Apparently, Madonna isn't the only one who likes to listen some some good pi$$ing and moaning. But, I agree with you Patrick. Bama played a cupcake before the Iron Bowl last year, so now we both will. On the positive side, it might be good for our guys to take a break after nine weeks instead of grinding it out to eleven.

I think that it is ridiculous. They are breaking up a tradition for Auburn. We've always looked forward to (or dreaded) amen corner. The SEC made both Alabama and Auburn change their date a few years back so no team could have a bye before the SEC championship game, and now they force us to play a nobody when it really doesn't change anything in the way of an advantage. Alabama plays Ga Southern the week we now play Samford. I don't know why the SEC asked us to change our open date, but I'm disappointed that we did. Playing UGA then Alabama to end our regular season was always fun, and the SEC is putting a damper on this. Isn't playing someone after a bye week part of the game?
