Question: If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing that you would buy and why?Answer: “I would buy a huge house. When you are young you idolize people and they have big, huge houses. They have these big houses with all these different rooms. They are so nice and lovely and they are somewhere that you can go and relax and you can have a big bed like Shaquille O’Neil. Shaquille O’Neal has a 30-foot bed. Who has a 30-foot bed in their house? Just imagine having something like that and relaxing and just saying I’m home. And you can have a lot of go-carts out in front of your house to ride in.”
Q: What is your most prized possession and something that you could not live without?A: “Candy, I love candy. I love candy bars and snacks. If they didn’t make snacks and junk food then I would be lost. I wake up in the morning eating honey buns. (Strength and Conditioning) Coach Yoxall wants us to gain weight and I tell him that I eat good food and then he asks what I have been eating. I always tell him that I’ve had two Little Debbie snacks, some brownies, and some cookies. He always tells me that is not going to help me gain weight, but I love snacks. I would eat snacks over any kind of healthy food any day.”
Q: If you had to be stranded on a deserted island for one month, which one of your teammates would you want to bring with you and why?
A: “I would bring Tre Smith because he is the most unique person ever. He thinks of the most amazing things. If we were on a deserted island we would probably sit around and think about what he brought up yesterday. He said ‘What if a team was on the 50-yard line and they had to kick a field goal to win the game and you had somebody like Carl Stewart who has a 42-inch vertical? If the team kicks the ball and they are barely going to make it and it is just going to graze inside the goalpost and you have Carl jump up and block it before it gets there, would that be OK? And would they count that? What could they do? That is a really good question because there is no goaltending in football so they couldn’t do anything about it because Carl just jumps up and blocks it.’ Tre is just wild and he is exciting and good to be around so I would bring Tre Smith.”
Q: Out of all of your teammates, who would make the best politician?
A: “Will Herring would make the best politician because he is very smart. He is a smart guy and if you want to argue with him about something you have to have your facts. Arguing with him is like arguing with a lawyer. He has all the information online and he is ready and he can back up anything. So I think that Will would make a good politician. He should run for governor of Alabama or mayor of Auburn.”
Q: What is your favorite Auburn tradition and why?
A: “The rolling of Toomer’s corner because I had never experienced something so amazing in my life. When I came to Auburn I saw all of these people huddled around this tree and I was like, ‘What is this?’ You have all of these people and they have all of this toilet paper. They have soft toilet paper and every kind of toilet paper and they are all throwing it at a tree. I was like ‘Why are they throwing all of this toilet paper at a tree?,’ and they told me that they were rolling Toomer’s corner. I asked who is going to clean all of this mess up and they told me that the wind would blow it all away or the rain would wash it down. They said sometimes they have people come clean it up and I said that I wouldn’t want to have to clean up all of this toilet paper.”
Q: What is your best talent outside of football?
A: “Drawing. I like to draw, if you consider that a talent. I like to disguise myself as other people, too. I call that a talent. I like telling people that I am somebody else. I tell people that I play water polo and if they ask me what position I play I tell them right water. I don’t even know if that is a position but I tell them that I play right water.”
Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?A: “In ten years from now I see myself being on the beach just lounging. I just want to lounge around in a nice beach house and I will have a four-wheeler on the beach so I can drive around. I just want to be able to hang around and have fun. I also see my traveling around the world. I want to go to little islands that are just out there somewhere far and I would also like to go to Europe. I’ve never been to Europe or Paris. I want to go somewhere like Fiji or Tahiti.”

After the Sociology classes became public at Auburn, the Birmingham News interviewed Bammer football players Ahmad Childress and Simeon Castille about how they and other Bammer players stay eligible to play football.
This story is not really funny, but it does show how Bammer keeps their retarded players like Santanio Beard, Antwan Odum, Albert Means, Josh Chapman, and Kerry Murphy eligible to play football.
Many athletes don't need a special path through college - they take challenging courses without the need for extra guidance. But at every school, pockets of athletes who struggle academically find ways to stay eligible.
Alabama cornerback Simeon Castille wishes he were still a communications major. He wants to become a broadcaster.
He's a general studies major in the College of Human Environmental Sciences now because "I screwed up, and this is getting me back on track to graduate."
Castille was academically ineligible for the Cotton Bowl last season. He became lazy, he said, and passed only three credits in the fall 2005 semester, leading to his ineligibility and a change in major.
General studies in HES is a popular place for key Alabama football players. It accounts for 40 percent of the majors for undergrad starters in 2006, as of Oct. 14, according to the team's media guide.
General studies combines two or more existing majors from the College of Human Environmental Sciences: apparel and textiles, athletic training, consumer sciences, early childhood education, food and nutrition, health studies, human development and family studies, interior design, and restaurant and hospitality management.
It's a safe home for athletes to be eligible for football and other sports, too," said Childress, the former Alabama defensive tackle who was a general studies major. "You really don't do too much work. You're basically taking notes in class."
Childress said he was made aware of HES general studies by advisers in the athletics department.
After going on academic probation when his grade-point average fell to 1.7, Childress said he used easy general studies courses and electives to increase his mark to the 2.5 the university said he needed to play.
Childress, an arena football player who is 15 credits shy of graduating, said he regrets treating academics so lightly and blames himself. He wishes he had told advisers he was interested in human resources instead of easily accepting classes that would keep him playing football.
"Nobody never challenged me. I wish somebody had. But . ?. ?. at that time, you're a grown man. It's on you."

Phillip Marshall of Auburnundercover said he expects Rollison to qualify.
Also, Longshore from AM 740 in Montgomery was cracking on him saying 185 pounds is lanky wormy, but yet he does not say a word about McCarron who is lanky and prepubescent looking.

Stupid athletes....they need to realize they are probably not going to have NFL careers, so make the most of a freakin' free college education instead of taking restaurant management courses.

You need to read the following quote from Ahmad Childress again:
It's a safe home for athletes to be eligible for football and other sports, too," said Childress, the former Alabama defensive tackle who was a general studies major. "You really don't do too much work. You're basically taking notes in class."
Childress said he was made aware of HES general studies by advisers in the athletics department.
After going on academic probation when his grade-point average fell to 1.7, Childress said he used easy general studies courses and electives to increase his mark to the 2.5 the university said he needed to play.
When Ahmad Childress went on academic probation, one of the advisers in the Bammer athletic department encouraged him to change his course of study to a major that basically required no work. If all schools did that, no players would ever become academically ineligible or flunk out of school.
The NCAA supposedly wants their member institutions to actually give their athletes an education, not just steer them to a bunch of easy majors and easy classes just so those athletes can stay eligible for 4 or 5 years.
As that article clearly states, Ahmad Childress never actually graduated from Bammer. That article shows Bammer is just a football factory that does whatever it takes to keep their football players eligible.

Yeah, like every SEC school besides Vandy...
There are outstanding students on every team, and there are also the guys who are only in college because they are bigger and faster than 95% of all people on the planet. Those guys get steered into courses they have a chance to pass, no doubt. Childress wasn't going to cut it in Orbital Mechanics or Combustion Theory...might as well learn how to run a Taco Bell to prepare him for the day after he doesn't get drafted...
