No snags for Auburn's newcomers
Hey everyone. After a nice early-afternoon date with Wifey, I am here to report that Auburn's five newcomers have enrolled and, as of today, are attending classes on campus.There will be no sudden snags, problems, surprises. They're in school and that's that.
So who are these newcomers?
Oh, pretending to be blasé about 18-year-old kids? I understand. It's OK.
I'm here for you.
THE NEWCOMERS ARE:
QB Cameron Newton -- (right in the picture) outstanding junior-college player, tall, strong
OT Roszell Gayden -- good junior-college player, tall, very strong
OT Brandon Mosley -- good junior-college player, tall, very strong
LB Jessel Curry -- good high-school player from championship-caliber program, fast
DL Craig Sanders -- good high-school player from a .500-caliber program, projectable

That's some serious newcomers!!!
Darn.
Newcomers are better than oldcomers.
A tad late, FSJ.
Okay, y'all left me on the other thread....
Harrison: not tall or strong.
Yea for the newcomers....now study hard!!
A championship-caliber poster you are, Harrison.
Hoopie, thanks for saving me from having to make the Jello run to Gadsden.
Cincy - dinner vino suggestions are on the previous thread.
Matt Damon: "SEND ME THE CHECK!!!"
projectable sounds pretty awesome.
Wow, after reading my last post, now would actually be the time for CH=B to ask about my gayness.
Thanks Jay. I would think all five of these guys have a good shot at playing time. From what I have read, Grimes seems eager to get the JUCOs.
Thanks, SC, I jotted them down.
The theme for my party tonight is Valentine's Day, Easter and Halloween. I have a ton of leftover stuff from those holidays so each table is featuring one celebration. Good way to use up stuff. Not that the guys really care.
Has anyone else heard a nasty rumor that one of our players buckshotted Fall Semester? If not, then nothing to see here and nevermind.
ha. that's a great party idea.
don't know this buckshotted
And yes Peter, it was Bourbon, supposedly from the Bourbon king. And no, I wouldn't pay that much myself. I am way to cheap for that.
Buckshot as in ...
"Mr. Jetarsky. Zero point zero."
if you say so.
On an off topic note, it appears Connan O'Brien is refusing to move the Tonight Show to 11:05 AuST. The late night wars will be interesting. Jay Leno has said that he wasn't sure what he would do if he didn't move back to late night, but traveling was a possibility. He heard that Fox was nice this time of year:)
Conan and Jay Leno suck.
Letterman does too.
None could hold Carson's jock.
thanks jet
i think Conan should go to Fox. He can do goofier stuff there.
Cincy ...Those are good wine suggestions. You might also try Smoking Loon Shiraz with appetizers. a spicy medium Red
Harrison,
I thought Conan was better later too..
Same for Letterman.
i wouldn't go anywhere where I couldn't take the "self gratifying" bear. no sir.
I had no idea a jock was required for hosting late night comedy.
Oh, and it's PUPPET HOUR!!!! AAAHHH!!!!!
Judge Smails: "Don't you people have jobs??!!"
Newton has a huge arm and Malzahn LOVES to throw the ball downfield..i'm excited. Question..can the AU offense survive on option, runs, and deep throws?
I like Letterman, but none compare with Carson. I just never really got into Leno. Connan seems irritating. That guy on after Connan is less irritating, but isn't anything to write momma about.
No, wait a minute. I do remember Carson inviting the comedians he really liked to come over and hold his jock for a minute.
You are all wrong about everything. Conan and Letterman are awesome, Kimmel is good, Leno is horrible, and I can't say I have watched more than one or two Fallons, so I won't comment.
Idiots!
Turfman, a lot of our offense this season was runs and deep throws. Adding more option can only help. As for arm strength, Kodi has the arm strength. I just want to see the decision making and accuracy. I do hope Newton is as good as advertised. If so, we should be better offensively, even without Tate.
Fallon is the worst of all of them, even Leno, who is super-unfunny
Carson had two of the best lines in late night history on his show...
One involved Arnold Palmer...and the other involved Dolly Parton
Any chance Michael would throw his hat into the ring of the late night wars? It would be interesting.
Fallon just looks uncomfortable to me.
Leno's headlines are good..that's about it.
Dave has lost his edge.
Conan just blows.
speaking of unfunny. What is the cut-off age for thinking "Everybody Loves Raymond" is funny. All the 40 and up crowd I know loves it. I think it sucks
You know what would be weird? If that drifter I buried in the endzone dug himself out after turning into a zombie in the middle of the Georgia game this year. And then he ate Mark Richt's brain.
Leno's car collection is top notch, though.
Letterman deserves extra credit for how he handled his cheating ways. Tiger should become a follower of Letterman.
I found Everybody Loves Raymond to be perfectly amusing in small doses, Harrison. And I am not afraid to admit it. You and your hip ways don't intimidate me!
Michael,
Weird or AWESOME?
You could start shouting "I created that, I created that," and everyone around you would cheer.
Fallon may be the king of late night insecurity.
I think Letterman handled his cheating ways in the dumbest way possible. Pay the dude to shutup and be done with it. Don't take him to court and tell all of America about your bidness.
I am 46 and have tried to like "Everyone Loves Raymond", but I just couldn't. I am a Seinfeld fan, though.
PF, unless I was directly responsible for the zombification, I would feel a little guilty for cheering "I created that". I mean, I just killed him and buried him. I'm not that big of a hero.
michael, you are crazy. Letterman cemented himself as the most honest cheater out there.
you'd be a hero to the scores of zombies that were to follow. Until one of them ate your brain.
Are you sure you thought this out?
If I was honest, I would go to jail. And then you wouldn't have me here. Is that really what you value, Steve?
I try not to think past the first 4 or 5 zombies, Harrison. Chaos theory says that any projections past that are meaningless. It also says dinosaurs eat people.
This discussion is very funny....
Letterman only slants his political jokes one way and I don't like his syle anyway.
Leno has gotten stale.
Conan is off-beat, but has a promise. Like letterman, you gotta follow his show to get the humor.
Bill Clinton could have learned from Letterman. Can you imagine the difference it would have made if he has said "I did have sex with that woman. Nailed it". I think we would all have had more respect for him, or at least until we saw the pictures of Monica Lewinsky.
Michael, not to ask you about your bidness, but what are your thoughts on the effect of the drifter/zombie on the Jordan-Hare drainage system. Actually, I'm pretty impressed that he stayed buried during the WV game.
Except in Letterman's case, there wasn't an opposing political party out to get him, and as a late night talk show host, what he does at his work is not our business, unlike an elected official.
Pay the dude, and this all goes away, and all of America (including your son eventually) don't find out what a scuzzball you are
Seinfield ..one of the best ever.
Raymond ...too much arguing and lying ...and Harrison ...I'm 54, so not sure about the cutoff age.
if i were a zombie i would do my best to not look all rotten and wear nicer clothes. It'd be easier to kill and eat people.
Zombies just don't think sometimes
OK Hoopie, must just be the guys i work with. They watch it at lunch and giggle for 30 minutes.
Scott C, I am pretty sure I saw an ear floating around during that deluge. It was either that drifter's or it was my good friend Zach Walzowski's ear. Zach buried his ear around the 12 yard line back in '07.
I didn't have HD, so I couldn't tell whose ear it was exactly.
Yeah, but you wouldn't want to get brain and guts on your new zombie duds.
Like RK, I'm still wondering how Darren Bates can be the second most improved when he wasn't even at AU last year.
the drifter had rubber ears that don't biodegrade?
I think zombies don't wear nice stuff when they are out on the town because they know they are just going to get brains all over their clothes anyway, Harrison. Would you want brains on your nicest suit?
Michael ...
When you saw Bill Stewart on the sidelines at the WVU game, did you think for a moment that the zombie had come back to get you?
First Wal-Mart...now THIS....
Apparently an Alabama National Championship themed paint job on the 00 Aaron's car will be used at Talladega in April. Good grief.
Hoopie, read Jay G's definition. He is not talking about improved play, he is talking about improved regard in your mind between August whenever and January whenever. Doesn't everyone realize this? I feel like I am taking crazy pills!
Harrison ...I have watched Barney Fife at lunch and laughed out loud.
Maybe I'm too old for Raymond. Of course that wouldn't 'splain why I like Seinfeld.
Junior won't be in the most popular car at 'Dega? Say it ain't so.
Dayum MJT ...I have to carefully read contracts all day and now I gotta read the HABOTN poll conditions carefully.
...I may have wasted a vote.
In his open letter saying he didn't want to do the 12:05 time slot, Conan addresses everyone as follows:
"People of Earth:"
The guy is funny. Pretty smart, too.
Who is rolling in that car?
Reutimann?
I laugh at Barney Fife too. Let me rephrase my Raymond comment to say that it just plain sucks
Barney Fife is the best character of all time.
Barney Stenson is the best current character.
Reutimann, yes.
the next best Barney is the drunk one from the Simpsons
A Bama-themed pace car at Talladega? Say it ain't so.
Them's some marketing jeanusis rite dar.
I'm betting that Bama will set up one of those traveling trailers selling T shirts with "13" plastered everwhar.
Bammer car can be seenhere.
Seinfeld, like Cheers, is one of those shows I didn't get into when they were initially popular. Seinfeld grows on you and it brought us such wonders as the bro and festivus. What other TV show has done that?
As for NASCAR, nothing says class like NASCAR.
Harrison ..back in the day, we would go to a bar every Wed., drink beer and watch ole one-bullet Barney with the sound turned off. No problem following the plot when Barney was on stage.
I think that is correct Jay..
It's funny, because MWR is a Toyota team.
my dad made me watch it when i was a kid, good move on his part. he also made me watch a lot of zombie movies too. Now i know a lot about zombies for days like today
It is a real shame that Bama hasn't found a way to include cow tipping in their national championship celebration.
Seinfeld:
Spongeworthy
Shrinkage
Bubble Boy
Ugly Baby
Soup Nazi
Delores
Is anyone a marine biologist?
master of my domain
No soup for you is one of my favorite sayings. It is very useful to end unwanted conversations.
Back when my wife and I were dating, I kept telling her about this show called Seinfeld. I finally got her to watch it, and it turned out to be the first run of the "Master of my Domain" episode. Needless to say, I did not expect that subject matter.
Auburn, UGA, and Miss. State are the only SEC teams with only one player invited to the NFL Combine according to Chris Low.
Scott...you know how I know you...
I will always remember that guy Jimmy on Seinfeld that always spoke of himself in the third person. Jimmy liked Elaine.
Freshman Dyer+ Freshman Lattimore> Senior Ben Tate..no doubt...
Pf, I was about to bring that up. I don't want to get anything started like the last thread, but the fact that we only have one senior invited to the NFL combine show what a poor job XCTT did of recruiting and/or developing talent.
Lubbock Steve, lets leave it at that.
PF, our graduating class is small, but I am pretty surprised Coleman isn't on that list.
This Bammer turned his back>>
War Eagle!!!
There is no doubt that the number of players going to the NFL from Auburn decreased the last few years, but if you take a look at players in the NFL, we have sent a lot over the last decade.
Woulda figured it'd be Coleman over Tate. I mean, they'll invite anyone to the combine. Kind of crazy.
Jay G likes NASCAR.
I thought Tate would go, but Coleman seemed like even a better option. Tate has to get some kudos for his durability.
Turfman, you stole my old avatar!
That avatar is pretty awesome.
Rest easy, SC. You still have the best swimming and diving avatar on here.
Jay G...
You gonna get an iSlate tablet?
The attacking eagle avatar is worth reviving anyway. Somebody obviously Photo-shopped the Bammer jacket off of the guy, though.
Tuscaloosa News reporting that Willis has taken the Texas Tech job according to Finebaum.
Who is that FSJ?
Well he can be welcomed back into the family now...right?
Altough it seemed impossible, the people of Haiti are even more screwed today. They had an earthquake that was over 7.0. Apparently all land and cell phone lines are down. Not good.
Yeah, I am not familiar with this "Willis" character you speak of. Certainly it is no one of consequence.
I will not respect TT if they hire a ghost.
I don't get the big deal about the islate, Where is the big draw?
Bizarro World! Steve and PF with the same avatar! How will we ever tell them apart?
How can you be more screwed from the condition they are in? No trees to fall. No houses to be damaged. No infrastructure to be damaged.
No. I will not get an iSlate.
NBC: No wonder you're in fourth place. Losers.
what the hell is an islate?
idk Waker..
It will probably be sharp...but I want one of those 27 inch iMacs myself.
Harrison..
Apple's long rumored tablet computer that should be announced later this month.
I would MUCH prefer a 27" iMac.
Now they have no way to tell anyone outside the country how screwed they are. That place seems like it is jinxed. It looks like they would be able to develop some kind of tourism, but haven't.
Better for BLAWGIN' FER YER NAWGIN'.
Does the islate make toast too? If so, I might consider it.
I thought the iSlate was the equivalent of that Amazon book reader. I didn't know it was to be a full blown computer. That would be interesting. I have a boss with a laptop that had a display that would swivel and you could use a stilus with it. I wonder if the iSlate would function similarly.
They'd have industry and tourism if the greedy bastards hadn't sold all of their trees.
Here is a link to a sight that appears to have a picture of an iSlate, with O/S up and running.
Everything is getting smaller these days. I saw a TV the other day online that is supposedly around 7 millimeters thick.
The world keeps changing.
I don't want an iSlate.
I have gotten old fashioned and prefer to do everything from a traditional desktop computer these days. I have a work laptop, but I log into it remotely. Just give me a couple of big displapys and a keyboard and I'm good. The worse my eyesight gets, the bigger the displays get.
Haiti has had 3 magnitude 5 or above aftershocks too. Supposedly the builds are crumbling. Obama is talking about sending aid.
I have no use for an islate unless it downloads porn at an amazingly fast clip
i'm still on my ol' IBM thinkpad. Thats because i'm still at work..12 hours :(
LOL Harrison.
"The dingo ate your baby".
Another classis Seinfeld quote.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZNEJq1_0VE
I think this is for you Harrison
I see a description of an iTablet as a combination of an iPhone and a Mac, so get ready to see people walking around with thin laptops pressed up against their ears.
no you tube at work Wake. I'll have to watch it later. I'm here 12 hours like Turfman is
Is that Brantley and Newton in that pic??
Ever thought about going to Texas Tech on a swim scholly?
http://www.bofunk.com/media/images/ttu_swimteam.jpg
Yeah, i usually do 4-12's and an 8hr shift on my friday, which happens to be today, woot woot.
I don't mean this in a bad way, but...
Anyone who crashes that Alabama MNC car will INSTANTLY become my new favorite driver.
And should they happen to rub that junky looking hooptie-sled completely out the race, I promise I will follow the driver responsible for the rest of the NASCAR season, toasting to their accomplishment and spending money on their merchandise.
Hate doesn't have an offseason, folks.
It just changes games.
I don't think I would ever consider going to Tubbock, but my boss just asked if I would be interested in relocating to Oregon. I am not sure I could take the culture shock. It is against the law to pump your own gas out there and they argue over whether ducks or beavers are better. It would definitely be different.
On the other hand, wtc does have a point.
I think I could really like Oregon... if I could kick out approximately 1/4 of the state first.
FSJ-I am at a loss for words. What will be next, taking the trophy to the Rattlesnake Rodeo in Opp, Al later this year?
My God! Won't someone think of the poor rattlers!
Its already bad enough that I can't go to Wal-Mart without running into that d*mn trophy.
In case you haven't heard any bad singing lately and miss it, the season premiere of American Idol is on.
I got $20 that I will give any two of you that will go into Wal*mart and throw that trophy back and forth in a game of keep away.
wtc,
I agree about the NASCAR thing...The university could have prevented that, IMO.
I don't think they had a choice on the trophy/Wal-Mart thing. I believe that was a deal between the sponsors of the trophy (Dr. Pepper I think) and Wal-Mart. I believe it would have been in a Wal-Mart in Texas had they won.
Those wacky singers are back!!! Some dude tells Simon to shut up. This is going to be entertaining.
FSJ- I know it was a prearranged deal for the Walmart thing, but with all the rest of the country thinking how rural AL is, this just did not help the image. And now adding NASCAR to the parade just confirms the stereotype in their minds. They are having a monster truck pull in ATL at the end of the month. Will the trophy be over there for that?
I'm right there with you wtc..
UA should have nixed the NASCAR thing.
dude, I'VE GOT THE FRONT PAGE QUOTE!!!!!!! yippe!!!
i've been really busy at work and i barely got to read/post today. i guess karma was working in my favor.
WDE. :)
LOL....Congrats scottie.
SteveFL, i was watching that Seinfeld episode tonite. i was in stitches when Elaine broke that out. love it.
thanks FSJ. i'm SO proud. hehe.
scottie...
This dude's got a nice man cave except for the circa 1990 computer..
Auburn Man Cave
Congrats, scottie. I have been on here forever and haven't got a front page quote, and I tried mentioning puppets.
FSJ, admit it. That is actually your basement.
I think new rankings by Rivals come out Wednesday. I look for AU commits to improve on their ranking. The ones moving up are still on the board for AU. I think Seastrunk may move down, butheisnot on our list any longer. Look for Shon Coleman to possibly move to a 5*.
wtc, I thought there was some rival policy against Auburn commits gaining stars?
wtc,
what's going on with the kid from Opelika that was supposedly committed to UA but kept going to all the Auburn games?
Steve...
It's a bammer policy. I'll have to contact Rivals to see if I can get this stopped.
The Rollison train has been put on a siding to make room for the Newton express, coming to a campus near you this spring.

re: Cincy's hubby...
I wouldn't just be out of town. I'd be out of state, or preferably in another country far, far away.
I made it to work tonight thanks to a co-worker giving me a ride. It was of the utmost importance...we were choosing our vacation weeks for this year.
That Haiti earthquake is a serious situation. I just read where cars were turned over by the quake.
FSJ-As for as I know he is going to UA. Not waivering, according to the folks I speak with.
Nova, I actually think Rollison sidelined the Rollison Express himself. It is very possible this is why he wasn't being recruited by many top notch schools.
Simon Cowell: "It was like there were 20 of you in there, and all of them were bad".
Ouch!!! That's going to leave a mark.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kiffin to USC per ESPN.com
New thread UPZ.
Lane Kiffin to USCW?!
SteveFL, do you watch train wrecks for fun too? I can't think of anything that would make me watch Idol.
