Schedule update

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of posts here lately. I spent some time with the eye doctor on Monday, changed my eyeglass prescription and it took some time to see well sans headache.

I'm better now. Thanks for asking.

Auburn practices today beginning at 1:50 p.m. I'll be there. The best news for you? The first 30 minutes (allegedly) are open to Le Media, so you (allegedly) can expect a video around 3 p.m. That should be fun.

ALSO OF NOTE: Several unsigned prospects will be making significant announcements today. DL Craig Sanders and LB Jessel Curry are expectted to announce plans to enroll at Auburn in January. A few important junior-college players will make decisions today as well.

UPDATE ONE: Our friends at AuburnSports.com report that Craig Sanders, a DL from Ariton High, has signed with the Tigers. He'll enroll in January.

See you then.

I hope we can land those JUCO linemen.... it will make recruiting Lache and Latt a little easier if they know they have some mules upfront...; 7:52 AM

cincytiger said...: Good morning, hotties!! I have missed you. Been trying to read and keep up. I have been slammed with another terrible cold! I am never sick and this is the third cold I have had this fall. Getting tired of it, but finally coming back to the land of the living.

wrc,
I'm glad you don't keep up with recruiting.; 8:01 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Mosley is as good as signed.; 8:04 AM

Wakeriderof87 said...: I'm going to be out driving all day and won't be able to keep up with the recruiting news on here... Not Cool.; 8:11 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I can yell the information if you prefer.; 8:13 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Smoke signals also available; 8:13 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: If hottie A leaves their destination at 6:00am, traveling 60 miles per hour, and Bammer B causes a massive pileup, how long will it take Hottie A to get to work?; 8:14 AM
cincytiger said...: Jay,
LOVE the new videos btw; 8:14 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: wake, your phone doesn't have the interconnects? You're practically Amish.; 8:16 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: HABOTN smoke signals? sweet homes.

sorry to hear that Cincy. hope you feel better.

and PF....hahahaha. sorry bubba.; 8:20 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Speaking of Bammers in Miami, I had no idea there were any until they won the SECCG. Since then, I've seen no less than 2 cars per day flying dark pink flags. I know, I know. You people in Alabama deal with this every day of the year, but I'm not used to it.; 8:25 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JayGT - re: Mosley, are you talking Brandon?

I'm very happy to hear you are sans headaches. You sure it was the glasses and not all your HABOTN children?; 8:27 AM
Fearless Freep said...: Practically Amish - sounds like a great name for an Emo band.; 8:27 AM
j-z said...: HABOTN smoke signals, huh? Send some of those my way.; 8:27 AM
ehyou said...: So I been living in this cabin on Lake Eufaula for the past month (my family's not moving until after the holidays). No cable, no internet. I was rummaging around last night and what did I find on VHS?

'87 Iron Bowl
'89 Iron Bowl
'90 vs FSU

Score!!; 8:28 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Freep: You are right!; 8:28 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: From Mario Lopez, writer for CalSportsDigest.com...

It all comes down to this. College of the Sequoias (Visalia, Ca) offensive tackle Roszell Gayden will make his college decision today at 4 p.m. PT. The 6-foot-7, 310-pound road grader will sign with either Auburn, California or Oklahoma.; 8:29 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Sensi, what the heck is that goob doing in your avatar? He appears to be air fishing.; 8:29 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Cincy: Glad you like them. It's easier for me this way ... so it's a win-win.; 8:29 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Yes the smoke signals sound wonderful thanks.

And its apparent I am getting old everytime I see a smart phone. I say things like "new fangled" and "damn techno-gadgets"; 8:30 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm so old. I had to go to wiki to learn about "emo bands".; 8:32 AM
Norm said...: THT - apparently I need to research it too. I thought it had to do with that horrible comedian with that same name.; 8:37 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Have you ever seen a poor little boy who's clothes don't fit crying? Then you know emo.; 8:41 AM
Norm said...: Nope. Sorry.

I've seen my soon to be 3 y/o future 4* crying because he doesn't want to get dressed, or for a variety of other reasons. Does that count?; 8:44 AM
WarEagleRK said...: So AC Slater is a sportswriter, makes sense as he was a top notch wrestler at Bayside.; 8:47 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: The future 4* is an emo kid? If he starts wearing black eye liner, spank him...that'll probably cause him to rebel further, but at least you won't feel like there's more you could've done to prevent it.; 8:48 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: E-Bro said " We need to start the season a week earlier or end it a week later and make sure these guys two off weeks during the season, not just one."

That's going to be a problem, E-Bro. When NCAA expanded season to 12 games a few years ago, they did not expand the number of weeks allowed to play those games. The same rules for when a season starts/finishes apply for 12 game season as for 11 game season. At least, that's what I recall reading once upon a time. All teams in conferences with a championship game lose a potential bye week.; 8:49 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Emo: Fall Out Boy.; 8:53 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Buffalo figured out the rest issue. Finish the season with games played Saturday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. Days between games: 10, 7, 8, 9...; 8:54 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Jay G, you may have announced, but who'd you vote for for COY?; 8:54 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I didn't vote for national COY.

I guess I forgot. It would have been Brian Kelly.; 8:59 AM
Norm said...: Fall Out Boy = just another group which Norm is not familiar with.; 9:02 AM
BinOBA said...: Yeah, lets extend the season, but don't bring up playoffs, and the fact division 2 is going from 12 teams to 20 teams for their playoff. Don't mention Mal Moore being scared to death of teams after bye weeks either, i guess he will want ours the first week of the year instead of before bama. I guess nobody will get to play bama after bye week now.; 9:21 AM
FSJ said...: Good Morning!; 9:22 AM
FSJ said...: Bin:

Scared of teams after a bye week? If that were the case we would have not shown up to a bunch of games this year.; 9:22 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: FSJ,

You've won 13 games and your AD is complaining about his tough schedule. Bless his heart.; 9:27 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ...and how would fear = not showing up?

Who was it that said they play every game with fear and thrive off of it?; 9:29 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: speaking of obscure bands, does anyone else like the Baton Rouge band, Potliquor? They predate Practically Amish and other emo bands.; 9:35 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: B-Matt reports that Craig Sanders, DL from Ariton, has signed with Auburn.; 9:40 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: wtc definitely has a Dungeons Masters Guide (as mentioned in a song sung by Rivers Cuomo).; 9:42 AM
Jet said...: I understand that Coach Chiz was waiting on Gayden when he returned from his visit to Cal.

Gayden, Moseley, and Adams are AU bound!; 9:43 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Yea! Last year I was hoping we could sign Sanders, then in the spring he committed to that other school and I was very disappointed. Today is a most happy occasion.

Thanks for keeping me informed, Recruiting Sleuth Tate.; 9:45 AM
Jet said...: Mr. S peeks out his head like a turtle, which is apropos since he has a fat little turtle for an avatar.; 9:45 AM
BinOBA said...: MY whole thing with this is how can you complain about it. Ya gotta play someone after your bye week. Our bye being earlier might have won us another game. It seems pretty slap fight like to me to complain about this. I guess we need to move the IB back to B'ham, too. Gino Toretta and Rashaad Salaam called.....; 9:49 AM
BinOBA said...: Jason White, too.......; 9:50 AM
wtc said...: A quick story on C Sanders.
When AU coaches made the now famous limo ride around the state, they stopped at his school and made a big pslash in the paper. Of course the local call-in show in Montgomery was doggin' the limo thing, and I think two days later Snaders commits to UA. Longshore ripped AU coaches for the pitiful showing of the limo ride and how lame it was, etc. (Didn't get any recruits, this is childish, I wouldn't be impressed by it, etc.)

I haven't listened in about 3 motnhs, but I would guess he hasn't brought that up again. I am not saying it worked, but I would not expect him to give it any credit for working in AU's favor.; 9:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: so Big Ten+1 may expand to a dozen.

ESPN's Big Ten blogger "Here's my realistic list of Big Ten expansion possibilities:

Missouri
Syracuse
Pittsburgh
Nebraska
Rutgers
______________

ok, he's smoking something funny. Why on earth would Missouri or Nebraska want to leave the Big 12 for a crappy conference?
Pittsburgh seems the best option from both sides of the equation. But Big 10's yearning for east coast presence may help Rutgers or Syracuse. Either of those would weaken the conference.; 10:08 AM
digger4au said...: Ole Dogs Big Ten candidates in order:
Notre DAme
Pitt
Syracuse
TCU; 10:12 AM
E-Bro said...: Just shows the Big Ten's detachment from reality of they think they can get Missouri and Nebraska, though maybe those teams feel it will be easier to get to a BCS Bowl in the Big (not) Ten. Probably right.

Still, I don't see anyway that happens.; 10:14 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: anybody think Kentucky would consider jumping to the Big Ten+1?

I bet WVa would love an invite. HA! Ain't gonna happen.

tOSU will blackball Cincinnati.

Maybe Louisville?; 10:16 AM
Unknown said...: If Brandon Mosley signs with Auburn, that is huge. He was the least likely of the five early signings I thought we were going after. I had read that FSU and Ole Nutt were ahead of us.

Curry and Sanders were considered locks. Gayden was likely. Adams was possible. Mosley is the one I didn't think we would get. I hope this news is true.; 10:21 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: E-Bro - that was a list of Adam Rittenberg, an ESPN Big Ten blogger, not from the conference.

Digger, ND wants no part of the Big Ten.

TCU would jump at the opportunity, but I think Big Ten will be motivated by vanity, i.e. they want everyone to see them. So, I think they'll look in the general direction of NYC. I hope I'm wrong and that they use logic and good sense in their choice.; 10:22 AM
Anonymous said...: If I read correctly, the ESPN blogger is projecting Missou or Neb to go to the Big10, not the Big 10 projecting such. As usual, it is an ESPN guy that is under presssure to say "something/anything" that has put out delusional.

Momma says: "talk long enough and you will eventually say stoopid stuff".; 10:24 AM
Unknown said...: Notre Dame already competes in the Big 10 in basketball if I am not mistaken, but I think they will still be a no go in terms of football.

I have read about Kentucky being a possibility, but I don't really see it. Kentucky could do themselves a bigger favor and join the Big East. Let Georgia Tech back into the SEC and that would work very well for me.

I have heard the Missouri and Nebraska talk, as well as Iowa State. Iowa State might make more sense here, but Nebraska would be huge.; 10:29 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ND is in Big East; 10:31 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Iowa State would make a lot of sense, but I seriously doubt the Big Ten+1 wants them.; 10:33 AM
Anonymous said...: I think that Gayden is very important, wish we could get 2 Juco OL in Jan.

Watching Curry in the GHSA AA CG, he is a smart, savvy ballplayer with excellent fundamentals. He will probably need spend a year or 2 bulking up enuff to contribute at MLB, similar to how Bynes does now. I don't think he is fast enough to play on the outside in the SEC. Of course our LB depth issues may cause him to be on the field next season, especially on special teams.

Regardless of all that...getting him in Jan. to count as a 2009 recruit is awesome.; 10:34 AM
Anonymous said...: I prefer Ky in the SEC. it gives us more basketball cred and their location is not a recruiting threat.

A successful GT in the SEC would compete against AU much more for recruits than now.; 10:38 AM
Unknown said...: The Big 10 just wants to get to 12 so they can have a championship game, so Iowa State is a possibility, but adding Nebraska would definitely be the shocker. Adding Pitt would make a lot of sense too.; 10:38 AM
Unknown said...: I would love GT in the SEC, and yes it would be more competition. The ACC swapping GT for Kentucky wouldn't be bad either. The ACC with Kentucky basketball would be pretty awesome.; 10:40 AM
E-Bro said...: I realized it was the Big Ten Blogger's wishlist and no the Big Ten's, but let's face it, he's basically an extension of the Big Ten. Just like Low is a homer for the SEC, I'm sure this guy is a bit of a homer for the Big Ten.

When I said the Big Ten was delusional, I meant the Big Ten in general, its fans and media included.; 10:41 AM
Anonymous said...: I guess the Big 10+1 wants to position for a conference playoff. I can see ND or maybe Pitt. Anyone else would just be a filler team to get to 12.

Would this conference then be named the "Big-12-Too"?; 10:43 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Why would Kentucky leave SEC money for Big East money? That's just crazy talk. Besides, the SEC would find a way to keep them for basketball.; 10:44 AM
Anonymous said...: Playing GT regularly again would be great.; 10:44 AM
Anonymous said...: PF ..agreed ...the Ky fans I know relish the fact that they regularly own SEC BBall. Their newfound FB success is OK also.

I would expect a an earthquake in the Bluegrass if theis was seriously considered.; 10:48 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Hoopie - I think they would be the Lesser XII Conference.

E-Bro - those yanks are all delusional, and not just about their football.; 10:48 AM
KJtiger said...: I think Pitt or Cincy would make a good addition. Although ND would be the logical choice.; 10:54 AM
CHB said...: I was reading yesterday that Mosley dropped AU...G- why do you think he has all but signed? I would like to get rid of Arkansas and get ND to join the SEC so we could put them in their place.; 10:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Galloping Ghost; 11:09 AM
digger4au said...: I know Notre Dame is not interested in joining the Little 11 but it would make sense for them to. They do not want to lose their lucrative contract with NBC. Plus they can continue to play U of Lollipop and get a pass for doing so.; 11:11 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I'm gonna start writing random stuff on the HABOTN so I can come back later and say "I read that..."; 11:11 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: by the way, I read that Kentucky was an option for the Big East.

I think South Florida will be the next SEC team.; 11:12 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I read that "South Florida will be the next SEC team."; 11:13 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: caccamo; 11:13 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: is Michael on vacation?; 11:13 AM
digger4au said...: I read somewhere, can't remember where that south Flaorida is going to be the next SEC member? Any one else see this and does it have legs.; 11:14 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Italian Vacation?; 11:14 AM
E-Bro said...: PF...the next step is to start referring to yourself in the third person.; 11:14 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Remove Arkansas from the SEC, they don't fit in anyway and add Georgia Tech or Louisville.; 11:16 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Peter Frankenschmidt is a badass, as opposed to an asshat, like SteveFC.; 11:16 AM
WarEagleRK said...: The third person thing would be great.

Also, put the article "The" in front of your name when referring to yourself.; 11:16 AM
digger4au said...: mickael is tending goats in three feet of snow and would like for a hottie to send him some Hot Choccolate.; 11:16 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 11:17 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: The Frankenbummer read that he is a badass.

^ how's that?; 11:18 AM
digger4au said...: Who is this comment deleted guy he/she has no substance to report; 11:18 AM
WarEagleRK said...: That works.; 11:18 AM
digger4au said...: Is it plagiarism if you repeat your own lies?; 11:22 AM
Norm said...: dig - If you cite your source properly, I think you're alright.; 11:23 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: someone titled a blog post "Frankenbummer" in 2006. I don't know why, and the blog doesn't explain it. I thought Michael or Jay G was the author of that term. Hmmm.; 11:25 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: A hottie citing a source? Hahahaha. The Hot One is required to do that. His example is largely ignored.; 11:26 AM
digger4au said...: Norm I will remember to do that.; 11:27 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Most of my sources are just my imagination running away with me.

So should I always site The Temptations or maybe the cover version that the Rolling Stones did of that song?; 11:29 AM
digger4au said...: Temptations should be avoided unless you know like Tiger that you will never be caught.; 11:31 AM
Norm said...: Coach $atan is quite ill. It's serious. How do I know? My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw him pass out at 31 Flavors last night.; 11:34 AM
E-Bro said...: Reuters and AP still waiting for confirmation.; 11:37 AM
mytommyd said...: I heard somewhere Saban can't coach the BCSCG cause he's sick. I'm sure it must be something he needs treatments for.; 11:41 AM
digger4au said...: Is it too early?

YES but here it is

http://www.nationalchamps.net/2010/earlybird/index.htm; 11:43 AM
E-Bro said...: It's never too early. I'll be gutted if we don't win in Tampa, but I'm already in a 2010 frame of mind.; 11:45 AM
IV said...: Jay,

Glad to hear that you are taking care of your eyesight. Good vision is a blessing, something I can assure you that I don't take for granted since I have type II diabetes. I am scheduled for my eye exam soon also and believe me, I will be there hoping for a good report. Continue to take care of yourself.

IV; 12:02 PM
mytommyd said...: I had to take a look at some of the results from the early pick. And ya know for the most part the teams that they have put in the top 10 end up in the BCSCG and occasionally the teams listed as 1 and 2 in the AP actually make it to the end (04 and 05 most recently). But doing a quick glance, about 50% of the teams they list in their top 10 are not there by seasons end.; 12:07 PM
Jimmy said...: Mosley

http://auburn.scout.com/a.z?s=6&p=2&c=929668&ssf=1&RequestedURL=http%3a%2f%2fauburn.scout.com%2f2%2f929668.html; 12:11 PM
Norm said...: I like the headline there, but I can't read the article.; 12:13 PM
Jimmy said...: Juco Standout Mosley Signs With Auburn; 12:14 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: so that's three signed today?

Who are these people? Why should I be excited about them? Are they gonna pull hot tail?; 12:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: we could really benefit from a Mosley Hat Trick in this signing class. Come on, C.J.!!!; 12:23 PM
IV said...: Cincy,

I am running a bit late today with my posts, but I am really glad that you are better. I sure wished that you were going to the OB Bowl, I would love to meet you. Any chance it may happen?; 12:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Brandon Mosley, most recent signee, is from Georgia, by way of CoffeyvilleCC in Kansas. He prefers playing TE, but mostly played DE in JUCO. I've read on some AU blog somewhere that he's likely an OL project for AU. So, who knows. We just signed a DE or TE or OL. Take your pick.; 12:26 PM
mytommyd said...: either way,its a good signing, right THT?; 12:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ...and I've still got up to 5 tickets for Cincy if she figures out a way to go.

btw, IV, you'll be sitting directly behind 2.0.; 12:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Can't answer that for at least another year, mytommyd.; 12:31 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Is the answer
B,
C,
D, or
E (all of the above)

E!!! We want Brandon, CJ, and Dakota in Auburn!!!; 12:34 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Just reported that Gayden will be an Auburn Tiger!!! That's huge!; 12:35 PM
IV said...: THT,

Do you think I can handle that? The picture you sent of the tickets show that I am getting show seats 2, 3 & 4, of course I have to sit in 4, where else would IV sit? I have a feeling that my senior, Digger, is sitting in seat 1 on the same row the IV threesome will be sitting. I have tried and tried to get Mrs. IV to go along, but to no avail. That would have relieved you of one of the five you have left. It is not to late yet to get her to go. We will see.; 12:36 PM
mytommyd said...: Our coaches are setting a standard that's going to have an effect and hopefully will continue for many years to come. I really like the way they are working.; 12:37 PM
IV said...: Lunch time. Out for awhile. Carry on.; 12:38 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: So for all those that were worried about our O-line recruiting....guess that answered that. Nice job Chizik and Company!!!

This OL class will be rated close to best in the nation in the recruiting rankings when it is said and done.; 12:41 PM
E-Bro said...: Nap time already Eddie?; 12:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: reported where, Eddie?

I was thinking that since JAYGTATE has been scarce since early this a.m., he must be on his way to California to live blog Gayden's signing event. I can't wait ;-); 12:43 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Nap time is about to end for Abby and then we are off to the Studios.; 12:43 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: THT- It's on Rivals. Gayden is faxing in his papers now.; 12:44 PM
McLovin said...: Gayden, Mosley, Curry, and Sanders all in. So who will be the 5th? Adams; 12:45 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I thought Gayden wasn't signing until 6pm?; 12:45 PM
E-Bro said...: Have fun bro.; 12:45 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Forgive my ignorance on January enrollees, but is 5 the limit?; 12:46 PM
Jet said...: Christmas covered-dish at the office ...

Honey baked ham
Turkey
dressing
green bean casserole
sweet potato casserole
mac/cheese
corn casserole
butter beans
creamed corn
squash casserole
collards
pineapple casserole
homemade roll

And that was before I hit the dessert table.; 12:46 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: That's what I thought, too, PF.

JAYGTATE is going to be really steamed iwhen he gets out to California to live blog Gayden's signing and he finds out the party is over.

Btw, how do I know JGT is gone to California to live blog it for us? I read it somewhere.; 12:48 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Peter- That was the story originally, but he went ahead and sent it in according to his Coach. I'm not sure on the number of people you can sign in December, but I believe it is in accordance to how many scholarships you have used from the class that you signed in February and along with the 85 max. I think this staff is only going after the number of quality players it think can make this team a contender. I believe they could sign more than 5, but WTC would have to confirm that. I'm not 100% sure.; 12:50 PM
Jet said...: What's everybody's limit on schnitzengruber?; 12:50 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: One and done Jet.; 12:52 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Off to the parks. Catch you all later!; 12:53 PM
CHB said...: Early grads can enroll and count back one recruiting class. The number depends on how many players under the 25 class limit a team is. In Auburn's case I think we had 20 enroll this past year. So that is why the coaches are trying to get 5. Of course you still have to make sure you don't go over the 85 limit which in Auburn's case is no problem..thanks former coach that I can not name.; 12:54 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: You think the dude in the Auburn sweatshirt there to support of oppose the Scientology resort in Sandy Springs?; 1:03 PM
Norm said...: It's twue, it's twue.; 1:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: if we bring in 5 towards last year, and 25 for '10, that's close to 50 right there for '09 and '10. That leaves only 35 for the '07, '08, and '06 (redshirt) classes.

Who likes to crunch numbers? Tell us whether or not we'll have to jettison some current scholarship players if we do add 5 to the '09 class and a full 25 in the '10 signing class.; 1:06 PM
Unknown said...: I can't believe we got Mosley. I just read the other day where we were third behind FSU and Ole Nutt. This is very impressive. All of these early signings are players that can contribute. I like Sanders and his 400 pound bench press. He is a monster.; 1:07 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Frankenbummer just read today that he is awesome. Awesomeness really helps in life.; 1:09 PM
Unknown said...: Last year's class and the year before lost some due to Chizik kicking them off the team. We only brought in 19 or 20 last year and not all of them are still around. I do think we could be easily over 80 here, which would get us back into the normal range. I am very excited. I am convinced that most of our decline in defense was due to some players playing every snap. I am looking forward to seeing a lot of new blood on the field. Several of the incoming linebackers will play immediately.; 1:12 PM
chip chip said...: scout has reported juco te/ol brandon mosley has signed with AU.; 1:15 PM
Unknown said...: It is on rivals too. We got Mosley. Very impressive.; 1:18 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I am convinced that most of our decline in defense was due to some players playing every snap.

Convinced, huh?; 1:20 PM
digger4au said...: I would like to give credit to the right person but don't know who was first.
But I understand that Mosely is signing with Auburn
Please take the claim if you think it is you.; 1:21 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I just read that they are taking the Heisman away from Ingram, details to come out shortly.; 1:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: They are taking the Heisman from Ingram, more to come.; 1:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Oh, I did that out of order didn't I PF?; 1:26 PM
Unknown said...: For the less educated.

Convinced - to bring (as by argument) to belief, consent, or a course of action : persuade; 1:26 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: What are you insinuating there?; 1:27 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I get confused sometimes...I was working on the new PF rule, but geez I got it backwards.; 1:28 PM
Unknown said...: digger, I said as recently as last night that Mosley was going to FSU or Ole Nutt. I am shocked by that one. Of the five I thought we were trying to sign, I thought him the least likely, with Adams a little more likely. Curry and Sanders were most likely. Gayden is someone I felt pretty good about, too.; 1:28 PM
Miller said...: AU has received signed papers from Sanders, Curry, Brandon Mosely, and Roszell Gayden today.
Ken Adams has supposedly delayed his decision.

Picking up Gayden is a huge pickup! Look for Brandon Mosley to redshirt and Gayden is probably the front runner for the starting RT gig.; 1:28 PM
Jet said...: SteveFC and Peter Frankenschmidt will meet at the monkey bars after school today to address a "significant difference of opinion," sources are telling TMZ.com; 1:29 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I'm convinced that three hours is too long for a conference call, even if I am working from home.; 1:29 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: So there was an argument otherwise, asshat? C'mon, you're convinced, like that's some groundbreaking thing that came to you after much thought and cosideration? Educate me on the process you took to get there.; 1:29 PM
Unknown said...: Has anyone heard that Adams may not sign due to grades? I saw a comment about that from a very unreliable source.; 1:30 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I read that PF and SteveFC are going to rumble later today, pass it along.; 1:30 PM
Unknown said...: PF, educating you would be like trying to teach a rock to speak. No thanks.; 1:30 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Harry Adams?; 1:31 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Gomez Adams?; 1:31 PM

Throwdown on the Playground

SteveFC vs. PF

This time, it's for real!

3:30 p.m.; 1:31 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I prefer the flagpole area...and for the record, I was just ballbusting until someone decided to become an educator.; 1:34 PM
Unknown said...: That would be Ken Adams, the Auburn signee who didn't qualify and committed to UT. Supposedly we had a shot with him but I have read where he may have grade issues that would prevent him from signing early.

As for Harry Adams, I would color him gone.; 1:35 PM
Jet said...: PF prefers flagpoles, CNN reports.; 1:35 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Dude, my rocks talk all kind of smack. It's awesome. I'm a genius.; 1:35 PM
Unknown said...: VolQuest is reporting Ken Adams torn between Auburn, Tennessee, and North Carolina and that he will not sign today. If he doesn't sign early, I think we pass on him.; 1:38 PM
WarEagleRK said...: PF and his love of flagpoles will be the subject of a BBC documentary.; 1:40 PM
Unknown said...: Is anyone else aware of another early signee we are pursuing besides Curry, Gayden, Sanders, Mosley, and Adams?; 1:40 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Leon Hart and Lee Tilley.; 1:42 PM
Unknown said...: Leon Hart's elligibility is over. Tilley I don't know about.; 1:43 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Frankenbummer read somewhere that the BBC is coming to America for something about flagpoles....don't let them take our flags!; 1:43 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We signed both of them too early, I think they are ready now.; 1:43 PM
Unknown said...: How about Greg Smith? A long time back I read where he thought he would play the first game after he arrived on campus. He is suppose to be a good one.; 1:45 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Greg Smith is another good choice, but I'm not sure how well he did at Chattanooga State other than he is over drawn on his cafeteria card.; 1:47 PM
Unknown said...: JaMarcus Russell? Has he got off the sweet leaf yet?

Trey Blackmon? The greatest linebacker for about 3 games Auburn has ever had.

It just goes to show you that until they actually do something, there is no telling.

Clint Moseley may end up being the biggest surprise of all. Both Trooper and Malzahn seem high on him. If I remember correctly, he came from a very small school, so he is going to be very interesting.; 1:52 PM
Unknown said...: What was the name of that offensive linemen we got from FSU? Was it Aubrey Phillips? What happened with him?; 1:54 PM
Norm said...: Ken Adams? I wonder if that's the same Ken Adams I went to high school with in days of yore. I'll ask him and report back to you.; 1:54 PM
Miller said...: There are a couple of guys Auburn would love to have that would be early enrollees, but they are currently committed to other schools. Not sure if they have sent in papers yet or not.
Interesting theory being tossed about that Adams is waiting on what Auburn wants to do before signing, ratherthan AU waiting on Adams. (meaning, do they want one of the other guys or Adams)
The names that come to mind are Lawrence Gibson (prep OL from Hargrave) and Bruce Irvin (JuCo LB). Dequan Menzie (JuCo DB) might still be on the radar, but doubtful.; 1:55 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks D Miller.

By the way, for those of you concerned about the economy, things appear to be getting better. The company I work for announced a surprise bonus for the end of the year and we are actually getting raises in 2010, which is new. Hopefully this means things are getting better everywhere.; 1:58 PM
wtc said...: FYI-AU would really like to sign Ken Adams. He took his last class/exam the other day. No details yet as to whether he passed. If not, AU will not wait on him. The reason AU was slow to warm to him earlier was his grade situation (from what I have heard). He supposedley is delaying his announcement to see whether he is a December grad or not. Would not be good to announce you are coming to AU and then not graduate in Dec and have AU not want you any longer.; 1:58 PM
wtc said...: Dmiller-I think Irvin is now a fall back plan if Adams is out of the picture. Not 100% sure, but AU wants Adams if he graduates. I was told today, AU will not wait very long though.; 2:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Norm - does he still have eligibility?; 2:01 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks wtc. I had read that somewhere, but I didn't consider it credible.; 2:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 1+BEASLEY!!!; 2:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: rats! I type too slowly.; 2:01 PM
Miller said...: Very true. I think AU gives Adams some leeway, but they can't afford to wait on him forever. They need to fill that 5th spot.; 2:02 PM
Norm said...: THT - probably so, since to the best of my recollection he never played football. But, maybe he's a phenom/natural athlete even if he is nearing 50.; 2:04 PM
Unknown said...: You remind me of the kid a while back that announced he was going to sign with a school that never made him an offer.; 2:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Norm, I await in awe of your awesome page flipping awesomenosity.; 2:07 PM
wtc said...: For those that do not know, Gayden is a BIG guy (6'7" 310lbs) that has played for 2 years in JUCO. He should be one of the starting tackles next year. His last visit was to Cal on 12/11/09 and when he returned home, Chizik had already flown out to Cali to visit him when he returned. AU really wanted this kid. They got him. These coaches know what they want and have worked hard to get it. Just thinking how many ex coaches would have done that?; 2:08 PM
Norm said...: Let's flip it baby; 2:09 PM
Norm said...: Let's flip it right; 2:09 PM
Norm said...: Let's flip it baby; 2:09 PM
Norm said...: Flip it all night; 2:09 PM
Norm said...: And now...; 2:09 PM
