Signing day: The aftermath

First of all, a big thanks to everyone who stopped by the blog yesterday. The War Eagle Extra set all sorts of single-day records for visitors (3,036) and page views (6,362). Just to give you an idea of how that compares to the usual daily blog traffic, here's the Sitemeter graph that shows day-to-day visits and page views. Notice the large spike yesterday.

Anyway, I never really did a breakdown of each of Auburn's signees from yesterday. Fortunately, the fine folks of Auburn's media relations staff sent out these player bios yesterday for every player in the Tigers' 2009 class.


(Also, we're trying out a new font on the War Eagle Extra. I think it looks better. And for some reason it makes formatting stuff easier, so I think it'll stick.)

.....As someone who was TRYING yester day to find a cohesive list for reference, while writing his own post... That's one of the best out there. Great job!

Awesome job on the list Andy! Thanks for all the quick updates yesterday as well. I kept your blog up at work and just hit refresh when I was ready for an update, there was no need to look at any other sites. I also like the new font, easier on the eyes.
