Yes it was almost a done deal for Rich to us, glad it didn't happen. There was some speculation for a while with Saban coming to us, that's where he got ripped so much cause he said he wasn't coming at some press conference when he was still at Miami, like he was the first to do that. Speculation built for a while but I didn't believe it all till like two days before they hired him.

Anyway V Tech really doesn't scare me that much (we are death to run on, Tyrod Taylor better be an improved passer) but starting to get a bit worried anyway. There's some speculation that Julio Jones and Mark Ingram won't play, some deal where they went on a fishing trip in the summer, even though the guy wasn't a booster and is apparently an Auburn fan, there's still speculation they might get suspended for a game. We have multiple swine flu cases and our starting DE got shot last night in an attempted robbery. Shot in the arm, he's in good condition but I can't see him playing.
