Fair warning: I’m blogging live off the BCS game, and I like …
Even Frosty is coming inside for the game. (Photo by M. Bradley. Snowman by Mrs. Bradley)
Update: The live blog is now open for business and can be accessed here. Sorry to make you switch channels, as it were.
With this weather, you’re not going anywhere tonight — and if you are, the only place you should venture is the insane asylum. The BCS title game is on, so here’s what you should do: Watch your TV and hang out with me. (Figuratively speaking.)
We don’t usually do live blogs off games not involving a local team, but we’re making an exception for this one. Because Auburn is semi-local and Cam Newton is absolutely local and … well, because I just feel like it.
We’ll get going around 8 p.m. — toe-meets-leather time is set for 8:30 or thereabouts — and we’ll keep going until somebody has claimed the semi-mythical national title. (TCU, my heart bleeds for thee.) And I do want to offer one bit of terrible news for AU fans up front:
I think the Tigers will win.
That aside, I invite and implore you to grab your official AU Snuggie — fans of other schools are welcome to join the festivities — and join me (figuratively speaking) on this cold winter night. I’d even invite you over, but I’m pretty sure nobody could make it down the neighborhood approach without damage to both fence and automobile. So let’s do it the 21st Century. Let’s commune the cyber way. I look forward to your company, and I thank you in advance.
Oh, and War Eagle! (I’m tired of being wrong in these BCS games. And don’t get me started about Mack Brown and his SHOVEL PASS!)

Rawdawg,
Everyone has to be good at something I suppose.
MB,
So you thought Ohio State would be Florida and LSU? Not picking against the SEC anymore? Just wait til 2020/2021!

Mutt fans are so bitter as to root for a PAC-10 team, I shouldn’t be surprised.
Would an Auburn loss make up for your lousy ass season, mutt fans? LMAO.

I have to live among the Bammers who are now saying things like “ROLL DUCKS ROLL”. I am pulling for Auburn not only because of the SEC, but also to shut up the Bammers…
Anyone else hearing rumors of Todd Grantham to Pittsburgh as head coach?

Auburn fans are quite delusional if they think UGA fans have to root for AU for any reason. I would like to see what Chiz could do with a team he actually recruited instead of riding T.T.’s team….my guess is 6-7.

as long as Richt’s on the payroll, Bobo will be there too. after all, he did a “great job”.

Answer: “The Georgia Bulldogs will have an undefeated season next year, will take the SEC East, the SEC title, AND the BCS Championship.”
“What is a typical dawg fan?”
That is correct.

I am truly upset you picked AU to win… it’s the Bradley curse!
But I will say this, when Auburn is atop your most obnoxious fanbase rankings, I won’t be nearly as shocked as I was at the beginning of the year… But any fanbase that gets cornered would earn the same honors.

Keeping my comments to football. The “Ducks” won’t
know what hit them. By the time reality rears its ugly
head, they will be down a couple of touchdowns. Cameron
will run for almost 100 yards and pass for at least 250.
You heard it first here.

Go SEC! This Dawg wants to see Auburn win to keep the NC trophy in house. I think it will be a heck of a game.

If I was 6′5, 205 lbs. of lean muscle with 6 pack abs like you, I’d shovel my walk too.
Instead, I took a nap.
I will check in to your blog later, although I will be commenting on the subject of my sock drawer. This is my 4th year boycotting the BCS arranged marriage. When it comes to the BCS, I’m Harry Lime skipping away from the Ferris wheel in Vienna.

They mispelled the TCU coach’s name. That’s why the rumor of Grantham to Pitt came about…it’s Graham to Pitt. Funny…

Why did Scam get the Heisman Trophy ? Its supposed to be for the best NFL prospect and that was Luck,A.J.,or several others not named Cam Newton. Too many times players get the Heisman and are duds in the NFL like Andre Ware,Gino Toretta,Tim Tebow,Ty Detmer,etc. I think the gest NFL prospect should get the Heisman award not a player like Cam that won’t even be a first round pick…

Mark: You no good $%%##U&$@@#.
You just HAD to predict an Auburn win didn’t you? I hope it’s not too late to change my pick. Given your track record last year lol I think I oughter. Just damn. And I had Auburn picked………. LOl can’t wait for the game. you can cry for TCU all you want, but either one of these tw teams would have eaten them alive. Well maybe. i remember the last time there was all this hype about TCU and they then played Oklahoma who hung 70 points on them………..

I can see Auburn putting up 45. However, I see Oregon putting up more than 10. More along the line of 38.
I’ll go with 45-38
