Interview with Terry Bowden April 24, 2001, at his Loachapoka ranch. Also present was Paul Davis. After our interview, Bowden was expecting a visit from Dr. Muse that same day at his ranch.Randy Kennedy Editor Former Auburn University football coach Terry Bowden says the program he inherited in 1993 included an elaborate system of paying star high school players up to $15,000 to sign with Auburn and $600 per month while on the team.In a lengthy interview from the ranch he still owns in Loachapoka, Bowden alleged that the "pay-for-play" system was orchestrated by powerful AU Board of Trustees

Auburn is a second rate program that had a pretty good run the past few years. I think that the past two weeks have really shown this to be true. Sure, it's an sec school with a decent athletics budget but I don't think it is/was an extremely desirable job. I think Gill would have gone, but I don't think others were too quick to jump on it.

I just read this and it makes sense. The night of the Alabama-Auburn game after Auburn gets drilled 36-0 a prominent Auburn booster and board member (not the bank owning one, the yellow cowboy hat wearing one) calls Houston Nutt to inquire what it might take for him to come to the turdliest village on the plains. Apparently stealing Ole Miss coaches is a pasttime in Auburn. Well, as we may recall Tubbs got a somewhat unique non-interference clause in his last contract following Jetgate. Auburn pledged to Tuberville that neither the school president nor athletics director or anyone acting u

I wonder if that means that the deal with the dexateens fell through. I was really looking forward to that double bill. At least there is a bottletree date.

Alabama deserves a better game than Utah.

bama, but it will be close

Birmingham News is officially reporting that ears is out at Auburn. There are also reports that Petrino and Leach have been contacted about the job. This comes one day after Colonial Bank got a $500 million bailout. That sure created a lot of petty cash for Bobby Lowder to pay that $6 million buyout.

Taylor Hollingsworth is a great guitar player for sure.

matt patton, the bassist for the dexateens.

They are opening for Iron & Wine here Saturday. They are headlining their own tour at the first of the year with the Dexateens opening. At least that's the word, would be a great bill.

I thought this was funny

I am worriedabout all of Bama's remaining games but we damn well better not lose to auburn again. I also disagree that auburn has a pretty good team. they have zero direction and no standout players. they are as mediocre as it gets.

Yeas, Verbena was supposedly going to turn Birmingham into the new Seattle. They were a big deal around these parts and everyone from the band has done pretty well on their own. Duquette (Daniel) Johnson's new one, Etowah, is solid and I am a fan of all of Taylor Hollingsworth's music.

I didn't do a search on him before i posted. hopefully there isn't another thread. if there is, sorry.

Well, the barners looked pretty bad again last night. I think people might start to realize that Tubbs is a pretty mediocre coach that has gotten by with some good (not great) team the last few years. I think now that Franklin is speaking out it is shedding even more light on the situation. It will be interesting to see what his fate will be. I just don't know who would want to come to Auburn to coach now that Saban is just a few hundred miles up the road in the same state.

Anyone else heard this album? I'm really liking it.

Glad to hear they are still doing the two sets. Tickets say 8 for Atlanta, did they start fairly close to the announced time in Dallas?

I'm looking forward to this friday night in Atlanta and was wondering if anyone had been to any of the other shows this tour and could shed some light on what time they have been hitting the stage and how long they have been playing. I'm trying to decide whether to drive back home that night or stay in Atlanta. Any insight is certainly appreciated.

I thought they would get rid of Franklin Sunday but when that didn't happen I figured he was safe. Hell, the Arkansas game might have been a good time for him to let loose with the ol spread eagle offense. I have to give it to them though, they had a problem and they addressed it. I'm just not sure how an already confused offense is going to react to a new OC mid season.

Hell, you never know. UK has looked pretty solid but definitely a different caliber of team for them tomorrow. As far as salaries go, it doesn't bother me too much. None of the funds come out of the education budget or anything and it certainly attracts folks to the school. I think it pays in the end.

Yeah, I was joking. Those schedules are a joke and it usually shows in the bowl games. Either way. I hear Dre Kirkpatrick has already picked out his roommate in Tuscaloosa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SJP8hfsDqU

[quote name='MJHutch' date='Oct 3 2008, 10:02 AM' post='1212911 App State. That's all I've got to say about that. App State. Hell, I went to App State for undergrad. Definitely one of the more memorable games I can remember. Too bad we sucked while I was there. And damn if Bama didn't suck when I was in law school. Damn Shula.

I have to agree. I didn't imagine we would get our program turned around so quickly. Last weekend might have been the best athens trip I have ever made and I look for this weekend in Tuscaloosa to be equally grand. Definitely a little worried about LSU though (and of course Auburn). Hell, Ole Miss looks pretty good under Nutt too. It's a long road in the SEC. I wish we could play more of an Ohio State of Michigan schedule. You know, one that's more of a cake walk and all.
