Not a whole lot to tell really.
Backstory: I was up in AU helping a friend setup his motorhome for the season got most of the stuff done Friday. Decided to hangout in AU and come home Sunday. We decided to drive by JHS to see the scoreboard up close and also see if AU Bookstore was open (it wasn't) couple of things. The board as we all know is massive, you can't however really comprehend it until you see it.
This is from Wire Road passing through the light at Shug you can see the damn thing from further back down Wire. (click on the picture it will zoom in)
As we drove onto campus we noticed a shit ton of people walking into the stadium.
We decided to park and see what the fuss was all about, I wondered if maybe they were just letting people in to see the board. My buddy walked up and found out it was for the uppity-ups (see: Snaggle) Scholarship donors, they had security and folks with badges. My buddy has 4 season tickets but is not a scholarship donor, so no dice. Being the Godfather as we were walking to the bookstore I was trying to see if any of the other doors to JHS were open. With a little convincing I got my buddy to join me walking in through the back way, telling him trust me just act like you own the place. Once inside we made a beeline for the interior concourse and were home free.
Auburn was holding a practice for the Snaggle wannabes. The board is fucking awesome and much to my surprise was not overloaded with ADs.
As you can see from the picture.
It also appears that they added to the ribbon boards taking them all the way to the end of the upper deck. What we heard of the sound system was ok, honestly didn't really sound any different to me, but they didn't really play a lot.
As for the scrimmage itself just some
observation notes:
- Muschamp was the only coach you could hear. You only heard his whistle and him yelling.
- If players fucked up they did 20 push-ups. This included QB's Tucker Tubs threw a pick he was down doing push-ups.
- Most of the practice was them in their individual groups. I walked down and took some pictures of the QB group. Jeremy towers over everyone else.
- They ran a 15 minute tackle scrimmage at the end. Everyone was live including the QB's but it appeared to be all the new guys and the 3rd and 4th stringers.
- Tyler Queen (Hey Queen) was running one group, Tucker Tubs was running the other. I was impressed with Queen. He is a big boy looks kind of like Tebow when he runs it, doesn't take anything out of bounds. He throws a pretty good ball he had one 35yard TD to Freshman Darius Slayton who made a nice grab and has some speed.
- Tucker Tubs (god bless the boy) threw a pick and didn't really move the ball much.
- Overall we saw about an hour of practice.
