We digress from our normal Longhorn coverage to talk about the #5 Auburn Tigers. Hope you had a chance to see last weekend's game against Arkansas.
Pork, it's what's for dinner.
How could anyone not be impressed by the performance of Tigers QB Cam Newton. He ran and passed for a gazillion yards. (We'll soon be hearing gazillion when it comes to the national debt but it's Friday and we talk football on Friday)
Newton used to play for Florida where he played behind Tim Tebow on the depth chart. Realizing that meant not-so-quality bench time he opted to leave Florida to play for Blinn, TX Community College then return to the SEC, specifically Auburn where now he's talk of the Heisman World.
It was a risky move, leaving a big-time school for a small-time school. But he wanted to play and man oh man can he play. In this case, Plan "B" worked big-time.
Auburn faces a huge test this weekend at #6 LSU. This is the time of the season for contenders to, well, contend.
Should be grand and you can bet the folks in Blinn, TX will be watching along with the rest of the nation.
From Blinn to Heisman Bling? We'll see. A win tomorrow brings Newton a step closer and the Auburn Tigers closer to a trip to Glendale in January.
WAR EAGLE! HEY!
