We waited an extra three weeks for SEC football to arrive this season, and that’s after not having postseason basketball or baseball to get us through the doldrums of a COVID summer. Now, the final game of the season has arrived just a couple weeks before Christmas, and it feels so bizarre.
The condensed ten-game schedule went by extremely quickly, even with a bye week and a postponement. Auburn would have already been done if Mississippi State hadn’t had a ton of positive tests back in early November, but alas, here we are today.
Based on the mood from Auburn fans over the past couple of weeks — with the Iron Bowl drubbing, and the sour collapse against Texas A&M — many are ready for the season to be over.
