  6. Auburn’s Derick Hall selected in the 2nd round of 2023 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks Published: Apr. 28, 2023, 6:39 p.m. 3–4 minutes Derick Hall NFL Draft profile, analysis from Cole Cubelic Derick Hall wasn’t supposed to be here. The odds were stacked against him, ever since birth. Born four months premature in March 2001, Hall weighed just 2 pounds, 9 ounces at the time and was small enough to hold in the palm of his mother’s hand. The first five months of his life were spent in a hospital incubator. Normalcy appeared unlikely; doctors told his mother that she’d likely have to care for him for the rest of his life. Those days in the hospital seem distant now, especially Friday night when Hall’s lifelong goal was realized. The former Auburn standout was selected in the 2nd round of the 2023 NFL Draft, going 37th overall to the Seattle Seahawks and becoming the first Auburn player off the board in this year’s draft. Read more on Derick Hall’s Road to the Pros: Episode 1: Derick Hall’s unlikely journey from premature birth to the pride of Gulfport, Mississippi Episode 2: Derick Hall’s Auburn career underscored by resolve amid uncertainty Episode 3: Derick Hall pushes self closer to improbable NFL dream A native of Gulfport, Miss., Hall spent the last four years at Auburn, including three as a starter off the edge for the Tigers. The former four-star recruit was highly productive during his time on the Plains, even as it overlapped with a period of uncertainty and constant change for the Auburn program. Hall totaled 147 tackles, with 29.5 for a loss and 19.5 sacks over the last four seasons while twice earning All-SEC recognition. His 29.5 tackles for loss during that span were second most on the team, just behind Colby Wooden’s 30 over the last four years, while Hall’s 19.5 sacks were the most by a Tigers player during those four seasons. Hall managed that production despite playing for two different head coaches, two more interim coaches, three defensive coordinators and three different position coaches during his time at Auburn, which also included the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. RELATED: Derick Hall discusses his best NFL trait: “They pay the guys to get (QBs) on the ground” In that time, Hall went from a 227-pound early enrollee in the 2019 class to a 256-pound All-SEC selection and team captain as a senior, as well as one of the most productive edge rushers in the SEC. Over his final two seasons at Auburn, when he earned All-SEC honors as a junior and senior, Hall posted 16 total sacks and 25 tackles for loss, leading the Tigers in both categories each of those seasons. He also recorded an interception, eight hurries and four forced fumbles over the last two years. It was an unlikely trajectory for Hall, considering the prognosis doctors provided after his premature birth. Now he’ll look to make the most of it with the Seahawks in the NFL.

  7. Hugh Freeze explains process of finding the perfect transfer portal quarterback Taylor Jones 2–3 minutes As the second transfer portal window begins to wind down, many Auburn fans are wondering why there has been a lack of movement regarding Hugh Freeze and the quarterbacks currently occupying the portal. Don’t worry, he hears your concerns. Buy Tigers Tickets “I get the tweets’ trust me,” Freeze said at a recent “AMBUSH” engagement in Huntsville. Freeze went on to say that he is very selective when it comes to finding the perfect quarterback not only for his scheme but for the program as a whole. His reasoning behind it should be reassuring to Auburn fans. “Truthfully, I haven’t seen one yet that’s just, ‘Bam, that’s the no-brainer, and he’s ahead of the ones we have,’” Freeze said. “Every time a quarterback goes in the portal, (I say) ‘There he is! There he is!’ Then I watch the film, and I’m like, ‘No, that’s really not the one I’m looking for.’” The current quarterback battle as it stands includes incumbent starter Robby Ashford, T.J. Finley, and redshirt freshman Holden Geriner. True freshman Hank Brown, who has not arrived on campus yet, will also be a contender this summer. If the “no-brainer” never arrives in the portal, Freeze will be content to develop the talent that he already has on his roster. “I kind of get excited about Holden (Geriner) and Robby (Ashford) and, you know, T.J. (Finley) and Hank Brown, who’s coming in,” Freeze said. “Does that mean we won’t continue to look?… I’m going to be excited to coach the ones we have and improve them. At the same time, I don’t ever want to be perceived as someone who didn’t say exactly what I was thinking.” The spring transfer portal window closes Sunday, April 30. Several big names that remain uncommitted include Cincinnati’s Ben Bryant and Nebraska‘s Casey Thompson.

  8. Twitter reacts to the Jaguars selecting Tank Bigsby Taylor Jones 2–3 minutes Day two of the NFL draft ended on a high note as running back Tank Bigsby was selected with the 88th overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The consensus surrounding the pick is that Bigsby will pair well with Travis Etienne in the Jaguars’ backfield. The scouting department at Bleacher Report says that Bigsby will bring his aggressive running style to the Jaguars’ offense. Buy Tigers Tickets Bigsby lives up to the “Tank” nickname. At a hair under 6’0″ and 210 pounds, he is a violent downhill runner when he wants to be. He has a thick frame, especially in his lower body, and absorbs contact well. When paired with his aggressive rushing style, ample acceleration and good balance, Bigsby is tough to bring down once he gets a head of steam. Fans from both Auburn and Jacksonville seem to be excited for the next chapter of Bigsby’s career, as they shared their thoughts on Twitter following the announcement. Here’s a look at how analysts and fans reacted to the news of Tank Bigsby being selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 88th overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft. So proud of Tank Bigsby, and Jacksonville is an awesome landing spot for him. He was incredible at Callaway, and he did big things at Auburn as well. Tank has worked hard for this, and he's ready for the challenge. Go get 'em Tank pic.twitter.com/PxRjpQdWlU — Kevin Eckleberry (@kevineckleberry) April 29, 2023 We got ACTION!!!!!

  9. SOURCE: Former Nebraska QB Casey Thompson is interested in Auburn Zac Blackerby ~2 minutes Per a source, Casey Thompson is looking at Auburn. On Friday, Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson entered the transfer portal according to multiple reports. A source close to the situation believes that there are six schools that Thompson is interested in as his final destination during his college career. The source then added that Auburn is in the top three. "I know he won't be in the portal long," said the source. Auburn has been in the market for a quarterback. Thompson's experience, athleticism, and poise he could bring to an offense are all things Hugh Freeze has mentioned that he is looking for in a quarterback. In 2022, Thompson threw for 2,407 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. His completion percentage was 63.1%. He will transfer as a graduate and will be able to play right away wherever he decides to go. The Tigers have now had six players depart from the program within the last couple of weeks, including three backup linebackers: Wide Receiver Tar'Varish Dawson Defensive lineman Jeffrey M'ba Defensive lineman Tobechi Okoli Linebacker Kameron Brown Linebacker Desmond Tisdol Linebacker Powell Gordon Auburn has pulled in an impressive haul thus far during Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains, currently sitting at No. 3 nationally in 247Sports' transfer portal class rankings.

  10. from the articles i have been posting i believe we will see two unless i am reading him wrong. in a perfect world ashford takes big steps and freeze can bring geriner along slower to give him more adjustment time. but i just want our best right now. with our schedule i believe we could make a little noise.i believe our running game will be so much better it improves our qb's a little. is it enough? it looks like it going to have to be.
  11. i agree with the late term. i would never abort any child i might have. ever. but no one should be able to tell a woman what she can do with her own body. that should be between her and god. do i care for it? no. but other than used as a tool for those enjoying sex abortions have saved thousands and thousands of lives over the years.for a party that claims to want less government yall are all up in other peoples business.
  12. i might agree with you on the age but other than that it is a bad look in my opinion. does it not cross your mind that they are saying racism does not exist? have i read this wrong?
  13. Auburn defensive back Craig McDonald re-enters transfer portal Published: Apr. 28, 2023, 9:43 a.m. Auburn safety Craig McDonald (24) during a drill on Day 6 of fall camp, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 in Auburn, Ala. )Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics)Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics NEW! By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com Craig McDonald is on the move again. Less than a year after transferring to Auburn from Iowa State, McDonald re-entered the transfer portal on Friday, he announced on Twitter. He is the seventh Auburn player to hit the portal since the start of spring. Read more Auburn football: Auburn still in search of “no-brainer” quarterback target in transfer portal Auburn’s recruiting under Hugh Freeze is “100 to 1″ change from previous coaching staff Spring transfer portal window “quite a bit slower” than anticipated for Hugh Freeze, Auburn McDonald, a native of Minneapolis, appeared in just two games for the Tigers last season. The 6-foot-2, 199-pounder first saw the field against Mercer. He did not record a stat for Auburn last season. This was after he played in all 13 games for Iowa State in 2021 while making three starts for the Cyclones and finishing with 41 tackles and a team-high two interceptions. This spring, McDonald was seen with the fourth pairing in the rotation at safety, though he saw time with the second-team defense on A-Day. Still, he appeared to be behind a group that included Jaylin Simpson, Marquise Gilbert, Zion Puckett, Cayden Bridges and Caleb Wooden. McDonald is the latest departure from the program this spring and the second in the last 24 hours after reserve defensive end Tobechi Okoli hit the portal Thursday evening. Auburn has also seen a trio of reserve linebackers -- Kameron Brown, Desmond Tisdol and Powell Gordon -- exit the program, as well as defensive end Jeffrey M’ba and wide receiver Tar’Varish Dawson Jr. Brown has since committed to UT-Chattanooga, while Tisdol is headed to Florida Atlanta, M’ba is off to Purdue and Dawson is transferring to Cincinnati.

  14. Education program – one of the very few education bright spots in a state so known for school failure that it has to bribe companies to move here – to resign. Which means early Childhood Education Secretary Barbara Cooper was fired, of course. For using a standard and nationally accredited teachers’ manual that included references to (gasp) systemic racism, (egad) white privilege, and (OMG) families that don’t have a standard mom and dad and two kids and a dog. That manual said horrid things. Like how kids and families are different and you should probably be nice to them anyway. Imagine. It was scary, because it might remind teachers that a real world exists beyond the white walls and whitewash of the Alabama Legislature. So Rep. Jamie Kiel, R-Russellville, got to be appalled. And applauded by his ilk. Ivey got to go back to sleep. And Cooper got the boot. But that was just the start. As AL.com’s Rebecca Griesbach reported, the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education then began to examine its early learning and development standards. And by examine I mean the department went at it with a machete. Those dedicated educators chopped out 10 references to “equity,” a clearly subversive word meaning “justice according to natural law or right,” which is not welcome or fitting for Alabama schools or public buildings or brains. They looked at their work. And it was surely good. For justice removed is injustice ignored in Alabama. It’s what we are built on, and what we must keep from our children. These public servants searched and searched, and chopped and chopped more fiercely, as if clear-cutting old forest for a suburban stripmall. By the end they cut 60 of the 65 references to equity – including a whole chapter – right out of the Alabama education standards. Surely, like God on the sixth day, they looked at all they had done, and, behold, found it very good. They’d whittled all those references to equity, all those notions of kindness and acceptance and attempts to understand people who are different, to a number even a state legislator can count on his fingers. They cut references to equity from 65 to 5 – a 92.3 percent drop, if you’re counting. Which is the most Alabama thing ever. We have normalized meanness and intolerance and doubled down on delusion, in a state that wrote a constitution – the politicians said it out loud, you know – to keep Black people away from the polls and in their place. We have made examining that sort of history in schools illegal, and talk of it a firing offense, in a state that for generations used school textbooks as propaganda to tell students how slaves really liked being slaves, that white masters were really just looking out for their interests. We’re full tilt into an Alabama inquisition, where compassion is ridiculed and common decency demonized. We do the thing that represents us so well. We edit equity right out of our expectations. Because we don’t want students or their parents to see the truth. We remove equity from our schools. There is no place for compassion there, or examination of ourselves. It is so Alabama. Where we break what is good – like our early childhood program – just to pander for what is bad. John Archibald is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for AL.com. those who will not learn from the past are are doomed to repeat it over and over. this is in my humble opinion about as racist as it gets.
  15. many on your side believes as semen enters the vagina it is sacred and pretty much should be left alone. i will never believe this.it takes a while. and no i do not agree with long term abortions.
  16. Florida Straight Up Lied About AP African-American Studies Course, College Board Says 6–7 minutes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks at a news conference on Jan. 26, 2023, in Miami. (AP Photo/Marta Lavandier, File) The organization that sets Advanced Placement curricula came out swinging at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, saying in a statement published Saturday that the state’s Department of Education “slandered” its AP African-American Studies course, and accusing the DeSantis administration of lying about its communications with the College Board. The College Board also disputed that it had diluted the course and made contemporary topics like Black Lives Matter and reparations optional only after the Florida governor said the class would be banned from being taught in Florida schools. The DeSantis administration had rejected the course as part of a crusade against what it’s called “woke” education, then celebrated the College Board’s revised curriculum released earlier this month. But the College Board alleged in its statement that DeSantis—who is rumored to be considering a presidential bid in 2024—always intended to shut down the course for political reasons. The College Board statement says that the conversation over the AP African-American Studies curriculum “has moved from healthy debate to misinformation,” and that the organization needed “to clear the air and set the record straight.” “We deeply regret not immediately denouncing the Florida Department of Education’s slander, magnified by the DeSantis administration’s subsequent comments, that African American Studies ‘lacks educational value,’” said the statement, which is only attributed to the College Board. “Our failure to raise our voice betrayed Black scholars everywhere and those who have long toiled to build this remarkable field.” The College Board’s statement came after the Florida Department of Education released a letter last week detailing communications with the College Board regarding the content of the course going back to January 2022. The Florida Department of Education said in the letter that it was in frequent contact with the College Board regarding the course. But the College Board contradicted that on Saturday, saying that phone calls attempting to engage with Florida on its concerns “were absent of substance” and rather focused on “vague, uninformed questions” such as: “Does the course promote Black Panther thinking?” “While it has been claimed that the College Board was in frequent dialogue with Florida about the content of AP African American Studies, this is a false and politically motivated charge,” the College Board said. “We had no negotiations about the content of this course with Florida or any other state, nor did we receive any requests, suggestions, or feedback.” DeSantis announced earlier this year, before the changes, that Florida would reject the AP African-American Studies class, because it was allegedly furthering a “political agenda.” “We believe in teaching kids facts and how to think, but we don’t believe they should have an agenda imposed on them when you try to use Black history to shoehorn in queer theory, you are clearly trying to use that for political purposes,” DeSantis said in January. The dispute over the AP African-American History course is just the latest in DeSantis’s attempt to restore what he’s described as a more traditional K-12 and higher education, and which critics have described as more like an attempt at conservative indoctrination. Under DeSantis, Florida has passed laws banning public schools from teaching what it’s branded “critical race theory,” as well as the discussion of sex and gender in elementary schools. DeSantis also appointed six right-wing activists to the board of New College of Florida, a public liberal arts school, in an attempt to make the college into what his chief of staff has called the “Hillsdale of the South,” a reference to the arch-conservative private college in Michigan. The trustees fired the college’s president and named as its interim president former DeSantis education chief Richard Corcoran, a Republican former state House speaker who once described education as “100 percent ideological” and a “sword” to wage war for conservative values. The College Board claimed that it repeatedly pushed the state Department of Education to detail specific feedback and concerns with the course, to no avail. “We have made the mistake of treating FDOE with the courtesy we always accord to an education agency, but they have instead exploited this courtesy for their political agenda,” the group wrote. “After each written or verbal exchange with them, as a matter of professional protocol, we politely thanked them for their feedback and contributions, although they had given none.” The College Board also said that the agency leaked the letter to the media—it was first reported by the Tucker Carlson-founded conservative news site The Daily Caller—to “claim credit” for changes to the course and the removal of terms such as “systemic marginalization” and “intersectionality,” as part of an effort to “engineer a political win” for DeSantis. “This is not true,” the College Board said. “The notion that we needed Florida to enlighten us that these terms are politicized in several states is ridiculous.” The Florida Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment from VICE News.
  17. he silenced black voices in florida. what do you call it? now he is being sued for slander.
  18. NOT TRUE! statesman.com Fact-check: Are firearms the leading cause of death in children? 6–7 minutes Charles Schumer: "The leading cause of death among children is a firearm." PolitiFact's ruling: Mostly True Here's why: Are firearms the leading cause of death in children? In a speech on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., recounted details of two recent mass shootings, one in a Buffalo supermarket and the other at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. He called on his colleagues to tighten the nation’s gun laws. "America doesn’t stand out when it comes to the rate of mental illness, but we are unique among the world’s developed nations in that today the leading cause of death among children is no longer a car accident, is no longer illness or malnourishment. The leading cause of death among children is a firearm," Schumer said. Schumer is correct, depending on you define children, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and analyses from researchers at three academic centers. More:Fact-check: Do 'more people die from hands, fists, feet, than rifles'? The CDC publishes data on the leading causes of death among different demographic groups, providing the most reliable data. In 2020, the leading cause of death among children ages one through 18 involved a firearm. There were 3,219 such deaths in 2020, followed by motor vehicle traffic deaths, of which there were 2,882. In their report about gun violence, "A Year in Review: 2020 Gun Deaths in the U.S.," researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions analyzed CDC data from 2020 and found that gun violence was the leading cause of death among children, teens, and young adults under age 25. Firearms were also the leading cause of death for children and teens ages 1 to 19, taking the lives of 4,357 young people, they wrote. The report also found that gun violence claimed more lives in 2020, more than 45,000, than it had during any year on record. Researchers at the Rockefeller Institute of Government, Leigh Wedenoja and Jaclyn Schildkraut, used CDC data, and found that if "children" are defined as people 19 and under, as they said the CDC tends to do, then firearm deaths exceed traffic deaths. Their analysis did not take into account infant-specific types of deaths, such as congenital abnormalities or short gestation. More:Fact-check: Who was the officer who killed the Uvalde school shooter? Rockefeller and Johns Hopkins researchers said that when analyzing the leading causes of death among "children," infants are typically not included because of certain fatal conditions unique to children under a year old. If infants are included, rankings of the leading causes of death for children up to age 18 change. Congenital abnormalities are the leading cause of death in infants, and surpass the number of firearm deaths among all children up to age 18. In 2020, there were 4,403 deaths from congenital abnormalities, 3,141 deaths from short gestation, or preterm birth and low birth weight, and 1,389 deaths from sudden infant death syndrome. There were 11 infant deaths caused by a firearm in 2020. We approached Schumer’s office, and Director of Communications Justin Goodman said the office relied on a letter in the New England Journal of Medicine, written by researchers at the University of Michigan, as its source. The researchers wrote that among children and adolescents, defined as people ages 1 to 19, firearms overtook motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of death in 2020. "From 2019 to 2020, the relative increase in the rate of firearm-related deaths of all types (suicide, homicide, unintentional, and undetermined) among children and adolescents was 29.5% — more than twice as high as the relative increase in the general population," they wrote. More:Fact-check: How are the firearms for mass shootings purchased? Our ruling Schumer claimed that the leading cause of death among children is a firearm. Among children between the ages of one and 18, and ages one and 19, this is true, based on several analyses of CDC data, the leading source for data regarding causes of death. There are significant causes of death unique to babies up to a year old, such as congenital abnormalities, which is why researchers typically don’t include infants when studying causes of death among children and adolescents. We rate his claim Mostly True, because what he said is accurate but needs some clarification.
