Days to kickoff: 28

Our THT's Auburn Minute is brought to you by the number:

28


We have a few guys to review ...

Born in Cullman and raised in Birmingham, Larry Willingham was a consensus All-American during his senior season at Auburn in 1970. He has a .667 Iron Bowl winning pct. He played professionally with the NFL's St. Louis Cardinals and the Birmingham Americans/Vulcans of the World Football League. With his Auburn degree in hand, Larry has pursued a successful career in real estate. Last I heard, you could buy your dream home from him in Gulf Shores.

David Langner needs no introduction. He'll be forever immortalized in Auburn football history thanks to his performance in the 1972 Iron Bowl. He returned two punt blocks for touchdowns and drove a stake in Alabama's heart with a game-clinching interception. Langner contributed in many other facets of the game. He led Auburn with a 13.8 yd punt return average in 1972 and still Auburn's all-time single-season leader with a 28-yard kickoff return average that year. In fact, no one -- not Brent Fullwood, not Alexander Wright, not Tristan Davis -- with a minumum of 10 kickoff returns has been able to best Langner's 1972 average. He also is tied for 5th on Auburn's all-time interception list with 12 and has the highest career interception-return avg of 23.9 yards. Langner was not voted All-SEC until his senior season.

Bob Harris was born in Everett, Washington and graduated from Cedar Grove High School in Decatur, Ga. He was a key player in Auburn's 1982 Iron Bowl win. In 1979, Auburn trounced Georgia between the hedges, 33-13. Although James Brooks' 200 rushing yards and Joe Cribb's 167 yards may have been more apparent, one could easily state a case for true freshman Bob Harris for MVP of that game. The youngster had an interception and two fumble recoveries -- all in the 3rd quarter as Auburn overcame a 10-9 halftime deficit. Just like Larry Willingham, Bob played professionally for the Cardinals and the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL.

Let's hear some shout outs for our other 28s!!!

Phred, our bet was $20 on each game where Auburn plays a team with a former Tuberville coach on it that I have the other team. I don't recall the four teams we settled on. I think it was MSU, Ole Nutt, Arkansas, and Bama but I am not certain.

I'm sure not hearing much about Super Mario from the coaches in the articles I'm reading. Is this the case with you guys or am I just missing it? I wonder how he's performing and if his role will be increased in Malzahn's scheme.

10:47 AM  
Blogger Unknown said...

From what I have read Mario Speedwagon is ideally suited to the h-back postion and is the likely starter there. It wouldn't surprise me if we ended up with two 1000 yard rushers this season, Mario and Tate.

My guess is that Mario is solid and doesn't need to be asked about or discussed.....that's a good thing. Folks are always focused on the new guys and...of course the Qb, this time of year.

Hoopie, I get what you're saying. My thought is with his hype before last season, followed by his disappointing effectiveness / use / stats, we would be hearing more about him.

SFC - i like that possibility!

11:01 AM  
Blogger Kathy said...

So reporters requested WR DeAngelo Benton for post-practice interviews but he was scratched from the list. Bitters noted that Benton was doing 100 yards worth of up-downs, doing a bear crawl in between yard lines the length of the field. Wes Byrum was doing them with him.

If we have two 1,000 yard rushers, then we will be in Atlanta ... but not for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.

We had two 1,000 yd rushers in 1979. If we hadn't been on probation, our destination would have been no better than the Peach or Gator.

12:34 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

The difference now, THT, is that teams pass much more frequently.

12:42 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

yes, that is a difference. But we could run for gobs of yds and still not get to SECCG. What if all those yds are between the 20s? What if our defense is hit with the injury bug? Just sayin' 2 thousand yd rushers certainly won't hurt, but don't guarantee us anything other than a winning season.

Digger: The SEC has caught a lot of flak for that digital-media policy and my guess is that things are amended soon. They'll have to pry the camcorder from my cold, dead hands.

Mountain West is correct. In fact, the SEC didn't win a game against the mountain west. Two of our lesser schools lost to them, Tennessee and Alabama.

1:32 PM

The ACC was a good guess. We were 6-6 against them, with 2 of the losses and one of the wins by Vandy. Vandy lost to Duke and Wake Forest, but beat Boston College. How many years will you be able to say that?

Here is another blog on the QB situation. This one seems to feel that Tyrik will not see the field and that Burns or Todd will be the man.

I hope so Jay I don't see how they can police something like that unless all the SEC schools do not allow video cameras or cell phones on there fields.
The SEC may have a tea party on their doorstep if they don't start amending rignt away.

4:44 PM  
Blogger Aeronaut said...

Don't quote me on this, and maybe JGT can give us some better info...

Certain players have suggested that Todd is outshining the rest, bigtime, as far as learning the offense and mechanics is concerned. The kid has great instincts.

Then again, it's fourth hand info from a friend at Auburn.

I just ran across a pole of who will be the starting QB. Caudle had a light lead by 1 vote, but the breakdown was basically this.

1) Caudle 40%
2) Todd 40%
3) Burns 20%

They didn't allow for voting for anyone else.

This is in contrast to how I rank it, which is as follows.

2) Caudle 25%
3) Burns 20%

Cornerback Walt McFadden said Saturday that the entire secondary and members of Auburn’s linebacking core are growing out their facial hair as a way to “stick together.”

“Me and Zac Etheridge, we’re trying to get the whole defense to spread it,” said McFadden, who got the idea from his older brother Bryant, a member of last year’s Super-Bowl winning Pittsburgh Steelers.

“We’ve got the whole linebackers with us. The D-line, they say they’re already big so they can’t do that. I don’t know what they’re going to do, but we’re trying to do something as a defense just to let people know we’re a team.”

From Bitter: Wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor likes a clean-cut look, claiming every day is an interview, so players are trying to keep things well-groomed. “As long as we keep it shaped up and not let it grow wild,” McFadden said, “(Trooper’s) OK with it.”

Also, LB Adam Herring is still out with the same undisclosed medical issue that kept him out in the spring.

10:14 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

And, McFadden had an interesting take on some scrappin' that takes place during some of the live sessions of practice: "We just wait until coach Chizik blows that whistle about 10 times and then we know that we’re in trouble," he said. "We try to just wait. If he blows the whistle once and he sees that we keep going and just keep forward, sooner or later the GA’s will come running forward and say, ‘It’s over. Over.’ Then, basically, the coaches will let us know that we’re all there as a team and the defense is swarming to the ball so all 11 players are getting there. basically we’re just letting the GA’s break us up."

aycock 40 0TD

if the same QB throws all those yards his stat line is 4,014 yds 22TD ?INT. that is more output than any QB in my recent AU memory banks and would be an incredible turnaround by any of the QBs on the roster. JC only threw for 2700+ and 20 TDs in 04. i would hope my stat estimations are on the low side. with only a decent rushing game we should be in most every game.

did anyone realize in 2009 AU is playing 3 of the 4 teams in d1 with the nickname bulldogs? who have we left out?

Not sure if this has already been posted. Greg just showed it to me.

“What you see is what you get with Coach Chizik," Seastrunk told SN. "He’s a great guy, and he’s going to make sure you’re taken care of. He’s going to do everything he possibly can to be there for you. I feel like that’s my dad for the next three to four years. He’ll take care of me like my mom did. It’s the same connection. He would be doing the same stuff my mom has done for me to this point.”

SN100's No. 2 player, Seastrunk, still likes Auburn

Wow, thanks Omnica, that is very encouraging. I think Chiz did some fathering of Phillips the other day by telling him to let what happened at Florida State go. I am definitely liking ChizCo.

27 days :-)

12:09 AM  
Blogger THT said...

Yep, Monica's right!

T-minus 27 days til kickoff!!!

It's another DB trifecta! Yesterday, we had two cornerbacks and a safety. Today, two safeties and a cornerback.

HAPPY BUDDY McCLINTON DAY!!!

Buddy McClinton, all 5'7" and 150 lbs, received Auburn's last available scholarship offer when his high school coach, who had been hired as Auburn's freshman coach, convinced Coach Shug Jordan that the product of Lee High School in Montgomery could hang with the big boys in the SEC. He was right. Under the tutelage of secondary coach "Brother Bill" Oliver, McClinton started every single game of his Auburn career. Forty years later, the former safety is still Auburn's all-time career (18) and single-season (9) leader in interceptions. He was named to seven different All-American teams after his senior season in 1969. In 2008, he was named to the 75th Anniversary All-Sun Bowl Team. Buddy's 3 INTs against the Arizona Wildcats in the 1968 Sun Bowl earned him MVP honor, a Sun Bowl first for a DB. Most impressively, Mr. McClinton was also an ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN. He has turned his Business Administration degree into a highly successful career in commercial real estate; he is President of McClinton & Company, Inc., based in his home town of Montgomery.

Honorable mention:
David King - Two-time All-SEC cornerback in '83 and '84. Fifth all-time in career interceptions and a member of the University's Dance Troupe.

Johnny Simmons - Childersburg, AL native turned down a lucrative offer as the Kansas City Royals number 1 draft pick to attend Auburn University. He provided senior leadership to the 1972 Amazin's.

WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!
GO TIGERS!!!

Thanks,THT,
Only 27 days to go! Time is moving much faster. Bummer about Victor Beasley. I really thought AU had a chance with him.

So wonderful here. All the family has gone to bed and I am sitting on the balconey watching the waves. Very relaxing. Back to the real world tomorrow.

Hope all the anniversary celebrants had a great night! Congratulations to you all!

missinit - at the '72 Iron Bowl! Wow! You weren't missin' it. I can't even remotely imagine the thrill. I told my dad that morning that AU was going to win. I told him the same thing at halftime. I told him the same thing when it was 16-0 in the 4th qtr. I've never EVER been so certain of something in my life. If I hadn't been so certain, it would have been nerve-wracking. We would get an update on TV about every 30 minutes; the only game on TV in our region wasn't the Iron Bowl.

Happy Buddy McClinton day!!

Funny thing growing up in the gump, my dad told me about this neighbor of ours just up the street used to play for Auburn. I was like wow that's pretty cool, he played for a big college. Then to find out, oh he is THAT Buddy McCliton?!?!? Makes me wish I knew more about Auburn when I was growing up.

i'm anxious to hear what Aubrey Phillips' unspecified 'medical condition' is. hope he's ok.

this whole QB race has my head spinning. i am going to do my best to not think about it for the next, um....5 seconds. nope, can't do it. ggrrr.

i guess the big question is, full pads or no today?

Morning all...

Sad for the OL...hate to see......

I have not been to or seen a practice this year, all I can base my opinion on is what I read, what those lucky enough to watch practice say and various videos.

If CT’s arm is what it looks like in the videos,,,, hang it up... and I am a supporter.. So by stating that an idiot like me sees issue with CT arm, I am Hopeful that i am not getting the full picture and CGC and CGM would yank him from practice rotation if the arm was not capable of SEC play. I again I am hopeful I am the idot… which according to my wife is not an uncommon event…go figure

I have no idea what is a medical episode. Is he pregnant?

I like the comments I have read from Malzahn about Todd, but his arm being in ice after practice isn't a good sign.

9:05 AM  
Blogger Unknown said...

The more practice continues and the more I read, the more I am convinced that you will see a lot of freshman and redshirt freshman get playing time early.

The thing is that we know we have depth issues. You either play the experienced players early against the weaker part of the schedule, or you try to mix in some younger inexperienced players to try to avoid injury to your more experienced players that will be needed later in the season.

At Iowa State Chizik played young guys early to build for the future. At Auburn I am betting he plays young guys early to have the older players available later on.

Howdy Hotties. Thanks DL!

Question for any DirecTv subscribers re: regional sports networks. Their web site says:
But if you want to watch games and teams from outside your region, you need to add the DIRECTV Sports Pack to your "base" programming package. You'll get ALL of our Regional Sports Networks for only $12/month.

Access to Regional Sports Networks is determined by your Zip Code, and blackout restrictions apply. Call us toll free to make sure you'll get the Sports Networks you want.


So, I would get all the RSNs regular programming but I'd only see the live events carried on my horrible FSN Carolinas network? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of subscribing to the RSNs? Any Hottie who can explain it to me?

Blogger Aeronaut said...

THT. Thank you for the awesome job once again.

I can't tell you anything about DirectTV, but I can catch all the games on hulu or Justin.tv. To hell with blackouts and all.

The sites support HD (full screen) mode and you can watch the games in full screen HD on your tv (if you connect your pc to it).

10:12 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Aero - thanks. I hadn't thought about that. Does Hulu show any football games live?

10:41 AM

I just noticed that Billy Mays died. I never really got his pitch style, but I did watch a little bit of Pitchmen.

Hulu wouldn't let me watch anything because I'm not in the US. Some copyright restrictions or whatnot.

Last year I watched almost all the games on Justin.tv

Got a question for any of the group. My wife and I were recently in a car wreck. Not to worry, my wife unfortunately has a broken ankle from where she was using the passenger side brakes, I somehow (thank god and Honda engineers) ended up with A scratch. But since this is my first and only car wreck I have no clue what to do next. Any help would be appreciated, and to keep this off topic topic off the board, please contact me by my email. Thanks much.

TommyD. I wish the lady a speedy recovery.

I've been in a wreck that wasn't my fault. I wish I had gone to a lawyer first thing, because the other guy's insurance company were one of the worst people I've ever had to deal with.

Honestly I did not want to resort to those tactics, but when they didn't evaluate the darn car for 30 days (and not even get me a rental), and then offer me 1/2 the market price I developed pain in the neck that required physiotherapy.

It has been many years but I once got my insurance company to deal with the other company. I just told them I wanted my car fixed and to get the money from the other company.
