Hunter Morris named POY

Hey everyone. Auburn 1B Hunter Morris has been named the SEC's Player of the Year.

He is Auburn's second POY. The first?

You guessed it: Tim Hudson in 1997.

Morris leads the SEC in slugging percentage (.767), hits (94), home runs (20) and total bases (1818), is second in runs scored (60), third in RBI (67) and fifth in batting average (.398).

Morris is only the second player in SEC history to win both Freshman of the Year and POY. The other was Stephen Head from Ole Miss.

Player of Year.. batter of year....

There were a bunch of guys named all SEC, and the Scholar-Athlete of the Year, too. You can find it all in my live blog in the last thread, or later in the "more to come."

Exciting pre-tournament substance. I am looking forward to tomorrow. Let the elephant hunt begin.

I good post season and Mr. POY could be a candidate to wear golden spikes...

6:49 PM

Where would be the best website to follow the game tomorrow?

6:52 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Will there be a live blog of tomorrow's elephant hunt?

6:56 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

CH=B,

If you're just looking for a stattracker, SECsports.com has one (Auburntigers.com also will have a link to it). XM radio is broadcasting the tourney, and it will be on SportsSouth for TV...I'm sure there will be a channelsurfing.com site set up by someone,but that's always last mintue. I'll email you if you need someone to locate it in the morning.

SoCCEr and MLB

Have to choose between a rare opportunity to watch the Braves (damn you, TBS!...I know it's been three or four years, but I'm still holding a grudge), or watching the USMNT not use their arms.

7:14 PM

Thanks PF

7:15 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

I wasn't able to check in much today. How much hate was spread today?

7:16 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

It was pretty quiet, actually....except for the hundred posts I had when live blogging batting practice/awards/interviews that the SEC had streaming online.

7:19 PM

Czech goalie just screwed up bigtime. US 1-0.

7:21 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

Can't wait for some early morning hate tomorrow. It's gonna help make the work day fly by.

7:25 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

PF had one of the best non JGT live blogs ever earlier today. MJT would be jealous.

7:26 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

Sorry I missed. We have to really bring the hate. Someone call the dude from Major League to put a curse on the walmartians.

7:28 PM  
Blogger chip chip said...

wowee wow wow! impressive...

now if only AU can bang its way to a cws trophy. that's one that you get for winning a playoff so it means something.

US Goalie looked LAZY.

7:47 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

I will be working all day tomorrow... outdoors... away from radio/tv/internet...
I may need someone to send me text message play by play (or at least major updates).
Any volunteers?

7:47 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

...also bad defense.

7:47 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Miller,

I can handle it....or I can hold my phone to the speaker and you can hear it.

7:49 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

I'll be live blogging at times.

I'm planning to meet with Hoopie at some point during the game. That would necessitate a HABOTN communication blackout.

7:51 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Big Cat.

Luper said he couldn't give me an exact number of prospects expected to attend, but I'm guessing it'll be in the 30 range.

The talent won't be as concentrated as it was last summer, but I expect a bunch of notable prospects to take part.

I'll be there on Sunday for FULL HABOTN COVERAGE.

7:52 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Outstanding crowd in Miami for Braves @ Marlins. At least dozens of people there (if anything like previous Braves games I've attended there, at least half are Braves fans).

7:57 PM  
Blogger wartiger said...

Congragulation Mr.Morris. War Eagle to ya!! Thanks...

7:59 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

Preciate the coverage... blogger Tate...

IF AU makes it to the Saturday games, I plan to make an appearance at Regions Park...
Please, everyone... contain your excitement.

7:59 PM

CH=B lets test your hate. Last football season an Auburn bowl win against Northwestern and Bama win vs Texas or Auburn loss and bama loss?

8:09 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

False dilemma Weeman.

The 2 events are unconnected.

8:19 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Indeed...and even if they were, never give up a win for the good guys. If your hate is for any other reason than love of AU, it is misguided. Love of AU always calls for the win.

8:22 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

weeman... Auburn Win and Bama inihilation

Actually, I would wish bama a horrendous sickness the day before the game that would force them to forfeit the game...

8:23 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

GOAL! USA with the equalizer!

8:32 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

That is why I asked CH=B his hate comsumes him. I believe he would have taken an Auburn loss if Bama would have loss(which means no MNC). Just a what if question guys. But the good news is I got word Rose will go public with his commit after Big Cat.

8:32 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

DM I would be happy to text score updates if needed. It may be hard for PF to live blog n text but he's pretty good. :)

8:33 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

If CH=B feels that way, he's an idiot. Anyone who wishes losses on AU is an idiot.

8:38 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

If the US plays defense like this in the World Cup, they won't make it out of the group round.

8:41 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

Weeman, you are correct that my hate for the walmartians runs deep. My love for Auburn is greater. I am not one of those fans that hates them more than I love Auburn. However, I would have traded and outback bowl loss for the infidels to have lost the MNC. The best case scenario is what Miller said.

8:55 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

PF, don't get what I said wrong. I do not wish a loss on Auburn, but to give up one win for the hearts and souls of all walmartians is a fair trade.

8:56 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

Anyone on here that says they wouldn't have loved to see the mullet nations world collapse in exchange for one game is an idiot.

8:58 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

I want Auburn to win em all and wouldn't sacrifice a win no matter what the outcome for Walmartians.

8:59 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

As for BCW there will be several high profile players including 3-4 RBs and at least 2 QBs. There will be a big presence on the defensive side of the ball as well. I expect a minimum of 2 commitments directly following this weekend. I am not the expert though. WTC knows all.

Big Cats and Ding Dongs all in one weekend. What more could you want?

9:01 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

I would love Auburn to win them all as well.

9:02 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Me and Seanzie are idiots, because I'm with him. The Outback Bowl was one of the most exciting games in all of college football last year, even if the team didn't get two rings for winning it.

9:05 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

I'm happy that the coaches have BCW, but I don't personally feel a need to know anything about it.

9:07 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

The game was great and I loved the win, but given the choices laid out by Weeman I would trade that one game. Now best case scenario would have been for use to win the UT to win.

9:08 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

CH=B I got your 2 commits QB Frazier and CB Rose. We might get a few more commits from unheralded recruits whose stock I suspect will soar after camps. And one other question are you Charles from Reeltown?

9:10 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Yeah, their hearts and souls don't matter much to me. They suck with or without them (though I'd argue that they really have neither). I want them to lose them all, but the only one that is connected is the Iron Bowl.

9:11 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

Good point PF.

Weeman that was funny. I kind of take that as an insult. That dude is a complete idiot. Are you Todd from Ozark?

9:15 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

I'm Jay G from Montgomery and I'm saying: No unpleasant bickering.

Pass it forward.

What about pleasant bickering? Who am I kidding, I'm not pleasant when I'm delivering roses, much less bickering.

9:24 PM

Weeman, Todd is just a walmartian I know. You kind of sounded (typed) like him and your profile is similar as well.

Sorry for you CH=B. Does anyone know if Brey Cook will make BCW? Heard he narrowed his choices to 4 schools today.

9:32 PM

I hear Cook is not coming to BCW. Not sure why just now. i hope he comes to AU but I think he is headed to OU ultimately.

Don't know but Brey likes Auburn a lot, but momma likes OU.

wtc and ch=b we must ahve some of the same sources. Also heard he will not be BCW. Think in the end it comes down to OU(why?) and ARK for Cook.

9:42 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

CH=B,

Not at all surprised.
I'm just glad that I am officially done working in Miami forever...or at least on a regular basis. I might still have to go down from time to time. I hate that place.

9:44 PM

I would like to visit South Beach at least once. I would also like to check out a Dolphins' game since I am a huge fan. other than that I don't know why else I would care to go.

Good morning hate to you all.

Hoopie you must have traveled a different 459 than I do. The section from Liberty Park to Trussville is terrible. Most of the roads in the Greater Bammerham area are.

Eff yeah. SunSports will have the game on. Booya!

I was fretting about this game earlier in the week. But this morning I awoke with inner peace. We shall annihilate the infidels.

I awoke this morning with a lot of inner snot and phlegm, just like the previous 3 mornings. Not sure if that's a sign or what.

ehyou & tht - I awoke yesterday morning after just a few hours sleep. I've been awake ever since. Being this tired will serve a purpose in that I'm likely to be extra crabby, take even less crap than usual and Hate even more than most would think possible. So, I've got that going for me...which is nice.

Keep Hate Alive!
