7:17	Brett Dawson - And we're underway.

7:19	RednBlue Admin - Glad to have you with us here at RednBlue Command Central!

7:19	Brett Dawson - A few notes about tonight's chat. First, there's no columnist here, so it's just me, and I'll have to write my newspaper story as we go, so there will be times when I'm away for a while. Comments will be approved from back home at the courier-journal.com offices.

7:19	RednBlue Admin - Thanks for the update. Big question? What about the QB for tonight's game.

7:19	Brett Dawson - Second, it's cold.

7:20

Brett Dawson - UK refuses to make a pregame announcement, but I'm told Morgan Newton will start.

7:21

Brett Dawson - You should see my twitter feed appearing here, as well. If you're on twitter and not following me, I'm @wildcats.

7:27

RednBlue Admin - Cold temps going to have any impact on the game?

7:30

Brett Dawson - You may also see tweets from some Auburn beat writers.

7:31

Brett Dawson - Sorry, had to break for the national anthem. I don't know that the temperature will be a bif factor, but the wind is whipping. That might be an issue.

7:32

RednBlue Admin - Wind was a factor up here in Louisville when the Belle of Louisville steamboat crashed into a barge!

7:33

Brett Dawson - Auburn wins the toss and will receive. We'll have to wait a while for UK's QB.

7:33

Brett Dawson - Have heard from two sources close to the team that it's Newton, but nothing's definitive until he actually takes the field.

7:34

RednBlue Admin - What would Newton bring to the game if he gets the call?

7:35

Brett Dawson - Well, he's got a stronger arm than Hartline, and he's more athletic. Not blazing fast, but big and mobile. He also brings zero experience.

7:36

Brett Dawson - The thing about Newton is, unlike Fidler he has a chance -- a good chance, you'd think -- to be the starter someday. So starting him makes sense despite his lack of experience.
