5-star QB visiting Auburn this weekend

So news broke late last night that former Florida QB Cameron Newton will be visiting Auburn this weekend. He was Tim Tebow's backup before stealing a laptop or something, which got him in a pinch of trouble.

He's been at JUCO in Texas the past year and just led his team to a national title. Some Auburn fans are wondering what this means for QB of the future, all-star, savior Tyrik Rollison. Between vague Facebook messages about improving his life and the start of something new, as well as bringing Newton in, some think Tyrik's reign at the top of Auburn mountain could be over before it starts.

Who really knows. But no fan in their right mind would turn down Newton, who checks in at 6'6'', 247. No word yet on if his verbal skills match that of another super-size QB, one JaMarcus Russell.

BOOM

Thoughts....

Not a lot of news out of Auburn right now, but here's what I've seen lately:

- Auburn had several players named to various all-conference teams, but none included Darvin Adams. For a sophomore receiver who had a breakout season in the SEC, this was very surprising. Hopefully this will give Darvin some fire to prove himself further next year.

- Auburn started bowl practice for the Outback Bowl today. They will play Northwestern on New Year's Day in Tampa. Northwestern's last (and only) bowl win was in 1949. If Auburn is looking to build momentum and prove themselves as a championship contender for next year, they had better not lose this game.

- QB Tyrik Rollison, who is under indefinite suspension from coach Gene Chizik, was not at practice today. It seems like most Auburn fans have anointed him QB of the future, so we'll have to see how this plays out. I was one of these fans, so if his era is over before it begins, I will be extremely disappointed.

- Basketball season is beginning to hit its stride, so I'll have to start counting the days until baseball season. Don't get me wrong, basketball is pretty sweet, but the beginning is hard to watch after football has just ended. Of course NBA is pretty much out of the question, unless I get the rare chance to see my Charlotte Bobs hit the court.

War Eagle!
