For the first time in 4 years, Auburn won't have to deal with this guy...

Phuck you for sending us Ted Roof

Neiko "toast" Thorpe was a good guy, and an Auburn man, but he got toasted plenty. Of course he had a terrible DC and a worse DB coach. Thank gawd both Roof and Lolley are gone...at least from the field.

RIP Neiko



Our defense won't be the same without you

Gmac's 1st td bomb. Bring back Neikooooo

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Shame on the man of cultivated taste who permits refinement to develop into fastidiousness that unfits him for doing the rough work of a workaday world. Among the free peoples who govern themselves there is but a small field of usefulness open for the men of cloistered life who shrink from contact with their fellows. Still less room is there for those who deride or slight what is done by those who actually bear the brunt of the day; nor yet for those others who always profess that they would like to take action, if only the conditions of life were not exactly what they actually are. The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be a cynic, or fop, or voluptuary. There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of great and generous emotion, of the high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of the men who quell the storm and ride the thunder. Well for these men if they succeed; well also, though not so well, if they fail, given only that they have nobly ventured, and have put forth all their heart and strength. It is war-worn Hotspur, spent with hard fighting, he of the many errors and valiant end, over whose memory we love to linger, not over the memory of the young lord who "but for the vile guns would have been a valiant soldier."

Now frick off and grow the frick up, you little do-nothing pissant.

how come no one ever beat him out?

Yeah...kind of feel bad for Neiko...OP is just saying what most of us are thinking but choose not to say a lot of the times. Not that worried about it though.

The interesting thing about Neiko is that he didn't often "get burned"...he was almost always right there...but had absolutely zero ball skills. But he normally had a REALLY good view of the opposing WR's making catches.

BeerBryant. You analysis is so flawed, I don't even know where to begin. I'll just pick the one I think you are just misinformed on: It became evident a few games into the season that our OL was killing us and we would be better, at that time, immediately, if Christian Westerman and Greg Robinson were starting. Coach Grimes and Chiz butted heads about this and Chiz won...he did not want to burn the redshirts after 5 or so games had passed. We just dealt with what we had. Auburn OL WILL be better next year and even better the following year...when we'll have one JR and the rest underclassmen. You are picking on the wrong position if you want to provide an example of how Auburn sucks or WILL suck. Try D-line...you'll have more success there.
