I attended last night--my first Auburn basketball game! The other team's big guy was fun to watch. He looked winded out there early on, so I thought we'd run circles around him by the middle of the half. Hardly. I'm not sure how he rated as a recruit or rates as a pro prospect, but I'd take two or three guys with his drive (and you can toss in his size for an added bonus) any year. I noticed one little funny thing that didn't make TV. When one of our guys went to the bench during a free throw attempt, Coach Person was the first to put his hand out. The player (don't remember for the life of me who it was, not that a name would boost the story) didn't see it and zoomed past to be congratulated by others. Person just sat there looking perturbed and kept his hand in the same spot after the kid had sat on the bench. Another one of our players saw Chuck's hand out, so he reached over a couple other guys to shake it!

Yeah Brent, not a great punt/
