Demond Washington collects

Hey everyone. Your favorite return man has been named the SEC's Special Teams Player of the Week.

Here is the bulletin straight from SEC headquarters, though his hometown (Tallassee) has been shanked:

DEMOND WASHINGTON

Defensive Back/Return Specialist
5-9 • 185 • Junior
Tallassee, Fla. (HS/Miss. Gulf Coast CC)

• Washington accounted for a school record 202 kickoff return yards and 229 total return yards for Auburn in a 31-24 loss at Georgia.

• Following a Georgia TD early in the fourth quarter, Washington returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown to tie the score at 24-24. The return was the sixth longest in school history.

• The 202 kickoff return yards and the 229 total return yards were both the fourth most in SEC single-game history.

• His 40.4 kickoff return average (5 KOR) is the second-best in SEC history for a single game (min. 4 returns).

FSJ...I think 93-97 was a second golden age in general for the Iron Bowl. All really good games that just about went the distance.

12:00 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

I knew someone would come thru in Norm's absence.

12:00 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

Yeah E-Bro...

I was at all of those except the 97 game.

They were all great. Stallings about cost us the 94 game by shutting Homer Smith's offense down after we went up 21-0.

I've seen two golden ages for IB:
1954-58 and 2002-2007.

12:02 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

The Golden Age was 1970, 72, 82-83, 96-89, 93, 95, 97, 2000, 2002-07, and on this issue, as Norm would quote Poppy, there cana be no debate.

12:03 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Jet - of course there's room for debate. How on earth can you leave out Connie Frederick's run in 69? Talk about golden!!!

12:04 PM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

Does 1972 count as a Golden Age?

did you see me shooting tiger walk video up on the train tracks? Hope I didn't almost knock you over.


PF, I didn't see anyone up there with a video camera.

i agree with THT's golden ages of the Iron Bowl.

thus, it shall be.

Jet and Tar Heel, your comments about Trott, Ziemba, McCain and the bus were hysterical!

12:10 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

I still have anger issues over the 1994 game and the ref's spot on Sanders catch for a first down that got moved back a yard.

12:14 PM

There has been 28 great Iron Bowls 38 yuck, sorry Iron Bowls and 1 pffffftttt.

12:15 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

E-Bro - golden or not, Dec 2, 1972, counts as one of the top 10 best days of my life, even though I wasn't there to see it.

12:15 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

WERK - I can't honestly recall an IB where ref calls played a big part in us winning. But I know of several where ref calls played a huge role in UA-T winning.

FSJ - what's your take on this, seeing as how you aren't handicapped by my orange shades?

12:17 PM  
Blogger digger4au said...

I wasn't there either THT and it wasn't on TV but I have watched the replay many many times and still ge a thrill every time I watch it.

12:19 PM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

THT...had I been of this world then, I'm sure it would have been the same with me.

1989 didn't suck, either.

12:19 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

that's in the Top 10, too.

12:20 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

ok, fine. Like Michael and his zero tolerance policy for idiots, I haven't really ranked the "Top 10 days of my life." But if I did, '72 and '89 Iron Bowls would probably be there. I know '72 would, just for the unexplained knowledge of waking up that morning with 100% certainty that AU was going to win.

12:23 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

does anyone doubt that UA-T's defense will combine with Mark Ingram to make Ben Tate look like a complete fool for what he said last week?

12:25 PM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

THT...I cringed pretty badly as soon as I read that from Ben during the game on Saturday.

I just thought to myself, there goes the rest of Ben's season. No reason for him to say that, especially since we weren't even playing Bama.

Still, he's had a great year. Maybe he can conjure up something special next week.

12:28 PM  
Blogger michael said...

THT, I am pretty sure Tate will run amok over Alabama's D. Don't worry about it.

12:29 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Who expected us to lose in 1989?

For cryin' out loud, Bill Curry was on the other sideline.

Sheesh.

12:29 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I was only 98% certain about the '89 Iron Bowl.

12:31 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

I LOVE BILL CURRY.

12:31 PM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

FSJ...who's frowned upon more, Ears Whitworth or Bill Curry?

12:33 PM  
Blogger digger4au said...

Bill Curry was not a bad coach.....

now if you had said Ears Whitworth I would have to agree...that may be before your time.

12:33 PM

Ben needs to hurry and take the OL to the steak house for that dinner .....he's gonna need their best effort.

Nevah ..nevah ..nevah provide IB bulletin board material for Bama.

12:33 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Bobby Ross and Gene Stallings won MNC's with Curry's players.

Curry never won enough with Curry's players.

12:36 PM  
Blogger digger4au said...

As a senior Ben should know better.

You never ever give Bammer bulletin Board material. Not even when they are suppose to win by 100 gazillion points.

Is Mark Richt a modern day Bill Curry?

12:37 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Did Bill Curry raise a dormant program out of the ashes into respectability?

12:44 PM  
Blogger digger4au said...

Bill Curry did not fare as well at Ga. Teck or Kentucky

But at Ala he went
1987 7-5
1988 9-3
1989 10-22
FIRED 0 wins against Auburn
I think we would be happy with that record with Gene except for 0 wins agaisnt Bama.

12:44 PM  
Blogger digger4au said...

10 -2 don't know how that happened

12:45 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Bill Curry = 6 winning seasons in 17 seasons as a head coach.

Three of them at UAT where Michael and three of goats could have done the same.

A nice man. A bad coach.

12:46 PM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

Mark Richt...a nice man AND a good coach. Maybe not a great coach, but a good coach.

12:50 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Me and three of my goats would actually make a pretty good coaching staff... as long as you let me pick the three. Jeppy, Stromfellows, and Sergeant Jasper would be my picks. If you stick Buckle-thweet on the staff though, we might be in some trouble.

12:51 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Michael,

Can I get a Stromfellows Towel?

12:53 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Stormfellows probably ate all the towels

12:55 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

MJT, can any of your goats play linebacker or DB? I'd like to see some horn-to-helmet tackles a week from Friday. I'll bet they could also do some damage in the pile.

1:00 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

ok, I'm heading out to try my new expen$ive tooth on a Sutton's Drug Store bacon cheeseburger and fries. To be washed down with a fountain diet cherry coke.

WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!

GO TIGERS!!!

THT..

The 95 game hinged on the refs ruling Curtis Brown out of bounds at the end.

1:06 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

E-Bro...

Curry by folks of my generation..

I'll never forget losing to Ole Miss on homecoming in 1988 and not completing a single pass.

1:07 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

Also the 1982 game hinged on Castille being called for interference on a pass interception which led to Bo over the top I believe.

1:08 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

THT...

I finally read Ben's comments. Like E-Bro, I was a bit surprised because there was no reason to go there.

1:10 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

FSJ ...

Fat Freddie should have thrown the ball a half-second earlier, and Jeremiah shouldn't have interfered.

Wonder how those calls would go in 2009?

Ha.

1:10 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

Well Jet..I'd take my chances with instant replay on the 1995 one.

As for Castille...idk if it was interference or not but he made a helluva play to intercept the pass.

After all the crap you spewed ebery time someone would mention calls from the LSU/Bama game, you're gonna pull something out like that years after the fact and say that game depended on one call?

1:26 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

Uh Peter...

The guy caught the ball with seconds left in the game. Had he been ruled in bounds Alabama wins.

Pretty simple to say the game hinged on that call, IMO.

1:32 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

And for the record I was answering a direct question from THT.

Lighten up.

Bama has never lost an Iron Bowl.

Don't you know that by now?

Exactly Mr. Sensible..

Time just ran out.

1:44 PM  
Blogger digger4au said...

I take it Curry's record at Bama would not be satisfactory for Cizik at Auburn because of Curry's record elswhere. Chizik better start looking for emploment elsewhere looking at his record before coming to Auburn.

2:16 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

digger,

Curry's propensity to blow some games at Alabama (Ole Miss, Memphis) combined with his inability to beat Auburn did him in.

The fact that he was an arrogant jerk that liked to talk about doing things the right way (i.e. academics) but looked the other way was only one more strike against him.
