Your Friday Thread

Hey everyone. I am in Kentucky handling some family business, which means my ability to blog is essentially zero.

I'm on dial-up. Forgive the blog's rough appearance.

I'll soon begin writing a story for Sunday about the Tigers' 2010 signing class. Should I deem it an overall success? Yeah, probably.

For the guy who emailed and ripped me for covering the "negative" news associated Marcus Lattimore, let me break some news: The sun doesn't shine every day. Look out the window.

Feel free to comment about whatever strikes your fancy.

Have a nice day.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: y'all should also check out Harrison's new facebook status. I can't wait to hear Michael's response.; 1:53 PM
Harrison said...: hoe come none of you guys won't be my friend on facebook or follow me on twitter, or come to my house?; 1:54 PM
Norm said...: Because you're a witch/warlock.; 2:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison, I should unfriend you on facebook for that lack of acknowledgement. But I won't give you that satisfaction. I'll be over tonight. Let's have hot dogs & burgers.; 2:04 PM
Miller said...: I didn't know you were a twit(terer), Harrison. What's your twit id?; 2:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 55 posts the entire National Signing Day in '08.

Absolutely no newsworthy items today (other than Harrison's facebook status) and we're up around 250 posts.; 2:06 PM
Miller said...: I asked for nominations for a new avatar a few days ago. So far I have recieved 0. I guess everyone likes the Hoff.; 2:08 PM
Miller said...: What is harrison's fb status? He apparently isn't my friend there.; 2:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: sorry, D.Miller. I am Harrison's only FB friend.; 2:12 PM
Harrison said...: Well, THT and some models, but that's it; 2:14 PM
Harrison said...: THT- all out of burgers and dogs. Do you like cabbage?; 2:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison - if you'll run your lawn mower over it and turn it into cole slaw.; 2:16 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Harrison, I heard THT was starting an all-mushroom diet.; 2:19 PM
ehyou said...: harrison...
I searched for harrison on FB and got "about 270,000 results". It's going to take me a while to sort through those for Ron Burgandy's pic.; 2:19 PM
Harrison said...: That's even better, i can get tons of from people's lawns in my neighborhood; 2:20 PM
Anonymous said...: With the way things are looking, may not see grass here until August.; 2:22 PM
ehyou said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 2:23 PM
Harrison said...: Don't bother looking for me. I am on Facebook Elite, reserved only for wealthy, good looking people, that are tall and tan and good at sports.; 2:24 PM
Harrison said...: ehyou. i can't look at facebook stuff at work...plus I'm not really on facebook (don't tell the others, especially THT); 2:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: it's going to be a looooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg search; 2:25 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Wow, ehyou! Harrison looks different without his blazer.; 2:32 PM
Jet said...: I hate flying.; 2:38 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: they've certainly taken all the fun out of it, Jet.; 2:39 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: You are no longer deserving of that name.; 2:40 PM
Anonymous said...: PF ..sorry, but we can't rate you as a punk.

I'm sure you wish you were still young and stupidly brash enough to rate a punk, but alas life has smacked you and imparted wisom that holds you back just enough from punkdom.

Besides you are married now and punkishess would cost you a fortune.; 2:42 PM
Harrison said...: i hate it too, but I hate it because i always feel like I am going to die; 2:42 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: a jet that hates flying is a fast bus.; 2:43 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Sweet. So does that mean I can frolic on your lawn?; 2:44 PM
michael said...: Oh hai guys; 2:50 PM
Seanzie said...: *Caution Sarcasm Ahead.

JGT, I thought you were a homer? Why would you go cover negative news?

You must be one of them Bammers in the Alabama media.; 2:51 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: hey boxhead and Michael; 2:52 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Joy .... Pain ...

Sunshiiiine ... Rain....; 2:55 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: The light/fan fixture in my room has 3 bulbs, I always like to wait till all 3 go out before I replace them so I'm not constantly replacing bulbs. Typically they go out pretty close to each other. But I've been living with only 1 light for about 2 months now.; 2:59 PM
Harrison said...: USC-California got a verbal today...from a 13 yr old QB.

http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2010/02/05/report-david-sills-13-year-old-commits-to-usc/; 3:02 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Wake, there's got to be some sort of recruiting analogy there, but my brain is already in Friday shut-down mode, so I'll let somebody else try to figure it out.; 3:04 PM
michael said...: Has Norm's kid committed to Auburn yet?; 3:04 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Harrison, I think jhag scooped you on that one. Get some!!!; 3:05 PM
Harrison said...: dang..i don't go back and read all you guys crappy comments. I am waayyy too busy for that; 3:05 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 3:06 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Harrison, your comment was just a little less crappy than jhag's original, so I actually looked at the link this time.; 3:12 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I read somewhere that Aairon Savage was granted a 6th year of eligibility.; 3:14 PM
michael said...: When I was 13, I already had 3 offers. Of course, the offers were from the chess club, a group of dudes into dungeons and dragons, and the lunch lady. The first two asked me to join their groups. I won't say exactly what the last one offered.; 3:15 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: WEG, no I'm not a friend of Jay on FB. Actually, I have no Hotties as friends on FB.

Well, it's time to go to Best Buy for a Wii (not my idea) and then to Margarita Grill for some queso! Enjoy the rest of your Friday, Hotties and War Eagle!!; 3:16 PM
Seanzie said...: Savage getting a sixth year means we actually have a nickel who has some experience.; 3:16 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: an extra serving of gravy?; 3:16 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: THT, you are making Harrison's crappy posts look better.

Btw, latest reports are that Aairon Savage has been granted a sixth year of eligibility.; 3:18 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: I read somewhere once. And that was the end of that.; 3:19 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Hey, speaking of SteveFL, how is he going to Oregon? I thought he never went more than five miles from his house?; 3:20 PM
michael said...: What do you guys think of the BC coaching situation?; 3:22 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I heard BC was going to grant a 13 year old a sixth year of eligibility.; 3:24 PM
Harrison said...: the lunch lady offered Michael a quarter to rub her bunions ($1 to Christmas Vacation); 3:25 PM
IV said...: SteveFL is going to Oregon in his mind, no wait that's Arizona isn't it?; 3:25 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: ...or maybe it was six year old getting a 13th year of eligibility. There's so much news today that it's hard to keep up.; 3:25 PM
IV said...: Can't be Carolina, he is already there.; 3:26 PM
Harrison said...: 3 friends and I signed up to play in a golf tourney tomorrow a few weeks back. Now they won't let us back out, it was a way better idea 2 weeks ago; 3:29 PM
Seanzie said...: I don't know if anyone saw this but Tubby hired Ensminger to his Texas Tech staff.

Comments?; 3:29 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: On Michael's Facebooks page, it says the offer was for "onions", not "bunions".; 3:31 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Apparently, "Facebook" now has a plural.

Sean, you are an idiot.; 3:33 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: No, IV, he's in South Carolina, home of sandlappers. There is only one true Carolina.; 3:33 PM
Seanzie said...: Scott, those comments are out of the scope of the question. Please stay on topic.; 3:33 PM
weagle251 said...: I can't seem to get the Auburn Everyday link for the Signing Day footage to work. It just finishes loading the Silverlight app, and the media player remains black. Has anyone else had this problem?; 3:35 PM
Harrison said...: yuck, onions are even grosser..or more gross; 3:35 PM
IV said...: Don't tell the gamecockers that THT.; 3:36 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: He also has lunch lady written as lunch "lady" for some reason.; 3:37 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I thought the same thing, SC, but people have been calling me names, so I didn't comment on it. I'm trying to keep my negative comments neutral.; 3:39 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: weagle, did you try watching it on the auburntigers.com website?; 3:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'll tell everyone of those arrogant pretenders, IV.

As was said in the 19th century, our state is a veil of humility between 2 mountains of conceit.; 3:40 PM
weagle251 said...: SC, with the little embedded player? Yeah, but it does nothing when I click on the Play icon.; 3:41 PM
Scott Coats said...: I hear Facebooks is the 3rd most popular site on the internets.; 3:41 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: PF - neutral? that sounds interesting. Do you do that by making the comments positively negative?; 3:43 PM
michael said...: You guys don't see my facebooks. If so, you would have commented on my celebrity doppleganger picture: Clint Howard.; 3:43 PM
michael said...: weagle, I have the same problem. But I can never get page 2 to work, so what do I know?; 3:44 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Yeah, weagle, that's what I was talking about. I just suggested that because it didn't show Silverlight loading when I played it there, like it did on the CBS site.; 3:44 PM
Harrison said...: Michael I always pictured you as that big mean guy from Happy Gilmore that beats Shooter's ass; 3:47 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Clint Howard looks really cool with that big red "M" on his bare chest.; 3:50 PM
michael said...: You talking about the guy with a nail in his head? Yes, actually I do look quite a lot like him. Maybe a cross between him and Janis Joplin.; 3:53 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: take another little piece of my heart now, baby; 3:55 PM
Harrison said...: Yeah that guy. Mainly because you said you were pretty tall and pretty ugly...right?; 3:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Hottie Ladies & Gents. I declare it time for me to prepare for rapid departure a la casa.

ostalawinnebago; 3:56 PM
michael said...: Right, Harrison. And I have a nail in a my head.; 3:57 PM
michael said...: Someone notify the authorities! THT stole a winnebago!; 3:57 PM
michael said...: OK people, it doesn't take that long to notify authorities.; 4:05 PM
Harrison said...: I wrote them a letter Michael, but i didn't have any stamps, so it will go out on Monday; 4:07 PM
michael said...: Harrison, you aren't thinking clearly. What you do is write the "to" address as yours, and the "from" address as the authorities, and then find an old used stamp and put it on there, and then write "return to sender" on it. Works like a charm!; 4:20 PM
Harrison said...: You're really smart Michael, but i got around the problem by just drawing a picture of a stamp on the envelope.; 4:21 PM
michael said...: What did you draw? Hopefully a commemorative Elvis stamp.; 4:28 PM
michael said...: Or maybe Sacagawea. Yeah, she'd be good to draw too.; 4:34 PM
Harrison said...: I drew the new Bigfoot stamp; 4:36 PM
michael said...: I hope it was an action shot of him eating a human next to a winnebago that may or may not have been stolen.; 4:38 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Don't forget to draw in the beef jerky.; 4:41 PM
michael said...: Silly SC, the beef jerky stuff is a myth.; 4:44 PM
Harrison said...: THT first victim of a bigfoot attack, but hey, at least it proves there's some bigfeet or bigfoots out there; 4:44 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Pffft, like winnebagos are real.; 4:46 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I wonder if THT tasted like ice cream or tar?; 4:48 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: So if anyone wants to check out that 7'1 kid I held to 7 points a few weeks ago he's playing on ESPNU right now. Jay Tate your potential next star at UK Brandon Knight plays at 7 tonight as well he only had 35 on us; 4:49 PM
michael said...: Well lets not jump to conclusions, fellas. Certainly more people than THT have stolen Winnebagos. Let's hope it was one of them.; 4:59 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I'm leaving to look for the Winnebago. Please notify the authorities if I'm not back in a few days.; 5:06 PM
michael said...: K. When we notify the authorities then, I will be sure to have Harrison make the stamp a drawing of you being eaten by bigfoot. Or maybe he can shake it up a little bit and show bigfoot clobbering you in the head after a short foot chase.; 5:09 PM
Unknown said...: Quote from the local news up here "Without Atlanta, Georgia would be Alabama."; 5:11 PM
Harrison said...: I think SC will be molested by the bigfoot; 5:11 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Longest.Puppet.Hour.Ever.

I think it started sometime around 8am, and it's still going on.

Get some!; 5:12 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Changed my mind. No longer interested in the Winnebago. That Bigfoot character sounds a little sketchy (which will be good when Harrison draws him). I'm going to buy beer instead.; 5:16 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 5:23 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Actually I think most big foot sightings involve copious amounts of alcohol. So if your really trying to avoid big foot, you might want to stay away from the beer.; 5:25 PM
Unknown said...: I don't think that's an option Wake. We'll just have to learn to coexist with them.; 5:32 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: after I got home i called the authorities and told them someone left a stolen winnebago in my driveway. They hauled it off to test for DNA or prints. I drove home inside a plastic garbage bag, so I'm safe. But I should have gotten a bag that wasn't already have full of garbage.; 5:35 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: Ciao Hotties!

Thank y'all for the birthday wishes on the previous page. I'll be 26, or so i'm telling everyone.

THT- you and your wife need to get on google.; 5:43 PM
FSJ said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 5:52 PM
FSJ said...: Let's try this again..

Happy Birthday THT 2.0; 5:53 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I told someone "tu muerte" today in a road rage incident after making a Gilbert Arenas like gesture towards him. He was yelling at me in Spanish, a langage which I know about 20 words in, so that was the only response I could come up with. Considering the area of town I was in, I'm luck to be alive.; 5:59 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: Thanks, FSJ.

Happy Birthday to you too; i'm sorry i missed it.; 6:05 PM
Norm said...: Happy Birthday 2.0; 6:16 PM
FSJ said...: How many consecutive episodes of Dora the Explorer can I watch tonight?; 6:22 PM
FSJ said...: Thanks 2.0; 6:24 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: what on earth is that FSJ?; 6:26 PM
IV said...: HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2.0 and you don't look a day over 25. Really , you only look like you are about 18.; 6:30 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: THT,

It's the best show ever. If I watched it more, I would've understood what that dude was yelling at me earlier.; 6:30 PM
FSJ said...: THT..

My three year old is addicted to Dora...and something called Wow Wow Wubbzy.; 6:31 PM
digger4au said...: Been gone most of the day but want to say Happy Birthday 2.0
We believe any thing you say 26 fits you.; 6:31 PM
Unknown said...: For Scott C and IV from Lubbock, I am flying to Oregon. It is a work thing. I hope that is sufficient to satisfy the peanut gallery.; 6:31 PM
IV said...: Ah, you are flying Southwest huh, complete with peanuts.; 6:32 PM
Unknown said...: Wrong as usual, IV from Lubbock.; 6:33 PM
IV said...: Have a layover in Lubbock do you?; 6:34 PM
CHB said...: I feel your pain FSJ, my FAUWG loves it. I feel she should master engrish before trying Mexican (sorry that was kind of racist I think...I meant Spanish).; 6:34 PM
digger4au said...: Southwest airlines now gives you 2 bags of peanuts.
New inticement, that plus you don't pay for luggage.; 6:34 PM
Unknown said...: Wrong as usual, IV from Lubbock.; 6:34 PM
IV said...: That is IV far from Lubbock to you.; 6:35 PM
Unknown said...: Wrong as usual, IV from Lubbock.; 6:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: stay away from Mt. Hood, SFC. People go there to die.; 6:37 PM
IV said...: Is Oregon within your 5 mile radius of home that you don't go beyond?; 6:38 PM
Unknown said...: It could be worse FSJ. It could be Barney.; 6:38 PM
CHB said...: or Yo Gabba Gabba; 6:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: How do you know he doesn't have a 2nd home in Oregon, IV?; 6:39 PM
IV said...: You are on top of things tonight THT.; 6:40 PM
IV said...: But how does he get from one home to another if they are more than 5 miles apart?; 6:41 PM
Unknown said...: I am with you THT. I was up there a few years back when those 3 hikers died. Also, I believe 3 more died up there earlier this year.

I have been up as far as Timberline Lodge. It is where those searches you see on TV originate from. I believe it was June when we went. We were in shorts. It was in the 70s in Portland. It was snowing at Timberline lodge and there was next to no visibility.

I went there in August once and the weather on mountain wasn't bad, but I am not anxious to go back.; 6:41 PM
IV said...: I know, by bus.; 6:41 PM
Unknown said...: IV from Lubbock, but a map.; 6:41 PM
IV said...: Is that but or butt?; 6:42 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I don't think IV is usually wrong. Occasionally, sure. Sometimes, maybe. Usually, that's a stretch.; 6:42 PM
Unknown said...: IV from Lubbock. I have already explained how I am getting there. You may want to take your medicine and re-read the blog before you assume room temperature.; 6:43 PM
IV said...: Thanks PF. You know genius when you see it.; 6:43 PM
Unknown said...: PF, IV from Lubbock is a serial liar so he his constantly wrong by definition.; 6:44 PM
IV said...: Okay Steve, that's enough. I have never called you a liar, so can it dude.; 6:45 PM
Unknown said...: Then stop the childish remarks.; 6:45 PM
IV said...: You the only one acting childish idiot.; 6:46 PM
Unknown said...: Ah, the serial liar returns.; 6:46 PM
CHB said...: I think SFC and IV should hug.; 6:47 PM
IV said...: I don't hug an a$$hole.; 6:48 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: You know that to be fact? dang.; 6:48 PM
Unknown said...: Strange, you would have so much in common.; 6:49 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: So, gays in the military?; 6:52 PM
Unknown said...: PF, way to political, but I do think that the don't ask, don't tell policy is one of the weirdest things I have ever heard of.

I also read an article today where the military is now providing the morning after pill in all the hospitals.

Both of those subjects are very touchy to many.; 6:55 PM
CHB said...: If you made the right decisions the night before then there would be not need for a pill on the morning after. Ignorance nor alcohol are excuses.; 6:58 PM
Unknown said...: Consider the application of the don't ask, don't tell policy to traffic laws. It would change the world:); 6:59 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: That subject's touchy to many? Really?; 7:00 PM
Unknown said...: Oh yea. I do think that medical science has allowed people to be more irresponsible, but that is about as far as I want to take that discussion.

So, who will be our long snapper next season?; 7:02 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: CH=B, do you feel the same way about birth control and condoms?; 7:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I would love a don't ask/don't tell policy in regards to my mph; 7:02 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I don't know about longsnapper, but I expect Cam Newton to be the holder on FGs and PATs after he loses to Kodi in the spring.; 7:05 PM
Fearless Freep said...: You know, if you repeat a word over and over and over again, after awhile it loses all semblance of meaning and becomes merely random syllables.

Lubbock. Lubbock. Lubbock. Lubbock. Lubbock.; 7:05 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, at one time I would have too. Years ago I traveled a lot, mainly in Alabama, Tennesse, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Just driving around town I have always been the slow poke, but give me interstate and I made time.; 7:05 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: me, too, THT. Got asked last night. I didn't tell, but that stupid box on his dash did. Freaking Panther crossing zones causing random and sudden 15mph fluctuations in the speed limit at night.; 7:08 PM
Unknown said...: Newton will be very interesting. I watched some of his play in the JCNCG. He looked okay as a passer, but any time Blinn got near the red zone, it seemed like he was read to run. If he can pass as good as Todd, he will be tough to stop. The guy doesn't run like a QB. He looks like a big version of Tebow carrying the ball.; 7:08 PM
CHB said...: PF, no I do not. One subject is showing some responsibility to prevent an "accident" the other tries to get rid of the accident.; 7:08 PM
CHB said...: On a different topic, here is one reason we recruited so well this year. The coaches did a wonderful job, but the fans helped a lot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8SlVfhrFc4; 7:10 PM
Unknown said...: PF, I hope I never again see Kodi throw a pass.; 7:10 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: you watched some of his play in that game? C'mon! You practically gave a tape delayed play by play of the game one night. Some. Nice.; 7:11 PM
Unknown said...: I also find Caudle interesting. He was suppose to be a big time recruit. So far his highlight film for his career at Auburn is pretty much that one 50 something yard run he had last season.

If Cam isn't the starter, I will be surprised. As for the others, I have no clue. Moseley, Trotter, Caudle, or Rollison may all have a shot if Cam isn't the guy.

As for Kodi, I have no idea where he can contribute this coming season. We are loaded at receiver. I suppose we could use a 4th string tailback.; 7:12 PM
Unknown said...: PF, I think you are right. I do think I commented a lot on the first half.; 7:12 PM
Unknown said...: Nova, it wouldn't shock me if you never see Kodi get any more playing time. I hate it because he was very mature in the way he handled things last fall, but when you look at the talent at wide receiver, it is hard to see him in the playing rotation. As for wildcat, why would you need a wildcat QB if your starter is 250 pounds and runs like a tail back?; 7:15 PM
Unknown said...: I think they'll find a way to continue to use Kodi. He made himself a hero with that speech and I don't think that ends with last season. The team needs Kodi to play a role, just not at QB.; 7:19 PM
Unknown said...: Perhaps, but I think it is the same reason that Hawthorne left the team. There just isn't enough balls to go around with the receivers we have. The last count I did, we had 13 receivers. That may have been before hawthorne left, but includes the 4 signees in this class.; 7:21 PM
Unknown said...: I also wonder if that QB we lost to Ole Miss will end up being their starter. I think his name was Ray Cotton, but my memory isn't what it once was.; 7:23 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: My completely unbased speculation is that Kodi and Tyrik split time as the Wildcat, and that formation continues to be part of Gus's playboook.

I don't care what you guys say, I think Kodi threw at least one TD pass in the Outbacok bowl. Unfortunately, the defense wanted the ball more and made big plays (I'm not willing to say both could have been TDs, but you put the right receivers in those routes and both have a chance).; 7:24 PM
CHB said...: I think Kodi will be a much improved WR this year. We really need someone that can run the ball to use in the wildcat.; 7:25 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Cotton has a good chance to be the starter for the Rebs from what I've read (which isn't much).; 7:27 PM
Unknown said...: I suppose a wildcat QB could come in to give Newton a break, but I do think there are others that might be better at it.

It is not nearly so clear this year what will happen past the starter, which I would be shocked if it wasn't Newton.

As for Rollison, he is a huge question mark in my book. There is a reason he wasn't recruited by any other big name schools. I am afraid we will see why.; 7:30 PM
Unknown said...: Long ago I watched film on Cotton and he did remind me a bit of Campbell. Until a QB plays in college, you really can't tell, though. See Neil Caudle:) He was suppose to be good.; 7:31 PM
Unknown said...: Didn't Ole Miss graduate almost their entire offense, like 8 starters or something like that?; 7:34 PM
Unknown said...: Newton wouldn't have been recruited if Gus didn't see him as the likely starter. There's no other reason to spend a scholarship on a JuCo QB.

That doesn't mean the fix is in, but he's got the talent and the most experience.

Kodi did have a some good passes and he had some very bad ones. Overall, I've been underwhelmed by his QB play.; 7:36 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Complete offensive overhaul, yes, including coaches. Look for them to suck.; 7:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "graduate" might not be the best choice of verb, SteveFC, but yes, 8 offensive starters from Ole Miss have completed their eligibility.; 7:38 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: simply amazing. No news at all today, and we're closing in on another page flip.; 7:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: http://bit.ly/9mXfSM

Jon Solomon of the B'ham News compiled a list of where all the SEC signees are from:

Georgia: 65
Florida: 46
Mississippi: 37
Alabama: 36
Louisiana: 19
South Carolina: 17
Texas: 15
Tennessee: 12
Arkansas: 8
California: 8
Virginia: 6
North Carolina: 5
Ohio: 5
Oklahoma: 5
Kentucky: 4
Kansas: 4
Maryland: 3
New York: 2
Missouri: 2
Illinois: 2
Pennsylvania: 1
Connecticut: 1
New Jersey: 1; 7:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: It's a bit misleading since we are listed as having 2 California signees. However, they are both JUCO; one hails from Minnesota, the other from Louisiana (I think); 7:45 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: from same article, Jon Solomon shows this tally for Auburn:
Auburn Tigers
Alabama: 11
Georgia: 8
Florida: 3
California: 2
Arkansas: 2
Missouri: 1
Mississippi: 1
South Carolina: 1
Kansas: 1
Texas: 1
Louisiana: 1

TX signee is from GA;
Kansas signee is from GA; 7:50 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ok, I've run out of material.

Let's go back to the BC coaching situation and discuss how it has been effected by Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Chrome web browser.; 8:01 PM
Unknown said...: I like seeing us recruit on a national scale. We will always have to do good in Alabama and Georgia, but picking up top players from other states is a great sign.; 8:01 PM
Norm said...: Oh, for the love of Mike.; 8:09 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: That's pretty interesting. I expected more from Florida.; 8:09 PM
Unknown said...: We can't leave it this close. Where's norm?; 8:09 PM
Norm said...: I know it's slow; 8:09 PM
