It's Masters week. No time for football. 

But seriously, 

https://auburntigers.com/news/2020/11/9/auburn-at-mississippi-state-football-game-postponed.aspx

The Auburn at Mississippi State football game of November 14 has been postponed due to positive tests and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Mississippi State football program, consistent with Southeastern Conference COVID-19 management requirements. The game has been tentatively rescheduled for Dec. 12.
 
The SEC's COVID-19 management requirements, as developed by the SEC's Return to Activity and Medical Guidance Task Force, are available on SECsports.com. (full report (PDF)).

Did the whole team catch it? Make them play with walk-ons I don't care.

What's our record after a double bye week? 😄

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Hate the fact that we’re off for a second straight week, with no football, but I guess the positive is that it gives us an extra week to get some guys healed up for UT in prime time.

[alexava 6,973]

UT has a ass whooping coming. 

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Pretty sure this won’t happen, but it would be crazy lol

 

[gr82b4au 5,568]

Yep I would be shocked if LSU plays Alabama this weekend.

[AlaskanFAN 1,665]

More time to get ready for UT!!!! I DO NOT want to lose that game.....stupid Pruitt.

[AUwent 3,747]

I’m kinda ok with not playing the rest of the season as long as the buyout drops.

[copper4eva 106]

There's also a possibility that we play another a team. Because this game isn't the only one dropped.

This happened in a previous week already when some games were cancelled:

I don't think Gus is capable of winning another championship at Auburn. But this is just sad.

Ha!

I was wondering if I was the only one thinking this.  My feelings on this is not just about Gus.  The whole season with the half empty stands, no band, the other conferences not playing at the same time.   I suppose what we are getting this year is helping to fill my football fix....but it's like eating spam instead of steak.

If my memory is correct we are undefeated

Nope. Georgia last year.

The LSU win and seeing ND beat Fighting Dabos was enough to quench my football thirst for the year, especially if the vaccine news today holds.

God I hope not. The toothless masses in West Vance will claim this year as a Natty if the season gets called off early and they're sitting at #1.
2017 taught me that they will be insufferable even if they don't beat Auburn on their way to the top...

The question was after a DOUBLE bye.

Minus a bowl game, I don't ever recall one.

Perhaps during WWII? @augolf1716should have vivid memories.

I remember the season well but I didn't remember that.

Saban would never allow that to happen today.

Good let the kids rest, get school work done and come even more prepared for UT. Bigger things in life at the moment.

I wonder which player's first thought was "oh good I can get some classwork done."

Maybe I'll go look through their majors in my boredum.

The one who realizes he is here for more than entertainment usage. People laugh but this is a way out for a lot of these young men. The only time most of them have had the opportunity to have a quality education. Things like this isn’t a joke , especially during the times we are going through now. Another reason why I wish these guys would get paid because some folks think this is just a game when for most this is their last life.

So MSU found enough guys to play VU last Saturday and only won on the scoreboard (where it counts!)....but VU dominated most all stats.  Now they can't scrape together enough to play this weekend?  Maybe with all of the players leaving it's more difficult to find 53?  Maybe you stretch the contact tracing to get under that number.

I'll be surprised if LSU/Bama happens this weekend.  As much as I'd like to see otherwise, Saban will hang 70+ on LSU.  Jones will throw for 600+ and be the clear Heisman front runner.  Coach O better do some contact tracing quickly!
