Auburn update, 8/22

Hey everyone. In Wednesday's editions of the Advertiser, I wrote a story about S Aairon Savage. At one point in the story, I quoted CB Jonathan Wilhite saying that Savage laid a particularly nasty hit on Tre Smith in the A-Day game.

I didn't see the A-Day game due to a prior commitment, so I decided to ask Tre about the tackle. I really like Tre. He's funny and self-effacing and glad to be Tre Smith. If that makes sense.

Anyway, here's what Tre said about Savage's "big A-Day hit."


Me: I heard that hit Savage laid on you was rough.
TRE: Rough? Try late.

Me: So what happened?
TRE:(Laughs) Here's what happened. I was running a crossing route and the ball was way overthrown. Mix couldn't catch this pass. I stretched for it. Everybody in the stadium knew I didn't have a chance to catch that ball. So I land after the jump, I take two more steps and boom. I'm down. I look up and it's Savage standing there. I think he was shocked about how hard that hit was. We're talking helmet-to-helmet, vicious stuff. He said he was sorry. That's all I remember him saying. I mean, they threw a flag there. In a spring game, no less. You know it's bad.

Me: Yea, but can Savage hit?
TRE: It's pretty clear he can hit. It might be nice for him to do it when there's a live play going on.

**EDIT: When Tre made the reference to Mix, he was just saying that because Mix was a tall receiver.

Auburn update, 8/20

Hey everyone.

One thing on my mind today. I filled up my car in Montgomery at $2.66/gal. today. I roll into Auburn a few hours later and I see gas at $2.89/gal ... and $2.95.

Lesson: Don't buy gas in Auburn. Ever. It's a racket.
