Days to kickoff: 3

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

3


How many times do I have to remind you, do your school work first!

Three of our nominees received All-SEC honors during their Auburn careers, but only one was selected Academic All-SEC.

* Jorge Portela: Miami, Fla.; PK 1977-79; ALL-SEC in 1977; ACADEMIC ALL-SEC in 1978 & 1979 with a major in electrical engineering. Ranks in Auburn's Top 10 in career scoring and FGs made. His longest made FG: 52 yards. His best game came during his sophomore year when his five FGs, including a 51-yard kick, enabled Charlie Trotman to emerge a winner in his first start at quarterback. The Tigers entered that Oct 29, 1977, game against the Florida Gators as underdogs, sporting a 3-4 record. John Crane had started the first seven games. Coach Doug Barfield decided to play Trotman for a while, but Trotman had other ideas. He played well enough to stay in the entire game, completing nine of his 14 passes for 177 yards and a TD. Jorge Portela's five FGs provided the margin of victory as the Tigers downed the Gators, 29-14.

Jorge Portela is the son of Cuban refugees. Jorge's niece, Lindsay Portela, signed a LOI to compete in equestrian and recently arrived for her freshman year on the Plains.

HONORABLE MENTION

Gardner Jett: Atlanta, Ga.; PK 1970-72; ALL-SEC in 1970. His 42-yard FG with less than 10 minutes to play put Auburn on the board in the 1972 Iron Bowl. His 2nd PAT put Auburn ahead, 17-16. It was one of the most memorable days of my life, and I believe the FG was the longest of Mr. Jett's AU career to that point.

He nailed a 52-yard kick during the 1972 Gator Bowl as Auburn trounced the Colorado Buffaloes 24-3.

* Kevin Porter: Warner Robins, Ga.; CB 1984-87; ALL-SEC in 1987.

* Al Del Greco: Key Biscayne, Fla.; PK 1980-83; a solid kicker who won the 1984 Sugar Bowl with 3 FGs as Auburn defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 9-7. He ranks in Auburn's Top 10 in career scoring and FGs made. His longest FG at AU: 52 yards. He had even greater success in the NFL, playing 17 seasons with the Packers, Cardinals, and Oilers/Titans. Al spends a lot of his time on the radio these days, as does the man who overshadowed him in the SEC, Georgia's Kevin Butler.

* Rusty Williams - Moncks Corner, S.C.; RB 1996-99; led Auburn in rushing in 1996 and 1997, with a total of 716 yards during those two years.

Anyone else in here think "La Wreck La Tech" is harmless? I mean, I won't buy one, but I never buy their t shirts. That one is just about par for the course for a gameday themed t shirt in my opinion, though. Not a sign of the times or anything.

Been a long time since I bought a Tiger Rags shirt, I'd say sometime in the late '80's. The one I always liked (which I think I still have somewhere) was for the '87 GT game. That was the last one in the continual series, so the shirt had a tiger paw grabbing and strangling a yellow jacket and said, "Catch a Buzz, One Last Time!"

From USA Today:

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics have signed free agent guard Marquis Daniels (FSY).
Daniels is coming off the best of his six seasons, averaging career highs of 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in 54 games with the Indiana Pacers, 43 of them starts. The Celtics announced his signing on Tuesday.

Daniels, 28, spent three seasons with Dallas before moving to Indiana. For his career, he is averaging 9.4 points in 351 games, including 109 starts.

At 6-feet-6, Daniels gives the Celtics a big guard to come off the bench.

I'm guessing Tiger Rags didn't want to completely rip of the old "Wreck Tech" slang so that is why they inserted the extra "La" in there. Tiger Rags is dead to me also.

One night in college we were sitting around ready to enjoy some fine Beatles music. When we turned it on, it was only the voices singing and no music. It was rather bizarre and we were pretty freaked out. It was eventually discovered that one of the speaker wires was disconnected.

When it comes to a short yardage situation where you just need that one yard, I still wouldn't mind going from under center. Obivously Tebow has made a living of successful short yard situations out of the shotgun, but I like to have the option of the ugliest play in fooball: the quarterback sneak.

Can Kellen Winslow go more than 3 games without a season ending injury?

However, just ask him and he'll say "I'm a soldier".

Even though there's only 3 days till kickoff, my morning wasn't quite as happy after I read my email this morning, Monica.

When Kellen Winslow Jr., gets hurt, do they send him to Walter Reed?

I'm in a sweet ACC/SEC fantasy league, and I just picked up Kodi as a WR (based on the latest "official" depth chart from AU). I hope that pans out well.

True Blood is one truly wild show. The second season is much wilder than the first. It makes me curious what they will come up with for next season.

Norm, if you are still out there,

Thank you for making my night.

Read your post guiding us all to the "S#@% My Dad Says" site as we were getting ready for bed. Naturally I went there. I had tears streaming down my face I was laughing so hard which led to falling off the bed.

It was hilarious, hubby was laughing at me laughing (and falling) and then I was laughing at him laughing at me, then he read what I was reading and couldn't quit laughing and I started back up laughing at him. We finally snickered ourselves to sleep.

Fun was had by all! Hope we didn't wake the neighbors.

Anyway thanks, most action we've had in a while.
