Early practice notes, 8/19
Hey everyone. Just a few to share after watching 1/10th of one Auburn practice:- LB Eltoro Freeman now is wearing a legit, plaster cast on his right wrist. It's black. I think it's pretty menacing as on-the-field weaponry goes.
- WR Terrell Zachery was on "Muscle Beach" (ie where injured players go during practice) today. Not sure about his issue.
- Kodi Burns was splitting time between quarterback and wideout.
- Trooper Taylor had no problem yelling across the field at Burns, who wasn't tucking the ball after catching passes off the JUGS machine. "You have to get the little things right first," Taylor said.
- Clint Moseley was wearing No. 11 today.
That's a wrap. I'm now working on a short practice video.

It's got to be frustrating to go over to Auburn for such short amount of observation time.
Is Kodi still splitting time because of Wildcat duties or is the coaching staff having buyers regret on CT?
So now they need Dr. Andrews on the sidelines at practice! Lots of new faces on muscle beach.
Auburn Football Insider Podcast starts at 8 pm CDT live on Wed. night. Join us if you can.
CT is safe, he is the general in the game CGM needs...
we all hope is arm works..
if he thinks just cause he moved to a lower number he'll get another crack at making the Kickoff Kountdown, Moseley needs to rethink.
Rule #1: current roster players aren't eligible
Sensi....there seems to be no end to your negative imagination and cynicism. You are always second guessing.
Last Fall I just thought it was because you were fed up with Tubs, but no......it just keeps resurfacing. Anyone can dream up negative, paranoid, cynical comments. Good fans don't verbalize them unless it is something that is a serious and repeating problem. Give us a break....OK?
I don't think that honest discussion of the strengths & weaknesses of a team....and coaching staff for that matter is being a "bad" fan.
In fact that is what a forum such as this is for.
JMHO.
Do I need to duck?
For my lurking Bama brothers and sisters...
Happy Phillip Doyle day.
Better late than never. :-P
LOL Kathy.
FSJ...nice.
It was just a question, Hoopie.
You could have at least had the common courtesy to answer it before you slammed me.
If I wanted that reaction, I'd post it on Tidesports.com and wait for the 36-0 to get dropped.
And to answer your question - no, I ask question because I am curious.
I don't think they have any regrets. That was actually an attempt at humor. Sorry you missed it.
FSJ....questioning if the coach's are having buyer's remorse 4 practices after selecting the starting QB can't be anything other than looking for attention or very naive. Sensi ain't naive.
If this was the first time he had done this....no problem. He throws this stuff out regularly...I guess hoping something will stick. It's like he is in a contest to be the first to "detect" a problem. 95% of the time, his cynicism is wrong and forgotten and the other times he finds the acorn.
Ok..I'm not arguing either way.. I just want this place to continue to be a fountain of information and opinion.
Hoop, he's just being a media guy on the podcast. That's what media guys do.
If they spoke only on what is known, radio/podcasts would be completely useless.
Sensi...if it was only "humor", then there is no need for anyone to answer or for you to expect one.
If it is humor, then I don't get it, but that wouldn't be the first time.
If it was humor, then I apologize.
Someone pee in your cheerios, Hoop?
I heart Ixtapa....that is all.
Jay, I'm not able to listen to the podcast tonight, I was referring to his 7:54 pm post.
Truce....Kum-ba-ya.
Casts can be assets on the field. I expect Freeman's to be bloody after games (if that's his only ailment).
Sensi, you're such a bad fan.
I got sick once from Ixtapa...
If being a bad Auburn fan is wrong....I don't wanna be right.
My bad, I just let a reoccuring pattern that has been bugging for a while.... get the best of me.
True called.
Let's respect that.
xoxoxoxox
So you're an Auburn fan, just a bad one?
Sens. I think I was the last to draw Hoop's ire. It's all good fella's. We just can't wait til the season starts to see the real thing. As good as Jay G is, he can't provide info on something he can't see, leaving us all to speculate.
I come from generations of AU grads. I love AU, but with all the injuries, depth issues, I don't expect this year to be better than a 6 win season. Anything more, Chiz and company are coaches of the year.
I bet El Toro looks bad A with that cast on his hand.
I know they aren't releasing anything legit on that injury but I hope it's not major.
From all accounts, he's going to be a key in this mean blue machine on defense.
P.S. I have a killer recipe for El Toro cheese dip. If you want it, email me.
Hoopie, that include you. ;-)
Hoopie,
I am with you man, I don't see the humor either, but then again what does an old f@rt like me know about humor. I do think you over reacted just a tad though. Let's don't through grenades tonight. Peace brother, hate bama
Never played ball with a cast, but I used to smash Coors cans at the ol' Jovon Inn with my cast in the Spring '79. Thursday nites were "Coors for a quarter from 8-9".
Hoopie - killer of the silver bullet
I learn more every day.
Coors for a quarter between 8&9= heaven.
THT, Don't you think that we need to select an all HABOTN team of Bama haters?
THT got a shout-out on the podcast.
I'm classifying the Sensi-Hoopie dustup as the HABOTN version of "we-can't-wait-to-start-beating-up-on-our-opponents-so-we-take-out-our-frustrations-on-each-other" that frequently happens at this stage of fall practice, and is never anything serious to worry about.
Except, of course, when it happened last year at on the AU practice fields. Then we should have been very, very worried.
Grab a brew, don't cost nothing~ Senator John "Bluto" Blutarski
Bama Haters:
Most creative: Jet
Most consistent:(3 way tie) Scottie B & Eddie and Norm
Most intense at times: THT
I repeat my question from previous post:
What would your reaction be if Gene Chizik went on a tirade with the media similar to Nick Saban's from this week?
What would the media reaction be?
Jay I read that John Sullen was working with the ones!! Did he improve that much since getting to campus or are the back-ups just not showing up?
IV,
Thanks for the info about Reid McMillan. I went to an AISA school so I was always impressed when one played for Auburn and even more so when they got decent playing time like Reid and Shayne Wasden. Thanks that was a really cool story
I can't believe Tray Blackmon is in a cast already oooops I mean Eltoro
I think FSJ just (finally) admitted to being an Auburn fan.
Hoopie, I think you fit in there somewhere.
D. Miller, after re-reading FSJ's comment, I think you are right, he did.
No way...No how....
What I am saying is that I would be a bad ......nevermind.
I am seriously tempted to become a reporter of UAT football. When Saban calls out the media I could stand up and say "yeah, that was me and you can smooch my @$$".
Saban is much more entertaining with the media than Mike Shula Dubose Price was.
Price was more entertaining with the strippers however.
Craig you are more than welcome. Shayne was also an outstanding player and is a outstanding person and coach as well. Comes from a fine family. His father, Bobby, was on the 1957 Auburn National Championship team. Bobby was an outstanding coach. He coached here in Prattville for a period of time and his teams were always very well prepared. That impresses me when a team, win or lose, is well prepared and plays hard until the very end no matter the outcome of the game.
Sensi, I am not sure what my reaction to a Coach Chiz tirade might be but the media may react by thinking, well he has finally said something more than we are not sure at this time and we will just have to wait and see.
Wow, this thread got off to a horrible start.
I wish a game would get here, so we can focus all our hatred to the outside instead of the inside.
We're the HABOTN everyone, we're above the petty stuff you find on AL.com. We are the elite.
I'd think it was a joke if Chizik did that, because he's so guarded in what he says and with his emotions, it would be amazing to see such an outburst.
Well one thing is for sure..
I am part of the elite.
:-P
Yes, but the elite what, faker?
I don't think that there was any inside hatred displayed, just a little misunderstanding. You are right on two counts, it is time for a game and we are the elite, well except maybe me, but I can dream and hope that some day I will be in the elite league
There is absolutely no way the coaches are reconsidering the starting QB. Even if they changed their minds, they would stick with their decision to avoid creating a rift on the team.
They have said Kodi would still practice as a QB. Also, they may consider him as a possible number 2, at least early on.
You're like that crazy uncle that nobody is sure how he is related, but he's always there at the reunion.
WERK, you talking about Steve or IV?
Has to be me, I majored in Crazy.
No way John Sullen is a 1 for real.
Actually I meant FSJ
I flunked out by the way but Michael was one of my freshmen instructors.
Although I guess he could have been taking about Faker since no one really knows why he's here...except for him.
Crap!!! There goes my campaign for crazy uncle. Months of posting all shot to hell.
He is here for the same reason alcoholics go to AA. He is trying to get cured of being a tider.
I'm here to spread my Crimson love to all the hotties.
That sounds like a disease.
There is no question. If Chiz had the same behaviour as Saben, the media would crucify him. They don't do this to Saben because they are a bunch of scared little puppies that are afraid to lose access, and make no mistake about it, Saben would end their access.
When in the history of football in this state has the media NOT lined up lockstep behind the Alabama program?
New video up.
Faker is called faker for a reason. This means to understand the true meaning of his posts you must add the word not to the end of each of his sentences.
SteveFC, I've always thought of you as more the clinically-depressed-first-cousin type.
Is that anything like trying to spread herpes, faker?
See if you follow my logic here... Since FSJ is a regular poster here as well as being a member of the hallowed Ring of Fire, he must therefore be a bad bama fan. If he is a bad bama fan, then he must, on some level, be at least a mediocre Auburn fan.
So basically, in one evening, FSJ has moved from being a bammer to a mediocre, confused Auburn man.
So sayeth the Shepherd...
FSJ. the closet AU fan, that I will owe $25 to cause the NCAA is so slow, and UAT doesn't abide by the sunshine laws....Right faker...
Hoopie said "JoVonn Inn."
Oh, my!
Hoops a good guy. He loves AU and doesn't want to hear anything negative about them. Can't blame him for that. War Eagle Hoop.. No matter the outcomes of the games, AU is special. It's not about football, it's about AU. That's what the evil empire doesn't understand. Never will.
You guys are a bunch of bammer idiots. You aren't true auburn fans
Hoop isn't always gotta be sunshine ... if you think that, you're missing the deal.
He's just not into speculation. Some of us may be hiding facts when we "speculate," and some of us maybe guessing like it's algebra.
But he's the guardian, and I respect that. Even though, I spar with him occasionally.
The pack has moved to the new thread.
I am cool. I'll just stay here all night. Thanks.
