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 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 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.”

Irons is clearly special. Cut him some slack.

Like most beat writers he is waiting for a real job to come around, like traffic reporter for an am radio show. I hope he doesn't have to wait 35 years.

I don't even think he's trolling; I think it's more so to do that his motive is to completely put a negative image on anything pertaining to Alabama.

Wouldn't you do the same if you were him?

It's like they are running an internship football program. They bring in a head coach with 1 yr HC experience - the HC hires his old high school QB (with only 1 yr college experience as an OC at Samford) to coordinate the AU offense - then the only experienced coach on the offense who happens to be their ace recruiter jets to a hated rival for a lateral position - and they hire Kodi Burns to replace him?

Should I mention that they've run through 5 defensive coaching staffs in 7 years?

Damn - If my in state rival was experiencing never before seen football success in the midst of my program spinning their wheels, I'd work night and day to paint them I a negative light.
