Post (Traumatic) NSD Thoughts

Just a few quick thoughts while I get my head together coming out of one chaotic but still satisfying recruiting season:
If conventional wisdom on the recruiting habits of Nick Saban are true, why can't anyone have success being the anti-Saban? It doesn't seem that hard: four-year deals if you make grades and stay out of trouble versus one-year contracts, no history of fraudulent medical dismissals, immediate scholly instead of a gray shirt, followed by a red shirt, and almost instant playing time? Aren't people supposed to trust a man's word or is the audience not really that tuned in?
I checked. Total scholarships allowed by FBS institutuions is still 85 max and 25 new signees a year. How convuluted is our process if that's so hard to remember?
Trooper Taylor being named to the list of best recruiters three straight years and five times in his career is no surprise to many of us. All you have to do is pay attention to the way many fanbases deride him as a clown and a cheerleader to know they're getting their clocks cleaned by him and his towel.
New Auburn recruit Cassanova McKinzy could probably ink an endorsement deal from Chick-fil-A right now if such things were allowed. After blowing up the message boards last week with college town fast-food preferences supposedly helping to sway his decision, I say right now we nickname him the Chick-fil-A kidand see how much mileage we can get from it. Maybe he'll get some playing time in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game and I'll get a big "I told you so" moment.
West Virginia is backing out of a game next year with FSU because of their conference switch-up and the Noles are threatening to sue. I wonder if they'll give them the 'Auburn' treatment after the Bowden-less Tigers attempted to negotiate what was ostensibly a mutual decision back in 2000 but got vilified by the FSU administration and Bobby Bowden in particular, threatening to have the whole ACC agree not to play us in any sport. Yea, we're still waiting on that bowl match-up, Seminoles.
Auburn fan favorite writer Mark Schlabach has his way-to-early preseason top 25 list and the Tigers are no where to be found. Can't say I necessarily disagree with him at this point before spring practice, but there's no reason why we can't keep the hate going.
From the fish out of water department, I thought Boise playing in the Big East and West Virginia playing in the Big 12 would be the biggest shockers this coming season, but it looks like Boise won't get their shot until 2013, as originally planned. I'll get dollars to donuts that it will be years being the Broncos win the Big East to automatically qualify and by that time there will be no guarantees that conference will still be on AQ status.Purgatory Conference, anyone? For all the malcontents trying to find a permanent home, we offer a temporary one that acknowledges that fact more so than joining un-related teams clear across the country.
I'll catch you next week.

Good stuff
It’s really pathetic the way the media (esp. ESPN) has ridiculed and mocked McKinzy. He was not making a choice based on a fast food chain. It was an attempt at a joke. He had been a strong AU commit for a year and decided to take a free trip. Besides, it’s one thing for message board banter to jump on it, quite another for so called “journalist” to do it.
Blows my mind how adults can deride and make a cartoon character out of an 18 year old. Even if they didn’t think it’s cool, give the kid a break. These recruits are only teenagers, not some sophisticated NFL star.

Pathetic but not s
Anyone who can see through the filter of mass media knows the kid was joking around. However, taking comments out of context is what makes the headlines everyday. Its not like this is an isolated incident.
Welcome to the SEC Cassanova, time for some media training.

Most of these recruits think they are Hercules......
or a decendent of his. The 4 and 5 star recruits that Bama stockpiles aren’t concerned about one year schollys or being greyshirted. Most are arrogant enough to think they will be three year starters and then be 1st rounders to the NFL. I’m sure the anti-Saban approach has been tried, but the bottom line is the guy wins and puts kids in the NFL. Its hard to combat this sales pitch. “Hi I’m Coach Saban. I’ve won three national titles in the last 10 years in the best confernce in America. If you’re up to the challenge, we’d like you to help us win another title and we’ll help you get to the NFL and become a rich man!”
You have to wave your towel a long time to beat that.
Speaking of making money…..if I’m Cassanova, I play that Chikfila thing to the hilt. Think of all the publicity he’s gotten. If he gets to the NFL, thats his first endorsement. If he doesn’t make it to the NFL, he’s almost guaranteed a job there marketing to the universitys. Either way its a good gig. Sometimes you take the opportunities God gives you and say “Thank you!”

My thoughts exactly on Saban
We can bad mouth his ethics, but the man gives bammers exactly what they care about most: results. He has made UAT what they want it to be, a football factory reminiscent of the FSU and Nebraska of the 90’s. College football runs in cycles, and what goes up must come down. By looking at his career path, I wonder if he eventually gets bored and moves on to the next challenge. On the other hand, his failure in the NFL may have taught him a lesson, and he may just ride this horse to retirement.
Personally, I like the way we do things at Auburn. It kind of reminds me of how the NFL approached Pittsburgh about going with the moniker “America’s Team.” Their owner, Mr. Rooney replied “We don’t want to be America’s team, we want to be Pittsburgh’s team.” I personally love the family atmosphere of both the Steelers and Auburn, as opposed to both alternatives.
They gonna be a lot of days when you lay your guts on the line and you come up empty-handed. They ain't a damn thing you can do about it but go back and lay 'em on the line again, and again, and again....You'll keep fightin' like you did today, you'll keep playin' like that, we can build a foundation we can live a looong, long time on at Auburn." -Pat Dye, 1981

I noticed something in the ProBowl….there were several Auburn starters, but I don’t recall a single starter from Bama. (I might have been suffering from selective listening…). But just because Saban gets these guys to the NFL, they still have work to do. I recall one highly touted NFL draftee from Bama, a Giant Linebacker, I believe he went to the Cowboys (in Tub’s last Iron Bowl, Saban put him on Offense just to ram the ball in the end zone one more time….). He missed out on half of training camp because his beautiful contract hadn’t been finalized. Once he got there, he couldn’t hack it…..I don’t know if he shaped up or not. But it was the most entertaining part of watching the Cowboys on HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’. Anyway, point being, if they head to the NFL acting like prima donna’s, they aren’t going to make it. Of course, there will always be Julio Jones’ that will rock out the NFL like they were always meant to…..

Rec'd for this alone
You have to wave your towel a long time to beat that.
While I respect what Trooper Taylor does and the accolades he’s earned, there’s a part of me that prefers Saban’s approach (if not his actual execution) when it comes to recruitment.
"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
I understand that Saban promotes NFL futures, but...
Why doesn’t Auburn promote that we currently have more players in the NFL than Bama?
I realize that this will fluctuate as schools will have larger senior classes that gradutate than others, but, if Bama is an NFL player factory, they seem to be falling behind….

Good question
Only reason I can guess is because you can see the very pro-style schemes they run there, whereas we still have the pseudo-spread with wildcat snaps and other twists thrown in.
(and, yes, I know Malzahn’s offense was run-first, and not a spread in the truest sense of the word).
"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
Guys, I think you're underestimating what it's like to live in a place that doesn't have a Chick-Fil-A.
It’s desolate and sad. Oh we have fast food chicken, but it was likely double-fried a week ago before being set out under those heat lamps. Chicken nuggets from McDonald’s? Child Please. That’s not real chicken.
It’s all good, Cass. I get it. Welcome home, baby.

I never had Chik-Fil-A until I moved here...
…and while it won’t weigh in on any future decisions, I’d be liar if I said I wouldn’t miss it if/when I move along from here.
It also helped acculturate me, in terms of living this far south: on my first trip there, to pick up a couple of chicken biscuits, they asked me what kind of jelly I wanted. I could only manage a befuddled “but why would I…uh…none, please” (followed by a rather confused look from the woman taking my order.
I was later educated as to my poor form in enjoying their delicious crack-on-a-biscuit. Apparently jelly on chicken biscuits is quite natural.
But what the HELL is up with jelly in “beanie-weenies”?
"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
For the record, I’m anti-jelly on my chicken biscuit. But I’ve been craving chicken biscuits…which is hard for me right now, because the little human I’m hosting and helping grow really WANTS a chicken biscuit……
And dude, you’re asking for clarity in a recipe from Missouri. I believe that Missourians put grape jelly in almost everything, as South Dakotans often try to work jello into every meal….despite the fact that lime jello can come in salad form, it is technically not part of any food pyramid….

At this morning's meeting...
one of the folks there said that his wife was FROM Missouri, and had no idea what he was talking about, with “weenie-beanies”, let alone mixing jelly in with them.
A short discussion ensued, in which one person strongly advocated for apricot jelly (uh….interesting, maybe), while our original gourmet advocated for good ol’ Welch’s.
I think Jell-O is a northern/midwestern thing. I couldn’t go to a family reunion or get-together without there being at least eight to ten different Jell-O based desserts.
It may not be part of the food pyramid, but it certainly has a devoted following.
"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
Great! Now, I’m suddenly craving a chicken biscuit with apricot jelly on it……I have NO hope of fulfilling this craving……so thanks for that……Gah, why can’t it be pickles and ice cream…..come on!!!

Come on TOTM, break out the skillet, flour and chicken fingers and cook up some
My spouse just had the Colon Mills thing done and could not eat anything but chicken or fish for several days prior. I bought some fresh chicken fingers and dumped them in the Fry Daddy. Dang good but NO jelly, Jeez, who would ruin a good piece of yard bird with jelly.
Now that the statue/altar/shrine is up, is it in Sabans contract that he gets to take it with him when he leaves?
Hell. Yes.
Fry Daddy for the win. Love that little thing.
Tilapia (breaded and fried in this), and the perfect side, and I’m a happy man.

Nothin' wrong with catfish..
..or whitefish…or cod…or pretty much any other fish. Fry it up and/or slather it in butter, and it’s all good.
"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
Given the life of your average fish...
…I don’t know that any of them exactly have anything over any other. I mean, they’re fish, for crying out loud — they’re swimming around in their own filth.
But fry those little bastards, and they’re delightful — regardless of their station in the great aquacultural caste system.

If there is meat on the biscuit,
There should not be jelly……sausage, steak, chicken, bacon, even egg (protein)…..meat = no jelly. Absence of meat = jelly perfectly acceptable. We are in the south, let’s act like it.

Reasonable, I think
I will cop to putting honey-mustard on them occasionally, though. So shameful, but so good.
"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
Honey mustard is another animal entirely,
not a problem, although probably best to keep it confined to chicken.

Jelly in Beanie weenies?
1st off — When you are “dressing up” beanie weenies, I think you need to address your social situaltion. — No offense intended to Beanie weenie lovers out there. They either stand on their own or they don’t.
But this recipe seems to be following a formula I saw for a “BBQ” smokie links party app, where they marry grape jelly and Chili Sauce. You’d never know it to taste it.

Oh, the idea's...interesting
I’ve doctored myself up some baked beans plenty….never tried jelly, though.
I could see a bit of apricot jelly adding a pleasant note to the whole mix. Grape? I dunno’.

You guys are going to think I'm nuts(If you don't already)...
In our area, Hardee’s has started hand breading their chicken fingers. We used to do that in my Dairy Queen, now most DQ stores use that frozen pre-breaded crap.
Anyway, a properly hand breaded chicken finger is hard to beat, and the Hardee’s stores in south Alabama have it going on. Now you can buy the hand breaded chicken biscuit at Hardee’s, and it is better than CFA’s or Bojangles’
Sad thing is, I warned the DQ corporate folks when they started changing their food line in 2000. The last meeting I attended was in 2009, and I told the CEO in front of a national audience of DQ operators, that I was ashamed that Hardee’s had better products than we have. So. I sold out, and retired.

Best memories of my childhood was my sister (who is 12 years older than me) taking me to a DQ for a Chili Dog and Grape Mister Misty. Her boyfriend would get a foot long and I would be jealous.
One of my treats to myself when I’m traveling is to get a dipped cone and then try not to kill anyone while keeping it from melting all over my shirt while driving……its not for the novice.

I hated, I mean really hated the changes from Corporate. We had the Top sales of any DQ south of Montgomery. Including Mississippi, and Georgia, and all of Florida.
Seriously, draw a line equal to Troy, AL on your map, and extend it all from the Atlantic, all the way to the Louisiana border. We had the top sales. Damn I hate that they changed the food line. Did I mention that I hated the changes?

Now let’s not get crazy or anything….
Though, come to think of it, “crazy” may be best used to describe the relationship that North Carolina has with Bojangles. I think it has most of characteristics of a cult/follower relationship, actually.
"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
Yeah it is.
They treat a meal at Bojangles like the blessed sacrament.

Then I got a face full of iced tea, that they immediately lapped up off the floor.
Tarheels is crazy.

Clearly,
….I don’t eat out often enough! We eat a fair amount of chicken around the Acid household, so I’m typically looking for something else when I eat out. Seafood, lamb kabobs, something different. Not chicken. If it’s fast food, to me it’s hard to beat a toasted BMT or Cold Cut Combo on Subway flat bread…
…..I don’t fry chicken but once every five years or so. It makes a heck of a mess to clean up, and you can actually feel your arteries hardening up! What I do is mix a healthy dose of Lawry’s season salt and additional cracked black pepper to the flour plate. I dip the chicken in half ‘n’ half, then bread it with the flour/season salt mix. Then, I dip it in whole buttermilk and re-bread it. I then fry it 10-15 minutes on a side in a hot iron skillet with vegetable shorting. Mmmm….
…..And no, never thought to put jelly on it!
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Wow that sounds good
Yeah, frying anything is too messy. If I gotta have something fried, I’m getting somewhere where they can clean up.
There is a place in Roswell, Ga that serves their fried chicken with a honey glaze and its AMAZING if you’re in the mood for that sweet and savory taste. Only problem is it takes about a half hour to make.
I love the smell of Auburn in the autumn.....it smells like....victory.
where?
Where are you talking about? I’m not crazy about sweetness on my salty/savory chicken, but I’m always up for good food close to home (I haven’t found much good to eat around here).

you're crazy
Bojangle’s chicken biscuits are the bees’ knees. The biscuits themselves are so much better than Chickfila’s… so buttery… and none of this sweet crap. The spiceyness and crispiness of the chicken… mmm. Chickfila’s spicy biscuit is just an imitator.
Also, where else can you get country ham biscuits and biscuits/sausage gravy that good? And Bo-berry biscuits are pretty good too. Too bad the closest to me is a 25 minute drive to Woodstock.
I won't argue the blueberry biscuits that Bojangles has
…nor their cinnamon rolls. I had a co-worker that spoiled us rotten with those things. I swear there was more glaze than actual biscuit or roll. God, they were awesome.
As for the chicken, I thought it was okay. Better than KFC, I suppose, but that’s not difficult to beat in most places. Out in the Triangle there seemed to be more variety (i.e.: Church’s, etc.), and maybe it didn’t have the cult-like devotion that it did in other parts of the state.
Still, as far as chicken ON a biscuit, I’m going with Chik-Fil-A.

Not bashing.
Maybe a little late, though. On this thread I don’t see any Bammers addressing your inferoririty comple hypocrisy. Chikin fil a or whatever this is, but nothing about your oversigning mania.

I was referring to the entire past week...
hence:
We’ve really had our fill this past week or so.
And what are you hoping to accomplish? To get someone to agree with you? To change minds? To get someone to cross over to the Dark Side?
Maybe if you were LMF or calicocoat or one of the other Tidefolk that play nice over here, you’d score a few points. As it stands, you’re just rehashing an issue that’s: 1) dead in the water (and has been): and 2) which was really articulated by some Montgomery sportswriter (so go troll him about it instead and leave us alone).
"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
Fine.
But I’m dealing with this specific thread. I’m not rehashing anything. Again, dealing with comments in this thread about oversigning. Give me examples of previous posts where I didn’t play nice. Only in my reply to you did I get a bit testy.
If the issue is dead in the water, then why the hypocritical thread. Your accusation of me for being a troll for disagreeing with you on your hypocrisy shows you have nothing substantive to say. Nothing more than childish namecalling. Actually, you’re trolling.
