  1. When I first saw it I thought it might be a penalty play, but after I thought about it I realized the kicker was a potential tackler if a return was on. Remember on the "Kick Six" return, the Alabama holder, Cody Mandel, had the last best chance to tackle Chris Davis and how many times have you seen a kicker make a saving tackle?
  2. I remember seeing Ed Dyas play. I went to a game at what was then "Cliff Hare" stadium but Dyas was held out of the game because of a broken jaw. We lost that day. It was probably 1959 or !960. He became an orthopedic surgeon after his college football career. I believe this image shows Ed Dyas (Auburn road whites) being chased by Pat Dye (#60) for UGA.
  3. If players have been suspended, doesn't that mean they cannot attend class? If they cannot attend class, would't this eventually effect their eligbility since they would not be making acceptable academic progress? I haven't seen this discussed anywhere else so I decided to post this to see if anyone knows if this could be an issue.
  4. I think "a second" cost the TAAAAAAAAAD the 2013 Iron Bowl!
  5. I remember playing pickup basketball with him at Auburn years ago in the old barn that has since burned down. Don't laugh, Pistol Pete Maravich played in that place. He wasn't a mean guy, I mean he wasn't throwing elbows and knocking people down. He just wanted to play ball. Also, he had the best hand-eye coordination of anybody I have ever been on a court with. You good not bounce pass a ball to him that he couldn't corral while he was cutting to the basket. Of course we weren't playing football so there is that.
  6. I think I remember seeing players walk to the field house, in the bottom left corner of this photo, after games. I think that building housed most of the athletic offices also. Hard to imagine Pat Sullivan and Terry Beasley played in this stadium but they must have because they were there for the sixty-nine, seventy, and seventy-one seasons. Their fame probably contributed to the seventy-five version of the stadium that looks much improved.
  7. Like a lot of the truly good ones: Gone too soon!
  8. You are probably correct in your assessment and in the process of quitting he probably established himself as the most hated and reviled former Auburn head coach of all time.
  9. I read that there may be academic issues with him transferring to AU. I wouldn't count RA out of anything. I saw him make some great throws this year and he is a tremendous runner and fierce competitor. I think there is a possiblity that he can develop into a fine SEC QB. A good o-line and a little more emotional maturity may be all he needs to progress. I look at it like this: He looked much better this season than Cam Newton did during his Spring Game at AU. There is no way I imagined how much Cam Newton would improve from that performance, win the Heisman, and become an Auburn legend.
  10. Where did he touch the ball in this video. Clearly he didn't touch it on the way down and the ball was moving away from him on the bounce up. What am I missing here? Is my vision that bad? Did the officials not see this video? Has the video been altered? What?
  11. I dropped out of school (Auburn) in 1969 and got drafted in October of 1970. Went to basic training at Ft.Polk and AIT at Ft.McCellan. Sent to Vietnam in 1971 and came home in 1972. I was one of three in my family (cousins) to go to RVN and sadly I am the only one that came home alive. The two that died were both better people than me and they were both married. That is a burden I carry to this day. Some of what happened is my fault, but I came from a fractured family and it is just hard not to do stupid things when you are 19/20 years old. After the military I returned to school and graduated from Auburn in December of 1975. I worked for (41) years after college. I owe my career to Auburn University and the professors that taught me. Veterans Day and especially Memorial day are hard days for me and I imagine many others on this board.
  12. Not that it matters but I graduated there in December 1975. My dad was an Auburn fan so I became an Auburn fan. Always have been always will be. You almost never meet a bad Auburn fan and it doesn't matter if they attended school there or if they didn't. Call me naive, but I just think that most people that support Auburn are genuinely decent human beings. There really is just something about Auburn and Auburn people.
  13. If this story is true, Harsin is absolutely cooking his future coaching career. If this story is true, something must be wrong with the guy!
  14. CBH has completely misjudged the talent on his roster. The evaluation of the talent level on the O-line is the most egregious error of all and that has left him with no base offense. We can't run the inside zone or the outside zone. We basically can't run the ball leaving us dependent on a young QB that is usually running for his life and is struggling with the passing game. All of the offensive woes are exposing the D to far too many plays on the field and that is beginning to take a toll. The competition continues to get tougher from here. I think most on this board can imagine what the rest of this season holds. My hope at this point, is that the team keeps playing and that all with NFL potential realize their dreams. I thank every last player on the roster for coming to AU and giving everything they have for the team. Auburn football will be back; It will be a while.
