The amount of pressure in the life of an SEC coach must really be something if you're expected to win all the time. The converse in one way is June Jones. Sure, it's fun when Hawaii wins, but if you lose...shit, look around. Who cares?
Well, I tell you this much: in the "old south" they damn well DO care, more than you'll ever know or they'll ever let on. And Potsy and I are running neck and neck with SEC failures. Once again Auburn didn't disappoint, losing to Mississippi State at home. The Bulldogs had lost six (6) straight to the Tigers, but that ended on Saturday. Auburn's scant 1 point halftime lead didn't hold up with zero points in the second half. To continue to put this in to proper context, Mississippi State has won twice in the SEC over the past two years. It seems early for it's yearly win, doesn't it.
So, don't look surprised Sylvester. You did perfectly fine. It's this Auburn team that's on a failure trip. All team sites are acting as if it didn't happen - no acknowledgement in any way. Their Saturday game against New Mexico State has been moved down south to Pay Per View, and CBS has "exercised its right" to possibly (probably) not televise the Auburn/Florida game. I don't know what's happened to this school, but I'm enjoying it.

"You guys" are well in front. You have strength of schedule on your side. I am just drafting the leader at this point.
