Big Cat Weekend rides again

Hey everyone. Auburn will reprise its Big Cat Weekend extravaganza in May.

What is Big Cat Weekend? Surely you jest.

It's only a glitzy enterprise that involves a slew of top recruits making mass unofficial visits. Auburn created the event in 2009, which led to some strikes and gutters.

Strikes: Several of those attendees signed with Auburn.

Gutterballs: Several coaches committed secondary violations during BCW.

I am here at the Athletic Complex. I will be talking with people about this situation within the hour. As always, I'll pass along what they say.

Have a nice day.

  4. I didn't post this earlier because I was anticipating some FRESH substancio, but it's been delayed.

    I had to run it.

  7. Mr Tate - ask if the public is invited ;-)

    is it kosher for them to actually announce BCW?

  8. Romeo & Juliet Dire Straits

  9. The dice was loaded from the start ...

  10. that's my 2nd favorite DS song. The first being Skateaway.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I like Tunnel of Love and Money..

    ReplyDelete
  12. Brothers in Arms is epic.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Is it possible for "Return to Big Cat Weekend" to recapture the magic? I wonder.

    In a completely unrelated note, if you've ever listened to a small child tell a story, then you owe it to yourself to read Axe Cop

  14. I like "Down By The Waterline" and "Telegraph Road", among others.

    ReplyDelete
  15. "Brothers In Arms", too.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Let's face it, they're all good.

    ReplyDelete
  17. "I can't wait
    to secondarily violate"

    one of my favorite jetisms ever

    ReplyDelete
  18. Skateaway is tops.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I once replayed Romeo & Juliet for almost an entire flight from London. I'm guessing at least 60 times. I still like the song.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oops, "Down to the Waterline", not "by".

    ReplyDelete
  21. Jay G plays the movies all night long.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think Romeo & Juliet took on a whole new meaning when the Indigo Girls did it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I love the guitar sound effect at the end of
    "I swear she let a big truck grease her hip"

    ReplyDelete
  24. From what I understand, we signed nearly half of the players that showed up for Big Cat Weekend last year, so this is a very big deal.

    ReplyDelete
  25. weagle...
    Indigo Girls? Really? I'm going to pretend I didn't read that and I still don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Beginning to think that I'm wastin time
    don't understand the things I do.
    The world outside looks so unkind....

    (as we continue a trip through iTunes)

    ReplyDelete
  27. So, should we ground Trooper now, or wait until after BCW?

    ReplyDelete
  28. I just remember hearing it on a local station years ago and thinking, "Damn, this song just became about a bulldyke that lost a lipstick to an old boyfriend." Harsh!

    ReplyDelete
  29. You can't ground Trooper, he's recruiting TNT!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I say we let Trooper manage himself, Steve. Surely he's learned from his mistakes.

    ReplyDelete
  31. If the SEC and the NCAA don't tell us we can't do it again after this year, then we will have not done it well enough.

    ReplyDelete
  32. As long a there isn't an announcement at Toomer's and no public then we will be fine.

    "All right stop collaborate and listen
    Ice is back with my brand new invention
    Something grabs a hold of me tightly
    Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
    Will it ever stop yo I don't know
    Turn off the lights and I'll glow
    To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
    Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
    Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
    I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
    Deadly when I play a dope melody
    Anything less than the best is a felony
    Love it or leave it you better gain weight
    You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
    If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
    Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

    ReplyDelete
  33. Just remember, we had a top five recruiting class with one Trooper in time out. This year should be even more interesting.

  34. New video of Auburn Arena:

  35. Rats. I have to work the Friday night of BCW and I won't be able to get there for it. :-(

    ReplyDelete
  36. Just like in hockey, you gotta spend a little time in the penalty box.

    ReplyDelete
  37. ok, we're still cruising through iTunes. Y'all can ask Cincy for help on this one...


    Light that came from everywhere drove shadows from the room.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I read where 10 current players (who have yet to enrol) want to be a part of it again.

    ReplyDelete
  39. The best explanation ever was when Vanilla Ice tried to explain that his track had a slight "symbol" change from under pressure.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Um, Vanilla Ice? Man, we need to hire a music consultant for HABOTN.

    ReplyDelete
  41. SteveFC - nice. Dolly did a cover. My iTunes is the original by Don Francisco.

    ReplyDelete
  42. THT @ 3:57,

    Is that Dobie Gray? Smooth!

    ReplyDelete
  43. That Vanilla Ice interview clip is classic, CH=B

    ReplyDelete
  44. "Ninja Rap" is easily one of the best songs ever, featured in one of the greatest films of all time, "Ninga Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze".

    ReplyDelete
  45. Could someone please give me the lyrics to Ice, Ice, Baby?
    What's that?
    Oh, nevermind.

    ReplyDelete
  46. yes, Weagle. I have a re-recorded version that is absolutely fantastic.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm thinking the authorities at AU ought pipe in the Motor City Madman's "Cat Scratch Fever" during pregame.
