AU Finishes Strong To Ink Top 5 Class

2010-02-03T14:03:00.011-06:00

Coach Chizik and Auburn sign a total of 32 to finish the 2010 class on Wednesday. 5 of which are already enrolled on the Plains and count towards the 2009 class. The hard work by the coaching staff, along with the recruiting antics of "Big Cat Weekend" and Billboards spread across the state paid dividends on this first Wednesday of February. All three major recruiting sites have the Tigers in the top 5 nationally. Auburn also manages to recruit the #1 rated offensive line this year, which will for sure help Malzahn and the AU backfield in the upcoming years on the gridiron.

Tuberville's a Red Raider

2010-01-09T19:22:00.003-06:00

Texas Tech hires former Auburn HC Tommy Tuberville as their replacement for Mike Leach. It should be interesting to see what style of offense Tubs installs in Lubbock. Texas Tech is known for their spread attack on offense, and Tuberville was unsuccessful with his '08 transition to the spread attack at Auburn. It lead to the firing of 1st year offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, and Tuberville's resignation.

Former AU assistant James Willis is rumored as a candidate for Defensive Coordinator.

Tigers Rebound

2009-12-23T08:32:00.005-06:00

Acceptable win last night by the Tigers over a marginal (at best) opponent...although after losing to Sam Houston State on Sunday I am not sure what opponent qualifies as marginal these days.

As someone who watches as much Auburn basketball as humanly possible this season has not been what I expected . With 4 horrocious losses to teams that are far less talented, except for maybe Troy (I know) which as 3 SEC transfers, and with 2 tough losses away from home to ACC teams to say the beginning of this season has been a disappointment would be an understatement. However, I am holding on to hope that the early season struggles will somehow help this team down the stretch. Frankie Sullivan, Tay Waller and DeWayne Reed are more than capable guards that on most nights can handle the ball and shoot lights out from the perimeter. What needs to happen is for someone (Brendon Knox, Kenny Gabriel, Ty Armstong, Johnnie Lett...someone) to step up and play tough in the paint for more than 5 minutes.

House Passes H.R. 390 (College Football Playoff Act of 2009)

2009-12-09T20:05:00.003-06:00

A House subcommittee approved the legislation of H.R 390 today. Next step is to go to the full committee for deliberation and revisions for the general debate. Although this bill is far from a House and Senate Vote, it is one step closer to having the Commander and Chief's signature.

H.R. 390 : To prohibit, as an unfair and deceptive act or practice, the promotion, marketing, and advertising of any post-season NCAA Division I football game as a national championship game unless such game is the culmination of a fair and equitable playoff system.

5 things

2009-12-07T22:11:00.007-06:00

1. Big win by the basketball team tonight;
2. It is absolutely ridiculous that Darvin Adams is not 1st team All-SEC;
3. It is more ridiculous that somehow Darvin Adams didn't even make the "Honorable Mention" category. Not 1st team, not 2nd team, not Honorable Mention.... 10 Touchdowns and 800+ receiving yards in the toughest conference in America and he isn't even "Honorable Mention"?.....that is "Hugh Hefner can still function as a man?" ridiculous;
4. It is utterly stupefying that somehow Lee Ziemba did make it;
5. Bob Griese is no Dave Rowe.
