Good morning all! Pull up a chair, grab a cup and let's talk.

It seems the rain has finally stopped in Auburn. I don't know how many inches fell over the course of the day, but it was a lot. It was enough to chase the Auburn football inside for Tuesday's practice.

There was a whole new coming out of interviews Tuesday, but there was a little. Offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn said he is committed to getting the job done at Auburn abd is not looking at any head caoching job. Head coach Gene Chizik said freshman Travante Stallworth will not play Saturday. I don't expect him to play again this season.

We have lots of stuff for you today and lots to come the rest of the week. Today, we have a story on the Auburn-Georgia rivalry and what it means to the current players. We have a story on the 1996 Auburn-Georgia game, the first overtime game in Auburn history.

Matt Nascone has a story on the recruitment of Nashville offensive lineman James Stone.

We have all that and more. Come see us at http://www.auburnundercover.com and have a great day!

AUBURN – Vince Dooley won more games than any coach in Georgia history and, in 1980, won a championship. He is an Auburn man.

Pat Dye won four of Auburn’s six Southeastern Conference championships. He is a Georgia man.

As athletic director, Joel Eaves hired Dooley, a young freshman coach at Auburn, and set the course for Georgia’s program that led eventually to a national championship. Eaves was an Auburn man.

Tracy Rocker, who became the most decorated defensive lineman in Southeastern Conference history at Auburn and is now Auburn’s defensive line coach, grew up in Georgia. Running back Ronnie Brown and cornerback Carlos Rogers helped Auburn go 13-0 in 2004 and were chosen in the first round of the NFL draft. Both grew up in Georgia.

Under Armour All-America offensive lineman James Stone was scheduled to take an official visit to Auburn last weekend, but he opted to follow family tradition.

Stone, 6-foot-6 and 297 pounds from Nashville/Maplewood, was spending time with his aunts, Nancy and Mary Drongoole, at Tennessee State's homecoming game against Tennessee Martin. Stone lives with his aunts, and Maplewood coach Ralph Thompson said Stone did not want to miss out on the fun.

“He was not in Auburn partly because we had the first round of the playoffs, but Tennessee State had its homecoming and his two aunts both went there, so they went to that game instead,” Thompson told AuburnUndercover.com. “That is somewhat of a family tradition for them, and he wanted to go have fun with them. They are a very close, tight-knit group.”
