ellitor 33,093 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Back to Stidham. I forgot to mention I don't think he plans to do any bowl prep even if he signs next week. His plan has been to commit next week then go on a vacation with his family. That vacation would be during AU's bowl practices so he can't do both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerWar 82 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) It seems that Stidham is trending towards Auburn and that would be a game changer for us with the type of talent we have returning.

WeagleTheBeagle 60 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 So is now about the time the coaches and Stidham get into their PJ's and have pillow fights? Break out the Karaoke machine and casette tapes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the people closely connected to the program who talk to them annonymously. Makes sense, but reporting back during the visit seems premature. Just me because I'm in sales...it's typically bad karma to report back to camp the big sale is a "matter of time" or "done deal." And you know if we're getting this feedback, so is the Stidham camp, and so is the Kendal camp, which makes me uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the time info actually occurs to getting to sources to getting to reporters to getting to readers often takes hours if not a few days and that's with the good reporters. This very well could have been info sources got last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I understand your profile name .. haha. Seriously, you are absolutely right about bad karma. I, too, am in sales and have missed out on a "big order coming!" That's why I am cautiously opportunistic JS will sign or enroll soon. Edited December 10, 2016 by AUBwins Prevent thread derailment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my very first sports username, dating back to 2000, when the AF2's Tennessee Valley Vipers were the new football team in Huntsville. There were literally about 5 fans on the internet following the AF2 then. Haven't followed them in 10 years, but the name stuck. 1 minute ago, AUBwins said: Seriously, you are absolutely right about bad karma. I, too, am in sales and have missed out on a "big order coming!" Yeah and it sucks big time. I once had a couple of frosty beverages a few hours prior to a close, thinking it was a slam dunk. Wasn't a big sale lost, but it taught me early on to never think it's in the bag. I've seen too many recruits announced on forums as a "done deal", only to have them slip through AU's fingers. I will do cartwheels through my house if Stidham signs...and break my neck doing so...but NOT until that signature is done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Nothing yet on Stidham? I hope we get some news soon. Some accurate information regardless of it is good or bad would be much appreciated. The Doc has been shut down today. Been having severe chest pains for 3 days, and the MD says that it is not my heart. He said that I have severe hiatal hernia issues. Maybe tomorrow will bring relief to this old run down MD. Being a former MD and to have my career shot down with becoming extremely allergic latex did me in. It was a fast and furious fun time when I was able to help folks get over their health issues. I met so many MDs out there that have no business being in the medical profession. Anyhow, it is time to get back on my feet and start back playing golf in 34 degree weather!

And the only news out there is Auburn continues to feel good but have to wait out just a little bit longer to see where if anywhere KB ends up at.

Is there any on field offensive coaches that could be moved to an off field position with the promise to keep his current salary and get back as an on field position as soon as an opening comes about. Make KB an OC in waiting. Give KB a salary comparable to what he was paid this year at Baylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I have heard good and bad about KB's coaching skills. I would hate to hire someone who is a flop. I would hope that JS is the QB of the decade or more. If we go to the ends of the world to get JS and KB, I hope that the return on the investment with both guys will pay off handsomely. I think I watch too much HGTV sometimes. Watching the Flip or Flop show gives me ideas about what a good investment can yield. I know Chip and Joanna and am friends with them. They are the real deal and are some of the best folks I have ever met. I hate the whole Baylor issue for good folks like the Gaines. I know they love Baylor and attend sporting events. This is a real heart break for those folks. Baylor was one of the schools that we really loved for my son. He had a full scholarship to go there that paid for everything for him. His girlfriend of many years, could only get a partial scholarship to Baylor, and her folks just could not afford the cost difference. I offered to pay the difference on her scholarship, but her parents would not take this in that they are hard working proud folks that I care a lot about. I do hope things will turn out good with landing JS and possibly KB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
