Monday chatter
Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning in Sunday. We had a great day in terms of traffic and it's clear that chasing down recruits on Sunday morning is worthwhile to the HOTTIES.
To paraphrase Brandon Moore: If you're comfortable, I'm comfortable.
I provided the newspaper-style information yesterday. Here are my bloggish insights ... coming from someone who doesn't follow recruiting most of the time.
I'll complete the weekend roll call later.
To paraphrase Brandon Moore: If you're comfortable, I'm comfortable.
I provided the newspaper-style information yesterday. Here are my bloggish insights ... coming from someone who doesn't follow recruiting most of the time.
- John Sullen, OL from Auburn High: Very pleasant, easy-going fellow. He smiles a lot. He was very excited to have gotten his Auburn offer last week and was equally geeked about telling Gene Chizik of his plan to join the Tigers. Sullen's parents were cheery and nice. I like the whole family.
- Anthony Gulley, WR from Brantley: Very country. I initially was surprised to see Gulley paired up with Ryan Pugh and Lee Ziemba last weekend. Then I met Gulley. He's very country. Shy kid, very quiet. He really likes baseball, too, and seems eager to play both football and baseball at Auburn. He's a shortstop by trade. Gulley also can play centerfield.
- Nosa Eguae, DE from suburban Dallas/Ft. Worth: I was really intrigued with this kid. He's the opposite of shy, but he's not a jabberer. He's a confident fellow. My guess is that he will sign with Auburn. Eguae (pronounced "E-gway") committed to Colorado at one point. He later de-committed. He seemed to feel remorseful about doing that, which may explain why he didn't commit to Auburn this weekend. Dee Ford, an Auburn commitment, told reporters that Eguae had committed. It's clear that Eguae was talking about it during the weekend. Ultimately, Eguay left for Texas without making a firm decision.
- Emory Blake, WR from Austin, Texas: Reminded me of Kodi Burns, who was Blake's player host. Blake is a calm guy, very calculating with his words. He is just now warming to the Auburn idea after narrowing his initial list to Texas Tech and Colorado. My guess is that he won't sign with Auburn, but he's at least interested. Blake is all business.
- Brandon Moore, DL from Montgomery: It's clear that he left the Athletic Complex with plans to be diplomatic around reporters. That didn't last long. He basically trashed Auburn for not having a full coaching staff -- Auburn has more coaches than Alabama right now -- and did little to dispel speculation that he'll be choosing between Florida and Alabama. He wants to play defense, though many schools see him as an offensive lineman. He looks like an OT to me.
I'll complete the weekend roll call later.

JGT- don't say I didn't warn you
HA HA!!
oops, my bad Mon; I should have been asking "anon"
Gossip Girl is not my idea of hawt, but that's just me.
Gossip Girl is an American television teen drama inspired by the popular novel series of the same name, written by Cecily von Ziegesar. Gossip Girl revolves around the lives of socialite teenagers growing up on New York City's Upper East Side who attend elite academic institutions while dealing with sex, drugs, jealousy, and other issues.
that's from Wikipedia. It's on CW which I've never heard of. I'm going to pass on that one.
The "CW" name is derived from the first letter of the names of these corporations (CBS and Warner Brothers). The network features a lineup of shows that, according to its President of Entertainment Dawn Ostroff, "appeal to women 18 to 34-years-old."
Monica- you're supposed to be watching CW.
smooooooth, Tar baby...
I feel like a bammer... I just gave my wife a black eye.
Literally or metaphorically? And if literally why are you here talking about it?
You got some splainin' to do.
I only watch a few network shows, mainly to help ensure marital bliss. I enjoy the monday night CBS sitcoms and I abuse Gray's Anatomy and Housewives when watching with wifey. Anything else is politics, history and sports.
ummm.... we were wrestling, and as I was trying to get up, she leaned up and ... elbow meet eyeball...
Miller- tell her she's lucky. I almost broke a girl's neck in college... and she still married me.
ahhh a war injury - hate when that happens
I would never wrestle Mrs THT. She doesn't fight fair. And she doesn't lose.
she's gonna be walking around on campus tomorrow looking like she got the crap beat out of her...
it started swelling up immediately...
My guilty pleasure- Big Love on HBO. Subject matter is touchy, but an excellent drama. Not for family viewing, of course.
ooooo Love Big Love, too, depressed
Wrestling, oh to be young again.
You guys and gals caused me to think about my viewing habits...
The shows I watch or have watched until recently....
Boston Legal (ABC was stupid for cancelling this show)
Two & One-Half Men
The Office
Reruns I love and will watch if I am still long enough:
Cheers
Fraiser
Seinfeld
The Jeffersons
Sanford and Son
Occasionally I'll watch these reality shows:
Deadliest Catch
Flippin Out--this show is a trip
And I am a political junkie...so I watch the main MSNBC and FoxNews shows if nothing else is one.
I can't tell you the last time I watched local or Big 3 News...
I also read about five newspapers each day. One in print. The rest online.
Mostly I am a HABOTN junkie though.
THT.....we are about to enter the football dead period at the HABOTN. Go look at the archives...guitar hero, movies and TV talk were the general discussion last season.
The post count will predictably drop off and we will have to rejoin the other areas our lives that have been going on without us.
Sorry about the length of the post above...
Hoopie- I'm going to have to "re-enter society"? I CAN'T DO IT!
FSJ- Frasier is fabulous, 2 episodes every night 12-1 a.m. on "Channel 33" I don't even know what network that is, but it's one click up from SportsCenter on my cable.
FSJ......I forgot about BL ....DENNY CRANE!.....cigars and scotch on the balcony.
My new avatar looks mild, meek, and petite. But trust me, you don't want to wrassle with her.
Happy Robert E. Lee day everyone.
So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained.
General Robert E. Lee, May 1, 1870
"He was a foe without hate; a friend without treachery; a soldier without cruelty; a victor without oppression, and a victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without wrong; a neighbor without reproach; a Christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile. He was a Caesar, without his ambition; Frederick, without his tyranny; Napoleon, without his selfishness, and Washington, without his reward.”

Boston Legal ... outstanding ... my former personal trainer had a bit part in the episode where Denny was taken hostage and the had the trial with the flashbacks.
Big Bang, How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men are the only shows I watch.
The rest is sports and news.
And HABOTN ... and my wife doesn't understand the lure of HABOTN. Of course, she remembers such characters as J-Z and Gatiger and she is afraid. Very afraid.
On the good news front, I convinced her to watch The Godfather and The Godfather Part II and she loved them. There is hope.
Jet ...I'm thinkin' you must have the Godfather series on DVD
Denny Crane....American Hero!!!
Jet...Took Mrs. JZ to see Defiance this weekend. Highly recommend it.
Miller -unicorn line was good stuff. About the black eye. Don't feel bad. I remembered a "wrestling" accident It involved falling out of the shower and setting the bathroom on fire. So, see, it could have been worse.
Hoopie ... yes.
On the day before Easter when my daughter was 3, I laid down with her to get her to take a nap ... when I woke up, I forget she was in the bed with me and raised my arms to yawn and stretch and I elbowed her in the eye ... made for wonderful Easter picture ... my sweetie with a black eye.
Wild 3 Blackhawks 1 after 2 periods. Y'all were afraid I wasn't going to give any updates?
Jet - thanks for the mention. She may be afraid, but I bet she had fun at some of those parties. You may have belted your daughter, but I ran over mine with a golf cart.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Oh yeah, Boston Legal is/was da bomb. When not watching football, golf, etc, I'm on Discovery a good bit along with some news. There ain't much to choose from when you're on the treadmill between 4-5 in the morning.
anybody up for a bowl of ice cream?
Gatiger ... if we're telling golf stories ... well, I'm not the one to play golf with (preposition ender, sorry) ... someone might end up hurt.
I ran over my son with a shopping cart last night. Does that count?
Tar ... I could really go for a bowl of vanilla with some chocolate syrup.
Hoopie,
In my opinion, Denny Crane (especially the Denny Crane of the last episodes of "The Practice" and the first two seasons of BL) is one of the great characters of all time.
They kinda boxed him in the last couple of seasons, but the first two were top notch.
Mrs. FSJ doesn't get HABOTN either...
I am treating this as a character flaw on her part.
Jet- come on over. I'll scoop it out.
Pretend lottery on when/where N20RU will go next? The boring answer would be straight back to AU tomorrow morning. Any guesses?
Will- why does guess have a "u"?
screw all this car tax stuff and bills I'm supposed to be working on. It's officially ice cream time. The rest can wait until after signing day.
Okay, another golf story - I killed a duck on #17 at what was then Kolomi.
Ok...just learned that DirecTV is giving me Cinemax for free too. What the heck...
Looking at the lineup of shows...they need to just go ahead and rename it Skinemax.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
My wife dismissively calls it HOT-BOTN. She laughs at my shirt. Of course, I've locked her out of the house ... it's probably 35 outside with 25 with the wind chill.
She'll be wanting a HOT-BOTN soon enough.
I am the man of this house.
Jet - she must be thankful then for the global warming. Without it, she'd REALLY be cold.
OK ... the truth is she went to bed, and I slithered to the other side of the house to HABOTN until she catches me ... so if I leave abruptly, you'll know what happened.
I am pathetic.
HOT BOTN...(smirk)
It's Climate Change... sheesh..
I thought it was Gore-Nography
So...is everybody pretty certain that Koonz is going to coach the secondary?
ahhh the things I don't miss about Alabama
Where is Eddie? We could use his Koonz input.
Koonz makes the most sense in that he's available and you can keep him on hold until after Signing Day ... no need to insert someone else into the recruiting mix. If Lolley's giving out his adverbs ... let him keep on until Signing Day, then bring in Koonz. At least that's what it looks like to me.
Is anyone else sick of hearing about this month long inauguration?...
So says the First Lady of West Virginia!
Good night Hotties.
Later, gatiger.
So... who's gonna be our Griff for the DB coach?
I'm not sick of hearing about it, Miller. I'm excited about it.
In this regard WV years ahead of Alabama.
In what regard, Mon?
BTW ... Turbo Prop is in DC with 18 others from his school ... I figure he'll come him a flaming Democrat or the most conservative Republican on the face of the earth. Moderation is not in his DNA ... hence his return of a recruiting letter to UAT with a nasty note.
Anthony Bourdain in DC is fun.
what regard Mon?
Me neither Mon. Daughter and I have been enjoying all inauguration coverage.
I have no further comment on the subject as we are not supposed to talk politics.
Same here, Kathy. Well, except I have no daughter.
Monica - Never say you are excited about a Democratic becoming the President on a forum full of Alabama folks, you're just asking for an explosion...Sort of like having the alias "barkley for governor".
Democrat*
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.
for the record... as I am curious as to what is being implied...
I have no problem and feel lucky to be living in this day and time when history such as what we're witnessing can take place. I wish it wasn't as big of a deal as it is (meaning things should have changed long long ago).
I just think that the inauguration is being overhyped and played up to be a celebrity party rather than the political importance that it is. The politics are being overshadowed by celebrity.
Looks like Petey Smith is visiting this weekend.
I am an R ... I voted for my party's nominee in the primary and the general election ... I agree with Miller than it's getting a little too celebrity-ish out there ... particularly in these tough economic times ... but the President-Elect is in my prayers and he has my support.
Miller - You asked a question and I answered it. I disagree with you. That's all.
We're definitley spending way too much money on the whole celebration. Those dollars could be put to something useful, like new facilities for Auburn, and Escalades for players like Julio.
Barkley ... once again, we disagree ... we need the money for escalades, too.
Back to football....
I heard some chatter about Petey Smith on here earlier. I think someone was hinting that folks are starting to back off of him. Anyone know anything else about this?
Barkley - Did you get moved?
Will, Jay mentioned that it looked like Auburn and Alabama were losing interest in Petey, but I see where he is visiting Auburn this weekend.
Sure did Mon, thanks for asking. I'm in the greatest city in the world now---Montgomery.
One big problem though.. My new job blocks access to the HABOTN. =(
Monica ... I think you have a new career awaiting you when you return home -- as a HABOTN/Workplace Advocate.
WarEagleRK if you're out there - Thought of you when Greg shared this with me.
http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=63686946856&h=6B0rt&u=L_vDX
Jet - I'll add that to the list...
I think I want to learn to play the electric guitar. That would be cool, huh?
But if you're truly committed to living on the edge, maybe you could be our shadow recruiting coordinator.
only intresting game of the NBA season so far for me
Jet:
Isn't that what Rivals and Scout are for?
If I were/am you wouldn't know it.
Who is playing jhag?
Ashamed to say that I don't pay attention to the NBA or any professional sport until the playoffs.
Kobe-Lebron, the best in the world right now.
Neither could hold MJ's jock...
What happened to the Lakers last year was wonderful. It shut up all the folks saying that Kobe was in the same league and maybe better (Phil Jackson on the weed again I see) than MJ.
I don't think Kobe is better, but he's definitely earned the right to be in the conversation imo. Lebron will be there soon, he's not even close to reaching his peak, it's scary.
Gus and Trooper visited Emory Blake tonight. 2 hours. I'd like to get that kid.
Anyone have info on how the visit went with LaDarius Perkins? This guy looks exciting. Hope he comes back to us.
I'd sure like to get Bryce Brown. Pay him whatever it takes.
Monday night music
Damien Rice - Delicate
Sponge checking in.
I would like to get any reciever taller than 5'10"
Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks
I'm 5'11, maybe I should try out.
Sponge just soaked in not one, but two ice cream sandwiches. Man, how do they make those things so gooood.
Barkley, I thought you were chillin downtown, lookin for some action. Ooops, sorry, that was THE Barkley.
I'm 6'2" I should be a lock for a WR slot.
Now I really want a ice cream sandwich
Perkins looks like a Miss State fella.
No word on how the meeting with Perkins went, no.
Hoopie is right: Last summer was pretty doggone slow. We'll have to figure something out in 2009. I'll be attending a lot of summer workouts, which will made a difference.
Still, it's summer. Kids are out of school, which means Auburn is not exactly happenin'.
If you can shoot free throws, you could double as wideout, pointguard.
PMarsh says Petey Smith is visiting this weekend ... so I'll be able to ask him directly about this alleged (possible) dilution of interest.
Jay G ...
Anything to the Durst leaving chatter on Scout?
IF he makes free throws, then he is absolutely unqualified to be a point guard at Auburn.
Jay, why do you think we all of a sudden are having trouble getting a quality RB? With our history? We have no one, and I don't think we are recruiting anyone, that can take over the game, take it to the house.
Sponge, I actually am a pretty decent free throw shooter. Unfortunately, my ball handling/shooting in traffic/defense/passing is kinda sketchy.
All of the 8 year old girls I coached a couple years ago thought I was pretty good though.
Jet. It's puzzling to me that we have a former North Carolina guard as a head coach, and he doesn't recruit shooters! Maybe we should employ the services of the REC. They seem to do well for the infidels.
I won't talk politics. I'll just talk weather.
No freezing rain in the forecast tomorrow for D.C. :-(
What does it mean when you say someone has skillet hands?
I'd just as soon my son not freeze to death up there.
We've got to get back to a certain morally casual approach to basketball recruiting.
CLANG.
Barkley ... you need to find a new new job.
Mon, I have no idea. Sounds pretty funny though.
" The Auburn Tigers had a chance to win this game, but the final pass Elroy bounced off his skillet hands."
Ole John has hands like skillets. He should go talk to Sonny Smith. He has ears like skillets.
I can't figure it out either, Allegedly Spongeworthy.
Trott = Skillet hands, unfortunately. He used to catch everything in sight at Trinity
I can't believe nobody here knows.
I used to be spongeworth, til on skillet hands got a hold on me.
Hasta manana ... HOTTIES.
I remember way back when you were just Sponge.
Mon, I think it means the same as brick hands. No touch, can't catch a cold.
l8ah jet
Thank you, Sponge.
Jet- are you invisible?
Well monica, you changed my life with your reference to Seinfeld. My blog life that is.
I hope it was for the blog bettah.
Of course, me being a sponge, I may very well have skillet hands myself.
Mon, you taking time out to watch the inaug tomorrow?
Yes sir.
Anybody see the article about the highly regarded recruit choosing between texas and oklahoma written by the new york times?
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/26/sports/ncaafootball/26recruit.html?_r=2&partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all
“I will never forget the excitement amongst all participants,” McFarland wrote. Alcohol was all you can drink, money was not an option. Girls were acting wild by taking off their tops, and pulling down their pants. Girls were also romancing each other."
I can't decide if that will hurt Texas' recruiting or get them more visitors.
I probably won't. Really sick of politics now, really disappointed in our congress. Is there one honorable congressman out there?
Ron, If I were a highly coveted athlete, there's no question how it would have affected me at that age. Where do I sign up?
It's history worth watching no matter your politics. Yes, there are good members of Congress.
Well, I watched the whole process, so I saw history being made. the inaug is just the final changeover.
Watching the history channel. Vietnam war. Intense.
beddie by. Hope the coming days sees a good running back, wide receivers, maybe a DE or two.
watching Andy Griffith (another flaming liberal) on TV Land, not so intense. I love Barney Fife
Andy Griffith may be a liberal, but Andy Taylor sure isn't
you're right there Wake. Andy Griffith and Leave it to Beaver still my favs.
My dad loved Andy Griffith, I watched them all the time growing up. Still love it, brings back all sorts of memories.

I'm noticing a trend. The decommits are all Franklin type players. Small linemen and "guys who make plays in space."
Coincidence? I don't think so.
Good morning Hotties from the snowy hills of NC. We've got a whopping 3/4" of snow paralyzing the city ;-)
Good morning Hot Ones! It looks like Petey Smith will visit this weekend after all. Looks like a pretty interesting group of guys coming in.
Very chilly in the Gump ... my son is among the millions in DC with wind chill in the teens. Hope he dressed warmly.
Morning Jet and BigCat-
BigCat- that's great news on Petey Smith. I wondered why they took his name off the visit list.
Jet- let's hope TurboProp's brain is especially well insulated.
All I know is that the only souvie he's bought thus far is a book about Reagan.
In other news ... The Joe Cribbs Car Wash is reporting that Bernie Madoff, Wall Street Crook extraordinaire, attended UAT as a freshman. Figures. Sorry if this has already been posted.
Good morning, Hotties.
TarHeel - I agree with you about Turbo Prop. Too many people left their insulation at home this past election or lost it all together.
btw - "Turbo Prop", I like it.
gatiger - I think Jet has a nickname for his daughter too.
After visiting Blake in Austin, looks like they're on their way to Wichita to visit Bryce Brown later this morning. Here's hoping for a miracle!!!
I meant to say after leaving there they're on their way. It's always best to put all your theres as close together as possible.
Sponge was askin' last night why Auburn has so much trouble landing major TB prospects.
Is that true? Onterrio McCalebb is supposed to a big-time star. A lot of schools wanted him.
Good morning Fearless Leader, not to be confused with the scantily clad Dear Leader.
I'm very happy with McCalebb. We just haven't had a "franchise" TB sign with AU since Carnell and that's been about 8 years.
TarHeel, don't forget about Ronnie Brown!!
You also haven't signed a "franchise" quarterback since 2000, a "franchise" wideout since ..., a "franchise" safety since ...
Ben Tate was a highly coveted recruit. I know results haven't been all that coveted, but that's how it goes sometimes.
I still think Ben Tate has potential. He just hasn't been utilized properly.
tony bell was a "franchise" safety. Problem is that franchise was KFC.
Yea. Tony Bell was a big name. Was that 2000?
Tony Bell signed in 2004. It seems like a lot longer back than that. He could have been playing last year
Everyone wanted mike McNeil also. Hopefully he reaches his potential this year. Tate was coveted by a lot of people also. Hawthorne and slaughter couldve gone to numerous places also. Sometimes things just don't pan out. Let's hope some of these guys turn it around with better coaching.
Luv- Ronnie B signed the year b4 Carnell
Jay GT- last "franchise" WR- #88 but we've had plenty of excellent WRs since, just not lately.
whatever happened to tony bell? he just up and transferred in 2006? anybody know why?
TarHeel, I thought they graduated the same year. Thanks for informing me otherwise.
They graduated the same year because Ronnie redshirted, Luv
michael, thanks. I thought they graduated the same year. So, why did Carnell wait a whole year?
N20RU is has left Austin and will arrive in Wichita around 10:30 CST. Is it an NCAA violation to kidnap a recruit and force him to sign LOI? Or is that just a bunch of minor felonies?
We need to withdraw our offer to Terrence Coleman. Apparently the kid has no concept of what commitment means. Withdraw the offer and move on.
Jay,
I have seen so much negative response from Mosely from the tiders that I am going to try and promote a one on one competition between AJ and Clint. The talk down here in the MOB is how big time AJ is compared to Clint. Even AJ has taken some pops at Clints abilities. My first objective is a 40 yd dash so I can once and for all put to rest which one is slower (notice I did not say faster.) I will keep you updated on the results. Maybe the paper will want to be sponsor.
i'm going to answer my own question about tony bell. i just read on another site from 06 that some of bell's AU teammates said he was stealing things from other player's lockers, and that the reason we didn't hear about it was because CTT wanted to keep it in house....
but this is all hearsay
Luv- Ronnie graduated HS one year before Carnell. Ronnie redshirted his freshman yr at AU and did not play. He played as a "redshirt FR" his sophomore yr while Carnell was playing as a true freshman that yr.
2004 was Ronnies 5th yr at AU, Carnell's 4th. Does that make sense?
I know what a redshirting means. I just found it odd that if they left AU the same year, why they didn't enter the draft the same year. Or, why Carnell didn't sign until a year later.
Both Cadillac and Ronnie entered the draft the same year, 2005
And signed the same year.
They were drafted the same year. Ronnie was 2nd pick and Carnell was the 8th if I am not mistaken.
Well, again, that's what I thought, but TarHeel said otherwise.
Luv- I misunderstood your question. They did enter draft and signed NFL same year.
did not ;-)
who's on first?
Ok, Luv, I see where we got confused. When I said "signed the year before" I was referring to LOI with Auburn. We weren't talking 'bout the NFL. Whew.
I do believe Ronnie and Caddy's eligibility is up. I could be wrong on that, but playing in the NFL may make them ineligible. Now, back to reality.
Wow, I think I need a TO.
anybody else ready for a new thread? Monday's Chatter is getting stale.
Did LaDarius Perkins have anything to say today about his visitors from AU last night?
Also, did they take Coach Rocker to "recruit" Bryce Brown? We'll need someone to sit on him as the plane takes off. On second thought, I think CTR sitting on someone could be equivalent to attempted murder.
Tigercowboy, actually Ronnie was 2 and Caddy was 5. Carolos Rodgers also went at the 9 spot and Campbell I believe went at number 25.
plus we're perilously close to the "double 200" spillover.
ZteveFC- good to hear from you this morning. Y'all gettin any snow?
Hey Wake, that NFL draft day was my wedding day. I watched most of it in a back room, in a tux with sweaty palms and a gorgeous hangover. We were walking down the aisle and the guy who married us whispered to me, Campbell just got picked up. That's 4 in the 1st round.
Will, what a wonderful story I'm sure you will always remember that special day forever.
I'm sure the wedding was fun too.
TarHeel, I'm glad we got that cleared up! I was starting to think you didn't know your AU history! ;-)
I did joke about that with my wife as we were dancing. I told her how I never thought this day would come, and I was happier than I ever thought I'd be. When I told her I was talking about the NFL draft, she was not amused. Of course I was just kidding, kind of.
Will I'm suprised that you weren't on youtube after that comment to your new bride
400!
