Yes, it’s that time of year again.

Everybody wave to Lucas Hargrove. He promises to be a big factor for the Tigers, who were picked to finish last in the SEC West by the media and coaches.

They open their 2009-10 campaign tonight with an exhibition game against Miles College.

In our advance for today’s newspaper, we talked about the new guys. The three freshmen—Rob Chubb, Andre Malone and Earnest Ross—aren’t expected to do too many things, but get used to hearing about Kenny Gabriel and Tony Neysmith. Those two will have to contribute if Auburn is going to prove the majority wrong for a second consecutive year.

If you’re not checking out some of the great high school football around Lee County tonight, we recommend stopping by The Beave for this one. Admission is free and, hey, this will mark the last-ever exhibition game at the 40-year-old building.

That’s got to be worth something.
