SEC Network Championship Preview Show

GumptownTiger — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:49:10 -0000

If you live in or around Montgomery, WCOV FOX 20 will be airing the SEC Championship Preview Show tonight after the 9 O'Clock news. It'll start around 9:35. Just a heads up for any bammers in the River Region who may want to check it out. FOX 20 will also show an encore of the show Saturday morning at 11am for anyone who misses tonight's broadcast. For anyone outside The Gump, your local SEC Network affiliate should also be airing the special since it was included with the SEC affiliate package. Good luck to y'all this Saturday, should be a classic game.

Hey Guys,

Wondering if I can get some info on gameday in Athens. My brother is heading up for the game and has never been. Can y'all offer any advice on parking, game day events or any must see/do stuff while he's in town?

I've been to Athens and it is awesome, but I've never been to a game so I basicaly have zero advice to help him out. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. I know he's gonna have ablast cause the UGA fans are easy to get along with, but I don't want to leave him high and dry.

Anyway good luck this weekend, hope it's a good game, but I hope the Auburn Tigers come out on top. I think I'm at 75 words do I'll shut up now.

Thanks.

Just for fun. Heres a classic Auburn v. Georgia pic I'm surprised I haven't been seeing all week.

Lowder article

GumptownTiger — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:46:10 -0000

Here is an article I was sent by a friend on Bobby Lowder. It deals with his time on the AU board, the rise and fall of colonial, and some other stuff on how the two are intertwined. A good piece that goes to show the kind of guy he is. I especially like the ending which quotes from the Alabama constitution:

Section 60 of the Alabama constitution provides that "no person convicted of ... infamous crime, shall be ... capable of holding any office of trust ..." For now, that's not him.

there is something about that that just warms my heart.

Alabama may be beatin on people, but they still have to claim this Dbag

Sorry for the bama content, but just too good to not post. seriously, this guy actually took time out of his life to do this. not just once, but several times. this is by far the most awesomely awful alabama bs i have seen in so long. the bammers can post as many photoshopped pics of AU fans wearing Auburn stuff spelled wrong, but it will never ever be as awesome as this dbag. i know it is partly an act, but deep down... is it?

This guy is a great rep for you guys. Congrats.

Saban makes another Forbes top ten list

Saban makes another Forbes top ten list

He is listed in the top ten of Forbes Most hated atheletes poll. Funny, I didn't know he qualified as an athlete. Did I miss something?

I will say he is the only one on the list who seems to be there based more on envy than anything welse. The other athletes are felons, cheaters, liars and just palin dicks. Except of course for McEnroe, who is the man.

Antonio Goodwin commits

GumptownTiger — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:30:40 -0000

Well we lost Grant to Bama which is disappointing, Considering he's from Opelika it is really disappointing. I think it had to do with where he would play at AU and where he would play at Bama. Bama offered him a spot at slot receiver which is what he said he wanted to play all along. To my knowledge AU never was able to guarantee him that.

The good news is that we just got a commitment from Antonio Goodwin, one of the top WR prospects in the country. The 4 star recruit has known for a while that he was bound for AU but he didnt verbally commit til today.

At the end of the day WR is where we need talent, we've got backs. It sucks to lose a guy from down the road, but getting Goodwin is pretty sweet.

"Hottest Auburn Blog on The Net"

Was cruising around th world wide web this morning and ended up over at Jay Tate's HABOTN (Hottest Auburn Blog On The Net).

I know a lot of you are familiar with Jay and his coverage of Auburn. Being from "The Gump" I have been reading his AU coverage for quite sometime. I don't always agree with him but overall his coverage is usually pretty good. He keeps you informed of small changes as they happen.

What I saw today that led me to post this is the piece he did on Roof in yesterday's Montgomery Advertiser (which as a paper is only usually worth reading on Sunday). Interesting piece that deals with Roof's struggles early on and how his coaching strategy will change at AU. One thing that concerns me is this:

"Roof feels like Auburn has enough talent to bang with the big teams in the SEC".

We have some talent that is for sure, but do we have the size? It will also be interesting to see how Roof's personality meshes with those of his players. Tate describes him as a blustery/non yeller (how that works IDK)

Tate is featuring a new staff member everyday or week (I dont recall which) He has also featured Malzahn, but there really is nothing new in that one.

Anyway check it out. Pretty good stuff.
