Saving Grace...Flee FSU for Auburn, A.Phillips transfers to Auburn

In a move that was somewhat expected, former Florida State signee Aubrey Phillips has decided to transfer to Auburn.
In a move that was somewhat unexpected, the offensive lineman ripped the school in general, and high-strung offensive line coach Rick Trickett specifically, on his way out the door.
Phillips said the reason he left the school was because of the derogatory way he was treated by certain members of the coaching staff!
"I was mistreated and cussed out for no reason every day. I was told I would never play and called a ************ every day," Phillips was quoted. "He (Trickett) told me I would never play for him. He said he wished he had never signed me and all of that."I tried to put up with it, but it kept going on. He kept calling me a stupid ************ and all of that. My leaving had nothing to do with football. I told them I came there to play football, not be mistreated as a person."
Phillips also denied a recent report that his weight was on the rise and may have played a role in his decision to move on.
"I am just amazed at what the media is saying at Florida State," Phillips said. "They said I left because of my weight and everything. I left because of what was going on! I was losing weight something like 15 or 16 pounds while I was there--so the weight was not going to be a problem." The SEC Rocks!
