  1. AHS probably takes football way more seriously than Arkansas....
  2. Two SEC west teams now looking for a new head man. aTm did not renew Childress and Mainieri has announced his retirement from LSU. Not sure where either of those programs will be looking (assume LSU will make a run at Bianco), but Alan Greene should be at least a little bit nervous.
  3. Steven Williams will go down as one of the all time great "program" guys. I freaking love that guy for what he has meant to this program, pretty sure he'll get a chance to catch on professionally. I'll say it one more time, in my opinion that is the prettiest swing to ever grace the left handed batter's box of Planinsman Park. War Damn Eagle Steven Williams.....
  4. The fools gold of what our offensive stats are. We have zero situational awareness.
  5. It's more about being in position to block. I understand the one knee advocates think it allows the C to get in better position to receive at the bottom of the zone and "push" the mitt up on receipt. Pitchers in this league have it drilled into their heads to miss down (as missing up leads to 400' deposits), but it can absolutely be done without going straight to a knee. As we saw in the top of the eighth last night, with a runner on third, it's a 50/50 proposition that the C can get to a ball in the dirt properly from that position. It just shouldn't be tolerated, much less promoted. Check out the Arkansas C (Optiz), and notice the "hop" into outstanding position with runners on base which our guys DO NOT DO. This is how it should be done....
  6. I just can't watch the garbage behind the plate any longer. We really need a legit catching coach. Williams, Dial, LaRue....doesn't matter, they are all receiving from their knees. Lazy with nobody on, and absolutely ridiculous with runners on base. I'm the biggest Butch supporter, but c'mon man find somebody to teach the position......
  7. Thank you for being ever vigilant in your service to society and this board, if not for you...nobody would've noticed. That would have been tragic for certain. On another note, I'm really curious how much time it takes a fellow to make in excess of EIGHTEEN THOUSAND posts to a single message board. You take this AUFamily thing lifer or death serious I guess.
  8. Nothing to do with Auburn, but wow what a stadium. Oklahoma State has had to suffer through the past year with a $60 Million facility locked up. A single benefactor donated $35 Million to the cause and got his name put on it. Big 12 cancelled the season just eight days before OSU was to play their first game in this gem.... https://tulsaworld.com/sports/photo/gallery-a-look-at-oklahoma-states-60-million-obrate-stadium/collection_ce65a0dd-fd3c-5d0c-8a65-01420cdcb2b2.html
  9. The '99 season was absolutely miserable, but for the one night that I sat in Sanford Stadium we looked liked we could beat anybody.... Ronnie Daniels' stat line that night - 9 receptions for 249 yards and 2 TD's. He made Ben Leard look like Johnny Unitas that night in front of his first love.
  10. Kid has the physical tools to be impossible to defend against. It would be criminal to have him add 50 pounds and move to OT, but I'm afraid that's in the back of somebody's mind.
