What’s up! My name is Gunner Norene and I like to write sports articles! I’m currently a freshman at Auburn University majoring in Journalism. I’m also a writer for the Auburn Plainsman, the student newspaper here at Auburn. I’ve had this blog for about 10 years, but lost most of my articles when I rebooted the website.

Last One, Best One – 2024 College Football Playoff

Boy, oh boy. To say we were entertained by the slate of College Football Playoff games on New Year’s Day is a complete understatement. I’m always excited for the playoff, obviously, because it’s the pinnacle of the college football season. For the past 9 years, the four-team playoff has been the most highly sought-after goal of any power 5 football program… an expectation more realistic for some than others… and...
2024 Way-Too-Early Auburn Football Predictions

We are about midway through the 2023 college football season, and the Auburn Tigers are standing at 3-2 overall and 0-2 in the SEC.

The Tigers’ 27-10 loss in College Station was nothing short of disappointing, as Auburn didn’t score an offensive touchdown, let alone even get into the redzone once. The passing...
Auburn @ California Prediction (a month late)

**I wrote this article on the plane en route to Cal Berkeley ahead of the Tigers’ week 2 matchup with the Golden Bears in early September, but never got around to posting it. It’s safe to say my prediction was off (everyone’s was)… but here it is: After Auburn’s 59-14 win over UMass last Saturday, it’s safe to say the Auburn family is hopeful. 88,000+ fans showed up and and...
