Mike Raita was talking about the "Tiger Prowl" then right as they were going to commercial break (Reita thought his mike was off) he stated...."Those kids better not pick a school based on a limo."

WHAAAAA. Seriously? I hate that guy anyway. Biggest douche to ever speak at a high school pep rally.

Also, I'm going to write him an email. This is true, right? Not a rumor? If it's true, every one here should write him one too. I don't care if you agree with the limo idea or not; no objective reporter/anchor should give their bias opinion especially in a state that is divided between two teams.

It's not a rumor, it really happened.

Yes it true, but apparently he didn't say the word "Damn". And, they've already fielded tons of phone calls and emails. One poster said that when he called, the lady said that she didn't see anything wrong with it. It's really, really sad that some people/reporters/fans, don't realize that the limo idea wasn't done to say....If you come to Auburn you'll be ridin' like this. No, the idea was done to create a "Buzz", and boy what a buzz it was, plus how else can you comfortably sit 7 coaches together? Auburn wanted to show the State and I guess now the Country, that they're the "Cool" kids at school. "A Dog doesn't bark at a car that isn't moving".

This is what Mike Raita said in response to someone else's email:

Thanks for writing. I'm not sure to what you're refering, I can only imagine
it was a comment I made on the 5:00 news. Perhaps you should've watched. I
said kids shouldn't pick colleges based on whether coaches arrive at their
high schools in limos or not. The comment was lighthearted and purely
innocent.
I fully understand the method of Auburn's madness and personally think it's
a good idea. I even spent time on two newscasts yesterday extolling the
virtues of the "Tiger Prowl" saying that anything that draws positive
attention to Auburn is good for the university. I'm sorry I didn't hear from
you after those newscasts.
Again, thanks for watching and writing.
Mike Raita

PS: given the choice two weekends between attending the A-day game at either
Auburn or Alabama ... do you know which one I CHOSE to go to? Guess.

Any one TIVO him saying the comment?

I found this, at the very end you can hear him say "they better not pick a school based on a limo". But for some reason, when he says it, it sounds like it's out of place....idk.

I would have something to say, but the fact that he looks like a cock with his bald head says enough. I think he needs a new haircut, maybe a

Yes. This was the point of the whole thing. (****SARCASM****)

It's amazing to me that very few have picked up on the fact that while it IS to impress kids that would think this is great, the deeper intent behind this is simple. What shows the high schools and communities Auburn cares more, than showing up TOGETHER to meet and staff and coaches and make something exciting happen all at once in a limo and stop on an all state tour?

It also is an example that the divisiveness that plagued the last staff is a thing of the past. This "Tiger Prowl" is a very public showing of the new united front this staff has put together. There can't be in any rumors about whether these guys like each other, or if they're on the same page, or anything else. Partying and running around together and at least appearing to have a ball together in a limosine shows that it's a new time and something to be excited about.

Regardless of whether you think doing it in this way is a gimmick, the older staff (as good as they might have been at many different things) would have NEVER done something like this.

Does anyone know that answer? I very rarely watch 33/40, so I really don't know where he went on the 18th.

Who gives a fuck. He's saying that like he deserves a fuckin medal of honor or something for going to Chizik's first A-day, which is naturally the more newsworthy event than Sabben's 3rd. Remember the mass hysteria over Sabben Almaghty's first spring game?

He probably went to Auburn because every other bamerham media rep had already called uat and there was a vacancy at Auburn...

you don't need to call anybody "boy" while acting like you do. I would assume you're about 17

So little boy, for game days, do you wear your David Palmer Jersey and a Houndstooth Hat, or just the jersey?

If you actually think that's the point, then you're as fucking stupid as the moronic bammer trolls here.
