Anyone got anything cool planned this weekend, other than watch Auburn and LSU mash it up at 3:30? This is perhaps the most important bye week we’ve had in a few seasons for a myriad of reasons. Some guys need the next several days to heal-up. I think the fan base needs to exhale a bit as well as we get ready for a challenging November run.
On to some newsy notes and tiddly bits...or bites.
In the “well, that sucks” department: Arik Gilbert commits to Alabama LSU. This is a complete shocker for Alabama (and, LSU) and is proof that the Saban dynasty is about to crumble.
