Auburn football recruiting has taken a hit because of secondary NCAA rules violations during its "Big Cat Weekend" last May. Auburn was temporarily barred from contacting a half-dozen recruits who participated in the event. Assistant coach Trooper Taylor was banned from off-campus recruiting until the end of last month. Other coaches received reprimands. Auburn released the penalties Thursday night in response to open-records requests from media outlets. Coach Gene Chizik said the football program is moving on. The penalties stemmed from a recruiting event in May where recruits participated in the school tradition of toilet-papering Toomer's Corner. Members of the media were on hand. ... Read Full Story

Auburn strong safety Zac Etheridge was released from the hospital Monday, two days after suffering a neck injury against Mississippi.

Just like last year. The difference, the players say, is the team is not divided after following a 5-0 start with three consecutive losses. "This is not last year's team," Auburn defensive end Antonio Coleman said. "It's a whole different team, a whole different scenario. We won't let it go downhill. It's not going to be like last year. We're going to keep our heads up and go out there ... Read Full Story

Toward the end of the third quarter, Auburn scored three touchdowns in about five minutes. That wasn't enough to prevent a swift fall from the Top 25 — or to give coach Gene Chizik much solace. The Tigers were held in check by an improving Arkansas defense, and their unbeaten run ended Saturday with a 44-23 loss to the Razorbacks. By Sunday afternoon, Auburn was unranked again after debuting at No. 17 in the previous poll. "If we're looking for warm and fuzzies ... They didn't quit," Chizik said Sunday. "Nobody quit. Everybody kept playing but it was too little too late. To me, ... Read Full Story

Today, Gene Chizik starts his second year as Auburn's head coach.  The old cliche "What a difference a year makes" does not do the Auburn program justice. I don't have to remind everyone what Auburn was like a year ago.  We all know, and it was an Auburn fan base still in shock over past events.
