This is the perfect time for a rat poison talk.
Auburn is taking the weekend off before traveling to Texas A&M. Alabama is taking Saturday off before Coach O's team visits Tuscaloosa.
During an open date, all is good.
As the rat poison flies, we are assuming of course you follow college football and know about Nick Saban's rat poison rant a couple weeks back. I have not checked with local pest control companies to check whether their rat poison sales have increased, because we're not talking about that kind of rat poison.
We're talking about -- and we can only attempt to translate what Coach Rant ranted -- how the media builds up a particular player or particular team or plays down some team Coach Rant thinks is not really fair.
