I have friends that took off of work today to be down there. Wish I could have joined them!

Here is a link to a great story about Miles' history and his family.

I was actually playing golf in Addis the day that his sister was killed in the auto accident. We saw the emergency vehicles when we left the course but had no idea at the time who was involved in the accident...
 
Auburn just hired Atlanta Falcons DC Brian VanGorder to be their DC.
 
Here's a follow-up to ad's post, and Roll Tide Roll!
AUBURN, Ala. -- Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder has returned to the college ranks to take the same job at Auburn.
Auburn announced the hiring Monday of VanGorder, who has run Atlanta's defense for four years.



VanGorder's move continues his pattern of moving back and forth between college and NFL positions. He is the former coach at Georgia Southern and former defensive coordinator at Georgia, where he won the 2003 Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach.
VanGorder left Georgia to become an assistant with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2005 before coaching at Georgia Southern and moving back to the NFL with the Falcons.


He has been a head coach twice, at Division I-FCS Georgia Southern and at Division II Wayne State. "This is a tremendous opportunity for me and my family at this point in my career, both professionally and personally, to become the defensive coordinator at Auburn," he said. "I'm looking forward to working at a school with the success and tradition of Auburn, and for a coach like Gene Chizik, who has led the program to a national championship. I'm very appreciative to the Atlanta Falcons and coach Mike Smith for the experience of the last four years. It's a great organization and will have continued success in the future."

The Falcons finished the regular season ranked sixth in the NFL in rushing defense and 12th in total defense. Their season ended with Sunday's 24-2 loss to the Giants in an NFC wild-card game.


"Brian has been an integral part of our success here over the last four years," Atlanta coach Mike Smith said. "This is a decision Brian and his family have made and I want to personally thank Brian for of his hard work and all the work he has done to make us successful here in Atlanta." Chizik said he targeted VanGorder from the outset to replace Ted Roof, who took the same position at Central Florida. "From the beginning of this process, I had one person in mind, and that was Brian," Chizik said. "He has achieved success at every level, both professionally and collegiately, which is a testament to his ability as a coach. He has been one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL, has won a Broyles Award at the college level, and understands what it takes to succeed in the Southeastern Conference."


The Tigers finished the regular season ranked 78th in total defense and 79th in scoring defense a year after a national title run. Auburn's former defensive coordinator, Ted Roof, left the position last month to take the same position at UCF. VanGorder had already accepted a job on Steve Spurrier's staff at South Carolina when Smith hired him. Auburn announced the hiring just 5 hours before rival Alabama faced LSU in the Allstate BCS Championship Game.

Chizik is still seeking a replacement for offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who left to become coach at Arkansas State.

Saw that when I got home from playing golf, I had thought the Auburn folks would have already been on here with this one, personally I think they should be very happy with this hire, Coach BVG is the real deal IMO.

Been busy all afternoon but when I heard about this I was doing backflips! I am stoked about this hire, VanGorder is a HUGE upgrade and what we have needed for a few years on the defensive side of the ball. This sets the bar extremely high for the Offensive Coordinator hire.
 
Bama wins. They have Trent Richardson. He'll roll over Bengals. It's hard to be intimidated by anything that's purple and yellow.

I concur with this. I need them to win 17-10.
 
I'm going say Bama 21-17 (no field goals required).
 
21-7 LSU...

Go Tigers!

I agree, it is absolutely unbelievable how well he kicks. Like Jamie Sadlowski.

He might be. but he needs to remember he's a punter, he's got a diva attitude like a WR!
 
LOL at Alabama missing an FG after they faked the FG a few minutes prior to that. It has to get into the head of that kicker now.
