HAPPY RONNIE BROWN DAY!!!
A Cartersville, Ga., native and Auburn graduate, Ronnie Brown is a former All-SEC and Academic All-SEC performer. Though he started only 12 of 47 games for Auburn, he finished his career ranked 7th in school history with 2,707 rushing yards and 5th with 28 rushing touchdowns. He also had 58 receptions for 668 yards and two touchdowns.
He was the second overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. He plays for the Miami Dolphins.
Jay G's note on Brown: He was more social than Carnell Williams. He also was a completely different kind of back: Bringing power and a certain kind of refinement I never saw from No. 24. Brown was a gifted receiver, a powerful runner and a tireless performer -- when he was healthy. He was sidelined fairly often before that 2004 season. I'll always remember Brown's game at Ole Miss in 2002: 33 carries, 224 yards, three TDs. He was incredible that day.
Here is a little reminder of Ronnie Brown's college exploits.
(Thanks to CincyTiger for assisting with some statistical research.)
Substance, Part Deux
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ME SOME RONNIE BROWN!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteatta boy Sensi.
FAH is right.
ReplyDeleteMan, he's on fira today!
ReplyDeleteI bet Jason Allen still has nightmares of the dynamic duo of 23 & 24 cleaning his clock.
ReplyDeleteFAH, I like it!
ReplyDeleteRonnie Brown: Bad Man.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't classify him FAH, though. He won't outrun McCalebb now. He wouldn't have outrun McCalebb then, either.
sorry, i was referring to Sensi & his icon being FAH.
ReplyDeleteScottie- Was I too hard on the bama fan last night on Sensi's other moonlighting project?
ReplyDeleteFAH update: Team sources suggest the addition of Walt McFadden to the team.
ReplyDeleteSo here is your revised FAH lineup: McCalebb, Harry Adams, PPL, McFadden.
The FAH Four
ReplyDeleteI like it.
Is Big Snacks FAH?
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds.
Eddie, i only make it through 20 minutes or so of the show on my drive to work. i've given up trying to listen to anything at work right now b/c i'm so busy. will prob finish at the gym this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteis giving a Bama fan a hard time bad? i'm confused.
McFadden deserved to be a founding member just because of his last name, just as I deserve to be a drunken Irish Brigade member with my last name of McCoy
ReplyDeleteScottie, not at all, see if you like the last 10 minutes of the show.
ReplyDeleteIs that video of him running over that tenn. safty in the sec championship game? i can't get youtube at work.
ReplyDeleteRonnie might might not be as fast as McCalebb but he was as fast as Cadillac and bigger. that what i though was so great about him.
at one point wasn't Brandon Jacobs at Auburn behind those two? thats some serious depth at RB.
mornin hotties
Another FYI: Big Snacks doesn't like being called Big Snacks. King Dunlap and Marcus McNeill made me promise to call Mr. Berry by his nickname for the remainder of his Auburn days, but I may break the deal.
ReplyDeleteBerry REALLY doesn't like that name.
I'm out for the day Hotties. Jet, let me know if you need help moving Turbo in on the Plains.
ReplyDeleteNugget: The video is a montage of various Brown highlights.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAunugget- Brandon Jacobs was behind those two until Tubs suggested he be a TE and then it was outta here. Wonder if he has any regrest?
ReplyDeletenice, i have spent many hours looking at old Ronnie and Cadillac highlights, especially after Auburn games last year. had to remind myself that we were awesome not too long ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all hard work Jay G, it makes my day.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThe video is AWESOME. Thanks for whoever provided the link, thanks to the person that made the video, thanks to JGT for putting on the front page, and THANK YOU Ronnie Brown!!! WOOOHOOOO AUBURN FOOTBALL RULES!!!
ReplyDeleteyeah Eddie, im sure he doesn't. but its not like, even with hind site, playing him would have made us any better at any time. all three of those guys were/ are studs.
ReplyDeleteJason Allen must have nightmares about that game in 04...and for him to get drafted by the Dolphins in 06.
ReplyDeleteMorning Hotties - coming to you live from way out west where I'll work another long day, drive 2 hours to LAX for a red-eye home. I'm so lucky.
ReplyDeleteYou know I run a lot but I'm not FAH in that use but I do think I'm FAH because I'm a funny guy. I think I am at least, don't you dare tell me differently.
Keep Hate Alive.
Ahhh the glory days, one of my fav possessions are my two AU signed helmets, one signed by 23, RB and the other 24, CW. They face each other in a mirror backed display case. I'll have to post a picture.
ReplyDeleteBrown also happened to be faster than Caddy, although he wasn't quicker.
ReplyDeleteRonnie Brown was my favorite player on the 2004 team.
ReplyDeleteI can only remember him making a mistake on one play at Auburn. In the 2002 game vs UGA on our last drive after he had gotten hurt but was still playing, he ran out of bounds to stop the clock a couple of plays before we had to punt. Had he stayed in bounds we win that game because UGA gets the ball with a lot less time.
Sensi, where does he fit in? He is fast as hell. That's where he fits in.
ReplyDeleteI certainly don't fault Tubs for wanting to move Brandon ... he was a beast, but Cadillac and Ronnie were better college football players. Why not try to get him on the field at another position?
ReplyDeleteBrandon is the perfect NFL back. He left, which made sense for his NFL aspirations as a running back.
It worked out for all involved.
Hopefully, you can see them.
ReplyDeleteTub actually suggested to Jacobs that at his size, his future would be at DE in the NFL, and suggested moving him to DE for the 2004 season.
ReplyDeleteJacobs transferred. It seemed to work out well for all involved.
cool Sean. i've got one of those glossy orange footballs that they both signed. it makes me happy.
ReplyDeletei've also got that large RB print of the J.Allen runover signed and hanging over my couch in the AU Room.
I think CTT did the right thing there. Caddy was the obvious choice at tailback because Brown was so darn versatile. He could have played any position. Make Ronnie a tight end, no problem. Heck, you could have made Ronnie the center and he still would have likely been the best one we had. As for Jacobs, he would have played tailback after Caddy and Brown graduated, but he didn't understand how good those two were.
ReplyDeleteGreat job THT and Jay G. RB was/is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOn a different note, I have decided to adopt some of CGC's management tools.
I am making my wife and kids wear shower caps while at home so they don't scuff up their hair.
I also yell at them if their utensils are not properly aligned at the dinner table.
If these things are important to Chz, then they are important to me.
I wish people would call me Big Snacks. Berry should be more appreciative.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of the Orange jersey in your profile Aubie...it's just too much.
ReplyDeleteTell Berry that it is better to be called big snacks than big sacks, so get use to it.
ReplyDeleteAubie - report back to us in a week and let us know if you're still alive.
ReplyDeleteOf course McCalleb is FAH. He has the unfair advantage of having four legs, as this JGT picture and article clearly reveals:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20090813/SPORTS0402/908130322/1002/sports/Teammates-can-t-keep-up-with-Tiger-tailback-McCalebb
Sean,
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE loves the orange jerseys. You are the only one I have ever heard of who doesn't love them and wish we would wear them every game.
Yeah but if we wore an orange jersey, the sleeves would have to be different or something to balance it out...just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteSarcasm duly noted by the way.
tenn. wears orange jerseys...ef tenn.
ReplyDeleteGood morining:
ReplyDeleteNot to be too contrarian but someone wrote that we would not have been any better at any point had Jacobs remained on the team. What if he had sat out 03 or 04 and been featured in 05?
Remember that Tre Smith started against GT because Irons "didn't know the offense". We don't lose to GT with Jacobs in the backfield.
That RB highligh video is awesome. Notice that his highlights aren't when we played the joe nobody, they are against the big boys. His performance against Penn State was one of the best performances I have seen from an Auburn runningback.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, was Justin Albert the linebacker that said Auburn's first victory over UT in 2004 was a fluke. That would be the first fluke. Not the second fluke when we beat them in the SECCG.
ReplyDeleteSteve I think you should tell Mr. Berry to "get used to it." Please make sure someone video's that so you can share it with us.
ReplyDeletesaid that Big B.
ReplyDeletei meant while caddy and ronnie were there. after Jacobs left its kind of a moot point. Yes, it would have been great to have him in 2005 but he didn't want to wait to play and he didn't want to play another position before that. in 2004, we could not have won anymore games playing him. thats what i was saying. but i do argee having him later would have been great.
Jacobs and Irons sharing snaps would have been interesting.
ReplyDeletei never understood why after Caddy and Ronnie left we didn't continue playing our offense like we did when they were there. playig both RBs together and doing the RB passes and stuff. it was like the coaches said.."well, that worked great.....lets try somthing else."
ReplyDeleteI would not have taken Jacobs over either of them myself (he looked slow in college) but the since the staff somehow talked him into coming to Auburn in 03 perhaps they could have talked him into taking a redshirt at some point.
ReplyDeleteJacobs and Irons would have been a thunder and lightning tandem for certain. I still feel sorry for the poor saps on the kick return team when Jacobs was the wedge buster.
Moot point I suppose since neither could have prevented the 5 missed FGs in the LSwho game......
i just got sick to my stomach think about that lsu game.
ReplyDeleteSame here, sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe we had another running back that could play the Ronnie Brown position in 2005.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, Brad Lester got the nod to start and it was only after the Arkansas game where he left with an injury that Kenny Irons took over as the starter full time. Lester was a guy that could have filled the Brown role. He had a ridiculous stat his first two years, he had the most TDs/touches in the history of AU football...even better than Bo for a while.
ReplyDeleteLester wasn't really the receiver that Ronnie Brown was.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten all about Lester and how good he was when healthy (i.e. dragging UAT defenders 10 yards on 3rd and short to ice the 07 IB). I guess I am trying to forget 2008 altogether.....
ReplyDeleteI would argue that as a freshman and sophomore, Lester did good things catching balls out of the backfield. His role changed considerably as did his production as his career progressed.
ReplyDeleteBrad Lester ... man, he was talented ... but he kept going on those duck hunting trips after the season, and you just kept questioning his commitment to Auburn.
ReplyDeleteDon't misunderstand Steve, I'm not saying he was as good as Ronnie, but he was good enough to play that role.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find the clip but there is a Caddy TD run (UGA maybe) where Ronnie Brown is absolutely destroying a defender to pave the way. He didn't stop blocking the guy until they were 4-5 yards out of bounds, it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteHe was underappreciated for his blocking ability in my humble opinion.
That is the thing with Ronnie Brown. It didn't really matter what he was doing, he was good at it. He could run, block, catch...heck, he even threw that ball in the pros. Put the guy at any position and he would have excelled.
ReplyDeleteWhat do y'all know about a walk-on WR named Jay Wisner?
ReplyDeletei know about as much as you just posted Sean.
ReplyDeleteEddie, someone on your podcast said that if we flip flopped a couple of games last year and won maybe eight games that we would not be having these discussions now. I disagree because of how terrible we played and the loss to Bama. I do think however that we would at least be worrying about having another terrible Tubby offense.
ReplyDeleteOne of my buds just said he thought he might be an impact newcomer and I thought that was odd as I've never heard of him before.
ReplyDelete"As for Jacobs, he would have played tailback after Caddy and Brown graduated, but he didn't understand how good those two were."
ReplyDeleteSteve,
Jacobs couldn't have played after Ronnie or Carnell, he was in the same class as them. He would have been a senior in 2004 as well.
I was surprised to learn that Senor Lester never mustered a 100 yard rushing performance. He alswys seemed to be scoring TDs but never hit the century mark.
ReplyDeleteAny word on his whereabouts?
I never saw Lester as an every down SEC back. He was at his best when he could come in as a change of pace for Irons or Tate.
ReplyDeleteRight on WERK. When he was the change of pace/receiver out of the backfield, he was at his best.
ReplyDeleteWhich, coming back to present day, makes me really excited about the new 23...kid's gonna be a star!
ReplyDeleteWTH is FAH?
ReplyDeleteFast As Hell.
ReplyDeleteThanks, j-z!
ReplyDeleteFor all of us who love the guitar...RIP Les Paul.
ReplyDeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or are more famous peeps dying this year than usual?
ReplyDeleteIt has to do with global warming Seanzie
ReplyDeletei'm procrastinating a phone call i don't want to make yuck
ReplyDeletewhen's the last time the Roundtable had a "nationally known guest"?
ReplyDeletelol
It would have been interesting to see what changes Tuberville would have made with the offense this season. He could have went back to his conservative ways or he could have hired Malzahn. We will never know.
ReplyDeleteI am expecting to at least hear about a narrowed list of potential QB starters sometime this week. It should be coming any day. I would think they would want to be able to give a couple of QBs most of the reps in Saturday's scrimmage.
ReplyDeleteTuberville would have gone out and hired some other dude to run his patented "Tubershell" offense.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Gus would have worked for Tubs. Especially not with the restrictions Tubs place on "he who must not be mentioned."
ReplyDeleteplace = placed
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteAren't you a big proponet of not mentioning the past and saying that Tuberville is our old coach, why are we talking about him still today?
RK, scroll up. He was mentioned.
ReplyDeleteOntario McCalebb is so fast that he ran through a hurricane in Florida and didnt get wet.
ReplyDeleteWould Gus be working with Nall, Ensminger & Knox?
ReplyDeleteIf so, I would suggest that the results wouldn't be great.
One of the things I would like to see with this team is for it to come together early. We have a long history of losing games early in the season that we probably shouldn't have. Typically there has been a game 4 or 5 games into the season where I think our team finally develops a personality. Of course, I am still waiting on that game from last year.
ReplyDeleteMcCalebb facts soon to be thrown about
ReplyDeleteRK, that is an excellent question. I would have no problem with Gran and Nall still being around. Even Ensminger wouldn't have bothered me. I just think Knox needed to find somewhere else more well suited to his talents.
ReplyDeleteThat's the point I was going for RK. Gus wouldn't work for Tubs if he kept those guys on board....why am I even commenting on this? We've already beat all the stuffing out of Trigger on a few occasions.
ReplyDeleteSteve just makes sure not to originate the comments, but once they are made, he likes to comment on the previously afformentioned comment.
ReplyDeleteNall= sucks. That guy was the anti-offense.
ReplyDeleteNall was an excellent OL coach. As an OC, Nall was a great OL coach.
ReplyDeletere Lester: He didn't even get a free-agent contract this fall.
ReplyDeleteThat says a lot to me.
I think Lester is the player that I read tended to over train. His father instilled in him to always do more than the other guy. That isn't always the best idea. Both he and Davis never lived up to their potential.
ReplyDeleteRegarding all things Tubs
ReplyDeletethat's a bit disturbing Mon.
ReplyDeleteNall= average OL coach. Excellent coaches don't leave to manage truckers. I mean the guy is being sued by a former player.
ReplyDeleteAnd Monica is right, from this point forward, I will no longer criticize anything Tuberville.
I thought it was hilarious. I am a huge fan of Office Space.
ReplyDeleteWho's Tuberville?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I wonder who will be featured on #22 day?
Cencade Pennington gets my vote, THT.
Scottie - It's no more disturbing than this circular conversation about Tubs & Co.
ReplyDeleteI think Cencade Pennington was # 40.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Fullwood will be the #22.
I vote Tre Smith.
ReplyDeleteI love T-ville, but i am encouraged by the direction Auburn looks to be going.
ReplyDeletecannot wait for the games to start.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteDid you get the memo about putting a TPS cover on your posts? I'll make sure you get another copy.
If you could do that from now on, that would be greaaaat.
Somebody tinkled in Doug's grits this morning. growl
ReplyDeleteI thought he was #22. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Fullwood.
Not much on the reading, but a force on the running.
*TPS REPORT COVER SHEET*
ReplyDeleteSensi, you are the 5th person to remind me of that today.
And yes, I have the memo.
Tre Smith would have been an All-American at GA Southern.
ReplyDeleteI live Office Space every time I have to come into the office. It's amazing how funny that movie got after I got an office job.
ReplyDeleteEddie & Sensi,
I'm listening to your show right now to make it through the last couple of hours of work today.
Thanks, RK. We appreciate the support. If you got it off ITunes, please rate.
ReplyDeleteOffice Space is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteDoug Amos is mad at the big, bad media from Miami, Florida still being bitter about Saban leaving them in the lurch.
ReplyDeleteTalk about beating a dead horse.
#22 in the Pennington era was Gabe Gross.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, Sensi! Ain't that the truth. He is freakin out over this and he's sounding like an idiot.
ReplyDeleteAhh, the future MLB player. Yes, RK. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes, Monica, Doug is wigging over another slight to his beloved Saban.
How dare they?
Well in all fairness to the Miami media...the way he left the Dolphins was pretty bad. It would have bordered on Petrinoish had he left mid season.
ReplyDeleteAnd he left it at the expense of a Shula. Double whammy.
And the article isn't even really about that. It's about Pat White calling Saban out as a liar and THAT's why he came to WVU to be their QB. I posted that article here a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteDid Ben Leard follow or precede Gabe Gross, RK?
ReplyDeleteAfter hearing Doug Amos' definition of a lie I'd be listening to what he said to me more carefully.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of #23s - what became of Chris Slaughter?
ReplyDeleteBOTH Sensi.
ReplyDeleteLeard was here 97-00, Gross was on the football team from 98-99. So Leard was here before Gross.
ReplyDeleteThanks, fellas.
ReplyDeleteDoug needs to put on his big girl panties and deal with it.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI need to learn how to "refresh" after playing catchup on a long series of posts.
ReplyDeletei thought it was a trick question. granted, i have blocked out most of the '98 & '08 seasons, but i thought Leard started the season, Gabe took over during the UT game and finished the season, then Leard took over in fall camp of '99 and Gabe went to baseball.
ReplyDeletesorry for the long sentence. a distinguished writer i am not.
Writer ScottieB and his soliloquy!
ReplyDeleteScottie, that's what I was thinking too.
ReplyDeleteI know Gross started the Iron Bowl where Shaun Alexander took the first half off and blistered us in the 2nd.
Then, he went on to baseball.
Leard started the 98 season as the QB, then got drilled several times by UT and Gross took over on the goalline stand that UT had.
ReplyDeleteGross started 99 as the starter, then we almost lost the App State game, so Leard brought us back. Leard got hurt vs Ole Miss and Jeff Klein came in, Leard came back vs Ark, then got hurt again. Kline came back in, then Leard came back right before the UGA game.
Had Leard stayed healthy in 99 and Duval hit a couple of FG's we might have had an 8 win season instead of 5.
I've got some errands to run. Who wants to come sit on my porch and sign for my tickets when the mail lady comes by?
ReplyDeleteGross went on to baseball, that is.
ReplyDeleteShaun Alexander went on to become another victim of the Madden Curse.
You are so right, Sean.
ReplyDeleteWERK, somewhere in that yarn of yours Gabe Gross separated his shoulder. i think.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the Cubs should go after the guy who threw the beer at Victorino last night?
ReplyDeleteRK droppin' the mad knowledge. b/c the football was so bad in '98, our tailgating became a little more hardcore if you know what i mean. it's a little fuzzy. yeah, Gross getting drilled in the iron bowl in '98 is the only thing that really stands out. i think we were winning at halftime then they blitzed us in the 2nd half.
ReplyDeletei agree on the Leard thing. if he hadn't gotten hurt we would've had a good season. Klein just couldn't get it done with no running game behind him.
i wish someone would throw some beer at me. i'm thirsty.
ReplyDeletenope, that was Leard with separated shoulder. I could have sworn wondering back in the day how that injury would affect his (gross's) baseball.
ReplyDeleteI guess since it wasn't his shoulder, it had no effect.
Here's a what if for you all.
ReplyDeleteWhat if Kodi Burns is names the starter?
What will your reactions, feelings be?
I know mine. I'm curious as to yours.
yeah, THTjr is home and can take up the "ticket watch."
ReplyDeleteI'm off to run some errands.
WARRRR EAGLE!!!
Gross did have a shoulder issue. i worked with him a lot (i was a student athletic trainer) in '99 with ice & rehab stuff.
ReplyDeleteSensi, I wouldn't be thrilled. Granted the offense was miserable last year, but Kodi had chances and did diddly poo (big ups to Jim Mora) with them. If he were going to be the man I'd like for him to have done more last season to prove himself.
ReplyDeleteSensi,
ReplyDeleteIf Kodi is named the starter, then I won't have a lot of confidence in the passing game until proven wrong. Teams will just stack the box and know that he doesn't have the field vision to get it to anything other than the primary receiver, and that's iffy depending on his mechanics.
I hope he can prove me wrong, but I haven't seen it yet.
Office Space is way to close to reality, which is why it is so funny. It also is why I have had to phase a manager or two out of a project occasionally.
ReplyDeleteThe fall of 98 was my first year as a graduate student here in Chattanooga, so I didn't get to attend many games that year. I only went to the App State, Alabama and the game at UGA that year.
ReplyDeleteSo my memories aren't as hazy as I watched most of them from home.
Jeff Klein's 1st pass as a starter was taken to the house by Deon Grant in Knoxville in 99, talk about a bad start.
ReplyDeletemy favorite "first pass", although not as a starter, was from one P Nix.
ReplyDelete"Oooo and he caught. Sanders caught it at the two and dove in! TOUCHDOOOOOOOOOWN AUBURN!"
ReplyDelete- Jim Fyffe
I was also living in Chattanooga for the '98 football season. I wasn't too sorry to miss the games in-person that year. It was one of the few years that basketball rescued us from football futility. I remember listening to the UCF game on the radio and thinking, "I can't believe we're even going to lose to them!" If not for a late Karsten Baily TD, we would have.
ReplyDelete"He jumped up over Tommy Johnson or Antonio Langham. How he held it I don't know!"
ReplyDelete"Auburn's right back in the thick of it!"
Baily = Bailey
ReplyDeleteThat turned the game in Auburn's favor.
ReplyDeleteI also remember listening to the call (and watching in the news highlights because of the TV ban) that big James Bostic run that put the Tide away for good.
i've got a great b/w pic of Karsten Bailey running by me on the sidelines during the '97 Bama game. it's pretty cool.
ReplyDeletei was/am such the nerd. since the '93 Bama game wasn't on tv i recorded the entire game w/o commercials off the radio onto cassette tapes. still got 'em. :)
That Bostic run was awesome! I distinctly remember going crazy in JH when he broke that one off! "Eleven and oh!!! Eleven and oh!!!" - Jim Fyffe
ReplyDeleteHey I heard that Ontario McCalebb was so fast that he could take contacts out of your eyes while your're reading and your vision wouldnt change.
ReplyDeletei had a 22-14 score sign in the window of my Chevy Blazer for nearly a year after that game Scott C. good times.
ReplyDeleteHarry Adams is so fast, he refills the water bottles while returning INTs.
ReplyDeleteSensi, my reaction would be War Damn Burns, let's go win some games.
ReplyDeleteInside I would be doubting very seriously.
Walt McFadden changes history using his speed.
ReplyDeleteSensi during the 1993 TV ban, AU still televised the games on the campus station. For the IB, a buddy and I went to Foy and turned it to that channel and the whole place went wild!!! Foy was playing the game over the speakers and I will swear to this day that the extra energy we created helped AU pull that game out.
ReplyDelete1993 was my family's first time having season tickets (how bout that timing). By the time of the Bama game, even being down 14-5, everything had a certain amount of inevitability about it. Even when Stan White went down, I just knew things were going to work (of course, I was also 11 and at that age you never think your team can lose).
ReplyDeleteAnybody else remember immediately after the Bostic TD when Tony Richardson just absolutely decked him in the celebration? One of the hardest hits I have ever seen, and it was all in celebration. One of my favorite memories from that season.
I have a copy of the 93 Iron Bowl on DVD that has the video from the video screen at the stadium and Fyffe's call as the audio.
ReplyDeleteThe video quality is horrible, but it's cool to have.
So has Harry Adams settled in at DB, or will he go back to WR?
I bet that was something to see, BC.
ReplyDeleteMcCalebb is so fast that AU police gave him a speeding ticket for running a punt return back.
ReplyDeleteTony Richardson was a stud. Still is. I believe he opens holes for Adrian Peterson nowadays. Unless he retired.
ReplyDeleteI also remember Bostic's turn with the Birmingham Thunderbolts.
There are 16 WRs, and most of them range from very good to pretty much serviceable.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Harry Adams will get a shot at WR considering the lack of depth at secondary.
I attended my first and only Birmingham Bolts game the day Dale Earnhardt died. Coincidence? I think not.
ReplyDeleteMcCalebb is so fast that he's already scored two touchdowns against Bama.
ReplyDeleteMoving some of these WRs to DB makes a lot of sense. We need another WR as much as we need another QB. I think we will be okay at DB, but the loss of Savage really hurt and the loss of McNeil for a while didn't help.
ReplyDeleteFYI, be sure to drop by Dairy Queen today and buy a blizzard. At least one dollar of your purchase will go towards the Children's Miracle Network. So eat a tasty treat and feel good about it.
ReplyDeleteSo, it was you J-Z.
ReplyDeleteHave you also ruined Jr's career?
McNeil's HS coach is a trip (he's also's Gabe McKenzie's) if any of you have ever met him.
ReplyDeleteIf you live in the Mobile area and get a chance to catch Davidson, I recommend it.
Onterio "L.S." McCalebb
ReplyDeletethe L.S.="Ludicrus Speed"
He's so Fast he can run backwards around the earth and turn back time!
I think he has pretty well managed that on his own.
ReplyDeleteFinally, after 40 years, someone has opened the vault and revealed the
ReplyDeleteanswer to a question that has clawed at our brains since the 1969
Woodstock album was released:
What were the lyrics to Joe Cocker's version of 'A Little Help From My Friends'?
He was so wigged-out and loopy on a multitude of drugs, no one has been
able to understand his garbled, mush-mouth version.
...Until now
We need a good practice fight...not a DeRon Furr kind of fight, but just something to let us gauge the fury of our team. If they could arrange for it to occur during the 25 minutes of stretching that Mr. Tate is allowed to view, that would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can hear CGM calling the play like Cpt. Kirk calls on Lt. Scott....
ReplyDelete"Onterio I need warp speed now!!!!"
j-z I'm with you brother.... nutin wrong with a lil bump and shine!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting the impression that Onterrio only has one speed...Warp Speed!
ReplyDeletej-z actually he has two speeds....
ReplyDelete1. Off and 2. Warp!
Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a running back. Once the running back goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?
ReplyDeleteMake the running back is Onterrio FAH McCalebb.
Make sure....
ReplyDeleteGod I hate typos.
Eltoro also has two:
ReplyDelete1. Warp
2. Wham!
He's going to hit the opposition so hard and so often that they'll need shoehorns to get their helmets on for practice the next week.
I would classify Eltoro thusly: Eltoro is matter. The opposing ball carrier/QB is anti matter. Once the matter collides with the anti matter, a new material is formed from the empty carcass of the antimatter. It becomes "It don't Matter."
ReplyDeleteSo Is there a practice today?
ReplyDeleteThink we might here anything about the QBs that make the 2 deep?
Also, Does anyone else besides me see Onterio playing alot more than anticipated? I see this kid on the field for about 60% of the game, every game. Lined up next to Tate like a two back shotgun.
Oh, so that's why there's an "It Don't Matter" restaurant on the way down to the beach. Now I know why I don't stop there.
