There’s a great moment in Episode 1 of the incredible HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers” where Lieutenants Nixon and Winters are discussing Captain Sobel’s instruction to “find some” infractions by six men in the company and give them latrine duty. When Nixon asks Winters how he decided on those six, Winters replies “it was their turn”. That’s how I feel about this week’s postponed game against Mississippi State. Auburn had been lucky to this point, but this was just our turn. So it goes.
Sadly, there are three other games that also got dropped for the week, creating a giant scheduling nightmare for LSU (who have now had games against Alabama and Florida postponed) and no more room for error for several others.
