Practice report, 4/19
Hey everyone. Auburn's final spring practice has ended. Here's what we learned today:
- Coach Gene Chizik said nothing new about the quarterbacks.
- Chizik said Auburn may make a decision at quarterback tomorrow, during the early summer months, in the middle of the summer, at the end of the summer or during two-a-days.
- Chizik said news from the Shon Coleman front has been positive during the past 10 days. It's possible that Coleman will report with the other signees this summer.
- Coleman's mother, DeKeishia Tunstall, posted on her Facebook page Friday that her son was back in a Memphis hospital due to low sodium levels.
- Chizik said he has spoken occasionally with QB Tyrik Rollison. The coach said Auburn will make Rollison's intentions clear at semester's end ... but curiously didn't rule out the possibility of Rollison returning. I still consider than a 1-in-1,000 shot.
- Chizik said the plan to move Daren Bates, who currently is out with a shoulder injury, is in tact. He's expected to play linebacker next year. I get the sense it'll be a hybrid deal ... mostly linebacker, some nickel, some safety.
- QB Clint Moseley (left), as I wrote the other day, still feels like he's not really in the mix at No. 1 quarterback right now. Some people believe he'll transfer. He said today: "Why would I ever leave Auburn? I'm on full scholarship at an SEC school. It's my dream."
- Assistant coach Curtis Luper said he carefully watched TB Mario Fannin this spring for signs of tentativeness considering his injury-riddled past. Luper didn't see it. "He doesn't shy away. He's a complete back. He's naturally inclined to hit 'em in the mouth."
- DE Antoine Carter said he has taken up Mike Blanc's offer to go to Haiti. They're going next month. Blanc, if you recall, said nobody aside from Mike McNeil would make that trip. Carter said several players are going ... including Cam Newton.
- Of the trip, Carter said: "It's going to be like a mission trip. We're going to build stuff ... build it back up."
- Carter said he's headed to Birmingham on Friday to consult with a tattoo-removal specialist. He wants to have the "HOT BOY" tattoos removed from his face. "It was a bad childhood mistake and it's time to get it fixed," he said.

I disagree with that point, michael.
me too
I concur with Michael, but not with Michael.
I know better than the coach on a lot of things, and I would keep Bates at safety this year.
Did anyone ask why Chiz changed shirts at halftime?
Bates dances too much after tackles. If he stayed at safety, it would negatively affect recruiting as "The Safety Dance" went out of vogue in 1984-85 range.
He clearly must play linebacker.
Jet- I did, from Orange to Blue. Maybe the guy sweats a lot. It could be worse, he could have been wearing an ugly gray suit from the 80's.
He was attempting to disorient the opposition.
Or he could have worn the Terry Bowden white dress shirt with no undershirt, and looked a complete idiot.
Jet- Just Imagine Terry dressing that way today, with the way he keeps himself up...
Tryin' to keep my lunch down here, Eduardo.
Jet- Don't worry, Terry would be there to scoop it up.
I agree with paulmain. Whatever it takes to keep him here, I'll agree with it. I mean, who doesn't love kittens? Or something like that.
If I had gotten a tat during my "childhood" I believe I wouldn't have lived to see adulthood.
Concerning Rollison...so you're telling me there's a chance?
I read you.
THE Rollison Express hasn't left the station???
Come on tell it like it is.
It had better get out of the way or the Cam tank will run all over it.
Don't know 'bout y'all, but I'm thinking the Kodi-cycle may be coming back.
Rollison to Kodi....book it! ;)
Glad we've got that group of players going down to Haiti. Yay service.
I am glad to see Chizik finally made a firm commitment to declare a starting QB before the start of the season.
I'll be seeing Chizik tomorrow evening, I'll ask him for clarification.
Re: the Terry Bowden wet T-shirt contest...
"Yes, now that is disgusting" - The Ladies Man
Re: Hot Boy tat...
I had mine removed years ago.
Well that's a wrap for spring practice. What are we going to do now?
How about the Rays pulling off a 4 game sweep of the Red Sox AT Fenway.
Rays are good.
the Sox are starting out...not strong.
Scarbinksy on the decline of AU krootin' under Tuberville.
Maybe it is time I remove my "F#%* NAFTA!" tattoo from my face. It was a bad childhood mistake. Time to get it fixed.
Interesting write up by Scarbinsky.
Scar is right on in that piece.
How did Cooper Wallace beat out Robert Johnson?
Now we get to count the days until Summer practice, Seanzie. And keep an eye on some baseball.
Pretty radical move for a kid your age back then Michael
MJT - did you hear a "giant sucking sound" from your parents collective gasping when you returned home all inked up like that?
I think if I had heard a giant sucking sound from my parents ... nevermind.
That Scarbinsky article seems like a lot of ho ha. The players after 2006 includes players that haven't had their senior season so wouldn't be likely to show up on the all decade team. Yea, recruiting declined in 2008 and there was heavy attrition in 2007, but that article was largely a lot of bull hockey.
OK, just to clarify - "collective gasping" caused by the horrific sight of MJT all tatted with a political statement up on his former boyish face. Not "collective gasping" brought about by anything else.
i have no idea eddie. johnson deserves to be #1 for the '02 iron bowl alone.
Seanzie...World Cup. June 12, Rustenberg, South Africa, US against the old country. That's what we're gonna do next (right after Chelski fall apart and United swoops in for the title).
The anticipation from the Scarbinsky article until Steve responded only took 17 mins.
werk - how're the folks?
As for face tats, it looks like someone might have told the boy that there was a high probability of stupidity with even the nicest face tats. Call Mike Tyson. I am sure he would have advice to share.
And what parent would allow their kids to get a tattoo when they are so young. I don't know your momma, but if I did that my mom would have slapped me so hard the tattoo would have been thrown from my face.
Norm,
They are doing good. We're just waiting a couple of weeks until they can run more tests on my dad, to see what the next steps are.
My mom is doing much better, a change in medication has her BP and heart rate back to normal.
Come to think of it, someone send Hot Boy by mommas house for a free tattoo removal.
RK, you and I were on the same wavelength re: anticipation.
I think Scar has some valid points. 6 of UA's All-Decade players were on last year's team. Just sayin'.
Good to hear, RK.
Chelsea are in trouble, Arsenal are in a free fall, United are sneaking around the chicken coop.
So I guess Clint was recieving an attitude adjustment Saturday?
I liked this quote, "I'm not used to being second in anything." Winner.
Clint threw the best pass of the day. I loved the pump fake.
Norm - even by that age, my parents had no gasps left for the things I did. Or any sucking sounds.
And yes, I was pretty young for such a tat. But I figured instead of something like "Hot Boy", I should get a tattoo I could grow into. You know, a little more adult. Whoops.
Scar's column is worth something only if printed on soft paper that would not irritate when used to whip after a trip to the bathroom.
There is no secret that 2008 was a down recruiting year in general in the state and that it also coincided with the arrival and hype of the great Saban.
It is also not news that the 2007 class had a lot of attritionm but the 2006 and 2007 classes were two of the highest ranked classes we had under Tuberville. The other class being 2002, if I recall correctly.
Yes, that article is prime butt whipping material.
Butt wiping or butt whipping?
whip?
It's hard for me to read a whole lot into what Clint did. Really any of the QB's. Spring Games are vanilla enough as it is with regard to the passing game, but throw in the fact that basically none of our DB's were playing and it's hard to say how much credit each QB deserves for the passes they threw, not to mention the lack of a viable pass rush. Trotter, Caudle, and Mosley all looked good throwing the ball, but it was like bowling with the bumpers pulled out. It was hard not to look good, even if the throws looked like genuinely good throws themselves.
that said, it's slightly troubling that Cam didn't do a better job passing the ball, but it's only one practice out of fifteen. Maybe it's been the complete opposite in a true scrimmage situation.
There is a big difference between butt whipping and butt whiping. So a little clarification might be needed.
Either way, not a fan, huh Steve?
Hope you're right, Sean. If United can win out the last three games with the Blues facing a trip to Anfield in a couple of weeks time, we may just pull this off.
No, Scar is kind of full of it.
While there are fair things to criticize about Tuberville, and to some degree recruiting, that article was pure B.S.
Steve- It was just facts, nothing more, nothing less. Tough pill for you to swallow I see.
Someone lost the next Iphone...RSJ must be in panic mode today
FSJ- What's your take. Looks authentic.
Anyway...
It's going to take Hot Carter a few times to get that tattoo off his face. And each time is going to be painful. I think it'll help him handle pain this fall.
Glad for the Derby win, even if in Stoppage time, but I still not sure United can win the last 3 out. Not playing well, but I'll be hopeful.
I don't know why you have trouble swallowing the facts, Eddie, but the interpretation was hilarious. I do love it when someone like that makes it so clear he knows nothing about what he is writing. It is hilarious, even if it is tough for you to swallow.
WTC- What do you make of Driskel committing to Florida? I'm hoping Frazier comes thru.
What happened to the "no talk about old coaches" rule? Yeah, Tubs definitely slipped in the latter years and let the program fall off a bit, but you know what? So did Dy. So did Jordan. We don't linger on that too much.
I know Tubs is more recent history and we're still feeling the effects, but it's history. Who cares? I know Steve's the one who brought it up, but just let him have his rant and move on.
Bro...the last second win could have a galvanizing affect on United. Doesn't matter how you win a derby match so long as you win it. City is a CL contender after all.
Wow, I can't believe an Apple employee was dumb enough to lose a next generation iPhone. That is a get you fired type of mistake where I work.
I agree that Tubs went downhill a bit in recruiting, but the article is misrepresentative. Notice the list goes all the way back to 1997. That would make sense, since everyone who made the team performed at their peak as upper class men. But to be fair, using this list, can't you only go through the recruiting of the 2006 year or so for an apples to apples comparison? That is the 10 years of recruiting that had the most effect on the all decade team.
But yes, recruiting is worlds better now.
I would love to have that phone. Love the specs that were reported.
Also, rumor starting to float that Iphone will stay strictly AT&T now. Not sure what is happening there.
When did Driskel commit to Florida? That is a bit of a shock.
As for Jordan, he still have some very good teams late in his career, although the last season wasn't so hot.
We could get into some racial stuff surrounding Jordan that had a lot to do with the rise of Bryant, but it is old news.
Driskel committed today.
LeMay lists us in Top 3. He seems a long shot.
Frazier seems like best bet of top QB Prospect with a chance to commit to us.
This comment has been removed by the author.
michael, that is it exactly. The facts were distorted making the entire article a bunch of B.S.
Yes, the 2008 signing class was small and not great, but that article was just goofy.
I also would partially blame Tuberville and crew for the heavy attrition in the 2007 class. There was just too much attrition for it to not have been, at least partially, due to a poor choice of players, even if they were high rated.
Dye is a different story, although I actually know less about Dye's departure than Jordan's. I do believe a lot that went on with Dye had to do with his declining health, but I was busy with other things during those years. I watched the games, but wasn't keeping as up to speed with the goings on with the team.
I would say Dye's decline had more to do with NCAA and violations.
And although the 2008 team wasn't great, they were better than many portray. We lost a crap load of close games that season due to the switch to the RFYLK offense. If CTF had lasted the entire season, we may have had a winning season, but I kind of doubt it. Todd's arm was toast and we basically didn't have another QB.
I will say this. Tub recruiting Darvin Adams, T-Zach and Q. Carr and all three of those guys are alright. He also recruited Ben Tate and Mario Fannin, along with 2 of the 4 possible starting QBs next year. We'll see how it pans out.
I think the NCAA issues may have resulted from Dye's declining health. I don't think he had as firm a grasp on the team. Needless to say, the NCAA issues moved Dye down my list of the greatest Auburn coaches. I don't care how many games we win, a coach that knowingly allows that stuff to go on should be fired.
Don't look now, but I think Eddie would agree with Steve about Dye.
Not many coaches would have jobs anywhere if that were the case.
There is talent on this team. It isn't the talent level that bothers me. It is the attrition. What we saw was totally ridiculous. How many players did we lose to Ole Miss? We aren't just talking academic casualties. I think it had a lot to do with the environment and the disfunctional relationship between the staff and the faculty. Yea, you can blame it on the faculty, but some of the responsibility has to lay with Tuberville. It is clear from some of the player comments, the environment became very bad where the coaches were in a CYA frame of mind.
Yea, there are things I would knock Tuberville for, but some things like the Scar article are misleading.
Also, I don't believe that Borges or CTF wanted Kodi to be the starter. I lay some blame there too. Kodi could have developed into a much better QB if he hadn't been thrown to the wolves so early in his career.
Man, what a rant.
RK, the everyone does it didn't work for my 7 year old and it certainly won't work for coaches.
I agree with Steve on that. Just because others were doing it didn't make it right for us. And for the stories I've heard from past players on how bad it was, it shocking we didn't get busted way earlier. Never the less, Jet will be here to the rescue shortly.
Did I say "everyone does it" to justify anything? I was just saying going by your anyone who does it and knows about it should be fired criteria there would be long lines at the coaches unemployment line.
Geez.
I think we can all agree that Tubs should never dabble in the offense.
DUTCH BEASLEY!!
oh well, i tried
Yea, a head coach should let the coordinators do their job. Yea, a guy like Chizik likely has a lot of advice for Roof, but let Roof make the decisions for the defense and hold him accountable.
As for Malzahn, my guess is he wouldn't be around for year two if someone tried to tell him how to run his offense. Someone might ask Houston Nutt about that.
Must ... resist ... urge. Ah, screw it.
What Kevin wrote was a simple analysis of the Auburn All-Decade team.
He left out what I consider the most damning observation: Of the last seven selections recruited, three were "specialists."
Tuberville started our well, recruited well and it fell off. Doesn't mean he's a bad guy, but the selection of the team (which was fairly representative of what happened on the field) tells the story.
ARHHHH, sorry, didn't mean to mess up the Beasley post. I'm out of practice.
The most pleasant thing about this new staff is I haven't been reading conflicting messages. They all seem to be on the same page. Considering that most of them hadn't worked together before, that is very impressive.
What will we do now on the HABOTN?
I'm planning a trip to Spanish Fort on Wednesday to see where Reese Dismukes will play college ball.
That'll be some tasty substançio.
Wasn't Driskel a life long Auburn fan? It is hard to see him signing somewhere else, although Florida isn't a bad choice.
Eddie-AU is taking 1 QB. Frazier is their top target. Has been for a while. i was surprised by Driskell commiting so soon. He had said it would be a few eeeks
from now the other day.
It seems this year, the early pledging of top talent is making all coaches get after it. I know many that woul dlike ot see Au get their top guys coming public with their announcement. Especially when others in the SEC are getting theirs to announce early.
AU has only 4 listed now and tht is better than last year, but others have picked the pace up. AU should have about 6-7 within a couple of weeks.
Jay, thanks for doing the Dismukes thing. Seeing as he showed for A-Day, there is likely good news there.
As for what now, it is recruiting season. They also seem to play baseball during it.
I can't see much news coming from the football team any time soon, unless there are some stories about the soon to be arriving recruits, which would be interesting.
Spanish Fort is an OK town. It's at least close to the other towns on the eastern shore.
Driskel's decision makes sense. Urban has always done great things with a very athletic QB behind center. Their QB situation is also not as crowded as ours.
Well, for this week can talk about where our AU players might go in the NFL draft.
Wasn't Frazier at A-Day?
NFL DRAFT!!! I totally forgot.
In terms of QB, we are likely set for the next couple of years, but I don't think Trotter or Moseley are locks for the starting job. We do need at least one QB in this signing class.
What about the player countdown like we had last year. Was it THT that did that?
The mock draft I just looked at had Tate going to the Texans in the 3rd round, McFadden to the Cowboys in the 6th, and Coleman to the 49ers (also in the 6th).
'cause I love Eduardo ...
Pat Dye was good for Auburn.
Spanish Fort is in Oklahoma?
Ok, I just got paroled. I'm in a smart alecky mood.
Great effort on 2.0's part for the BEASLEY!!! post. Must have been those wooden shoes that slowed her down.
SteveFC- yep, it was THT who did the countdown last year. And for a modest contribution to the Keep 2.0 Traveling Fund, you can have your picks for Player of the Day
Hey 2.0!
Where are you now? Has the volcano ash changed your plans at all? When are you coming home?
I know, questions, questions! I'm a mom, what can I say?
Hi Cincy - I just finished talking with 2.0. Hopefully she's going to bed now; it's 11:30. She's in Amsterdam and is going to visit this place tomorrow.
2.0 will be heading back to Heathrow by train on Wednesday night and hopefully will be home Thursday afternoon.
How lovely! I know you are excited to get her back home.
I just spoke to my daughter who went to the dr. today. She came down for A-Day and I noticed that she was jaundiced, especially her eyes. She had complained last week of a fever, nausea and being tired. After seeing her this weekend, I told her I thought she had mono. Turns out this mom/nurse was right! She is quite put out. Mono doesn't fit into her plans right now.
Sup HOTTIES!!!!
once a Hot Boy always a Hot Boy.
Mobilz - apparently very little. Great to hear from you, though. Aren't you just a bridge or two away from Mr. Dismukes? I hope you can corral him for the Tigers!
Cincy - ugh! That's not pleasant at all. I hope she has an uncommonly speedy recovery.
We've got puck now! Bruins and Sabres, Game 3, on VS.
Man, the Dutch do love their flowers.
I'm not surprised by Driskel committing to UF... I know he likes AU, but UF and being "the next Tebow" was probably where he was going to end up all along.
Frazier is our top target, and we have a strong shot... Next on my personal list is Lemay... and we're in the top 3...
Eddie,
David Pogue from the NYT thinks the pics are of the next iPhone. I tend to agree. The aluminum fits in with the Apple design of late.
I'm excited about a front facing camera and a higher resolution screen.
RE: Reese Dismukes
People I know in the area say he's an AU lock.
Sensi ... I hope your sixth sensi is correct.
You know who I miss? Carmela. And also j-z. I don't know if they're together, but I know they're not around here. Dangit.
I'd say this dude is TOAST...
Uh Oh
Norm..
They may be touring America together.
I'd say Gray should update his resume'.
Uh, of course, J-Z and Carmela are together.
Just sayin'.
ElTurbo is a software engineering major ... too bad he's not a graduate ... he might could get a job.
Christina Hendricks has passed Megan Fox as the hottest woman.
CH ... YES ... SHE ... HAS.
Very attractive but there is just something about Fox. I think it's the sluttyness. Is that even a word and can it be said on the HABOTN?
Hendricks is a fine looking woman, but I'm not quite willing to put her at the top. Never cared much for Fox as anything but eye candy.
Rise and shine, Hotties!
Have a great day :)
aw rats, looks like I missed 2.0's HABOTN flyby by 7 minutes :-( I wonder if the flowers were blooming.
Good morning all. Looks like everyone went to bed early last night.
Cincy, how was your A-Day? Sorry I didn't get a chance to come by to meet you. We parked on the other side of campus and the heat,timing and a 3yr didn't work out.
Morning Hotties. Today is "Tiger Trek" day for ATL. F4*, Hot Wife and I are going to meet Chiz and Co. Should be fun.
Enjoy Norm. I decided to pass. Hope you have fun. Hoopie will be there I believe.
Let me be the first to wish everyone a very happy 4/20.
I realize this is early but I would like to get a sense of how the depth chart will look for the DEFENSE next year.
Any thoughts?
Sensi- Thin and young IMO. Offense will be bailing the D out again I believe. Should start getting better in 2011.
Everyone repeat after me:
when referring to the defense in 2010 the phrase "work-in-progress" is appropriate.
Also, I nominate the phrase "Cam Show" to be used when referring to QB play.

CH=B,
We had a great A-Day. We were in Auburn, the weather was just perfect and all of my family was there - can it get any better??
Although my daughter was pretty tired and was diagnosed with mono when she got home. We thought the tiredness might mean baby, but that baby was mono!
I think we'll be a little more stout on defense this year. Barring a huge rash of injuries, we're going to have more depth this year. I think we'll be sollid against the run and suspect in the secondary at times. LB's should be really good if we can find one or two more guys to back them up.
It still won't be the kind of Auburn defense we've come to expect, but it'll be decent progress compared to last year. Don't put too much stock into A-Day. From what I could tell, our actual number one's who played on that side of the ball did solid enough just playing vanilla.
Cincy, did you get to meet Jason Campbell or Wesley Person at the breakfast?
Norm, Eddie --I've got a planning commission meeting in Chatsworth, Ga. at 7 pm that won't be over until 8:30. I tried to reshuffle the agenda, but those folks are either UGA or VOLS and don't care about Chizco.
I was looking forward to seeing some Hotties and a bunch of ATL-AU folks that I haven't seen in years. I'm betting that Chizco will continue these type events and we'll have more chances.
We may have a work in progress defense, but at least it is progressing.
All we need is for a few of our injured DBs to be able to get back into playing form and we won't be a total patchwork back there.
Hoopie- Things starting to pick up for you?
Hopefully we will have more quality depth on D this coming year than we had last year. We should have games, much less almost full seasons where two players hardly ever left the field at LB.
E-Bro, I am with you on the defense. At first I was concerned watching A-Day until I realized how little our starters played. That, along with being vanilla, set the offense up for success.
It also made the QBs look great when they were throwing to receivers that weren't covered by the starters.
Is this thing on?
Auburn: 2010 Undefeated SEC Champs.
Yeah, on life support.
The only thing I'm concerned about is our opponents' well being after we blow them off the field. Fans included. And to be completely honest, I'm not all that concerned about it.
i like it Seanzie. kill 'em all.
Anybody else hear the sonic boom from the space shuttle this morning?
I heard the Sonic Boom that occured when Cam Newton's latest pass re-entered.
I don't care if his passes are causing sonic booms or quacking sounds, as long as he can complete them.
There will be no Heisman campaign next year. Word is, they've already reserved it for Cam Netwon.
That's Cam Newton. I don't know who Cam Netwon is.
I predict we will not allow a 100 yard rusher next year and that Mark Ingram leaves early just because he can't face Auburn again after 2 straight seasons of humiliation.
I don't think our D will be that good, but it will be good. We have some experienced starters returning and a lot of talented young guys to back them up. I think we will be ok. I still predict 9-3 to 10-2.
My prediction?
Pain.
Anyone else see where radical muslims are pissed at the South Park creators?
Who are the radicals not pissed off at?
I'm still staying within the 8-4 to 9-3 margin.
I know our schedule is favorable in a lot of ways, but it has some holes, still mainly the 11 games in a row thing. Whoever the QB is, he's got to be able to go to bat right away with a tough Thursday nighter in Stark-vegas. That place will be amped up and I think State is possible bowl team this year.
That game should set the tone for the season, one way or another.
Just one more group for Trey Parker and Matt Stone to check off their list of people they have pi$$ed off.
They're equal opportunity offenders. The sooner everbody else realizes that, the better.
The episode they did on racism a couple of years ago was, I thought, brilliant.
I loved the Facebook episode.
E-Bro is dead on about the trip to StarkVegas.
It's a BushWhack! Do not seek the treasure!
I'm not worried about the trip to Starkville that much, but the 11 straight games again this year worries me.
It leaves us pretty banged up for the Oct/Nov SEC run.
Any word on if it will be 11 or just 10? I hear we may be moving the UGA game back to accommodate UA's nancy crying.
Thursday night road games are traps.
Got Ole Miss last year. Nearly got us in Columbia the last time we were up there.
If we move the game because of the infidels wishes I will be PISSED
I think it might help us out to move the game.
having the break before the UGA game will give us ample time to rest, and it helps that it's at home.
I don't care, I don't want to give in to those people at all.
That's the wrong attitude. Just my opinion. That's like cutting off the nose to spite the face or whatever.
There is NO WAY our administration would willingly concede the move. The question is, can the SEC force us to?
Carolina and Alabama can both reschedule or UGA and AU can reschedule without affecting the rest of the schedule. I don't think anyone HAS to do anything.
That game in Columbia was the game where we held the ball the entire 3rd quarter.
Maybe I'm underestimating Miss State, but that one doesn't worry me that much.
Auburn should breeze by State. The home games against the two Carolina teams have me a bit worried.
The comments over at al.com are classic today.
By the way, good article on Fannin today, Jay G.
The Carolina/Clemson games will be tough.
As for State, they gave everyone who visited (outside of Bama) a lot of trouble or just beat the crap out of them (Ole Miss). Even w/o Dixon, I think they'll be more solid all the way around. And if Cam is the starter, the crowd will be even more juiced. I expect a victory, but I think it'll be a very tight ball game.
We gotta R-U-N-N-O-F-T.
Slow day @ Habotn HQ...
guess everyone's taking a day off after spring practice.
This has probably been explained at some point, but why doesn't JGT provide links to his MA articles anymore?
Mr Chocula...I think it's simply a case of JayG not wanting to go through the trouble of creating a post for every single article he writes. Especially during the football season when he would archive the old articles.
I think he felt too much time was being spent to fulfill said tasks.
I might be wrong.
I think it's because Jay G is lazy.
That and it's really easy to click on the sports section...
Lol, J/k, Chocula.
So who's still on the Gus Bus?
scottie,
No we didn't get to meet Jason or Wesley, but we did sit at the table with Lloyd Nix and Tommy Lorino which was way cool! They are both very interesting men.
Scott Choco,
What time was the sonic boom? As I was leaving this morning, I heard a loud noise. I was afraid I had backed into the garage door. Wonder if the boom is what I heard? Was it around 8?
Don't take MSU lightly. I consider it a trap game. It would be easy for us to overlook them, but they were much improved by the end of last season.
I suspect Jay stopped providing links to his articles because the server was getting overloaded.
My bro-in-law works for the Auburn caterer that was working the festivities and got to meet Campbell. He was totally stoked.
I feel dirty. I am watching the SECCG on CBS College Sports. Yea, Bama is trucking Tebow. I don't like watching Bama, but somehow watching Tebow getting trucked gives me a warm feeling inside.
ehyou, has anyone ever told you that you look amazingly like Paul Schaffer?
