Oku now an option?

Good afternoon.

Our friends at AuburnSports.com are reporting that TB David Oku from suburban Oklahoma City is planning to visit Auburn next weekend. Though he remains somewhat committed to Tennessee, Oku has made trips to Louisville and Nebraska. He's visiting Syracuse this weekend. Auburn comes next.

Could the Tigers actually land Oku? Impossible to know. Auburn is getting in very late on these kids. Sometimes that actually assists the Tigers' effort -- they're the "new" program with the new staff and the revised expectations.

Is it bad form and wrong to pick up the question posed on the last thread here (about the Tubs as filthy stinking "intermediary" organizing Willis hire)??

If so, I will delete post and then off myself due to the shame and humiliation I've visited upon the Drummond family.

I would settle down, I haven't heard anything credible that Tubs helped Willis out.

But if he did, well, it would be one guy who got fired by Auburn helping out another guy who got fired by Auburn. So, as Auburn, how upset can we be?

Correction: second guy who RESIGNED from Auburn w/$6 MILLION of "good will" in order to be "involved ambassador"

Frankly, if Tubby was helping Willis get a job elsewhere, then good.

I'm glad they were successful. Get is his bohunkus out of Auburn and roll with the Beelzebubbas.

I don't care. Soon enough the flotsam and jetsam will be gone, and we can go about our business.

Is Tubbs Willy Wonka in that "theoretical" scenario?

3:33 PM

Not exactly Michael. It'd be one guy who got severance even though he resigned, and told the Pres he'd stick around the community to be an ambassador-- helping out a guy who was fired BUT THEN accepted an offer on the new staff.

so, no, not exactly

Yeah, sorry for skipping all the high points about this and that. Certainly Tuberville wasn't forced to resign, because they would not have lied about it. But that is a discussion of long ago.

I think Willis is scuzz, but I don't care that he is gone and I don't care who helped him get gone. There are more important things in life than football rivalries, and being personal friends of both Saban and Willis, I am not sure Tuberville would be sent to hell for doing a couple of friends a favor. (and by hell, I mean Tuscaloosa)

Anyway, this is still all message board hypothetical talk. Jay, have you heard anything on this?

1. Tubs walks in meeting as coach, leaves meeting as ex-coach.

2. Chiz was unexpected choice. We love him and the Delta Force Z now.

3. Willis was working with the angels one day, the Devil the next. He sleeps with the fishes soon.

4. Steve concerned about our reputation. Jet, if he were female, would be Joan Jet (obscure 1980s musical reference).

Funny story about Frank Tolbert. Back many years ago I can remember at a Jr. League basketball practice a little 6 year old came in with a a 6th finger on each hand and was wanting to shoot on the goal we were using. Some of the other guys started yelling at him, "Go on Frank, Go On now" he got upset and started crying , grabbed his basketball and ran out of the gym. I never saw him again til the day I turned my T.V. on in Kentucky and saw AU playing VA I believe and my jaw about dropped to the floor when I saw Frank Tolbert's name flash up on the TV Screen. He had grown just a little since I saw him last.

However, in the spirit of the HABOTN, I'll add this: How many of the walk ons that you name would have been affected had a Durst-esque situation had happened prior to their enrollment? My guess is zero. It doesn't fit in with the mentality of a walk-on.

And yea, I thought not given Durst a scholarship was a bonehead move. I just hope we don't pay for it like we did with Robert McGinty. Some things are no brainers. Giving a scholarship to walkons that become starters is a no brainer. There are scholarships wasted on players (Hart) that rarely if ever play.

6:31 PM

I like the no punt concepts. We line up in a 3 deep power I and run on every single play. With 4 downs, it will be 2.5 yards and a cloud of dust football.

Walk-ons are important, of course. But the bottom line is that our schollies are gold -- absolute gold.

I don't think we can't afford to spend a nugget d'or right now for a punter. We've got one on scholarship, and three more will surely walk on this summer.

I hate it that Durst leaves with bad feelings, but this ain't intramurals.

Ah, thanks Blake. I recognized the face but didn't feel up to doing the research. Wasn't Atchinson an Auburn recruit at one point?

Yes he was, looks like he might be one again soon. Currently committed to 'Bama.

Don't know a lot about budget for the athletic department but I think we will surpass last years recruiting budget.

Atchinson coming may be a sign. A while back I heard that Bama was encouraging him look around because they had higher LB prospects they felt they would get. I will forgive him for his indiscretions with the evil empire but only because he's 6-3

He also runs a 4.54 40 or something like that. I'll take him.

Luper and Trooper must be persuasive.

Mon,
With Benton showing up this weekend, do you still believe he is/was Jimmy Sexton-ing us?

Cue up the Shaft music when Troop and Lupe stroll in the house.

Jay G ...

A brief respite from recruiting ... what is your guess on the crowd for Sunday's women's hoops showdown?

I don't know Miller. I am perplexed and I have trust issues.

Monica ...

Heed the words of your hero, Ronald Reagan ... trust, but verify

I saw mention earlier today, Jet, that there had been 11k tickets sold... I'm not sure how accurate it is though.
I know I have 4 tickets.

Jet,

Heed the words of your hero, Joan Crawford..."Don't f*** with me fellas. This ain't my first time at the rodeo."

I'd love to go ... but we've got a reception that afternoon that I can't avoid

I'm wondering if it qualifies as the biggest game in 20 years.

"feisty" is right up there with "scrappy"

I cooked a very yummy steak for dinner. It was grass-fed beef and it was outrageously delicious.

8:11 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Beef ... it's what's for dinner.

Unless you went to Zaxby's ... then you got Turbo Prop his usual Wings and Things, and I got my Buffalo/Blue salad.

Wonder what Lebo will think if the women pack BE for the Tennessee game? I don't know enough about basketball to evaluate his X's and O's, but a salesman he is not. And I mean the term salesman in a good sense.

Just caught up and please no more wire hangers.

And how does the punt conversation continue? Stunning.

One more thing "Yankified?" Official word of the day from the Baltimoron.

If I hear any more about Limp Biskit Durst, I think I'm going to barf.

As for the Tony Franklin Experiment, I prefer to refer to it as the Tony Franklin Experience. Why experience? Because I have never experienced anything like it.

j-z, I feel your pain. My iPod and Mac died the same week recently. I would have been able to recover all of the media I had saved on the Mac, but I checked the wrong darn box when reinstalling the OS. I was so devastated, I swore I'd never invest in music again. YouTube only from here on out. That way, as long as I have the internets, I have music.

PF, invest in an external USB drive. I have my files mirrored to two external drives once per day. I like the security.
