Seastrunk headed for Oregon

Hey everyone. Texas tailback Lache Seastrunk, who once was thought to be one of Auburn's top targets, today announced plans to play at Oregon.

Seastrunk attended Big Cat Weekend last summer. He endeared himself to the Auburn-hearted by taking a swipe at Alabama coach Nick Saban during the trip. He mugged for an Opelika-Auburn News cameraman who filmed BCW festivities at Toomer's Corner, pointing at LaDarius Owens and saying: ``Tell Nick Saban he's S.O.L."

Anyway, Auburn seemed to cool on Seastrunk after Arkansas tailback Michael Dyer committed in early November. It appears the Tigers believe South Carolina tailback Marcus Lattimore will collaborate more effectively with Dyer.

Just thought you might like to know ... the rest of the story.

Morning Hotties, from Martinsburg, West Virginia.

About to take a little trip through history and visit Charles Town, Harpers Ferry, and, time permitting, Antietam Battlefield.

In related news...I'm a dork.

Blogger Jet said...

Mr. S ... I presume that's rhetorical, but I'll ignore that presumption and say ... "I don't know why."

I gave up ... 15 years ago.

I've discovered that the usually rational, occasionally emotional, always entertaining exchange of ideas in places like HABOTN is preferable to the shrill shrieks and disingenuous drivel of the garden variety talk show host and the regular retinue of sycophantic callers.

We've been hard after Lattimore. Word is we cooled on Seastrunk a while ago and were not expected to get a verbal/sign him.

Well one thing to come out of this is we'll find out who's getting the more reliable information... this time.

I'm just glad we're getting what seems to be quite a few early qualifiers, that are now in school ready to participate. We may have had this many or more before this year, but I didn't really pay attention before.

Just to clarify something to you, I didn't leave the last time because of you.

Probably so. What a conundrum for her Hubby:

Aero ...I realize that you are in a tense, serious environment.

American demeanor has shifted in the past few months to a "general laugh at ourselves attitude".

We've got massive unemployment, gridlock in Washington, Tiger Woods in sex addiction camp and NBC executives playing musical chairs with the late-nite lineup.

All we can do is laugh at it.

Hopefully you can grasp that humor from afar ..it may help.

I didn't figure it was my fault, however I didn't figure last time was my fault either. We all make decisions.

Seriously though, why leave every time you have a big disagreement with someone?

Hoop, I don't want anyone to need 3 days cooling period (followed by shots at me.) Too melodramatic and sensitive.

I don't want to spoil the fun or the family atmosphere here, and my presence makes it bad for the community here.

I don't have any problems with anyone.

As far as tensions about my job is concerned, well it's my job. Like an oncologist I wish the situation didn't exist but it does, so I do what I can to fix it. I'm good at it.

WERK - I really don't know the right answer to that. I've heard of that group but couldn't tell you anything they do. So, I guess, I'd say go on and go. With your foreknowledge of the situation related to the sky, go on and sit front row center and dare someone to confront you.

I'd love to have Shon Coleman, but... even without him, our O-line class is stacked. Am I the only one not that worried about him leaving? Will it even be a knock on Auburn if he doesn't come? Is bama's o-line class as good as ours? Maybe he goes there for less competition.

So yeah, I would love to have Coleman, but dude's got to do what he's got to do, and I ain't gonna let it disappoint me none.

12:39 PM

Michael...at the end of the day, I want kids who want to be here. With out without Coleman, we will have a great class. We have immediate contributors to help with O-line depth already on campus. I'd love to have him sign, I won't shed a tear or complain if he does sign with Bama.

THT, my husband thinks ice cream cures all too! Last night my daughter's boyfriend decided to break up with her via text message no less around 11:00. After about an hour of crying, I heard the garage door open. My husband went to the grocery store and came home with ice cream and fudge syrup. We ate ice cream and watched a movie. It did make her feel better. It didn't help my weigh in today.

Commish - while that may be true; in my day, all breakups were in person. Face to face. Of course, back then, there was no texting, computers everywhere with sites like fb where you could update your relationship status. I'm an old guy, I'm 45. My F4* is much too young to date, but when he does, if I hear he breaks up with a girlfriend by any means other than face to face, he and I will be driving to her house where he'll apologize to her and her parents for how he mishandled it.

I've never broken up with a girl, so I don't know what method I would use. I did get dumped in person, though. Not sure if I would have been upset if it was via text message. Maybe it would have given me something to be mad about which might have made the process a little bit better.

The whole breaking up by text message speaks to a larger issue. MEN handle their business.

It is okay if you want to break up, but give the lady the courtsey of doing it the right way.

Of course their are alot of boys masquerating as men that don't handle what they need to handle.
