More from Pro Day
After the "measurable" portion of the workout, players were sent outside to work position-specific drills. Some scouts take this stuff pretty seriously, but most simply watch while conversing with fellow scouts.
That's how they roll.
Of note:
**Ben Tate and Lester were put through drills by former Mississippi State coach Sly Croom, who now coaches with the St. Louis Rams.
**Tate still has that chip on his shoulder. ``I kept telling you all I was fast. I've been underestimated all my career. One day, the underdog will be on top."
**Lester was on the B.C. Lions practice squad last year and currently is attending Auburn to complete his degree. He's hoping to catch on with an NFL team this fall.
**McKenzie seemed disappointed by his set of numbers, which I thought were outstanding. ``I came here to put up numbers and I didn't get what I wanted."
**So why did McKenzie miss spring practice last year? ``Just stressing out. The season that we had (in 2008), I took it real hard. That last game -- I put it on myself, that the last game was my fault. I can’t do stuff like that. I can’t let stuff stress me out. I can’t let that happen again."
**Robert Johnson said he was inspired to jump back into pro football by his two young sons, who were running around the house in December with Johnson's old football helmets on their heads. ``I wanted to give them a chance to see what their dad could do on a football field."
**Johnson was on the New Orleans Saints' practice squad in 2006.
**Maurice Smith, the two-time Olympic decathlete, said he's hoping to catch on with an NFL team despite little experience. ``I played pick-up football with my friends in Arizona in junior college. I have speed and I have the hands." Smith won a silver medal at the 2007 World Championships and was Team Jamaica's captain in Beijing.
**McFadden was given his EAABWAA "Good Guy Award" plaque today:
**Here are your 40 times in order:
McFadden, 4.39
Billings, 4.42
Lester, 4.46
Gabe Barrett, 4.60
Maurice Smith, 4.69
Dunn, 4.70
Coleman, 4.72
McKenzie, 4.74
Todd, 4.84
Ricks, 4.95
Ro. Johnson, 5.01
**Here are your vertical jumps in order:

Billings, 34
Coleman, 33.5
Maurice Smith, 32.5

I just hope I don't flip my car in a creek.
Well done SC.
My brother lives down on the Cahaba. He's had geese floating through his yard before. Hopefully that's not happening right now.
.. of all time. Forgot to make that a full sentence. Upon further thought, its a perfect time for you to take the OV. You'll definitely get the works at the Rodeo, all the fraternities set up big trailers around the arena (where the actual rodeo part happens). Something I've learned in college is that you feel like your party experience multiplies while standing on a raised surface. Couldn't tell you why, maybe its the leprechauns?
I took way too long to write that. 10 extra posts, and no hopes of getting my first flip.
Yeah your right I was to excited while typing and didnt think it through
It was there for you, Wells! You don't often get a 3 minute window for a page flip.
I watched the three minute window go by and scoffed at it.
PF ... your PMarsh coffee table movie line was the home run on the hanging curve ball.
Jhag- the alpha psi rodeo is a good time. Usually super drunk by like 3 o'clock that day.
jhag's usually super drunk by 3 on any given day. Am I right people?
PF, did you also scoff at Norm's failure to climb through said window?
Of course, Norm is super drunk right now.
Work tends to get in the way. Like now - when I should already be away from my desk, I'm about to start a con-call with another California customer.
Though actually, I believe that when said window appeared I was actually chatting up a somewhat talented coworker.
I understand, Norm. if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers.
glad you appreciated it. jet. I knew someone would get it. I almost expected rebuke.
Old cuban couple in the beat up old Olds in front of me appear to be sharing a schwisher sweet (or related cheap cigar thing).
Talented coworkers make the workplace better. I don't have any of those. My boss is sexist, and even if she wasn't, she's not into talent. Oklahoma softball player type would be more likely.
I scoff at Norm often. Not sure if this was one of those situations or not.
I love how the Priuses are trying to kill their owners. The Matrix is real.
i caouldn't believe a Prius could go that fast. Must have put some super charged battery in it
Hump Day Puppet hour, benches.
HUMP DAY!!!!! AAAHHHH!!!!!
i mean...
PUPPET HOUR!!!! AAAHHHH!!!!!
michael- where were you yesterday when we needed you
Man, I was in an all day meeting. I saw that you got served by Forrest, though. Serves you right for picking on an Auburn Man like Dunn.
I'm really tired of ED commercials.
Are you sure you just aren't really tired of ED, PF?
Michael, I'm sick of your sarcastic tone about the tern Auburn man. I asked someone else, and they agreed it makes you a toad.
PF not only tagged the hanging curve ball ...he threw the pitch ...and this happened prior to puppet hour.
Nah, I'm alright with ED. I'm just too tired.
Dunn does not = Tate.
PF, I don't say "Auburn Man" with a sarcastic tone. It is more of a bewildered tone. Like when you apologize to your wife about your ED.
Looks like PF hung another curve ball.
Bullpen? ....get the lefty warming up.
i say "auburn man" then make a fart noise with my mouth.
Jay G, can you let PMarsh know the hotties have spoken, and we demand a coffee table movie about Auburn Coaches: Past and Present?
Speaking of things titled Past and Present, do the Authors not realize that the Present part of the story is going to become just Past eventuallym Past and less Past will be the subtitle to my history book when I find a topic.
Michael, we found the missing cat, sorry I accused you of feeding it to your goat/cat hybrid. I'm sure you understand
We've got a lot of tonic to sell and a lot of towns to visit... Frigid Falls, Mount Seldom, Lake Flaccid...
Actually Harrison, my goat cat hybrid did eat your cat. It's just that cats survive the digestion process in my hybrids. Sorry if I didn't make that clear earlier.
Hey, if you made a coat out of your goat/cat hybrid you could say your coat was made out of coat.
what does goat/cat hybrid cheese taste like? Do they chase strings and toy mice?
do you think i could sneak out for pizza and beers with my friends after my wife's acl surgery friday?
Did digital radio thing ever catch on? I heard th "channels between the channels" commercials all the time a few years ago, but have yet to see a billboard for 107.355 or 97.123.
Not only can you, Harry, you'd be a fool not to.
Why don't Toyota owners just throw the car in neutral? I've been waiting for weeks to see if that complex concept would surface
Harry ...give the attending nurse a fiddy to kept the meds coming and never be missed.
That's what they've been telling people to do. I think the Camry folks got it. It's the Lexus owners who have never driven a manual, therefore don't know what N is for, and the Prius owners who don't have half a brain between the lot of them that seem to be having the most problems.
I punched my horn once and it got stuck. Not dangerous but embarassing.
After she takes her meds: "Honey, I'm still trying to find the cat, remember?"
Incorrect, Harrison. Embarrassing is not the word, awesome is.
too many Prions in the Prius owners' brains, Hoopie.
Ugh. I hate the sound of a beeping horn. It makes me want to rip the offender's tonsils out.
what if it's one long continuous beep until you can get home and fix it. then is it funny?
Bank of America cut some ladies power, padlocked the door, and took her parrot in a foreclosure repo....only they had the wrong house. Classis.
Story on wsj.com
In Soviet Russia, horn honks you.
we've banked at Wachovia (now part of Wells Fargo) for decades. They've gone down the toilet in the past 2 years. Are there any good banks left?
Homer's future ESPN compatriot Chris Low, seems to understand Ben Tate's attitude. Low has a nice article describing how Tate uses the underdog role for motivation.
So ...the ESPN reporter for the SEC thinks Tate looks for and relishes the underdog role as motivation and the AU sidewalker fan calls Tate a whiner.
Which of those 2 fellows is more credible and which is a media wannabe?
I just checked google maps for banks in our area. I think I'll open up a checking account at the UNC Blood Bank.
There are some really awesome local private banks down here, THT. Lydian is probably the best of them. The service is throwback, and the rates are pretty good.
We also bank with Regions and Wachovia. I think Regions is generally pretty decent. Wachovia is constantly trying to sell me something.
PF - we're a big company all things considered. My specific building has around 2,500 people working in it. There's a pretty sizable talent quotient here. I don't mind coming to work.
Ouch, Hoopie.
Low is just a blogger, anyway. I read his stuff and all, and think he does an okay job covering the SEC, but he's not what I think of when I imagine a well polished journalist.
Besides, I think it's good when people have opinions, and don't just pull punches when they go back and look at someone who ended up having a wrong opinion (not talking about you, Hoops).
We only do loans with a few small carefully controlled banks. Most large banks are now even more predatory than before the crisis.
We've tried to do A&D loans twice since last summer with the larger banks and both times had to bail. Both times, the large banks tried to change the loan parameters substantially in their favor at the last minute. Luckily, we had one our favorite small banks already set up as a backup and were able to walk away.
I hope those folks get a huge settlement against BOFA.
PF ...If someone is gonna repeatedly slam AU, they better be absolutely correct(IMO) or I'll probably point out their mistakes.
Wanna generally and/or inaccurately slam Bama multiple times? ...I'll help!!
Harrison,
As a wife who is having her "welcome to 50" procedure on Friday, I would advise against leaving your wife to go for pizza and beer with your friends. I promise this is not a good idea - don't ask me how I know this.
cincy,
He'll be back before she even hs a chance to know he's gone.
Hoops,
Gotcha. It looks like we interpret Sensi differently,I can understand your stance towards him, though. After all, I called in just to call him and idiot (and was encouraged to do so by someone who thinks I'm a jackass). I'm full of love for everyone, including Sensi.

She'll know, wives always know.
RODEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Whats up with the hotties. Been gone awhile. Lurkin but now blawgin. How has everyone been? No one gettin chippy lately are they.
Ok. so lights on, no one home. I'll check back later tonight.
Sponge - there was chippiness yesterday concerning catching punts. Good times.
Chris Low doesn't know more about Auburn football than most people here, I would say. Or sports psychology. Or character judgment. He is a better writer though.
So... I may not be able to get to work even if I want to tomorrow...
every road near me is flooded... there is only 1 route passable to get to and from my house right now...and, it's supposed to rain all night.
I would say I need a canoe... but, I'm not canoeing from the 'Ham to the Gump in the morning.
Miller,
It is pouring here now (Chelsea area) and lots of thunder and lightning.
Hi Hotties!!
THT told me I needed to start posting. This isn't addictive is it?
Not in the least.
Welcome to the fray.
MrsTHT, we're not addicted we could give it up at anytime if we wanted to.
No really I could.
Fine your right I'm addicted.
Welcome Mrs. THT,
We need all the females we can get!
speaking of needs, Molly and I need some ice cream.
Thanks! WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!
Hi 2.0!!!
so, who is the Hottie lurking from Dominica? I don't recall any Caribbean Hotties before.
Will I go schizo?
I'm wearing a T-shirt from Punta Cana, Republica Dominica. Does that count?
probably not, but Jet might
only if the shirt got caught in your computer and hijacked your IP address
May I have 10,000 marbles please?
RODEOOOOOOOOOO
JHAG ..you gonna ride a bull at the rodeo? Just down a couple a sixes and Let-R-Rip Tater Chip.
I hope that last post isn't considered "contributing to the ...
Hoopie,
You just destroyed that young man's innocence... I hope you can live with yourself.
I think 2.0 has been lurking on HABOTN since 4 a.m. her time and now LGGByron just contacts me on google chat at 4 a.m. his time. That's just weird.
THT,
How is LGGByron?
I just downloaded pMessenger for iPhone... it's kind of like blackberry messenger, except for the iphone... iphone to iphone messenger. It is pretty cool.
If anyone tries it out, my PMID is E4EF0B30
No my brother did that years ago
Yes, I'm bored... and want to go to bed...
right after this thread hits the halfway mark for this page...
mkay
1 more.... there
g'night all
Hi Cincy - he was definitely better today. No fever, still achey, but he got out and did some sightseeing today. Thanks so much for asking.
Glad he won't have to spend all his time at the hotel. The young recover so quickly.
I am dreading drinking 64 ounces of Gatorade with Miralax tomorrow. I hate Gatorade anyway and with that junk mixed in it can't be better!
Cincy - that doesn't sound like any fun at all. I don't want any part of that.
anybody who would get scheduled to work a double shift on the evening that the Penguins are in town to play the Hurricanes is just plain dumb.
I hope I can get some updates tomorrow night at work.
I better take Molly dog out one last time and then get a little sleep to be ready for the fun day.
Sweet AU dreams!!!
Big Ben is in some big trouble
Cincy ..Wives DO know. Years ago, Ms. Hoopie had her gall bladder removed. She convinced me that it was no big deal and that I should go to work, then pick up our daughter after school, visit for a while at the hospital and then take our daughter home and do the normal nightly routine. I did such exactly.
A few days later I found out that I was supposed to KNOW to be at the hospital during and after the operation and that nothing should persuade me otherwise.
It's that Mars-Venus thing.
Hoopie, that story is exactly why I think girls are dumb.
Just kidding cincy
..hag ...someone made a good point on here the other day that there is always smoke swirling around Ben and there's got to be some fire.
Milledgeville, Ga. is a small town with 3 college bars and +/- 6,000 students in the middle of nowhere. Why was Big Ben there at 2am? There's a decent lake nearby, but ...it's winter.
Now he is saying that she slipped and fell and got hurt that way and this way after the did NOT have intercourse
Anyone heard from JG? Hope he made it to Cashvegas OK.
My guess is that he'll post something good for the BBall folks tomorrow.
'nite all.
Just noticed the live traffic feed on the front page...nice.
I'm a Steelers fan, and I will say Big Ben isn't the brightest apple. Little Ben has gotten him in trouble more than once.
As promised, new thread UPZ.
Any u guys seen the crazy workout videos Kroy Biermann is posting on his Facebook page? For those who haven't its www.facebook.com/biermann71
