Unfortunately, I was not able to attend because of the high school baseball playoff series I was covering in Rome, Ga. But columnist Guerry Clegg was able to make it. Here's his take on the evening.

A couple other issues were addressed during Chizik's stop, which fellow beat writer Evan Woodbery of the Mobile Press-Register chronicles well on his blog.

The big news? Tight end Gabe McKenzie is back on the team after missing the spring with undisclosed health issues. "Gabe's going to be working out with us," Chizik told the Press-Register. "There are some health issues and things, but I really feel like we're on the right track in getting Gabe back to where he was. We're excited about watching the progress of him and we'll just continue to monitor that."

As for wide receiver Montez Billings, who did not participate in the spring for academic reasons, Chizik said they are still working to resolve some things before Billings can get on the field. This whole situation is strange, since Billings was one of eight football players to walk in Auburn's graduation ceremony earlier this month. How do you do that if you have academic issues?
