  1. A former neighbor of mine was a pitcher for the Royals years back and I seem to remember his wife mentioning that if a paid athlete plays in any road games where state income tax is levied, then the athlete must also file a tax return in that state. I'm not an accountant so I'm not familiar with current tax laws, but if this is still the case, it could get messy if a filing is missed.
  2. I soured on the whole concept of silent commits when Tater Tot sold us a fake bill of goods. I’m still not a fan, but at the same time realize they still may serve a purpose on a case by case basis so I trust the coaches to know what’s best.
  3. My take was that Bird is referring to Coach Jeff Grimes, but I could be mistaken.
  4. My former father-n-law lived in Tuscaloosa and was scheduled to play at Augusta National about 12 years ago. Wouldn't you know that a snow storm hit and dumped about 12 inches on them and he couldn't even make it out of the driveway, so he never made it there. He was a scratch golfer and had about 8 holes in one when he died.
  5. Yet another reason to question why Harsin wasn't fired for cause!
  6. This guy appears to be a heckuva consolation prize since we missed on Bolden. And I mean this as the highest complement! I doubt any coach ever gets every player they pursue.
  7. If most of us knew we would be where we’re at now 6 months ago, we’d have have taken it in a heartbeat. As long as we hang on to our Courtney commits and finish strong we’ll be fine. We knew this rebuild would be a project and Rome wasn’t built in a day!
  8. I just saw that Trovon Reed tweeted: We ain’t done yet! Is that in reference to Bolden?
  9. It's in the title for this thread. My guess is they changed it to accommodate local reporting.
  10. Hugh must be going for the trifecta! Flip a commit from Kirby, Saban, and Kiffin.
  11. I'll take "Things I Wish I Could Unsee" for $500.
  12. So hard to name just one player. Terry Beasley and Kevin Green.
  13. It's a tough break but it's hard to blame any kid for wanting to go to Stanford.
  14. 1989 Iron Bowl 1994 LSU Game 2009 West Virginia (Rain Game) The weather was terrible but the fans stayed and the team never quit after being down 14-0 early. It rained so hard that I had to empty the lap of my poncho every 30 seconds.
  15. The student code of conduct at Auburn isn't worth the paper it's written on! It's enforced or ignored on a case-by-case basis, depending on political implications. I know this for a fact because my daughter was a victim in an on-campus incident that occurred about 6 years ago that involved a former cheer leader. We presented a plethora of evidence in a student conduct hearing (including a number of direct violations, a written statement from the Director of Campus Security confirming the violations, and voice and recording of the perp admitting guilt), initially received a favorable verdict, only to have it overturned on appeal. I then spoke with some local attorneys in Opelika and they told me that the office of Student Affairs was a complete joke and their hearings were nothing more than a Kangaroo Court. In my opinion they didn't have the stomach for the details so they just decided to go through the motions.
  16. I can’t even begin to imagine what you would do when Hugh brings home a Natty…
  17. I’ve had the same question. My guess is that Harsin would have likely filed a lawsuit and that AU Admin and legal council just paid him to go away. Insurance companies do it all the time when it’s cheaper to settle than litigate. Also, bammur media would have portrayed in as negatively as possible.
  18. You’ve got it brother! 🙏🙏🙏
  19. That 1970 game against Ga. Tech was my first AU game as a kid. I remember Sullivan and Beasley lighting up GT and Eddie McShan, and then at the end of the game walking across the field and under the stadium to the gate outside the players locker room where we waited to greet the players and coaches. I met Sullivan, Beasley, Shug and got my game program autographed by each of them and many others. I knew that very day that I would end up attending college at Auburn. I'd give anything to re-live those few hours!
  20. Negative! Mrs. Golf said @augolf1716can’t last over 15 seconds…
  21. The thread title sounds like an advertisement for Viagra. I bet @augolf will be really disappointed when he sees the actual content.
  22. I'll be danged if StatTiger doesn't run circles around Jethro Bodine and all of his ciphering!
