It's Game Week!

By now I'm sure you've gained five pounds, wondered why you spent so much money and have vowed to do it all differently next year. Snap out of it. It's game week and Auburn needs you with your head screwed on straight.

We are seven days away from kick-off of this week's game with Wisconsin. Don't let anyone tell you the Capital One bowl is not important. We've got an opportunity to win 10 games and finish in the top 5 for the second consecutive year.

A win next Monday and Auburn joins the elite of college football. I know what you are thinking. We are already there. We won 13 games last year. I'm talking about joining the elite who are there each and every year - the teams that finish consistently in the top 10.

Auburn's future has never looked brighter. The Tigers will be a preseason top 10 team next year. Our recruiting class looks to be one of the best ever. We need to win next Monday.

Don't think 10 wins doesn't make a difference heading to the off season. It's a lot easier going through winter workouts and spring practice when you have won your last one.

So put the tree up and pack up the decorations. It's game week and it's the last one for a long time. If you are headed to Orlando, below is a schedule of events taking place this week. It should be a good time...
