Hey everyone. Just a quick update that Tyrik Rollison's father, Michael Kelly, told Jeffrey Lee over at AuburnSports.com that a transfer to Sam Houston State is imminent.
I have a call in to Kelly as well.
Rollison, as you'll recall, was the presumed crown jewel of Auburn's 2009 signing class. He ran into trouble in November, though, and was suspended indefinitely prior to Auburn's game in the Outback Bowl. Rollison didn't make the trip to Tampa. He won't make any trips now.
Sam Houston State has seen this before. Former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar, who was busted in a pay-for-play scam, played for the Bearkats in 2007 and '08. He was selected in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He plays for the New York Giants.
Auburn now has four scholarship quarterbacks on the roster:
Neil Caudle, senior
Cam Newton, junior
Barrett Trotter, sophomore
Clint Moseley, redshirt freshman
UPDATE @3 p.m. CST: I spoke briefly with Rollison's father, who was far more reluctant to talk than I expected. ``I wouldn't say it was an easy decision. It was tough, but it was time to move on," Michael Kelly said. After that, though, Kelly said he'd have no additional comment.
quiter!
ReplyDeleteYOu're all quitters!
ReplyDeleteDang it, jhag! I quit!
ReplyDeleteand quitter
ReplyDeleteTyrik Rollison= Monica
ReplyDeleteI'm done
ReplyDeleteSnort. You RAWK.
ReplyDeleteAnd evidently so is my avatar. WTH?!?!
ReplyDeleteThere are all sorts of possibilities for J-Z's Ring of Fire over on the HQBOTN.
ReplyDeleteI've said it before and I'll say it again, I will not allow the actions (or inactions) of 17 - 20-something young men negatively impact my life. I changed my mind plenty during those years on many things. Some of those things I now sometimes I wish I'd done differently but that's water under the bridge. The only time I expect to be impacted by the decisions or actions of a boy that age will be in 14 some years when F4* gets to that age. Until then, I'll root for these kids to win every game while wearing AU.
ReplyDeleteLOL Jhag - that was classic - followed closely behind by JGT.... You bunch of quitters
ReplyDeleteUpon the arrival of Cam,
ReplyDeleteit was time to go to Sam.
Let's all admit wrong and confess,
that we were hasty with the Rollison Express
Please wish Tyrik all the best,
as he flies from War Eagle's nest.
Most of all, don't be bitter
and call him a quitter.
Monica is going to play QB for SHSU?!
ReplyDeleteMonica is more like Marco Killingsworth. I'd compare Tyrik to that guy who called Sean an idiot.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to monica anyhow?
ReplyDeleteu guys r 2 funny.
ReplyDeleteShe went to the dark side - Alabama Booster now......
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Tyrik. I do hope he does well and I don't think we have the full story. The reason for the suspension would be interesting, although I do think ChizCo is correct in not disclosing it. Young kids like this don't deserve the full cavity search on everything they do while in college.
ReplyDeleteThink she's stuck in the snow in West freezinVA
ReplyDeleteSo, the question is, how many QBs does Kodi have to wack to get back into the QB competition?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this is a good thing. It frees up some room for stud QB in this upcoming recruiting class.
ReplyDeleteWe were definitely going after one QB in this next recruiting class. This may mean they will try to sign two.
ReplyDeleteSteveFC = Funny
ReplyDeleteLove the Kodi comment.
I believe that answer is now 4, Steve.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Tyrik Rollison. Hope you find what you are looking for. You have made a decision right or wrong it is yours and you are the one who will have to live with it. I hope for your sake it was the right one.
ReplyDeleteHello Arky QB and QB from one of the Gwinnett Schools.
ReplyDeletePS, I still think Moseley has HUGE upside.
Possibly more.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping Tyrik's decision was based on seeing Cam practicing and realizing he wouldn't play for two years.
ReplyDeleteKodi for QB 2010!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI assume that TR's scholarship slot is unusable for the 2010 season (even if we could find substance/quality to fill it at this point). Is that an accurate assumption?
ReplyDeletejhag & jtate crack me up.
ReplyDeleteWriter Tate - please let TR's dad know we wish them the very best.
Lowcountry, unless we loose another QB, I don't see a need for another QB. Four is a good number considering none of them are incoming Freshmen.
ReplyDeleteI do find it ironic that the hype over Rollison was similar to the hype over Kodi. In both case I think people got ahead of themselves with expectations.
Even Newton may not be everything we hope. I hope that he is, but you never can tell. Playing in JUCO has to be a lot different than playing in the SEC. He could likely outrun anyone his size in JUCO. In the SEC he will see players bigger than he is that can outrun him.
Lowcountry - I think we are full for the 2010 class. In fact, I'm not sure if we aren't still over the overall limit of 85 (assuming 25 of our 28 2010 signees enroll this fall).
ReplyDeleteAnybody got the latest permutation of our total current # of schollies that are in use?
I wish Tyrik well. He came to Auburn with good intentions, but things didn't work out for him there.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for spring practice to start.
THT, I agree. I hope Rollison does well. It may be that he needs a different environment.
ReplyDeleteTHT, we only signed 27. Chiz has one spot in his pocket.
ReplyDeleteI find it highly likely that we won't have 25 of the signees actually show up in the fall. You always loose some. We should be fine as long as that number doesn't drop drastically. The five signees that counted against 2009 meant a lot.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Eddie's comment earler.
ReplyDelete"Tyrik Rollison=Facebook Legend"
At least he made headway in one way or another at Auburn; both on facebook and at Skybar. As a redshirt Sophomore, I still have a year to make myself a facebook legend.
Also, thanks for the welcomes. This blog can usually produce a few good laughs, and insightful thoughts.
I think with Rollison gone now, and that extra spot from only 27 instead of 28 signees, we end up in perfect shape. No gray shirts needed.
ReplyDeleteSteve is right, sort of. 27 is the correct number. However, if at least 25 qualify, there ain't nuthin' in Chizik's pocket but a few million$
ReplyDeleteI've heard no confirmation that more than 2 would not qualify.
also a place for inciting thoughts
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Tyric. I hope SH State is a good fit and that he has a lot of success in the classroom and on the field.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle, all!
i retire
ReplyDeleteThat should have been Tyrik. I don't wish any success for Tyric.
ReplyDeleteI had so forgot about being Hawt, snorting and Rawking....thanks for the laugh Jay!
ReplyDeleteTyrik reminds me Lache.......maybe best they move on.
We can only enroll 25 this fall. Whether we sign 27,(the current number) pick up another to make it 28 signees or whatever, we still can enroll only 25 in school on scholarship this fall. If all 27 qualify, two will have to greyshirt or go elsewhere. I suppose the coaches have that handled.
ReplyDeleteThe 85 limit won't be a problem this fall. Minus Rollison and including all 25 new guys, we'll only have 87. At least two will drop out or transfer over the summer. Never fails.
That truly is the way to look at this. If Auburn wasn't the right place for Tyrik, Tyrik wasn't going to be the right player for Auburn. Hopefully it will work out best for both. Also, this will increase the number of reps the QBs that will be here will get in the spring, which works for me.
ReplyDeleteAs for the 25 versus 27 thing, it wouldn't shock me if there were more than 2 not qualify, although I think I have only heard of a couple that are border line. One is one of the DTs. I don't recall the other.
Last year we only got something like 18 or 19 of our signees actually on the team when the season began. You just never can tell what will happen.
Like I say, the 5 that counted against 2009 really mean a lot. I do believe we will be fine. Yea, if only 18 or 19 actually are on the team when the season starts, it would be a concern, but not nearly as much so as last season. I have never seen the type of depth issues we had last season on defense.
I am certain the coaches have already identified the potential gray shirts. We did sign a couple of lower rated last minute guys on signing day. I am sure that they were told that if....
ReplyDeleteExMike - thanks for that tally.
ReplyDeleteToo bad NCAA won't grant AU a slightly higher scholarship limit. If we could add 3, then when last available scholly is awarded, everyone could yell...
BEASLEY!!!
Too bad that it didn't work out for TR. I wish him well. Last August, Eduardo had convinced me to get my hopes up for the Express. In spite of his transgressions this past Fall, I felt that TR had tremendous promise. TR has a much better throwing motion and accuracy than Cam. Can Gus fix that with Cam? I sure hope so.
ReplyDeleteQuitter Shmitter...
ReplyDeleteJ-Z, if the quitters' blog isn't working out, you can always quit.
ReplyDeleteTyrik Rollison- We barely knew ye
ReplyDeleteI could be persuaded with some chocolate covered potato chips and bacon.
ReplyDeleteCan we rename her "Quitstina?"
ReplyDeleteGo out to work for a few hours and look what happens.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we get an announced clear winner at QB by the end of spring now. Maybe not. But it just got easier. I wish TR well at SHSU.
wtc, that ought to teach you not to do that again.
ReplyDeleteI was told yesterday that Eric Smith and Cam Newton were on a ustream talking and someone asked him how far he could throw the ball. He said that with a 5 step drop no one on the team is fast enough to catch the ball before it hits the ground.
ReplyDeleteThat work thing is over rated anyway. However, AU wants tuition money and my wife is high maintenance so I have to work.
ReplyDeleteIf WTC quit working, the sofa industry would collapse. Rooms to Go would have to file for Chapter 11 immediately.
ReplyDeleteGood news ....Eddie over at HSHSUBOTN has agreed to purchase the remaining Rollison Express gear and heisman campaign marketing material.
ReplyDeleteSo, what do you guys think Auburn's chances are tonight? Or, is it just a guessing game with them these days?
ReplyDeleteI say they win tonight, based on no real knowledge. That's why I'm Ephemeral.
ReplyDeleteSo any conjecture as to why he took down the facebook posts? If he's leaving at the end of the semester does the Athletic Dept. hold any continuing leverage over him?
ReplyDeleteAdded to the blog front:
ReplyDeleteUPDATE @3 p.m. CST: I spoke briefly with Rollison's father, who was far more reluctant to talk than I expected. ``I wouldn't say it was an easy decision. It was tough, but it was time to move on," Michael Kelly said. After that, though, Kelly said he'd have no additional comment.
I still don't think Rollison does this if the coaches didn't make it clear that he was way behind on the depth chart in the future. It just doesn't make sense. He would have a great shot at starting as a Junior. At the very worst, it wouldn't hurt to wait another year before he transfers. He must have really pissed them off.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what happened, but all of a sudden when I refresh the blog, I don't end up at the top of the page! Life's little victories.
ReplyDeleteObviously, playing football is more important than being part of the Auburn football team. But, that's ok. Not everyone is Auburn material.
ReplyDeleteIf someone told me I would never do any actual engineering at my job, but just practice engineering and watch others to the real engineering, I would switch jobs too. But then again, I may not be an Auburn Man, so I probably do a lot of things cowardly/like a quitter and so on.
ReplyDeleteThere were some notable prospects here today. Some dude from Gadsden ... among others.
ReplyDeleteEphemeral ...
ReplyDeleteclap. clap. clap.
Jay G ...
ReplyDeleteThrowin' out the Faker bait.
Eddie ...
ReplyDeleteThat is good news ... you may be able to finance some of the Mickey Mouse ears ice cream bars for the kids with the proceeds.
I just saw those kids in the hallway. If they're talking to Trooper, I figure I'd better pay attention.
ReplyDeleteStill missed the names. I'm a failed bloggist.
I think he is quitting but not in a completely bad way. He is quitting on Auburn and running from the competition. At least he is going to another school where he can get his degree. I can't say I blame him. Like others have said, if I wasn't going to get a promotion at work then I would move on. This doesn't make Tyrik a bad person, but he is quitting.
ReplyDeleteI would like to help you JGT but I don't know any players from the Gasden area that are high on the recruiting list or haven't already signed.
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 or 3 out of that area that are going to be highly rated this year, but I don't know their names off the top of my head.
ReplyDeleteAnthony Swain is his name. He plays safety.
ReplyDeleteMichael, what I meant is that some people just want to play football. Some people want the Auburn experience.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but some people might want to get the Auburn experience AND play football, but they are forced to choose. I am sure it is not an easy decision.
ReplyDeleteThe question that begs to be answered is why did he decide to transfer now, right before spring practice. There is more to this due to the timing.
ReplyDeleteAs for Tyrik, I hope je rolls on and does great things. He was a big help to Auburn in recruiting last year and that deserves to be mentioned.
Eddie, I get the feeling the coaches didn't want him. I too think the timing is strange.
ReplyDeleteMichael- agreed, or it is a grade issue that apparently is not getting any better.
ReplyDeleteMichael's and Eddie's speculations above seem the most logically plausible. ...or he could be homesick.
ReplyDeleteMaking the decision prior to even competing in spring practice is significant.
JG ..don't be so hard on yourself.
ReplyDeleteIn order to know all those names would require stalking. Stalking leads to sympathetic fandom. Becoming an AU fan would ruin your objectivity, which you make you a poor bloggist.
It's a conundrum ..I tell ya.
Grades are an important part of this. It's not often that you hear about quarterbacks with grade problems. Right?
ReplyDeleteall together now...
ReplyDeleteBEASLEY!!!
ReplyDeleteI finally got my interview with Malzahn.
ReplyDeleteI may or may not post some snippets tonight. I have a cold and feel ... less than stellar.
This Q and A will run in tomorrow's sections of the Advertiser. You'll have substance no later than tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning will be dandy, Homer. Get yourself some Tate'r soup and you'll feel better.
ReplyDeleteHe's a quilter?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that.
Oh, quitter.
Ah, good luck to the kid.
So is Eddie riding that Rollison Express to the HSHBOTN?
ReplyDeleteGood to know that the USA cheesed the Swiss, 2-0.
ReplyDeleteI watched the 3rd period of that game Jet. I miss hockey.
ReplyDeleteRK- Already moving the express West to Texas!
ReplyDeleteWow, at one school in Rhode Island, all the teachers and the principal got fired today. That's 88 people that lost their jobs due to poor performance of the students at the school. Seems harsh, especially considering i know that there had to be some teachers doing everything they could to help their students out. I think that has to be an over-reaction of epic proportions IMO.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, Eddie. I am still counting my blessings that I didn't buy that Lectron Williams t-shirt.
ReplyDelete"those just rip your heart right out of your stomach"
ReplyDeleteEddie Olzcyk, hockey analyst after Nabokov gave up a very weak goal near the end of the 1st period.
Canada 4 Russia 1 after 20 minutes
Apparently Tay is going off in Ox Vegas.
ReplyDeleteWaller has been on fire lately.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete5/6 from the 3 pt line, yeah that is kinda good.
ReplyDeleteIt's a dang good thing we can make some 3s, cause they aren't doing very well at setting up plays and getting the ball inside.
ReplyDeletey'all are talking crazy. There are only 1s in this game.
ReplyDeleteoh, y'all aren't watching hockey?
Canada 7 Russia 2 and the game isn't even half over.
Ok, now it's half over. 10 min to go in 2nd
Another great olympicism
ReplyDelete"skiing through this soupy soup"
Auburn 34 Ole Miss 22 at half time
ReplyDeleteVancouver games with yet another screw up, having to stop Mancusa b/c Vonn was down.
ReplyDeleteugh, and 18th place on the 2nd run instead of being in medal contention. That really stinks.
ReplyDeletei guess i should have said on her 2nd first run.
ReplyDeleteHigh errybody.
ReplyDeleteYeah she definitely got robbed.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have the biggest party Huntsville has ever seen, the day DeWayne Reed exhausts his eligibility.
ReplyDeleteTR's dads comments about him wanting to being closer to home and it was a hard decision to make, do not mesh with other things that are being said.
ReplyDeletethe timing of this is awful strange also.
This just doesn't go with what I hear, but who am I.
What are you talking about Pat, he is shooting 3/10 that is 30%, you don't get any better than that.
ReplyDeleteYou are WTC
ReplyDeleteToyota's marketing campaign to save face isn't all that convincing.
ReplyDeleteReed is a 30% career shooter for AU.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not, but it may not be a bad idea to keep an eye on their stock. They'll be back.
ReplyDeleteWow, we are a pretty bad 2nd half team.
ReplyDeleteKnox fouls out.
ReplyDeleteWERk-nothing new about that for this year
ReplyDeleteNo doubt they will recover, they are Toyota. But the commercial with the old couple saying they were handled great and will buy another one is pretty bad imo.
ReplyDeleteToyota is being raked over the coals by congress on CNBC one day right after another. They have major issues.
ReplyDeleteHaven't I seen this game before? I don't understand how they can play so great and then just FALL APART!!!
ReplyDeleteAm I a terrible fan if I already chalk this up to a loss?
ReplyDeleteNo your just a fan who has watched enough Auburn basketball to know what happens from here.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't give less than a tinker's damn about Toyota - I have always bought American and always will....
ReplyDeleteLT
Short track relay racing is crazy.
ReplyDeleteAlot of Toyotas are designed and built in America. Many American cars are not
ReplyDeleteCzech Republic vs Finland on CNBC
ReplyDelete0-0 nine minutes into 1st period
All cars are at least partially made overseas. You aren't helping anything by "buying American". Buy quality, which encourages quality.
ReplyDeleteAs for jobs going overseas, the government has the most say about that. Listen to the politicians and what they say that would encourage big business and rich people to invest in America. You will quickly see why jobs are headed overseas, just like a lot of my investments.
As for Auburn basketball, we must be right up there in the competition for the first half national championship. Does anyone know where we are ranked?
Nothing like giving up 63 in the second half.
ReplyDeleteWOW 63 IN THE 2ND HALF!??!!?!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThat's a freakin' 3-pointer a minute.
ReplyDeleteczechs spending much of the 1st period in the sin bin.
ReplyDeletevery lucky to be 0-0 with the Fins
Who would you think we would match up better against Jet?
ReplyDeleteWake ...
ReplyDeleteIf you mean the USA hockey team, I can't claim expertise.
If you mean AU basketball, I would say we might could handle a 5th grade team, but that's if Waller stays out of foul trouble.
63 in the second half? Ummm, that sounds almost impossible. Could we at least stand in front of them and slow them down a bit?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why I typed Jet, I meant to ask THT.
ReplyDeleteBut I got a nice chuckle out of your answer anyways. And I think we can all agree chuckles are a good thing. Not quite as entertaining as a guffaw but a little better than a chortle.
I understand the Czechs are good at checking, but the Finnish are tough at the end of games.
ReplyDeleteThats the kind of analysis you only get here on the HABOTN
ReplyDeletei hope we are presented an opportunity to bounce the czechs.
ReplyDeleteThe officials just went to the monitor and found 15 more points that Ole Miss scored.
ReplyDeleteThis is from Chris Low regarding TR.
ReplyDelete"Rollison was redshirted last season, but was suspended prior to the Outback Bowl. His father told ESPN's Joe Schad that the suspension was due to academics and that Rollison wasn't happy at Auburn. According to his father, Rollison also considered Texas Tech, but didn't want to have to sit out another season."
Eddies comment and JG's earlier "hint" regarding grades were on point.
Lebo: Awesome.
ReplyDeleteSorry you all can't see that.
This just in: Lebo hitchin' a ride with Rollison to Sam Houston State. Saw it on his Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the weird dark cloud that ticks from Lost is inhabiting Rollison's body. That may explain Sam Houston State
ReplyDeleteHe should have went to TTU!
ReplyDeleteTebow's over/under at the combine: 4.82
ReplyDeletefrom espn
also@schadjoe ESPN will televise Alabama's spring game on April 17 at 2 pm Central about 8 hours ago
maybe there will be another nba game go to 3ot before ahole-day this year. that really irked them that they were not on until almost halftime.
ReplyDeletelebo:awesome = jgt:suck (this is bizzaro logic)
lebo:suck = jgt:awesome (sorry, that was the answer we were looking for)
lebo can go be awesome at southwestern north dakota state technical college. it obviously ain't happenin' at AU.
i nominate u-haul to sponsor the rest of AU's basketball season.
ReplyDeletei just read the story on the bball game. 42-19 over the last 11:04 after leading by 14. awesome is not part of that conversation. ut and uk barely scored 42 through most of their game last week. lebo's d can give that up in 11 mins? were shooting 3s into their basket or something?
ReplyDeleteSupport your Tigers. LSU knocked off Bama and now they are coming after us.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Hotties! I am SO glad I don't have to work tomorrow! I get to sleep in! I may get up at 7:00 a.m., but that's sleeping in for me!
ReplyDeleteAnyone that had a lead like Auburn had a halftime and then loses by that amount didn't deserve to win. I'm glad I fell asleep right after halftime. Have you Hotties that have been following basketball ever seen a team that was so inconsistent??
morning hotties. decided to get to work 2 hours early to catch up! whew. just in case you didn't know, little league baseball season is heating up! if anyone needs jerseys or anything, holla! i can hook the hotties up!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I didn't watch the game last night. That is a sad statement, but one that I'm growing accustomed to during this Coach's era.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for spring practice and the QB race. Oh and I'm still not sold on Newton. I need some convincing.
Eddie, I hear ya - taking the wait and see approach this time!
ReplyDeleteI'm sold on his play on the field. The guy has an arm, and can obviously run. I'm not sold on his alleged rehabilitation. My fear is that he'll be a monster on the field, then do something that gets him suspended before a big game. The guy's not shy and is an outspoken leader. If he can stay healthy and out of trouble he may be solid.
ReplyDeleteSaying all this, note that I don't believe in football saviors. I'm not looking for the guy to be the next Vince Young, but just a solid QB who gives us a legit pass/run threat.
We'll have talent all over the field so Cam (or whoever is named) just needs to play his part.
Cam Newton Highlight film seems like JaMarcus Russell throwing the ball and Donovan McNabb running it. I hope it works out, but I'll wait and see how it looks when he is out there. It's hard to say that any of our signees are sure things until the get on our field and show their stuff.
ReplyDeleteLebo: Awesome.
ReplyDeleteSorry you all can't see that.
=======================
Is that tongue in cheek or are you serious?
I ask because lately I've been wondering if it's impossible for AU to be consistently good at BBall. I've never seen it. And when you're always bad you begin to wonder what's the common denominator...us. We've had some good teams, but it was always short-lived. So, I'm not sure if you're serious Jay, but if you are I'm sorta with you...
Jason- From following Jay for awhile and from previous comments, I'm pretty sure that it is tongue and cheek talk by Jay G.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that Eddie...it's hard to know for sure, but with some players you have a better idea of than others.
ReplyDeleteLike Julio Jones at Bama, you knew if the guy worked hard and stayed out of trouble, he was going to be good. Same with Trent Richardson. I felt the same way with Ronnie Brown as well. After watching him run up and down the field on my high school team in the 1999 GA AAA state championship game, my only consolation was that he was going to AU and he was going to be good.
Some players it doesn't take a genius to see that the only thing standing between them and greatness is themselves.
Jason- I think that is what happened to Rollison. The guy is talented as they come, but apparently he has issues to work out in order to allow him to be the football player he wants to be.
ReplyDeleteIf Cam turns out to be Jamarcus McNabb, I think we'll be happy.
ReplyDeleteI was too busy balling it up last night to see the game. I just have one question:
ReplyDeleteHOW IN HADES DOES AN SEC TEAM GIVE UP 63 POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF???????
I can't defend Lebo anymore, he HAS to go.
stupup, just what does "balling it up" mean?
ReplyDeleteStupup ...
ReplyDeleteOle Miss missed a layup at the buzzer to score 65. Not really.
Luv, some things are better left unsaid. Just sayin
ReplyDeleteYou can't quit Rollison.
ReplyDeleteKnow why?
You're fired, that's why.
Name change to Studup.
ReplyDeleteJGT's Malzahn interview for those too impatient to wait for the link on his new thread today.
ReplyDeleteSnowing like crazy for the first half of long commute today. Pittsboro (not Pittsburgh) getting dumped on. I regret that it will probably all be gone by the time I drive back through there this afternoon.
Nice article on Gus, JayG. Nothing like substance with your coffee!
ReplyDeleteFor you none-Gumrians, we have a magnet high school basketball team (Brewbaker Tech) here that has made it to the 4 A championship for the first time. What makes this really remarkable is that the school has no gymnasium.
Go, Brew Tech!
Thanks THT.
ReplyDeleteHomer Tater-Nice article. Wish you would asked him about the 'beat down' his wife and Mrs. Chizik gave fbomb after the IB.
Morning Hotties
ReplyDeleteI no longer live in Alabama so have no dog in the fight, but I've heard Ron Sparks on 3 different radio shows over the last few days and he hasn't been able to properly pronounce "statistics" yet. If I had a vote in the governor's race there, that would really get to me. But, it's frequently the little things like that which tend to annoy me more than anything else.
Norm-the line has been drawn in AL.
ReplyDeleteIt will hinge on if you support casino gambling or not support it. last election, every commercial for a candidate had a bible in it. This year, they all have a slot machine in it.
looks like i need a new cup of joe to enjoy my substance. i'll be back! ;)
ReplyDeleteDidn't they make a movie about Brewbaker Tech where they got a new principal and he disguised himself as a student in an effort to reform the rampant corruption?
ReplyDeleteGreat article, Jay. I like the fact that Gus realizes he has improvements to make and is working on doing that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, for the link THT.
Good morning,hotties. Exciting day of house cleaning, clothes washing, mending and paperwork today. But, tomorrow I get to go to Auburn!!
you going to the bkb game saturday Cincy?
ReplyDeletethey're honoring Frank Thomas, Bo Jackson, Gregg Olsen, & Timmy Hudson at the baseball game that day too!
wish i could make it. i wanted to go to one last game in the BEMC but since i have a new car payment i'm kinda out. bummer. have fun!!!!!!!
so, how many days til spring practice starts?
ReplyDeleteHey scottie b,
ReplyDeleteWe are going to the gymnastics meet Friday night, the baseball game Saturday afternoon and the basketball game Saturday night. I really want to stay and go to the women's basketball game on Sunday afternoon, but that may be pushing it.
I'm also going to pay a visit to the archives to see about some old b&w pictures of Auburn to use in the condo.
Awesome weekend!
cincy, i'm jealous.
ReplyDeletealso, let me know if you have a certain AU b/w player photo you're looking for. i've got quite the collection of large AU photos i can email you. :)
27 days until spring practice
ReplyDelete191 days until we tee it up for realz.
ReplyDeletethanks, ehyou. That's exciting.
ReplyDeletethanks, Norm. That's depressing.
Sounds like I made a good choice to not tune in to the 2nd half of the b-ball game last night. I knew it was over once AU got that double-digit 1st half lead.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I was starting to feel a little bit that way about 14 point leads in football at the end of last season.
ReplyDeleteLuv,
ReplyDelete"Balling it up" means I was playing basketball with my peeps after church last night.
'Balling it up' also implies that I was doing quite well in that activity, especially from beyond the 3 point line.
ReplyDeletescottie,
ReplyDeleteI think I am using mainly architectural details and some of the building photographs. I was thinking of doing a collage of different close ups of columns, letters, etc on some of the buildings around campus. And them some of the old scenes like The Bottle, Sani Flush, the old tennis courts that used to be where Haley now stands (that is where my in-laws met). Haven't quite decided, but thinking...Thanks for the offer! I may pick your brain for some ideas.
Ballin' can also be used in reference to just about any activity in which you excel or dominate your competition.
ReplyDeleteIt can also mean that you're cleaning up in the professional world or doin' well in general.
In big news today, The Coca-Cola Company has purchased the North American Operations of Coca-Cola Enterprises, the world's largest bottling operation. The North American bottling operation accounts for 80 percent of all volume sold in the US and Canada.
