Stuff I missed on Thursday

Hey everyone. So in my efforts to gain clarity on the Chaz Ramsey situation, I failed to discuss a few lighter (but still notable) Auburn developments.

Things like that happen sometimes.

Auburn has scheduled its Fan Day extravaganza for Aug. 16. It will not be in Beard-Eaves as usual. It's going to be in Jordan-Hare this time and will run from 2-4 p.m. I didn't see much in terms of program changes, though allegedly there will be "game worn" jerseys for sale.
California DE Joel Bonomolo committed to Les Tigres late Wednesday night, our friends at the various Auburn-themed websites report. He attends a suburban Los Angeles junior college right now, but expects to be enrolled at Auburn in January. Bonomolo stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 245 pounds. He chose Les Tigres over a bunch of West Coast schools like Arizona and Arizona State.
Auburn is about to begin what is expected to be a significant recruiting weekend. This will be the last significant recruiting weekend until at least September. Among the most high-profile visitors will be Arkansas TB Michael Dyer, Arkansas TE Dakota Mosley, Georgia DT Jeffrey Whitaker and Greenville HS DT Kenneth Carter.

Dear Leader said...: Talk about mixed feelings on Chaz... I really hate it for him and feel he is justified in everything he is doing... just hate the bad press and that it could occur at AU....; 10:02 AM

Eddie McCoy said...: Yay for Fan Day! Who else will be attending? My 3 year old daughter has been wanting to see Aubie for awhile now, so I'll be there.; 10:13 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: I think Dear Leader just refreshes all day long till he sees a new thread ;)!!!!; 10:15 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: You can google Jenna Fischer, J-Z. I do that ... occasionally.; 10:15 AM
Jet said...: Ehyou ... To answer question from previous thread ... Past transgressions are manageable. Sovereign immunity would be useful for the future.; 10:22 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: J&M hasn't heard of any pep rally or toilet paper rumors :-(; 10:24 AM
Harrison said...: sometimes i even "google" myself; 10:25 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison, you're always making me google.; 10:30 AM
ehyou said...: for the record...
I have never googled Harrison.; 10:30 AM
Harrison said...: you're missing out; 10:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JayGT - I love the picture you used for this latest thread. Any chance you could change "west coast" to "PAC-10"? I'd sure feel better.; 10:34 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: he's right, ehyou:

Results 1 - 10 of about 78,200,000 for harrison; 10:35 AM
Monica said...: Thanks for the love, Luv.

Yay I get to stay in B'ham an extra day!

Steve is in Alabama and that's why he's been silent.

It doesn't seem fair that I have to suffer my sister's in law's does it? I may hide in my basement apartment.

THT - I loved your fable tease. Also, no new info from you-know-who's FB status. Sorry.; 10:42 AM
Monica said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 10:42 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: So Ahmad Dixon and Lache Seastrunk aren't making the trip, oh yeah and Trovon Reed, great....
Eric Mack the big OL man commits to USCe yesterday after many thought he was a silent commit to chiz

oh boy; 10:42 AM
WarEagleRK said...: We're making a lot of noise in recruiting, but so far it's just been a bunch of noise.

Hopefully we'll get some results out of all this effort. I'd hate to think Tub was right in that we just need to settle for our 3 stars and try to coach them up.; 10:46 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: bummer, i didn't see where Mack committed to USC.

Jenna Fischer is a solid google. Harrison google? hmmm.... we'll see.; 10:50 AM
AUfan said...: jhag, you're killing me. On the bright side, I would love to see Whitaker commit to Auburn. Top D-Lineman are a must-have. On the other hand, so are O-Lineman, and I don't see much action on that front. Are the coaches going to hit the JUCO's even harder to find some O-Linemen?; 10:50 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: oh, and i'll be at Fan Day Eddie. wouldn't miss it. i'll be available to take photos of you cuddled up with Tyrik if you wish. ;); 10:51 AM
FSJ said...: Looks like the Sports Illustrated SEC Preview is about to come out..

SEC

I love football season; 10:52 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: random question, but has anyone ever played Madden on the Wii? i want a PS3 but my wife is begging for a Wii. since NCAA10 is now on the Wii i figured i may be able to sneak it into the hizzie. just wondered how the gameplay was. awkward?; 10:52 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: thank goodness i'll be able to guy the Tennessee version of SI and miss the Nutt/Saban covers. yack.; 10:53 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: all the "noise" is starting to sound like a bunch of bad gas :-(

Mon - Sorry it was only a tease. It was the only thing I ever wrote that was good, but I can't remember it. The student teacher said she and her mom were crying from laughing so hard.... I miss Nubs.; 10:57 AM
AUfan said...: Hopefully, the Saban Worshippers will buy all of the copies before I have to see one at the store. What happened to the old days when SI sent out one issue to the whole country?; 11:00 AM
WarEagleRK said...: The internet killed those days. Magazine sales are down so they try every gimmick to get copies sold.; 11:01 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Scottie- Let's be sure to say hi as you snap my photo. I'll be needing a customized jersey and a customized T-Shirt for the Rolling with Rollison Express.

As for game jersey's for sale, Frank Cox, the old equipment manager, used to sale them for $45, I wonder what the price will be for these.; 11:06 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: wait, why the heck is Fan Day on a Sunday? they trying to hurt the out-of-town AU man? that's a long drive back on a Sunday afternoon. CONSPIRACY!; 11:07 AM
AUfan said...: RK, I can understand their thinking, but it doesn't carry as much prestige as it once did to make the SI cover. I can remember when that was something to brag about.; 11:07 AM
BinOBA said...: Yeah, they are pumping it up like saban is the only coach on the cover of SI this month over on AL.anygoonthatcanaffordacomputerwillbedrawnherelikeabugtoaflame. Has saban started to breathe through his mouth? Looks like he is on the cover. Houston Nutts cover has to be the best one i have seen, though.; 11:10 AM
AUfan said...: Eddie, who actually owns the jerseys after the season is over? Does the Athletic Department keep them, or do players have an opportunity to keep one for themselves?; 11:11 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Depressed- It depends. If Auburn goes to a bowl game, every player gets to keep their Jersey as part of the "Bowl Gifts" they receive. As for the jersey's worn in the season, usually family members or the players will buy them at the old stated price of $45. And for those that don't buy them all, it is usually sold to those within the program and some select few outsiders. They have more than just a home and away jersey per player, so there is usually plenty of extras. I have a Willie Gosha & Jeno James Jersey and I bought my brother a Pat Nix Jersey while I was there.; 11:16 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: One other thing Depressed, SR's usually get to keep their jersey's along with their helmets.

I forgot to sneak me a helmet out while I was there, but I had an inside source get me one which is currently in my office.; 11:17 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: It looks like Tiger Woods just double bogeyed the 10th. He is going to have to fight to make the cut.; 11:22 AM
Harrison said...: good. i love to see tiger pout and blow off reporters after he stinks it up. Anybody else that does that gets killed in the media; 11:24 AM
michael said...: Maybe he just acts like that because he has diarrhea, Harrison. Lots of people have diarrhea.; 11:25 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: any of y'all watch the tour de france? If I had even one iota of mechanical skills, I'd probably be riding a bike somewhere off road. But alas, even the most minor of bike-related mechanical malfunctions are an overwhelming task for me.

Really bummed about Levi Leipheimer breaking his wrist.; 11:27 AM
Harrison said...: now there's a topic I know something about; 11:28 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: *is; 11:28 AM
Harrison said...: the diarrhea, not tour de france; 11:28 AM
michael said...: At least Levi has that cool name to fall back on, THT.; 11:28 AM
michael said...: How does one deal with diarrhea during the Tour de france?; 11:29 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I thought you meant diarrhea on a bike; 11:29 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: yes, Michael, he does have that.; 11:31 AM
michael said...: I am envisioning a bike seat with a hole in it might make me millions with long distance bike riders...; 11:31 AM
Harrison said...: take your seat off the bike could help stop diarrhea; 11:31 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: THT- I watch. I love that it is in HD this year. It is absolutely stunning to watch it in HD. Looking forward to tomorrow's stage. The last 6 stages have had little drama as expected, I think tomorrow will be the day to watch.; 11:32 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Michael- As long as you direct the release onto your opponents with the hose, then you might be on to something. A competitve advantage.; 11:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: yes Eddie, that and the chance to have fried okra tonight are two good reasons I should stay home this weekend.; 11:33 AM
Harrison said...: like the oil slick on "spy hunter"; 11:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison, your solution sounds equal parts effective and painful. Or maybe just painful.; 11:34 AM
michael said...: Eddie - great idea. I will share .75% of the profits with you, not to exceed the amount of $13; 11:34 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I hope this discussion doesn't make the next Senate HABOTN resolution.; 11:35 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: the hose comment reminded me, via my loose association illness, of my favorite poem, The Death of the Ball-turret Gunner.

"When I died, they washed me out of the turret with a hose."; 11:36 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Michael- i'll take my profits in advance, you can go ahead and thru pay pal.; 11:38 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I doubt Jet is taking notes today!; 11:38 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Jet being a government employee, only physically has to be at work on Friday's, mentally, he is allowed to check out on Wednesday.; 11:39 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Mkay 50 Dias; 11:45 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: What up, jhag?

Have you picked a school yet?; 11:52 AM
AUfan said...: Eddie, I bet those jerseys and helmet make nice displays at your house. I can remember seeing jerseys (supposedly)used by Cadillac, Campbell,etc on a website for between $400-$500. I'm interested to see what the prices are at Fan Day.; 11:54 AM
Bellefay1 said...: Isla Fisher>Jenna Fischer

Just saying...

That being said, saw my first Auburn billboard in Atlanta yesterday on Peachtree-Industrial. If the goal was to make people think about Auburn/Auburn football, Auburn/Auburn football was not on my mind at the time until I saw the billboard so I guess, mission accomplished.; 11:57 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: depressed, my wife & i have an AU room at our house and have all 12 SEC helmets displayed on a bookshelf that i built. they look pretty sweet. i don't have 'game used' helmets, though. that would be even better.; 11:58 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: You know what pisses me off, is when someone walks into your office that you don't know and says the three most hated words in thew world, rtr. Of course he was here to collect the trash.; 12:00 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: one of my best ($$$) customers here is a bammer. he gives me grief in my office every day. it is annoying.; 12:01 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Scottie- They usually sell game worn helmets after spring practice from anywhere from $125 to $250 depending on the condition of the helmet.; 12:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: scottieB - you must remove the toxic filth immediately! Eleven helmets are more than enough.; 12:03 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: they look pretty sweet all together THT. i need to update my blog with all the additions we've done to the room. here's a preview if u wanna check it out:

www.weaglewagon.blogspot.com

i tried to make a link but with no success. :(; 12:11 PM
AUfan said...: Eddie, trash coming in, trash going out. It is amazing to see a seemingly decent person turn into an instant jerk when the subject of Alabama football comes up. This is the rule, rather than the exception in my experience.

scottie b, I've seen some of your displays on the wall in your blog profile. Looks great!; 12:16 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ScottieB - I'm sorry, but I have not yet reached your level of maturity. I will not allow anything of the sort in my house. And no doubt MrsTHT would divorce me if I did.; 12:18 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Here is the link to Scottie's blog. Just pay no attention to his halloween costume. That is horrid.

Scottie's Blog; 12:18 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Nothing decided yet, I've applied to Ole Miss, I will apply to Auburn, and FSU in August... Those three are the main choices...I might apply to the University of Texas just for giggles who knows; 12:19 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: jhag, you know we all favor Auburn, but if I had to go to another school, Texas would be right there. Austin is awesome and so are the women, just don't tell my wife.; 12:21 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: So, I sold exactly diddley at the ATL AU Club shindig last night. It was still fun to be there, though. The highlight was Tracy Rocker stopping by my booth and chatting for five minutes or so. When he spoke to the group, something I found interesting was that when he was on the Arky sidelines last year, he said he thought to himself, "That ain't Auburn. That's not how Auburn plays."; 12:25 PM
Harrison said...: Look slike Tiger's gonna miss the cut, I bet they still talk about him all weekend anyway; 12:30 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Everyone have a great rest of the day, I'm off to the ATL to watch the Braves and Mets and see Greg Maddux's jersey get retired.; 12:30 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Enjoy the game RK. I hope you stay dry.; 12:31 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Oh yeah, also last night Coach Rocker had high praise for Zach Clayton and Eltoro Freeman. Of course, he claimed not to know much about offense, but said he was really impressed with Lee Ziemba.; 12:32 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: thanks Depressed. i think we're at 70 or 71 framed prints/photos/etc.

THT, when i started my little project i was in grad school at UK and my wife was in school at UT. when we bought our 1st house 2 years ago it exploded.; 12:32 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Jhag, my sister works at FSU and loves it.

RK, that's AUsome. i fell asleep in the 7th last nite and missed the end of the game. glad the braves pulled it out.

cool u got to chat with The Rock last nite S-Choc. what exactly did he mean by "that's not how AU plays"? i'm assuming the offense?; 12:35 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Yeah, mostly the offense. He couldn't believe they were trying the finesse approach, and he definitely insinuated that they weren't playing tough, hard-nosed football.

Besides Rocker, probably the most well-known former player there was Ken Rice, although there were 7 or 8 others.; 12:44 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Rice was a beast in his day. i would like to meet him.; 12:47 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: jhag, I was going to say what Eddie said, but an urgent work related event called me away. So...
Ditto what Eddie said. Choose FSU only if in-state tuition is critical. Ole Miss is in the middle of nowhere, but it still isn't Auburn.; 12:50 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i want to take this opportunity to ditto THT who previously ditto'd Eddie.; 12:53 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ditto unto others what you would have ditto'd unto you.; 12:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: dang it! I had Beasley and didn't know it!

Schmalz; 12:57 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Ditto; 12:57 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i will trump your Schmalz and give you #90 Alton Moore!; 12:58 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: crap Eddie. how about #92 Craig Ogletree.; 12:59 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I though Ogletree was 94?; 1:01 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Now he's 94.; 1:01 PM
Will said...: Scottie, I graduated high school with one #90 Alton Moore. At least I think he graduated.; 1:03 PM
Will said...: jhag, explain again why, if you have a chance to go to Auburn, you would go somewhere else.; 1:04 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Ogletree was #94. i'm working on my 2nd Peach Nehi. it may have gone to my brain.; 1:06 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Ah, Craig Ogletree. Haven't heard that name in a long. I like that name as much as I like Benji Roland.; 1:09 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I'm outta here. Lake Martin is calling me. Have a great weekend everyone.; 1:13 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: too bad we won't be hearing the name Alec Ogletree; 1:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: too bad I killed, or at least seriously disabled the thread; 1:27 PM
cincytiger said...: It will revive.; 1:30 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I see a pulse, faint, but a pulse none-the-less.

All hype leading up to this potentially big weekend seems to have died, but I could be wrong.; 1:34 PM

Anonymous said...: Is anyone else worried that we aren't getting any OL recruit love?

This is not the best year for OL recruiting and most of the best are already committed. I had hoped to see some surprise OL attendees for this weekend. There is still a chance..and if it happens, it will be a huge surprise.; 1:40 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Summer commitments mean ... not that much.; 1:41 PM
Anonymous said...: Is C of C still just a preppy, expensive party school?

Austin, Tx. is awesome.; 1:42 PM
AU1292 said...: CofC would definitely be a good choice, I looked at going there but in the end up I ended up going to school in Atlanta before transferring to Auburn.; 1:44 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i had a friend who went to Emory in the ATL. she was smokin' hottt.; 1:47 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Unless it's Washington & Lee, I'm not a huge fan of highly expensive private schools to which I never could have gained admission. How can you not like a school named after Washington & Lee?; 1:54 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I do not consider Wake Forest to be in that "highly expensive private school..." category. That is my 2nd favorite ACC school.; 1:56 PM
AU1292 said...: When I graduated I thought I wanted to go to a small private school so I chose between Rhodes, Sewanee, Emory and Oglethorpe (where I went up going). It took me less then a semester to realize that a small school wasn't for me so I came to Auburn. With by brother being an alumnus of W&L I always loved visiting but I don't think I could of cut it there.; 1:58 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: texas a & m, if you must go to a texas school. hook em horns grates on me like rtr.; 1:59 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: the only ACC schools i have been to are Virginia, FSU, & Georgia Tech. i went up the UVA for the '97 AU game. it was a beautiful, historic campus but it was full of wealthy snots. i couldn't go there.; 2:00 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: TAMU irritates me b/c they don't have female cheerleaders. that's just wrong.; 2:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I inherited an autosomal dominant "must go to Auburn" gene from my father, so I never wanted to go anywhere else. If I didn't have that gene, W&L or UNC would have been my choices, though the former would not have chosen me.; 2:01 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: but that being said, i'd go there over Texas.; 2:01 PM
Harrison said...: I would go to Arizona State. I guess you guys can figure out why; 2:05 PM
Anonymous said...: Jay...I agree with that conventional wisdom, except that Mark Richt successfully started the early commit routine a few years ago and notice how many early commits there are now.

Hopefully we can locate some of the many recruits that blossom their senior year.; 2:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I always pull for TAMU vs TX, (my addiction to underdogs), but I'd definitely prefer schooling in Austin over College Station.; 2:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison - because you want to surf at a West Coast school?; 2:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison - you have a thing for chalupas?; 2:09 PM
Cory said...: I now have a favorite hottie. After watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which by the way was really funny, I think Mila Kunis should be the official HABOTN Hottie!; 2:10 PM

Harrison said...: if you could read; 2:12 PM
Anonymous said...: Back in the day...C of C lead the way in "Wealthy Snots".

College Station is very drab compared to Austin, Tx.; 2:12 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i'm sure Austin is ausome and is a great place to party/study/party but i have this bama feeling towards the Horns. just don't like 'em. but i've already studied at 3 SEC schools so it's moot for me anyways.; 2:13 PM

Scott M. Brannan said...: i've met my share of UT & TAMU students and i guess it's the "i'm better than you are attitude" that makes me really dislike TX. and no, my HATE level is on another plain when it comes to the bammers THT. no need to worry.; 2:21 PM

ehyou said...: jhag...
Make your campus visits. There's usually one place that really stands out. I went into the process unbiased, but that place was obviously Auburn for me.

I visited UAT with a completely open mind. I felt dirty when I left, no kidding.; 2:23 PM

Unknown said...: I cannot believe I gotta go back to work August 5th. I guess teachers no longer get 3 months off. I know, I know, I get a lot more vacation than most, but come October/November, I will be surrounded by 160ish 12-13 year olds daily. Hormones, attitudes, ahhh, middle school; 2:28 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Cool trip Bear. Were you as disappointed with the size of Mt. Rushmore as I was? I expected it to be huge, but it just seemed so small, but I was 14 at the time, so maybe it was expectations. Beautiful territory out there with the badlands.; 2:28 PM

Scott M. Brannan said...: i'm a big autograph collector so i think that kind of stuff is cool (if it's AU). the funny part was the Martin's Family Clothing.; 3:01 PM
Monica said...: good one tht; 3:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm a little autograph collector. If they write like John Hancock, I don't want it.; 3:10 PM
ehyou said...: It would be great to hand him a Quentin Groves picture for him to sign.; 3:12 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: oh, ehyou, that's right. i have a signed pic by Quentin drilling him from the '06 game. having both sigs together would make my heart smile.

THT, what autographs r u into?; 3:16 PM
Monica said...: HAHAHAH ehyou - now that's rich; 3:16 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Bear -- that means a lot.

I love the HABOTN remote pics. I have one of The Daughter on the Santa Monica Pier in her HABOTN shirt.; 3:17 PM

JPW at Martin's and Wayne Newton in Charleston, WV. It's true what they say. The sun don't shine on the same dawg's ass forever.; 3:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ScottieB - I was just being a 'tard. I don't collect autographs any more. I have most of the 1966 Green Bay Packers that I got one weekend in Baltimore. Even got to visit with my bammer hero, Bart Starr. We sold him some extra tickets we had.; 3:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica -that was great! I hadn't heard that b4; 3:29 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: that's cool you got to meet him & sell him your tickets THT. a lot different now, eh?

Unknown said...: Anyone interested in going to the UT game?

I reserved a 3 BDR timeshare condo (very nice, sleeps 10) in Sevierville for that weekend. This is way too much space for 1 person. I'd love to share it with some Hotties. Drop me a line if interested.; 5:05 PM
cincytiger said...: Yes, Monica, I am still waiting. But, they have found me one - coming straight from the factory the end of the month.; 5:10 PM
cincytiger said...: I think they thought they could out wait me and I would settle for my second choice color - but I can be very stubborn!; 5:11 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: NoVa - sure wish I could take you up on that, but I have the distinct displeasure of working that weekend :-(

Cincy - way to go!; 5:17 PM
Unknown said...: Are you saying you're going to let a little thing like work get in the way of football? ;-); 5:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: don't worry, I'll be careful not to be at work during the game. Although last time that happened I think was the 2003 game vs UF. hmmm; 5:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: scallops & shrimp pasta plus homemade crabcakes for dinner. Yummy!; 5:31 PM
cincytiger said...: THT,
What time is dinner? We are going to Outback, which is great because that means I'm not cooking!; 5:48 PM
FSJ said...: Just finished a delicious New York Strip......

Dessert.....chocolate cheesecake.

I'm not a bad cook if I do say so myself.; 6:48 PM
AU1292 said...: In a recent interview, Michael Dyer was asked if he was a silent commit to Auburn. His response was laughter followed by "yea, that might be true."; 6:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 1292 - now that's some positive posting! THanks for sharing :=)

cincy - dinner is over, including my large bowl of ice cream mixed with Biscoff cookies; 7:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Perhaps FSJ should cater the HABOTN tailgate!; 8:09 PM
Unknown said...: Walter Cronkite passed away.

With the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, I've been remembering his broadcasts of that event. I don't know if it was naiveté or if he really earned it, but I haven't really trusted a newsman since he retired.

And that's the way it is.; 8:17 PM
AUBigCat said...: Dyer video from today's 7-on7:
Dyer has AU #1

The more I hear from this kid the more I really like him. He and Seastrunk seem like two very intelligent young men.; 8:41 PM
AUBigCat said...: Just to clarify that 7-on-7 was in Arkansas not here.; 8:42 PM
cincytiger said...: BigCat,
I just watched this video and I really like Dyer. I'd love to have a team made up of quality guys like he seems to be.; 8:48 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: what a great young man. Thanks for sharing that, BigCat.; 8:49 PM
Unknown said...: If I were Petrino, I'd make time to talk to him.

Let's hope Chiz is keeping in close touch.; 8:56 PM
AUBigCat said...: Cincy I couldnt agree more!! I have been just as impressed with the personalities of many of these recruits as I have been with their athletic ability. Another gold star for this coaching staff in my book.; 9:14 PM
ehyou said...: 200 within sight.; 9:48 PM
ehyou said...: 200's no problem.; 9:49 PM
Miller said...: My allergies are driving me insane!!! I am about ready to jump off a tall building, this is nuts!

Do tickets come with the condo??; 10:15 PM
