War Chicken?

I just read an interesting little nugget of sports info that makes one well known football program a joke. Auburn likes to use the War eagle cry and yet, I think it should be War Chicken. Now before you think that I am railing on Auburn just because I married a woman of the Roll Tide persuasion this is what I just read on espn.com. Tonight's Auburn loss at West Virginia was their first non conference road game since 2003. What? I want to know if there is any other team in the country that can "boast" something that pathetic. Even David Letterman leaves his home more than that! What a joke. I think this makes Auburn's recent success a fraud. Yes, the SEC is a brutal conference to play in, but this reeks of arrogance and fear. You may not have to win non conference road games to be legit, but you certainly have to play them. Shame on you Auburn that it took this long, and I bet after your second half no show tonight if you have any more non conference road games scheduled in the next five years the athletic director is on the phone first thing in the morning trying to beg off. War Chicken indeed.
