HAPPY SHELLING-ROSEGREEN DAY!!!
Chris Shelling: Columbus, Ga.; CB/SS 1991-94; ALL-SEC in 1993 and ALL-AMERICAN in 1994; tied for 7th place with 11 career interceptions, Chris' interception return average of 21.3 yards trails only David Langner.
Shelling led AU with 4 picks in 1992. His most outstanding game was vs LSU in 1994. Shelling had 18 tackles, recovered a fumble for a touchdown, and made a game-saving interception in the end zone with 15 seconds remaining to preserve a 30-26 win. For that performance, Chris was named SEC Player of the Week. He was also one of three finalists in 1994 for the Jim Thorpe Award.
Junior Rosegreen : Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; S 2001-04; ALL-SEC and ALL-AMERICAN in 2004; led the team with 6 interceptions in 2004. Rosegreen matched a 65-year-old SEC record and set an Auburn record with four intercepted passes off Volunteer quarterbacks Erik Ainge and Brent Schaeffer during Auburn's blowout 34-10 win in Knoxville in 2004. Both teams were ranked in the Top 10 entering the game.

that's good Jet
Hopefully the smell of the new thread will invite others back into the room.
Three?
FSJ- Sorry if I missed in an earlier thread, but how is your daughter?
4 for Day 4
oops.....
Congrats to Luke on his first #1 post on prior thread! He brought some substanciogenic substance.
Me llamo Jonas.
We are now, in days, under the total score of the Auburn-Mississippi State game last year.
Just thought you'd wanna know.
GREAT Song, Jay G. Blue album is probably still my favorite Weezer album. 15 years and going strong!
Speaking of Weezer, I like the new song.
Bible class zzzzzzzzzzz
Eddie,
She is ok right now. My wife and I are kind of in a fog. We went Friday to have tubes put in her ears and then were hit with the fact that she had some symptoms of CF in her sinuses. So we had to think about that all weekend and then went for the test yesterday that came back positive.
We will be learning a lot over the next month or so.
Jet,
Glad to hear that your wife is on the mend. I hope that she continues to make a strong come back just like the AUBURN TIGERS are going to do starting Sat. No drops, WAR EAGLE
Me llamo Jorge Jetson. Este Jane, mi esposa. Estan mi sustantivo Elroy, mi hija Judy, y mi perro Astro.
Jet - I'll forward it to JGT for Game Day. FANTASTIC work!
FSJ
Again, I am so sorry to learn that you and yours face a difficult challenge in your dear, sweet daughter's life. If there is anything you need that I can help you with, please let me know. The old man Auburn Tiger feels for you strong. Good luck and may God bless each of you.
Wishing all the best for your little girl, FSJ
Jhag ...
You need me to teach the Good Book to your class.
Lesson One -- Respect Your Elders.
"And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
"And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
"And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria." -- 2 Kings 2:23-25 (KJV).
My bald headed Dad quotes those verses all the time.
FSJ- I will definitely keep your daughter in my thoughts and prayers. Be strong and stay positive!
South Carolina losses thursday
Today is one day closer to reaching your dreams...of gameday.
Proudest moment as an Auburn student was when Junior knocked out Reggie Brown and the student section started chanting "Reggie!" with the UGA fans.
I think this weekend might be top 2 of my entire life so far
jhag, my top two: Sugar Bowl in NOLA, 2004. Iron Bowl, 2003.
Have we talked about Eric Smith filing his own charges against the kid he hit?
Happy Reggie Worthy day everyone!
We've not but I read the other kid plans to surrender. This is a good sign for Mr. Smith. Whether or not it affects his standing with the Chiz remains to be seen.
We sure are slow for 4 days before kickoff! Where is everyone?? I am off to the dentist.
I heard he was suing
Jonesy, I was in the student section and don't recall that chant. Could have been the bourbon, but I'd like to think we had enough class not to cheer for a potential serious injury of an opposing player.
My proudest moment did come that year in Knoxville. Probably pinpoint it on RB Slamhammering Jason Allen's helmet off for a TD.
Jonesy, nevermind I see what you mean. It was the bourbon, after all.
Man that picture (rosegreen > brown) brings back alot of memories...Auburn v UGA 2004 was one the best days ever.
The high tide of Auburn football of the last 20 years.
That AU v UGA game was one of the best games I can ever remember seeing. Definitely makes my top 5 list.
The last 20 years? The 1989 Iron Bowl still falls under the last 20 year umbrella. So that one will still be # 1.
I remember telling all my buds that we were going to rail them in that game. They thought we were going to be in a dogfight.
But y'all are right, great game.

There's several games from the 2004 season that would rank in my top ten. LSU and UTx2 come to mind.
Congrats, Pete!
Sorry Rk, 19 years and 8 months
uggggghhhh 4 days
I still enjoyed the game at UT in 2004 better than the UGA game, but I do live in Tennessee, so it meant more to me.
I concur WERK, I grew up in Nashvegas surrounded by UT fans. Half my graduating class went to UTK. Trust me, both of those games were huge to me.
UT used to be public enemy no. 1 until this most recent season...now I get the Bama hate.
Going back to the Eric Smith thing for a second. Can both of the boys decide to drop charges and this thing be over? Or now that the charges are filed do they have to go to court?
Congrats, Pete, on the new job!
RK, i heard you actually live in Ft. Oglethorpe....
kidding...
UT game was hype...I was in Athens, GA watching with the future wife and everyone there was loving the beating we put on UT
I believe they can both drop the charges...
Tateronium sounds highly radioactive and unstable.
E. Smith will still have the Disorderly Conduct to deal with but that's not nearly as big of a deal as the other.
Jay G- "I may win the lottery"
You know you love working for the MA/Gannett so much that you would stay and deliver no matter what your situation.
Another fine post by our resident glass half empty Habotn ROF Member, Sensi....
Chizik, Auburn Need Big Win
Eddie - That was an awesome video you posted. I'd love to know what software that guy used to produce that.
Glad to hear Mrs. Jet is a tiny bit better.
Peter - congrats on your job, if you don't talk much they may keep you
Chris Shelling??????

you're welcome
Monica- He has been doing videos for quite awhile and he just keeps getting better and better. That was some pretty cool stuff there.
Peter you're such a deleter! That's bad for your health!
Eddie - it was very, VERY cool. I subscribed to his channel so hopefully I'll get a little notice next time he spits one out.
Anyone ever know what happened to Rosegreen? Loved that guy.
Rosegreen is listed on Seattle's roster.
good for him...never could figure out why junior never got drafted. That dude would cripple you if he got the chance.
Actually, he was at one time with the 'Hawks, not currently with the team. Not a lot of info out there on him.
I didn't know that about Junior. Good for him. Last I heard, he was hosting a draft party and then he didn't get drafted (same thing happened to former tight end Robert Johnson). Came a long way from Dillard.
Oh, after seeing Sean's comment, apparently not good for Junior.
Continued prayers for Abbie, FSJ. I have some family members going through a similar situation.
It's flippin' GORGEOUS here again today. 12:03 p.m., 69 degrees, super sunny. It's like October! (Oct and May are my favorite months in West Virginia.)
Thanks Monica, I just got drenched walking across campus.
FSJ, I am catching up on HABOTN comments, so just now saw the news about your daughter. I will keep her in my prayers.
we should definitely have saved this weather for Saturday. It's stupendous!
THT are you lonely at home?
Somebody mentioned Jimmy Warren on a previous thread. When I was at AU we played a charity soccer game against former AU football players. At one point, I was looking back for a pass and accidently ran into Jimmy Warren. It was like running into a brick wall. He didn't move, but I certainly went down. Incidently, about the only good soccer players among the former football players were Byron Franklin and one of the former kickers (can't remember which one).
I see where D Bates has been named the starter at safety. Interesting. How many more newcomers are starting this week?
Freeman, Fairly, Benton, Bates, Gulley (?)
That is a lot isn't it?
I'm going to try and behave and not comment on that one funny little line in Scott's post.
I've turned into 15 year old boy.

You mental health. Smile, Peter.
malnourished, but not lonely. Still got Molly dog & THTjr
Rosegreen, the hit, he be the man.
Monica,
The weather is not bad here today either. But please share some of your 60 degree day with us. I love Oct. as well, along with the other Fall months now that I am in the autumn of my years. Check in boxes for a new anecdote.
War Eagle Extra supposedly has the official depth chart. I do recall ever seeing a depth chart with so mnay positions only 2 deep.
I can't open Works docs, IV. Sorry. :-(
How old is THTJr?
LOL @ Peter the Deleter
Bates is starting and Kodi listed as backup receiver was interesting.
30% chance of rain in east tennessee today. a little overcast right now.
i feel about the same. come on friday!
Monica, I will take care of it later as I have to get ready for a trip to the Gump and dentist. Grrrrr.
Depth Chart is out now:
Notes of Interest:
Darren Bates is listed as starter along with Ethridge at Safety
Antoine Carter not listed on Depth Chart
Starting WR's are Adams and Zachery. Backups listed as Benton and Burns
Fannin is starting FB/H-Back
New thread peeps!
u referring to DC on auburnsports.com?
it's not a new thread until...
NOW there's a new thread
OK, IV. Dentist - yuck!
Sensi, I read your blog and have similar concerns. I don't recall a more upbeat offseason other than possibly 2003. Both the coaches and players have been upbeat. The only one that has seemed to try to lower expectations is the Chiz. This could get real interesting real fast if we don't win convincingly.
