Mangle Mercer! (Auburn vs. Mercer , Open Thread.)

Tigers must take care of business, today.

     War Eagle, everybody! It’s Homecoming in Auburn. Today’s opponent is the Mercer Bears. Both teams are looking for a win today. For Auburn, it’s a must win game if there are to be any post-season hopes. The Bears come in looking for an upset Auburn scalp for their trophy case. This game will kick off at 3:00 PM Central Time, and it will be televised on the SEC Network Alternate Channel.

     Auburn takes on a team that took a decades-long break from football, and only restarted their program about 5 years ago. Mercer was a middle of the pack Southern Conference team, last season, and is looking to step up in the world and get into postseason play. A win over Auburn would certainly jump-start their season.

     It’s going to be hot, if you’re planning to attend this game. It will be a mix of clouds and sun for this one, with the temperatures in the upper 80s to near 90 at kickoff time. Soupy air is in place in the southeast today, so it’s possible that there could be a pop-thundershower during the game. Rain gear may be in order.

     As always, feel free to join in and enjoy this thread. I will not be available for this afternoon’s play by play, thanks to having to work. I should be back in the saddle here again next week for the Missouri game. War Eagle, and let’s beat the Bears!
