Hey everyone. I'm the last Auburn beat writer to publish this information, but I have an alibi. I was covering Montgomery Academy's 14-9 win over Catholic tonight. So it goes.Anyway, junior Neil Caudle has been named Auburn's top reserve quarterback. I know many of you are surprised.
The Head Coach isn't.
``Neil has really come on," coach Gene Chizik said. ``He’s worked really
hard for this. I’m proud of him. The last three or four days he’s
taken a lot of reps and I feel good about where he is as the back-up
right now. If he has a chance to go in a football game we feel he gives
us the best chance to win."
Auburn is off on Saturday. I hope you are as well.

Caudle has substance!
ReplyDeleteApparently more than Tony Franklin gave him cred for.
ReplyDeleteit took Caudle a while to gain substance. i'm happy for the kid.
ReplyDeleteI still bet Tyrik is getting playing time by the UT game.
ReplyDeleteIs he durable? Let's don't ask Franklin
ReplyDeleteTyrik - headed for redshirt city
ReplyDeleteMonica ... to answer you ... don't know ... presume a heart attack ... it was on the WSFA news.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Hoopie. I don't want to ask Franklin anything.
ReplyDeleteEver.
Again.
hoop. you were just waiting around for the new thread huh?
ReplyDeletesurprise to me. i had heard he could keep from throwing the picks.
tragic news about the coach & ref dying tonite. horrible.
ReplyDeletei posted a link last saturday but a kid up here in east tennessee died in the 3rd quarter of a game. he was trailing a play and just fell out. died on the field. cardiac arrest. he was 17.
AL.com says Howard (Lincoln HS coach) died of a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteAwful. Only 48, too.
I watched the spring game the other night and Caudle looked very good against our second D. I realize that isn't saying much.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't they redshirt Tyrik?
ReplyDeletegood for caudle. hope we dont need him. rollinson express derailed for now.
ReplyDeleteOK, thanks Jet.
ReplyDeleteSuch sad, sad news. A kid up here in Maryland died during practice from dehydration.
Sponge..that was that blind hog odds.
ReplyDeleteI think it's all just a clever ruse. Tyrik's the man. I'd still squeal over him.
ReplyDeleteI hope that we play the backup QB as much as game conditions allow.
ReplyDeleteoff topic. watching golf now. I wish i could wear a vest like tiger woods. in fact, i wish i could wear anything and look like tiger.
ReplyDeleteme too hoop, just hope we dont HAVE to play him.
ReplyDeleteSince Tiger got all buff he is most hot fer shure.
ReplyDeleteI look like Craig Stadler wearing a vest.
ReplyDeleteHow long do you have before you have to decide to redshirt someone? Not a medical redshirt, obviously, a regular one.
ReplyDeleteJ-Z ...
ReplyDeleteI think you may be right. I still think Tyrik plays.
hoopie, I agree. Playing a backup some is a good thing. Ask Terry Bowden about that. He didn't in '97, and was left with nothin' in 98.
so not true, jz! lol silly boy
ReplyDeleteI look like Craig Stadler in a vest if he put on about 15 more pounds.
ReplyDeleteJZ ... as ElTurbo says, you look like Seth Rogen.
Kristina,
ReplyDeleteI think a player can only play so much time in the first few games or something before the redshirt is not applicable.
The NCAA site probably has it.
Kristina ... by not playing him, you are essentially redshirting him.
ReplyDeleteHe can play in 4 games ... "get injured" and "not be able to play" and redshirt, too.
ElTurbo looks more like Seth Rogen than me. I finally gave in and got a haircut.
ReplyDeleteim not stadler yet, but I sho aint tiger. but i have an excuse, havin three kids and all. dont tell my wife
ReplyDeleteSpeaking ElTurbo, how's he doing?
ReplyDeleteSo...see how the first couple games go with Todd and then see if we need to?
ReplyDeletespeaking OF ElTurbo...
ReplyDeleteSo, in the HABOTN movie, J-Z will be played by Seth Rogan?
ReplyDeleteI look like chris farley. Or Chris Griffin on "Family Guy."
ReplyDeleteJZ ... ElTurbo hasn't had a hair cut since you've seen him ... he looks like the guy who sits next to him in Spanish -- Barrett Trotter.
No...I wanna be the asian guy from The Hangover.
ReplyDeleteOfficial Word from NCAA on Redshirt
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. The cashier at Old Country Buffet told me I looked like Seth Rogen. No kidding.
ReplyDeleteor I want him to be me. whatever.
ReplyDeleteSponge, your three kids excuse does not fly with me....
ReplyDeleteseth rogan or Chewy.
ReplyDeleteHe's fine ... enjoying life ... can't wait for SAturday... mad that he won't be in the student section for La. Tech. He ended up with a mini-package.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sensi, I am in no condition to research tonight.
ReplyDelete1 single play burns his redshirt... He can play a certain amount of plays in the first 3-4 games and 'get injured' and use/apply for a medical redshirt...
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong of me to say that I'm glad my wife got bronchitis so I can take her cough syrup?
ReplyDeleteIf any of you are up at 8 am (9 am ET) Saturday morning, you can catch me and Michael Butler on College Football Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI'll be on from time to time during the year.
Monica...... T. R. Miller -27
ReplyDeleteBut he can sit on the sidelines for a few games to see how things pan out and then we can redshirt him if we don't need to and he hasn't played at all, right?
ReplyDeletekristina. three kids are hard on the body for a dad. i had to give up one hobby for each kid I had. softball after number 1, basketball after number 2, racquetball after number 3. golf remains.
ReplyDeleteSo... who would play me in the HABOTN movie? Tom Hanks?
ReplyDeleteSeth Rogen as J-Z ... definitely.
ReplyDelete*don't need him.
ReplyDeleteDadgum it, hit the send button too quick. Escambia Co. - 12
ReplyDeleteseriously? did he just tell a woman who gave birth that it was hard on his body?
ReplyDeletecorrect, K
ReplyDeleteYes, Kristina. That's my understanding of it as well.
ReplyDeleteSponge.....I KNOW you are not telling me that being the dad of 3 kids is worse on the body than BIRTHING 3 of them?
ReplyDelete2 separate docs have prescribed Lortab for Mrs. Jet!!!
ReplyDeletehe can practice, dress out for all the games, attend bowl game. if he doesnt play, he can be redshirted.
ReplyDeleteHey IV!!! Yes! That was a great win for my ole dear TRM High! I have an extra strong dislike for Atmore.
ReplyDeleteIV, I know you're going to the game, but what channel will it be on here?
ReplyDeletethe one tomorrow night that is.
ReplyDeleteLater Hotties
ReplyDeleteParty at Jet's!!!!
ReplyDeleteJ-Z... The IV curse is of of AA. they beat Chambers Acad. tonight. Gotta pull the Lions through tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteSponge ...
ReplyDeleteNice knowin' ya.
The title should have been "Rollison Express De-Railed".
ReplyDeletewho's going to eat all that bluebell ice cream with the kids if not the dad. ahhh, the sacrifices we fathers make.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing! I will be in the Gump tomorrow anyway!
ReplyDeletek,
ReplyDeleteTyrik can dress and sit on the sidelines the whole season... as long as he doesn't set foot on the field for a play.
You can designate a player as a redshirt, and dress him out, let him travel... just can't play him.
IF you have to play him, you can pull the redshirt at any time.
what's in da Gump, Zookeep?
ReplyDeleteJet has the Lortab's, J-z and I both have hydromet cough syrup...
ReplyDeletesounds like a party to me...
Chocolate Ice Cream with lortab sprinkles = yummy
ReplyDeleteand hydromet syrup
ReplyDeleteBesides your wife's Loratab? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am meeting a friend from college for dinner. We've been tryin to schedule it for a few weeks now actually.
Now...if we could just score some ether.
ReplyDeletejet. i took that drug after elbow surgery. sponge and lortabs dont mix. i would fall asleep, wake up and think i was asleep for 8 hrs. just 20 minutes
ReplyDeleteHow about this?
ReplyDeleteBlue Bell homemade vanilla, chocolate syrup and Lortab sprinkles.
I call it the THT Wake Up on Sundae
Where'd you decide on? Stalking minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteJ-Z...I think ESPNU, but I am not sure since I am going. Leaving in the morning. Will visit with Gaines for awhile, Then dinner and the big game. We will be back sometime Sunday afternoon. The alarm system will be armed, so don't try to come over and borrow anything. You will be caught on video.
ReplyDeleteGo to Jubilee!
ReplyDeleteThat just means you weren't taking enough.
ReplyDeleteWe are in fact, going to Jubilee, Jet. I don't think I have been there since I lived in Old Cloverdale.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent choice!
ReplyDeleteHere's their specials menu for tonight ... bet it doesn't change much.
http://www.jubileeseafoodrestaurant.com/specials%20menu.htm
I'm about to take a swig of hydromet... anybody else want some?
ReplyDeleteWhere's the after party?
ReplyDeleteIs that a dare, Dusty?
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet, actually. Suggestions? My Montgomery bar scene knowledge is limited as of late.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the menu, Jet. As long as the BBQ shrimp wrapped in bacon is still on the menu, I am good.
Gotta take Mrs. Jet to the dr. early, so I'm heading to bed.
ReplyDeleteG'Night Jet.
ReplyDeletebed for me too. night all.
ReplyDeleteMontgomery has a bar scene?
ReplyDeleteJubilee has bread pudding?...I think I'm gonna cry.
ReplyDeleteother than those on windows?
ReplyDeleteEhyou...somebody sent me this tonight. Thought you'd appreciate.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6mFr-dNeHU&feature=related
I'd hit Johnny Zip's, K-money.
ReplyDeleteHa ha....my knowledge of the Montgomery bar scene isn't that limited to fall for that, J-Z
ReplyDeleteI want to be played by the late Walter Matthau in the HABOTN movie.
ReplyDeleteWell...The Gambler is closed. What else is there to do?
ReplyDeleteThe Gambler closed? Really? Aw man
ReplyDeleteI know. I was kinda tore up myself.
ReplyDeletegotta cast Will Ferrell as somebody
ReplyDeleteI want Kevin Smith to play me.
ReplyDeleteawesome tunes, seriously.
ReplyDeleteGonna call it a night, hotties. Be safe and happy where ever you are!
ReplyDeleteGotta turn in since I will be traveling tomorrow to Hotlanta. It will feel good to slide by Auburn on the way. Everyone have a great Auburn night. I wish you Orange and Blue sunshine tomorrow. For those going to the La. Tech game one week from tomorrow, practice your tailgating skills tomorrow and remember, NO DROPS. Keep the hate fresh, but love Auburn more. Take it from an old expert in this subject, "It's great to be an Auburn Tiger". To all of you from me WAR EAGLE. Goodnight from you Tiger of a friend. IV
ReplyDeleteWhen I layed sod one summer in Montgomery, we would pick up this one dude at a place called The Allnighter every morning at 5:30. It was on Mobile Hwy near South Blvd.
ReplyDeletejz...
ReplyDeleteLooks like there's an album "Live at the Greek" that I will be investing in.
Just downloaded it.
ReplyDeletelet your cousin humping hatred begin the new day!
ReplyDeleteHi ho! Hi ho! It's off to bed I go.
ReplyDeleteanyone going to the Redbull Soapbox Derby in Atlanta tomorrow? Should be a hoot...and it's free.
ReplyDeleteWell Hi yourself Dusty.
ReplyDeleteDJ AM is dead...
ReplyDeleteHAPPY PAT SULLIVAN DAY!!!
ReplyDeleteT-minus 7 days til kickoff!!!
WARRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
GO TIGERS!!!
In Jet's honor, I think I'll go have a bowl of ice cream and then call it a night.
ReplyDeletere: redshirt and to fluff up Jet's reply.
ReplyDeleteYou get one redshirt year. It can be either a true redshirt year where you don't play at all, or a medical redshirt year where you play but get hurt (I don't know if there are any "show us the proof" rules re: injury when one applies for a medical redshirt). Redshirts can practice and dress for games. Technically, you aren't a redshirt until after the season is over.
If you play a single down and don't have an injury, you cannot redshirt that year. But if you have an injury early in the year and have played less than 20 percent of the season, you can receive an extra year of eligibility by applying for a medical hardship waiver, also known as a medical redshirt. This is an explanation from last year:
"To receive a medical hardship waiver - in any sport - the injury must limit the student-athlete’s participation to no more than 20 percent of the team’s contests (rounded to the next whole number), with all participation occurring in the first half of the season.
Therefore, for a football player, the maximum number of games that he can play in and still receive a medical hardship waiver is three (20 percent of 12 equals 2.4, which is rounded up to 3), and none of his time on the field can occur after the sixth game."
"after the season is over"
ReplyDeleteMy H.S. English teach would have spilled some red ink on that one. She still haunts me.
And since this is my 4th consecutive post, I shall retire in hopes of avoiding the banhammer.
It's Pat Sullivan Day!!! War Eagle.....One week until kickoff.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that Sully will never get the chance to be head coach at Auburn.
ReplyDeleteMorning Hotties!!!
ReplyDeleteCoosa ...
ReplyDeleteHere's the thing I wonder ... except for a buyout issue ... he would have been the head coach at LSU ... I think the number in question was $100,000.
I wonder how he would have done there. More importantly, I wonder how you let $100,000 prevent you from being head coach at LSU.
What really happened?
Good monrning, Hotties! This time next week we will be eating our pre tailgate breakfast at our Auburn condo and headed to set up our tailgate for the day!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Hotties!! Woo hoo!!! Next week at this time we will all be in Auburn or on the way!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, what's going on with Mrs. Jet? I missed that.
Cincy, you must have posted that as I was typing mine.
ReplyDeleteThis time next week we'll probably be just about to arrive in Auburn from Newnan, GA, and hungry for the breakfast buffet at whatever they call that hotel across the street from the library.
ReplyDeletegood morning and happy Patrick Sullivan Day!
ReplyDeletelet's see, this time next week i'll probably be taking Tucker to campus for the first time. we'll do a gameday jog and then he can show off his #20 jersey to all the ladies. ;)
ReplyDeleteScottie B,
ReplyDeleteYou should jog by and ket Tucker meet Zeke and Nick, my two granddogs. They will be sporting their Auburn collars and bandanas,
i may just do that cincy. just so i don't have to scroll through yesterday's posts, were you tailgating at Thatch & ________?
ReplyDeleteLuv ...
ReplyDeleteEither brown recluse spider bite or staph on her hand.
Is this correct Cincy?
ReplyDeleteLuv's Tailgate
ReplyDeleteI think I'll stand at Toomer's Corner and sell maps to the AU Tailgate Stars
If you're up Sensi is doing a really good with Mark Butler on WTLS.

ReplyDelete"I think I'll stand at Toomer's Corner and sell maps to the AU Tailgate Stars"
ReplyDeleteVery funny, THT. You make me laugh.
Good morning, Auburn Family.
THT, that's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteso, i'm game for a hottie meet & greet next saturday. i'll probably be making the trip by myself with Tucker.
Hi there Monica! I'll let you have the first map. They're only $19.95.
ReplyDeleteBut wait, there's more! The first 100 will come with a free Toomer's Drug Store Lemonade!
Mon - I forgot; is this the game you'll be going to with Luv?
ReplyDeleteWow that's a bargain price, THT. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo, I'll be down for the WVU game.
Scottie - Do you drive down for the day to games or spend the night? What do you do with Tucker during the game?
"the WVU game"
ReplyDeletewell, that obviously makes more sense. I'm retarded.
LOL nah THT - The WVU game so happen to be the best date for me and Dirty to get together
ReplyDeleteMonnie, my little sister (see facebook pics) is in chemical engineering at AU. my parents have a trailer down off Wire Rd. by the industrial park. we usually leave Sully & Beasley there during the games but it will be Tucker's first trip. mrs. scottie backed out on going and i kinda want to just go down by myself....with my kid. ;)
ReplyDeleteRollison redshirting makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteRollison makes me happy if Caudle is really a strong #2. IF.
ReplyDeletewhy do I always look for a SS#8 scar on Jan Terri's forehead?
ReplyDeleteIt is a small scar, you just can't see it in such a small picture.
ReplyDeleteTHT, Sorry, had to go fix pancakes. Yes, that is exactly where we are!
ReplyDeleteCaudle scares me. Almost every highlight I have seen of him has him throwing to the defense.
ReplyDeleteHappy ...well since I can't think of any obscure # 7's...Happy Pat Sullivan day.
ReplyDeleteDishonorable mention to Brent Schaeffer who almost transfered to Auburn after his time in JuCo.
cincy, what time does your tailgate start?
ReplyDeletewith Vermont Maple Syrup, Cincy?
ReplyDeleteand link sausages?
Scottie,
ReplyDeleteWe will go to our condo and have breakfast about 8 and probably be at our tailgate spot by 10.
just got word from the hotel that MrsTHT is safely in Florence and is out wandering the streets. Yea!!!
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteNo, you probably wouldn't have liked these pancakes - whole wheat with sugar free syrup. :-)
THT,
ReplyDeleteWas Mrs. THT taking 2.0 to Italy? Didn't you say she was going for a semester?
Jet, hope Mrs Jet is feeling better. A friend of mine was bitten by a brown recluse when I was in elementary school, he had to stay in the hospital for several days. Nasty.
ReplyDeleteCincy -
ReplyDelete2.0 leaves Monday afternoon for Italy, where she will be studying sparkly rocks for 7 months. MrsTHT left a few days earlier so she could have a few days of sightseeing (plus it was much cheaper flight). She went for 2 main reasons:
1. she really wanted to go see stuff we missed before
2. taking a suitcase full of 2.0 stuff.
I'll pick her up at ATL on Friday evening.
btw, whole wheat is ok. I don't mind pancakes without syrup, but if I put syrup on them, it has to be maple syrup.
Good Morning fine folks!
ReplyDeleteThis time next week I'll be wishing I was in Auburn tailgating. Rather I will be sitting on the couch watching Gameday or some other game while the wifey telling me to get up and get ready to go to her friends wedding. I cannot believe I'm going to miss opening weekend of CFB for a dadblame wedding.
I am not thrilled about this. This week I'll be like a pot of chili in the stove simmering. By Saturday I'll be ready to boil.
Luv, the area where you tailgate looks pretty much the same. The new student parking lots don't come down that far.
ReplyDeleteI am a little concerned looking at this year's gameday map. According to it, there are barricades around pretty much the entire perimeter of campus that require a pass (I assume scholarship parking passes). You can still get in at College and Roosevelt, but it seems ridiculous to funnel all traffic through there so I hope the map isn't right.
So, Cincy, while our spots may still be available, getting to them may be the hard part.
kristina has mail
ReplyDeleteMy daughter took classes for a 1/2 session last summer in Tuscany. She studied "Agriculture, Flora and Fauna of Tuscany". The class required a lot of wine tasting. We, of course found that out, when said daughter got back from Italy with a newfound taste for wine. She lived in Montepulciano, which I believe is southeast of Florence.
ReplyDeletethanks Cincy. Tucker is on European time so he gets up really, really, really early. i'll try to stop by later. :)
ReplyDeleteScottie - I forgot about your sis being there. Sounds like the perfect setup for you. Tucker is going to have so much fun and so are YOU!
ReplyDeleteTHT - I know you're happy Mrs. THT is safe and having fun. What is 2.0 studying exactly?
Another good Auburn hi-lite in last nights Wash - NE game Wilhite did a pick Six of 99 yards and Jason did not throw it.
ReplyDeleteD. Miller, one of our friends is getting married. When she told us it was Sept. 5, we told we were sorry, but we couldn't make it. So, she changed it to today!!
ReplyDeleteKristina, thanks! So, in other words, we need to get there EARLY, if we want that spot!
ReplyDeleteKristina,
ReplyDeleteWe load up the parent's minivan and park it at our spot the night before. We own a condo that our son lives in one block off of campus. Part of his living agreement is he and his roommate have to find another place to park for gameday Saturdays. We drive up as close as we can to our tailgate spot, drop off the food and go park at the condo. The van with all of our tables, chairs, etc is at the tailgate spot. Kind of involved but it has worked the last few years.
Cincy - you have forwarded mail, courtesy of Kristina
ReplyDeleteMon - www.giaflorence.com
This time next week, I'll be strolling the loveliest village on the Plains with all of my friends! It's time to get the game face on!
ReplyDeleteTHT glad your wife arrived safely. My boss travels all the time, and he said Italy is one of his favorites places.
Jet, I hope your wife is better soon. I don't know anyone who has ever been bitten by a brown recluse, but I do know the effects. Those bites, and staph, are both nasty stuff. If it is a bite, does she know where she got it?
New thread UP.
ReplyDeleteWilhite's little Michael Jackson move after his INT was timely, at least according to google's home page.
ReplyDeleteOn SEC game weekends, we go down really early on Friday morning, play a round of golf at Grand National and then try to get to our tailgating spot before noon. Then, we just sit there until we are allowed to mark it off.
ReplyDeleteI'm having de'ja vu. Have I already said this?
Cool, Cincy. We park Friday as well, but usually bring another vehicle Saturday morning. Guess we'll find out for sure next week. Either way it's all good because it will be GAMEDAY!!!
ReplyDeleteJet, it could be worse. We have a family friend that was bitten by a brown recluse. The spider somehow got in his pants and bit him where, as a man, you wouldn't want to be bitten. It took surgery and skin grafts to save it.
ReplyDelete
