Quick late notes, 9/30

Gotta write. Gotta be quick.

  • The DE from Ariton High, Craig Sanders, has committed to Auburn. He previously had been committed to Alabama.

  • Jeff Grimes said Andre Harris has not played this season, which goes against what Gene Chizik said earlier in the week. Apparently, the head coach confused two players.

  • Trooper Taylor said he expects Kodi Burns to play against Tennessee.

  • Chizik said QB Tyrik Rollison is making the trip to Knoxville. I don't interpret that as the kid has any chance of playing, but he will see Neyland Stadium from the sideline.

Tubs never stole a recruit that was commited to bama and Chizik does it in less than a year. I did not realize that.

Hey Kristina. You going to show up at Tiger walk this weekend?

I just got the LONGEST email in history from an Iowa guy. I wonder if it'll even fit here.

Tyrik going to Knoxvegas is probably only as a backup of the backup and to let him see an environment like that. Not many people get to see that many screaming hillbillies in one place.

As for whether PPL will play or not play, let me make this perfectly clear that Chizik wants to ensure it isn't clear who will or will not play and I am firmly committed to that position.

Head to Head, Iowa is better. Iowa in the Kirk Ferentz era has routinely been better than Penn State. You may argue that 2008 was a fluke, it was a last second upset, but there is no argument in saying 2009 was a fluke by winning on the road by 2 scores.

Iowa's is the only team this year to beat 3 BCS conf teams.
Iowa's opponent's record to date:12-4, all are 3-1, including Iowa State.
Penn State's opponent's record to date: 8-7, take out 4-0 Iowa, they are 4-7.
Iowa has the 11th rated hardest schedule according to Jeff Sagarin, Penn State has the 83rd toughest. Your Auburn Tigers, 104th hardest schedule(I agree with you that Auburn should be ranked) (Sagarin Rankings are found http://www.kiva.net/~jsagarin/sports/cfsend.htm)

I've backed up my opinion of why Iowa should be ranked. I'm not trying to be attacking, like I emailed initially, or think that Iowa is a top 10 team, I just want to know what is your rationale at why Penn State is better? I've also emailed others who voted Iowa higher than Penn State and lower than Penn State (and also Cal higher than Oregon) so I want you to feel that I am not targeting you.

Second question, if you were on PTI or some show and asked to defend it against someone who ranked Iowa higher, what would you say?

Finally - How do you feel about the Harris Poll Voters and Coaches Poll Voters having their ballots secretive? The computer polls are all available, as is the AP; do you as a AP voter think that the all the ballots should be public or private?

I look forward to your answers and again, thank you for taking the time to correspond back.

Maybe you should ask Chizik next time you talk to him.

There is a flaw in his logic. You were not voting on who would win if Penn State played Iowa. Next.

Back in 2000, J-Cam accompanied the team on all the road games and dressed even though he was always going to redshirt. It's all part of bringing them along.

Imagine if Jay G had ranked someone over Alabama that Alabama had beaten...

Or imagine later in the season if Alabama is close to a possible national title and if Jay G ranked someone above them.

It could get nasty in The Gump.

8:26 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Ah, I hadn't even considered the possibility of Jay G being biased because he has talked to Chizik, who is the former head coach of Iowa State. Admit it Jay. Chizik paid you off to keep Iowa out of the poll because..... ummm, someone help me here.

E-Bro,

I remember a lot of fans at the 2000 SEC championship game wanting to burn the redshirt and let him play instead of Leard after Lito Shephard intercepted him in the 1st quarter.

I'm sure most of those comments were out of frustration, but still.

You'll need help with that one, too.

The worst situation of a player being dressed out and not playing and angering people around me was the 2001 Peach Bowl when Carnell was dressed out but not playing.

When the people around me saw him in his jersey they went crazy as the game went on they were cussing Tub for not playing him.

lets look at the Alabama Super Senior 12

No. 12: Sam Gibson ath/QB, Prattville- LSU
No. 11: Kenneth Carter DL, Greenville- Auburn
No. 10: Jawara White LB, Charles Henderson- Auburn
No. 9: Solomon Patton R, Murphy- Florida
No. 8: Corey Grant, RB, Opelika- Alabama
No. 7: Jarrick Williams, S, Blount- Alabama
No. 6: Craig Sanders, DE/TE, Ariton- Auburn
No. 5 Jalston Fowler, RB, Vigor- Alabama
No. 4 C.J. Mosley, LB, Theodore- Uncommited
No. 3 Jeremy Richardson, R, Springville- Auburn
No. 2 LaDarius Owens, DE, Jess Lanier- Auburn
No. 1 DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Stanhope Elmore- Alabama

looks like Auburn is leading 5-4. Chizik and Co...NICE!

Here's another Iowan email.

Again, these are respectful people. Just ... a little preoccupied with a poll that is months from being important.

--------

If it isn't too much trouble I'd like you to explain your high ranking of PSU. In addition, your reference to corn on your blog in responding to an ugly comment from an Iowan doesn't really add credibility to your professionalism. I suspect if I wanted to I could come up with a plethora of stereotypes for Alabamians. Many would be noncomplimentary.

Admit it Jay G. You just ranked Iowa low to get traffic to the HABOTN.

You have no journalistic integrity, you just wanted website hits.

Lac was never going to play in the 2001 Peach Bowl. Not sure why they dressed him out except for gamesmanship. He didn't go through any practices. Besides, we had Chris Butler. Why worry? Wait, what?

As far as Jason in 2000. Good thing fans don't always get their way. Where would we have been in 2004 without him?

8:34 PM

I would say the best way to handle e-mail such as this to handle such situations. You can make up a form letter that says something like.

I am sorry for where I ranked (insert teams name here). It was a clerical error and we be corrected in the next pole. I do believe (insert teams name here) may be the best team in the country.

Feel free to use the paragraph above, but make sure you do NOT replace (insert teams name here) with anything. Let me know how that works for you.

Another Iowan:

Hey Jay,
I wanted to ask you.... what the hell are you thinking??!!! Iowa 11 spots behind Penn State? You clearly did not watch a nationally televised game.

You are an insult to the polls and to the players and in this case to Iowa.

Pathetic.

(They obviously don't realize that I cover Auburn full time and don't sit at home on Saturdays watching games on the couch.)

I just don't get it. If it were near the end of the season, I might understand, but to irritate a voter at this point in the season isn't exactly helping your team out.

My boss is a USC season ticket holder and he was pretty disappointed with how the game went.

Yea, I had expected USC to blow them out big time. A lot of it probably has to more be due to USC's offensive issues, though.
