Staff Pick’ems: UA vs. Auburn

Well, who would’ve thought that we could hang with Florida as much of the game that we did? Surely not me. Let me ask another question, who would’ve thought that we would stall on three great offensive drives in a row around the 30-35 yard line? Just far enough for into-the-wind field goals and too close for sky punts. Instead we go for it on fourth and long. But hey, it worked in our first two wins of the season, so why not. Besides, it seems like Bobby P. has no confidence in the confidence-stricken Tejeda — who is all but out as the kicker now.

Many of us expected a blow-out last weekend and after three quarters, I thought we were safe. Then the fourth quarter just HAD to be played. Lame. Several of us were close in guessing the scores, but I think the closest of all was Dern L. with the prediction of 42 - 6. The quote was spot on, too, “Dudes, we suck real hard as balls.” Yes, Dern, we sure do. But we’re getting better.

So this week we travel to Auburn, Alabama to play those good ol’ Auburn Tigers. What was supposed to be a great season for Auburn has quickly derailed and left them scrambling. Just yesterday, their new-this-season Offensive Coordinator, Tony Franklin, was canned. Franklin was at Troy last year (who we dismantled, kinda, 46-26) and brought the spread offense to Auburn. Just like another team we know about, Auburn has struggled to get the new offense churning. Good thing their defense still rocks, I guess. Two abysmal offenses will go at it on Saturday and will let the defenses figure out who wins.

JTrain says: Auburn win, blah, blah, blah. More importantly, I will shoot and kill the Auburn Spirit Eagle.

Ted Dancin’ says: Why couldn’t they have fired their DEfensive coordinator? Still…as usual, Hogs win.

Dern L. says: Arkansas may have “turned a corner” in last week’s 31-point loss, but we still have a long way to go. With the firing of their offensive coordinator this week, Auburn will come out inspired offensively and score more than they have in the last three weeks. Dick will be limp as usual, and Smith will have a down game. Watch for DJ. Late Saturday night, Petrino realizes mid-crap that he doesn’t look good in yellow.

the Steve says: Arkansas finally finds a way to get into the end zone. Tommy Tubberville wishes he took the Arkansas job in the offseason. JTrain wishes he could feel Cindy Crawfords boobs.
