Sure he may have never beaten Michigan, but he's generated some interest from LU. And Chris' story yesterday generated some buzz over in Alabama:

Dang it, I was trying to format my Works Cited attempt and you hit submit first.

[Cider Jim]

I liked the detail about how Cooper is making 125K. I know we can do better than that.

Look he even has a head coaching win from this year>>>>>>

AUBURN -- John Cooper thought Wednesday would be just another day.

Then Auburn's top assistant got a late-afternoon call. Head coach Jeff Lebo was stuck in bed with influenza, leaving Cooper to handle the Tigers' most significant game of the season.

No problem.

Auburn overcame a sluggish first-half performance to earn an 80-68 win against LSU. The victory bumped the Tigers into a four-way tie for first place atop the Southeastern Conference's Western Division

Thanks, Matthews. Any sign of his dog Cleo?

[Hold My Own]

is he hold a crystal ball? Turban? Dangling earing?

[jcmanson]

I know you have a camera phone! Take a pic!

[FlameNForest]

Can you tell if he's enjoying Hindson's message?

[Hold My Own]

Maybe this is the true test...if he enjoys the message they wont hire him...b/c then we'd know he'd be faking his entire faith

[PAmedic]

Is he wearing a T-shirt with his name on it so you know its him?

I hear thats a sound method of validating ID

[Hold My Own]

isnt he the one with the Medic Stache?

[Killn'emsoftly]

you guys are funny, i can't stop laughing at the 'enjoying the message' -- you know he really fits in if he falls asleep!

You didn't correctly use the quote function. You better be careful or you will be in trouble

[whmatthews]

Sorry guys I didn't get any type of picture or more details than only he was sitting pretty close to me. I saw him standing at the concourse and was thinking... "That guy looks familiar", then I saw Barber standing beside him talking to someone so I put my laptop on the ground beneath me so the RA couldn't see me and checked this wonderful site and recognized him. He didn't look too intrigued by Hindson's message (although it was a good sermon). He was wearing a dark blue suit with a light blue tie, for whoever asked about what he was wearing. I looked back about 5 minutes to 11 and they were all gone, so... maybe out to lunch. None-the-less, it was him.

[TDDance234]

I did see Barber with a couple but had no thought of even to put together that it was a coaching candidate.

Interesting.

[Cider Jim]

I wonder if lunch will be at Crown Sterling or the LU cafeteria? I wish Mrs. SCAR would have been given some advance notice so that she could have had some of her cookies ready for the Coopers.
