mytommyd said...: Way to go all you hotties that got it over 800. Interesting to read the comments from the front. Took my nephew to his first Auburn game. Ordered up the opening kickoff TD for him. Didn't realize that came with another45 minutes of mediocrity.Had to come read Jay's take on all of it and I thought I was dreaming when I saw 829 on the comments.; 7:28 AM

Monica said...: Watching Sports Reporters on ESPN and my question is, "Where was all this righteous indignation over the BCS in 2004?"; 8:40 AM
Anonymous said...: Back in '04, it wasn't their darlings left outside looking in on it all.; 8:55 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Wow, I'm # 836. Looks like I missed out on some fun.

Kinda glad the game yesterday wasn't on TV, reading the wrap up and the stats it's not like we did very well in the win.; 9:12 AM
JD said...: Monica I wasn't able to catch the sports reporters today. What did they have to say about the BCS? Because in my mind it's pretty cut and dry to this point Bama and Tx Tech are the best teams and should play in the NC game if it were held today. Were speculating about future losses by either one of these teams and saying the NC game should be played betweeen?; 9:28 AM
Anonymous said...: Feeling wonderful this morning. The birds are chirping, the sun is out, and my head is pounding.

The sports reporters on ESPN are a collection of idiot savants.; 9:43 AM
Monica said...: Mr. S - you're exactly right...

Biscuit - they were talking 1)how most of them don't like the BCS - period 2) if bama or TT loses what mess that will be 3) one of them saying they didn't think bama should be in it all all because the SEC is so down this year 4) all agreeing that the BCS should NOT be the topic, that the teams should the topic and that, in itself, was part of the problem; 9:45 AM
Monica said...: Faker, where do you think their savantism is focused?; 9:48 AM
Anonymous said...: I think the savants want a Florida vs Big 12 matchup if they can't figure out a way to get USC into the fray.; 9:54 AM
dan dan the AU fan said...: Have to admit that I'm a little amused that Bama is not getting the love " because they're Alabama" We have heard for four years now that what happened to us in '04 would not have happened to "The Universty" Would be a little funny if it did.; 9:57 AM
Monica said...: Well, I don't think they're idiots. I agree that we need a playoff system.; 10:03 AM
Anonymous said...: Well Dan..

If Alabama wins out (and it is an "if") they will play for the national championship.; 10:05 AM
michael said...: What the heck is goin on around here? Has the whole world lost it's head?

Any highlights from the last 844 comments? BEcause I don't think I have the time to review it all.; 10:21 AM
Anonymous said...: Well, there were alot of posts with single letters in them.

Example:

F- Post One
A- Post Two
K- Post Three
E- Post Four

We also learned that Mon has ties to Tuscaloosa, even though she disavows them.

Additionally, there was a lively discussion of Bourbon, Auburn football, Mel and the Party Hats, Super T, the Velcro Pygmies, PUI's and trying to blow Jay's mind with the number of posts.; 10:26 AM
Monica said...: I'm going to punish you, Faker.; 10:34 AM

Greg asked me to ask this of the Hotties:

How far fetched would this be? Either this year or after giving CTT one more year what if we cleaned house, hire Franklin back?

Greg says
-Franklin wasn't given enough time
-Without him we wouldn't have been sitting mid summer with -a nearly full recruiting class
-People who are wanting to be "like Texas Tech" should want Franklin

So, he wants your thoughts on Franklin and on trying to get another spread expert.; 10:48 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Check out CFN.com's Bowl projections:

Anonymous said...: I think the hiring of Franklin was a big mistake. A mistake that may or may not cost Tuberville his job.

Auburn football is smash mouth. Auburn won alot of games with it. Today, they have no identity on offense. There doesn't seem to be any bread and butter plays that they can go to when things get tough.

JMO, as an outside observer.; 10:52 AM
Anonymous said...: Chris,

I can certainly see the SEC champion playing against either Texas, Oklahoma, or Texas Tech for the National Championship.; 10:53 AM
ron mexico said...: nobody wants be like texas tech in the SEC the big 12 doesn't play defense. Texas Tech's offense would be awesome in a flag football game.; 10:55 AM
ron mexico said...: fake steve is correct, alot of things around Auburn would get fixed with an offensive cordinator that knew what he was doing and franklin doesn't qualify for that.; 10:57 AM
Monica said...: I've followed TradeSports for a few years. It's interesting because people are putting their money where their mouth is versus a regular poll. If you've never checked it out it's cool and usually right.

Right now, the "market" at Tradesports has Florida as the outright BCS Champion.

Auburn is 8-2 or 7-3 going into UGA.

The losses would have been the following games:

LSU, WVU, and possibly Ole Miss.; 11:11 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Hey hotties.

Had to post an unfortunate entry this morning about Virgil Starks. He died last night.; 11:13 AM
ron mexico said...: and georgia would be kodi burns 11th game to start and not his 4th; 11:15 AM
Monica said...: There are just lots of you who think the spread (in any variety) won't work in the SEC. I'm not sure how you can think that with Florida running the spread option. And let's not forget how WVU defended the SEC (Ga, Auburn, MS State).; 11:18 AM
Anonymous said...: Mon:

Florida's spread is good because of Tim Tebow. The struggled with it the year before Tebow got there. Let's see how they do when that freak of nature is gone.

As for WVU, you can discount Auburn and Miss. State. Neither were very good when they played WVU.

The UGA win was impressive, but it was one win.

Besides, Tuberville has been very good at stopping the spread that Florida runs.; 11:22 AM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Did this really happen? Wowza 860 comments!No way in heck I'm reading this. Anyone got any talking points from this thread and the game threads yesterday?; 11:45 AM
Anonymous said...: Say what you want about Auburn's season, but Brad Lester has not lost his confidence....

He's predicting wins over Auburn and Alabama by a "good amount" of points according to Phillip Marshall's reporting.; 12:33 PM
Anonymous said...: Crap..I meant he is picking wins over UGA and Alabama by a good amount of points.; 12:34 PM
Anonymous said...: Auburn vs. UGA 11:30 Raycom
Florida vs USC 2:30 CBS
Alabama vs Miss. State 6:45 ESPN; 12:43 PM
dan dan the AU fan said...: Yes FSJ, Alabama would play for an MNC if they win out , not because they are "Alabama" but because other teams that had been ahead of them lost. If they lose one game and join the rest of the pack, they could be left out.; 12:45 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: Sorry, nobody noticed but you. This is like blog purgatory. You can say what the heck ever you want to say and hardly anybody will see it. I'm just waiting for Monica to find it.; 9:02 AM
JD said...: ha ha ha allright Eddie. I will let you slide. Mon needs to check it out..; 1:48 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Monica will never find it. I don't believes she goes backwards on the posts.; 2:17 PM
michael said...: so, you guys have been smoking behind the shed this whole time, eh? Despicable. Simply despicable!; 8:01 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Glad you joined the Gonga party Michael.; 12:05 PM
michael said...: Glad to be a part of it. I missed out on the real deal so it just feels good to be in on the aftermath I guess.; 4:47 PM
