Fun fact: The White House Press Secretary hates Bama.

Quickly;

I don’t keep up with the NFL. But, if being fast and strong are good qualities for running backs to have, Ben Tate will probably do well.

Here’s a great list of SEC schools as Star Wars characters. It’s funnier than the article sitting in my mythical unused folder which compares Iron Bowl participants to the houses in Dune.

Gus Malzahn Interview

February 25th, 2010 by TheAuburner

Jay G. Tate interviewed Gus Malzahn. My favorite part is how he mentions that there are some teams that he wants to beat more than others. I don’t think a coach has announced that in public since the 1980s.

I want an interviewer to ask Malzahn about his real name. Thus far, wikipedia is the only source I’ve seen that states his name to be Arthur Gustav Malzahn III. This must be confirmed by someone. Please e-mail your local Auburn beat writers and congressmen.

Tyrik Rollinson is transferring. The War Eagle Reader has a timeline of facebook statuses which chronicle Tyrik’s time on the plains.

I’ll have some unrelated content posted soon.

Snow in Auburn

February 13th, 2010 by TheAuburner

The War Eagle Reader has footage of the snow in Auburn;

I lived in Auburn for five years and I never saw a single snow flake. I did see a few hurricanes – but never snow (or Iron Bowl defeats).

V-day Cards

February 9th, 2010 by TheAuburner

Hey kids, here’s an article of some sorts. It’s just a distraction until tomorrow though which is when the Valentines day cards should be ready. Y’all had some good suggestions yesterday – do you have any more?

Luper Troopers

February 8th, 2010 by TheAuburner

Here’s a quote from Curtis Luper found in the Press-Register this past June:

First-year head coach Gene Chizik has given plenty of freedom to Luper and assistant head coach Trooper Taylor on recruiting matters, but Luper said that doesn’t mean Chizik is absent from the conceptual process. Chizik has vetoed plans that go too far or don’t have a clear purpose.

“He’ll shoot it down or he’ll make us justify ourselves, and he’s always been that type of coach and that type of person,” Luper said. “We know that when we bring up an issue that he’ll want to know how and know why.”

Tonight, I’m posting an article detailing the plans that went to far.

I will use any excuse to make a Blues Brothers reference

February 5th, 2010 by TheAuburner

Just like the movie, Tuberville is getting the band back together at Texas Tech. Fun Fact: One of the Blues Brothers Band members is actually named Don Dunn.

As you’re reading this, it’s likely that Tommy Tuberville is in an office lobby in Albany, Georgia asking people if he can buy their wives and daughters.
