We had great numbers for a Friday afternoon.
Thanks for stopping by.
ps: I'll be adjusting my pregame video approach tomorrow. I'll focus on filming warm-ups, so you can see what they're doing. I figure that's more relevant to what you want to see tomorrow.
Phred's quote of the week ...
ReplyDeleteCTT on Arky
"They have an offense that is very familiar to us," Tuberville said.
Tranlsation - they suck like we do.
I am glad we have a few female hotties nowadays. Adds something to the whole thing. Speaking of which ... Tad ... you never told us about your letter in anymore detail.
ReplyDeletejay i heard a fat rumor:
ReplyDeleteSteve Sarkisian as next OC...thoughts?
Phred...I read Kristina's posts from earlier today....she's solid.
ReplyDeletei think kristina rocks
ReplyDeleteSorry I had to duck in and out gang. Work got busy all of a sudden.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the show at 9:30 am CDT Sat.

The name of my Fantasy Football team was the Danger Rangers. I have recently changed it to Auburn, because it can't score any points either. All of my players are either hurt, or having a bad year. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteBeen oh so busy the past couple of days. Below are the first two paragraphs of my letter to Jay Jacobs. At the end I basically say that even though I know he doesn't care that I won't be coming to any more games this year because the tickets are already paid for, I have better things to do with my time.
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed in the decision to fire Tony Franklin as Auburn’s offensive coordinator. I firmly believe that he was not given the leeway and support to install his offense at Auburn. The offensive line has been horrible, and has gone through spells of being horrible for several years. The kicking game, especially coverage, has been uneven. The wide receivers? Do we actually have a receivers coach?
Some may call me a conspiracy theorist, but I see a pattern emerging here. Auburn gets new defensive and offensive coordinators quite often. However, with the exception of the tight ends and linebacker coaches, the supporting cast remains the same. It seems to me the crew that came with Coach Tuberville from Ole Miss wants to do things the way they have always done them and is unable or unwilling to learn new things.
Awww...thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteSo how often do new OC's/DC's get to clean house and bring in their own staff?
Sarkisian makes NO sense at all IMO. But stranger things have happened...
Sarkisian? No.
ReplyDeleteAs far as gals on the site, there are more than you think. The others use names that don't tip their gender.
Not nearly as often as people on the radio would lead you to believe.
ReplyDeletedon't tip gender ... why? why not?
ReplyDeleteI just watched the Rivals video of Franklin leaving. Why was Bryan Matthews zooming in on Franklin's head??
ReplyDeleteHe was "examining" it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't ask them why. Being a gal in a guy-heavy world might be weird?
ReplyDeleteWhen I post on the "Showtune Enthusiasts" message boards, I hide my heterosexuality as to not stand out.
My favorites are Oklahoma, Big River, and Phantom of the Opera. Miss Saigon is in there.
ReplyDeleteCats? Dumbest thing I have ever seen.
I thought my google account would have used my sign on-name but it threw my actual name up there. Although the sign-on would have "tipped my gender" anyway so that's not really a point. Actually, I really don't care. I will totally play the "well, I am just a girl" card when I say something stupid ;-)
ReplyDeleteBorges is still being paid. Why not bring him back as a consultant for that money? No, I am not being serious.
ReplyDeleteSteve Sarkisian makes no sense though. I don't see why he'd leave USC. Who's the offensive coordinator at Arizona? They're putting up a lot of points this year.
G money ... there is word going around that some blows might have been exchanged between a certain coach and a certain player ... any input?
ReplyDeleteHow the hell did he get that gash on his head?
ReplyDeleteIf that's the case that player won't be playing for a long time... but i don't buy any of the rumors. There might have been or probably was a verbal altercation but my money says that's all that happened.
ReplyDeleteThere is no gash on anyone's head. I can't believe that's even been mentioned. I understand people getting suckered in by rumors, but to imagine a gash on someone's head is delusional.
ReplyDeleteIt just makes no sense why he would zoom into the guy's head for no reason. Was he admiring Franklin's hair or what?
ReplyDeleteHas Franklin made a comment? I'm guessing "no" since it's isn't posted on here. Seems like a long time for that man to keep his mouth shut. Hopefully he's not getting lawyered up or anything.
ReplyDeleteHe was probably trying to zoom in on his face. He's not a professional cameraman.
ReplyDelete"They told me to get lost"
ReplyDelete"There's no reason to hang around"
These are not happy comments.
I've worked a camcorder before, I promise it isn't that difficult.
ReplyDeleteThen maybe you should give lessons.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is he saw a piece of Tony's nasty greasy hair out of place and was trying to figure out what was crawling on his face. Or else he had already heard the rumor there was a scuffle and was checking for evidence.
ReplyDeleteI think Pugh held Franklin down while Kodi slammed a chair over his head.
ReplyDeleteand then Mr. Perfect came in with the Perfectplex.
ReplyDeleteMy predictions for tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteI say the offense comes out playing really hard. Mainly because we are going to run the ball alot. The linemen hated the spread and Ben Tate should've hated the spread and that's all that should matter on offense. I say Chris Todd starts and Kodi plays a good bit. I am guessing we still don't huddle and the people are still spazing out on the sidelines.
I was going to bring this up on wednesday before the bottom fell out, but got distracted... Zac Etheridge can not cover people. Vanderbilt and LSU exploited him badly. He's one of my favorite players but he sucks in coverage. I fully expect Petrino to take advantage of that with some mismatches.
Auburn - 23
Arkansas - 14
I heard it was Nall with a flying DDT.
ReplyDeletedid you guys not know I am a chick? I didn't get as warm of a welcome as kristin. Is it because you think I am an ugly girl? Well I'm not. I'm pretty hot.
ReplyDeleteKristina:
ReplyDeleteOne of the unwritten rules of HABOTN is you have to enable access to your profile. Inquiring minds want to know....
anyone coming to the lovliest village?
ReplyDeleteeasy trigger
ReplyDeleteOk well, when I actually put something in my profile I will enable it. I'll get right to work on that. What exactly do inquiring minds want to know? Wait, not sure I want that answered.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can usually be found in the lovliest village...
Just yankin the chain....it is kinda cool being able to see where everyone is from and what they do.
ReplyDeleteThe profile photos are cool too. Ron M has the doctored vince young pix, phred has the self portrait, hoopie has the fishing photo, I have my kid in last year's halloween costume (along with the ever present sucker)....
ReplyDeletethings change
ReplyDeleteRon Mexico is Michael Vick.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in Auburn tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin.
There is a point in the video of Franklin packing his car when they zoom in on his head. Something is going on there. Not sure what. I do know Jay said he didn't see any sort of wound/stitches and that was good enough for me.
ReplyDeletebtw, being a chick on a mostly non-chick board can be good and can be bad for lots of reasons.
Jay,
ReplyDeletewhat is the injury report looking like for tomorrow?
tell me about it, mond!
ReplyDeleteMond,
ReplyDeleteCare to expound on your "chick on mostly non-chick board" theory a bit more?
You were right, Michael you are totally worth the name HOTTIE!
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect offense that will settle our QB controversy.
ReplyDeletehttp://a11offense.com/
Ok gang, Red Sox won (yay!) so I am outta here. I have often thought being an Auburn fan is akin to being a Red Sox fan prior to 1994. I hope we don't have to wait 30 more years to win it all...
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle!
Why isn't the A11 offense approved in AL or GA?
ReplyDeleteThat's the whackiest looking thing I have ever seen. We'll probably run it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the "War Eagle Formation"? We saw glimpses in the UT game
ReplyDeleteMorning funnies...
ReplyDeleteNEW PLAYBOOK
New Playbook
ReplyDeleteNice. Looks pretty good to me though
if we can run those plays like Tecmo-Bowl BO could, i'm in like Flynn. word. i'm sure those will work better than anything we've seen so far.
ReplyDeletefry the piggies.
what about the guy that got fired from Oakland. I cant remeber his name and dont feel like looking it up but I think he was the OC at USC..southern cal that is. anyway just a thought?
ReplyDeleteThose Tecmo plays would work unless the defense had LT. We would also never make an XP or FG.
ReplyDeleteNever mind, we can't do that anyway.
mr. sensible, please pare your playbook down by 30% before sharing it with ensminger. it's overwhelmingly large for our offense. wde!
ReplyDeleteWas that the oilers' offense? Looks like some run and shoot there.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Tecmo Super Bowl
Lane Kiffin..that's who I was thinking about. What about Kiffin for OC? Maybe a little unrealistic but why not..man need a job we need an OC.
ReplyDeleteanyone have an updated injury report?
ReplyDeletethe person who told me about the rumor said USC's OC...which i know realize they meant Lane Kiffin. .
ReplyDeleteayway the rumor was that they would announce kiffin on sunday
again just a rumor i heard, i believe the orginal source was Clayton Crofoot
Lots of rumors going around out there.
ReplyDeleteI "heard" that Franklin was holding a press conference yesterday. Uh, not exactly.
I guess I need to get a post up for today eh?
ok..let me get this straight. When I asked about kiffin it was just a thought. Am I undersstanding that there is actually a rumor that kiffin is a possibility.I know rumors are rumors but huh? who'd a thunk it. Just out of curiosity does kiffin run the spread?
ReplyDeleteBack to reality guys... Lane Kiffin is not going to be our oc. He will be a head coach somewhere (hopefully Auburn)
