News of the day, 9/28

Hey everyone. You know how Fridays go. The team is headed toward Gainesville (to Ocala, actually) and will hold a short walkthrough this afternoon. Not much going on. I'm headed down through Albany and Valdosta, so wave if you see me and trusty columnist Josh Moon rolling in our sweet rental car. It's the only time of year I drive a Pontiac. You know what I mean?

I like getting chili at the Longhorn in Tifton, Ga. This trip makes that possible.

We are gracious that you chose this, the HOTTEST Auburn blog on the 'net, as one of your destinations for fresh AU information.

One of the HOTTIES, Scottie B. from Tennessee, attended the Tennessee JV vs. Hargrave game last night. Auburn commitment/re-signee Enrique Davis didn't play, presumably because of injury. Neither did DT Tim Lamb, who also signed with Auburn last season. The third Auburn/Hargrave connection, OL Jermaine Johnson, started and played most of the game.

I saw this AOL fan blog yesterday, which tried to rip Pat Sims for some wild Tim Tebow prognostications. I was two feet from Sims as this interview progressed. He wasn't promising to hurt Tebow. He never said that. Nobody wrote that. Sims is a pretty intense player, no doubt, but he was just messin' around during a question about Ole Miss' inability to stop Tebow. Why does everything everybody says have to be some incendiary reference? Also, Sims is a pretty cold-blooded dude. I think he backs up a good percentage of the legitimate trash he talks. FanBoy might think Sims is worth a "[yawn]." I doubt Florida feels the same way.
