Tanks Buddy

http://youtu.be/onzhzc3nJNE Tank being Tank.

Had his wife at our house all last week in AL, he was enjoying some time in Mississippi with his family and "new" toys. He will be sorely missed, I have no words to express my sorrow for his wife and mother. Tank, one of a kind, no doubt.

I was at that game (my son is a Sr. there this year). Auburn had a chance to win it, but just couldn't find a way to move the ball in the 2nd half. That is the first game that the Auburn defense has showed up at all. New OC and DC there this year, and they are playing 95% sophomores. Should be fun to watch them grow up once they fully understand the system....not unlike whats going on at Akron this year. Lots of gasps when they showed the Akron/UT score at half, third, etc. I was hoping to see a surprising final score, but just not to be.

Same here, I'm sure we'll run into each other sometime this weekend.

You'll have two new fans there next week. Flying in on Friday and staying through Monday. Can't wait to see the facilities and meet a few of you yankees It's ok to call me a redneck, just don't compare me to anything related to Honey Boo Boo.

Having seen no Akron games last year, I have nothing to compare it to. I did see spark all the way to the end, and it looked like the Zips were just physically overmatched. The turnovers hurt, especially the two giving UCF short fields. I saw at least 4 drops early by WR's that could have stemmed the tide some. No penalties in the 1st half of the first game of the year shows some discipline. I know that the coaches won't let them quit. They'll keep scrapping and fighting all the way. That stadium looks fabulous. Can't wait to see it on 9/29.

How does Akron's size compare with others in the MAC? They look physically small vs. UCF to me. My wife and I are coming up on 9/29 for the Miami game.

Watching a stream from N. Alabama. Moving the ball, and without the drops by the WR's it might be a different game. Was a punt fumbled? Looked away for 10 seconds and missed it.

And if anyone had the chance to talk to him, you'd know he was contrite about his past, and very humble to have a 2nd chance. Whatever team picks him will get a great athlete, and a leader to boot. Sometimes stupid kids make stupid mistakes, but Janoris was fortunate enough to have another chance to redeem himself. He could have gone to the supplemental draft last year I do believe, but instead chose to play another year in college to help dispel the misdoings of his past as best he could. That right there should tell you something. As far as the fullback goes, you'll see them knocking heads blocking, and might sneak out and catch a pass every once in a while. If the fullback is in the game, the defense better strap it up and get ready to take a pounding.

You guys be sure to post the info when it comes out, I might try to make it up for that.

The QB coach will teach these guys how to not only compete, but win. AJ is a proven overachiever and a winner, and a heck of a young man to boot.

on the shrimp on Dreamland (it's only good at the original in Tuscaloosa) Maybe a southern boy can come up and help fire up a gameday grill for ya

Telling the truth here guys and gals, I know for a fact that NZF is NOT Bobby Bowden.

If you have a golf outing, I'll bet Bobby comes. Spent some awesome time with him on the links. What a fine gentleman he is. Expect Terry to just drive up and scare the heck out of you when you're about to hit the ball

A quick note..prior to the 2011 SAU game... The buses made a wrong turn in rural Arkansas, and arrived at the stadium less than an hour before gametime. The first half was lackluster, but the 2nd half was a bit more entertaining.
