Hey everyone. This is a quick note to share: Georgia WR Antonio Goodwin has verbally committed to Auburn. We know this because our friends at AuburnSports relayed that information via text alert.Rivals.com has Goodwin listed as a 4-star prospect.
He has offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Tennessee and basically every other major school.
Auburn now has 12 commitments.
NOTE: I altered the time of this post so the top of the AUBURN blog has an AUBURN story.
WE'VE GOT 12!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesorry, i couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteRivals should have him down to 3 stars by February, amirite?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, in case you were wondering and I haven't said it lately or nearly enough:
ReplyDeleteI HATE BAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
and
Rolling with Rollison '09 is alive and well.
This is dude is good.
ReplyDeleteWe still need OL.
I hate Bama.
Has bama pulled thier offer yet?
ReplyDeletein case you haven't had enough of the TEBOW LOVE TRAIN he is the cover boy for SI this week again. great article. yes, i have a man-crush. deal.
ReplyDeleteIs it true that we will be moving him to a new position -- wide guard?
ReplyDeleteJet turn your Yahoo on, please and thank you.
ReplyDeleteJet is in trouble!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice to get a top player from the state of Georgia that UGA and the other top SEC programs were after. Good to see some results from the coachs' hard work.
ReplyDeleteNice
ReplyDeleteNice pick-up for the good guys! My co-workers son is a MLB for Opelika HS and just came into my office. He thinks Corey Grant is heading to UF becasue Myer promised that he would start. Guess we'll see in about 30 mins or so
ReplyDeletedepressed- Just wait till Grant makes it official, and this commitment will not be important to the in-state talk shows.
ReplyDeleteEddie- sad, but true.
ReplyDeletehot digital dog
ReplyDeleteI think PF will agree, this is a substantial commit.
WAR EAGLE!!!
BigCat, do you ever hear news on Dee Finley, the safety from Auburn High School that signed with UF?
ReplyDeleteYou are right Eddie, but that is why this commit was posted an hour before 12. Anyone play chess? Get it?
ReplyDeleteJay G. where is your seat? I'm a visual person ya know.
ReplyDeleteBigEZ- I get the Chess, but usually you are only playing against one queen, not multiple.
ReplyDeleteThat kid has some serious speed. Future deep threat.
ReplyDeleteMon wins
ReplyDeleteYoutube has some film on him I'm guessing, right?
ReplyDeletewhat does i win? what did i do????
ReplyDeleteSaban had his film removed and his ranking is now a 2-star
ReplyDeleteha ha eddie.Killer Queen a lah guitar hero..
ReplyDeleteYou're just being you, Mon.
ReplyDeleteAnd my seasonal posting begins in 3...2...1...
ReplyDeleteNice pick up...
Maybe we'll hear something about Mr. Grant today?
Since Tebow has been a major subject at Media Days:
ReplyDeletehttp://loserwithsocks.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/jortsillustrated.jpg
waddup James in B-ham
ReplyDeleteJames in B'ham sighting! Woo hoo!!!
ReplyDeleteJames...James...
ReplyDeleteI once knew a hottie named, James.
Could this be THAT James???
I promised Jay G that I would be back and today feels "right" for some reason... sort of like coming home after a long trip...
ReplyDeleteJAAAMMMMEESSS!!!!!!!!!! welcome back.
ReplyDeleteMon-JayG is sitting on his seat. That is where it is.
ReplyDeleteso which hottie will break the Grant commit first? stay tuned. 11 minutes and counting....
ReplyDeleteDepressed I havent heard much about Finley since he re-signed with UF.
ReplyDeleteNever thought Tebow would have a piercing. Thanks for that Michlea
ReplyDeleteMy office is pretty close to OHS. If I thought the outcome would be favorable for us, I'd drive by there. I hope I'm surprised though. Getting him and Goodwin on the same day would be a great July suprise!!
ReplyDeletehe has nice legs in that pic. who knew?
ReplyDeleteJAMES!!!!!!!! Welcome back! Good to see you.
ReplyDeleteGrant....has decided he likes ice cream as punishment, more to report later.
ReplyDeleteNo conspiracy at Rivals what-so-ever, take a look at how our commits fair after making their pledge to play for us:
ReplyDeleteJeremy Richardson: dropped 23 spots in Rivals250 (remained 5.8 4-star)
Demetruce McNeal: dropped 20 spots in S rankings (remained 5.6 3-star)
Jonathan Mincy: dropped 10 spots in CB rankings (remained 5.7 3-star)
Proof is in the pudding.
Yeah, Grant to Bama. Countdown 4 minutes. The bad thing is that his dad made comments that appear to be a straight up lie. "Only he and God Know" come on pops everybody knows or should know the deal. Good ole dad had a lot to do with that decision.
ReplyDeleteMy seat: I'm about halfway up on the left side of the podium ... if you are sitting in the crowd.
ReplyDeleteLong time no see James!!
ReplyDeleteBigEZ ... "come on pops."
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
Welcome back, James.
ReplyDeleteEddie, he likes being buried on a depth chart until the commies decide to get rid of him. Maybe send him to Georgia Tech.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warm welcome back Hotties...
ReplyDeleteGive Ian an hug good-bye for me, Jay G.
ReplyDeleteI will miss him.
yeah, i'm absolutely worthless at work today. tomorrow will be even worse i'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteNew thread for Urban is up.
ReplyDeleteyeah just checking to see if people have changed threads
ReplyDeleterechanged I mean
ReplyDeletethread's up, ho's down.
ReplyDeleteI'm here, I'm ready to make this the official thread
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya seanzie
ReplyDeleteI can't even post first the 2nd time around
ReplyDeleteMon-repeat that phrase in the voice of Jack Nicholson as the Joker and it come out even better.
ReplyDeletebut I am on my 4th can of Coca-Cola product right now, Sean.
ReplyDeleteI have returned from the salon (my fingers and toes look fabulous) where NO ONE was talking football!
ReplyDeleteI just finished my first dynasty year on NCAA 2010. I had like 3200 passing yards with Kodi Burns!!! 8-0 and a WR in the top 5 Heisman finalists. I couldn't run the ball to save my life. 9-4 with wins over UGA, Bama and in the bowl. Prophetic...we'll see.
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good. I think I shall partake of a diet coke with lime.
Sean - does that make you an idiot? This "idiot" thing must've started while I was on the left coast because I don't remember it. I'm not sure what the protocol is on calling you an idiot.
ReplyDeleteTHT, was your post on returning starters for Auburns' offense supposed to cheer me up? I am unclear.
ReplyDeleteYou're a scholar and a gentleman, THT. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad about getting a retroactive 1st post on one of the threads today. I think I'll do the Tebow thing and donate it to charity (as long as I can get a tax deduction)
ReplyDeleteI think I need to follow up Cincy's advice and head to the salon.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand a place where they don't talk football - we even discuss it in my Sunday School class. Ray Melick is in my class - I am always giving him a hard time.
ReplyDeletedepressed, I guess I left off the ";-)"
ReplyDeleteNorm, I made some sarcastic remarks to one Macho Grande. Some others jumped in afterward. Macho said "Hey Sean the Idiot!" Anyway he went on to say that we're all a bunch of haters and he isn't a Bama fan. So I kind of ran with it...
ReplyDeleteThat 8-0 was my attempt at a look of shock. Fail...
ReplyDeletefunk - i was too confused on how 8-0 went to 9-4, yet wins over Ga, UA-T, and bowl? The schedule is scrambled up?
ReplyDeleteEddie,
ReplyDeleteThis is going back to a post a bit ago, but how can their status change on Rivals if they haven't played a game this season? Upon what do they base these rankings? This really is a serious question.
8-0 conf. record means losses to all non-conf teams?
ReplyDeleteCincy it's arbitrary. Hence why they are more for fun than evaluation. One of Larry Coker's assistants and Miami admitted they used the services to rank players and recruit without doing traditional evaluations. Explains why Miami are where they are.
ReplyDelete"Man of the Year" jet
ReplyDelete"Venerable" jet
"Augustus" jet
"Magnum" jet
Jumbo Jet? nah, forget that one.
ReplyDelete8-0 was meant to be one of those computer facial expressions, haha.
ReplyDeleteI lost to LA Tech and WVU.
"Disco Jet"
ReplyDeleteWinner, winner. Discussion over.
Cincy - you must bring the football talk to salon! You can do it. If anyone can YOU CAN!
ReplyDeleteMaaaaaaan of course C Grant to Bama
ReplyDelete:banghead:
Oh, I see, eyes & mouth gaping wide in amazement. Sorry, funk, I'm too old to catch those cues.
ReplyDeleteBut we got Goodwin, Jhag!
ReplyDeleteI fear cincy would be conversing with herself and the salon might call the police.
ReplyDeleterats! 4th time this week I had the Beasley post, and only once did I realize it ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteDontcha just love the idea of Kodi passing 3200 yards?!?! Sure its a video game, but hey its supposed to be realistic and all. BTW I'll take 9-4 this year even if it does mean the chiding for losing to La Tech.
ReplyDeleteschofunk, you are apparently one of the prognosticators that I admire most. You predict us winning our bowl game against an apparently unknown opponent. Is this based upon a specific team you think we will play, or do you just feel we can beat any bowl opponent?
ReplyDeletecincy, my totally un-scientific approach to recruiting is to look at the schools that are offering a player. I've seen more than one 3-star player that had offers from all of the top teams in the SEC. I tend to think they are probably deserving of a higher rating based on their offers. Highlight tapes mean little to me, because by definition they are the best plays that a player has had. We never see the bad plays from the same games. I would love to sit in with a coach and see how they evaluate players.
ReplyDeleteCincy- It's all subjecctive, but just try and trend what UAT recruits do once they commit. Can you say Recruiting National Championship #3 on the way?
ReplyDeleteThey watch the men hater channel in there (Lifetime) and there is always some dreadful movie on about a woman who sets her husband on fire because he beat her or something similar. When I do bring up Auburn or football, they just kind of smile and nod. I don't think they understand me.
ReplyDeleteTheir loss, cincy. All the Hotties understand you just fine!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I will stick with my prediction of 7 wins. Any more than that is gravy. I am not counting the bowl game because I am not a good enough prognosticator to predict games against un-named opponents.
ReplyDeleteSteve- I didn't wanna post the whole schedule and scores, lol. I beat Iowa in the Capital One Bowl. I averaged about 31 points a game. That had me salivating. Offense, what's that?
ReplyDeleteAUBURN GOES 14-0 and WINS THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. WE ARE JUST THAT GOOD!!!!
ReplyDelete6-8 wins is a realistic outlook of this "regular" season.
Funk- Steve has gotten your EA Dynasty confused with you making Auburn Predictions. Just a little disconnect there.
ReplyDeleteBraves - Giants 1 -1 in bottom of 6th, 1 on, 1 out
ReplyDeleteThere is a difference between EA and reality?
ReplyDeleteoops, strike em out, throw em out, end of 6th, still 1 -1. Hoping Bobby doesn't get tossed.
ReplyDeleteI love the optimism on the HABOTN about win totals... and no I'm not being facetious...
ReplyDelete7-6 with a bowl win feels about right. We'll need to beat a Conference USA team to make it over .500
ReplyDeleteyep, Bobby's tossed
ReplyDeletecrap, i forgot about the early Braves game! thanks Cincy!
ReplyDeletelooking at things realistically, did anyone, ANYONE, think bama was going to go 12-0 in the regular season? I just think lots of things can happen - I like Eddie's thoughts, Auburn 14-0 and wins the National Championship. I love living in an orange colored world!
ReplyDeleteI have the Lifetime Movie Channel on channel block on Mrs. Jet's TV.
ReplyDeleteNo need to expose her to any bad ideas in regard to marital discipline.
there y'all go setting me up for unrealistic expectations. Shame on y'all for predicting mediocrity which makes me secretly expect a breakout season a la 1972 or 1993.
ReplyDeleteMy husband aptly calls in the Men hater channel
ReplyDeleteSteve EA=Reality don't let anyone tell ya different
ReplyDeleteDeja vu... I've seen this thread before, but where?
ReplyDeleteCincy ...
ReplyDeleteI didn't think so in the preseason, but once they started steamrolling UGA, the thought crossed my mind.
Winning games builds on itself. We just need to get off to a good start and who knows what can happen.
ReplyDeleteThe Illustrous PotenJet
ReplyDeleteI always think UAT will go 12-0. That way, every loss is that much sweeter!
ReplyDeleteI still hate bama, just as I have since the moment of conception.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of schedules, I took a look at Alabma's just to see. Va Tech and LSU. I don't believe in Ole Miss and its a hope for Auburn but ya never know. But they get FIU, North Texas and UT Chat for their other out of conference games, so I think they're set up pretty good for the year.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about doing a Cobra Commander heal turn and revealing I am a bammer. You guys think I should go through with it?
ReplyDeleteMichael- Go ahead you bammer.
ReplyDeleteA puppet hatin bammer?
ReplyDeleteI think Michael has everyone wondering how they should react right now.
ReplyDeleteDeath to Bammers! It's the HABOTN Way.....well, it's my way.
ReplyDeleteThis was the news I shared with the campfire last night. WOOHOO!!!
ReplyDeleteEven a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
WDE!
Nice pick up!
Michael/Boxhead/JanTeri - You're an idiot.
ReplyDelete(sorry Sean)
Michael, you lost me with "heal turn". Are you trying to make us sick?
ReplyDeleteAhhh a campfire....
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to one of those in a while... I need to remember how to log in to Chatroll...
Heal turn is wrestling lingo, like when a face (good guy) suddenly turns into a heal (bad guy) for no apparent reason.
ReplyDeleteRoll Tide!
No Offense Michael, the RT looks like it fits. Maybe, just maybe there is hope for your team having a good season this year :)!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEddie - I saw your post about Owens. Any more nuggets?
ReplyDeleteheel turn is a wrestling term (and also an advanced knitting maneuver)
ReplyDeleteHeal turn is altogether different. Take it from me, the most homonymically challenged Hottie
AU1- So called recruiting experts seem to suggest a 90% chance of us landing him.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen our recruiting class, Eddie? Bama will be back on top this fall, just like we should be!
ReplyDeleteI think this is actually the third or fourth time I have turned bama fan on HABOTN. Sorry if my shticks are getting repetitive at this point.
Michael- You're like Rodney Carrington, it never gets old.
ReplyDeleteHomonymically ... very nice THT
ReplyDeleteFor those wanting to lynch micheal, the line forms here.
ReplyDeleteUs wrasslin fans ain't known for our riting ability, mr smarty pants.
ReplyDeleteIt's steal reel too me, dammit!
Michael- Do you have "wet brain?"
ReplyDeleteSomeone call the Goddess, Michela has lost his mind
ReplyDeleteI don't have wet brain, but I do the top coach in the nation leading my team - Nick Saban!
ReplyDeleteMichael the Bama fan, if you are really a Bama fan, tell me, how many teeth does your sister have?
ReplyDeletethe Giants just took a 2-1 lead over the Braves in the top of the 8th.
ReplyDeleteSteve, I broke in front of the line. He will be changing his name to Jan-Teri the Bammer in just a second.
ReplyDeleteSteve- You mean his wife?
ReplyDeleteSame thing eddie.
ReplyDelete"steal reel to"
ReplyDeletenow that's the cleverness to which I expire
Michael, I'm concerned for you, please check out this site.
ReplyDeletewww.NCPC.org
My cousin/wife/sister has her full set of teeth still. Plus two or three extra teeth scattered around her mouth. I like to think of them as bonus teeth. Woohoo small gene pool! War Saban!
ReplyDeletecrap, now it's 4-1 Giants.
ReplyDeleteWhite Sox dude has a perfect game going right now.
ReplyDeleteWell, good night / evening / afternoon to all on HABOTN. Maybe this funk will be removed for tomorrow's main event where we find out that Gene Chizik didn't vote Tebow as 1st string QB :)!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMichael- "I see your true colors" !!!!
You can't be a REEL bammer Michael. Your little hat on your pic ain't crimpsun with a script a on it. If you really were a bammer that'd be the furst thang you'da changeded up.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually shocked some media guy asked Tebow if he was a virgin. Good grief.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe he's going to make the next messiah - which WOULD make him ... you know.
ReplyDeleteMon...
ReplyDeleteI heard the "noon" idiots on JOX yesterday getting all excited like little school girls because the guy they were talking to was going to ask Tebow that question.
Radio in the Ham is going the way of everything else around here... down the toilet!
Someone say something about my hat?
ReplyDeleteMonica - are you serious?!?! That's just wrong.
ReplyDelete"Writer Tate" is too common for our great JayGT. "Omnipotent Writer Tate" would be more accurate. The dude can change the space time blog continuum to keep AUBURN on top!
ReplyDeletenot sure what's better MJT, your hat or your video. that's a tough one.
ReplyDeleteI am bored ordering my Tim Tebow virginity promise ring online so I will get off subject..
ReplyDeleteRecruiting Perspective:
Yesterday Bama got a TE Vogler- Well a.) we got one hell of a TE last year, remember Philip (something German sounding) b.) if we got any TE this year, which I dont think we are looking for, I would love to have Dickson out of Ocean Springs. His brother is the bad ass TE for LSU.
Bama got Opelikas RB Grant - a.) relax, we just got a great WR, that was wanted by everyone, not just UAB. so be happy.
b.) With only losing Tate next year I say we get one maybe two RB this year, plus I think Seastrunk and Dyer are our main targets.
Oh and wait, its only freaking July so none of this could mattter in six months...
My money is on Spurrier being the culprit and I have already prepared his response to the question: Tebow who?
ReplyDeleteMichael - if you weren't so funny I'd be getting pretty grossed out about now. Your hate gene obviously is not being expressed to its full potental.
ReplyDeleteaccompanied with a smirk and tha lip smack thing he does right, Steve?
ReplyDeleteThe writer who asked Tebow that question is named Clay Travis, he is a comedey/sports writer. Plus he is a huge UT fan. He has written for Cbssportline.com, deadspin.com and he published and SEC football book that was pretty good where he went to every SEC stadium one year. It was tasteless, but we all know shocking humour and journalism sells.
ReplyDeleteladarious owens is set to announce his decision july 31st at 6 pm
ReplyDeleteI sported this avatar for a couple of months last year. Didn't you realize that Jan Terri and the Bar used to date? She is still Auburn through and through, though. It was a house divided situation.
ReplyDeleteEddie-How is this for conspiracy:
ReplyDeleteT Reed is the 2nd rated WR on Rivals but is a 4*. He is showing no interest in UAT.
K Prater is the 3rd rated WR on Rivals and is a 5*. He has UAT in his top 5.
(Just stirrin' the pot)
Still no crimpson Michael, making it tough to believe you've made the full turn
ReplyDeleteNo truth to the rumor that Tebow signed with Florida because he thought the team was called the "Waiters."
ReplyDeleteIsn't it feasible to believe that once a prospect decides he may be Saban material, he will work that much harder to become a better player, thus making the star addition just a precursor to what we all know will happen anyway?
ReplyDeleteMichael, you have bneen rading too many AL.com responses. You have the answers down pat. Oh yeah, you have to end with 5-19 or 36-0.
ReplyDeleteor Got 12
ReplyDeleteGood move on the hat though
ReplyDeleteToday, July 23, 2009 ... a date that will live in infamy ... the United States of HABOTN was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Puppetlavia.
ReplyDeleteIt will be recorded that the distance of Michael's Brain from Puppetlavia makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Puppetlavian government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States of HABOTN by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
Sadly, this is not true. Michael has fallen.
Here's a neat NCAA 2009 schedule done with old school helmets. http://www.sendspace.com/file/utxbqn
ReplyDeleteI dig all the throwback head gear.
And in baseball news...
ReplyDelete"The White Sox's Mark Buehrle, already the owner of one
no-hitter, made it two against the Rays, weaving the 16th perfect game in modern history."
From ESPNs home page right now...
More than impressive...
Jet-check your FB messages.
ReplyDeleteWTC ...
ReplyDeleteI'd rather turn my Yahoo on!
But I will.
Grant to be a return specialist at Bama. Wowzers!!! I bet he can't wait.
ReplyDeletemichael...
ReplyDeleteI am crushing your head Kids In The Hall style.
I hope you barners have fun with that gimmicky spread offense again this year while Saban keeps reeling in prospects who would actually like to play in the NFL one day.
ReplyDeleteI love the head crushing guy! Kids in the Hall was so awesome.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong to wake up every morning hoping to hear the news that Nick Saban spontaneously burst into flames and was sucked back into the fiery bowels of hell from whence he emanated?
ReplyDelete'Cause if it's wrong, I don't wanna be right.
The factors leading to spontaneous human combustion are rare.
ReplyDelete(Sorry I actually heard that comment on the Discovery channel and it cracked me up for some reason.)
How the heck are ya, Krasteenuh?
ReplyDeleteI am good, Mchiela. How are you and the fam?
ReplyDeleteCould it still be considered "spontaneous" if I poured gasoline all over him and stood nearby to smoke?
ReplyDeleteWe are all good, Kristeehnu. Well, the youngest has a temperature, but you know what I mean: the general health of the MJT fam is good.
ReplyDeleteSo will you be back around now that football is back (kind of)?
Campfire tonight? If so, what time?
ReplyDeletePUPPET HOUR NOW!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're having a Saban Roast at 9, J-Z
ReplyDeleteMaybe...if you're lucky. ;-)
ReplyDeletework hour, now! :-(
ReplyDeletewow, nothing like work to kill a puppet hour
ReplyDeleteSean, go by that fancy whatever it is you wanted to buy. I'm on KO can #5 and I haven't even left work yet. We're always good for another can or two at home.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Dr. Beverly Crusher in that episode where she was stuck on a fake Enterprise while everyone else was on the real Enterprise.
ReplyDeletedfsdf g hledrgh93h9
ReplyDeleteSo rugby style punters are now fair game. I guess that would limit the fake punts.
ReplyDeleteThank God it didn't happen when we had a gambler HC and an inept offense.
Oh.. and welcome to the family, Goodman.
ReplyDeletewhere's Norm?
ReplyDeleteIts fun to see bammers get all excited about the 632 yards #11 RB. Funny how #12 - #16 RBs all have at least twice as many yards as Mr Grant, and most of them have more yards / carry.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, here' to the bammer moral victory. They should make him and petey smith roommates.
May the thread rest in peace.
