Auburn’s Jay Jacobs seems more comfortable
The time Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs spent with members of the Dothan-area media last week was a wise move. In the half-hour I sat down with him in the radio studio, he was candid and believable.

Paramore column: SEC West predictions
On the eve of the SEC Media Days opening in Birmingham, here’s the as-promised look at how this scribe feels the league’s West Division will play out. One note: Don’t just scan the numbers beside each team. I see a three-way tie at the top.

Paramore column: Chizik deserves a fair chance
In slightly more than two months, Gene Chizik will field his first Auburn football team when the Tigers take on Louisiana Tech at Jordan-Hare Stadium. What happens from that moment until the final whistle of the Alabama game on Nov. 27 could range from pleasantly surprising to one of Auburn’s worst regular-season records in history.

Appeal isn’t right step
Much of the hoopla surrounding Alabama’s punishment from the NCAA over the textbook scandal has died down. It appears it will remain that way. That is, unless the Crimson Tide administration elects to bring it up again.

Kiffin has UT in spotlight
It was interesting to note the same day the nation’s newspaper, USA Today, ran a story on Tennessee’s controversial new coach Lane Kiffin, the school had to issue a statement to cover yet another mistake Kiffin’s staff made in abiding by NCAA recruiting rules.

True or not, Selig should take note
I am the first to admit it. Sometimes the media picks out a whipping boy and goes to work like a pack of sharks in a blood-soaked pool. Fair or not, accurate or not, makes no difference. The brethren of the fourth estate just decide to devour them.

Paramore: Remembering a hero
Most of the time a person’s sports hero is older than them. My first one was, by some 10 years or so. My second one was five years younger than me.

Paramore column: Regional battle was good stuff
I still can’t get Friday morning’s Boys Class 5A South Regional final up in Troy out of my mind. I can only imagine how the players, coaches and fans of both teams must feel.

Paramore column: Super Bowl was a classic
Much of the country is still buzzing over Sunday evening’s thrilling Pittsburgh-Arizona Super Bowl, and with good reason. I think it will go down as one of the best NFL title contests of all-time.

Lebo’s team has been here before
AUBURN — Five years later and little has changed. Florida is still winning. Auburn is still losing.
Meeks’ big night pales with Pistol
Jodie Meeks went beyond Jamal Mashburn Tuesday night. Beyond Kenny Walker and Kyle Macy. Past Jack Givens and Cliff Hagan. Beyond Dan Issel. Perhaps even beyond Ashley Judd.

Auburn hire a mystery; patience will be key
I saw the shocking crawl across the television screen Saturday afternoon announcing Gene Chizik had been hired as Auburn’s new football coach. Then lo and behold, Monday afternoon there was a press conference confirming it. Wow, so that’s what it’s like to experience one of those out-of-life ordeals people sometimes relate.

SEC championship game was an instant classic
Years from now, when somebody looks down the list of scores of the Southeastern Conference championship game, 31-20 might not suggest Saturday night’s contest between Florida and Alabama was the best one of its kind ever played. But make no mistake. It was.

Jumpshooting takes on many forms
As a kid growing up, I read all the outdoor literature I could beg, borrow, or steal. I became a huge fan of those great and famous outdoor writers of the past whose like we shall never see again.
Timing was right on Tubs
Whether it was a resignation or a firing, what happened this week at Auburn needed to happen. The school needed a new football coach, and soon it will get one.

Ole Miss tought for Auburn
It wasn’t another perfect day for the crystal ball a week ago, but it was still a respectable 5-2 Saturday with Vandy’s mild upset loss to Duke undetected as well as Georgia’s rout of LSU. Season’s totals are now 53-14. Now for this week’s projections.
