GAME 8 REVIEW: Just another week at Auburn

 Arkansas 41  Auburn 27.  OK well after a bye week the Auburn Tiger football program is back on track!  Auburn has a long checklist to work off each week and the bye week really threw things off.  There were just several things that did not get done last week.  Luckily though Auburn just has some really great leadership in their silent new president and on to their interim powerless AD and then onto head football coach Bryan "I do it my way" Harsin and his awesome staff of assistant coaches.  I mean some schools do not have good football programs but they never really bottom out or come in last.  However NOT AUBURN, at Auburn we do things RIGHT and now that we have decided to absolutely NUKE our football program, we are going to GET IT DONE.  To the checklist!

  • School president does not do or say anything about the critically injured football program and should care nothing about upset alumni, boosters, fans, or local businesses.  CHECK!
  • School AD whether interim or just incompetent (as has been the case for as long as I can remember!) does not do or say anything either, in fact he was quoted this week as saying that he is "having a blast!".  He or she also should act like other minor sports are as important as football.  CHECK!
  • School head football coach should continue to act like he is doing his job, i.e. a stupid radio show, going to dumb events, and acting like Auburn football is not a smoldering ruin in various press conferences throughout the week.  CHECK!
  • School head football coach should get on said radio show and talk about his previous meaningless school that somehow had success with him as coach and he should act like he is good friends and behind the success of a few of their only good players.  CHECK!
  • School head football coach should continue to talk like he cares or wants to recruit good players to come to school but then really do absolutely nothing.  CHECK!
  • No impact recruiting commitments.  CHECK!
  • School head football coach should give ultimatum to waste a year of eligibility or quit to all unhurt players who want to redshirt since they are not playing much or at all.  CHECK!
  • Head coach and assistant coaches should only go through the motions for another week of PRACTICE like they have done for an entire year but not really change ANYTHING for the better.  CHECK!
  • Head coach and assistant coaches should go through the motions on game day as if the team could actually beat anybody any good.  CHECK!
  • The team should show a little "fight" but still lose by a large embarrassing margin.  CHECK!
Thank you Auburn leadership.  My first three years at Auburn were and still are the most successful three years in Auburn history (1987-89 and three SEC titles) and in those years and since we spent a lot of time CARING about the program and EXPECTING to compete for championships.  You knew better blessed Auburn leadership though, you knew that we would be better off without all that stress.  Now since the football program has cratered and has not recruited well for years we do not have that stress anymore!  We are going to be even worse next year!  There will be no more worrying about championships or bowl games any more or maybe ever again.  Hey maybe we can just get rid of the football program all together since it just causes all this nasty stress?  I am getting ahead of myself though, there is still work to be done!  We have another four weeks to check off!
