Pretty much what we all saw Saturday but a good read nonetheless.

Fair coverage.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Much more fair than a lot of what I've been reading on Hogville, actually.

They are generally well balanced and not driven by emotion or hyperbole.

I think his take on AA is on-target.

I wasn't able to watch the game live, and by what I read on here he looked sub-par, but watching the game in replay my assessment lined up with what this guy shared.

I think AA is going to be very solid this fall, maybe even better than that.  And, good golly, he's got some freaking weapons to throw to.

"there's never been any doubt about the linebackers at any time."

Not so sure about this bit tho.
If Auburn is dirty so is Gus. You can't have it both ways. Deal with it.

His take is certainly different than BiggusPiggus, and I like his better. Since I didn't see the game or any practices, I can't really comment about the team's performance for myself, but it seems to be the "blind men and the elephant" from reading other Hogville reporter's accounts. My less informed .02.
And on my deathbed, I'll achieve total consciousness, so I've got that goin' for me!

why do they keep saying Agim is BB's first 5 star.  wasn't collins a 5 star?

I think only ESPN had Collins a 5 star, I believe Rivals, 247, and the others had him at 4
