PCTiger said...: Jay, All things considered: last years record, the negative media on Chiz, limited time to recruit etc.. how do you rate this class?

I'll go with a B+, which is great considering two months ago I was expecting C- at best.; 9:22 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: no campfire today =(; 9:22 PM
Jet said...: Monica ...

I am here to help ... and to hate.; 9:23 PM

I have Campfire plans. Soon.; 9:23 PM
Jet said...: Also ... Monica ... I sent you some extra workout material via email.; 9:23 PM
hehateme said...: Takes more than a campfire today!!!; 9:23 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: So Bryce Brown really is going to take two visits?; 9:24 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: PCTiger ... I'd say B.

It was going to be a C, so Gene Chizik and his peeps raised it a whole letter grade in six weeks.

That's pretty impressive.; 9:24 PM
FSJ said...: we can hold an unoffical campfire...

Jay G pay no attention to this....; 9:24 PM
barkley for governor said...: So much for Duke making it a game.; 9:24 PM
AUfan said...: I admire jets consistency. His love of Auburn is matched only by his hatred of the evil empire. As it should be.; 9:25 PM
PCTiger said...: Have faith Barkley!; 9:25 PM
Jet said...: No campfires today, kids ... a wildfire that's gonna burn Tuscaloosa down!; 9:25 PM
YoungPJ said...: What happens at said Campfire?? I've heard about it, but missed the only one I've been around for.; 9:25 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Faker that is what i was getting at lets roll it boy!; 9:26 PM

FSJ said...: I'm game...; 9:28 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Monica chatroll if your game...JAY G, your not seeing this no worries.; 9:29 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Campfires are live chats on the blog. We hold them occasionally.

The chat site actually runs 24 hours a day, but only insiders know the URL.; 9:31 PM
YoungPJ said...: Nice! I bet it is pretty crazy in there; 9:35 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ESPN rates AU's class 25th? Is that what just scrolled across the bottom of the screen?; 9:35 PM
Prowler said...: Does anyone have any info on Clinton Durst?; 9:36 PM
AUfan said...: Interesting. Coach Les Miles is stating that LSU pulled their offer to Benton before signing day.; 9:36 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: No doubt BBradshaw is going to have a talk with Les Miles and straighten him out. Les won't last long in La if he doesn't play by Bradshaw's rules.; 9:40 PM
YoungPJ said...: Miles would say that just the same that I would say I didn't study if I failed a test.

Good article about LaVoyd James. Another player I'm excited about having. You can tell he is excited about playing for Auburn.; 9:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: what was LaVoyd's injury?; 9:48 PM
Kathy said...: This says a lot about Miles and I hope it motivates Benton.

Receivers: Randle decides to stay home and sign with LSU; 9:53 PM
YoungPJ said...: I think he messed up his ankle pretty badly, not sure exactly how.; 9:54 PM
Jet said...: Good night Hottites.; 9:58 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Don't let them fool you Youngpj, a campfire is where we burn all the evidence of our illegal doings related to goat farms out west.

If I was grading out class (which I am clearly am not qualified to do) I would big it a B, if I was gradin Chizik and co's job of getting said class, I'd give them an A-, the class shaped up about as well as could be expected considering what they were facing.; 10:06 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: 25th really?; 10:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Hi jhag,

I just caught a glimpse. I think it was recruiting rankings, I assume ESPN's very own. I can't think of anything else relevant right now that would have Auburn at 25th.; 10:12 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Yep. 25th.

Where have you been, jhag?; 10:13 PM
Kathy said...: ESPN doesn't have Auburn in their top 25 in their recruiting rankings. They don't count juco guys or guys already enrolled according to Marshall, so their rankings aren't really accurate.; 10:19 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Silly peeps it was a hint of sarcasm of course were 25th according to ESPN, then again Notre Dame has been top 5 many of the last years; 10:19 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: 100 members in my "Oku to AU" group in just 2 days..hooray!; 10:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: AU and Vandy were only 2 SEC schools not to sign an "ESPN 150" player.

The big boys in the conference had 8-10 each.; 10:22 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: We just need to land the best all purpouse back in the land now..no pressure..wait dont we already have like 3 or 4 RB's signed?

We're screwed.; 10:23 PM
Kathy said...: That's correct Mr. Doctor. Maybe next year.; 10:24 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Curtis Luper so far has pulled in 2 four stars and a three star and possibly David Oku..impressive with just weeks to work with; 10:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: yes, but if he's all-purpose, we can plug him in at OG.; 10:26 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: It was that damn ESPN commercial Les Miles got that brought in the attention from all the recruits!; 10:28 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Later im outtie thanks for everything TATE!; 10:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Good night Kathy, jhag, and our Fearless Leader; 10:31 PM
Monica said...: OG = Original Gangsta; 10:33 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Still awake, Mon?; 10:38 PM
Monica said...: yes i am doc habotn; 10:50 PM
barkley for governor said...: you ditched me mon; 10:55 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm calling it a night. Sweet dreams all.; 10:57 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 11:14 PM
michael said...: Nice day on the BOTN fellas. Yee haw.; 11:18 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Jay G, good work today. Its pretty much all meaningless to me, as I'm not talent evaluater and could care less about recruiting. I'll leave that to the trusted professionals making the big bucks.

The hype is fun to get caught up in, though. Thanks for the hype outlet.; 11:19 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: its too cold here to spell correctly. supposed to drop below freezing in extreme south Florida tonight, folks. brrrrrrr.; 11:21 PM
YoungPJ said...: http://rivals100.rivals.com/commitlist.asp

Wow we got a lot of speed! Look at the number of players with 4.4 40s, it is a lot higher than most(all?) schools.; 11:56 PM
Anonymous said...: Good Morning, Hotties! Happy Friday Eve!

Monica, I heard your sister's song in spin class yesterday. I always think of you and your dirty sister when I hear that song now.; 6:05 AM
Anonymous said...: Jet, I'd like to read that bama hate workout! Not that I need any assistance in that area, but I'm sure it's a great read!; 6:07 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: I would also like to see Jet's hate bama workout routine. I hope it is downloadable to my iphone.; 6:59 AM
Jet said...: OK, you asked for it ...

JET'S HATE BAMA TO BETTER HEALTH WORKOUT!

1. "The Cadillac" -- Get on the treadmill and run 80 yards as fast as you can just like Caddy did on the first play in 2003.

2. "The Newton" -- Get a yoga mat, and dive on it twice, blocking an exercise ball each time.

3. "The Fourth and One" -- Do 12 chest presses, driving the weight forward just like the Auburn OL did for Brad Lester on the fourth down play in 2007.

4. "The Butt Kicking" -- Get on the quadricep machine ... it will follow the leg lifting motion we used to kick them all over the place in 2005.

5. "The Bo." -- Set up cones in the parking lot, run to the left cone, then back right as Bo did in 1983 for his first touchdown.

Modify and add to this workout with your own memories of Hating Bama. It's the healthy thing to do.; 7:26 AM
Jet said...: Luv ... I can't share with you what I sent to Monica ... it is of the highest security clearance.

Trust me, it is a document dedicated to hatin' Bama.; 7:29 AM
astatguy said...: I just read the Scarbinsky article on Barkley. I've had some fun with Barkley, but I thought he was just a single guy out partying and messing with people. Knowing he's married with kids puts a new spin on everything. He's not just a clown, but a father, husband and son. My days of having fun with Charles' problems are over. I hope he can recover and be who his family needs him to be.; 7:39 AM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: has Oku decided?; 7:42 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: That's some good stuff there, Jetarsky.; 7:45 AM
Quitstina said...: Peter, Jay G said it would a couple weeks before Oku decided.; 7:46 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: On the lack of OTs in this class, here's some encouragement from Andre Harris' coach (Yes, I'm desperate):

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Three players from Lovejoy signed college football scholarships on Wednesday, highlighted by offensive tackle Andre Harris, who confirmed his commitment to Auburn.

“Harris is a four-year starter that never gave up a sack,” coach Al Hughes said. “He may be one of the best offensive lineman we have had and we have had some good ones.”

Hughes said Harris was also considering Tennessee, South Carolina and Maryland.; 7:52 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Top of the mornin; 7:58 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Sounds like it'll be an Auburn-Tennessee brawl for the young Oklahoman.

Anyone worried about Syracuse's role in this?

Didn't think so.; 8:00 AM
Norm said...: Jet - I believe you have at least 2 and possibly 3 email addresses for me. I expect to receive the previously referenced material in at least one of those Inboxes this morning. Make it happ'n cap'n.; 8:01 AM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Why do I keep hearing about the Cuse with these big time recruits. What's going on up there?; 8:08 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Jay G.:

Do we have any schollies left for Mr. OKU (let alone room for another RB)?? Can't help but worry that will weigh in his decision.

Hope he comes. He appears to have all of the same positive attributes (bright, articulate, polite, mature) as Emory Blake. That kid is REALLY impressive.; 8:08 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Comm'r: Auburn doesn't have as many tailbacks as you may believe.

*Tate
*Fannin
*McCalebb will split time at WR
*Aycock
*E. Smith (role uncertain in my mind)
*B. Jaconbs (role uncertain); 8:24 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Jay G: Good point on the number of RBs. I thought the actual numbers were greater. Since Tate is a senior next year, and Washington is likely to play another position, a good case can be made that a need remains to be filled.; 9:07 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Lebo watch (tick, tick, tick....); 9:12 AM
