I hope that's not what we think it is on Auburn's sideline

By Matt Hinton

Calling all Georgia and/or Auburn fans! If you were seated behind the Tigers' bench during Saturday night's game in Sanford Stadium, perhaps you can help clarify whether or not this is, in fact, what it looks like:

Because the proprietor of the blog You Are What You Eat ... Or Reheat is reasonably certain it's a portable bathroom rigged up by Auburn staff, and also that it is disgusting. Hard to argue, if true: Sideline bathroom breaks are unprecedented in the modern game, to my knowledge, which is why you see players occasionally trotting into the tunnel for no apparent reason. In ye olde days of Nagurski, perhaps, and I'm sure Terry Bradshaw attempted it at least once. But I doubt it was anticipated by the bigwigs who put together the SEC's massive TV deal.

Having played and endured most of the game's many potential indignities on a much lower level, however, I'll only add this: It beats the bottom of a pile-up.

Hat tip: EDSBS. Dr. Saturday apologizes profusely to No. 93, Mike Blanc, who we're certain is an extraordinarily intelligent, well-mannered, obsessively hygienic young man captured on camera in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing personal, Mike! (Don't hurt me!)

    Trust me, it was a bathroom. One of the players was gracious enough to show off his little bag of goodies.

    Maybe if they were more concerned with winning the football game, and less concerned with being lazy and walking to a portable bathroom on the sideline.....

    I'm not sure this is a big deal. I'm sure Uga is much less particular where he leaves his souvenirs on the Sanford Stadium sideline. Ditto for Smokey at Tennessee. Then FSU and USC have Renegade and Traveller galloping out ONTO the field during the pregame festivities. And I don't even want to think about the Sooner Schooner....

    Wouldn't it be more appropriate to decorate the toilet with the opposing team's logo??

    That is about what I would expect from Auburn. We are talking about a program that celebrates victories by rolling their own town with toilet paper.

    Matt H--I don't understand the point your trying to make. I guess I'm just a dumb Southerner, but I don't get the "typical" remark. Could you please elaborate? PS. Since you're obviously smarter than anyone from the South, I almost feel embarrassed to point this out, but you capitalize the word South. I guess grammatical errors are "typical" in your neck of the woods.

    A couple of players have still been getting the flu. Maybe it was the only option.
