Sanders Jr
seems like a good kid. Hope it works out for him in Stanford.
"There are 40 rules all Schrute boys must learn by age 5. Rule #17- There are 3 things you never turn your back on--- Bears, men you have wronged, and a dominant male turkey during mating season."
Deon Bush is the first to announce
He’s going to Miami as expected.
He waited too long if Alabama was ever truly his choice.
Thirteen and counting
They just said CNS wanted him bad,
but I don’t buy that.

"There are 40 rules all Schrute boys must learn by age 5. Rule #17- There are 3 things you never turn your back on--- Bears, men you have wronged, and a dominant male turkey during mating season."
I think they meant "out"
as in “out of his hands”. I may be wrong, but that is how I took it.

On July 16, Pike wrote, “I can tell you’re an Alabama fan cause you have no educational skills. It’s FAMILY not fambly . . . Something only AU knows about.”
On July 23, Pike wrote, “nothing better than knowing I’m gonna play for the best program in the country. It’s better gaining bama haters much love for you! #SIKE”
That same day, Pike wrote, “I assume your speaking about the crimson tide #foldtidefold”
The next day, Pike wrote, “Going to church to pray for all these Bama souls :)”
Wait. It gets worse.
On July 27, Pike wrote, “I knew I was suppose to be an Auburn Tiger when I stepped on Alabama’s campus and hated everything #realtalk”
On July 28, Pike wrote, “have I ever talked trash? I said I hate Alabama. That’s a statement just like you hate Auburn #honesty”
On July 30, Pike wrote, “Can I get directions to Ttown menswear? I heard there’s some cool stuff there? #Classic”
Pike also has used Twitter to try to persuade fellow recruits to join him in committing to Auburn, but his personal recruiting has gone beyond extolling the virtues of the Tigers.
On July 23, Pike wrote to cornerback recruit Geno Smith, “quit playin games and come where your suppose to be. Don’t let bama lie to your just another dog in the pound there #followheart”
On July 27, Pike commented on Gunner Kiel, the consensus No. 1 quarterback prospect in the class of 2012, committing to his home-state Indiana Hoosiers in an upset over Alabama, Ohio State and Notre Dame.
Pike wrote, “I guess Gunner Kiel sees the truth too #bummerbama #Hoosierboy”

Delusional Barners
Not so fast my friend
Bammer has no OC and they seem to be doing pretty damn well recruiting offensive players. Ditto for Florida.
The sheer fact that we don’t have coordinators is not the sole reason we are having a down time recruiting. Could it be we have such a young, talented team coming back next season that the recruits feel they might sit for multiple years behind someone? I think that is just as much of a reason as anything.

quotes from Texans fans on how to attack their defense:
Throw towards Kareem Jackson & pray he doesn’t pull a hamstring
Our defense would improve significantly if Kareem gets hurt
He shouldn’t be hard to spot
He doesn’t turn his head & usually falls down
He won’t be flopping around like a fish
He would have had to look back & see the ball coming to consider thinking about flopping
Me too. Amobi can probably turn his head and look for the ball without falling down
I bet Wade Phillips’ volley ball size tumor could cover better than K-Jax
and etc.
haha
the crazy thing is
Houston has the #3 passing defense in the NFL.
They are 10-6 and in the playoffs for the 1st time EVER
Thirteen and counting
and that really has nothing to do with kareem.
they went out and signed a new CB. kareem doesnt really play all that much.

not true
the other corner is Johnathon Joseph, and their top corner from last yesr, Glover Quin, moved to safety. So he plays pretty much every play
in the games ive watched he would only be in from time to time
and really only in dime packages, etc.

well he's a starting corner
I don’t really watch any texans games. Just hearing a lot of talk from their fans this week, so that’s all i have to go on
Can you blame them?
From what little I’ve seen him play this season he has looked more like Hirschel Bolden than an NFL cornerback, much less a first round draft pick. He’ll probably be on the bubble for a roster spot next season.
