The summer was a blur, and this entire football season has been that way, too. Pretty soon I’m gonna look up and be shocked that Auburn is already playing SEC basketball games.

Perhaps it’s that rapidly approaching finality of the 2021 season, mixed with the start of a basketball season that will grab most Auburn fans’ attentions, that created the tone of this week’s mailbag.
