A look-ahead to recruiting

FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Post No. 1,198

Hey everyone. Thanks for being patient with me today. It's my daughter's birthday and I was in charge of present procurement. Some recent revisions rendered my (hard-fought) Wii Fit moot. Other merchandise was considered more coveted and useful.

That's where I come in.

Anyway, we'll probably spend plenty of time this summer talking about recruiting. A lot of that talk will surround Auburn's needs and how closely the team's top targets dovetail with those needs.

So let's take a look at where Auburn's current scholarship allocation chart, which (theoretically) will give us some clarity when it comes to identifying the Tigers needs.

Here is where Auburn is right now. New signees aren't yet included.

RED is for players who won't play next season.

Yea. It's kinda tough to ingest because many members of Auburn's 2009 signing class will qualify and snag scholarship slots.

Answering questions from the other thread:

* I don't wear hats, so a HABOTN hat isn't something that excites me.

* Jet, do you still want me to submit a list of facts re: HABOTN?

* I don't watch MMA or UFC. I read about Kyle Maynard, but it wasn't something that excited me.

Guys gotta run out to the DMZ... talk to ya whan I get back to Pyongyang,, but until then You contemptible pig! I remained celibate for you. I stood at the back of a cathedral, waiting, in celibacy, for you, with three hundred friends and relatives in attendance. My uncle hired the best Romanian caterers in the state. To obtain the seven limousines for the wedding party, my father used up his last favor with Mad Pete Trullo. So for me, for my mother, my grandmother, my father, my uncle, and for the common good, I must now kill you, and your brother.

Struttin - it was pretty cool & impromptu. We were all out for ice cream & the local firehouse crew & their 3 trucks were all at a restaurant next door. We were just milling around the trucks when they came out, opened them up & let him explore. He still doesn't understand why he couldn't turn on the sirens & honk the horn.

did you have a luggage rack cause the trunk was stuffed with dead hookers?

Were there any fieros that weren't red?

good question ehyou. I can't recall any. Maybe our Fiero gang could paint ours to stand out more

If Fieros were real, I would get a pink one with blue polka dots.

Fiero, that is. Not dead hooker. Although, I can't say that definitively.

E-Bay has 21 Fieros for sale, in many different colors all for 8,000 dollars or less.

the trunk had enough space to hold a cell phone. of course, cell phones were much bigger back then.

3:44 PM

So what you are saying is Fiero drivers only killed anorexic or dwarf hookers?

They're just lying in wait, trying to find out who's got the Fieros, and then they'll pounce on you.

Thanks for the overview Jay. The most glaring things are definitely the offensive line and the linebackers. We are in trouble in both areas.

What is probably surprising to some is the number of skill position players. This staff did great getting some skill position players, but the guys in the trench are in trouble. This may be due to the order in which the position coaches were hired.

My brother had an 88 (I think it was an 88) Fiero in 1990. He bought it used. The thing was a piece of junk, but apparently there was a bonus when he bought the car, the former owner had hidden a bag of weed behind the dash. We were putting a stereo in the car and found it there.

I don't know if it helped with the resale value of the car or not, but I assume the value of the weed was far more than the actual value of the car.

I think I'm a little late here, but I very much enjoy Mixed Martial Arts. It gets a bad reputation (much of which is brought on by stereotypical fans and the UFC), but it's just as much a sport as football or baseball. It takes tons of skiil and athleticism, and is much more than two guys punching each other.

4:33 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

which one smoked more? the car or the weed

4:33 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

I'm a MMA fan as well, it's amazing the number of people who have the wrong idea about it...also, it's not bare knuckle fighting.

However the guy promoting the show in Auburn with Kyle Maynard is probably one of the promoters that give the sport a bad name, just going for cheap publicity.

My wife put a sign over our bedroom door that says ...

"Abandon hope, all ye who enter here."

What am I to make of this?

Oh, well. Time to leave. See you later, HOTTATARIANS.

Imagine my disappointment when I opened the fridge!!! Empty, except for very effeminate fruity malt beverages (known in some parts as wine coolers).
What if I actually start to like them??!! How will I tailgate?? I can't drink these in public! Will I have to move to Iowa or Cali?

I do like MMA. I would like to see an MMA match between Gene Chizik and Nick Saban at the halftime of the Iron Bowl. Can you imagine the PPV subscribers to that one?

Blogger Harrison said...

I do enjoy your honesty about it though. i will answer your questions.
1.yes, you will kind of like them
2. you cannot drink them at tailgates or inpublic
3. acceptable only if you are completely out of any other alcohol and have no hope of getting to a store

Scuppernongs=Muscadines. The fruit tastes great, the wine tastes like barefeet...not to be confused with bear feet, which taste great.

My grandmother had a scuppernong vine behind her house in the country. The grandkids used to pick them for her. We'd eat one for every one we picked. We'd squeeze the meat juice out into our mouths and then suck the juice out of the skin.
Good stuff... until the stomach ache hit

FWIW guys, 2010 Commit Jake Hollands Dad posted on another site that Auburn has picked up a big time commit today. Here were his words.

1. Definitely a "WOW"
2. It is a prospect commitment
3. It's an offensive player
4. It's a big one, real high target for AU
5. It's fixing to starting rolling on the Plains! Well, it actually already is but just stay tuned for next few weeks!

6:13 PM

wouldn't tossing them be a sin against some kind of religion or something? "waste not that which can lay you to waste". book of jan terri, i believe.

scott- in that case it's ok to drink them, just don't enjoy them and you're cool.

fsj... don't get me started on Rick. Took my high school girlfriend to see him at Boutwell in '82. Bought her a bootleg t-shirt in the parking deck and almost got arrested.
Saw him at City Stages many years later with wifey and kids. He was actually awesome... hand me another scuppernong wine cooler.

from southernfood.about.com

The scuppernong is a greenish, or bronze, variety of muscadine. At first it was simply called the Big White Grape. During the 17th and 18th centuries cuttings of the mother vine were placed into production around Scuppernong, a small town in North Carolina. The name Scuppernong originally comes from an Algonquin Indian name, Ascopo for the sweet bay tree. Ascupernung, meaning place of the Ascopo, appears on early maps of North Carolina as the name of a river in Washington County that runs into the Albemarle Sound. By 1800 the spelling of the river had become Scuppernong. Soon the name of the town and river came to be applied to the grapes grown in the area. In this roundabout fashion, ascopo, the Algonquin word for sweet bay tree became scuppernong, the word for a variety of wild grape.
Tell me you didn't really care!

I have a good friend that picked a bunch of muscadines and ask me to make wine with them. I was in to wine making at the time. I made 14 quart jars of wine. To me it was not very good but he loved it, so I gave all of it to him. I guess different strokes for different folks.
