Hey everyone. We have a few interesting topics coming out of practice today.- Harry Adams is now a wideout. If you recall, he's one of the team's fastest players and could be a game-changing element. That's what Ben Tate thinks, anyway.
- TB Eric Smith injured his right knee during Tuesday's practice. He was wearing a fairly invasive brace over the knee Thursday. The report I received is that the injury was only a "bone bruise or something like that." Then again, the injury was a non-contact situation. How can you bruise a bone without contact?
Gene Chizik and the coaching staff don't comment on injuries. So we'll just have to speculate. - DT Mike Blanc (aka The Happy Haitian) was asked to name the team's strongest players today. We received some surprising answers. He said DT Zach Clayton squats "in the 500s" and walk-on OL Rudy Odom is the 225-pound bench press master.
- Assistant coach Tommy Thigpen discussed his projected rotations at safety today. Zaccheus "Zac" Etheridge and Mike McNeil are the top guys, obviously. Christian Thompson and Mike Slade are the next two. Thompson has received a lot of praise from Thigpen this spring, so he's a guy you should be monitoring. The fifth guy, in case you're wondering, is Drew Cole.

ReplyDeleteWatching Tiger's 18th is still my favorite part of the day...so far.
ReplyDeletetres
ReplyDeleteHas Harry Adams ever not been a WR?
ReplyDeleteNice picture of Gus.
ReplyDeleteParks and Recreation is TOO much like office. tsk tsk tsk
ReplyDeleteIf you ever have the inclination to not appreciate this blog, check out the alternatives.....It's downright disgusting.
ReplyDeleteMon..does Greg know about your affinity for "Thunder Calves" CGM?
ReplyDeleteGreg said his calves keep him secure. (Greg has great calves)
ReplyDeleteehyoutiger - I'm an AL.COM refugee so I very much appreciate this blog. I hate the way the other ones end up with all the participants slamming each other or with constant bamer/barner crap.
ReplyDeleteand Jay G gives us uber cool videos, he asks the best questions and we have smokin hot tshirts
ReplyDeleteThe office plays flea market montgomery clip...AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteMon, i agree on parks and rec show. it was like a very cheap knock off...
ReplyDeletey'all are several time zones ahead of az. protect the suspense for us behind the timers...
ReplyDeletecheap knock off - exactly, JD
ReplyDeleteWhat's flea market montgomery????
Gus needs a training bra
ReplyDeleteThe guy from the Montgomery Flea Market is actually quite annoying in real life. His Flea Market is really creepy too. The workers in some of the stalls were hollering at my friends. I'm pretty too!
ReplyDeleteWould it be an invasive knee brace? Or should it be described better as a restrictive and cumbersome knee brace. Invasive to me sounds like something the Borg would do. Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteI am becoming addicted to your fly videos and thus, I am addicted to you in a strange but beautiful man love kind of thing. Only Michael touches my heart more.
Now, on to serious business. I do not believe that a quarterback will be named as the starter. They may have a depth chart, but that will only be known to a select few and any leak of that information will cause instant banishment to Thule, Greenland. As far as injuries go, I suspect there will be a lot of 'bone bruises' or other similiar innocuous answers that are both vague and misleading. They may even use archaic words and treatment terms like 'liniment oil" 'leaders and the pullers" to describe tendons and ligaments. They may even talk about players having bad vapors or the flux.
I feel like I've really missed out on something special by not being familiar with this Montgomery Flea Market!
ReplyDeleteThe OC's calves = Monica's Gus Kebabs.
ReplyDeleteMon, youtube flea market montgomery and you will understand. it is a store in montgomery where the store owner did a local ad on TV and it made it became a huge youtube sensation. he went on the ellen show about it. it, is a little lame to me but an insight on montgomery.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen a video of Flea Market Montgomery, Mon?
ReplyDelete"I am becoming addicted to your fly videos and thus, I am addicted to you in a strange but beautiful man love kind of thing. Only Michael touches my heart more."
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^That made me snort.
An invasive knee brace sounds like it penetrates his skin.
OK, on my way to Youtube it.
ReplyDeletewhy would they ever think that parks and rec would work? the thing that makes the office so good are #1 the characters that they have developed over a long time and #2 the style is a little different, the mockumentary is not your standard sitcom. Parks and Rec was just too much a wanna be to me.
ReplyDeleteit's jus like
ReplyDeleteit's jus like
a mini mawl!
okay mon the country roads song probably just put you over the top...although it brings back very bad memories of Noel Devine to me.
ReplyDeleteHe just scored again...
Are you all still baggin' on doofus form earlier?
ReplyDeletelurker is old news. No more.
oh my lowered they are singing Country Roads on The Office
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA yep JD it did!! snort
ReplyDelete"whoever thought the think that would save this business would be work"
ReplyDeletesnort
"and pancakes"
ReplyDeleteI'm ordering all my paper products from the Michael Scott Paper Company. Why? Because Paper is their Priority.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll quit reading this since I won't get to see the office until later.
ReplyDeleteJay, thoughts on tonights situational comedy on the National Broadcasting Comany entitled "The Office?"
ReplyDeleteSorry Sam
ReplyDeleteShould I give Southland a try?
ReplyDeleteMonica, you can at least DVR it and watch it when nothing good is on. Isn't that option wonderful
ReplyDeleteOld maid.
ReplyDeletei will be watching southland as i am in pensacola, FL right now at a holiday inn express and bored out of my mind. hope that it is good, cause the one thing that i need is another TV show to watch...
ReplyDeletethe guys who did ER and West Wing produce it so my guess is it will be good.
Love
ReplyDeleteLike sweetest reward
Let it float
It floats back to you
Nice
ReplyDeleteAustin! I'm not even trained to think that way yet. Yes, it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that, JD - about the ER/West Wing gang.
ehyou - very HOT new pic
ReplyDeletemay I be your Julie McCoy?
Jay G. - Need you and Wifey to go see The Soloist and bring us back a review. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo "The Office" for me tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Auburn writing and editing video and blogging. Surprised you don't know this.
Starting video now.
ReplyDeleteETA: 9:49 p.m. CDT
I was hoping we could have it by 9:48.
ReplyDelete"So it goes."
Glad to see Harry back on the O side. We've got enough DBs that we can keep WRs in their natural position.
ReplyDeleteI love a guy named Harry Adams who plays Wideout...just sayin'
ReplyDeleteSeastrunk said, "My mom has a wonderful relationship with Coach Luper and I really like that about Auburn."
ReplyDeleteIf you're on an unofficial visit do you have a host?
Jay, you're the man for hanging out and putting together a video.
ReplyDeleteI wish Jay G would use the Loveboat theme for his videos.
ReplyDeleteI could see a Jay G video with the opening song to Superbad in it.
ReplyDeletePromises something for everyone...
ReplyDeleteDenny Crum you totally got me hooked on House.
ReplyDeleteSouthland = me likey
is Ryan Williams off the team?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that Spongeworthy hasn't dropped by to let us know about the latest NCAA letter to Bama rumor.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff has gone on so long it is going to embarrassing for a lot of AU fans if not true.
What I don't get is that if it is true, why not just wait and let it happen instead of fueling rumor mills.
What is the rumor? They are just waiting to hear what the decision of the committee.
ReplyDeleteJD - did you hear him say the p word?
ReplyDeleteHarry Adams back at WR is a good thing. I remember reading about some of the track competitions between he and PPL aka Frenchy in high school. Adams is a burner!!
ReplyDeleteMontgomery Flea Market... one of the few simple pleasures that I miss about the Gump LOL!
I'm going to be four or five minutes late. I decided to get cute with the music and that delayed me a tad.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't resist the Loveboat could ya?
ReplyDeleteI saw on Auburn Undercover where Seastrunk, a high profile runningback from Texas, is apparently very interested in Auburn. It says he would be the most high profile runningback recruit since Caddy. I thought that was interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe move of Harry Adams shouldn't be too much of a surprise. We have a lot of depth in the defensive secondary. At first I wondered because we have a lot of receiving talent, but since we will be in a spread formation it makes since. We will need a lot of them.
Oposer yes Ryan Williams is gone. He enrolled at a JUCO.
ReplyDeleteMon, This is just something I read on Scout's free board. Supposedly Bama is getting a letter from the NCAA tommorrow outlining 144 violations.
ReplyDeleteI haven't lived in Alabama since graduation in 1980 and haven't kept up with anyone close to Bama in years, so I have no idea if it is true. According to the comments pertaining to the original post, these "letter" rumors have surfaced previously.
Is it fire or a smoke machine causing this reoccurence.
Ryan Williams was banished months ago. Yes, he's off the team.
ReplyDeleteSteve Lache (pronounced Lake) Seastrunk is the truth!! Watch his video.
ReplyDeleteWe dont have many WRs that will be as fast as Adams.
I'm having a minor view issue. Sorry about that. I'll update.
ReplyDeletethe suspense is killing me. I NEED this video.
ReplyDeleteLove, exciting and new,
ReplyDeleteCome aboard.
We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow,
it floats back to you.
The Love Boat
soon will be making another run.
The Love Boat promises something for everyone.
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.
Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
It's Looooove!
Welcome aboard - It's Looooove
Cecil Hurt said that as bama didn't satisfy the NCAA committee via a disposition summary they had to go to San Diego (I think) to appear before that committee. He said that odds were more than good that they would be put on probation. He also said what that probation would mean was anyone's guess.
ReplyDeleteTheir appearance was Feb 20th and that the decision would be release in 6-10 weeks.
Whew. Video now up.
ReplyDeleteSpeed is a good thing at wide receiver, but not necessarily necessary. I prefer a receiver that can catch a football. At times we seem to have had receivers with a football allergy.
ReplyDeleteI think you should make a voice recording of that and post it for us, Hoopie!
ReplyDeleteI sing bass in our 50 person church choir. I "blend" in......any solo I sing is purely by accident.
