Post-practice reaction, 8/7

Hey everyone. Let's get to it:

  • Gus Malzahn isn't ready to make a decision at quarterback, though he made it clear tonight that he's seeing some trends. ``We've seen some improvement. Some have improved more than others."

  • I have no idea whom Malzahn is identifying there.

  • Trooper Taylor to WR Travante Stallworth during practice: "Are you tired? I'm out here doing this longer than you are. Do you think they feel sorry for you in Tuscaloosa? How about in Athens, Ga.?"

  • LB Eltoro Freeman on his approach to football: ``I’m going full-speed. If the pads are on, it doesn’t matter. I’m going full speed. That’s it. Full-speed. Even with them off, even when we’re tracking, where we slow down when we get close to the ball, I’m full-speed, downhill."

  • Asked what part of his game has improved most since the Iron Bowl, QB Kodi Burns said: ``My overall game. Just going out there and taking charge of the offense. Confidence. Accuracy. Just different things. I feel like it's a total rebound from the spring."

  • Today's Up-Down Brigade included K Wes Byrum and WR DeAngelo Benton.

  • Gene Chizik on today's practice: ``We did some team stuff today. We did an inside run period, which we haven’t been able to do without shoulder pads. That was really good. We had a chance to get down there and really get physical. We added about 10 minutes of that to the flavor of practice."

  • Freeman said he unloaded a big lick on RB Mario Fannin, which wasn't corroborated yet seemed credible coming from Freeman's mouth. He could sell ShamWOWs without a problem.

  • Asked if any players have stood out to him so far, Chizik said: ``Everybody is pretty much status quo."

  • Auburn's fourth practice will be held Saturday afternoon. I will not be attending.

Love the Troop comment to Stallworth.

Eltoro seems to have a mouth on him. Hopefully he isn't writing checks he can't cash.

I read in an artical that said the only reason Chris Todd was reping with 1st team today was because Malzahn needed to see what Todd could do quick, because theres not alot of time. I suspect Malzahn already has it narrowed down. I think its Caudle personaly. Malzahn also said its becoming "quite difficult" for the rookies to stay at the pace he wants them to with learning the offense right now.. I think he put caudle in 2nd team today because in a way caudle didnt have to prove himself today because hes ahead of everybody else. That make any since? haha

I understand Gus is putting in a new formation ... the MildCat ... with Chris Todd throwing 10 yard go routes.

If that's about all he can do, that would seem easy enough to defend.

Also need to check in on the recruiting front to see if I can find out anything. Anybody hearing any rumors they can share? I don't follow it very much.

I am headed home.

Again: I will NOT be attending practice on Saturday. The Daughter's soccer team plays for the TITLE tomorrow and I'll soon be celebrating sweet Congo vistory.

It's also 12 years for me and Wifey, so we're having an Adult Night Out.

I will have a video tomorrow and at least one thread of substance.

Take care, HOTTIES.

I lived in the old extension they year they tore it down, that place was unbelievably bad, but we had a blast living there.

Steven, don't make too much of them swapping Caudle and Todd. Malzahn has been seeing Todd every day in practice too. He likely wants to compare Todd and Kodi. It doesn't mean Caudle is the guy or Kodi is the guy or Todd is the guy. Remember, Rollison is still in this too and he may have been comparing Rollison to Caudle today.

HAPPY WILLINGHAM-LANGNER-HARRIS DAY!!!

T-minus 28 days to kickoff!

#28 Larry Willingham - born in Cullman, raised in Birmingham. Larry was a consensus ALL-AMERICAN in 1970, his senior year at Auburn. He has a .667 Iron Bowl winning pct. He played professionally with the St. Louis Cardinals (NFL) and Birmingham Americans/Vulcans (WFL). With his Auburn degree in hand (Business Administration), Larry has pursued a successful career in real estate. Last I heard, you could buy your dream home from him in Gulf Shores.

#28 David Langner needs no introduction. Mr. Langner is 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 the Bahr's heart with a game-clinching interception. David 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 28.28 yd 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 INT list with 12, and has the highest career INT return avg of 23.9 yds. Despite all those superlatives, Mr. Langner was not voted ALL-SEC until his 1973 Sr year.

#28 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 JB's 200 yds rushing, and Joe Cribb's 167 yds rushing may have been important, one could easily state a case for true freshman and future ALL-SEC'er Bob Harris for MVP of that game. The youngster had an INT and TWO fumble recoveries, all in the 3rd quarter as Auburn overcame a 10-9 halftime deficit. Just like Larry Willingham, Bob played professionally in St. Louis (NFL) and Birmingham (the Stallions of the USFL).

WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!
GO TIGERS!!!

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

I'll start with a shout out to MrsTHT and me, who are celebrating 28 years of marital bliss today!!!

I just watched the Burns/Todd video. From a female's perspective, who just loves the game of football, but doesn't know a whole lot about it like all of the male Hotties, just from this these little snippets, I'm most impressed with Caudle. His throwing motion seems so much more effortless and natural than Burns and Todd. A couple of Todd's throws were just terrible. Granted, Burns and Caudle may have had throws like too, but we didn't see that in Jay G's videos. I'm probably wrong, but I think it's too late for Todd. IMHO, Franklin did him a disservice by bringing him to Auburn.

Langner story ... from my brother ... via fraternity brother of his.

First day of class 1972 ... Langner walks in the classroom ... espying the scenery ... finds the prettiest girl in the room ... so he selects the seat to her left.

A problem? Someone else is occupying the seat. Langner walks us up and informs the guy politely that there must be some misunderstanding and that the seat is his. The seated young man bristles at the suggestion.

Langner pummels the uncooperative lout for a minute or so.

Day 2 of class and thereafter, no one sits down until the pretty girl has made her choice for the class and then Langner. Ah, teamwork.

Luv - I agree with your (as usual) astute film analysis!

Langner did have just a wee bit of a temper. During one interception return, he leaped high in the air, cleats first, at a FSU player. Bruce Lee would have been proud.

re: fav Ice cream source... here I stick with Breyer's vanilla with Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. If I was in Blue Bell's territory, that's what I'd eat.

When in distant locales, I try to find a B&R; I've been hooked on B&R Chocolate Chip since my Auburn days. A couple of times a week I would go up to College St. and get (and consume) a hand-packed quart of Chocolate Chip ice cream. Now, I just settle for the hand packed pint. The former was $2.20 including tax, the latter $1.10. Yes, it was a long time ago.

I think you can kiss Todd good-bye. It sounds like his arm is still not there from all that I've read and heard. Anyone think that Da Freak is the one making the move that Gus is talking about? All I can say is what I've been saying.....get on board the Rollison Express.

she didn't request, I'm going to sneak out there while she's running errands. She's hosting a wedding shower in 2 weeks and our driveway needs to be pressure-washed so it looks more like the native concrete rather than some strange kind of asphalt.

MissTHT and THTjr have been working on it this week. I figured it's my turn. I don't want to see our next water bill.

crazy finish to that '94 game, most memorable for the purple shirt MrsTHT packed for little THTjr to wear, an issue that was very quickly addressed with an early morning visit to TigerRags.

However, I don't care to relive that game; our offense in that game was less productive than the one we used last year in Starville.
