Jet said...: Hello.; 4:22 PM
Aubie said...: 3; 4:23 PM
Jet said...: Welcome, Coach Jay Boulware.

Now, where's Trooper?; 4:23 PM
Will said...: Jet, what are the most recent DC rumors? Ellis? Herring? Others? I have been following the Troop story and have to believe that he will be on board very soon.; 4:24 PM
tigerfan44 said...: We sure don't look like a racist University now do we Mr. Barkley.; 4:24 PM
Jet said...: Aubie ...

that's pretty cool.

Can't wait to get Jay G. Kaczynski's response.; 4:24 PM
Aubie said...: Thanks.
Picture taken on my recent trip to Gamorrah... er... New Orleans.; 4:26 PM
Jet said...: The name I've seen flying around lately is Ted Roof ... former Duke HC prior to Cutcliffe, ex-DC at Ga. Tech prior to Tenuta, and current DC at Minne-ha-ha.

I'm beginning to believe that Chiz and the boys would rather spend 700k on something other than a buyout.

But I don't know ... just guessing.; 4:26 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: That's pretty funny, Aubie!; 4:26 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Anyone know what the G satnds for?

And give us some detailed info on Coach Boulware.; 4:27 PM
Jet said...: Boulware has coached at Arizona, Stanford, Utah, Northern Illinois and Iowa State.

Recruited Michael Turner to No. Ill. Has coached TEs, RBs and special teams in his past.; 4:28 PM
Aubie said...: Thanks Jay G.
Is it clear that I am a photoshop master?; 4:28 PM
Unknown said...: Another great hire! Welcome Coach and WAR EAGLE; 4:29 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Detailed info?

You mean his chest size, inseam, head circumference?; 4:29 PM
riskman108 said...: http://oklahomastate.scout.com/

TROOOOOOOOOP!!!!; 4:30 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I got Boulware's HABOTN® Curriculum Vitae up ...; 4:30 PM
J. Kev said...: Sweet baby Lord. A full-time special teams coach. "Oh, there's no way I can get this ****ing lucky"

[/Cy Tolliver]; 4:30 PM
riskman108 said...: Jay Oklahoma States Rivals page is saying that Trooper Taylor is going to join the Auburn coaching staff of Gene Chizik. Is it true?; 4:34 PM
Aubie said...: I hope they're right on Super Trooper. Not real sure what "virtually confirms" means?!; 4:34 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: "Virtually confirms" is a weird way to put it.; 4:35 PM
scottiep said...: "Where's the D?"; 4:36 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Their thought is ... he's interviewing on site, must be gone.; 4:36 PM
NoVaTiger said...: If he's in a staff meeting that's probably discussing recruiting, they think he's probably on board. No one has actually stated he is though, hence the "virtually".

We have candidates in our weekly meetings all the time so they can see how we work. I have no idea how it works in sports though.; 4:40 PM
ron mexico said...: it's a pretty good thought, if chizik wants him there is no reason not get him with him coming there in person with his friend luper. If taylor and garner end up at tennessee and we missed out on searles things won't be looking as good for coach chizik. Hopefully he knows that.; 4:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I would assume Coach Luper had a big suitcase on the plane. I hope CTT brought one too.; 4:41 PM
Dear Leader said...: if I were not partially pregnant I would be excited about the news being virtually confirmed; 4:41 PM
riskman108 said...: Virtual Reality?; 4:41 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: I'm virtually here right now.; 4:43 PM
Dear Leader said...: which one of these coaches is going to be able to go to Kansas and get Bryce Brown, now that OC Nix is gone...; 4:47 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Trooper is not a done deal as of this moment.; 4:48 PM
ADP said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 4:50 PM
AUBigCat said...: If these guys are in a staff meeting discussing recruiting I hope they're talking about who is going to Tajh Boyd and Bryce Brown's house first.; 4:51 PM
Unknown said...: Boulware is apparently known as a good recruiter in Texas. So, if we get Troop, should we consider moving Auburn to Texas? Does anyone have an estimate on moving JHS?; 4:53 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: what song?; 4:59 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Through the Fire and Flames on EXPERT.; 5:01 PM
ADP said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 5:01 PM
Emmett said...: Welcome to Coach Boulware, Now all we need is Trooper....then lets throw in Dameyune Craig for good measure; 5:02 PM
AUBigCat said...: Did anyone notice that Ok St has a commit from Deron Furr, younger brother of infamous ex-player Deron Furr? One theory for part of Deron's meltdown was that AU would not offer his little brother. Just an interesting side note.; 5:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: SteveFC-
I vote for Tyler; that way we'd be the same distance from Atlanta, though it would be Atlanta , TX.; 5:05 PM
Unknown said...: I do find it interesting that we will have a coach dedicated to special teams. I consider this a good thing. Coaches blab about how important special teams are to the game, but then they are left as a part time job for some schmuck.; 5:05 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: well, I don't know what you're talking about (and did a quick search to figure it out), but the song "Hallelujah" was written by Leonard Cohen.; 5:06 PM
Unknown said...: I say hire Tony Franklin as media representative. Then, if next season doesn't go so well, we can him half way through.; 5:07 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: He's a dumbass.; 5:08 PM
NoVaTiger said...: Zteve, I think the idea is to move texas to Jordan-Hare.; 5:08 PM
ADP said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 5:09 PM
Unknown said...: Good idea Nova. It might make things a bit simpler.; 5:09 PM
Monica said...: Jay - Read the comments on my Facebook status.; 5:10 PM
NoVaTiger said...: It can be done a half dozen or so players at a time.; 5:11 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: SteveFC-
moving TX to JH is a pretty good idea, but if you go to google maps and search Auburn, TX and look at street view, you'll see there's PLENTY of room for expansion there.; 5:15 PM
Monica said...: I LOVE Google stree view!; 5:16 PM
Unknown said...: I would really like Auburn to get some coaches from the SEC, particularly with Auburn ties. How much can the Big 12 Barbeque Boys help us with recruiting this season?; 5:17 PM
NoVaTiger said...: I bet we get a few of those grain fed plains boys this season.

We've still got the whole defensive side and Willis to cover the south.; 5:21 PM
Unknown said...: I would love to see this staff pull in a couple of new recruits from out west, but we will have to see. It is late in the recruiting game.; 5:23 PM
Unknown said...: I have virtually confirmed that I don't know if Trooper is coming.; 5:27 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Phred - I thought it was another dude who wrote that but now after reading it I realized it was just his version that was popular.

Leonard Cohen.

His is good but Jeff Buckley's brought me to tears during the Katrina coverage.; 5:31 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Phred - Buckley's version is awsome. I have it on a live CD.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=performed+broken+hallelujah; 5:34 PM
ADP said...: I just realized I shouldn't be having this conversation.

Any word on Trooper yet?; 5:38 PM
Monica said...: As soon as Trooper shakes the hand to make the deal he needs to pick up the phone, call Rueben Randle and tell him to change the 1/9 visit he was going to make to OSU to the Plains!; 5:40 PM
Jet said...: I can't believe Howie Long didn't get an Oscar nomination for "Broken Arrow."; 5:42 PM
Kathy said...: Just saw where the Auburn plan left Auburn for Mobile. Maybe Gus was there for the interview.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N20RU; 5:43 PM
michael said...: Jeff Buckley tried to swim the Mississpii River and lost back in the day. Pretty fitting they used his version of Hallelujah during the Katrina coverage.

Also, I am sure Boulware is a wonderful coach, but I was a bit of a let down after seeing the "Another football coach hired" title to the post. Jay, if this whole journalism thing crashed and burns, you could get a job doing the teasers going into commercial for E News Daily or sportscenter (perhaps this is the ESPN job Jay might take?) or something like that. You know, build it up big going into commercial to keep the viewers, but then when the tease is fulfilled you are all like, "Oh, is that it?"; 5:45 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Kathy-
You're AUsome.! Thanks for keeping us updated on the flights.; 5:45 PM
Jet said...: Monica ought to be able to verify Gus' 10-20.; 5:47 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Jay G.
Sorry about your boyz the Wildcats... Louisville hits a three with game tied no time left to win!!; 5:49 PM
Monica said...: Gus was not at the interview.; 5:52 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Kathy,
I'm 10 minutes from Mobile Municipal Airport, should I go the Airport for an Investigative Report!

See what i can see?; 5:52 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Hummm that Flight is headed to Brookly Field Airport Downtown...Damn that's a little farther as i live in west mobile!; 5:55 PM
Kathy said...: I just know the Auburn plane flew from Mobile at 11:00 last night and flew back this afternoon. We flew in 1 new offensive coach today and another potential coach. I woudn't be surprised if Gus did sneak in for the interview. Wouldn't you think he would like to meet the coaches before they head out recruiting? Or it could just be a coincidence!; 5:56 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Kathy,
I think you are on to something....
A little recruiting meeting with HC, OC, RBC and hopefully WRC and then back to Mobile in time for team meeting tonight....

Oh yes CGM was in that meeting today... i bet a $100 he was!; 6:04 PM
Monica said...: Mrs. Malzahn posted on my Facebook at about 5:00 asking me if Trooper was on board. So, I guess that could mean all sorts of things. I'm taking it to mean Gus wasn't there.; 6:08 PM
NoVaTiger said...: Maybe it just means that Gus has been in a meeting and was unable to call her?; 6:09 PM
AUant said...: Any buzz on the OL coach???; 6:09 PM
Monica said...: Like I said it could mean all sorts of things.; 6:10 PM
NoVaTiger said...: Dang, this speculation is getting almost as bad as the HC search,; 6:11 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: I'm kinda creeped out that Gus's wife is facebooking Monica for info.; 6:11 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: I wish i had time to high tail it to the Airport to venture a glimpse and see who gets off the plane!; 6:12 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: PF,
Mon rolls like that!
Ms. Malzahn is her peeps!; 6:13 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: too late!
Plane arrived 12 minutes ago!!!

Damn "Da Gone"!; 6:15 PM
Kathy said...: I would assume that the Mrs. is in Mobile with her husband, so the plane thing is probably just a coincidence. I wouldn't think she would be able to tell anyone the news about the hire until it's official.; 6:15 PM
Monica said...: This from the boy with Sik tattooed inside his lower lip.; 6:15 PM
Monica said...: The Mrs. is in a car driving from Tulsa to Mobile. She asked me because she saw my FB status and wanted to know if an official announcement had been made yet. She was posting from her cell phone.; 6:18 PM
Unknown said...: This coaching thingie is kind of interesting, but I am in show me mode. Until we are able to knock off a major power, like Vandy or Arkansas or something, I am not sold.; 6:18 PM
Denny Crum said...: Jay G,

74-71

Cordially yours; 6:19 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: I caught part of the Damages marathon last night. Think I'm pretty much caught up on the story.; 6:19 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: ouch, denny.; 6:20 PM
Monica said...: lol Denny

Sik, I think I missed a few shows at the very end of last season, but I didn't realize it! I'm hoping they'll show them. I may see if I can find them online.; 6:21 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Denny: 99-1 action that you can't say something nice about me or any entity associated with me.

Come on. Pay me like Arcangues at the 93 Breeders Cup Classic.; 6:30 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Monica, I think it's awesome that you have the hotline to Mrs. Malzahn. Awesome.; 6:31 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Does the special teams coordinator work with kickers, too, or is there a specific kicking coach that does that? Either way, any chance Wes Byrum kicks next year?; 6:34 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Mon.
I love the "Instant Access" you have to the OC's wifey....

I am know your No. 1 Fan....

You Da Girl!!!!; 6:37 PM
astatguy said...: The same Leonard Cohen that wrote "Closing Time" authored "Hallelujah"? If so, that's virtually amazing.; 6:37 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I think there's a 99.9% chance Byrum kicks next year.; 6:37 PM
AUfan said...: I'm confused. Does this mean Jay calls Monica for information?; 6:38 PM
astatguy said...: Well, Jay, then it's virtually certain.; 6:38 PM
Unknown said...: Any chance of any cranial rectal surgery on Byrum during the off season?; 6:39 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Jay G.
Remember my saying "99% Sure"

I like the odds!; 6:39 PM
AUfan said...: Jay, what are the odds that Byrum kicks the ball THROUGH the uprights next year?; 6:39 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: yeah, statguy, same person. He's all over the board. One super talented individual.; 6:40 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: ZFC,
hahahahaha i know... didn't you see

He's scheduled for surgery with DJA on Tuesday to get his Head outta his A$$!!!; 6:41 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: So, back to the coaching question, Boulware coaching kickers as part of being a special teams coach?; 6:41 PM
Monica said...: I don't have instant access. I may be stalkerlicious, but I'm not delusional (much). I added her and then left her alone. She jumped in a couple of conversations between me and my girlfriends on New Years eve. She's seems to be a very fun, nice lady. When she asked me about the Trooper thing I said I'd post it in my status when I knew and I offered her Jay's blog as a source of solid, sourced information.; 6:43 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: astatguy: I'm virtually certain about Byrum, exactly!; 6:46 PM
Kathy said...: Quick trip by the Auburn plane to Mobile. It's now scheduled to return back to Auburn within the hour.; 6:48 PM
RunInRed63 said...: OSU Scout site; 6:50 PM
Anonymous said...: Happy New Year!!

And VICTORY!!!! Woo Hoo!!; 6:51 PM
Dear Leader said...: Wait a minute... how do we know Monica is not Mrs. Malzahn??? Incognito.... and all.; 6:51 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Kathy,
Just enough time to refuel, cool down the jets get a quick bite to eat then back to AU!

Hopefully we get an announcement soon on CTT!; 6:52 PM
Anonymous said...: Sorry Mon!; 6:52 PM
RunInRed63 said...: Monica spends too much time on this site to keep a Mr. Malzahn happy ;); 6:53 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: I know Mon as Mrs. Malzahn has nothing on her....

She is a HOTTIE through n through!

Jay G. you might want to put Mon on your "Sources Close to the Program List"; 6:54 PM
Unknown said...: I have a theory that we are hiring a lot of bald headed black coaches to keep Charles Barkley happy. I don't believe Garner is bald, so he doesn't qualify. So, what bald headed black guy will we hire as the DC?; 6:54 PM
Kathy said...: Auburn officials said there would no more announcements this evening.

It's back to work for me tomorrow. I won't be able to post during the day, but I can lurk. Keep the info coming!; 6:55 PM
Unknown said...: AUnMobilz, it just occurred to me that you would be the perfect hire as a DC. I know you may not have any experience coaching in the SEC, but neither does Tony Franklin and he was at Auburn for half a season.; 6:55 PM
Aubie said...: is chef bald?; 6:56 PM
Dear Leader said...: Not only was he at AU for half a season... he figured out how to get paid for 2 seasons...; 6:56 PM
Unknown said...: Also, I just figured out why I can't get a coaching job. Look at my pic. Where have you seen a coach that looked like that?; 6:57 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ZFC,
I resemble that remark!!!!!

I for one have not problem with the hiring of the Bald Headed Black Coaches Hired....

I feel like i'm becoming part of the program daily... (sniff sniff)
Brings a Tear to my Eye...

Go Coach Chizik get another one of my "Bald Headed Brotheren"

Can't Say War Eagle without Bald!; 6:57 PM
Dear Leader said...: Shave your head and get a charles Barkley face job and your set!!!; 6:58 PM
Monica said...: It's ok AU1 - You should enjoy your victory! I just love ole Chad P.; 6:58 PM
Dear Leader said...: war bald eagle... I like it ... It has a certain ring to it..; 6:58 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: No Freaking way DL....

You want catch me with a Night Crawler in my car!!!; 6:59 PM
Monica said...: Thanks for the support, Mobile. :-); 6:59 PM
Aubie said...: steve, I thought your avatar was Jesus with sunglasses!
That's you?; 6:59 PM
ADP said...: Phred says ... "Things are not always what they appear to be."

This applies to everything.; 7:00 PM
Unknown said...: I could be a great DC. I would use the same pep talk I would give a boxer. Go out there and hit someone. I don't care if it is a teammate, the other team, or the ref, but you better not stop until someone gets hit. Now, go out there and kick some butt.; 7:01 PM
GregD said...: RunInRed... you don't need to worry about Monica's Mr Malzahn - I'm doing just fine and well taken care of.....; 7:01 PM
Anonymous said...: Anybody other than Petey Smith at the UnderArmour game we should watch?; 7:01 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, Aubie, I am afraid that is me, but I haven't parted any what or nothing lately.; 7:01 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Mon,
You know I always got your back!!!

Sorry about Chad P, Ronnie B and the Phins!; 7:01 PM
Unknown said...: Petey Smith, to me, is one of our must gets. If we don't get him, Bama will. With his brother in our backfield, we should have a good shot.; 7:03 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: ZFC,
I agree with Aubie.... you do look like the Master in Sunglasses....

Jesus Christ Superstar!!!!!; 7:04 PM
Anonymous said...: Mobilz - Don't forget about Ben Grubbs and Willie Anderson!; 7:06 PM
Monica said...: ;-)My Greg.; 7:08 PM
Aubie said...: I think it is way cool that Mrs. Gus is "into" this. The fact that she asked Mon about Trooper shows that Gus is excited and she is excited.
AU has needed this infusion of excitement for quite a while!; 7:09 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: AU1,
I was pulling for all the former AU Playas! Congrats to Ravens!!!; 7:11 PM
Anonymous said...: CTT on the TV talking to the new kids. Wearing AU sweats!!; 7:16 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: can you expand on that a little, au1n04?; 7:18 PM
Monica said...: Aubie - LOVE the avatar! ha; 7:18 PM
Monica said...: I saw that too, AU1. ESPN Under Armour high school game, Peter.; 7:19 PM
Monica said...: Peter - it's expound. You may need to know that in an interview.; 7:20 PM
Denny Crum said...: Jay G,

I think Transy is a really cool school and one from which I wished I had graduated. Let's see, I think you are the best sports writer in Alabama. I would say in the business, but Eric Crawford is pretty darn good too. The HABOTN rocks and is the best Auburn blog bar none. You have one of the nicest wives going, she may not remember it, but she helped me out with some emergency day care issues about 6 or 7 years ago and I have never forgotten it. However, even though you have all those sterling qualities and associations, it will still be 74-71 when the sun rises tomorrow.; 7:20 PM
Anonymous said...: On ESPN is the UnderArmour HS All Star Football Game. They just cut to xCoach Tubs, talking to the HS players about recruiting in a room. He was wearing a pair of AU pants.; 7:20 PM
TB said...: Hell gang. Well two days and we are finally back from the land of the mouse. Fun trip but wore us out. Wound up all getting a stomach virus the last day and we had to travel yesterday all sick. Stopped in Valdosta and slept it of.

I like the hires so far. Anybody know if we got any prospects playing at the All-Star game played today at Disney Wide World of Sports Complex??; 7:22 PM
Anonymous said...: Petey Smith LB for Black I think; 7:24 PM
Jet said...: OK ... what's the cryptic talk out there about Kevin Steele?; 7:28 PM
TB said...: I see Terrannce Coleman is back in the committed group according to Rivals.; 7:29 PM
Aubie said...: jet. i heard that too. could that be why there has been no announcement from dabo?; 7:31 PM
Jet said...: If we are in the mode of hiring every great recruiter on the planet ... has any considered as a candidate for position of DC ... former Oklahoma coach and current North Carolina assistant head coach John Blake?; 7:34 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: I wonder what Tubs's involvement is going to be with Auburn football in the coming year(s)...

Is he representing Auburn right now, or does he just really like his old pants?; 7:36 PM
Monica said...: I thought Steele was going to Clemson.; 7:37 PM
Anonymous said...: Wasn't Tubs working with the Prez?; 7:38 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Here comes Arcangues to win it ... in an absolute shocker ... he's 99-1.; 7:39 PM
Aubie said...: steele was supposedly going to clemson and an announcement was expected today... but there was none.
i love conspiracies!; 7:40 PM
Jet said...: MOnica ...

Reported as going to happen, but never announced.

Kinda odd ... remember his brother works at AU, has a child at AU.

I'm not saying it's even a possibility, but the chatter has exploded today.

It would be a coup beyond all coups.; 7:40 PM
Monica said...: I love coups.; 7:50 PM
Kathy said...: OK, I feel like I'm the plane stalker! The Auburn plane will fly to Stillwater, OK tonight after it returns to Auburn from Mobile. Hopefully Trooper is going back to put in his resignation papers.; 7:54 PM
ron mexico said...: Kevin steele has been running a 3-4 at alabama the past two seasons. Chizik is a 4-3 guy. Chizik knows defense and i'm confident he'll hire someone who also knows defense as the DC. We don't need a good recruiter at DC we need an X's and O's guy.; 7:55 PM
Jet said...: Get the family and get outta Stillwater.; 7:56 PM
Kathy said...: I heard they that are waiting to get the background check on Steele?; 7:56 PM
ron mexico said...: the night before recruiting opens back up? i would think he would stay in auburn if he's accepted the job.; 7:57 PM
Jet said...: Ron ...

It all adds up to 7 ... let's find the best 7 and get them on the field and find 7 more to back 'em up. Everybody's multiple these days anyway.

I get the feeling that Chiz will be heavily involved in the defensive planning, particularly if it's someone like a Steele.

That doesn't bother me.; 7:58 PM
Kathy said...: He probably wants to tell his players that he is leaving. Gus won't be there until Wednesday for recruiting. I'm going to remain positive......for now!; 8:01 PM
ron mexico said...: Chizik never showed multiple fronts at Auburn or Texas. The defense Alabama has run the past two seasons couldn't be farther away from what chizik runs. Steele runs a 3-4 with bigger athletes and plays alot of man on the outside. Chizik runs 4-3 with smaller quicker athletes and runs cover 2 most of the of the time. It doesn't add up to me.; 8:03 PM
TB said...: I am really pumped at how things are shaping up. The days coming up to signing day are going to be interesting.; 8:03 PM
Monica said...: So, I hear Trooper met with Gus in Mobile tonight.; 8:16 PM
Kathy said...: I read where Trooper met with Malzahn tonight, so I guess he was the one who flew to Mobile. He will return to Stillwater tonight. Guess Luper will be with him.; 8:16 PM
Aubie said...: Ron,
Quit letting facts get in the way of a good rumor!; 8:17 PM
TB said...: So why meet in Mobile?; 8:18 PM
Aubie said...: Monie,
Did you "hear" that from your new BFF?; 8:18 PM
Monica said...: Gus is in Mobile with Tulsa for the GMAC bowl.; 8:18 PM
Aubie said...: TB,
That's where Malzahn is... GMAC Bowl; 8:19 PM
TB said...: Dugh,, sorry.. Brain Drain from traveling. Thanks; 8:20 PM
Kathy said...: Monica, you and I must be reading the same sites!; 8:21 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: TB,
I mean why not meet in Mobilz?

Hell I'm here enuff said!!!!; 8:22 PM
FSJ said...: Do we really know what kind of defense Steele runs since Saban is the de facto defensive coordinator?; 8:24 PM
TB said...: I'm sure AU,,, just thinking there was some kind of conspiracy going on. I was reading on another site that a kid at the All-Star game in Orlando reopened his visitations after hearing CTT speak. Supposed to be a hot shot DB out of Valdosta.; 8:26 PM
Anonymous said...: Look at Mon on a first name basis with Gus!! I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!!; 8:26 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm glad to have Mon on board as a HABOTN associate.; 8:28 PM
nolaman123 said...: Is Boulware going to coach TEs as well? I haven't seen a college coach who is just a special teams coordinator though I haven't researched this extensively.

Is that something that happens often?; 8:32 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: It's unusual, yes.; 8:33 PM
Monica said...: It's just easier to type Gus.; 8:33 PM
coosa said...: Hello to all the Hotties! Sorry I haven't posted anything lately, but I've been entertaining family for the past 2 weeks. I found that I could talk to them, watch football, and read the HABOTN all at the same time, but I couldn't do all of that and post too. Everybody is gone now and its back to just me and Ma and the dogs.

Look like Chiz is making some good hires. Also, I think Jay should make Monica paid staff now, considering all the insider info that she has.

I sure did hate to see an SEC team lose to Utah. Well, maybe I can live with it. ;); 8:34 PM
Aubie said...: Jay G,
Where were your "hack" brethren after the staff meeting? Shouldn't they have been hanging around outside nonchalantly reading the newspaper?; 8:36 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I don't have an answer for that.

I will say: Going after position coaches paparazzi-style is a bit much. You know what I mean?

Hanging at the airport is one thing. Hot-boxing people at a meeting is a whole different level.; 8:42 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: TB, That would be No. 24 in Black CB Greg Reid.... AU is going to be on his visit list!; 8:43 PM
Aubie said...: So the AU plane is scheduled to depart Mobile in 2 minutes, headed to Auburn.
Shortly after arriving in Auburn, it is scheduled to go back to Stillwater.
So I'm thinking Chiz made the trip down to Mobile with Trooper to meet with Guz. Headed back to AU to drop off Chiz before taking Trooper home.; 8:43 PM
TB said...: AU he seems to be impressive player. Hopefully we can sell him on our program.; 8:46 PM
