Randy Campbell back in the fray

Hey everyone. Upon arrival at Auburn moments ago, I received word that former Auburn quarterback Randy Campbell has been selected to serve on the Board of Trustees. He will represent District Six, which includes Birmingham.

He is replacing Paul Spina.

Campbell is president of Campbell Financial Partners and Harlan Partners, both in Birmingham. He graduated from Auburn in 1984 with a degree in industrial management.

Bob Riley, president pro tem of the Auburn Board, will send the selection to the Alabama Senate. Trustee nominees require senate confirmation.

(Here he is pictured with his wife, Nancy.)

  2. 2.0,
    I must say that does not sound appetizing.

    ReplyDelete
  3. how long do you think it will take the politicians to do their thing? more importantly, how many bammers are amongst them?

    ReplyDelete
  4. He has a very attractive wife!

    And, he's a very good guy. I'm pleased with this BOT appointee.

    ReplyDelete
  5. There are quite a few bammers, but I think confirmations are pretty routine unless the person is very controversial. Randy should be confirmed without any problem.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I think that was sort of the principle behind the Willy Wonka gum. If it's of that variety, watch out for the dessert part.

  7. I always liked Randy Campbell (and yes, DMiller, his wife appears to be very attractive). Anybody got any thoughts on him being a former teammate of Jay Jacobs?

    Choco,

    Are you joining the No Shave Til Bama Falls club with me and Miller?

    ReplyDelete
  10. It won't be easy ... the chairman of the Confirmations Committee is black, and at the Harbert confirmation made it plain that he was tired of seeing only white trustee nominees from the universities come before his committee.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Okay, I am finally back from 'gomery, whew, I can take a deep breath now. Trying to catch up on all the fun things that have been happening on HABOTN today. If I haven't told you before, you guys are good, especially the girl guys. Monica, check your in box again. If no mail, wait about 30 mins., tell me again and I will rectify the problem, I think.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Jet,
    But don't they have to have a reason not to confirm him, other than he is white so they won't?

    ReplyDelete
  13. cincy... since when has having to have a valid reason ever mattered?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hmmm, if I do that there's a good chance that Mrs. Choco will start her own No Lovin' Til You Shave Club.

    ReplyDelete
  15. You're right, my husband says I always try to apply logic and common sense to situations that don't require it.

    Powerful, these female creatures are, Choco.

  17. Seeing Randy brings back pleasant childhood memories of listening to Auburn on the radio... good times.

    I think this is an excellent choice.

    ReplyDelete
  18. if any former starting QB at a major D-I program can't score a hottie wife they need to go back & take pimpin' 101. i mean, come on.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Scott Choc,
    I have been a member of that fan club before. It is very persuasive.

    ReplyDelete
  20. LMAO that was good stuff right there, Scottie and I totally agree with you.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Monica neither starts nor joins a club that diminishes her own pleasure. And that's all I'm saying about that.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'll bet he still has to shave regularly.

    ReplyDelete
  23. i tried a gameday beard last year but mrs. scottie wasn't thrilled. it didn't last too long b/c we started sucking so bad.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Monica, so you're saying a ZZ Top - style beard would not decrease your pleasure? Not sayin' Bama's going to go that long without losing - just askin'.

    ReplyDelete
  25. just to clarify, Auburn started sucking so bad. no need for beard really. my baby face still hasn't grasped the beard concept anyways.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Whoa! Nice venue. The HABOTN meet & greet better have the same event planner.

    ReplyDelete

    Matt makes a good point.

    Is there a plan for an informal gathering before La. Tech.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ha! I didn't catch that until you clarified it, ScottieB. You're lucky that some of the more immature Hotties (j-z) are not around right now.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Scott, I'm saying any tactic of persuasion that I engage will not be a tactic that causes me a decrease in pleasure.

    "Greg, you don't look so good in a beard" would do it. Monica don't play withholding games.

    ReplyDelete
  30. yeah, if i had made that slip during puppet hour i'd have been in for a load of hurt, eh? ha.

    Mon, you crack me up.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I have not told my wife yet about my plans to forego shaving until $puat bites the dust...

    ReplyDelete
  32. well, it was nice knowin' ya D.Miller.

    ReplyDelete
  33. But would you let Greg play the "I'm not shaving til Bama loses" game?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Greg doesn't need my permission to do anything.

    ReplyDelete
  35. in other words... no

    ReplyDelete

    DMiller, just tell your wife it's only until Sept. 6.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm not sure of her ability with a razor (near facial areas at least).... and I'm almost afraid she may try to get me while I'm sleeping...

    ReplyDelete
  38. My youthful appearance does not exactly embrace the beard concept readily...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Miller - isn't she in med-school? Shouldn't there be some semblance of confidence in her cutting abilities?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ehh, Mon - not analyzing your relationship....but since he doesn't need your permission, if he's in on (and committed to) the beard-growing game, and Bama doesn't lose for a long, long, long time (God forbid), is he gettin' lucky? ('cause the "You don't look so good in beard" thing can't work, 'cause he's committed, see? Heeheeheehahahaha!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yes, he's getting lucky.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Norm... I am confident in her cutting abilities... it is her ability NOT to cut, that I am unsure of...

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ahhh, I see. Separate bedrooms then?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Wow, do I have some hypotheticals to present to Mrs. Choco tonight!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Why is it, when I am trying my best to catch up on about 400 posts, I can go right by anyone's link to other sites except Michael's? The business presentation link was outrageously funny. LMFAO.

    ReplyDelete
  46. The old geezer killed the thread again

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wait...What are we talking about shaving or not shaving?

    ReplyDelete
  48. What do you normally shave, j-z?

    ReplyDelete
  49. better yet... I may not want to know... no need to answer that

    ReplyDelete
  50. Why do I not see Scottie B or Jet in the HABOTN pick 'em yet? disappointing fellas... I thought you were leaders...

    ReplyDelete
  51. Congrats Randy!!! He is one of my favorite QBs and a true Auburn man. This blogs for you:)

  52. THT is in, setting a good example.... but 2.0 is not following in her father's footsteps...

  54. Cincy, the Confirmations Committee refused for four years to take up the nomination of Phil Richardson to Lowder's seat. After Siegelman was elected, Lowder was renominated and quickly confirmed. Under the new law that governs trustee selection, a trustee can serve for one year after the expiration of their term, pending the confirmation of a successor.After a year, if no successor is confirmed, the seat becomes vacant. A likely scenario is that the Committee chair may make Randy wait the year and see how the election goes.

    ReplyDelete
  55. It all depends on who's asking Dusty, you or Mrs. Campbell? 'Cause I'm just going to tell you, you would both get very different answers.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Greg asked me to ask if any of you take a large "D" or a cardboard fence to football games.

    IV I finally received your email and I answered it.

    Norm - No separate bedrooms.

    ReplyDelete
  57. and I am glad for that, j-z

    ReplyDelete
  58. mon,
    I am the only big D that I take to games...

    ReplyDelete
  59. There are rumors flying around that you only carry a merely adequate D to the game.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Wifey got a chuckle from that, j-z. She says that those rumors are baseless and unsubstantiated.

    ReplyDelete
  61. D I need a picture of the D you're talking about because I'm not sure if it's the same D Greg is talking about.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm sure it isn't, Mon...

    I do not take a D cut out of cardboard to games...

    I was referring to myself... my name... D... get it? ahhh, nevermind!

    ReplyDelete
  63. LOL yes, I got it you big goober. I was looking forward to Wifey's reply to my request.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Word is, J-Z has a set of Double Ds attached to his chest he carries everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Dusty, thanks for your fb support. Hotties gotta stick together.

  67. Sorry, mon... you gotta catch her on the walk-through... she's locked away studying now...

    ReplyDelete
  68. I understand. Thanks anyway. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  69. 2.0 will spend the entire football season 4,994 miles away from Auburn, so I don't expect her to sign up for the pick 'em contest.

    And I'm guessing that yours truly will forget to make his picks NLT the end of September.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Mon, the only Ds I ever carried to a football game were the ones that showed up on my final quarter grades, (I know, all you younguns went after it was changed to the semester system). The only reason I did that was so I could tell my parents that the big left defensive tackle ate my grade sheet and if they wanted to see it, they would have to go and get it back from him, not me. I also never took a section of a picket fence with me to a game but did take a roll of barbed wire with me one time.

    ReplyDelete
  71. well said, j-z...

    ReplyDelete
  72. That is no excuse, THT...

    I'm only giving her a hard time...

    ReplyDelete
  73. Easy now old man...I was still there when AU was on quarters.

    ReplyDelete
  74. man D.Miller, my bad. sorry to disappoint. will try to rectify that soon. don't you give up on me!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  75. IV Auburn was on quarters when I was there. You and I are practically the same age!

    And...ummmm...why did you take barbed wire?

    ReplyDelete
  76. How did you get a roll of barbed wire into the stadium?! And... why?

    ReplyDelete
  77. I haven't given up on you Scottie B... I believe you have potential, and I just want to see you reach it.

    ReplyDelete
  78. never took a D or a fence, but i did take a pair of Aubie paws i made to represent '6' to the '07 Iron Bowl. they were a bit hit. also took some signs to ESPN's Gameday vs. UF in '06 and @ Vandy in '08.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Thanks, Jet, why does politics have to affect everything?

    ReplyDelete
  80. You posted a pic of those paws one time, Scottie. They were AWESOME!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Having a hot wife like that should get you a senate confirmation.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I so very much like this appointment.

    When I was growing up, Randy Campbell and Freddie Smith were who I used to 'play as' in neighborhood football.

    We always won.

    It probably helped that the other teams were generally made up of little brothers though.

    Yet once again Randy's individual accomplishment makes us all proud, and will make Auburn University better.

    So I say "Huzzah! Congratulations, Randy Campbell! I still want to be like you some day"
