Yep. Gus Malzahn has done what they said wouldn't happen he has RR coming to take a visit on January 30th. Take note that this is the same weekend that Kendall Kelley and Clint Moseley are taking their visits....as has been reported by Mr. Goldberg. Moseley has been quoted as saying he was taking his visit on the 30th to help recruit KK and now it seems he will be courting RR as well. I hope Mr. Moseley has some sales talent and can show these young men that he is the real deal....and that they would benefit coming to AU. Regardless of whether either RR or KK commits to AU this is an excellent example of the job that the coaches are doing on selling AU to prospects. Kudos go out to the coaches for aiming high and being relentless on the hunt for top talent to come to AU. It will be an interesting next few days....I hope that the rumors about Johnnie Farms ditching his plans to visit AU are untrue or if they are that he reconsiders and makes the trip, AU could use him and he would be a fine addition to the Tigers. Regardless.....so far I would have to give Coach Chizik an "A" to this point in everything he has done. War damn Eagle.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen......

or rather Fans, Students, Alumni, lend me your ears......WE MUST UNITE! The argument is over Gene Chizik is our Head Coach for better or worse. We need to turn the page and let the argument die over who would have been a better choice.....we have almost unanimously agreed that we would have rather had Gill but that will not happen no matter how we feel.

On the defense of the racism card that fairly or unfairly has been played. Defend Auburn University because you defend yourself, and your institution. But be careful you don't defend the wrong thing. I have made several comments stating this stance but I felt maybe a fan post would be a better forum. I do not see the logic of defending the people we denounce as being Dictators or Overlords of our beloved University on charges of racism. I don't know if they are guilty or innocent so I'm damned sure not going to defend them. It is wasted energy and assenine to defend them because there is not one of us who can prove or disprove that they are guilty or innocent. I understand the ire, I feel it too, of having accusations of racism come up at every instance possible.....especially by those who would paint us as backwoods hillbillys living on dirt roads with no dental hygene. But think about it folks time would be better spent demonstrating that regardless of the motives of the Board of Trustees and their puppet Jay Jacobs, that racism does not apply to Auburn University because Auburn University is not a few power hungary boosters it is us the Auburn family. Let the Powers that be defend themselves, and if they can't that is their problem and should be handled appropriately by not only us but the State of Alabama which our University is a part of. What I am saying is this....it doesnt matter at this point whether you agree or disagree that racism was an issue with the hiring of Gene Chizik it is percieved and before you jump to defend those accused you need proof. It's not like the people accused are people that we want to protect....to the contrary they are people we loathe. If I had proof that they were innocent I would defend them vehemently and present that proof (and constantly call for their resignation). But there is no such proof available to us. The Board of Trustees and Jay Jacobs should have to answer for this......not Auburn University.....when you defend them you actually put the University more into the dendants chair because you are Auburn University. Oppose the Board of Trustees and Jay Jacobs because of the misuse of power and money.......don't defend them with out proof one way or the other.

Rivals.com is reporting....

Chizik has been offered and has accepted the Auburn Head Coaches position.....if this is true we are doomed......

The powers that be have made a mockery of Auburn University and its fans and alumni......band together shout as one voice and tell them they are loathed and must leave now. I am through giving my money to Auburn University until Lowder and his cronies are gone and Jacobs is fired. We are Auburn where the few rule the many we are Auburn the laughing stock of the nation. We are Auburn. Who wants Chizik over Tuberville? Over Gill? Over most anyother goofy name on the list that was interviewed. This is unbelievable and unacceptable JAY JACOBS MUST RESIGN NOW OR BE FIRED!

My heartache.....

We have been lied to and disregarded by the people in charge of our University. The people in charge do not think that our voice matters. What can we do about it? Stop supporting....sure our donations individually don't amount to much. But collectively they are large. Don't support Colonial Bank....if you use that bank stop now.....withdraw every penny that you have there and put it somewhere else.....don't use a Colonial Bank ATM.....don't patronize Colonial Properties or their tenants. Write letters not just to the University President but to the Govenors Office, State Representatives, and News papers.....inundate and saturate every outlet and office. The manipulation of our Alma Matre by the few that would treat it as their personal kingdom must stop and the only way to do that is through a united voice and united actions. DO IT NOW!
