Spencer Region Commits To...Auburn?!

[RWS]

If that had happened, then yeah, I'd be pissed.  As y'all should be, because Auburn just stole another "committed" prospect away from the Great Sheban.  I'm a lot smarter than you think.  I knew what you were trying say, but I decided to throw my hook out there to see if it'd snag you....and it did, lol.  BTW, I wouldn't post anything about him being "paid", unless da skreets inform me of it.  Similar to the Bobbie Massie situation, what's really funny is, y'all got outbid by Ole Miss.

I'm not pissed about AU landing him. As I've said before, I'm not going to get upset about a 17 year old kid doing what he thinks is best for his career. Its going to shape the rest of his life, not mine. You're a moron to get mad at a recruit for his decision. But to "commit", knowing damn good and well you are intentionally stringing everybody along, right up until the second you make your announcement? Thats some bullshit. Had a recruit that had been singing the praises of AU done the EXACT same thing and switched from AU to UA at the last second, after he had told media outlets right before his commitment that he is AU bound and to post stories, you would have all kinds of conspiracy theories, and you damn well know it. And you wonder why folks like Andrew Bone aren't too happy with Region.

AAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

[Kaos]

Yep. He announced a PC for Friday to announce his commitment after receiving an Alabama offer. Then he postponed it for a month. Then he said its back on for Saturday. He committed to Alabama, and gave the following quotes before his commitment/switch:
 
After Alabama's junior day, he even said it was his dream to run out of the tunnel at BDS. Weird much? A few additional notes:

Region told reporters a few minutes ago that he changed his mind at 10:30 this morning.

Said Auburn felt more like family and he wanted to play in more of a family environment.

Would have loved to have had you, but more power to you. Good luck except against Alabama. Sounds kinda fishy, and totally scripted if you ask me.

So am I to take it you are surprised? 

And what's that smell?  It's like rotting fruit.  Maybe some grapes have gone sour.

FUCK Andrew "I got rug burn from Saban's" Bone.  Fucking douchebag.

Kaos, Prowler's on my side and there's nothing you can do about that.

There's nothing I'd want to do about that. 

Peas. Pods.

Not sure who to pity more...

Alright! Enough is enough!

STOP this "University of Auburn" shit right now!

[The Prowler]

Alright! Enough is enough!

STOP this "University of Auburn" shit right now!

Why?  the University of Auburn has landed every recruit that it has gone after....EVERY Recruit.

[War Eagle!!!]

True. Stop selling family. Stop selling the University. Stop selling the great atmosphere we have. Sell the most important thing: The right name of Auburn University. If they don't get the right name, they shouldn't be allowed to play...

[bottomfeeder]

I'll bet they get it right by the time they graduate. Which is more than inbREDU can say when looking at their graduation rates.

[AUChizad]

We didn't want Marcus Lattimore or Byran Jones anyway.

[The Prowler]

We didn't want Marcus Lattimore or Byran Jones anyway.

Yeah....because Auburn University was recruiting them.  If there is any video out there of them saying The University of Auburn as being one of their choices, then I'll change my statement to "just about every recruit".  But, since I don't remember ever hearing them say The University of Auburn, my statement stands true.  The University of Auburn gets who they want...and all of Coach Sheban's recruits belong to The University of Auburn, if they're wanted.

Didn't even imply that. How's your jump to conclusions mat? You are a fucking moron for implying such. You think any other "major" school puts up with that shit? Hell no. Just because we are Auburn doesn't mean we have to take it in the ass. Stop bending over and start acting like we matter - matter enough to get the name right. Yes, it does matter and yes, it does mean something to a lot of people who don't give a damn about football.

Pretty much everybody is. His mother was wearing Alabama gear, for crying out loud. Again, I don't mind AU beating Alabama out for a recruit. I certainly don't mind AU winning a hard fought battle for a recruit, i.e., Ladarius Owens. Sure, he put off his commitment I think twice, but he handled his entire recruitment very well. No games, no playing with people. Handled things with the utmost class and respect. Region? Not so much.

Damn, you are a half empty dipshit.  You do realize that Auburn University is recruiting KIDS that are being recruited by Universities of _______ all across the Country.  Heaven Forbid the kids for saying the University of Auburn, while in front a 100 of their peers or Millions watching on TV.  

I DEMAND that these kids not get nervous and never mispronounce the school that they're going to attend for the next 3 to 5 years.

Also, sensible....how's the Auburn Coaching staff recruiting now?  You said previously that it was a "fail", still think it's a fail?

Hmmm. 

I think he brings up an interesting athletics vs. academics point.  I know for a fact that there are many people at Auburn (and every college) who don't give the first damn about football at all.  There are many who hate what it represents, hate the attention it brings and are disgusted that borderline students are celebrated while those who excel in their classwork often toil in relative anonymity.

For that segment of the population, the fact that the kid says the name of the school correctly is more important than his 40 time. 

These kids are hardly the only ones making this error, though.  the ESPN talking heads, particularly that doof Holtz, often do it.

You tried reeeealy hard to come up with a way to disagree with Prowler this time, didn't you?
