Hey everyone. Auburn is practicing right now. Here's what's happening.- TE Phillip Lutzenkirchen didn't participate in practice today. Not sure what's going on with him.
- Signees LaDarius Owens (linebacker) and Jeffrey Whitaker (defensive tackle) attended practice today. They were just checking out the drills. "I can't wait to get up here in May," Owens said.
- The main punt-return guys today were Mario Fannin, Eric Smith and Philip Pierre-Louis.
- Ryan Shoemaker was booming spiral punts like mad. He looked good.
Chizik and Gus Malzahn mapping out the day's offensive schedule.
LaDarius Owens, a 2010 signee, stopped by to watch practice. He said today is a teacher work day at school, so his family came down to visit his uncle ... former Auburn standout James Owens.
Another signee, Jeffrey Whitaker, also rolled into town for a short visit.

ReplyDeleteNo headers today.
ReplyDeleteAUnMobilz quickest on the draw!
ReplyDeletewoohoo football. sho got that right.
ReplyDeleteIs Fannin going to be an all purpose back or really sink into the running back this season?
ReplyDeletePPL SIGHTING!!!
ReplyDeleteI will light 2 candles at my PPL shrine today to ensure his place in Auburn Football history.
Hello, my name is ehyou and I'm addicted to football. Thanks for the fix bro!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, JGT. Thanks for the report. Auburn Football = best substance.
ReplyDeleteIs it normal for Phillip Lutzenkirchen to show up to practice naked?
ReplyDeletePhoto gallery is up for your enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteA highlighter company is missing a golden opportunity by not signing Malzahn up to endorse their product.
ReplyDeleteJay G, Do Owens and Whitaker look just as athletic/physically imposing in person? Whitaker looks like a BEAST.
ReplyDeleteMicheal,
ReplyDeleteI don't want to see PL in the Bday suit, ok!!!
JayG -
ReplyDeleteWe've seen pics of Newton and Gaydon & Mosley. What about Curry and Sanders? Do they look like HS kids, or like guys that could contribute in 6 months?
JGT,
ReplyDeleteYou think CGM borrowed the Stretch Band Idea from a MOM keeping reigns on there child like at the grocery store and mall?
I haven't paid much attention to Curry and Sanders to this point. We only get a few minutes to shoot.
ReplyDeleteHow's Mike Berry looking today?
ReplyDeleteDenver airport security = not much fun..
ReplyDeleteMore like this SNL skit featuring Mike Meyers from 1993.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff. So what's with Gulley's name change...is this an alias?
ReplyDeleteThat's cool, I know the QB and RTs are higher priorities since we have to have them on the field.
ReplyDeleteI just had some brunswick stew for lunch... got me to wondering if 2.0 is going to try the seal lasagna when she gets to Tromso tomorrow night.
ReplyDeletethose are great photos, JGT. I just realized you had added some more. I'm a bit slow.
ReplyDeleteWe need 2.0 to share details from the trip ... since "overseas" to me is crossing the Mississippi River.
ReplyDeleteummm...brunswick stew....
ReplyDeleteThe Barbecue House in Auburn has the best brunswick stew.
Shon Coleman update.... I found this on another site...
ReplyDelete--Here's quotes from his mom from a few days ago (from her facebook page):
"FBF...Wanted to give everyone an update on Shon. We received his diagnosis today and he has a condition called ALL - Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. The good news is that this particular type of Leukemia has a 90% cure rate after treatment, so the odds are definately in our favor. He has been admitted to St. Jude for immediate treatment. The road for Shon over the next several weeks is going to be tough, but he will get through this. Thank you for all the calls and prayers, and please continue to pray for him and my family. Much love..."
"Today was a good day for Shon. The eye and ankle pain that he dealt with yesterday subsided. He began his chemotherapy regimen last night. His spinal tap results were great. No cancer cells were found in his spine or brain. This is great!!! His white cell counts are down today. We're headed in the right direction. Please keep the prayers coming:-)"
She also says he's coming home from St. jude today--
Thanks, Miller!
ReplyDeleteI expect Auburn to address this after practice. Sounds like Shon has a good chance to get through this without any major changes to his life plan.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle to Shon and his family! We are praying for you!
ReplyDeleteJayG, I hope you are okay now. The photos and info are great.
Prayers sent for Mr. Coleman and his family.
ReplyDeleteI pray for the day where all diseases affecting kids are cured.
Regarding Gulley/Morgan, it seems to me that I heard that his family is not his birth family. Maybe that's the reason for the name change.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, FSJ!
ReplyDeleteGreat news on SC!!!
ReplyDeleteAre ya hanging out with Chris Low while he's in town? I met him briefly about 2000 while I was living in Knoxville. Seemed like a decent enough dude.
ReplyDeleteDoes Cam Newton look like he is twice the size of the other quarterbacks?
ReplyDeletePrayers for angels to surround Shon in this battle.
Jet, the only time I have been pulled aside and searched was in the Denver airport. They act like they are Wash. DC and have this power and stuff. I have to be reminded not be smart aleck when I am at the airport.
ReplyDeleteY'all be sure to vote for the All Decade Team if you haven't done so already.
ReplyDeleteJay, bringing the heat. Thanks Jay. I am ready for some football!!!
ReplyDeleteMy prayers go out to Shon and family and will continue until he is deemed clear of this dreaded ALL.
ReplyDeleteJGT good substance and really enjoyed the photgallery
2.0 if you are lurking speak up we would love to here a travel-log of you travels. Surely you are seeing something interesting. I have never been across the big pond. It also let's us know you are doing OK and are well.
When did Aussies start dominating American open wheel racing? Lots of accents out there, including the top three in today's Indy race. With the Europeans and South Americans, Danica was the only American in the top 10.
ReplyDeleteMan, I hadn't heard about Shon Coleman having medical issues. Screw football. Just get better.
ReplyDeleteESmith returning punts is a surprise. Also, I am surprised Demond isn't returning punts.
ReplyDeleteI have nothing about Michigan State, but if they win, someone named the SABANATOR will win the HABOTN bracket challenge. That cannot be allowed to happen.
ReplyDeleteSabanator = Salsa Shark?
ReplyDeleteMaybe that just means they want to terminate Nick Saban.
ReplyDeleteGo Butler!!! Go Dawgs!!!
ReplyDeleteNew thread UPZ.
ReplyDeletego back one more week and you may find a thread with odd number of posts.
