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 ...

See how close you can get to Grand Marshall Saban...and then fart.

2:30 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Scoop and Stick, sounds like a good play!

2:33 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

That's tomorrow, Will.

Today's grand marshal was Bubba The Love Sponge of Howard 101 fame. Very exciting.

I got 5 on it

2:38 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Earnhardt missed the pit stall again. Seriously.

2:58 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

NASCAR can't be that hard...can it?

2:58 PM  
Blogger Will said...

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.

3:01 PM  
Blogger Will said...

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?

3:05 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

The draft is a reason not to do something constructive.

3:13 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Will, I have absolutely no idea.Do you watch Miss America pageant and Academy Awards, too?

3:19 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

The draft is cool as long as the beer is flowing...after that it's time to change venues or change the channel.

3:22 PM  
Blogger Will said...

Nope, can't stand awards shows. What is a pageant?

3:23 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

No wonder I don't like the draft. I don't like beer.

3:23 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

the draft is an awards show

3:24 PM  
Blogger Will said...

Sean, you ever tried the Budweiser American Ale? They have been making it for a year or so now. I dig it.

3:24 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

THT you make a valid point...Matt Stafford isn't a No. 1 pick, he's a scout's dream...hence...award show.

3:25 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Will, I've had it, I like it. There are few beers I won't drink...the American Ale isn't one of those.

3:25 PM  
Blogger Will said...

Tyson Jackson from LSU went third. The first highlight they showed was him sacking Chris Todd.

3:26 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Tyson Jackson over Aaron Curry...that's suspect @ No. 3?

3:26 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Finally, the Pens put the biscuit in the basket. Now HIT someone (preferably a Flyer).

3:26 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

I don't think Chris Todd gives up any sacks next year..

3:28 PM  
Blogger Will said...

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.

3:30 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Will, you hit the nail on the head.

3:33 PM  
Blogger Will said...

Sean, what's your take on Sanchez from USC? Only 16 games started in college...

3:35 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

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.

3:36 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Jets trade up to take Sanchez...step one in NYJ screwing up their draft.

3:42 PM  
Blogger Will said...

Thats's a good point about Cassel. I hope Sanchez sends him a Thank You note tomorrow.

3:44 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

How bout a thank you note and a check?

3:44 PM  
Blogger Will said...

I hope Andre Smith has a bra on today.

3:50 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

He's sitting at home so he doesn't show off the man boobs.

3:52 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Dear Bungles, Andre Smith = soft in the pants. Thanks for sucking at life.

Loyal Steelers fan,

EZ

3:56 PM

Heyward Bey over Crabtree????

3:57 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Oakland screws up again!

3:57 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

That's what happens when no one will tell the fish monster 'no'.

3:58 PM  
Blogger Will said...

Speaking of Thank You notes. One from JAX to OAK is in order.

3:59 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

A thank you note and a beer of the month club membership to Al Davis.

4:00 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

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.

4:01 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

AU up 4-1 on tiggers.

4:02 PM  
Blogger Will said...

The Raiders seem like the gutter of the NFL to me. All the trash from everywhere else seems to end up there.

4:02 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

did earnhardt install the tony franklin system?

4:03 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Earnhardt is like the UFO's in Fyffe AL. I heard about them forever, but never seen anything out of them.

4:08 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

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...

4:10 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

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.

4:10 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Banana shaped UFO's at that.

4:10 PM  
Blogger Will said...

Earnhadt is the Anna Kournikova of NASCAR

4:12 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

Why didn't the Raiders draft James Swinton? Al Davis loves fast players that do nothing on the field.

4:12 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Andre Smith to the Bengals?

A slug to thugs.

4:13 PM  
Blogger Will said...

good stuff depressed!!!

4:14 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

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.

4:16 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

The real albatross for me is Bey getting shut out in 2 ACC games. The ACC isn't known for it's stout defenses.

4:16 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Auburn baseball begins the inevitable meltdown. 3...2...1...

4:17 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Erin Andrews is hot enough to probe where she likes...

4:17 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Erin Andrews and probe in the same sentence = how much?

4:18 PM  
Blogger Will said...

I like Pettigrew and Crabtree alot right now.

4:18 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

I like Crabtree period, too bad the Titans have no chance at getting him.

4:19 PM  
Blogger Will said...

I heard some talk that Ron Brown and J Camp might play into this draft as part of some trades today.

4:20 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Ronnie Brown would be a steal....J-Cam is decent, but he obviously needs to be in the right situation.

4:22 PM  
Blogger Will said...

You could do alot worse than Campbell.

4:25 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Oh yeah, I think Jason is definitely a top half starter in the NFL...but he needs to get the heck out of Washington.

4:26 PM  
Blogger Will said...

They mentioned him possibly going to Tampa. That would be cool. Wherever he goes will prob be my new favorite team.

4:27 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

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.

4:28 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Washington does something sensible for once...NYJ did them a favor.

4:34 PM  
Blogger Will said...

Here come them Caints! Who dat?

4:35 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

when campbell leaves the nfl, he will make a heckuva offensive coordinator. how many systems has he learned thus far?

4:36 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

He's on his 22nd offensive coordinator in 8 years. That's at least 16 different systems, but you can't count Nallsminger.

4:37 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Yeah, but he's never had a "Dumbass."

4:37 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

I have the Sen'Derrick Marks story written.

Now ... just waiting for him to get drafted!

4:39 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Congrats, THT

4:45 PM  
Blogger chip chip said...

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!!!!!

4:46 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

AU down 5-4 after two solo HR's.
Well, I am shocked....

4:47 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Pick a winner Bolts!!!

4:47 PM  
Blogger chip chip said...

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.

4:48 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Baseball playin a lot like the football team, half games I mean.

4:48 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

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.

4:50 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Uh, OK, Bolts. Not what I had in mind.

4:52 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

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.

Goosfrabah, EZ.

I take it we're chokin' our guts out in baseball?

5:33 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

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.

5:40 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

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?

5:42 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

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.

5:45 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

i thought 10-20 was a bad sec record, we might dump on that this year if were not careful.

5:46 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I've never seen such expensive paper, the only use of which is for starting a fire:

Burn it

5:49 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

THT ...

Let's a have a wienie roast!

5:51 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

THT, I can think of a few more things to do with that waste of parchment.

5:51 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Maybe they should test it for BAR dna and up the bids.

5:52 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

THT - What was the final score I missed it?

Now I am watching my Ravens pull in OL Oher which is more SEC goodness.

5:52 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

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.

5:54 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Oher's just another guy for Harrison to run around.

5:54 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

The prominent substance on the paper was alcohol based, which increased the likelihood that the Bahr touched the report at some point.

5:54 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Harrison got lucky..: )

He is just upset because the Ravens cut him....he got his money and will get fat and slow.

5:56 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

I hope.

5:57 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

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.

5:57 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Fat and slow Harrison is still better than 90% of guys in the same position.

5:58 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Steelers also cut him twice:^]

5:59 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

I think Oher will do well, I would have liked to have had him also. We will move on.

6:00 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

I can't diss him...he is a great player.

6:00 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

percy harvin to the vikes is a pretty good pick, imo.

6:05 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Percy Harvin to the Vikes? I guess they play on artificial grass.

6:09 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

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?

6:11 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Titans on the clock, finally!

6:11 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

The Titans, with the 30th pick of the first round of the NFL Draft, select Dax Dellenbach, long snapper of Auburn University.

6:12 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

The Steelers take Shipley center? He visited the organization earlier.

6:15 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Beanie may be better than White but really, odd if it happens.

6:17 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

I heard the Colts may release Peyton Manning because he inquired about retiring and returning to play college football at Boston College.

6:18 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Nevermind

6:18 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

I was going to stroke out if they picked Beanie Wells! Kenny Britt could be good? I have never heard of him.

6:20 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

That kid from Rutgers is pretty good, but as always we'll have to see.

6:24 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

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!!!

6:34 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

laurinitis a 2nd rounder?

6:56 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

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?

7:27 PM

7:38 PM

Jet - ESPN draft tracker lists Pat White as a WR.

7:39 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

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.

7:40 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Anyone seen Senderick Marks in the draft? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

7:47 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

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.

8:21 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

With White, they can use Williams as the RB, White as the Wildcat and ship Ronnie for another player.

8:33 PM

wow, Blackhawks score 3 in less than 2 minutes, only the 1st was on pp

8:34 PM

woo hoo for sen'derrick!

8:45 PM  
Blogger chip chip said...

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.

8:47 PM  
Blogger chip chip said...

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.

8:50 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Good deal for Sen'Derrick ... with Haynesworth gone, there's a definite opportunity there.

8:59 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

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.

9:16 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

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.

9:21 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

AU1 - Dirty said tell you hello.

9:24 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Whatta 'bout me? Whatta 'bout me?

9:29 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

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.

9:29 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

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.

9:31 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

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.

9:40 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

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.

9:45 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

New thread up for Sen'Derrick Marks.

9:56 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Maybe I'm biased but I'm stoked about marks coming to the Titans.
