Senate to hold BCS hearings: I hate the BCS, but I don’t think it’s the role of the government to intervene here. For instance, outlawing people of Croatian descent from coaching careers might improve football because it would get rid of this guy and this guy… but it would still be the wrong thing to do.
Blind Side movie: ““Orgeron came out of his seat and forearmed the couch,” Tuberville joked. “The rest of us looked a little more in control.”
The United States beat France 78-0 in the “Junior World Football Championship“… I doubt that it had anything to do with the “auburner cursed banner” conspiracy theory, but it sure doesn’t help things.
The Leger-Enquirer interviews Jay Jacobs. The edited out parts were posted on Andy Bitter’s blog.
Philip Pierre-Louis Watch Day Three: Has our dream of seeing a 5′7″ superstar wide receiver come to pass? Will Gus Malzahn not be able to run the type of trick play we lusted for in 06? Will we ever be able to watch The Frenchman defeat the tall Spaniard in Tuscaloosa? Mystery remains afoot!
Woah. I used to think Phillip Marshall was awesome, and it’s understandable that a journalist gets a story wrong every now and then. But, this is the lamest apology I’ve ever read. If you tell someone “I could tell you that…”, you just did tell someone “that”.
On another note, Marshall still sticks by his claim that The Frenchman is off the team. Mystery is STILL afoot.
The Frenchman is ON the team.
Whaaaa???? Philip Pierre-Louis of Saint Thomas-Aquinas isn’t on the team anymore? Gene Chizik is on vacation? Mystery is afoot. (update: the article was free last night when I posted it - I’ve been had by the ol’ bait and switch… This article on Tuberville seems to be free now.)
My knee-jerk reaction to this headline was that it’s kinda funny. That reflects poorly on me. My third reaction to the headline is that Curtis Luper needs to e-mail this to recruits. I’m not feeling too guilty about that thought.
Rollison has been approved by the NCAA and is enrolled at Auburn.
I read two interesting things just now: Florida will be moving away from their typical spread offense to cater the skill sets of the players on the roster. In contrast, Auburn’s Gus Malzahn talks more of having a specific offense in mind and is dead-set on recruiting to fit that exact offense. I like Auburn’s high-risk, big-reward mentality - but it’s scary at the same time.
The NCAA hits Alabama with vacation.
Ultimate Swagger: Richardson has the nerve to commit to Auburn while visiting another school’s campus! Take that UAB!
I would make fun of this; but I don’t want to look like a hypocrite when my rock opera “The Story of Al Borges” (starring Meat Loaf) debuts on Broadway.
US News ranks Auburn, AL as one of the top 10 places to live.
The first sentence pretty much discredits anything else you might read.
Reader hillrya sends in this hilarious chart - tackling the joke which is my integrity.
The cornier the name, the better the results. “Big Cat Weekend” is a big success. Auburntron has pictures.
Bobby Lowder is stepping down as Colonial Bank’s CEO to focus more on his day job.
Another good Chizik interview… a few of these responses bother me a little more than they should.
CFN posts their Auburn preview;
General Preview
Offense
Defense
Auburn Undercover interviews Gene Chizik. New article coming tonight. If not, I’ll send you all refunds.
Also, new shirts are in the works… e-mail me ideas if you have any.
Auburn graduate and Gamespot.com editor Brian Ekerg gives a preview for NCAA Football 2010. I only have a Wii and I was pretty disappointed with the game last year.
You can see Brian wearing a vintage ‘Gorgeous Borges’ shirt in this Gamespot video.
I keep seeing this New Yorker article, “How David Beats Goliath“… The JCCW and Smart football have already commented on how it related to college football and Auburn. I disagree with their analysis (which is rare) - I hope to get an article up about it within the next day or two.
Charles Barkley accidentally hits a guy with a golf ball. It reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg joke.
Chizik seems to paint a pretty dark picture for the upcoming season.
Sorry for the lack of updates… I’m in Delaware all week. I’ll provide a fresh batch of limo cartoons and some written words soon.
College Football News ranks the top 20 new coordinators… Roof ranks #10 and Malzahn is #1 (ahead of Monte Kiffin). Awesome! Unfortunately, one obvious “top new coordinator” is omitted from the list, which undermines the list and sports journalism as a whole.
Texas Representative Joe Barton compares the BCS to communism during a house hearing. I dislike the BCS, but the hypocrisy (or ignorance) here is pretty disgusting.
“You never see a dog barking at a parked car, they only bark when the car is rolling. When you hear people out there barking about what we are doing, you know we are rolling.” -Trooper Taylor
Insinuating Bama fans are dogs? If the banner wasn’t cursed, I’d put Taylor up there ASAP.
Hahahahahahaha… I take back any misgivings. This is hilarious/awesome.
