OK, so maybe he did move ...

TUESDAY MID-DAY
Post No. 1,070

Hey everyone. That chatter about TB David Oku is at least somewhat accurate. The Lincoln Journal-Star is reporting that the coveted prospect has relocated to Lincoln, Neb., and enrolled at Lincoln East High.
“It had nothing to do with an emotional thing with a girlfriend,” Oku said of moving to Lincoln. “That had nothing to do with it. I’ve heard the craziest things, that she’s pregnant and all this. No, no. I came here because of school.”
So he moves six weeks into the final semester of his high-school career? Really?

Also, Nebraska's top-rated signee is a Texas tailback. Oku seemed pretty emphatic in that story that a career at Nebraska is hardly imminent.

My thought: Where are Oku's parents?

  4. Jay G, I agree...the lack of parental involvement is puzzling.

  5. i often wanted to move out of my parent's house while i was in high school. the best i managed to do was spend the night at a friends house. dang, if only i'd pulled the trigger...

  6. ... you might have been wildly succcessful like David Oku.

    "I'm moving to Nebraska," Oku said, according to AuburnSports.com. "Go ahead can write a story about it. My parents are the ones that let me do this and they're behind me 100 percent."

  8. I said it in the other thread, if Oku comes to Auburn, he'll last a year before he gets homesick or goes crazy or something.

    I can see me telling my parents at age 17 that I was going to move and go to HS for my final 3 months somewhere out of state.

  11. Maybe he heard the prom at Lincoln East High is incredibly awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Maybe he wanted to make sure he didn't miss out on the Corn Festival.

  13. I've shacked up before...

    But I have never.... NEVER.....moved just for a girl.

    Oku needs to make up his mind. Can't decide what high school he wants to go to. Can't decide what college he wants to go to. Let's hope he will get his mind set on Auburn.

    ReplyDelete
  15. The prom! Hee hee.

    I would assume if grades/gradution were an issue he wouldn't have been able to play so that can't be it.

    So his parents did not move with him?

    Bizarre...

    ReplyDelete
  16. I would assume that after living in Nebraska it would make Auburn look like Vegas...

    So there may be a benefit as far as AU is concerned.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ooookkkaayyy.........Oku weird. I let my son move in the room over the garage his senior year. I understand the need to make a break but this seems more serious than just a senior needing to leave the confines of home.....weird

    I haven't yet...I'll take a look

    ReplyDelete
  21. FSJ - having been to Lincoln, and despite my love of the Loveliest Village... Vegas would not have come to mind.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I hope Auburn signs him just for the fact that he moved so he could hook-up.

    FSJ- Then let's hope he's the Vegas type.

  24. What Oku doesn't understand is that once he gets married, he will have the rest of his like to shack up. Why start so early? Bros before...well, you know.

    Maybe he has ADD, and it's affecting his decision making...

    ReplyDelete
  27. what is affecting his decision making was covered in the previous thread. though, i believe michael is still waiting on jet to expand on the topic.

    ReplyDelete
  28. After careful consideration, I would much rather he expound, gatiger.

    ReplyDelete
  29. If he's such a stud, wouldn't he have been able to find someone in his own town instead of moving to another state?

    And I can't believe I am actually commenting on the love life of a High School senior......moving on now.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I've made some bad decisions because of "that" but thankfully none of them ended up with me in Nebraska...

  31. I can't talk. I once traveled to Nebraska to attend Puppet School, all in the name of high school love. Those are six years I will never get back.

  34. You also have to remember this is the kid that was worn out on the recruiting process. He just wanted people to stop calling.....me thinks he likes the drama. He may go on to be a huge success but it won't be at Auburn. I think it is a good miss. I also think with the pick up of Dontae it is not as high on our staff's things to do list.

  48. When someone asked how Marks and Powers would run at the combine, on Saturday I said:

    "Powers will run a 4.53 and Marks will run a 5.01. Mark it, dude."

    Well, Marks ran a 5.01 on the dot. I should be a professional analyst! If Powers runs a 4.53, then I am driving up to Tennessee and buying a lottery ticket.

  50. Michael,

    I to have had this dirt road sterotype placed on me as well. I struggled with my paved road insecurity for years until happened on Kansas. If you want dirt roads go to freakin Kansas. That is the least paved place I have ever been. Now I can face my friends with confidence again

    ReplyDelete
  51. If powers runs a 4.53 he won't get drafted

    ReplyDelete
  52. I have been out of the loop for a bit but does anyone know why Andre Smith packed his toys and went home from the combine. I was told he has slipped because of this in the draft. Any truth?

    Maybe unlike Oku he has trouble being away from home.(Sugar Bowl and now this)

    ReplyDelete
  53. there are lots of unpaved roads in Wyoming.
    Well, there aren't a lot of roads in Wyoming, period. But of the few, a bunch are unpaved.

    ReplyDelete
  54. At my age, expanding is out of the question.

    Expounding, well, I don't want to do that because it depresses me.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Malcolm Jenkins, one of the top cornerbacks, just ran a 4.55. I think Powers would still get drafted with a 4.53. No matter what he does, it will be second day, though.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Is Auburn having a pro day for NFL scouts?

    ReplyDelete
  57. i have moved for a girl.......however, she was my fiance.

    this is quite puzzling. sounds like the kid needs some good mentors/friends around him. hope he finds it soon.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Is it true when they announced Powers name at the combine, the NFL scouts collectively said "who?"

    ReplyDelete
  59. It's annoying how the rest of the country thinks we are a bunch of rednecks, but I know I do the same kind of summations for other parts of the country. I think California is a bunch of hippy communists, but 45% of em voted George Bush into a second term. That's quite a lot of non-hippies.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I love unpaved roads. When we're on vacation we'll head into the hinterlands on any rutted path. So much more to see that way.

    It also puts money in the hands of my major contributors.

    THT....you asked about Bank strengths earlier. Go to www.bankrate.com. Look for "star ratings". Like recruits, Banks are rated from 1 to 5 stars. The ratings are discreetly listed on that site around once a week.

    Kinda like some recent AU recruits....all of the Banks I use for bidness have sunk to 1-3 stars.

  88. THT I wish someone would have stolen my wallet before I encountered the hill. At least if my money were stolen, then someone would have benefitted from my loss(es). I'm glad you posted the thing about BAC being up b/c I have honestly gotten to the point where I don't even check the markets regularly anymore. It's just so dang depressing.

    Oh, and my TV quit working last night as well.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Kristina, I was referring earlier to Lawton, OK. Dump to the nth degree.

    THT - I used to work for a couple of banks back in my Gump days and still have quite a few shares of their stock. One in particular is currently not worth the price of a printed stock certificate and will likely be another failure any day now. The other one, well...I've theoretically lost a good bit of $ on those two stock but most of those shares are what was actually given by the companies so I'm not really out of pocket. As to your instincts, you need to go "Costanza" and do the opposite of anything you'd normally do.

    Jet, et al - on the government issue, I'm increasingly finding I have Libertarianish leanings. Except for the wacky stuff that is. I want anything from my gov't but a strong military (peace through superior firepower) and a good system of roads to get me anywhere I want to go. Outside of that, I shouldn't notice my government.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I don't follow the markets. Just had a hunch about BAC today based on what someone said at our staff mtg last night. A tv that's not working is better than a pile of tv rubble. And no, Luv, I still don't want to talk about it.

    ReplyDelete

  104. Mrs THT went to Auburn for 2 reasons,even though she had never heard of the place:
    1. Her father told her she'd have to room with her sister (a yr older) at UNC
    2. A guy she liked from high school went to UA-T (LOSER); Auburn was nearest pharmacy school, so she was told.
    Kind of funny how things work out. She's not a pharmacist, and she didn't marry a LOSER ;-)

  113. Ok..Zoo Keeper caused me to think so here's a question I'll pose to all Hotties:

    Have you ever dated anyone from "the other side" in the rivalry?

    ReplyDelete
  114. Not only no ...

    ReplyDelete
  115. Yes, I have dated a bammer and that's really all I want to say at this time. It's a time in my life I am not proud of.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Faker, I did have a short thing with a very beautiful girl who did attend the UAT. It wasn't a bad experience. As a matter of fact, our first "date" was the 2003 Iron Bowl.

  117. I dated and was dumped by a UT fan in high school. No bammers, though.

    ReplyDelete

    "Had a short thing?"

    ReplyDelete
  119. i did date a chearleader of the biggest rival of my high school but I learned from that and did not try that in college. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law both went to the dark side no fun at christmas no fun

    ReplyDelete
  120. hmmm, bad choice of words on my part.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Who are you posing this question to Jet?

    ReplyDelete
  122. I'd join a monastery before I'd date someone who didn't hate UA-T, much less liked it or attended it.
    Then again, I was too shy too date anyway so it was irrelevant.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Well for the record I did marry an AU woman who comes from an AU family, and as mine are converted (except for my sister who attends the big ugly orange in Knoxville) family functions tend to go well.

    ReplyDelete
  124. we don't have family functions, just dysfunctions

    ReplyDelete
  125. As my siblings and each of their spouses have Auburn University at the top of their degrees, as did our father, and as four of my parents' eight grandchildren have Auburn degrees, two of them currently attend Auburn, one will attend next fall, and my daughter will surely do the game, I can safely say that my family gatherings are a "UAT-Free Zone."

    My parents' lone grandchild that has a degree from someone other than Auburn went to Samford, but wishes he went to Auburn (as does his father, my older brother, who spent a boatload to send him there).

    ReplyDelete
  126. My family isn't from here so that's not a problem as far as family functions go. As long as I didn't marry a Yankees fan my dad was fine with it. My husband's family are all Auburn people except his aunt who remarried a die hard bammer and now they don't come to anything.

    ReplyDelete
  127. I'm ashamed to say this...but....

    My sister is an Auburn fan.

    Only one in the family.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I was raised by wolves. My family has no collegiate allegiance, and family gatherings are awesome (as long as the carcass is big enough for everyone).

    ReplyDelete
  129. So is "she must have gotten all the brains in the family" too easy?

    ReplyDelete
  130. I'm really showing my poor judgment today. I did date a Alabama fan for a while (not at all die hard, although her father definitely was, since breaking up with her she has been converted), far worse was dating a Florida fan. I really don't like Florida fans.

    ReplyDelete
  131. "she must have gotten all the brains" means something completely different in my family. That means that she literally hogged all the elk brains. It's a bit of a no-no. In my family, we share.

    I can say that because I've been with Wifey since we were teenagers. I never had to dump a hot check because of the school on her degree, but I would have. I'm sure I would have identified (theoretical girl's) shady background before it ever became serious.

  139. Weird but not a weirdo... yeah, that's me.

    My father-in-law stumbled upon my blog for the first time last week. It is linked in my facebook profile. He was like, "Uhhh, is this really michael?" So yeah, I let my weird sense of humor hang out a little more on the webs than in real life.

    ReplyDelete

  164. Jerraud Powers ran a 4.47 (unofficial) at the combine

    Analysis
    Positives: Short, but has a legitimate NFL build. ... At least adequate deep speed. ... Flashes an aggressive initial hand punch at the line of scrimmage. ... Good hip swivel to turn and run with receivers. ... Good agility and quickness out of his breaks to close on the ball. ... Peeks back at the quarterback and is willing to gamble. ... Can adjust his body in space to make the athletic interception. ... Rides receivers throughout the route and isn't intimidated by bigger receivers. ... Reliable open-field tackler who flashes some pop. ... Good agility to avoid blocks.

    Negatives: Might be too short to handle working on the outside. ... Good open-field tackler who flashes some pop, but his physicality hasn't translated into forced fumbles. ... Can be too aggressive. ... Has a tendency to bite on the fake and lacks the elite burst to recover when beaten initially. ... Fought a nagging hamstring pull as a junior.

  173. So, the JGT is bacheing it tonight.(sp). We haven't had a drunken campfire for quite some time. I'll bring the hersheys and marshmellows.
    Side note:
    I was the last of 5 kids, 1st sister cheerleader at AU, 2nd sister, AU. ! 1st brother AU, 2nd brother AU, myself AU.
    All this to say it is a family THING.
    The one thing all of you failed to mention is that UA-T has some pretty hot chicks, the only difference is their parents den is a shrine to the Bear.

  174. You're not the only one that turns into a pumpkin around that time. 4:30 comes early.

  175. nova - i'm usually thinking about going to bed around 8p eastern and if it's within my control m-f i'm putting that plan into action shortly after 9p. i'm with you, the clock goes off at 4:30 then it's put on the running clothes and hit the street. i've really come to dislike being a responsible adult.

  176. Monica, in reply to your post from last night regarding Facebook. I know nothing about Facebook. How do I look at pages, do I have to set up an account etc. Sorry, I am computer challenged in most ways. It took me about a week to finally figure out how to post here. Thanks.

  177. gatiger,
    All that running will kill you. Call Michael and inquire about the sheep sharing business. Laid back and mucho denaro.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Man, the sheep are not shared. They are hoarded. They are just collateral; I thought I explained this a couple of months ago!

    Don't ask me about my business!

  179. Michael,
