     War Eagle, everybody! Tonight, the Auburn Tigers will visit Starkville, Mississippi, to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Both teams are coming off a couple of weeks of offensive disappointment, and are looking to redeem their respective seasons. For Auburn, it’s the first true road game of the season, in an environment known to be really noisy, thanks to cowbells. For Mississippi State, the time is now, after back to back losses to Kentucky and Florida.

     This game has been shunted all the way down to last place on the day, and will not kick off till 6:30 PM, Central time, on ESPN-2. The only good news for those attending this game, is that it will be a bit cooler in the evening, in this summer that will not end, in the Deep South.

     At kickoff for this one, temperatures should be around 84F, falling to the upper 70s when this one ends around 10:30 PM. It should be mostly clear, with no chance of a shower.

     As always, feel free to join in and enjoy this thread. I will at the keyboard for my usual play by play, and I’ll hope to pull my Tigers through this big road contest. War Eagle, and let’s beat those Bulldogs!
