Tyrik Rollison: We hardly knew ye

Hey everyone. Just a quick note to give you official word that Tyrik Rollison has been granted his release and will transfer.

We believe he's headed for Sam Houston State. We have not yet confirmed that.

What can be said about Rollison? Some will say he was a failed prospect and it's difficult to argue with that assessment. The depth chart at quarterback filled very quickly with the arrival of Cam Newton. Auburn is aggressively recruiting at least two major high-school prospects. Barrett Trotter and Clint Moseley have considerable upside.

There's little room for a true freshman who loses significant development time to suspension. Period. That's a terrible way to make a first impression.

My best guess:
Tyrik learns from what happened at Auburn and keeps himself straight at his next stop, which will be closer to home ... and his support system.

  7. Possibly the most impressive thing about this incoming class is how few if looks like we will lose prior to two-a-days. So far only Jeremy Richardson has headed the JUCO route.

    Our classes from 2006 on have had horrible attrition rates and we have been lucky for two thirds of them to actually make it to practice. This year appears to be different and the coaching staff deserves a lot of kudos for that.

  8. I seem to be in the blogspot zone. The front says there are 10 comments, but I only see my modest contributions here. I can't wait until Jay G brings the new HABOTN. There are too many puppet parts laying around in here anyways.

  17. Rollison is a good example why not to get too excited about a recruit until he actually does something. Which was better, Rollison or Cotton? It looks like Cotton has the lead at the moment.

  23. Hmmm, the post says there are 25 comments, but when I come to the comment page there are only 5?

    Braves have piddled away a 4-0 lead. Reds have tied it up in top of 9th. Headed to the bottom. We may have free baseball.

  26. i'm watching the nba playoffs and keep seeing commercials for a new tbs family sitcom with ice cube in it. has anybody in entertainment managed to move from such one extreme (NWA) to the other (kids movies & sitcoms) in their career?
    the same guy that raps the lyrics below now gets beat up by a squirell or some critter in one of his movies. that's like ron jeremy becoming a priest.

    Straight outta Compton crazy mothergrabber named Ice Cube
    From the gang called African-Americans With Attitudes
    When I'm called off I got a sawed off
    Squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off
    You too boy if ya "mess" with me
    The police are gonna hafta come and get me
    Off yo arse that's how I'm goin out
    For the punk mothergrabbers that's showin out
    African-Americans start to mumble, they wanna rumble
    Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
    Goin off on a mothergrabber like that
    with a gat that's pointed at yo arse
    So give it up smooth
    Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
    Here's a murder rap to keep yo dancin
    with a crime record like Charles Manson
    AK-47 is the tool
    Don't make me act the mothergrabbin fool
    Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
    I'm knockin african-americans out tha box, daily
    yo weekly, monthly and yearly
    until them dumb mothergrabbers see clearly
    that I'm down with the capital C-P-T
    Boy you can't "mess" with me
    So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
    Coz Ice Cube is crazy as a duck
    As I leave, believe I'm stompin
    but when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta Compton

  49. I had the wonderful opportunity to go through Ruston in the middle of summer once. As I recall it was about 95 degrees and around 137% humidity with no wind during the day. It would rain in the afternoon so it would get really miserable. Then the bugs would come out. But I seem to recall drive through daquiri places.

  56. Thanks Norm. Good to hear that its a work thing not a kid thing.

    ReplyDelete
  57. OK, I must confess, I've had projects which had problems and issues. But, they all stemmed from errors during the sales process which happens before I ever see anything. Not to suggest I'm perfect. I made a mistake a while back. I admitted it and chose not to make another mistake since I didn't care for the extra work that one caused me.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Mr.TD,

    Your description sounds like Orlando with drive-thru liquor stores. All else being equal (which it sounds like it is), If I had a choice between crowded theme parks and drive-thru liquor stores, I'd take the latter.

  62. Bonnaroo supports the World Cup:

    During the day you can join us to watch the World Cup games (yup, we'll be there at 6:30 am) and we'll broadcast Conan O'Brien's performance from the Comedy tent on Friday live on the screen. Look for a full schedule and details coming soon!

    ReplyDelete
  63. The sis-in-law will once again make it to Bonnaroo. I listen to the stories when she gets back. Can't afford to make the trip cash wise nor missing work wise.

    Now once I hit the mega millions jackpot, things might change.

    ReplyDelete
  64. It's not a go yet, Peter. Friday would probably be the only day I'd be able to go, and I haven't seen the schedule for that day. It's also contingent on one my buddies actually hooking me up with a pass. We'll see.

    It's cool that they're showing the World Cup games, though. That's one reason I'm reluctant to go if given the chance. It starts that Friday.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I wish I could go to Bonnaroo. The Weez will play there. I was planning to take The Daughter to see Weezer in southern Indiana ... but the casino won't admit anyone under 18.

    It's a long drive, crowded and generally un-hygenic.

    But John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Hot Rize and all those great small-time acts that I've never heard are almost too good to pass up.

  70. My buddy's cousin is one of the guys who started Bonnaroo. He once viewed a slideshow that I put some music to and complimented me on my musical selections.

    Sensing an opportunity, I asked if he would want me to DJ at Bonnaroo some time.

    He hasn't gotten back to me yet.

  71. Viagra associated with hearing loss. My question is, "Who Cares?".

    If I'm old and need Viagra, there's a chance my hearing is going anyway. The trade-off doesn't sound bad to me. Take the following story for instance:

    I had an ear infection last week that caused me to lose almost all hearing in my left ear. I went to dinner with a couple of yentas and another guy. The yentas sat on the left side of the table, and I heard virtually none of their conversation. Dinner was actually way more peaceful that way.

    Living in perpetual peace and being an old stud sounds like the perfect life.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Peter, the typical Viagra user is not old in the way you're thinking.

    I say 40-55.

    Old from your perspective, sure, but not mine.

    ReplyDelete
  73. 40-55 isn't old at all. That's not that far away...I still think I can do with some minor hearing loss by then, snort.

  74. As a soon to be 46 y/o dude, that's definitely not old from my perspective. I'll add that I have no need for such pharmaceuticals. None at all.

  81. I was at a club/bar in Orlando a couple of months ago and up on a projector they were playing an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba with Jack Black.

  99. This Census is freakin' disorganized and needlessly spending money. Guy just rang my doorbell saying they never got our info. I sent it back before most people even got their forms (door to door guy hand delivered it). I talked to another guy who was on our street last week, helping him out with who was here an who wasn't (most residents are seasonal), and he confirmed that they had our stuff. The amount of paperwork they have is amazing. They've now paid three different people to come out to our street. What a waste of money! Stupid government.

  102. Peter,
    The census people called me last week about the condo we have for sale in Auburn. They asked me who was living there in April. No one, it is vacant and is for sale. He asked me about 42 more times about who lived there! Then he wanted more of my personal information. I told him unless he had someone to buy my condo, that was all the info I had. I agree - much money has been wasted. Beginning with a commercial during the Super Bowl.

  103. Reference Census - IRS should get together with the Census Bureau to compare notes. If you've filed a return, you (and your dependents) are counted. If you haven't filed a return, well then, tough. You don't get counted and you don't get to collect services.

    It makes about as much sense as the Easter Bunny. It's made up of a bunch of potentially volitile companies owned by men who have been known to make rash and emotional decisions. There have been economists who have devoted their entire lives to the market that cannot make money playing it.

  140. Hey, I make money with the stock market. You must know some dumb scientists.

    Rappers? rapers? What's the difference. Criminals are criminals.

  141. Thanks Peter, but more specifically, what and why was Norm learning about Cuba?

  142. Lance is on TV blasting Floyd Landis for being a general toolbag. I have to agree with him, Floyd lost his credibility a long time ago, and is coming across as a jealous brat now.

  143. i would agree PF. i saw that Landis stuff at the gym this morning.

    You know better than that.

  147. I am definitely a William Glasser fan, but don't know nothing about the picture you are talking about. I studied Glasser and Choice Theory for a few years.

  148. Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

  149. Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?

    ReplyDelete
  150. Yeah, it's bad enough win athlete's are caught cheating/doping, but when they so vociferously deny the accusations as Landis (he even took it to court I think) did after forfeiting his Tour de France victory in 2007, and then come out a few years later and say, "yeah, I totally cheated and lied afterwards about it for two years. My bad"

    Below me. Now this just gives cycling more bad press with the Tour of California and Giro d'Italia going on. Thanks Floyd.

  152. ehyou - Thanks for catching up.

  153. That is disappointing. Now, let me see what we have learned. Rappers, rapers, politicians, and bikers are all criminals and evil.

  154. What are you people? On dope?

  156. Thanks PF. That is definitely me, although I am not nearly so dang sexy these days. Facebook is also evil and I don't understand it. Rappers, rapers, politicians, bikers, and facebook are all criminals and evil.

  161. The stock market is falling bad today and we are all going to die. Of course, tomorrow will be another day and opinions vary.

  162. Strike that, Landis fraudulent victory was in 2006. Alberto Contador of course won it in 2007.

    Silly me.

  163. Jet,

    Don't read this.

    Everyone else, it's a link to another blog's "Regional Radar" prognosis for AU Baseball.

  164. Man, Barney Frank's on TV. One of the things on my bucket list is to hear Barney Frank say "waskeldie wabbit". Then I can die.

    ReplyDelete
  165. I mean...no dice. Next time I'll cheat when trying to quote movies. Maybe some of Floyd Landis' performance enhancers would help me.

    ReplyDelete
  166. On the Landis topic, I bet 70-75% of all athletes in major pro sports are on some kind of PED.

    HGH is hard to test for and apparently can be easily masked even with Olympic level testing.

    ReplyDelete
  167. ChocoScott...

    Show a little pride, OK?

    ReplyDelete
  168. Does anyone doubt that Lance Armstrong used PEDs?

    ReplyDelete
  169. 70-75%? That's quite an assumption.

    ReplyDelete
  170. ScoCho - I'm disappointed in you, but glad you fessed up.

    ReplyDelete
  171. 90% of all statistics are wrong. Someone once said that there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Speaking of statistics; they've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Lance didn't PEDs and Pat Dye didn't cheat.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Auburn golf team a shot out of fifth place in the South Central Regional. Top five teams advance to the NCAA Championships in old Ooltewah, TN.

    Tip of the cap to Jet for telling me last week that the top five teams from each regional advance to the championships.

    ReplyDelete
  179. Look into my eyes, Eduardo.

    ReplyDelete
  180. Cuba and Lady GaGa. Awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  181. As for Pat Dye, I will reserve judgment on him until we have an answer to pantsgate.

    As a study, would some of you de-pants yourself and walk into your home and explain to your wife that you lost your pants. Let me know how that goes for you.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Rappers, rapers, politicians, bikers, and any lady who refers to herself as gaga are all evil and criminals.

    ReplyDelete
  183. Below me. Below me. Below me? Be... oh I get it now.

    Nah, I won't.

  186. Knowing my wife, she was roll her eyes and laugh. It would definitely NOT be shocking for me to come home with no pants, and infidelity ranks about 257th on the list of possible causes for it to happen to me.

  187. Being drunk at the lake and accidentally throwing them in the water because I'm a [Tony Franklin] when I've been drinking is #18. No explanation necessary there.

  188. What is reason 213? Just wondering. My 213 is that I gave my pants to a polar bear.

    ReplyDelete
  189. Michael, I don't have the list in front of me, but that sounds about right. My explanation for that one: I was escaping.
