Come join in the fun.

Beth said...: It has taken me this long to get caught up, Mr and I had to work today, so we are behind and then all the talk of ice cream made me need a good old fashion blizzard from DQ. I hope that the game was not as depressing as it seems reading through the blog and quotes. Also, I agree we need the fire back. I really wish we cared more about offense than having a deffensive battle every week.; 8:42 PM

Denny Crum said...: guys I don't want to sound like a bourbon snob,,,but knob creek and makers mark have been over marketed and are not that great.

Corner Creek Four Roses Single Barrel Blanton's Single Barrel
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 20 Year (Would have been first, but it is never in stock anywhere). Woodford Reserve is an excellent bourbon as well; 8:53 PM
Unknown said...: from what I have seen, Harrell deserves H-man trophy. escapability, accuracy, brains, vision, feels the pressure in the pocket, field awareness; no this is not a man-crush, more of amazement of being a great QB. Well, he has been starting for 3 years.; 8:54 PM

FSJ said...: Knob Creek is my favorite bourbon at this time, although I do like Maker's Mark too.

Knob Creek is made by the Jim Beam company, but it is their mid range bourbon (i.e. more expensive than Jim Beam, but less expensive than Bookers, which is good too but stout).

I highly recommend it.; 9:03 PM
Denny Crum said...: no selection...and 25 to 40 per cent more expensive...and they hit you with sales tax on top of that.; 9:03 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: I would take ND in an Au matchup.; 9:06 PM
Denny Crum said...: I found Knob Creek to be a disappointment. Makers Mark is far superior. Woodford Reserve is the better of the three. I mention those because those are some that can be found in Alabama. At least until Emory Folmer changes his mind.

Free Market the state should be out of the liquor store business. We aren't completely socialist ...yet; 9:06 PM

JD said...: I really don't understand the hype with Tim Brewster. He was 1-11 last year and this year has won a few games but still hasn't overly impressed me.; 9:06 PM
Anonymous said...: Au1n04,

When Texas Tech hits 28, they are just getting started.

When AU hits 28, it's either the very end of the game or the beginning of Fonz offense*.

*Fonz offense - sitting on it; 9:07 PM

Quitstina said...: Tim are those real odds or your guess?; 9:09 PM

I don't think you should run up the score..,,but you got to keep it up to give the team that killer instinct.; 9:09 PM

FSJ said...: Denny:

That's the great thing about bourbon...Everybody that partakes has their favorites. All three you mentioned are far superior to Jack Daniels. I don't dip into the stash often, just on special occasions. Tonight certainly qualifies.; 9:10 PM
JD said...: While we're talking about HS teams. I know that this week we'll hear, Yall beat a HS team. So what? Who cares that Tennessee Martin may play at a level closely related with Powder Puff Sorority Leagues. At this point I would take an AU win over the 6-7 year old cheerleaders from the worst YMCA football team in Montgomery as a step in the right direction.; 9:10 PM
Monica said...: I agree with Mia Hamm:

“You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again”; 9:11 PM
FSJ said...: Before anybody mentions it, I am aware that Jack Daniels is not a bourbon. It is a Tennessee Whiskey.

Too sweet for my tastes.; 9:11 PM
Unknown said...: prediction= FL beats Bama by 17 in Atl, and Bama plays Utah in Sugar Bowl. TTech vs, FL in NC game, prep the lights on the scoreboard, and Def. Coords, prep your resumes.; 9:11 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I'm with you biscuitator.; 9:11 PM
Denny Crum said...: faker,

As you well know,,Jack Daniels is not a bourbon, but rather a harsh Tennessee whiskey; 9:12 PM
FSJ said...: I guess Auburn didn't look to hot today judging by some of the comments.

What went wrong? Scoring 37 points has to be a boost for the offense, no?; 9:12 PM
Monica said...: When you get old like me, biscuit, you won't give a *&^% what other people say and you won't have to think of responses.; 9:13 PM

I remember having a conversation this summer with a Bama fan friend and I said that Auburn had a great backfield anyone would want.

I was so very wrong. I'm pretty sure a lot of teams would like a Coffee/Ingram duo these days.; 9:15 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: FSJ and Denny- Co-Bourbon Authorities on HABOTN. Jay needs an accolade section to this blog, and that should be listed. This info could come in very handy at Christmas time.; 9:15 PM
Quitstina said...: No, faker. The score is not a good indication of the game. We stunk. And I'm the over optimistic one around here. Not any more!; 9:15 PM

Add Upchurch to that list too. He may turn out to be the best of the bunch. He got a shoulder stinger on ST early in the game and they held him out as a precaution. .

The most telling thing to me is that last year's starter at RB is now fourth string.; 9:18 PM

All I was saying was that it's probably easier to not let what people say get to you in a place like WV or even Auburn than it is in a place where there are as many Bammers or fans from other schools that want to see you lose and rub your nose in it when that happens. I know that this year has been a struggle to be an AU fan for every AU fan no matter where you are.
