Week In Review:

BLAKE has TAKES, Dr Z gives us our weekly eye exam, and Franklin Featherston reviews the SEC, and Emily is keeping an eye on those players tabbed for possible post-season awards.

WarRoomEagle and Tuco do their magic in reviewing the Xs and Os. WarRoomEagle discusses Auburn's "High School" Offense, while Tuco discusses the defense really coming into its own.

Peggy would like to speak to you of this place called Schmississippi Schmate.

Josh is seeing no reason why we're NOT going back to the championship, right now.

Everett wants to keep you informed of all the things happening around Auburn if you're hanging around town this weekend and not traveling to Starkville.

I did a Q&A with the folks over at For Whom the Cowbell Tolls and then addressed the issue of some Auburn fans taking cowbells of their own to the game.

Tuco gives us a bonus look this week at the Xs and Os of the MSU offense and how Auburn will face it.

Matt Donaldson has your serious preview, Bobby Barkley is Barning Hard as always, and the staff as a whole gives their thoughts on the game.

That's it. The game thread will be up around noon, tomorrow. There are some other big games, so we'll have a place for everyone to talk about what's going on throughout the day in college football. I won't be able to hang around the open thread this weekend, as I'll be in Statesboro, GA interviewing some former Georgia Southern greats prior to the GSU homecoming game against Idaho. Y'all pull the Tigers through for me. I'm sure I'll be struggling not to check my phone for updates every five minutes.

War Eagle!
