They keep talking about what next week's big upset will be and showing clips of Auburn. I hope they show clips of us.

Yep. Herbie mentioned us. Said Auburn should watch out for us. Also, stated that with each day that goes by our chances of winning diminish because the media keeps mentioning us and telling them to watch out for us.

Mentioned Grothe and showed some clips of the WV game last year.

Herbie just mentioned us saying that Auburn is the team most likely to be upset by an opponent outside the top 25. Also said that because everyone keeps talking about us Auburn is much more aware of who we are.

Auburn fans might be more aware, but Tuberville isn't more aware due to any talk.  He already knows who we are are, who Leavitt is, and nothing is changing just based on publicity.

Yup.

I expect Auburn to come out breathing fire because they feel disrespected by a decent amount of media picking us to upest them in a night game at their house.  I think they havent lost a night home game in 4-5 years if my memory serves me right.  If we come out flat or dont start well its going to be a very long night.

He doesn't really even need to do that .... The players watch all these national sports shows. They've got to be getting more and more pissed about all this .... I would.

I am glad they know we are coming... I like the idea that we are no longer a surprising team... When we pull the win off we will do it as a well coached and talented team... BTW Auburn still has much more to lose than we do, and they have many young guys on both sides of the ball... After watching their game they sub quite a bit on defense, I think our spread will wear them down... I also think that if we go in leading the fourth quarter we may go to that 3 back thing and run the ball down their throats.  Finally I think we have prepared for this game for 6 months, I think Auburn with their tougher opening opponent has prepared for this one for a week..

Does the same go the other way? Doesn't all this hype pump up our players?

No, quite the opposite.

They start believing the hype... like they already have the game won.
