News of the day, 9/13

Hey everyone. I took some time off this afternoon to handle this TV situation that I've been facing for a while. I'd been sitting on a gift card for too long. It was time to boogie and, yes, I occasionally stop thinking about football to focus on other aspects of my life.

I got a 40" LCD 1080p Samsung. Big up to readers Patrick Peters and Tommy Godwin, whose advice I ultimately took. Thanks to everyone who provided ideas. I had to eliminate plasmas because they were too reflective. I really wanted the Pioneer, which wasn't reflective. I couldn't get the price into a sports writer range.

Now that I have a sweet new television rockin' the house, I'm back on the football tip. Check below for more million-dollar insights.

Thanks for taking time to assess the HOTTEST Auburn blog on the 'net.

Auburn practiced this morning and two injured players (S Aairon Savage and LB Tray Blackmon) again were participating fully. Their status has been upgraded to "probable" by coach Tommy Tuberville. I predicted zero MSU points during an interview with Max Howell this morning. If Blackmon plays like he usually does, I may have to dip MSU's forceast into negative numbers.

Isn't it odd that LT King Dunlap, the most experienced player on Auburn's offensive line, has been the lowest-graded player in both games so far? I've been on some radio shows lately with hosts who want me to disparage the offense -- these things are obvious after about 20 interviews -- but the offensive line is actually a very encouraging element for the Tigers. Surely Dunlap will increase his production to usual levels soon. Then Auburn adds three young guys making quick improvement (G Mike Berry, G Tyronne Green and RT Lee Ziemba) and a shrewd center in Jason Bosley. Blocking will be a strength by mid-season.

Congrats on your TV purchase. I was the one who recommended the Pioneer 5080 last week. A buddy of mine has the Samsung 1080p LCD and it looks great. Samsung makes the best LCD in my opinion. I have a 32" in my den. Once you get your HD going, you will love watching sports like never before!

Jay,

I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed reading your blog this year. It's very informative and interesting. I know it's not easy to continually keep it current -- thanks for all the hard work. It makes game days much more enjoyable when you know what's going on with the team.

The Pioneers are the best HDTVs out there. Outstanding pieces of equipment. I just couldn't justify that price when the Samsung was 90% as good for approximately 1/2 the price.

The SD channels (digital channels) look better than expected. I get HD installed tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it.

And thanks for supporting the blog. It's been rewarding -- just for the advice I got on HD purchases alone.

Just wanted to say Happy Jewish New Year pal. Hope your 5769 (that's what year it is) goes as swell as your 5768.

Also, you really think blocking will be a strength by the end of the year?

Thanks for the warm Jewish tidings, my friend. I'd reciprocate with some Cathlolic stuff. It's not that time of year yet.

I think blocking will be a strength before long. Book it.

Maybe Cox and Dunlap are roomates! Haha.
