Know who&#8217;s are as good or better? #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s Tuscaloosa meme, today: Tide were looking ahead to Ole Miss.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And after that delightful mid-day diversion we come to the game of the night, Auburn at Kentucky:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think of early drives as something Auburn refuses to prepare, opting instead for the joy and challenge of mid-game adjustments. #wareagle <strong>I&#8217;m ready for any other rationale you might have on the subject, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cam Newton will trade you this stiff arm for your graham crackers. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Florida, on the alternative screen, show you why you should never wear orange jerseys.<\/p>\n<p>Touchdown Auburn! If Cam has a Twitter account his new status from the sideline is &#8220;Isn&#8217;t even trying hard.&#8221; 7-7 #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Dyer, Lutzenkirchen, Dyer. Kodi Burns. Chewing up the yardage. Look for another drive or two like this before the night is over. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/tzac81au\">@tzac81au<\/a>, too, looks like he doesn&#8217;t have to run especially hard. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>TOUCHDOWN AUBURN! Cam Newton grinds out the last bit of the bluegrass. Now&#8217;s the time to set the tone for the rest of the night. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Look at those Kentucky fans, dreaming about basketball already! #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Nick Fairley is trying out finishing moves for a potential wrestling career. #wareagle <strong>(Upon the instance of the first questionable 15-yard penalty.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking of inventing a candy bar and naming it after Josh Bynes. You&#8217;d buy one of those. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Do not trick or treat Cam Newton&#8217;s place. He will just push your costumed kids to the ground like Kentucky defenders. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s ridiculous. Just ridiculous. Cam Newton to Kodi Burns on the most ridiculous made up play ever. Ridiculous. #wareagle <strong>(Spurrier added it to his playbook for next week&#8217;s Kentucky game.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Touchdown Auburn! Another play, another rushing score for Cam Newton. Three tonight as the Tigers roar out to a 21-7 lead. #wareagle <strong>(If only they did this for 60 minutes &#8230;)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kentucky dribbles the ball and Craig Stevens recovers the fumble. First down Tigers! #wareagle<\/p>\n<p><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/atcrawford\">@atcrawford<\/a> It wouldn&#8217;t be the most egregious MNC anyone ever counted. <strong>(He congratulated Auburn for claiming the transitive national championship for having beaten the team that beat Alabama &#8230;)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Should be 28-7, but nice to see<br \/>\n<a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/wesbyrum\">@wesbyrum<\/a> connect to run the lead out to 24-7. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Dear referees, <a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Z_Etheridge4\">@Z_Etheridge4<\/a> has been through enough. Now he&#8217;s going to go through some Wildcats. (Also, he&#8217;s still in play.) #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Dear referees, It is called gravity. And is legal. Newton (not the quarterback, the other one) wrote a law about it. #wareagle <\/p>\n<p>Florida is playing LSU not to lose. Which is working into Les Miles&#8217; oddly crafted hands.<\/p>\n<p>Cam Newton is winning the Kentucky Derby. Write it down. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>Touchdown Auburn! Gus Malzahn is working in the future, driving up Newton&#8217;s stats so he can show off a Heisman to recruits. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>At the half: Tigers 31, Kentucky 17. Newton is 8-11 for 129 yards passing with 132 yards rushing and FOUR scores on 13 carries. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>So the first half of the third quarter was an excellent time to eat dinner. And if you are superstitious, I&#8217;m not having dessert. #wareagle <strong>Because my having food was clearly what caused the problem. That and whatever you were doing after the break. And whatever you&#8217;re doing, you really need to stop doing it during football because it was not helping matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/wesbyrum\">@wesbyrum<\/a> Chips one in for a score, Tigers re-take the lead 34-31. #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>And we&#8217;re tied again, 34-34. I vote for a seven minute drive featuring Michael Dyer culminating in a @supurmario27 touchdown plunge.<\/p>\n<p>Auburn just put us all in the uncomfortable position of Bob Davie making sense. Hate when that happens. #wareagle <strong>When Davie is talking about being sensible on kickoff returns you know you&#8217;ve over-thought a play.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re running yellow-37. That&#8217;s Cam scrambling around to make something happen. It is similar to colors green and red, and numbers 4-31.<\/p>\n<p><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/wesbyrum\">@wesbyrum<\/a> kicks the game winner. 37-34, WAR EAGLE, 6-0 and moving up the polls! #wareagle<\/p>\n<p>LSU, with seconds left, lines up for tying field goal, fakes it, drops it, and STILL gets the 1st down. Les Miles&#8217; soul has been sold again.<\/p>\n<p>The play is being reviewed, but Les Miles is laughing because he knows the NCAA has NO RULES FOR HIS MIND.<\/p>\n<p>The Auburn finish was just an inevitability and not quite as dramatic as the Florida game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They can spike it, run it out of bounds or throw it incomplete.&#8221; Or they can run the LESTER!<\/p>\n<p>We should start to consider the possibility that Les Miles is sane and brilliant and the rest of us are crazy.<\/p>\n<p>After the game Les Miles and are going to Vegas and betting it all on .5 turquoise and walking out with the roulette table! <strong>I changed the color because that makes it funnier.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not a bad Saturday, that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football on Twitter, copied and pasted for posterity.
