.S. study of the National Football League determined there’s a one-in-85 million chance of HIV contraction through player to player on-field contact. Your chances go up considerably, however, when you share a whore amongst teammates.

Phony defenses unmasked

Written by: SI


University of Alabama and University of Georgia fans had their eyes opened as to how bad their defenses really are when both played home games against teams who have very high quality offenses.

The Crimson Turd played inspired for the first 20 minutes, then saw a vastly superior LSU team take charge and control the game in convincing fashion for the rest of the game. The score was not indicative of how LSU dominated the Turds during the last 40 minutes. No Tennessee luck-out this time.

The Bullfrog faithful had a very similar experience as Auburn, with the SEC's best offense, forced the bullfrogs into utilizing a trick offense based on throwing to the tight end and a no huddle game plan. Tricks usually work for a while, but not for the whole game. The Georgia coaching staff obviously knew that they were outmatched and with a week off, tried to change their offense to counter Auburn's superior defense. That failed and the Auburn offense had little trouble racking up 500 yards against Georgia's defensive imposter. No South Carolina luck-out this time.

Fans of both losers to Auburn and LSU once again this year are confused and groggy from the media leading both schools to think that they are of championship quality.

Next year the coaching staffs of both loser schools should remind their faithful early in the year to remember that Auburn and LSU await one or the other, so not to expect championship seasons. Alas, losers seldom like to subject themselves to reality.

Cooter Nervously Eats Bugers As Gators Take The Lead

3rd string QB, Jim Bob Cooter nervously eats a buger as Florida goes on top 7-0 in Saturday's game. The Gators went on to win the game 16-7 before a record crowd of 90,716 fans in the swamp. Florida led the Vols in passing (247-213) and rushing (68-66). Florida's next game is Saturday vs Kentucky.

Poor Pass + Off. Pass Interference = GREAT CATCH

Prothro made a spectacular catch after a little offensive pass interference and a poor Krull pass as UAT squeaked past USM on Saturday night. UAT only managed 10 yards rushing in the first half which forced Krull to go to the air. "His performance was not stellar", said Coach Sheila. "He has terrible footwork and no touch, but we got the job done. USM ought to be a top 10 team. They looked really good."

UAT will travel to South Carolina next Saturday. The game will be televised on CBS at 2:30.

UAT QB Hopes So Miss Doesn't Break His Leg

Bruddy Krull and UAT are looking for another victory this Saturday as they host a football team that was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. "We've got to win 'em while we can", said Krull. "Our fans are getting pumped after the MTSU win. We feel like we could win another national championship if I don't break my leg running off the field this weekend." UAT, who is almost always the best team in the country until SEC play gets into full swing, will host the Golden Eagles on ESPN2 Saturday night.

Officials Rob Auburn of Victory

After virtually dominating Georgia Tech, Auburn fell victim to the ACC officials. Brandon Cox had an almost perfect game. He threw for 342 yards and 2 touchdowns. His only mistakes came in the second half when he threw 4 interceptions and fumbled the ball late in the game. But we shouldn't be too quick to blame the game on him. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the officials, who had numerous bad calls throughout the night including 2 pass interference calls on Auburn. Cox threw 44 times during the game, 22 of which he completed. His performance would lead one to believe that he'll complete about 50% of his passes and only throw an interception about once out of every 10 attempts. Not bad when you factor in that 5 of those 10 will be complete and the other 4 will land safely on the field. Auburn looks to get it back on track next week versus Mississippi State, and believes they can do it if the officials call a fair game.

Saturday Auburn Scrimmage Notes

Auburn had a physical practice today at the intramural fields, but not physical enough according to Coaches Dunn & Price (we'll get to that in a minute). Brandon Cox looked very good today. Cox was 13 of 19 with 188 yards, 3 TDs and 1 interception. The interception came after a pass bounced out of Prechae Rodriguez's hands in the endzone and into Will Herring's. Tre Smith sat out again, as did Brad Lester. Devin Aromashodu had another great scrimmage as did Cooper Wallace. Anthony Mix ran brilliantly after the catch, but gave everyone a scare when he and David Irons had a vicious collision. Both were transported to the hospital. Irons has bruised ribs and should return in a few days. It was feared that Mix may have injured his spleen, but he received a good report from the doctors and is expected back in a few days. John Vaughn kicked a 51 yard field goal just 2 days after nailing a 45 yarder on a 10 second drill that kept the team from running sprints. Merrill Johnson went down early with a dislocated elbow. This allowed Tray Blackmon more playing time. Blackmon finished the day as the leading tackler, with 5.

After the scrimmage Dunn and Price held the defensive line for conditioning drills. This included what seemed like endless sprints in full pads. The first casualty was, freshman, Rudy Odom. Odom appeared to be having a heat stroke, but that didn't stop Dunn from lighting his tail up. Dunn made Odom, who was slouched over a cooler and being attended to by managers, stand during the drills. Odom promptly fell back to the cooler as soon as Dunn turned his back. After six sprints, Josh Thompson was heard muttering, "WHAT THE F&C#!". Dickens went down after the seventh. Josh, T.J. and Pat Sims walked the eighth. I believe Pat was saving up for the final sprint. Derozan was so tired and hot he almost passed out. He stumbled into Josh Thompson at one point. The 30 minutes of drills was very intense and was the highlight of the entire practice. Dunn was interviewed by AU Tigers immediately after the sprints and, in the heat of the moment, probably ran his mouth a little more than he should have.

Auburn Scrimmage Notes

Auburn held a 80+ play scrimmage this morning at the intramural fields. Brandon Cox caught Will Herring asleep on the first play from scrimmage and hit Kenny Irons for 79 yards to the 1. The offense lined up on their own 20 and handed it off to Carl Stewart who went 40 yards before fumbling the ball (the offense recovered). Two plays later Brandon Cox went deep to Devin Aromashodu, but was picked off by Wilhite. The offense failed to score until an hour later when Cox hit Mix for 15 yards, once again Will Herring was out of position. Blake Field ran the second team today, and looked average. He had one interception late in the scrimmage. Calvin Booker dropped 3 snaps and had one snapped over his head. Cox dropped one, but recovered it. Brad Lester got most of the carries today at running back. Overrall the defense looked pretty good. The offense ran mostly short routes until the end of scrimmage when they opened it up on the third team defense. Only one player went down with injury. Joe Cope hit the ground screaming in agony early in the scrimmage. Everyone stopped what they were doing and took a knee. His screams indicated that he was seriously injured, but 5 minutes later he stood and walked off the field. No one could tell what really happened to him, but it was apparent that he doesn't like pain.

Wesley Britt happy after being selected by San Diego with the 164th pick.

Glory Days at Auburn Continue

Every time you turn around Auburn is winning a national championship or doing something else great. This time it's the men's swimming and diving team who won their third consecutive national title on Saturday as they defeated runner-up Stanford by 77 points. The men's team has won five national titles since 1997. Senior Matt Bricker, who was in the hospital a month ago, won the platform title for the first time in his career. Arizona placed third in the event, while California took fourth and Florida finished fifth. UAT managed to win 1 event, the 200 breaststroke, with foreigner - Vlad Polyakov, but as usual failed to do anything else of significance.

Former UAT QB Gets Life in Prison

Michael Landrum, the first black quarterback to ever play at UAT, was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole on Wednesday after being convicted of a double murder. Landrum, of Sweetwater, hired a man for $1,000 to kill his 3 year old daughter and her grandmother in August of 2003. The 3 year old's mother was in Iraq serving in the National Guard at the time.

Landrum serves another blow to the already tarnished image of UAT football which dates back to the drunken lusts of Coach Bryant and highschool children wanting to play in Tuscaloosa. Since those dark days, UAT has gone through 7 different football coaches, and has shown no real success that wasn't marked by corruption and cheating as evidenced by the continuous NCAA probation.

Auburn A-Day Proves Defensive in Nature

Fans expecting to see loads of big plays and high scoring likely left Jordan-Hare Stadium scratching their heads following Saturday’s A-Day spring scrimmage. The 1st and 2nd team defenses dominated both offenses allowing only 3 field goals, and that was without all three starting linebackers and the first and second team defensive tackles, Jackson and Thompson. The offensive player of the game was Brandon Cox. Cox was 13 of 22 for 225 yards, 44 of those yards came on a streak pattern to Maurice Anderson to end the second quarter. Anderson was knocked out of bounds at the 1 as time expired. Cox, however, was harassed by Stanley McClover all day. McClover had 4 sacks, and was in Brandon's face on almost every play. At times it looked like the offensive tackles had given up on trying to block him. Calvin Booker looked sharp at times as he threw for 84 yards (4 of 12) and Blake Field was perfect on the day passing 2 for 2 for 8 yards.

On the ground, Kenny Irons had 83 hards on 18 carries (4.6 avg), Stewart had 42 yards on 13 carries (3.2 avg), and Smith rushed 8 times for 37 yards (4.6 avg). Tre Smith once again fumbled the ball off a big play that the defense recovered.

Across the state in Tuscaloosa, Coach Shula had planned to start Bruddy Krull, but Papa Krull was there to see that it didn't happen as Krull is still nursing an injured knee he got walking off the field last season. JP Wilson was the most valuable offensive player of the day. Wilson was 14 of 31 for 168 yards, 1 TD and 2 interceptions. Guillon was 13 of 26 for 157 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception. Which left many people wondering what differentiated the 2 quarterbacks. Shula commented, "I just like Parker better. Guillon is a little punk. He's always complaining that he's better than the other quarterbacks, and when we gave him a shot last year he really screwed it up."

UAT's offense put up big points (the final was 20-18) which proves that Shula plans to open up the offense this year. "We should win the national championship this year as long as Bruddy doesn't bust his ass coming off the field again. I think we have to look to the national championship every year. That, and talk alot about tradishun", said Shula.

UAT, Once Again, Embarrasses State

The residents of the Great State of Alabama have, once again, been embarrassed by UAT's attempt to compete in sports. Head Baseball Coach, Jim Wells remarked, "I'm glad I'm not in this thing alone". Recently, the baseball team was dominated by Miami of Ohio. They have also lost 2 games to Hawaii and are winless against UAB on the season. We attempted to reach Coach Shula, who has done her share to embarrass the state in football, but she was unavailable for comment.

UAT was completely dominated today by the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers. A lot of people didn't realize there was such a school. "It's like getting beat by Troy State at Montgomery," said Larry Williams, a lifetime UAT fan who joined some friends to watch the game at Wings in Montgomery. For 40 minutes the Horizon League champions dominated play. "We expected this," forward Joah Tucker said. "It wasn't a big surprise for us."

The loss leaves one to wonder, when will it ever end. Will UAT ever return to the glory days in any sport. Even this website has suffered over the past 4 or 5 years with UAT. "They just don't have the swagger they used to have," said long-time Sidelines reader Phil Cupper. "I almost wish they could win a softball game or something so they'd come back."

UAT Not as Good as 2nd Best Team in SEC-East

UAT choked on Saturday to the second best team in the East proving, once again, that they are no where near the top of the pack.

Despite the recent fan following and smack talking, UAT proved that they weren't that good of a basketball team on Saturday falling to Florida 68-62. LSU, who proved they were the best team in the West, fell in overtime by 1 to Kentucky. Basketball recently took over as UAT's second most popular sport, behind gymnastics, because the football team was placed on probabation for the second time in 6 years following decades of corruption.

In other news, Auburn lost a close game Friday night to LSU due to poor officiating.

QBs Give Poor Performance in Scrimmage

TJ is carted off after injuring his knee.

It's hard to name the best quarterback on the field with this bunch. Brandon Cox who ran the first team looked below average, throwing at least 2 interceptions. Blake Field also threw an interception to Steve Gandy who returned it for a touchdown. Field threw his body at Gandy before he pounded into the endzone. Booker didn't throw an interception that I saw, and he appeared to run the offense a little better, but still wasn't better than average. Brandon Cox continues to make stupid mistakes throwing the ball. He reminded me a lot of Daniel Cobb today.

Tommy Jackson hurt his left knee on one of the first plays from scrimmage. He walked to the sidelines with help before being carted off the field. Josh Thompson also hurt his knee a couple of series later, but it didn't appear to be very serious. This gave Nathan Farrow a chance to play, and he looked good. People may want to keep an eye on this walk-on.

Marquies Gunn picked the wrong day to rest his hands on his hips as Coach Terry Price lit a fire under his ass. The whole field got quiet during the butt-chewing.

Jason Campbell was also at practice. When I asked him about Tuberville's comments this week on ESPN, he agreed that the three Auburn had in the backfield last year made the best backfield in college football in the last 50 years.

Tiger Football Notes

The Tigers practiced in shorts and helmets today due to numerous injuries and the flu. James Swinton and Lee Guess missed practice due to the flu. Brandon Cox also reported not feeling well, but still practiced. Some of the young guys are getting playing time at linebacker due to injuries with Travis Williams, Antarrious Williams and Kevin Sears. Antarrious is still hobbled with his December wrist injury, but has been practicing lightly with a cast. Travis Williams has a high ankle sprain and Kevin Sears broke his thumb in Saturday's scrimmage. Kevis Burnam had a good day at middle linebacker and Karibi played weakside.

On the offensive line, Leon Hart was moved to guard after a miserable day snapping the ball on Saturday. He will practice the rest of the Spring behind Ben Grubbs and get some work behind Marcus McNeil at tackle.

Other news, Jarrod Britt missed his fourth practice due to a shoulder injury and Tony Bell and Anthony Mix haven't practiced this Spring due to academic issues.

Montgomery Black Caucus Demands Black Kicker

After crossing Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma on Sunday, the Montgomery Black Caucus met to brainstorm new ways to screw Auburn University. After a very productive meeting it was decided that the Black Caucus will ask all African-American seniors to sit out this season and bypass any chance at the NFL unless Auburn immediately replaces Junior, white kicker, John Vaughn with a black kicker. Auburn officials were outraged when they heard the demand. "I don't ever remember seeing an African-American kicker on the recruiting trail", said Recruiting Coordinator, Greg Knox. Senior, fullback, Jake Slaughter planned to sit out his senior year, but was reminded that he wasn't black and it wouldn't count.

The Caucus plans to continue the fight until all southern schools are scared to hire any black employees.

Auburn Gymnastics Picks Up 3 Wins

Julie Dwyer on the balance beam

This one's for all you UAT fans because we, at OTWS, know you like your gymnastics.

The No. 20 Auburn gymnastics team added three wins to their overall record today beating West Virginia, Kent State and No. 23 Michigan State. Dwyer shined in the all-around, socring a 39.175 to place in a tie for second in a field of eight. Also competing in the all-around for AU was Courney Pucket, Aimee Goheen and Kayce Stein. Puckett finished in fifth with a 38.950, a season-high, and Goheen scored a career-best 38.900 to come in sixth. Stein earned a 38.750 to place eighth.

Auburn Baseball Notes

A Clemson grandslam off the top of the scoreboard in the 7th put this game away as Clemson downed Auburn 14-3. Auburn took 2 out of 3 in the series and will host VMI next weekend before traveling to Troy on Tuesday. SEC play begins the following weekend (March 18th). The Tigers will open conference play at home against Tennessee. For those of you coming up to A-Day on the 19th, the UT/AU baseball game will be played at 4:00.

OTWS Predicts Auburn to Win SEC Tournament

Auburn smashed Arkansas today at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. Quinnel Brown was 8 for 8 shooting with 21 points. In fact, the only thing he missed today was a free throw. The win broke Auburn's 5 game losing streak and brings their SEC record to 4-12. Auburn will face Vandy in the late game on Thursday. Auburn faced Vandy once this year and lost a close 24 point battle at home. Vandy won't be so lucky on Thursday as this game will be played in Atlanta. If all goes well, Auburn will face LSU on Friday and then most likely Kentucky on Saturday. The championship game is slotted for 12:00pm on Sunday.

Turnip Proclaims Blake Field Best QB

Blake Field was 3 for 10 today with no interceptions and a 5 yard touchdown pass to Charles Mullen. With that performance Turnip named him the best quarterback on the field today. Meanwhile, Brandon Cox was 8-22 for 97 yards and 2 touchdowns. The biggest disappointment of the day was the play of the centers, and overall pass protection. The defense basically destroyed the offensive line gaining 10 sacks. On the ground, Tre Smith was disappointing, Stewart ran for 98 on 11 carries and looked tough to pull down, and Irons had a big 61 yard run that he failed to score on because he tripped.

Defensive Coordinator, David Gibbs remarked that the Tigers have a lot of work to do. "We have to clean it up," he noted. "Everybody made mistakes out there, but there is no reason to panic. We have plenty of time to get it corrected."

Auburn scrimmages again next Saturday at 10am.

Lebo Looks for First Win Against Arkansas

Jeff Lebo is 0-1 against the Razorbacks who come to town today to face the Auburn Tigers at 1:00pm. It's Senior Day on the Plains and the basketball team will honor: Quinnel Brown, Troy Gaines, Nathan Watson and Ian Young before the game. The Tigers are 3-12 in conference play and can be seen on Jefferson Pilot.

Auburn Beats Clemson in 9th

The Tigers rallied in the 9th to beat Clemson last night at Plainsmen Park. Going into the bottom half of the 9th the score was 5-3, three singles later the lead was cut to 5-4. A third balk of the game by Clemson and a walk loaded the bases. Four pitches later the game was tied as relief pitcher, Stephen Clyne walked Russell Dixon. Philip Stringer batted in the winning run with 2 strikes and 2 outs in the inning, and Auburn won an exciting game to open the 3 game series with #24 Clemson. The battle of the Tigers begins again at 4pm on Saturday.
