It was like a bad date. Starts out great (the Cheap Trick part). Then I realized this was not who I really wanted to be with after I listened to her go on and on (the REO part). I left knowing full well I wouldn't be missed. 

Yeah.... oREOs were never my thing.  More into Cheap Tricks.....

Saw them in Bham in the mid 80's when Cheap Trick was opening for them. Actually Cheap Trick was the main reason I went. REO played a long set, then a couple of long encores and my buddy and me couldn't take them any longer and we just left (couldn't fight the feeling any longer). Only concert I ever left early. 

Ain't that a shame

All REO wanted was for you to want them.

My favorite James Bostic run was the one in the second half of the Iron Bowl that sealed the deal.  

The hardest hit he took the entire SEASON was the hit Tony Richardson planted on him in the EZ in celebration after that run LOL!

Back when we recruited those big punishing backs. Steven Davis, Bostic, and Tony Richardson on one roster. Man Tot inherited some hosses. 

And had to continued that type of recruiting he may have lasted longer.

He started out with backs like that and ended up with backs like Rusty Williams & Demontray Carter, who together probably didn't weigh as much as Stephen Davis.

Man. I've seriously never considered that, in 27 years. I've always thought about it at the team level but never the individual level, and never about how much that actually influences the overall perception of that team even among Auburn fans. I was a freshman that year so I was at every home game and one road game. But a lot of fans might have not have laid eyes on that team once all season. Great point. 

Yessir.  The only real exposure he/they got was the Pat Dye shows on Sunday.  And believe it or not, the NCAA even limited the number of plays they could show as punishment as well.

Of course I got the '93 commemorative..... VHS, HA!  So there's THAT too...

One of my all-time faves!

As for why he's not thought of as much, unfortunately his two BA seasons were Pat Dye's last (terrible) year and when he really shined he was on the best team never seen in '93 during the TV blackout.

I think the results of the '93 team, and the $$$$ that could have been made off of them, is why you probably won't see any more TV blackouts if the NCAA ever has the guts to honestly investigate *cough* bammer *cough* and put a team on probation.  Sure, it may be punitive to cost that school recruiting exposure, but it's just as punitive to the conference & NCAA to cost them the TV $$$$.  The scales will evermore balance on the side of $$$$.  If anything, they'll simply keep the TV $$$$ for themselves as the punishment and take more scholarships away....but at least the team will be on TV.

If it happened to me, your sentence would have ended there.  😵

Even with all the covid-crazines we were actually able to go to Venice Beach last weekend.  Outside of all concessions being closed, etc. and people not being able to park their blankets & umbrellas on top of each other (which is actually an IMPROVEMENT!!!!) everything else seemed fairly normal.  People mostly seemed to act properly so it was good.  We just walked a bit and the girls picked up shells (I just have a hard time in the sand with my neuropathy....se la, right?) but they had a good time.

On the way home to North Port, which is the freakin' rain capital of the Southeast (ARRRRRGGHHHH!!!!!) we were blessed by a rainbow, which followed us all the way home.

God bless!

Now that's funny as hell.

Can't tell you how many times I've seen that happen or almost happen after a guy has way way too many. To many beers and golf don't always mix and never ever play for real money while drinking. Hell one time I had a guy line up to hit the ball in the opposite direction and this was on the tee box

Aww..MAN!  Especially in SW Florida in the dead of summer.  I've played with idiots who downed 12 packs and never even CONSIDERED some water in between.

One guy, I played with literally almost had the ranger call an ambulance!

Nothing wrong with any of that. 92 is not bad I could make you a 82-85 within a 2/3 weeks

Brother, if it weren't for this neuropathy that has removed playing golf from life, I wish I could take you up on it.

That is one of my true regrets with this cancer (really more the chemo than the cancer itself) are the athletic endeavors that I can no longer enjoy.

On a lighter note, I must admit watching me swing today would probably be pretty dang funny.... My driver would fly further than the ball and since I can barely feel the front half of my feet I'd be on my face immediately after, LOL!

Nope I was a Bern Hogan attire golfer but I did have longer hair

Oh my!  Love the Hogan, Palmer styles...nice!

I was old Wal-Mart shorts whatever polo I coukd find.  That way, in my mind, "I snuck up on em".  Then I'd shoot a 92 and realize it was actually me just not belonging...

Huh. Always picture Golf with shorter hair. 

(Clicked Love but got the "you react too much you emotional dork" message.)

You may be right about the hair, but that's DEFINITELY golf's golfing attire!!!

Wrong forum. It was clearly an honest question and it's already been answered.

Do NOT bring that into this thread. 

After privately thanking you, I want to publicly thank you too.

Love ya' Loof!

God bless!

@AURex I apologize to you too.

Um, victim of what?

 

EDIT:  I was a jerk and I'm sorry.

Ruby made a little bear holding a heart, with clay today. ❤️

I'm not going to get into the politics (nike) or the ncaa/federal legality issues (nike/adidas) but didn't Tubs once have AU with New Balance? 

In my much more athletic days, I also have wide feet and constantly suffered from collapsed arches & shin-splints but NB took care of all of that.

Are they even in college athletics anymore?  I loved their shoes!  Personally, they might give an actual foot support advantage....

As for apparel (and uniforms) if Russell Athletic is even still in business, aren't they actually fairly local to Auburn?  Why not support a local company?

JMO but unless the "sponsor" is illegally paying & leading recruits to your school (which it seems schools & coaches are now getting investigated left & right for) then just use what's best and have a liaison help with preferred design/fashion and be done with it?  I find it hard to believe that Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher, Coach K, etc need a BRAND to recruit top notch talent. 

Just my 2 rusty pennies....
