Days to kickoff: 2

Our Tar Heel Tiger's Auburn Minute is brought to you by the number:

2


HAPPY BEN OBOMANU DAY!!!


Ben Obomanu: Selma, Ala.; WR 2002-05; ACADEMIC ALL-SEC in 2003 & 2004; Auburn's leading receiver in 2005. Despite the drop against Ole Miss, Ben ranks second in career TD receptions with 18, one ahead of Karsten Bailey and 11 behind Terry Beasley. Ben ranks 8th in career receptions and 13th in career receiving yards.

Jay G. note: Best interview I've ever seen was Obomanu answering questions at the podium following the Ole Miss drop. He answered honestly. He answered for several minutes. Had YouTube been big then -- or if ESPN was doing around-the-clock college coverage like it does now -- Obomanu would be a household name far beyond Alabama.

HONORABLE MENTION

* Willie Gosha : Ft. Walton, Fla.; WR 1993-96; tied with Frank Sanders for most receptions (58) in one season; Willie holds AU single game record for receptions (17 vs. Arkansas) and is also tied for 3rd (10 vs. Army); his 222 receiving yards vs Arkansas is third highest total in Auburn history.

* Tim Carter: St. Petersburg, Fla.; WR 1998-2001; Auburn's leading receiver in 2001 and leading kickoff returner in 2000. He had a 100-yard kickoff return against LSU in 2000.

* Chuck Clanton: Pensacola, Fla.; CB 1980-82

* Otis Mounds: Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; TB 1991-94

* Cornelius Joseph Dennis "Neil" O'Donoghue: Dublin, Ireland; PK 1975-76; ALL-AMERICAN in 1976; Neil still holds Auburn record for longest FG: 57 yards, set in 1976 vs Tennessee (since matched by Philip Yost). The lanky Irishman, standing over 6-foot-6, was playing soccer at St. Bernard College in Cullman during the 1970s. When the school eliminated its soccer program, Neil transferred to Auburn and kicked the prolate spheroid for two years. He parlayed that experience into a nine-year NFL career. His first game at Auburn was only the third football game he'd ever played in.

  6. I added this in the other thread, so sorry for the copy and paste...

    My honorable mention goes to Corey Lewis.

    Lewis was from Gallatin, TN and at Auburn from 89-92 I believe. He was in the 3 way battle with Stan White and Frank McIntosh for the starting QB job that White eventually won. He would be White's back up for a couple of years.

    Corey lived in Ooltewah right outside of Chattanooga for a while after he graduated. Unfortunately leukemia took his life far too early about 10 years ago at age 31.

    So to me it's Corey Lewis day!

  9. Norm, my dad's a crazy guy. sometimes you sing all the verses and sometimes you change it up. but i agree, that 3rd verse could sometimes get neglected. very sad really.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Obomanu showed a lot of guts that day for not backing down from the questions after that huge drop. I have a ton of respect for him.

    Two years later one of our coaches (David Gibbs) ran away from the same responsibility twice following games when he should have followed the example that Obomanu had already set.

  11. I remember Gosha's big night in Fayetteville well...we fell behind big - caught up - and lost. But that same night, the Braves won the World Series.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Otis deserves more!! His recruitment by Auburn could be the biggest factor for our 93 season. His role in our program is still being felt today with Hot Carter. Pat took a chance on him and Otis my man didn't dissapoint.
    Another great job THT!!

    What an idiot.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Tim Carter was FAH on that kick return vs LSU. I had brought a couple of friends with me to that game and one is a guy who never gets excited for anything...including 100 yard kick off returns. While the stadium was going crazy, he just stayed sitting in his seat. Everyone was questioning if he had a heartbeat.

    A down Carter moment was his streaking down the sideline in Fayetteville in 2001 when that game was still somewhat close and he just fumbled the ball without being touched. No idea what just happened there.

  27. Thanks Jay, good read. A couple of points of disagreement myself, but still interesting. My boss is a USC donor and he has talked (and laughed) often about the unpopular hiring of Carrol (says he was on board from the start), which more than anything, says alot about many college football fans.

    Also, Cole Cubelic...classy guy.

  39. Nor I RK, my sarcasm does not translate well on the internet, or I misread Jay's. I only knew Cole during his senior year, but he was always an arrogant pr--k when I saw him. I know my brother largely agrees, and he knows him far better than I do having worked with the o-line while Cole was there for three years or so.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Cubelic comes across that way when I've heard him on the radio and doing games.

  41. Definately the sweetest reverse Sensi.

    Also the reverse that "felt" the best.

    Such a great feeling walkin out of Legion with a victory.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think the first play of this year should be a reverse to erase the moment our offense started it's rapid death...the fumbled Prechae Rodriguez reverse in the 2005 Iron Bowl.

    Right after that play our offense left and hasn't come back.

    ReplyDelete

  46. Eddie - Do you know when that Cubelic thing was written? I ask this because of his comments about Tyrick.

    " They (coaches) didn’t bring him in to redshirt. How much he plays or if he has his own package, so to speak, time will tell, but he’s going to get reps." ~Cubelic

    ReplyDelete
  47. Monica- I'm not sure when they wrote the piece, it was just published and Cole sent out the link.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Loved this quote from Cubelic about Gus:

    "he might know too much about offense"

    Yeah, a little too Raph. That made me laugh. I feel better about Gus being too smart as opposed to hearing Franklin saying last year that's he not smart and he's not going to outthink or outcoach anybody.

  51. Funny story about Obamanu and "The Drop." I had Real Estate class with him the season after "The Drop." It was the Thursday before the Ole Miss game. The teacher clearly didn't follow AU football and had no idea Obamanu had dropped the game winner last season. When class was over, someone mentioned to the teacher that it was Obamanu's bday. The teacher told him "Happy Birthday" and then said, "Don't drop any passes this weekend." You could have heard a pin drop and everyone looked like they wanted to stab the teacher in the face! It was AWESOME!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Good Story, Shesaid.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Come to think of it, maybe the teacher did follow AU football and knew exactly what he was doing. Tough love? I think it worked considering AU went undefeated.

    I totally agree about Ben, Jay...he was a man about it. That was one of my beefs with Gibbs after our loss to Wis. in the Bowl game after the 2005 season. He bolted before the presser. A man will face the good and the bad...good stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  57. The Obamanu interview did make College Football Final back then... the ESPN guys were impressed I remember.

  71. I remember going to Opelika First Baptist the morning after the Ole Miss game, and Ben O. was there in service.

    That left and indelible impression me; another Selma man making good at AU, and expressing his faith strongly.

    BTW, I don't think that group of recievers on the 2004-2005 teams gets enough credit for how good those 04-05 offesnses were. Ben O. Devin A. Nix and Courtney Taylor are all still in the NFL in some capacity, (whereas Mike Williams and the Colbert kid washed out). You saw what happened to the offesne after they graduated.

    That play occurred just moments after a Bama DB cold-cocked Borges on the sidelines. He was never the same.

    BTW, I wonder if Ben ever got annoyed with Tuberville's complete inability to pronounce his last name correctly?

    OH-buh-ma-NOO? He really had to work to come up with that pronunciaton.

    ReplyDelete
  74. As for Obamanu, you have to respect a kid that has that much maturity, similar to the way Kodi handled the QB situation.

    A lot of kids could learn from Obamanu. I hope the coaches showed the team video of that, too. No, not just the drop against Ole Miss. Show how he handled it. There are some players that, if they make a mistake, more seem to just flow from it. Cox and INTs come to mind.

    A player that puts a mistake behind him quickly is a valuable thing. Ever player makes mistakes. Few recover as quickly as Obamanu did, especially in such a highly publicized mistake.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Eddie - Matt Lowe says he did that piece with Cubelic last Tuesday.

  160. From what I understand, the new Auburn reality TV thing starts tomorrow, but it is on CSS, which I don't have. Someone needs to cover that and give us updates. By any chance, are they going to be able to vote people off?

  161. Ahhhhhh!!! Finebaum is on ESPN!!! My biggest fears are realized!!!

  162. Finebaum refers to RRod as dead man walking. That settles it. RRod will be around for a while.
