Back in August, Arkansas-Auburn was one of those can't-miss games. Not just in SEC territory. No, this was a game many figured would count as sort of a playoff-type game for the SEC Western Division when it came to the conference championship game in Atlanta.
We were excited about the thought of two teams with completely different styles and two coaches who just love to take an occasional dig at one another, crashing into each other with animosity and promise in the air.
(Sigh)
Those were the days. And we thought we knew who they were then.
