Eguae walks the walk

MONDAY NIGHT
Post No. 1,025

Hey everyone. I interviewed DE Nosa Eguae earlier today and he said several interesting things. My guess is that Auburn fans are going to like this kid for a long time. He's good, he's bright and he's serious about work.

You can read The Whole Story on Wednesday.

I'll give you this tonight: Texas Tech coaches were mighty unhappy when Eguae committed to Auburn on Jan. 26. That was the day after Eguae returned from an official visit to the Tech campus. Assistant coach Carlos Mainord tried to follow-up with an in-home visit after learning of Eguae's commitment. Mainord tried to push The Parent Angle, too.

Eguae's response?

"You can talk to my parents as much as you want, but I'm still going to Auburn," Eguae said he told Mainord. ``That's where I want to be. Auburn is the best fit for me. I told him that I want to play for Coach (Tracy) Rocker and that's how it's going to be. I'm looking forward to getting my conditioning packet from Coach (Kevin) Yoxall and getting to work."

    You're welcome.
    That tidbit of useless info has been taking up valuable space in my brain since childhood. No telling how many people's names or other important info I could have put there.
