Yeah.....about those Bulls..

Last post I predicted that the Barn would suffer five losses this season...and I have realized that 5 losses is way off......Auburn may not WIN 5 games if they play the rest of this season like they did yesterday.  I look at the schedule and see only 4 games that I am pretty sure Auburn will win.  They should easily defeat New Mexico St., Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, and TN Tech.  I leave Miss. St. off this list intentionally because the Bulldogs usually beat one team a year that they shouldn't, and it might just be Auburn's turn.  I think Auburn pulls away late, but the game will be more difficult than most think.  The rest of the games on the schedule are looking more daunting with every performance.  If the team that played yesterday shows up the rest of the year, the Tigers could be outright embarassed by FL, LSU, GA, and Arkansas.  Arkansas has the running game to eat time off the clock and wear down Auburn's fantastic defense.  Georgia whipped Auburn at home last year, and that was a "rebuilding" year.  I hope Auburn has a successful year, but I am afraid that TT is afraid to pull the trigger on Brandon Cox, and that could spell disaster for 07.

Alabama looked decent.  This Vanderbilt team is puzzling, so I will leave my comments at that.

After 11 months of dedicated and faithful service, I had to retire my infamous "Starbucks" shoes today.  Brit had been barking for months that they were disgusting and falling apart, both of which are valid points, but buying shoes is a serious commitment.  I finally broke down today and purchased some new Skechers brand shoes that are really comfortable and look okay enough for work shoes....exciting day in the Martin household.

When is it time to give up?  My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been off and on since Brit and I were married almost six years ago, and now they are off again.  This is probably the 7th time they have been separated that I can remember.  I admire the effort, but when is enough enough?   If you truly can't be happy with someone, it is time to move on.  There are kids involved which makes it that much more difficult...

I got the news yesterday that Shauna, my volleyball superstar sister, won tournament MVP of "Grapple in the Grove" that her team placed first in.  She is such a good kid, and she deserves all of the great things that happen to her.

That's all I have for tonight.  I promised a song, and I will deliver...I promise.
