Six in a row. This Auburn Tiger team is breathing rare air these days. This is only the fifth Auburn team since 1996 to have a six-game winning streak. At the beginning of the year, how many of us thought this team would be in the same class as 2013, 2010, 2004, and 1997? I know I didn’t.
This week is different than the last few weeks. This is Georgia week. The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry has been played since 1891 and has taken a turn for the hateful in the last few years. When I first came to Auburn as a Freshman back in 2004, the Georgia game was described to me as a “friendly rivalry” or something like brotherly competition.
