quote:

AUBURN, Ala. – As the football season of 2009 neared its end at Woodlawn High School, Chris Davis was doing everything one man could do. He was playing quarterback. He was playing defense. He was returning punts and kicks.

Yet, even as he ran around and through opponents, Davis’ mailbox was strangely empty, his telephone strangely quiet. Davis’ coach, Bruce Breland, called him “the most gifted athlete I’ve ever coached,” but college recruiters weren’t paying attention.

That began to change because a local high school official was impressed and made a telephone call. He called Jeff Holland, a former high school coach whose son, Jake, was a Pelham linebacker who had been Auburn’s first defensive commitment.

So you are telling me in light of Chris Davis's heroics in the IB, and essentially getting us to the BCS NC, that Jake Holland made this all happen and is responsible for arguably the most positive event in AU history?

We have come full circle. Pandora's Box has been unleashed.

ETA: Didn't read article.

So message board posting Jeff Holland and tackle missing Jake Holland indirectly won us the greatest iron bowl in iron bowl history.
