Reminds me of my high school days. We had 5 guys go out for the team, but we kicked ass. Won our region and advanced to the state semi finals. We were upset by Homewood, 21-20, on a last second field goal. They had like 250 guys on their team.

Are you pulling my leg? 250 guys?

Exchange Homewood for Hoover right before Spain Park opened, and yes, 250 would be an accurate number.

That was just the first stringers. We 5 Pell City Panthers held our own. It was the actual basis for the story of 300 - without all the queer stuff they added to the movie.

It's Official.....War Damn Eagle and War Craig Sanders!!! The "Tiger Prowl has struck again!!!" LOL

Quote

"I get a lot of pressure here," said Sanders. "Everybody here is saying, 'You should've rolled with (Nick) Saban.' But I don't care what they say. It's not them going off to college. It's me and I have to do what's best for me.

"With Auburn, it's definitely the coaches. It starts with the coaches. I love those guys. Coach Grimes is a good Christian man. I just enjoy talking to him, and not about just recruiting."

Also, he's an early enrollee, so he'll count towards last year's class...as is Bonomolo and I think Goodwin, so even though the list says that Auburn now has (17), we really have (14) if those are the only ones that'll graduate early....so, that means we can still get (14) more commitments.

Today's gonna be one of those days where you're gonna wanna listen to JOX.

Bammer's simply cannot fathom why this would happen other than they are SO awesome that the weaker of the herd must just be after more playing time. It CANNOT be that a kid gets along better with Auburn's coaching staff, and thinks Saban is a dick. It CANNOT be that a kid may be concerned about textbook/laptop/fishing-tripgate. Why would a kid want to lose to 'Bama every year he's there? Why would he not rather win 4 national championships? Just doesn't make sense!

Already heard it here locally this morning. Literally word for word as predicted.

That boy took a long look at Bammers depth chart and knew he wouldn't set foot on the field with all the 5* talent we got at every position. You thank them Barn coaches ain't tellin' them cruits they can get them some immediate playin' time? Of course they is.

The insufferable bammer at my work (The Bangladeshi guy that parrots quotes he hears from the rednecks on Finebaum) already came by my desk and said this same thing. He rubbed it in my face that we took a recruit from them. It was a clear indication that bammer was so full of talent that we're "taking their scraps"

I was simply stunned.

I listened to my obligatory 5 minutes of Finebaum yesterday. The over/under I set for Sabin's name being mentioned was 47 seconds. I went with the under and walked away with the money. The one caller I heard said he was so pissed cause' it was obvious that Verne wuz pullin' fer Arkansaw. Weren't no question that dang Lindtwist wanted the Hawgs to win. Made me sick.

This AM I have already heard the following:

Excuse #1: "It's all that negative recruiting against bammer and that is why you are seeing kids leave."

Excuse #2: "Yeah, it's a big loss but we will just go out and find someone better."

Excuse #3: "Sanders has been a Auburn commit all along. Ya'll's coaches told him to commit to us so that later on he could decommit and ya'll would get some good PR out if it. Think about it and tell me that doesn't make sense."

Same guy came by my desk again.

"I figured out why he cannot play for Alabama. He is only 6'4 230. Alabama's defensive ends are at least 250. He mostually (his word for most likely) gonna play another position and he doesn't want to do that."

I'm like, "Dude, he's in high school. He can gain 20 pounds after some Yoxercising and a year or two of natural growth."

He hung his head and walked away from my desk.

You did not forget to tell him to take the trash on his way to clean the bathroom. Did you?

You used Yoxercising in an actual sentence. +2... or is it -1?

Jumbo just texted me between his sets at Sammy's to tell me about Sanders.

He said that pole was cooooolllld tonight.

My college roomate Smitty was from Ariton, played both ways all through high school. Sander's is a huge steal for us, WDE.

Hate to lose the kid, but Alabama football will live to see another day without him. Great pickup for you guys. Good luck to Sanders except for when he plays Alabama. No reason to make excuses, just not going to get bent out of shape about a 17 year old kid making the biggest decision of his career. He would have been a great addition to our front 7, but I think we're good there and not much dropoff from 1st string to 2nd string. He will see much more PT at AU, so I can't blame him for doing the best thing for him. Wish we could have held on to him.

You really outdo yourself.
