Boo-Urns
http://theauburner.com/mark_boourns.html
No way do I condone the booing and I have never done it at an Auburn game. I'm just saying...
Kodi! Kodi! Kodi!
Just when you thought the AU-MSU futbol game couldn't get any worse, we got what happened Saturday. Look, a win versus Tennessee is a win over Tennessee and is something that should be celebrated. But didn't that game feel like a loss? I wasn't pumped up after that game and I don't see how anyone could be.
We are averaging 8 points per game (3 TDs and 1 FG) against SEC teams offensively and our defense is averaging 4.67 points per game (2 TDs) in the SEC.
To make this offense work you need either an elite passer or a dual-threat quarterback. Todd is not an elite passer and never will be. We have seen the best of Todd. His arm strength is lacking and cannot fire passes into tight coverage. UT's DBs were sitting on his routes and should have had two more interceptions. I can't stand to see him throw into double and triple coverage anymore.
Kodi can grow into this offense, the sky is the limit for him. Name him the starter and let him be our QB for the next 2 and 1/2 seasons. He has a stronger arm, is more decisive and teams have to respect the run. He has to grow into a passer during game situations. He has yet to be given the chance in those situations.
The team looks like they play harder and with more energy with Kodi at QB. I can't even count how many times I've seen Mario Fannin, Tim Hawthorne or another receiver shake their heads in disgust as a pass thrown their way has been underthrown or one-hopped to them...
“He brings some oomph back into the offense,” Mario Fannin said. “He gave the offense some hype.”
We cannot continue to waste an elite defense and running backs like Ben Tate. I have flashbacks to Terry Bowden and Stephen Davis when I watch Tate run the ball.
UT's avg starting field position was AU's 49 in the 2nd half while the 13 was AU's avg starting field position. Our defense is amazing and to hold UT like they did with their backs against the wall is nothing short of spectacular. No matter how bad UT's offense is playing.
Franklin has said he doesn't gameplan for specific opponents. That's not working. The offense looks decent in the first half and then looks like crap in the second half. He doesn't gameplan and he doesn't make halftime adjustments. That can't continue.

Jim Beam & Mountain Dew News
After a emotional game last Saturday night it's time to get down to business again. Someone is going to have to PAY for the LSU loss and "Good Ole Rocky Top" is just the team we are looking for. Rocky Top is no longer at the top and they are beginning to crumble. This Auburn team is going in the right direction with the offense and special teams showing more life every week. The defense is AUSOME but the worst enemy the defense has is it's own offense. We have the talent and the coaches to make a run that will put us back in the Top 10 and a chance to still make it to Atlanta. Tennessee is a team that we should and will dominate from kickoff.
This is the 1st meeting with the Vols since we were crowned SEC Champs in 2004. Auburn has a 3-game winning streak going right now as we beat the Vols 3 times in 14 months during the 2003/2004 seasons. A win and we will match the 4-game streak we had against them from 1961 - 1964.
The last time we played the Vols on Sept. 27 was in 1986 with a 34 - 8 Auburn win.
The Vols are going to need a lot of
to get through this old-fashioned mountain beating!!!
So come Saturday night after the Big Orange is squeezed and the AU Band is playing Rocky Top - the pain we had from a week ago will be gone and the Auburn Nation will be Alive and Well!!!
PATRICK FAIN DYE APPROVES THIS MESSAGE!!!
Go Dawgs!!!

UAB Minority Health & Research Center Gala
http://www.uabmhrc.com/

Big Names, Big Issue: Barkley, Jackson and Johnson Team to Defeat Minorities’ Health Disparities
September 16, 2008
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, along with Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL and MLB great Bo Jackson, will host the fourth University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Minority Health and Research Center (MHRC) Gala Sept. 26 at the Cahaba Grand Conference Center in Birmingham. This year's event will be emceed by Emmy-winning TNT sports broadcaster Ernie Johnson Jr.
The black-tie affair, which includes a reception and a seated dinner, will begin at 6:30 p.m. Ticket information is available from 205-975-5659 or www.uabmhrc.com. Reservations received after Sept. 18 will be accepted on a space available basis.
Barkley is a long-time supporter of the MHRC's efforts to reduce racial disparities in health care and has hosted the previous three galas. Because of his support, the MHRC has been able to develop numerous programs and research projects, including Charles Barkley Health Disparities Fund, which administers financial support to UAB faculty for research in the field of health disparities.
Barkley, a former Auburn University basketball star, will announce the winners of the 2008 Charles Barkley Health Disparities Research Award to young investigators at the Sept. 26 Gala.
"The Charles Barkley Health Disparities Fund provides financial support for researchers to develop outreach, educational and investigative projects related to obesity and diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, stroke, cancer and minority organ donation," said Mona Fouad, M.D., director of the UAB MHRC. "Despite steady improvements in the overall health of the United States, racial and ethnic minorities continue to experience a lower quality of health services, are less likely to receive routine medical procedures, and have higher rates of severe illness and death than non-minorities.
"These developmental research projects have the potential to become either full-size projects or to lead to other extramural funding, extending further the ability of UAB, through Charles Barkley's generosity, to help the most vulnerable of our citizens," she said.
Barkley, a Leeds native and now a fun-loving sports commentator for TNT network, turns serious when talking about how African-Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities are far behind in the level of their health care.
He said, "As I've made the transition from playing sports to on-air commentating and public speaking, I began to talk about serious and sensitive issues such as race and education. Because of the opportunities I've had in life, I feel I have an obligation to speak up about issues affecting our communities, and one of those issues is the health status of African-Americans and how to raise their level of health."
Bo Jackson, Auburn University football and baseball star, won the 1985 Heisman Trophy. In the NFL, Jackson played running back for the Los Angeles Raiders. In major league baseball, Jackson played left field and designated hitter for the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago White Sox and the California Angels. Jackson was the first athlete to be named an All-Star in two major sports.
Ernie Johnson Jr., will enter his 19th year as the studio host for Turner Sports' 2008-09 NBA telecasts. He hosts TNT's Emmy award-winning Inside the NBA with Barkley and analyst Kenny Smith. Johnson also will continue as host and play-by-play announcer for TNT's coverage of professional golf in 2008, which includes the 85th PGA Championship, 2008 Open Championship and 2008 Grand Slam of Golf.
"This gala is an excellent opportunity for us to celebrate Charles Barkley's ongoing commitment to the unique needs of the most vulnerable Alabamians," Fouad said. "It also provides a focus for individuals and corporations that want to help UAB address the disparities of access to health care, lifestyle issues, cancer detection and treatment, and the compatibility and availability of organ transplantation among minorities in Alabama."
The UAB MHRC is a comprehensive educational, research and community-outreach center focused on eliminating the health disparities of racial and ethnic minorities. Its programs include:
Research: helps investigators compete effectively for programs and identifies opportunities for new investigators.
Training: offers career development for investigators and students who are interested in minority health issues.
Outreach: works to establish trust and partnerships for research in minority and underserved populations.
Fouad said that despite steady improvements in the overall health of the United States, racial and ethnic minorities continue to experience a lower quality of health services, are less likely to receive routine medical procedures, and have higher rates of severe illness and death than non-minorities. Minorities lag behind whites in many diseases, she said, including:
African Americans, compared with Caucasians have a:
30 percent higher death rate from heart disease
41 percent higher death rate from stroke
40 percent higher death rate from cancer
500 percent higher maternal death rate
240 percent higher infant death rate
300 percent higher death rate from asthma
80 percent higher rate of diabetes
43 percent higher rate of obesity
20 percent higher rate of high blood pressure
Hispanic Americans, compared with Caucasians have a:
30 percent higher death rate from heart disease
18 percent higher death rate from stroke
152 percent higher incidence rates for cancers of the cervix and stomach (63 percent higher in males and 150 percent higher in females)
higher death rate from HIV (160 percent for males, 330 percent for females)
62 percent higher rate of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis
70 percent higher rate of diabetes
higher rate of obesity (7 percent higher in males, 32 percent higher in females)
100 percent higher mortality rate from asthma

The second oldest is none other than the gem that is Scott Field, home to Mississippi State. None of that really matters as Georgia Tech is 9th in the country in rushing while 113th in passing. Expect Tech to try to pound it out against State’s stingy D. Mickey likes the ACC over the SEC in this one. Tech 28 – State 16

This has been one of those weeks. Everyone has been down on Auburn and saying that the wheels are about to come off. As I was getting everything packed up last night to drive down to Birmingham I got a feeling I have not had since I drove down to Gainesville last year. We may be 3-0 but this is one of those games that Tuberville has made his money on. Count Tommy and his Tigers out and watch them come out and punch you in the mouth. This is a game where Jordan-Hare Stadium is going to have be the KEY factor.
The last time we played LSU at night in Jordan-Hare was 2000 and we all know who won the West that year.
Robert Dunn has had a great year so far and may be the most electric return man we have had since this guy...
Also the only time we have played LSU on Sept. 20 was in 1997 and we all know once again who won the West that year. There have been a few rumbles from the team in the west but after Saturday night we will show everyone that we are still the dominating force in this state and the Western division. After Saturday night and the smell of corndogs clears the air and the corner is rolled - ALL will be good in the "Loveliest Village On The Plains"
