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.

mytommyd said...: go WEG; 4:41 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Does no one want to be first anymore? Okay, I think I'll take Michael Dyer anyway.; 4:41 PM
mytommyd said...: From the last thread which I once again seemed to post after a new one was created:

Just for knowledge sake, there's a new place in Vinings (for the folks that gto or are around Atlanta) called The Burger Club. They serve the 8 pound burgersaurus. supposedly it serves 8.

Glad to finally get to read some of the blog after actually having to work... AGAIN. Working is really getting in the way of my HABOTN time.; 4:42 PM
Harrison said...: I heard Lache has real skinny legs and bony elbows, that's why we didn't want him anymore; 4:42 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Now, I'm ready for Lattimore. Are you the only one around Tommy?; 4:42 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Headed home from work.......see ya later!; 4:43 PM
mytommyd said...: I think there are a lot of folks around, they may still be on the last thread, or the 700+ comment one just trying to take it over 800; 4:43 PM
Anonymous said...: Seastrunk's a Duck ...just as I've been saying for the past 3 weeks.; 4:46 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Nicely done, Hoop.; 4:48 PM
Anonymous said...: JG ...Thanks for the props, but I was just funning. I only follow 'cruitin' on the HABOTN and have never commented on Seastrunk.

Of course the general HABOTN opinion was Oregon, so ..I got that going for me.; 4:52 PM
Seanzie said...: Yep, well done. Jay G, did you find your ice cream hookup in Byrnes?; 4:52 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Very nice report, JGT.

Way to go, WEG!

Good luck, Lache! I'll always remember your Toomer's Corner proclamation!!!; 4:53 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, it's an hour past quittin' time. Hopefully, I'll get to quit in another 15 minutes. TTYHL.; 4:55 PM
Anonymous said...: THT ...ya know ...that jab at $aban may endear AU folks to Lache for the next few years.

Go Ducks!!; 4:56 PM
Anonymous said...: OK ..off to the gym. It's gonna hurt.; 4:57 PM
Seanzie said...: I'm not heartbroken that Lache isn't coming...in fact I posted earlier today I would be shocked if he did, but it is also very good for us that he did not decide to attend LSU.; 4:58 PM
cincytiger said...: I broke the cardinal rule and listened to 5 minutes of fbomb today. I came in on the tail end of him dissing Jonna Chizik, but I didn't hear what it was about. Something about him running into her at Auburn after the AU - AL game. Anyone shed any light on this?; 5:16 PM
Kathy said...: Cincy, you can read about it here:

http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=6&f=1010&t=5530579; 5:23 PM
Kathy said...: JGT, I love your recruiting articles. No such thing as too much info.; 5:24 PM
cincytiger said...: Thanks, Kathy. This happened after the Iron Bowl and we're just not hearing about it? Sounds fishy to me.; 5:31 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I did not see this take place.

I find it plausible. Jonna is a strong-minded and outspoken person. If she doesn't like you, it won't be a secret.

As far as if Finebaum deserved it, well, you know my feelings about his on-air work. My reasons for loathing him professionally have nothing to do with an alleged bias against Auburn, though.; 5:31 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: He's a mean-spirited person on the air. I don't like it.

I'll bet cash money that someday he'll regret having been so mindlessly aggressive toward people he barely knows.; 5:33 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Anyway, I have completed 25 signee capsules so far. I haven't yet done DJ Howard and I'm still trying to learn more about Ryan White. He's an enigma to me.; 5:34 PM
cincytiger said...: I heard part of the segment with Gentry Estes today. I would not call Estes an unbiased reporter, which is ok, he writes about the tide. But, fbomb even twisted what Estes was saying about recruiting to make it sound like he was saying negative things about Auburn, which he wasn't. Fbomb just kept pushing, It was kind of sick.; 5:37 PM
cincytiger said...: Jay,
When are you going to post those capsules? As the players commit? I am not going to have access to a computer during the day on Wednesday, will you tweet when we get commitments? Or is that overload?; 5:39 PM
cincytiger said...: Have you not done DJ because you don't think he is going to commit to Auburn?; 5:39 PM
CHB said...: I think it's funny that Mrs. Chizik and Mrs. Malzan got all over Finescum. He deserves everything he gets. It was the Center Point town idiot that brought up the story. I though Finescum did ok at not bashing them too much, but the idiot just kept on.; 5:40 PM
Anonymous said...: Whew folks...I've had a helluva day..

First I introduced the new iPad (I overruled the previous suggestion of iSlate).

Get you some of that! At $499 and up, of course.; 5:40 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Jay G. Tate said...
"He's a mean-spirited person on the air. I don't like it."

I feel the same way. Most of the sports radio personalities in B'ham favor UAT, but he's the only one who seems to be a flat-out jerk. I can't listen to him.; 5:43 PM
Kathy said...: I'm waiting on the new iPhone FSJ. I hear it will be 4G.; 5:43 PM
michael said...: Ms Chizik yelled at me once when our football ended up in her back yard. It wasn't my fault, Harrison wanted to practice punting.; 5:45 PM
cincytiger said...: I agree, SC. I listen to Dunaway and Brown quite often and while Dunaway is openly pro-bama, he is very respectful of Auburn.; 5:47 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I think DJ Howard will de-commit.

I'm going to South Carolina for Lattimore's announcement. I'm hoping to get back in Auburn by 10 a.m. or so on Wednesday.; 5:48 PM
michael said...: Jay G is a hardcore recruitnik! Awesome!

I will read whatever you write from there as long as it is not too in depth.; 5:51 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I don't mind D&B. You really can't expect UAT fans to be any more respectful of AU than they are. With that said, I pretty much boycotted all sports radio in B'ham for about 10 days after 1/7. Cincy, have you heard D&B since they teamed up with Lance Taylor? I'm not sure how that's going to work out.; 5:52 PM
Kathy said...: JGT, are you going to SC because you have inside info?

Have you heard if Savage got his 6th year?; 5:56 PM
CHB said...: G, are you going to SC because you believe Latt will commit to Au.; 5:57 PM
chip chip said...: does AU go back to seastrunk if lattimore falls through?

i don't think it comes to that, but that is not a bad fallback if you could pull it off.; 6:01 PM
michael said...: wtc's mom told Jay G he wouldn't be disappointed if he went there.; 6:04 PM
cincytiger said...: Scott,
I'm not wild about the merge with LT. I think the Roundtable was about to go under and that is why they had D&B move over with him. I think they do some segments that D&B aren't real comfortable with.; 6:05 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I am going to SC because Lattimore is a huge story -- either way.

Savage won't learn his fate for a while longer. Tez Doolittle applied in 2007 and received notification in mid March.; 6:06 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Chip- No chance they go back to Seastrunk. Apparently according to some in the know he wasn't a good fit at Auburn and he was using an in-between that resulted in Auburn backing off of him after Big Cat Weekend. Seastrunk hasn't been in Auburn's plans for quite awhile it appears.; 6:08 PM
michael said...: I am actually the HABOTN in-between for this guy named Harold. I pretty much write whatever he tells me to write.; 6:10 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: Cincy, I can't believe you broke the cardinal rule! Shame on you! ;-)

Kathy, is there any way I could read that article without signing up?

Why were they talking about that today anyway? It was two months ago.; 6:14 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Me neither, Cincy. It seems like a bad marriage. I figured it might be a cost-cutting thing, though.; 6:15 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: I, like the rest of you, am not the least bit upset about Seastrunk going to Oregon. Auburn has Fannin, McCalebb, Dyer and possibly Lattimore. Isn't that enough? To me it is.

Jay G, thanks for the write up on McNeal. Too much content? Never! You know we can't get enough when it comes to Auburn!; 6:17 PM
Kathy said...: Not sure Luv.; 6:19 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Luv, I think you do have to sign up, but you don't have to get a paid membership.; 6:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: This is Ryan White?; 6:24 PM
cincytiger said...: Hey, THT, think you got some synapses crossed there...; 6:26 PM
Jimmy said...: Holy smokes Tar Heel,
that reminds me I saw the Enigma at a sushi restaurant one time, really sort of freaked me out.; 6:31 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: oops, JGT said Ryan White is an enigma, not The Enigma.; 6:31 PM
Jet said...: Lache ... all the best. You seem like an entertaining young man.

My guess: DJ and Ryan White will be elsewhere come signing day.; 6:36 PM
Miller said...: FSJ,
I am a bit disappointed in your newly announced iPad (Canvas would have been a much cooler name... iPad is too close to iPod).
The UI is slick, but no multi-tasking, no (adobe)flash, no camera, no usb or optical drive? C'mon!

With that said, it's pretty slick. the iWork programs developed specifically for the iPad look very smooth and robust...; 6:37 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Thanks for that link, THT.

The Enigma was brilliant in his role as "The Conundrum" in X-Files.; 6:37 PM
cincytiger said...: Yuck! Just got the instructions for my "welcome to 50" scope of the nether regions. These instructions sound like less fun than listening to a whole 4 hour fbomb show. I DO NOT like this part of turning 50!; 6:43 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: LATTTTIMORE; 6:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Freep - I only watched x-files because it was what MrsTHT wanted to watch. That's where I remembered The Enigma from.

I'm glad grammar lady isn't here right now.; 6:45 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Cincy - you're such a youngster!; 6:46 PM
cincytiger said...: I hope i still feel young after they finish with me!; 6:46 PM
Miller said...: 50 is the new 25...; 6:46 PM
cincytiger said...: My son-in-law and I started a contest today. We are competing to see who can lower their cholesterol the most in 6 months. We are both at the high end of normal and want to get it lower. We are both so competitive we thought a competition would encourage us. Anyone have any tips?; 6:48 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: I think we are going to lose Shon Coleman to the Tide...; 6:51 PM
cincytiger said...: jhag,
Why do you say that?; 6:54 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Cincy - I use ice cream liberally.; 6:55 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Saban visited him today...he is taking a visit to Tuscaloosa soon. If they dont feel they are going to sign James Stone whom is now favoring UTenn they will offer Shon...and you have to believe Shon is just waiting for an UA offer; 6:59 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wtc's mom is going to wash your mouth out with soap for such trash talk, jhag.; 6:59 PM
cincytiger said...: Yeah, THT, I can just see my cholesterol plummeting on that diet. You trying to help my son-in-law win?; 7:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, Molly is one of the slimmest women I know, so it must work!; 7:02 PM
cincytiger said...: jahg,
Why would he want to go to bama and sit on the bench for 3 years? Don't they have like 49 offensive lineman? And from the recruiting boards he already has an offer from Alabama. Why hasn't he taken it if that is where he's so fired up to go?; 7:03 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Yeah, I don't think Coleman is "just waiting" on an offer from UAT. He already had one. He may be waiting to see if anything changes his mind (like an Escalade or something).; 7:05 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: It isnt a commitable offer...and sorry for voicing my opinion. Well see what happens; 7:06 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: James Stone is ahead of Shon on Alabama's board, if Stone goes to UT Shon goes to BAMA; 7:08 PM
cincytiger said...: No, jhag, I appreciate you offering information you are aware of. I just hope it doesn't happen. What is the difference between an offer and a commitable offer? Do schools offer different kinds of offers?; 7:09 PM
cincytiger said...: So what do the gurus say about Stone? Sounds like you think he is TN bound.; 7:11 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: I mean I dont see why this kid visits a rival school this close to NSD if he isnt interested; 7:11 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I think its more likely that they are making a last ditch effort to take him away from Auburn now that Stone is looking elsewhere. I have seen nothing to show me that Coleman wants to go anywhere but Auburn.; 7:12 PM
CHB said...: jhag, stop the 2nd fiddle attitude please.; 7:13 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: What makes you so certain that that's what he'll do? Just curious.

He is the one with the coach who's a big UAT fan, though, isn't he?; 7:13 PM
cincytiger said...: You're right, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Unless maybe it is a power thing? He wants them to beg so he can say no thanks? It could happen :); 7:13 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Well James Stone was considered by most a Bama Lock, then it was a AU/UA battle but now Tennessee is swooping in and he named them his leader. Stone was the top OL on Bama's must get board. Therefore they are now jumping on Shon Coleman in thoughts of losing Stone; 7:13 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: He has visited OM, Arky, and now Bama the last few weeks, kinda fishy; 7:14 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: You still have to make the assumption that he would rather go to UAT than AU. I think that's far from a given.; 7:15 PM
CHB said...: jhag, if you were 17/18 and were told you could take 5 free trips, be taken out to eat and treated like a king that you wouldn't go?

He isn't from Alabama so he doesn't understand the rivalry. He is just loving the attention. I could be wrong but I don't think he goes anywhere.; 7:15 PM
cincytiger said...: Maybe he just likes being wined and dined; 7:16 PM
cincytiger said...: Yeah, what Ch=B said!; 7:16 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I'm outta here! Everybody have a good night. WDE!; 7:17 PM
CHB said...: I don't like it any more than the next person, but that's how it works. If we lose him then we lose him. We will still have a very good class and should be happy. 1 guys does not make/break a class.; 7:18 PM
CHB said...: later sc; 7:19 PM
cincytiger said...: But, I want him. And like my hubby says, I usually get what I want.; 7:20 PM
CHB said...: Well then it's a done deal!!!; 7:20 PM
CHB said...: Wow my FAUWG was a beast tonight!! She must of missed nap time.; 7:21 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: ....If you were 17/18 and were told you could take 5 free trips, be taken out to eat and treated like a king that you wouldn't go?

You darn tootin' I would. Couldn't have said it any better myself.

I think he is AU bound.

AND for the record... I think we get Whiticker too.; 7:24 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: ....AND you forgot to mention have some of the loveliest women on campus - be it they are Hostesses fawn over you during your visit?

Yea - I would take my 5.....; 7:26 PM
CHB said...: plus some unofficals; 7:26 PM
cincytiger said...: I'd feel better if wtc's mom popped in and told us not to worry.; 7:26 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Good luck to Lache.; 7:35 PM
wtc said...: Mom is too busy, but I will say do not worry, for now.; 7:35 PM
wtc said...: FWIW:

I have felt, for about a week, that DJ Howard will go to Clemson. The visit to Clemson, W/O telling the coaches did not sit well at all. we probably will lose him.; 7:37 PM
wtc said...: Coaches visited Coleman today at Olive Branch HS. I hear three coaches showed up. Nutt, Saban, Chizik. Chizik did visit. Coleman is in Ttown tonight. He will get the full court press, as CHB stated, because UA feels James Stone is going to UT. Last I heard, he cancelled his scheduled visit to AU this weekend. Hard to think the UA coaches can change what AU has been working on for 12 months. Remember AU was the first to offer. UA went after his teammate, D Robinson a very big OL, and looked past Coleman. I also recall that Coleman said, last week, that he was 100% AU but he would take his visits. So, even though it is to a rival team, so were the visits to Ole Miss and Arly, and he is going to Miami this weekend, he is doing what he said.; 7:42 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Well I certainly would not visit Tuscaloosa, Alabama...I would go to USC, UCLA, FSU, Oregon, and Hawaii; 7:43 PM
wtc said...: One other note. I think Saban and much of the staff is on the road, like all coaches at this time, so he probably doesn't get nearly the face time he would normally get for an official.
That is just my opinion. their staff is good, so I know they know what they are doing and will make it a good trip.
I still think he stays with AU.; 7:44 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Haha I think its funny that you put FSU in the midst of USC, Oregon and Hawaii. Tally isn't exactly an exotic location.; 7:45 PM
wtc said...: AU has several high profile visitors this weekend. No names just yet, but 3 of the 5 are committed elsewhere. Florida, UGA, and UNC (I think).; 7:46 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: If Stone commits to Bama we keep Shon if he commits to UT Shon goes to Bama, id put money on that...I might lose my money but that is just how I feel; 7:46 PM
wtc said...: Jhag-I agree with you, but I also would not have visited Fayetteville or Oxford.; 7:46 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: FSJ I'm dying for an ipad. Hook a brotha up!; 7:47 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Yeah but their girls are exotic; 7:47 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: I agree with CHB about Coleman. And hasn't he reported for months that he's taking ALL his visits despite being 100% Auburn? The UAT visit has been on the books for months. It's not like this came out of the blue.; 7:48 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Thank you wtc, it takes two recruiting gurus to tango **cheers**; 7:49 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Yeah but before Bama wasn't really pressing him now with Stone considering UT highly they will accept a Coleman commitment; 7:51 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: any chance of getting John Cullen in for a visit this weekend?; 7:51 PM
Norm said...: FWIW - I'd absolutely encourage my F4* son to take all of his official visits. Of course I'll go with him to supervise. I'm thinking he'll be interested in visiting; AU, USCw, UCLA, Hawaii, and maybe FSU.; 7:53 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Malzahn will be in Montgomery tomorrow for the AHSAA convention.

Some guy from Alabama will be there, too.; 7:54 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: According to Rivals Cullen is going to USCw this weekend; 7:59 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: thanks, Wakerider.

Ok, time for me to get in my "the sky is falling on Auburn" mindset.

We could lose Coleman to "those people" if "those people" lose Stone to UT. The coach who reportedly made some claims of "big surprises" for AU yesterday (didn't happen) and/or NSD is the same coach who made that claim about how July 4 2009 was going to be huge and we wouldn't need any fireworks. Well, I hope this next week doesn't come and go like July 4 weekend did.; 8:06 PM
Turfman said...: P.M. says Coleman did not take the visit to Bama tonight. If he cancels his visit to Miami this weekend then that means trouble. Stone is not ahead of Coleman on anybody's board. If Lattimore commits to SC we keep Howard. Howard has yet to realize he is not a BCS RB. If Lattimore goes to SC we will go hard after Ambles. If Lattimore commits to us, Howard will go to Clemson, then we would take Darius Robinson from Clemson. All of that is only my opinion..no inside info...NOT TO ALL AUBURN FANS..STOP LISTENING TO FINEBALM!!; 8:07 PM
Miller said...: I don't understand the AU fans that think that just because someone visits another school, that AU is going to lose that recruit... lose the inferiority complex, please.

Coleman has said from the very beginning that he wanted to, and would, take all 5 visits. Keep your pants on. Cause you look like a fool with your pants on the ground.; 8:07 PM
Turfman said...: NOT=NOTE; 8:09 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Norm me and your future son have a lot in commin; 8:14 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Yes, keep your pants on, peeps.; 8:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: just playing to the crowd, D. Miller.

I still think if Coleman visits UA-T, it is on a mission of espionage.; 8:15 PM
cincytiger said...: Ok, Turfman, I hear you. But, listening to Fbomb is like watching a train wreck. You try hard not to, but you just can't help yourself.; 8:16 PM
wtc said...: Turfman-I just read an article from the Clemson site that interviewed Robinson. He was in town this weekend. He says he took the trip because his dad wanted him to and he had no intentions of leaving.
Just thought I would let you know. I knew he was in town. He visited with the faculty. His story with the Clemson guys is different than what actually happened, but that is OK. he says he is 100% to Clemson. (Where have we heard that before) BTW-I was one that thought we had him locked up after this weekend.; 8:16 PM
Norm said...: jhag - just a finer point; I already have the son, it's 4* that's in the future. Actually, I'm thinking 5* but don't want to seem cocky about it. So, be on the lookout for him in around 14 years.; 8:17 PM
Turfman said...: It's a shame about Seastrunk too he is truely a special player.; 8:18 PM
Miller said...: I wasn't referring to you THT... I knew you were pandering.; 8:18 PM
Norm said...: The sky is falling!; 8:19 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Turfman whoa whoa whoa...first of all Stone is ahead of Coleman on Alabama's board ask any knowledgeable Bama fan. Just bc hes rated higher on rivals doesn't mean Alabama doesn't have Stone higher on their board, they evaluate differently.
secondly what does Lattimore going to USCe have anything to do with Ambles?
He announces the day before signing day so it will be hard to go "after" Ambles when we have hours...
Lastly DJ Howard can play RB in a BCS conference, hence kentucky and clemson going hard after him...cmon man; 8:21 PM
wtc said...: I listened to Fbomb in my travel form the office to the gym today. Thank goodness I stopped at one traffic light. That nut from Centerpoint just came on and started the topic of Mrs. Chizik and Mrs. Malzahn 'attacking' him. With Coach Malzahn and Chizik watching. Supposedly her tirade went on for 20 minutes. it was sort of like the tongue lashing that Gottfried's wife gave him a year ago. To his credit, Fbomb did say that he was not attacked and that she just had some things she wanted to say. Knucklehead caller kept saying she attacked him and both coaches should apologize. Fbomb said he did not think they should and went to break.; 8:21 PM
wtc said...: After listening to that segment, I pondered taking a shower BEFORE I worked out.; 8:22 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Oregon is the perfect fit for Lache, im happy for him...he will flourish in their offense and rip up Pac10 defenses; 8:23 PM
wtc said...: The guy from Rivals, Jeff Lee, says Coleman is in Ttown tonight. Do not know who is correct on that one. PMarshall or Jeff Lee.; 8:23 PM
wtc said...: Since no message boards are lit up about him 'not coming (on their side) and him 'not going' on the Au side. I assume he went.; 8:24 PM
wtc said...: Jet, our discussion about a certain DB getting dropped is wrong. That was something PM put out and was wrong from the start.; 8:25 PM
Norm said...: I can listen off and on to the 740 morning and mid-day shows but cannot and will not listen to F'bomb. I'd rather pull another all night conference call than to listen to his show.; 8:26 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: jhag, there is no such thing as a knowledgeable bammer... you should know this.; 8:27 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: jhag, no offense, but your description of the "bama board rankings" sounds much like the convenient excuses we always hear from UAT fans: if the player commits, he was always high; if not, never was. The rank always goes up and down depending on whether they go elsewhere or join the fold.; 8:29 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Pmarsh says what AU fans want to hear since it is a pay site, cmon; 8:31 PM
Miller said...: WTC,
PM has been taking a page from the Paul Kornblutt playbook lately...; 8:31 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Dave Rader to ole miss as OC; 8:35 PM
Miller said...: Rader? haha; 8:38 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Thats a head scratcher of a hire.; 8:43 PM
Turfman said...: jhag..Clemson and Kentucky are going after Howard for the same reason we are, he has tons of potential in the defensive backfield. James Stone was an uncommitted prospect which if I'm Bama's coach would make him an easier target than Coleman. I promise you Bama put the full press on Coleman before he committed to Auburn. Coleman is a big step above Stone. As I said before there is not a team in this country who would evaluate these guys and pick Stone. Recruiting Lattimore is not about getting a RB(we have plenty)it's about getting a playmaker. Ambles is the backup plan if we lose Lattimore. Note to Jhag...the coaches know where a player is going WAY before the public...; 8:44 PM
Jet said...: I am visiting Opelika on Saturday.; 8:45 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Turfman being so uninformed with recruiting and making all these claims is interesting. I guess you have the best inside sources around; 8:49 PM
coosa said...: Thanks for all the updates, Jay G. Too much is not enough when talking AU football.

Hello to all the Hotties.

Sorry I've been awol for a while.; 8:53 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: I get all my insider crutin' info from the State of the Union address. The Big O just whispered "Coleman's just messin' with tiny in t-town" and winked. So, there you go!; 8:54 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: When he said that, McCain leaned over and said "Bama Sucks!!" to Lindsey Graham. I love it when they talk about stuff that matters in DC!; 8:56 PM
Turfman said...: my inside source is a combination of 3 AU websites who get paid to get inside info. I dont know why I need to validate myself to someone who thinks Coleman will go to Bama. Then again your source is the Bama recruiting board so why am I even trying?; 8:58 PM
Miller said...: ladies, ladies... if you're gonna fight, find some jello first; 9:03 PM
Turfman said...: I have had everything i've said opinion or otherwise disputed by someone who is obviously ill informed.; 9:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i'm going to turn this thing off and watch Psych.

Sweet dreams, Hotties!; 9:07 PM
Jet said...: There's only one expect and it's WTC's mom. She sits on a reupholstered sofa, soaking her bunions. You'd think she'd be sitting there doing crossword puzzles or knitting.

Instead, she's working the phones like a pro.; 9:10 PM
Norm said...: I began feeling nauseous around 9p eastern. I'm not sure why. I suppose it could have something to do with recruiting, but I'm not sure that's it.; 9:12 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: never looked at a bama board in my life...
Clemson is recruiting DJ just for RB. Ambles at this point isn't a back up plan. If he commits then we take one less DT (Which right now appears to be an in state 3*). The coaches have been adamant about taking two RBs this signing class so Lattimore falls into that category.
Shon Coleman is Bama's backup plan for James Stone
get some.; 9:22 PM

CHB said...: jhag has been on it this evening. Dude relax!!!; 9:23 PM
Norm said...: CHB - I notice you left off ITT from your list. Why?; 9:24 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Norm, ITT's coach is on the hot seat, its never a good idea to go to a school who could change coaches while your there. Plus I hear they don't even take you to the scrip club on visits.; 9:26 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: And we all know it ain't no sin to go to the scrip clubs. Recruits just like to be rebellion.; 9:27 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: I have, but it is annoying when someone comes in here saying all this false info etc. ill chill but it gets on my nerves; 9:28 PM
Norm said...: I was unaware that yet another coach was on the hot seat. I appreciate the clarification. You made a very valid point.; 9:28 PM
CHB said...: I would take an unoffical visit to ITT.; 9:30 PM
CHB said...: Can't we all just get along?

Turfman said...: False info Jhag??

It isnt a commitable offer...and sorry for voicing my opinion. Well see what happens

Be honest with everyone..you have no clue what you are talking about.; 9:44 PM
wtc said...: jhag-the older you get, that desire will go away. Most of the time I don't care who disagrees with me. It is my opinion and it works for me. That is the way I look at it. If we all liked the same thing, Baskin Robbins would have been out of business a long time ago.

Both of you had good points. You each just feel strongly about your point. Problem is, none of us will ever know, unless Homer Tate does an exclusive with the coaches from the conference to tell why they went after certain guys and not others. :); 9:45 PM
Turfman said...: Get some?? how old are you 10??; 9:46 PM
wtc said...: To make it clear I was talking the desire to argue over the internet to prove your point. I have been told by those older than me that other desires go away also. You know who you are .... Jet, Norm, Harrison.; 9:47 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: puttin the dude on the ignore list..wtc you the man; 9:48 PM
cincytiger said...: wtc,
I don't think those other desires go away until you die :); 9:49 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Im actually a 56 year old female, and you? get some; 9:49 PM
wtc said...: WOW. I am at a loss for words now, Cincy.; 10:00 PM
cincytiger said...: I was talking about the desires for chocolate, diamonds, new furniture for a condo... what did you think I was talking about wtc?; 10:07 PM
cincytiger said...: Good night, hotties. Y'all be nice to each other. We're all members of the same family :); 10:13 PM
Anonymous said...: wtc, anyone else ... just got a call saying Savage has had his 6th year approved. No links and it is from a good source but no real proof. Anyone else heard it yet?; 10:47 PM
Spongeworthy said...: All of you off to bed. If you are here, this is what I hear. Chizik talked to coleman. He is coming to AU. Now, these are 17/18 yr olds, so a new car and cash may change his mind, but I understand he is AU bound.
Lattimore, now that one is changing. He is getting BIG time pressure from all fronts in SC to stay in SC. He may cave, he may not. Use to be he was a high probability to AU, now not sure.; 10:47 PM
Spongeworthy said...: AU. That's good news, if he is fully recovered. I say he loses a step of speed, so he moves back to safety.; 10:56 PM
cincytiger said...: Good morning, HOTTIES!!!

It's a great day to be an Auburn Tiger!; 5:52 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Good morning, Hotties! Happy Thursday!!

I have to disagree about Finescum's radio show being like a trainwreck. I have NO desire whatsoever to listen. A vast majority (I'd say probably 99%) of the callers are idiots - that includes both Auburn and UAT fans. I do agree with Jay G in that basically he is a BIG JERK. It's purely entertainment, you say? Well, then I guess we all have our own opinion of what is entertaining. Like my brother said about the fact that my brothers' political views and mine are almost completely different, "Diversity is what makes this world great."; 5:57 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Cincy, EVERY day is a great day to be an Auburn Tiger!!!!

Now, I must go to a bunch of portable CXR's in MICU!; 5:59 AM

wtc said...: AUfan-The news about Savage is coming from a facebook site about AU recruiting. One o the mods usually has very goof info, but I have nto seen nor heard anything official yet. I find it hard to believe the NCAA would rule so early onthisone, but who knows how that group works.; 7:07 AM
Jet said...: Experts will tell you the holidays are the most stressful time of the year. As we get closer to Recruitmas, it's not surprising that we're sniping at each other.

But, as I said decades ago, it is Morning in America, and it is wonderful see our coaching staff in the mix for so many outstanding players. In time, we can truly be that Shining Program on a Hill -- a beacon for all to see.m; 7:14 AM
IV said...: Good Mornin' all. Looks like it is going to be a nice day in P'ville. Hope so, got some walkin' to do today, maybe some yard work as well.; 7:14 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Thanks for the info, Sponge. I hope Lattimore gets some distance and time to think things over. If he gets some room, Auburn's chances have to be excellent. I mean, he'll languish in USC (with or w/out Spurrier there).; 7:14 AM
stupup74 said...: I cannot listen to Fbomb anymore. He is like a propoganda radio station for Bama right now.

I am okay with PF when he is talking by himself, because he kind of gives the needle to idiots. I have big issues when he allows that Shane guy to act like he is a objective journalist, then call people like Charles Goldberg homers. I find it repulsive. It
is borderline defamation of character/slander.

Some of this stuff people like Shane posts is close to being fiction. You watch, one of these days someone like him is going to get challenged in the legal system and have the book thrown at them.; 7:24 AM
Seanzie said...: Good morning, all.; 7:26 AM
IV said...: Sausage cookin', pancakes about ready, I am an Auburn Tiger. Life is good.; 7:28 AM
IV said...: Where is Norm? We are getting close.; 7:29 AM
cincytiger said...: IV,
We may have to do it without him.; 7:37 AM
cincytiger said...: Mmmmm, sausage and pancakes, sounds wonderful. Suddenly my oatmeal doesn't sound so satisfying.; 7:38 AM
Ephemeral said...: Pancakes--that would be good!

I agree with Jay's take on Finebaum. He is really mean-spirited at times. I don't like how he demeans sincere callers who did him the honor of calling into his usually-lame show. He can demean the hired village fools if he wants, but he should leave others alone. I do enjoy some of the interviews he does.

I think he and some of the political "entertainers" on the air have done a lot to coarsen public discourse. Demeaning, shouting, talking over other speakers. Just gets on my nerves.; 7:42 AM
