The Quotable Pike

He ain't shy!
Our young QB signee has answers...before the questions are even asked. It might be refreshing for some to hear anything other than the usual coachspeak. But he looks to be paving his way into a booth on Saturdays. I just cannot imagine this dude taking a redshirt season. Looks like Gus has his hands full.

Hells Yeah!!! We landed my #1 prospect, all the rest is just gravy. I'm gonna get to sit back and enjoy the rest of recruiting. I wasn't able to really enjoy last year's recruits (when they committed to Auburn) until my #1, Kris Frost, stopped fuckin around and decided that Auburn was really where he wanted to be.

Y'all know Trooper lied to this kid about being offered a job with the Cowboys, which will result in the NCAA, FBI, CIA, ATF, Secret Service, Special Forces, Rangers, Marines, and SEALs, to descend on Auburn, killing all the men, raping all the women, and selling all the children in to slavery? They will then cut all the oaks down on Samford lawn and Toomer's cornder, and leave the stumps that they will then carve in the likenesses of all the NC winning bammer coaches, plus one of Harvey Updyke, and one of Shane from Centerpoint.

Well...yeah. But right now, Zeke Pike is a badass. Thank God that Coach Troop's decision to stay at Auburn was the reason why Zeke decided on Auburn.

TW,
I see Auburn with the black hat for the years ahead. Young Pike's confidence will not be received well by opposing camps. And I hope he backs it up like he tells it.

I would love Auburn to get a rep as a bad ass uber-confident QB producing team. First, Cam, now Pike, with Malzahn the wizard behind the curtain. Works for me.

Besides, I look good in black. Fuck 'em.

So...I guess Frazier should just go ahead and accept riding the pine?

Frazier is pretty talented, AND will have a year's experience on him. Can't replace experience, even if it's just being on campus, and learning the playbook. I'm thinking Frazier plays next year, and Pike Red Shirts...but hey, that's a long way in the future.

Absofuckinglutely NOT!

I'm just a spectator but:
I just can't see either riding the pine and how many 4 star pluses actually stick it out for the entire ride anyway? Yes, even Dyer.

Frazier is a perfect fit for the NH.

A personality like Pike will be bucking on a sideline. Hope that's a good thing. Redshirt? Okay by me.

The youngun here is all hat till he suits up. And he seems to feel a irrepressible need to speak rather freely, which was why I posted the topic. He said more in three minutes than most other Auburn QB's have actually "said" in their entire PLAYING careers...minus the usual company line. But I want what everybody here wants (w exceptions) and that is victory, with whomever gives Auburn it's best chance.

TBS, I want Trotter and/or Moseley to claim this team as Cam did, though much depends on how well the front develops and learns to play together.
Coach Grimes will deliver in any case.

It's all part of the master plan. The highly touted athletic QB from Arkansas signs and takes the reigns from the odd looking incumbent white guy. The team then brings a new freakishly large QB prototype. The athletic QB swallows his pride, steps up before his team, and tells them he supports the new guy who is just lip quiveringly awesome. This inspires everyone to pull together as they rally to the national championship while adopting "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" as a theme song.

Look for Auburn to repeat this pattern every other year until it quits working. I've heard that T-Will already has about 10 Motown hits lined up to inspire the team for years to come.

Testify, sister. We have the hottest senior coaching staff in college football. Even the Roofer doesn't bring down the average - some women like that older man thing.

It's a win win no matter what you want coordinated.
