News of the day, 10/25
Hey everyone. Two months 'til Christmas. Isn't that amazing?My friend Gordon, Montgomery insurance magnate, referred to a gal today as a "fox." That is the first documented use of that word (in that context) since 1992. Congratulations.
Also, a lot of people have been asking me about Tommy Tuberville's commitment to Auburn. That's asked in the context of: Will he leave Auburn? I don't have an answer for that. He likes entertaining offers because it enhances his value -- perhaps "perceived value" is more accurate -- in the eyes of college administrators everywhere. Tuberville's agent, Jimmy Sexton, likes that tack as well.
Thanks for freeing up some of your valuable time to meander through our little enterprise, which happens to be the HOTTEST Auburn blog on the 'net.
There has been some discussion on the message boards about Tuberville's decision to fire up a squib kick prefacing LSU's final possession. That has been a trendy tactic now that kickoffs depart from the 30. I didn't think much of it. Nonetheless, Tuberville addressed this issue on Sunday. He said Wes Byrum still is dealing with the ankle injury that limited him earlier in the season.``He hasn't kicked off deep all year since his ankle -- that and we weren't going to kick it to their deep guy," Tuberville said.
Preliminary intelligence suggests that Auburn's game at Georgia on Nov. 10 will be on CBS. I initially believed the game would be telecast on another network, but apparently ESPN has engineered a deal to get the Florida-South Carolina-Steve Spurrier orgy of brilliance.

Do you know if game is on National TV.. ESPN or CBS or Gameplan?
You mean the OM game?
It's on PPV through TV Stars.
Can't wait to watch the OM game on PPV. I guess the AU Network budget doesn't include showing replays. Nothing is better than watching a game on TV and having the replay be a camera showing what's on the jumbotron at the stadium. It's almost as bad as watching a game on LF.
In the NM State game this year, which was also _only_ televised on PPV, there were many official timeouts during the game... some of them were extremely long - with Red Hat Guy on the field for an excruciating amount of time - as if there were commercials playing during the breaks.
My question: Does PPV show commercials? I was under the impression that since it was PPV, there shouldn't be any commercials during the breaks. If so, why all the long pauses?
No there aren't any commercials during a PPV game, at least not doing the NMState game. They were usually just showing the stands. We didn't even have replay for the first part of the game and then I guess someone for the network was like 'let's just show the jumbotron for replays!' Hey Buck thanks for the stat on LSU kickoffs. I didn't think they were that dangerous!
I saw last night that the OM game is on ESPN GamePlan. Does that change anything? Will in be produced in a more professional manner?
No, that just means that if you pay for the Gameplan, you get the AU Network broadcast of the game. It's the same as if you live outside the SE you get the 8 Dave's on LF with ESPN Gameplan.
