Watching A&M @ Auburn - good, competitive game. 3 things really bother me concerning Auburn games:
1 - the announcers' obsession with Schwartz - track guy, "world class speed" and all that....I think every program has had that guy, and it's stupid. They keep getting mentioned and drooled over, but they wind up only scoring like 2-3 TDs their whole careers. Being a step faster than everyone else and being a poor football player is stupid and unproductive. Announcers need to get over it.
.
2 - they always have a player nicknamed "Big Cat".......why? Tigers? Good one. It's lame and then it's repetitive. Yawn.

3 - Bo Nix isn't very good. AU has basically put all its eggs in his basket. He's a run & pass guy, a one-read-and-run guy, and those guys can be good. Vince Young was one of those guys, Tebow was, etc. And it's not that Nix's crime is not being Young or Tebow, it's that he's carrying the load of their offense and simply isn't especially good. He'd having a pretty good game today, but for a run/pass QB, this is his first game with 2 rushing TDs. Seriously? Basically, I'm saying a program like Auburn shouldn't be carried by a guy this limited.
