Georgia fallout: Gene Chizik speaks
Hey everyone. Hope you're having a swell afternoon. It's sunny and unseasonably warm throughout Alabama today, so perhaps that has given you a chance to get out and feel good.
I'm sure last night may have elicited a headache or two.
Anyway, here's what your head coach had to say about things.

I'm sure last night may have elicited a headache or two.
Anyway, here's what your head coach had to say about things.
- On Auburn's run defense: We were really playing the run well. When Eltoro went out, that certainly didn't help our cause. That's not an excuse. For a good bit of that game, we were playing the run well. We've got to be able to sustain that through four quarters."
- On Freeman's health: ``I don't know. We'll have to play that one by ear."
- On why Auburn's running game wasn't very effective: ``A lot of it was execution on our part. They've got a really good front seven. They got off blocks as well as anybody we've played. We had our chances to hit some runs in there."
- On the play of freshman LB Jonathan Evans, who took over for Freeman: ``For getting being abruptly thrown in there, he did well. He came in there and did an adequate job."
- On the late-game penalties: ``It's very disappointing -- and they're by veteran guys. That's really, really disappointing. These are guys you're counting on to win ball games for you. You can't even pinpoint something on a game -- but in those critical situations, without questions, I think it's a lack of concentration and attention to detail."
- On why Demond Washington didn't return the final kickoff: ``At that point, Demond was pretty blown. He had about had it at that point."
- On if he knew Washington was that fast: ``I did know he was that fast. He's one of the fastest kids on the football team without question. We had to have a guy who could make a difference back there."
- On Auburn's plan this week: ``Our plan right now is to practice three days this week and try to give them a day and a half off until Sunday. They need tomorrow and Tuesday off. They need those two days to just regenerate, recharge their batteries. They'll be focused and ready to come back."
- On the need to get a full signing class next year: ``Strategically, we'll have to be right on. We've got a lot of scholarships to fill."
- On Auburn's immediate recruiting needs (ie who they're trying to enroll before spring ball): ``We know we need to get an offensive tackle. That's got to happen in January. It's got to be the perfect fit. Maybe two offensive linemen. If it's the right fit, we have no problem with (junior-college kids)."
- On the need to find more safeties: ``We've got a couple high-school guys in mind. We're pretty good with where we are right now at that position. We'll know more about how we'll proceed when we gather a little more information about the health of our guys here."

Booyah!
Let's see the outlook on the other side of the page.
All is right with the world!
Even after a prolonged absence and with only 1 eye, I can still pull it off.
Can't nobody, I mean NOBODY turn a page like Norm!
Hate Bama today. Hate Bama tomorrow. Hate Bama forever.
HATE via Knoxville.
You can just feel the hatred in the air here in Chattanooga with me and E-bro.
My UAT hatred is ever present. Always has been, always will be.
I love the season of HATE.
RK...word.
I'm done with Hate....i'm deflated.
FSJ - I loved it 2002-2008. This year? Not so much. But I'm hatin all the same!
Open letter to Coaches Chizik and Malzahn:
Gentlemen,
It is not necessary to put in a bunch of new trick plays. It is necessary to take the pistols away from the players that continue to shoot themselves and the team in the feet. You do this with repeated plays in practice you talk about but must not be doing. You go over technics on how not to hold, move before the ball is hiked, hold, jump offsides, hold, facemask, hold. Also hold onto the ball even as you go into the end zone. Repeat over and over how the QB looks across the field of play before throwing into double and triple coverage.
Thank you for a better season than any of us thought we could have. Now take a big step into winning this last game,
Respectfully yours,
diggerforAU
this guy was bringing the HATE in Athens:

FSJ, like feral swine, hate for UAT is always in season.
My dear chillun ...
Let's gather 'round and embrace our dear brother Eddie, who's doubting, depressed and downtrodden.
Let's give him some HOTTIE love, so his HATE can INFLATE, RESPIRATE, and INSPIRATE. With this HATE, we can DEVASTATE our foe.
With this HATE, we CONSECRATE the righteousness of our cause.
With this HATE, we CONGREGATE ourselves together in one spirit, one faith, and one victory.
With this HATE, we DEDICATE ourselves to the manifest destiny of a future in which the HOTTIES rule, the Indifels drool, and we rid ourselves of those Cousin Humpin' fools.
Y'all give Eddie some love, hear?
Look- I've Hated with the best the last two years and what do we have to show for it? NOT A THING! I'm done Hating till we win. I'll take it for the team if I have to. I don't hate bama, just want to beat them badly!!! Hate is not the answer.
Peace to all, Beat Bama!
Hmmm, maybe Eddie is a bammer.
nice sermon Brother.
sorry Eddie, but it's more fun to HATE. :) give it a few days.
Preach on Brother Jet!
Any good recruiting news this week? We need something to lift our spirits!
Eddie, the problem is you are too isolated. You have to be in the surrounded by houndstooth wearin', knuckle draggin', 'cruitin' champeenship t-shirt wearin', cousin humpin', bear worshipin', nick kissin', bammers to truly feel the spirit of hate dwell within you. I suggest a three day trip to the Gump to get the spirit of hate revived in you. Look for the Auburn Tent downtown for the Hate Revival led by Brother Jet. It's a three night event sure to inspire hate in all who attend.
Big recruiting news: Jan Terri has granted Auburn permission to use her likeness in any advertising capacity for recruiting purposes.
Good news doesn't get much better than that.
i literally lol'd to "nick kissin" and the Jan Terri annoucement.
