There is a very weird part of me that feels better at this point in this season than I did at this point in the 2014 season. Maybe it is hindsight now knowing that we have a fully bought in staff that is not shopping jobs come start of November, maybe it is not running 1A 1B defense, maybe it?s having a coach that for as long as I have followed him never played scared. Probably a mixture of all three!

Anyways we still have everything ahead of us, NY6 bowl, upsetting teams that we haven?t in awhile, SEC championship, egg bowl. We are not out of it, that brings me great warmth this time of year. That is extremely exciting, and I know that we would all be flipping our frick if we were undefeated right now. Thinking back to that LSU game the more I believe that was the turning point for this team mentally to recognize they have to bring their A game every week. I would also rather lose the game earlier in the year than later.

Taking care of business this week, which there is no reason why we cannot do to the cats what we have done to Arky or A$M. Again, the things that hold this team back is not talent it is focus and execution. We go up there and tackle well, catch the balls we are supposed to, and do not commit stupid penalties, we will win this game well. Again I think LSU got most of that out of us.

Winning big this weekend and walking into a tired, emotional Bama I can see being really good for us. No matter if they win or lose.

Everyone was hyping bama to be their best season, with all respect to bama especially since we haven?t beaten them since Croom. I don?t think this bama team is mentally where other bama teams have been, especially without Young at the helm. I?m not saying that we win, but there is ZERO reason for us to not give them a 4 quarter game and us to at least walk out with a moral victory. (For what they are worth)

All that to say, there is a lot to be excited about. We have to take care of business this weekend, but it is a good time to be a Dawg!

Go Auburn!

HAILSTATE lets get these fur ball coughs in check!
