In anticipation of tomorrow's SEC championship battle between South Carolina and Auburn, we asked Rasputin, our staff soothsayer and a seemingly ageless Russian immigrant, to offer his prediction for the game. Rasputin - who has been banned from numerous golf courses throughout the Southeast for drunkenly harassing the 'Ol Ball Coach - has been a rabid Razorback football fan since the program's debut in 1894.
His forecast is after the jump:
"A New Year's trip to New Orleans - oh this I long to take,
In the land of voodoo and spirits, much merriment would I make!
But something must first happen in busy Atlanta town,
Cam and the Auburn Tigers must take the SEC crown!
Their opponent has a wily coach - and resourceful he doth be,
and Chizik's lack of sideburns creates much anxiety in me!
Points will be aplenty, and our nerves will remain quite tight,
In the land of voodoo and spirits, much merriment would I make!
But something must first happen in busy Atlanta town,
Cam and the Auburn Tigers must take the SEC crown!
Their opponent has a wily coach - and resourceful he doth be,
and Chizik's lack of sideburns creates much anxiety in me!
Points will be aplenty, and our nerves will remain quite tight,
But we and the Tiger fans will be happy come early Saturday night.
The mighty warriors of Auburn - 41,
the spirited warriors of South Carolina - 38."
The mighty warriors of Auburn - 41,
the spirited warriors of South Carolina - 38."
