OT: Aaron's 312 at Talladega
Hey everyone. I'm at Talladega Superspeedway for the NASCAR Nationwide Series race this afternoon. It's good to break away from Auburn coverage every now and again because, you know, there's not much going on there right now.
I thought it would be prudent to let you all know what I am doing.
I'll post a few pics here. Otherwise, I gotta pay attention to this race ...

Start your engines!
See how close you can get to Grand Marshall Saban...and then fart.
Scoop and Stick, sounds like a good play!
That's tomorrow, Will.
Today's grand marshal was Bubba The Love Sponge of Howard 101 fame. Very exciting.
I got 5 on it
Earnhardt missed the pit stall again. Seriously.
NASCAR can't be that hard...can it?
Will someone please explain to me why I enjoy watching the draft so much? It is not exciting, it is not entertaining, yet every year I find myself sitting in front of the TV watching it. Maybe it's the beers.
I read a few things last night on here about some big news regarding AU recruiting. Did anything ever materialize or did any other info become available?
The draft is a reason not to do something constructive.
Will, I have absolutely no idea.Do you watch Miss America pageant and Academy Awards, too?
The draft is cool as long as the beer is flowing...after that it's time to change venues or change the channel.
Nope, can't stand awards shows. What is a pageant?
No wonder I don't like the draft. I don't like beer.
the draft is an awards show
Sean, you ever tried the Budweiser American Ale? They have been making it for a year or so now. I dig it.
THT you make a valid point...Matt Stafford isn't a No. 1 pick, he's a scout's dream...hence...award show.
Will, I've had it, I like it. There are few beers I won't drink...the American Ale isn't one of those.
Tyson Jackson from LSU went third. The first highlight they showed was him sacking Chris Todd.
Tyson Jackson over Aaron Curry...that's suspect @ No. 3?
Finally, the Pens put the biscuit in the basket. Now HIT someone (preferably a Flyer).
I don't think Chris Todd gives up any sacks next year..
Sean I agree about Jackson, and regardless of the details, I hope you are right about Todd.
I don't think he ever plays another snap at AU.
Will, you hit the nail on the head.
Sean, what's your take on Sanchez from USC? Only 16 games started in college...
Well normally I would say pass, but Matt Cassell started zero games and won 11 with the Pats...so its up in the air but I'll go with bust.
Jets trade up to take Sanchez...step one in NYJ screwing up their draft.
Thats's a good point about Cassel. I hope Sanchez sends him a Thank You note tomorrow.
How bout a thank you note and a check?
I hope Andre Smith has a bra on today.
He's sitting at home so he doesn't show off the man boobs.
Dear Bungles, Andre Smith = soft in the pants. Thanks for sucking at life.
Loyal Steelers fan,
EZ
Heyward Bey over Crabtree????
Oakland screws up again!
That's what happens when no one will tell the fish monster 'no'.
Speaking of Thank You notes. One from JAX to OAK is in order.
A thank you note and a beer of the month club membership to Al Davis.
You're right Will, that's why the Raiders are the Raiders. Someone put Davis out of his misery along with their fans. Kill two birds with one stone.
AU up 4-1 on tiggers.
The Raiders seem like the gutter of the NFL to me. All the trash from everywhere else seems to end up there.
did earnhardt install the tony franklin system?
Earnhardt is like the UFO's in Fyffe AL. I heard about them forever, but never seen anything out of them.
OK I am going out on a limb...
Unless Kodi, a year later, dominates fall ball and is the hands down starter...
Ya really gotta wonder... was CTF right all along about KB...
I couldn't care less who was right about whom, I want a guy in a blue jersey throwing TDs, I don't care who it is.
Banana shaped UFO's at that.
Earnhadt is the Anna Kournikova of NASCAR
Why didn't the Raiders draft James Swinton? Al Davis loves fast players that do nothing on the field.
Andre Smith to the Bengals?
A slug to thugs.
good stuff depressed!!!
Erin Andrews chosen to do interviews based on her probing questions on the sidelines of college football games. Great move by the worldwide leader in sports.
The real albatross for me is Bey getting shut out in 2 ACC games. The ACC isn't known for it's stout defenses.
Auburn baseball begins the inevitable meltdown. 3...2...1...
Erin Andrews is hot enough to probe where she likes...
Erin Andrews and probe in the same sentence = how much?
I like Pettigrew and Crabtree alot right now.
I like Crabtree period, too bad the Titans have no chance at getting him.
I heard some talk that Ron Brown and J Camp might play into this draft as part of some trades today.
Ronnie Brown would be a steal....J-Cam is decent, but he obviously needs to be in the right situation.
You could do alot worse than Campbell.
Oh yeah, I think Jason is definitely a top half starter in the NFL...but he needs to get the heck out of Washington.
They mentioned him possibly going to Tampa. That would be cool. Wherever he goes will prob be my new favorite team.
Tampa loves the W.C. offense, and he played well in our version in 2004, I think that would be a good fit for him.
Washington does something sensible for once...NYJ did them a favor.
Here come them Caints! Who dat?
when campbell leaves the nfl, he will make a heckuva offensive coordinator. how many systems has he learned thus far?
He's on his 22nd offensive coordinator in 8 years. That's at least 16 different systems, but you can't count Nallsminger.
Yeah, but he's never had a "Dumbass."
I have the Sen'Derrick Marks story written.
Now ... just waiting for him to get drafted!
Congrats, THT
another DB for the saints. i hope he understands he is supposed to cover the other teams WRs, not just run aimlessly around the field. go aints!!!!!
AU down 5-4 after two solo HR's.
Well, I am shocked....
Pick a winner Bolts!!!
i can't help but think marks is being penalized for playing on a bad AU team last year. he can go inside or outside and should be a nice pickup for someone in the 3rd or so. i hope he can get into a situation like the patriots or steelers. i'd take him with the saints any day of the week.
Baseball playin a lot like the football team, half games I mean.
Thanks Jet,
The secret was me pretending I wasn't paying attention. working on hobby and glanced at tv only when I heard THTjr screaming in delight upstairs.
Uh, OK, Bolts. Not what I had in mind.
I wish I knew how to nap.
Sharks & Ducks don't start til 10 EST tonight on versus. We get an hour of Calgary and Chicago starting at 9 EST before they move west.
baseball really really really really really really really PISSIN ME OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!
cant bunt cant catch stupid stupid stupid
disgusting, sorry for the drama yall
JABA, I'm better now.
Goosfrabah, EZ.
I take it we're chokin' our guts out in baseball?
yep, just lost it bottom of the ninth. hargett whiffed a grounder for a chance to throw out at the plate. anyone seen Slater, did they keep him on as an assistant or something. im gonna puke.
I'm surprised at how far Marks has supposedly fallen in the eyes of the NFL scouts. Kiper has him going in the 4th rd. He struggled some with injuries last season, but his first two seasons at AU were two of the best seasons by an AU D-lineman in years. He made plays in the backfield against the run and the pass, and played against top competition. Is an injured hamstring really causing him to fall that far?
He was projected in the 2nd round and I think that's where he'll go. I don't think he ever was predicted to hit the first round. I think Kiper putting him in the 4th is a bit naive.
i thought 10-20 was a bad sec record, we might dump on that this year if were not careful.
I've never seen such expensive paper, the only use of which is for starting a fire:
Burn it
THT ...
Let's a have a wienie roast!
THT, I can think of a few more things to do with that waste of parchment.
Maybe they should test it for BAR dna and up the bids.
THT - What was the final score I missed it?
Now I am watching my Ravens pull in OL Oher which is more SEC goodness.
Yeah, 2nd rd would be a good spot for Marks. I just wonder, Kiper is usually pretty accurate about projecting where players will go. I would love to see Sen'Derrick end up on a winning team. One of my favorite AU players.
Oher's just another guy for Harrison to run around.
The prominent substance on the paper was alcohol based, which increased the likelihood that the Bahr touched the report at some point.
Harrison got lucky..: )
He is just upset because the Ravens cut him....he got his money and will get fat and slow.
I hope.
Touched it or someone snorted a chalky white substance off of it. I'm sure if we dig deep enough, you could find some sort of residue.
Fat and slow Harrison is still better than 90% of guys in the same position.
Steelers also cut him twice:^]
I think Oher will do well, I would have liked to have had him also. We will move on.
I can't diss him...he is a great player.
percy harvin to the vikes is a pretty good pick, imo.
Percy Harvin to the Vikes? I guess they play on artificial grass.
I guess the Giants said, we'll get rid of Plax and just get a guy that reportedly gets high in his spare time. Upgrade? You make the choice?
Titans on the clock, finally!
The Titans, with the 30th pick of the first round of the NFL Draft, select Dax Dellenbach, long snapper of Auburn University.
The Steelers take Shipley center? He visited the organization earlier.
Beanie may be better than White but really, odd if it happens.
I heard the Colts may release Peyton Manning because he inquired about retiring and returning to play college football at Boston College.
Nevermind
I was going to stroke out if they picked Beanie Wells! Kenny Britt could be good? I have never heard of him.
That kid from Rutgers is pretty good, but as always we'll have to see.
sorry, AU1, I was enjoying some shrimp scampi.
Penguins 5 Flyers 3.
Pens overcame 3-0 deficit and got go ahead goal midway through 3rd and empty netter to close it out. YEA!!!
Which means Pens vs Caps if Caps win. Yikes!!!
laurinitis a 2nd rounder?
No worries. Just got a call from my sister.
On the AU sports front. Auburn Mens Lax, ranked #1 in the SELC Championship Tournament is beating FSU 3-2.
Who doesn't know what lax is?
THT - Tell me that wasn't an awesome Ovechkin goal last night?
Scott - I am shocked Mualuga was a 2nd rounder.
Sawx beat New Yawk 16-11 ... Lowell drives in six.

OK ...
Fins take Pat White ... another Wildcat? ... is Ronnie on the move?
Jet - ESPN draft tracker lists Pat White as a WR.
Wow just saw this.
Authorities were on a nationwide manhunt for a University of Georgia professor in the shooting deaths of three people Saturday at a community theater near campus.
Anyone seen Senderick Marks in the draft? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Ok, wifey is asleep. Remote now safely in my possession and HOCKEY reigns supreme. Go FLAMES!!!
AU1- Ovie undressed the whole Ranger team. The guy is absolutely amazing. My fav Ovie goal is the one in '06 where he was sliding on his back.
With White, they can use Williams as the RB, White as the Wildcat and ship Ronnie for another player.
wow, Blackhawks score 3 in less than 2 minutes, only the 1st was on pp
woo hoo for sen'derrick!
marks wasn't even on the board as one of kiper's best 6-7 DTs available. i'm glad he went somewhere that is not a death sentence for a career.
i see some zone read option being in the mix with white and brown in the backfield for the fins. don't forget ricky either. i saw ronnie fake to him on the end around a few times last year.
Good deal for Sen'Derrick ... with Haynesworth gone, there's a definite opportunity there.
That is a good team for Marks. I see where Troy had a DB go in the 2nd rd as well. The number of early round draft picks that program cranks out is pretty remarkable.
The SEC has higher academic standards than the Sun Belt, so they get borderline academics and they get guys who's measurables are less than desirable.
What is says is that Larry's staff can evaluate, coach, and develop.
AU1 - Dirty said tell you hello.
Whatta 'bout me? Whatta 'bout me?
All good points, Jet. I just think it is pretty amazing the name that Troy has made for itself in such a short period of time. I always wondered what Blakeney could have done if given the chance at a big-time program. He is an excellent coach.
Depressed ...
Larry would be battery acid at a big-time school.
But it will never happen. All because he helped a married kid who was crazy as a loon and a wife who was crazy as a double loon, and got caught on tape.
Jet, I think you're right about his chances of landing a bigger job. I wonder if he ever thinks about what might have been, or if he has made peace with the past and accepted the reality of his situation. It is sad to me for him to be basically blackballed for the Ramsey fiasco.
Depressed ...
I think it's both -- I'm sure he wonders, but I think he's made peace with it.
The thing I like about Larry is that he's confident enough in himself to be cool with the likes of Franklin taking the offense and running with it ... that's he's tough enough to make staff changes ... that he's willing to change how he does things.
New thread up for Sen'Derrick Marks.
Maybe I'm biased but I'm stoked about marks coming to the Titans.
