Hey everyone Our friends at AuburnSports.com, AuburnUndercover.com and ITAT are reporting that DE Justin Delanie has committed to Auburn.
He is the 15th player to announce plans to sign with Auburn in 2010.
He apparently played at Sumter County High last season, but will be at Linden High this fall. He's tall (6-foot-5) and apparently is an excellent sprinter. Yes, sprinter.

ReplyDeletegot me michael, well played
ReplyDeleteSubstance triumphs again!
ReplyDeleteSo our new commit is supposed to have a freakish dunk against pell city somewhere on the internets. I hear he's a bigger version of Quentin Groves and has possibly transferred to linden i am hearing.
ReplyDeleteHe's not listed on Rivals, so any info would be helpful.
ReplyDeletethat is all pure speculation, though and i don't wanna "report" anything really so it's kinda like substance , unsubtantiated substance?
ReplyDeleteglad the young man has committed, hopefully he'll be an outstanding human being and a pretty good football player
ReplyDeleteNo scouting services have information on the kid.
ReplyDeleteSomeone at AL.com posted they think he will be a sign and place. But people at AL.com are a bunch of idiots, so who knows.
ReplyDeleteI think I know, but does sign and place mean we sign them and then send them to juco?
ReplyDeleteBinOBA,
ReplyDeleteCould you please send me an order of fried crab claws and that awesome seafood pasta?
If we have substantive speculation, do we call it "Speculance?"
ReplyDeleteI'm just excited we are about to get to see some football. Gonna be great to watch an OC that "schemes" and looks for mismatches and disadvantages in space in relation to personell instead of just puttin er out there and seein what happens.
ReplyDeleteCorrect cincy. It is signing someone you know won't be academically ineligible.

People on al.com idiots? Crap!!! There goes all my inside sources.
ReplyDeleteMichael I post a video for you. Did you see it?
ReplyDeleteI saw it Monica and now I can't get that song out of my head. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice
ReplyDeleteha sorry Cincy! :-)
ReplyDeleteI did it to myself, too.
Yes Monica, and it was pretty much perfect. What is it you think we have done? Was it something I typed?
ReplyDeleteI'm in on the HABOTN Pickers contest and plan on winning.
ReplyDeleteJet..after reading Mon's analysis of your "challenges" at the end of the previous thread....I'm gonna take J-Z's generous pine cone offer.
I hope everyone we sign we know won't be academically inelligible.
ReplyDeletesorry cincy, kitchen closes at 9:30 on sunday
ReplyDeleteAnd if you sign up today, I'll throw in an acorn.
ReplyDeleteHoopie are you throwing down pick 'em smack already????
ReplyDeleteI like it.
Panthers kicking off to Giants
ReplyDelete17-17, 57 secs to go
I don't do psychoanalysis. I'm so not a Freudian and I don't have the attention span for that.
ReplyDeleteLet the pickem smack begin!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had 13 bags of Oreo cookies. And milk.
ReplyDeletehallelujah. Crazy INT play returned for TD on last play saved us from the excitement of preseason OT football.
ReplyDeleteI had an interesting situation occur today. My business partner is a La Tech alum. He actually started talking smack to me today about the game.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that when I started to put him in his place, even I wasn't convinced by the propaganda I was spewing. What to do?
J-Z ...
ReplyDeleteI'm going to send you to Uncle Trooper's Re-Education Camp.
I suggest you examine your commitment to the cause. It's never the substance of your argument. It's the delivery.
ReplyDeleteWell...I handled it the only way I knew how. I broke the bottle of PBR I was drinking off on my desk and stabbed him with it.
ReplyDeleteThat works.
ReplyDelete"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." --Hunter Thompson
ReplyDeletej-z's words to live by for the day.
So, essentially, you just wasted very good Jet and Monica advice as you already handled the situation.
ReplyDeleteThat's gonna cost ya.
I wanted to see if there was a more rational solution. Apparently, there wasn't.
ReplyDeleteJ-Z ... the PBR bottle always works in a pinch, but I would have thought you were swifter than that.
ReplyDeleteDelaine is being quoted as saying that he has work to do in the classroom. grrrr!
ReplyDeleteHowever on the flip side, Tie-RICK also had work to do in the classroom in order to qualify and he made it.
Hey, BinOBA,
ReplyDeleteIt's MONDAY!
So this is totally unrelated to anything we have talked about, but no one is talking football, so I'm posting it. I don't know why this is so funny to me, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteJust for laughs
Good morning HOTTIES!!! Rise and Shine!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY CLIFF HARE - ALEXANDER WRIGHT DAY!!!
T-minus 18 days til kickoff!!!
Clifford Leroy Hare was a member of Auburn’s first football team in 1892, president of the old Southern Conference, longtime chairman of Auburn’s Faculty Athletic Committee, dean of the school of chemistry, and state chemist from 1930-48. He taught physical and organic chemistry at Auburn for 50 years. He also was an Auburn city councilman. Auburn Stadium was renamed Cliff Hare Stadium in 1949.
Each year, the highest honor an Auburn student-athlete can receive is the Cliff Hare Award (male) or the Leah Rawls Atkins Award (female). The Cliff Hare Award is presented to the senior male student-athlete "who, in addition to athletic and scholarship achievement, exhibits in great degree the qualities of leadership, integrity and courage."
Alexander Wright was a sooooper fast WR 1986-89, playing a vital role in the 1989 Iron Bowl win in Jordan-Hare Stadium. His career 23.6 yards per reception is still an Auburn record.
"Ace" Wright played a total of 7 NFL seasons with the Cowboys, Raiders, and Rams. This Auburn graduate was twice named the NFL's fastest man and once ran a 4.09 forty. Yes, that's faster than Bo. Wright set a Dallas Cowboys record with a 102 yard KO return in 1991.
I'm very proud of this great Auburn man. I encourage you to read why here. After retiring from the NFL, Wright resumed his education, earning the M.A. in Sports Management. He is currently Athletic Director at San Jacinto Christian Academy which, of course, is not in San Jacinto, TX, but in Amarillo on the high plains of the Texas panhandle.
Honorable Mentions:
Randy Walls, QB who led The Amazin's to a 9-1 regular season record.
Foster Christy, started and lettered at FB all 4 years he was at Auburn. He was inducted into the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame. This Auburn grad has a Master of Divinity, teaches a weekly men's Bible study (in SFC's neighborhood), and is involved in leadership at his home church in Columbia, SC. Foster is part of the Kingdom Building Ministries speaking team. [source: www.fosterchristy.com]
Haygood Paterson, Jr. - Tackle on Auburn's 1932 Southern Conference Champions. (His father lettered in 1903-05).
WARRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
GO TIGERS!!!
p.s. How did Cliff Hare end up at #18? After all, they didn't have jersey numbers in 1892.
Answer: There is an 1892 team photo in the AU Archives on which the players have been identified by a number key. Number 18? The great Cliff Hare, who may have been Auburn's first keeper of the clipboard (Dean Hare was not a starter on that team, but certainly was one of its intellectual leaders).
Alexander Wright could fly... he didn't really understand how to run routes which hurt him in the NFL, but for a period of a few years he was the NFL's fastest player.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Happy Hooker Day everyone!
ReplyDeleteRyan Hooker that is.
Good morning, Hotties. I can't believe we're in the teens!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning All. Another outstanding piece TNT. What a great day to be an AUBURN TIGER. Speaking of numbers, by my calculations, this is my 25,714th day to be an AUBURN TIGER. I hope all of you have as wonderful of a day as I plan on having. WAR EAGLE, keep hate alive.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Hot Ones!! Grat work as usual THT. I'd like to give a shout out to the first #18 I ever knew, Thomas Bailey. I loved to watch him return punts. He could juke out 4 defenders while standing in the same spot. Not extremely fast but very quick. I think he still holds a few punt return records.
ReplyDeleteThomas Bailey was also a good compliment to Frank Sanders at WR. That was a good duo for us.
ReplyDeleteFan Day 87 got Ace's autograph as he was just hangin out with the rest of the team (he didn't have one of the stand in line spots) but I knew who he was.
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO FOOTBALL!!!!!!
and DMiller, I'm on the list
Happy Wes Byrum/Kodi Burns day to all.
ReplyDeleteJust got the new Sports Illustrated. I've been told the top top 5 teams bargained their way off the cover to avoid the jinx. I plan on SI being as right about our positioning as they were last year.
ReplyDeleteWhat do they say, mtd?
ReplyDeleteAUBigCat - thanks for correcting that oversight. Thomas Bailey indeed deserves a HUGE shout out. Didn't he have a monster game against UF in '94?
ReplyDeleteWERK, aka "stat brain", help me out here.
From 8/17 SI by Andy Staples p110:

A note on the cover - Usually they have one of the other teams in the top 5 gracing the cover for their particular region. None of those teams are on this year's front cover
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Hotties. Y'all all went to bed and left me to play by myself last night. Good thing I couldn't find any trouble to get into.
ReplyDeleteHear ye, Hear ye,
ReplyDeleteWe do not need ANYMORE sign and place kids. We have done more for the junior college system than George Wallace did. We need kids that have the grades and that can come in with no issues. We are undermanned and need kids to come in 2010 not 2012.
I dont care if he has upside, wingspan, whatever. He needs to go to a Sylvan learning center or something. Thats a fact Jack. lol. We can only pray the guys we have signed the past two years will resign. I know Ken Adams originally a TE from 2 classes ago is doing well in JUCO and has talked of resigning.
At least some of these kids are honest. T. Coleman swore he had his grades and now he is headed to JUCO. So these have a year to make it happen. But with the 25 scholarship limit we do not need sign and place kids. We need kids that get smiley faces on their papers not frowns.
good morning & happy CLIFF HARE DAY!
ReplyDeletewasn't Loran Carter #18? if so, here's my shout-out.
my first thought of #18 was Thomas Bailey. great tandem with Frank Sanders on the other side.
I second PDWT.
ReplyDeleteAs for SI and predictions. I put as much stock into those predictions as I do Playboy's.
So, Greg Paulus is going to be the starting QB at Syracuse?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Quantez Robertson has any eligibility left. Or better yet, Doc Robinson. But not Johnny Lynn or Dustin Hester.
May I join the chorus?
ReplyDeleteSign and place = Waste of space.
If they don't have their junk in their trunk heading to AU, then it's a buncha bunk.
Proposed new saying for Trooper ... "You can't make the club if you're in Itawamba, Mississippi."
Send tutors to Linden. Emergency!
yup. we need help, like NOW.
ReplyDeleteTHT you were right about Bailey having a great game against UF in 1994. Our whole offense was clicking that day. That's the game Andy Fuller just crushed UF!
ReplyDelete"Nix was brilliant, completing 28 of 51 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns. Stephen Davis gained 113 tough yards on 20 carries. Junior tight end Andy Fuller had the game of his life, catching seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown. Bailey caught a career-high 10 for 115 yards and a touchdown."
Did someone from the coaching staff say this was a sign and place guy? I think Rivals or Beaver or whomever mentioned it but this is definitnely NOT fact. For all we know this kid is in the fold for the next class. I would trust our coaching staff to have a handle on this issue and not some dudes who sit around and assess someone's ability hypothetically, especially when they've never heard of the kid.
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Thomas Bailey did have a good game vs Florida in 1994. The only catch I remember was he caught a crutial 4th and 10 pass on the game winning drive.
Andy Fuller had a monster game that day as well.
Brian Robinson was the MVP with three interceptions including one to set up the winning drive.
Good morning, by the way. It's way too early for me to be on the soapbox.
ReplyDeleteGS,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your soap.
Sean- I just have trouble taking you serious with that Arsenal logo on the right :)!!!
ReplyDelete"I think we all can agree Arsenal plays beautiful football." -Our Fearless Leader, Mr. Jay G Tate.
ReplyDeleteI thought we had trouble taking Sean seriously because he's an idiot. Or, is this no longer a concern since I haven't seen Machu Picu lately?
ReplyDeleteKeep Hate Alive.
Norm, it's still relevant...I think it's just understood now.
ReplyDeleteScottieB and his encyclopedic knowledge coming through on Loran Carter! WAR EAGLE!!!
ReplyDeleteSean, I don't know if he's sign and place or not, and the coaches can't speak of it. I also believe we don't know what is or isn't fact in this matter.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are based on the notion that we can't afford to do any sign and places right now.
Wondering out loud about it isn't slamming the coaches, or disloyal to the troops or the flag or some such.
I hear ya, Jet, don't think I was implying such. My rant was more towards the folks providing the information, not the ones discussing it.
ReplyDeleteIf Arsenal is so good in football, Sean, how come Phil Steele doesn't have them in his Top 40?
ReplyDeleteHuh? What about that?
Maybe JJ ought schedule 'em for 2010.
i do try THT. ;)
ReplyDeletescottie b,
ReplyDeletewhen do we get to see hats?
You guys are a bunch of idiots
ReplyDeletelook who's wearing the houndstooth
ReplyDeleteThat's so weird. I was just wondering if Michael was going to be here this morning, then I hit refresh and voila! It's kind of creepy.
Does it make you feel good to know you're one of us, Michael.
ReplyDeleteI guess I should have put a question mark in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHere it is. ?
JG has the info THT. soon. very soon.
ReplyDeleteGood to see my ol' buddy, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, "The Hammer," will be on Dancing With the Stars the fall.
ReplyDeleteMe? I'm hoping a slot on "America's Got Talent." I've always wanted to meet David Hasselhoff. Gotta love "The Hoff."
What would you do with a 55gal drum sitting on the side of the road in Podunk County in south Alabama with a mysterious brown substance oozing out of it??
ReplyDeleteI am confuzzled with this one. Ahhh the joys of emergency response!
D.Miller- That sounds like a bamer's septic tank. I would leave it be.
ReplyDeleteI think you should pour 4 or 5 gallons of diesel fuel over it and set it on fire. Fire fixes everything. Just ask my ex wife.
ReplyDeleteSeptic tank = UAT compost heap for gardens.
ReplyDeleteJ-Z, that sounds painful. Sorry to hear you can't have kids any longer.
ReplyDeleteMiller - whatever you do, DO NOT allow anyone to have a video camera nearby as someone opens the drum and says "hey y'all, watch this". On second thought...
ReplyDeleteEMA says it looks like jello chocolate pudding, but has no smell.
ReplyDeleteWeird.
But what does it taste like?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, scrolling to the bottom of this page on an iPhone sucks! Is there no way to get new posts at the top to avoid scrolling?
ReplyDeleteD...just collapse the comments, scroll to the bottom then pop the most recent ones open.
ReplyDeleteWell, looks like Favre is back and on his way to Minnesotta today. I hope the Vikings get creamed this year. HE is the story that just won't die.
