  2. i had one of those scans monday where they shoot radioactive stuff inside me because they believe i have kidney cancer. being the old ball i am i am disapointed i did not glow in the dark that night. by the way i have huge respect for what you do for a living. you have to be super smart.
  3. i see a lot of people take shots at people all the time they just do it suttle like. after a while it gets old and people are human and do not take being disrespected on here well or even being talked down to. so they respond. i am sixty eight years old and i do not ever care to be lectured.ever. tell me what i did but if you talk down to me you are just as bad as folks starting fights. most of us try to abide by the rules.i do i have been guilty of stuff and i have no problem excepting my punishment if i deserve it but do NOT talk down to me. i understand mods and admins have a tough job because you will never make everyone happy. i appreciate your efforts but sometimes you need to talk to someone and ask them about something. i got in bad trouble for saying the word neggers and accused of being racist. i was talking about the red thumbs down as being negative. i am still upset about it.
  4. i create a lot of work for the man and he never complains. i dreamed last night he had gotten carpal tunnel because of me and i am kinda sad. i want to thank you for your hard work in trying to keep some of us dummies from looking like morons.....................well most of the time anyway! i appreciate you sir!

  6. Auburn dubbed a ‘transfer portal winner’ by The Athletic Taylor Jones Sun, January 28, 2024 at 12:00 PM CST·2 min read 1 Auburn’s coaching staff is working hard to fill key areas with transfer portal additions, and are currently succeeding. The Tigers will have added a talented wide receiver, a sturdy offensive lineman, and several solid defensive additions which should help boost its stock in the upcoming 2024 season. The haul has been impressive so far, and outlets such as The Athletic are taking notice. Manny Navarro of The Athletic recently revealed his winners and losers from the SEC when it comes to their activity in the transfer portal. At the front of the “winners” list is Auburn. Navarro says the Tigers’ transfer additions have outweighed their departures. Auburn’s recruiting has been on the uptick since Hugh Freeze took over. The 2024 class ranks No. 8 after the early signing period and the Tigers are also bringing in quality talent in the portal. Among the notable additions are former Georgia State standout receiver Robert Lewis (70 catches, 877 yards in 2023), ex-Mississippi State left tackle Percy Lewis (seven starts in 2023), former Texas and Minnesota defensive tackle Trill Carter (31 career starts), ex-Duke linebacker Dorian Mausi (27 starts) and former Texas safety Jerrin Thompson (31 starts). Those pickups outweigh the losses of 2022 starting quarterback Robby Ashford (South Carolina) and linebacker Cam Riley and safety Donovan Kaufman, who both ranked in the top 11 on the team in tackles last season and haven’t found new landing spots yet. Antonio Kite (CB-Alabama), Jerrin Thompson (S-Texas), Percy Lewis (OT-Mississippi State), and rico walker (TE-Maryland) are the most notable transfer additions for Auburn so far, as they all join the roster as four-star transfers according to 247Sports. Joining Auburn as “winners” include Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Missouri. Arkansas and Florida were teams who “broke even”, while Alabama, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt joined the “losers” category.

  7. al.com Auburn women’s tennis coach abruptly fired after team makes ITA Indoor Championships Updated: Jan. 28, 2024, 5:21 p.m.|Published: Jan. 28, 2024, 4:01 p.m. 2–3 minutes during the match between the Texas A&M Aggies and the Auburn Tigers at Yarbrough Tennis Center in Auburn, AL on Sunday, Mar 26, 2023. Jamie Holt/Auburn TigersJamie Holt/Auburn Tigers In a sudden change of course Sunday afternoon, athletics director John Cohen announced Auburn would be “parting ways” from women’s tennis coach Caroline Lilley in a decision that would be effective immediately. Lilley’s ousting comes at a questionable time as 14th-ranked Auburn is in the middle of its season and coming off a big win in Durham, N.C., where Auburn topped 15th-ranked Duke on Saturday, punching the Tigers’ ticket to the ITA Indoor Championships. By Sunday afternoon, Lilley’s name and image had already been removed from the team’s page on Auburn’s website. The team’s associate head coach, Megan Falcon, was also removed from the team’s website Sunday. However, Falcon resigned from her post and was not fired, an Auburn athletics spokesperson confirmed to AL.com. Falcon was brought on as associate head coach in 2021. Moving forward, with plenty left in the program’s spring schedule, Auburn’s women’s tennis team will be piloted via a shared effort between members of the men’s and women’s tennis staffs. “The program will be under the direction of members of the men’s and women’s tennis staff on an interim basis, as the search for a permanent replacement begins,” Cohen said Sunday. “We will work closely with members of our tennis staff to ensure they have all the resources necessary to support our student athletes throughout the remainder of the 2024 season.” Lilley was hired to lead the Tigers’ women’s program in 2019 and helped guide Auburn to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen in the last two seasons.

  8. al.com Senior Bowl 2024: Practice schedule, players to watch Published: Jan. 29, 2024, 6:00 a.m. 7–9 minutes It’s officially 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl week, as more than 100 of the country’s top NFL draft hopefuls descend on Mobile for several days of practice and other events leading up to Saturday’s annual all-star game. This year marks the 75th Senior Bowl, which is sponsored by the NFL Players Association. Practices — which are once again free and open to the public — run Tuesday-Thursday at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the South Alabama campus, with other special events set for Friday and Saturday. (A full practice schedule appears below). In addition to the top senior players from across the country, this year’s game for the first time features third-year juniors who have chosen to enter the NFL draft. More than a dozen juniors are set to take place in the 2024 Senior Bowl, making it arguably the most talent-rich in the game’s recent history. The Senior Bowl is also recognizing a 75th anniversary team, whose members will enter the stadium prior to kickoff on Saturday and be formally recognized at halftime. Among the big names on the team are Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Shaun Alexander, LaDainian Tomlinson, Terrell Owens, Michael Strahan, Cornelius Bennett, Derrick Brooks and Pat McAfee (not all team members are scheduled to appear). Speaking of the Senior Bowl legends, the first 5,000 fans to enter the stadium on game day will receive one of five bobbleheads — Dan Marino, Cornelius Bennett, Shaun Alexander, Demarcus Ware or Aaron Donald. Former Alabama running back Shaun Alexander is a member of the Senior Bowl's 75th anniversary team. Alexander played in the 2000 Senior Bowl before embarking on a record-setting career with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. (AP Photo/Caroline Baird)AR- AP Mobile’s Jennifer Shirley will sing the national anthem prior to kickoff, with pre-game and halftime entertainment provided by Talladega College’s Great Tornado Band. The Saints Cheer Krewe will also be on-hand for game day festivities. There is once again a free concert in at Mardi Gras Park in downtown Mobile in conjunction with the Senior Bowl, but this year’s show — featuring Counting Crows — takes place on Saturday night after the game rather than on Friday as in the past. The Senior Bowl’s 75th anniversary gala is Friday night this year, as is the annual players Mardi Gras parade. Here’s everything else you need to know for the 2024 Senior Bowl (all times Central). Game information When: Saturday, Feb. 3, noon Where: Hancock Whitney Stadium, Mobile TV: NFL Network Tickets: From $15. Visit www.seniorbowl.com/tickets.
