Auburn football gets another commitment

Hey everyone. Quick word that Sweet Water linebacker Chris Landrum has committed to play football for Auburn beginning in 2011.

He stands 6-foot-2 and weighs approximately 215 pounds.

We know Auburn was hot after Landrum because it brought the Tiger Prowl traveling band of coaches to Sweet Water two weeks ago. He has a standing offer from Alabama ... and other programs.

  2. how bad does this tick Saban off?

    i would imagine quite a bit.

    GET SOME!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Not sure if it makes Saban angry, but he has to be taking stock of what Auburn is doing to him right now.

    It's not easy for him anymore.

  4. Great substance, JGT!!!

    I don't know why HABOTN home page takes about 3 minutes to load on the work PC here at the BuyMore. I think BuyMore needs some bandwidth.... and a Mac.

  39. CHB-You asked yesterday and it was posted before I could get to it. This kid is a good player. I am looking for a QB commit soon. Probably right after BCW.

  40. No need to apologize. I wasn't intending to come down on you. I reserve that for certain folks. So far, you're not one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  41. WTC- Please tell me the QB from Arky, if not, i'm not so thrilled.

    ReplyDelete
  42. WTC, how highly recruited do you think he is going to be.

    Norm, I know you weren't coming down on me. That's more than I can say for your buddy though. "I know if was read".

  43. My daughter reminded me last night that Major Monogram rarely wears pants. I thought about Norm and laughed.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think Fraizer is close to pulling the trigger. Isn't he coming to visit this weekend?

    What about the Rivers kid? I would hate to miss the boat again.

    ReplyDelete
  45. CH=B- We offered Phillip Rivers a TE Position...not sure how we missed the boat there....

    ReplyDelete
  46. Chrome has a very handy ctl+f 'find' feature. This takes me directly to all of PF's posts so I don't miss one. I would recommend doing this daily people.

    ReplyDelete
  47. We missed the boat because we offered him as a TE.

    ReplyDelete
  48. CH=B- My sarcasim obviously didn't seep through well enough. I agree completely.

    ReplyDelete
  49. We've missed the boat a couple of times on QB's. Another example is David Greene. He wanted to go to Auburn. His whole family had gone to Auburn. I was friends with his sister while at Auburn and she said they never showed any interest.

    ReplyDelete
  50. My bad man. Trying to pretend to work and blog at the same time.

  57. Apparently, Corch Mayer also has quite a sense of humor. You know, since he's won 2 NC's which we all know are a joke nowadays.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Corrine Brown should be acknowledge as the genius and inovator she is. It took vision to invent the verbal typo.

  59. yes sir PF.

    How does someone like her get elected?

    I have to do bidness with a lot of "ignernt" hillbillies up in the Ga mountains. There are 3 glaring differences between them and "Gentlewoman Brown":

    1. They aren't as ignernt as Ms. Brown.
    2. They aren't elected to a state office.
    3. They aren't Gaytah fans.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Corrine Brown got elected...and re-elected because she lives in a very politically homogeneous district....and she was unopposed at least once that I know of.

  64. Eddie-I am thinking Frazier commits soon. If so, Uzomah goes somewhere else. So does Bridgewater. Frazier is a quality QB. He already runs Malzhn's offense in HS.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I want to gladulate Norm on resuscitating this thread, and I'm especially glad that these children are here today to witness this exhibition of authentic frontier gibberish.

    ReplyDelete
  77. let's see off the top of my head:

    99-cancelled FSU game
    01-Lost @ Syracuse
    02-Lost @ USC
    03-Lost @ Georgia Tech
    08-Lost @ WVA

    ReplyDelete
  78. Outside of a team with a natural out of conference rival (Georgia-Georgia Tech, Florida-Florida St., South Carolina-Clemson, Kentucky-Louisville), what is the last SEC team that win on the road against a BCS conference team and won?

    ReplyDelete
  79. I have the solution for the oil spill and it is so simple nobody wants to listen. A match should do the trick.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I remember every single one of those, Scottie. I'm not going to lie, I used to make fun of my history teacher when I was Jr. in High School because Auburn was "terrible." Then they beat my No. 1 Gators and I never heard the end of it.

    ReplyDelete
  81. since we're on the subject of non-conference games:

    98-Lost to UVA @ home
    02-Beat Syracuse @ home
    03-Lost to USC @ home
    05-Lost to Georgia Tech @ home
    09-Beat WVA @ home

    2-3...not particularly stellar.

  167. all the talk about superconferences and soccer got me thinking.

    why not merge the ideas? the sec should expand to 26 teams and relegate 10 teams per year. bring in southern miss, troy, usf, fsu, gt miami, tulane, uab etc. being relegated would basically be like being in conference usa now. you still have a boise st.-like shot at the mnc by going undefeated through lower tier sec play and beating the upper tier it plays but are also basically a built in ooc game for the upper 16 while keeping the $$$ in house. something like bottom 4 and top 4 get switched each year. talk about drama and something to write about. gnite.

  173. CHB-how do like the comments from Landrum about AU and why he chose AU. even though Regions is looking elsewhere, you deep inside fans of the other team are wondering why lifelong UAt fans are going to AU. These kids have publicly stated they grew UAt their whole life and never even thought of coming to AU until they took a visit and were impressed by the coaches and the atmosphere and the campus. I mean you are talking about being a fan of the last National Champ, a life long fan at that, and you go to their rival. The other side can spin it anyway they want, but this staff is making a huge difference. As Luper said when in Montgomery, 'you never see a dog barking at a parked car.'
