Heath Evans, like many Auburn fans and alumni, was disgusted with the Tigers’ performance against LSU on Saturday. The former Auburn fullback, though, seems to be directing much of his frustration at one person in particular: head coach Gus Malzahn. No. 10 Auburn got up 20-0 in the second quarter against LSU, but eventually collapsed and fell 27-23 in Baton Rouge, La. Not helping matters was Malzahn, who made a puzzling decision to go for it on fourth down with over two minutes left in the game, his team trailing and deep in their own territory.

Auburn Football 2011: What About the Rushing Offense This Year?

Unless I hear otherwise I'm calling bull on this one. Auburn's official website is reporting that Michael Waltrip's #15 Toyota will feature an Auburn-themed paint scheme for the April 17 Aaron's 500 at Talladega. The date on the press release being April 1, 2010 makes me a little suspicious. Then again, the press release also reports that Auburn head football coach Gene Chizik will be serving in the role of Grand Marshal for the race. And al.com and the Orlando Sentinel are reporting on the story as fact. So I'm just going to file this under the "I'll believe it when I see it" file. (via Orlando Sentinel, al.com)
