Quick Note on Eric Smith

Hey everyone. Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones, a friend of the blog, said Auburn tailback Eric Smith surrendered to authorities at 2:40 p.m. today.

He was booked (and soon released on bond) at the Lee County Detention Center on a charge of third-degree assault. That's a Class A misdemeanor. He also has been charged with disorderly conduct, which is a Class C misdemeanor.

His court date is scheduled for Nov. 5.

Monica said...: Cincy - Shane wrote a list slamming media personalities and Brando was one of them. Brando read it on his show and was obviously quite flustered by it. So, in Jerry Springer fashion, Brando was on to have it out with Shane.

I must say I was most disappointed that Shane got the better of Brando.; 9:43 PM

Anonymous said...: Mon... sorry that I ducked out. I was beng chivalrous and going to work out with the Mrs., even though I really didn't want to.

Earlier, when I mentioned that I don't see much chivalry today, I was referring to the teens-twenty year-olds I see in the media and out in the world. My friends and personal group embrace chilvary or I wouldn't associate with them.

Steve mentioned earlier that chivalry included doing the right thing regardless of the legal consequences. Unfortunately many of the chilvarous acts throughout history that involves defending someone will now get you thrown in jail, kicked off of a football team and probably sued. Today's only allowable versions of chilvalrous defense seem to be that you can either verbally defend someone or call the po-po. We can thank the attorneys for that.; 10:05 PM

I hope that the worst of your worries are behind you and I hope that you have inner peace. For all of my heroes all over this globe serving to keep us safe at home, I wish God's guiding hand and your safe return home very soon. Thank you for your willingness to stand between the bad guys and all of us at home. We appreciate you so very much and love you and your families more than you will ever know. May God continue to bless this great country with the freedom that he has granted each of us. May we never forget those that were willing to pay the price for our blessed freedom. God bless Auburn. May she ever live in her glory. And I now go to bed and await God's decision as to wheather he grants me another day before he needs me.

I will say goodnight to all, thanks for becoming my friend and thank you Jay for all that you do to keep us informed about Auburn athletics. We appreciate your hard work and sacrifice. I send each of you my warmest Auburn love.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: T-minus 11 days til kickoff!!!

Wow. There's way too much talent for this day, so let's get started. Just remember the rule... Academics come first.

HAPPY WILLIAM EUGENE CODY DAY!!!

Bill Cody was born in Greenwood, MS and arrived at Auburn via Orlando, FL. He was one of Auburn's most outstanding linebackers. "Wild Bill" was a unanimous selection to the 1963 All-SEC Sophomore Team. He was first team All-SEC linebacker as a junior, and again as a senior. He was also first-team ALL-AMERICAN as a senior in 1965. Similarly, the Education major achieved Academic All-SEC honors in 1964 and 1965, and ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN in 1965.

LET'S CALL HIM TWO TOUCHDOWN CODY
On October 30, 1965, the 7th ranked Florida Gators entered Cliff Hare Stadium with junior QB Steve Spurrier at the helm. Auburn fell behind 10-0 at the half, not earning a first down until less then 3 minutes to go in the half. I'm sure Coach Jordan had some encouraging words for his team in the halftime locker room. The Tigers, behind the leadership of second string QB Alex Bowden, quickly matriculated down the field for a TD early in the 3rd quarter. On Florida's first play from scrimmage after the kickoff, Bill Cody graciously accepted a Spurrier pass and returned it 29 yards for a score. In the 4th quarter, the Auburn defense pressured Spurrier into surrendering the ball, and All-American Cody pounced on it in the end zone for another TD. The Tigers ate the Gators up that day, 28-17.

After completing his Auburn education, Bill Cody was drafted in the 5th round by the Detroit Lions. After one year in the Motor City, he was selected by the New Orleans Saints in their expansion draft. He spent 4 seasons in N'awlins. He didn't play in 1971, but apparently was acquired by the Minnesota Vikings. Records show he was traded from the Vikings to the Eagles prior to the 1972 season for the Eagles' 1973 10th round draft pick; Cody spent his final pro year in Philadelphia. I know he spoke last year at an Auburn Club meeting that also featured Coaches Tuberville, Rhoads, and Franklin. Otherwise, I'll have to rely on the Hotties to fill us in on Mr Cody's current whereabouts and activities.; 12:23 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: SUPER HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Karlos Dansby - All-American linebacker in 2003 and two time All-SEC, Dansby was a finalist for the Butkus Award and was named the Atlanta Touchdown Club Defensive Back of the Year. He was the field general of Defensive Coordinator Gene Chizik's 2003 Tiger defense which ranked 5th in the country in total defense. Mr. Dansby is currently a NFL star with the Arizona Cardinals.

Travid Tidwell - Born: 2/5/1925 in Florence, AL, Travis Tidwell is one of only two freshmen to ever lead the nation in total offense, earning that honor in 1946. He also led the nation in total offense as a senior in 1949 and was Auburn's career total offense leader until Pat Sullivan established a new standard. As a quarterback in the T-formation, Tidwell engineered the Tigers to an Iron Bowl win over the heavily favored Tide in 1949 by the score of 14-13. He was a first round draft choice of the NY Giants. In his 1950 rookie season, he entered a game with the Giants trailing the Baltimore Colts 20-0. Mr. Tidwell led the Giants to a remarkable 55-20 comeback win. He spent two seasons in NY, then played in the CFL, coached at Auburn, and later sold insurance and stocks and securities. Travis Tidwell was the first Auburn player to be named Senior Bowl MVP. He also played centerfield on the Auburn baseball team which also featured 4-sport star Erk Russell as first baseman.

In the 1949 game vs Mississippi State, Tidwell ran over a DT by the name of Jerry Clower, dragging him 27 yards and rendering him unconscious, all the while reportedly running backwards. You can listen to Jerry Clower's version of the story starting at the 5:50 mark of this recording.

Phil Gargis - outstanding veer option QB who led Auburn in rushing and in total offense in 1975 and 1976. He had a fantastic game vs UGA in Auburn in 1974, one of many memorable trips I took with THTSr to watch the Tigers play. I think Gargis had 160 yards rushing that day in Auburn's nail-biter 17-13 win.

Stan White - 4 year starter and Auburn's all-time career leader in total offense and passing yards. Stan also earned Academic All-SEC honors in 1993.

Mac Champion - earned a letter and a national championship as backup QB in 1957.

WARRRRR EAGLE!!!

Kathy said...: I've been busy this past week, so haven't had much time to post. I do want to welcome all the new posters we have. IV has some fantastic stories.

Only comment I have regarding Mr. Smith, what the heck was he doing out that late? Surely he was past curfew. I trust CGC to do what is best for Auburn, the team, and most importantly Mr. Smith.; 12:39 AM
Unknown said...: Thanks for the history lesson THT. It was great and I loved the Jerry Clower audio. I would have gone with Travis Tidwell, but you could have picked several of those guys. There are a lot of talented number 11s. I remember Phil Gargis and appreciated what he did. If I recall right, he was on Coach Jordan's final team.; 3:57 AM

The lowlight of that game, while it was 16-3 UNC in the 4th quarter, Daniel Cobb has us in the Red Zone and fires a bullet to Tim Carter, who ducks out of the way of the pass thinking it was intended for Lorenzo Diamond was was cutting across the field 5 yards behind him.; 6:12 AM

Wild Bill Cody did spend a year or two as a youngster in mine and Coach Jordan's hometown of Selma. My patience was worth it. I have long loved Mr. Jerry Clower and his sense of humor. I remember the Travis Tidwell story from when that record first came out. WAR EAGLE and thanks so very much THT.; 7:09 AM

You didn't ask me, but here's my response.

Get your heart right, Tiger Rags, or get yo' @$$ out.; 7:35 AM
Zteven said...: Mornin', Auburn Fans!

Im going to side with Peter on the Cow College T-shirt issue. I dont have strong feelings on it one way or the other, however, so I could probably be persuaded to change sides. On the T-shirt issue, NOT the Infidel issue. Thats set in stone, written in blood, etc.; 7:35 AM

Anonymous said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 7:50 AM
Quitstina said...: Take this however, but the term "Christian" was used to ridicule those who followed Jesus. Now it's just the everyday term used. I assume the Cow College shirts are the same type deal, just like all the LSU fans last year showing up with corn dogs. If you show people the "names" don't bother you, then they lose their negative meaning.

That being said, I don't think I will be buying one.; 7:53 AM

IV said...: Eddie... I have mixed emotions about the CC shirts from Tiger rags. I would rather hear what you younger folks think about the issue and learn from you. It is for sure that Tiger Rags did it for one reason only, to make money. I think they will sell some. Will it have been worth their effort? I don't know. But I say if you don't like it, don't buy it and give them hell for doing it. Boycott them in the future if you like. They have been a game day tradition for some time. If business falls off, they will get the message. So you younguns keep sounding off, this old man loves being able to be here and hearing what you have to say.; 8:02 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: IV- I'm taking the give them hell and boycott spending their route and any LSU fan that embraced "Corn Dogs" good for them, but i'm sure a majority of their fan base doesn't, at least the several I know.; 8:04 AM
WarEagleRK said...: It would be the same as if a Bama merchandiser created "Toothless hillbilly rednecks and proud of it shirts".

Bryant for years held us down, and used that term in derogatory fashion against us, and now we have shirts that glorify that phrase? I'm sorry, to me that just says "hey they were right, we are just a small spot on the map and insignificant to the other big school in the state."

You don't embrace oppression in any form.; 8:07 AM
Anonymous said...: First of all...that T shirt is UGLY, but I think that is the isssue for many AU folks.

When I was a Bammer, I could never understand why AU fans get all low self-esteem, whiny and defensive because of the CC term. The only reason Bammers use it is because of the AU poor reaction.

Bahr plagerized the term, so go ahead Bama use it.....remind us again how Bahr cheated.

The AU farmers I know are wealthy and have more land, belongings and tangible family history than most any other Alabamians. Those same farmers employ Bammers to do their sweaty work. Most of those farmers spend their time purchasing and selling goods....oh and managing their money.

I haven't run into a single Bammer that has had an intelligent comeback, once confronted with this argument.

I say...come out of the closet....we should be proud of our agricultural heritage and those AU farmer families.

I say blame TigerRags for the ugly T shirt, not the concept.; 8:09 AM
Anonymous said...: Saban could tell the Bammer fan base they were all toothless arrogant rednecks and the next thing you know there'd be t-shirts, baby wear, and Daniel Moore prints.

It's all about perspective.; 8:09 AM
IV said...: Eddie, let me be a little more honest with you. When I first heard about the CC shirts, I thought it was funny. I won't go into why; however, the more I listen to you guys, the more I begin to change my mind about it. How can I possibly be on the other side of an issue when the majority of my new found wonderful friends think otherwise?; 8:10 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Hoopie- I agree with being proud about our agricultural history, but use something we come up with, not something that is meant in negative light.; 8:12 AM
cincytiger said...: Just finished watching the second half of the 2004 highlight DVD. I picked it up with the Louisiana Tech game that we won 52-7! I would love to see the same result this year.

IV said...: Oops. Just as I started out the door I thought of one more thing concerning the CC issue and just had to come back and say it. Coach Jordan never made a derogatory remark about the bahr or any other coach or his school. Coach Jordan wanted to beat your tail in football, but he never wanted to humiliate you. He respected you as his foe, he never had to stoop to the level that I speak of. He was widely known for his being a gentleman that would put forth his best effort to beat you on the field of combat but be there to shake your hand and recognize your effort afterwards. You can have Coach Bryant and his three hundred and whatever wins. For me, I like it Shug style. That will be one of the very few times you will ever hear me refer to Coach Jordan as Shug, I have too much respect for him.; 8:35 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Jay G,

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: surely you jest, Mr. Maisel

There has been excitement for several months at Auburn and Tennessee over the new starts that both program undertook. And then last week Tigers coach Gene Chizik named Chris Todd the starting quarterback. And then Monday Vols coach Lane Kiffin named Jonathan Crompton the starting quarterback. They're the same guys as last year. That's what August does. You go from, "Things will change!" to "Will things change?" Reality can dampen excitement.; 8:55 AM
