Season Predictions, Part II
8-24-07

Arkansas
It’s payback time. Arkansas can throw all the trick plays and midgets they want at Auburn, it won’t save them. By the way, has that 4’9” runningback who hid behind the line last year and snuck around ever get to play another snap? Or was the sole purpose of his college football career to run under the Auburn D-Line last year? Anyways, I kind of feel bad for Houston Nutt since all of his players are slowly leaving Arkansas for other schools. Tuberville isn’t as sympathetic. Darren McFadden and Felix Jones might be the best running duo since Ronnie and Cadillac, and stopping them will be difficult for the Auburn Tigers. Arkansas will miss Mitch Mustain more than Lindsay Lohan misses alcohol as the lack of leadership behind the Razorback center won’t be enough to supplement the monstrous Arkansas running attack. Auburn will roll over Arkansas for an impressive 24-7 road victory which few Auburn fans will actually attend because… well… it’s IN Arkansas.

LSU
It’s payback time... oh, wait. LSU can take pride in being the only team to defeat Auburn on the road in the past 3 years, on that fateful night in which the football gods frowned upon John Vaughn and cursed him with a bad case of “Gimp-Toe” which resulted in 5 missed field goals, leading to LSU escaping another bitter defeat from the Orange and Blue Tigers. LSU is going to try their very best to keep up with a pumped Auburn team, but will end up sucking more than Daddy Day Camp. Once again, this game will come down to a controversial call, in which passing interference will be called on an LSU cornerback which gives Auburn the critical first down in order to move into field goal range with just enough time to get off one more play. Our new kicker, whoever he will be, will continue the John Vaughn tradition and shank it far left, much to the Bayou Bengals’ delight, but Auburn still wins 38-12. Auburn will win at a price as usual, as drunken LSU fans/players will throw their beer/liquor/gasoline bottles at the players as they leave.

Ole Miss
With Ole Miss Ladies in conjunction with Auburn Girls, Auburn Alabama might be the hottest place on earth on October 27. Al Gore will blame it on global warming, but we will all know it’s just because the chicks are hot. Ole Miss is easily one of the top three schools in the SEC as far as hot chicks go, which makes them one of the top five schools in the nation in the hot girl rankings (USC and Florida State get props too… mostly because of the always gratuitous and appreciated fact that they dress like strippers). Ole Miss treated Auburn to a dose of female hotness last season, and Auburn will return the favor and remind Ole Miss why southern girls will eventually take over the world. Oh yea, Auburn beats the Rebels by a touchdown or two… but no reasonable guy in the crowd will notice. Auburn wins 21-14?

Tennessee Tech (aka Auburn’s bye week)
Will this game be Kodi Burn’s debut as a starter? This should be an exciting look at the future of Auburn… if Auburn played borderline Division AA teams week in and week out, or if Auburn suddenly became part of the Big East… ZING! But seriously, who cares. Auburn’s freshmen class destroys Tennessee Tech until Tubs runs out of players to put into the game. Auburn 250 to Tennessee Tech -4. That’s right, Tenn Tech scores negative 4 points.

Georgia
Let’s admit it, Georgia had a pretty terrible season last year (by Georgia standards), and we took them softly, and they came in like any respectable SEC team would and spanked us like we were naughty children. This year’s game on the other hand, will be a monstrous three hour brawl. Both teams will have this date circled in red on their calendar. This game will be even more amazing than the ladies in the stands, and that’s saying a lot. If Georgia is consistent in anything, it is good football and hot chicks… and I have no issues admitting that. Auburn’s defense will make an amazing stand to keep the Bulldogs from getting into field goal range to possibly win the game in an epic 28-27 Tiger win.

Alabama
I think we should start the counting over. We won five in a row while Alabama was incompetent and hopeless, there’s only so much pride you can take in that. We should start counting how many times in a row we beat Alabama when they’re incompetent but hopeful. There will still be a bitter taste of victory in this game since Alabama will always play beyond themselves for the Iron Bowl and I don’t see Alabama having more than 6 wins at this point. I would consider Alabama’s season a success if they end the season with a winning record. It was bad enough when everyone was just plain better than them, but now everyone is better than them AND they are mad at them. And the last thing that Bama wants is to re-ignite Auburn’s joy for destroying Bama, or compare Bama girls to Auburn girls. It’s the “Year Two-Thousand Saban” and it will be capped off with Auburn ‘hand’ing Bama their 7th loss of the season as Bama will also lose to LSU, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida State, and Tennessee (honestly, Bama will go freakin’ nuts if they win a single one of these games), knocking them out of bowl eligibility. Restart the count at one, Auburn dominates in a 21-11 Iron Bowl victory.
