  3. Tyrik: What is the deal?

  4. We still have a basketball team?

  5. His FB Status, which we all know you can take to the bank, especially on prior history, reads "I'm Done....I need a fresh start" I believe. People freaking out over it as always.

  6. Eddie - That sounds like the end of Auburn football to me.

  7. I have it. I turned the post into an image and was five seconds away from posting it.

    I think I'm going to hold off. I want to make sure it's not in reference to his ECON 101 class or his girlfriend or Modern Warfare 2.

  8. Scoats- I agree, but this is the same guy that hinted that his playing time was near last season when everyone thought Todd was not going to make it again. It very well could be the end, and if it is, it is. It would not be surprising, but disappointing that he didn't stay and compete for the job.

  9. He finished his eggs and bacon... now he needs some fresh OJ.

  10. Wise move, I believe. It may just be that he's looking forward to the "fresh start" that spring practice will bring. Or maybe not.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I would hope he at least stays through the spring to compete. If, at that point, he sees it's a lost cause then I wish him the best.

  12. Scott, I cleaned up the confusion for you.

  13. Either way, I told you all yesterday that I thought Rollison was a non-factor in the long run.

    Looks like I was right.

  14. Scott Van Pelt says: "Hi, YouTube."

  15. That prank call was good. Funny that it made it that far.

    Rollison Express t-shirts on their way to Haiti or UNA? :)

  16. eddie...
    Please don't get a 'Cam Express' going. I want him to succeed!

    ReplyDelete
  17. ouch ehyou...I'll ride the Caudle Caboose then.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Eddie - just don't hitch your wagon to any other horses. That'd be great. Mkay?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Cam has 2 years left and Rollison 4, right? Seems like the perfect opportunity to develop & grow for 2 productive seasons of starting QB.

    ReplyDelete
  20. MW2, I only have 2 achievements left, but they're ultra tough.

    ReplyDelete
  21. ehyou - that's a great point. I hope that if there is a "fresh start" needed in terms of TR's football future, that will be it. I hope our talented (and high priced) coaching staff can coach up our kids in terms of long-term / big-picture thinking.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ehyou ... aside from the fact that Moseley has four years remaining and Trotter three.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The guy had to expect some competition...you would think.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I approve of Scott Van Pelt. Seems like a good dude.

  25. Tyrik's post has mysteriously disappeared.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Well check his status update now!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have to post this one.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Exactly. This one's definitely newsworthy, if not totally surprising.
