It’s the second Thursday of the month, so what better time to whip out my Magic Eight Ball and ask it a few “yes or no” questions.This month’s set of questions came to me via e-mail and Facebook. Below you’ll find the unedited questions and answers to the questions that I asked my Magic Eight Ball on Monday.
Josh asked: Will Auburn fire Ted Roof?
Answer: No way!
Laniebell asked: Will Alabama win the National Championship?
Answer: Ask again later.
Later, Gilbert asked: Will Alabama beat LSU by anything less than completely nastily?
Answer: Definitely.

With that said, I guess I’ll give my old Eight Ball a rest for a few weeks and close this thing out until the second Thursday in January.
In the meantime, if you’ve got a question you want me to ask my Magic Eight Ball, e-mail it to me at courantsports@earthlink.net, and I’ll publish the answers in the Jan. 12 edition of The Courant.
