I LOVE these interviews you give us with the players for lots of reasons. Mostly because it reminds me that they are kids, they are working their asses off and nobody hates losing more than they do.
I like that Antoine Coleman.
Gosh, I hate this season for the Seniors and I hope whatever happens next year can be so much better for these student athletes.
I really liked the virus comment, simply because a virus does not have a magic cure. It just has to run its course. You may try to find a cure but one does not exist, so you must only treat the symptoms. We have treated the symptoms and now it is time to play football and turn the season around. War Eagle!!!
Walt McFadden seems to think we have turned a bit of a corner. Well, they'll need some confidence for our next game.
2 of the main things that worry me about Alabama
1. them running behind smith at goggans and stephens. We got to put some bulk over there, clayton, possibly move marks back over there.
2. McClain and Hightower blitzing. Our line has trouble with four man fronts, Saban's schemes = a tad more complex. Throw cody in there and I don't expect alot of rushing yards.
Virus is a very accurate way of describing what has occurred. Winning is an attitude and loosing certainly is too.
As for us being back, we might be back but we might not stay long unless we play the game of the season this last game.
Even though we have lost a few more, I do feel the offense has been coming around. A lot depends upon them being able to be creative enough on offense to move the ball against Bama. This should be interesting because Bama doesn't have the best defense we have played, although they are better than I had expected.
Seeker ... I operate under the presumption that we will struggle mightily against their defense.
Our chances, to me, hinge on our defense keeping the game close and providing opportunities for our offense.
Ron's keen eye is extra sharp today like New York cheddar ... we need Sarah Jessica Parker Wilson to wake up remember who he is. And we need Sen'Derrick and Antonio to be Big.
UGA is an unfocused team that made a lot of early mistakes and kept us in the game. Once we got our feet under us, we went toe to toe with UGA.
Bama is focused and much tuffer on the O & D lines. We will need to raise our execution 2 levels and need some excellent offensive game planning to win. The last half of that previous sentence is probably not be possible this year.
Making sure to get my post in before Ron kicks me off HABOTN island ... I keep listening to these guys, and the more I do, the more I think they should just say, "shut up coach", and coach themselves.
Their writer Pete Fuitak wrote a piece today that talked abou trivalry games and what it ment to teams like Pitt last year of Mich in 96 to knock their biggest rival out of the MNC race ----- craziest thing about that article was the scores of those games, and a few others were the same.
"pin action" goes along with is bowling pins being knocked down sound effect button and it usually means a big "score" - the email was from a guy who said he already looks like Cramer, but for Halloween he wore a long sleeve button down, rolled to above the elbow and a tie and he was instantly recognized as Jim Cramer. He said he was extra popular with all the ladies who love Jim Cramer and he thanked him for the "Pin Action."
jim cramer will be the next Auburn head coach. However, it is not what you think. He will be brought in next year to learn under Tubs and take over when Tubs retires. Smooth transition, everyone wins.
I'm not a player in the mrkt ---- yet ---- but with everything else in this economy, its about time to BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY.
About football - Is it a given now that S. Marks, whom I love and respect for being a class act and a great Aubrun young man -- will not go to the league next year?
I certainly wouldn't blame him if he did but what's his stock look like now - oh master -- J. Gilligan tate sir?
I know I'm getting old bvecause I listen to talk radio all the time now.
SO, here in B'ham they run Dave Ramsey on 960 am on a CONSTANT loop. Question: Is Cramer's show/ideas totally against what DR preaches?
Is it considered "speculating"? I work in the car business so I don't follow everything he says - "only buy a car you can pay cash for" -- but he's got some good, basic principles. How long Monica? HAve you taken a bath with this down turn?
And thansk for taking up for me that saturday when Gilligan was biased and being a facsist.
I totally support Dave Ramsey. Credit IS evil. (just look around) The only sorta acceptable credit is a mortgage. It's radical if you're under the age 60, but it's smart. If you've never read his book "Total Money Makeover" you should - even if you've heard all his shows. Been in the market in a mutual fund kind of way for 20 years and in an individual stock way for about 5 years. No, did not take a bath because we moved all of our money two months before the real drop started. (see, I'm not as dumb as I sound)
holy shizzel -- so, what made you take that action two months before the drop?
Oh and I work with a guy who tried to buy Heathsouth back when its dropped to a dime and he said his brocker refused him. Said he wouldn't buy it for him.
Cramer says if you have 30 dimes that's NOT part of your retirement then start out buying with 500.
Just reading everything I can find on world markets, oil market especially, Cramer, Buffet and the gang. I'm no financial wizard, but I'm smart enough to follow the wizards. lol
If I was an educated stock buyer I wouldn't use a broker. So either your friend trusts his brokers advice or he needs to get a new broker or become his own.
You can buy stock with no minimum amount at sharebuilder.com.
I did to. I used to spend a bunch of time on the rivals & scout sites' message boards and one of my handle was "Bill Brasky" --- Some of the Brasky lines were later swiped by the C. Norris crew.
There's a cool site with Brasky quotes - one of my favorites was the one about the vienamese kid in Corpus Cristi ......Brasky did 3 tours in 'Nam ya know.
One more thing, Chris. There were several economist predicting this crash of the credit system and subsequently the market up to two years ago. Keep watching Cramer and all those boring CNBC, Bloomberg shows. Focus on the ones that have as little political speak as possible. Read The Economist and there are several blogs. Once you start digging in you'll find there is lots of info (some seemingly obscure) that is powerful. OK, the end.

Playboy has a radio station? How does that make sense?
"In this picture, the girl is pretty much naked, but she has shoes on, so she is bending over to tie her shoe, and there is a stuffed teddy bear watching the whole thing unfold, and her favorite NFL team is the Jets, and ...
Of course, Roosevelt's old fireside chats might have been even more historic if they had that tone. Maybe we have been doing radio wrong all these years.
I LOVE these interviews you give us with the players for lots of reasons. Mostly because it reminds me that they are kids, they are working their asses off and nobody hates losing more than they do.

How about Walt saying it was a "virus?"
ReplyDeleteI thought that was very insightful and just dead on. They just have a way of making you feel it.

ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeleteWhy wasn't Lester playing last week?
I really liked the virus comment, simply because a virus does not have a magic cure. It just has to run its course. You may try to find a cure but one does not exist, so you must only treat the symptoms. We have treated the symptoms and now it is time to play football and turn the season around. War Eagle!!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will get innoculated prior to next season. Cute dog mrs.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will get innoculated before next week.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to turn the season around is to break their crimson hearts.
ReplyDeleteThanks seeker, that is our baby.
ReplyDeleteboston terrier?
ReplyDeletePuke on Bama.
ReplyDeleteJet = wordsmith ;-)
ReplyDeleteI imagine Fannin cares more about finishing the game than starting the game.
ReplyDeleteWalt McFadden seems to think we have turned a bit of a corner. Well, they'll need some confidence for our next game.

yes, Gracie
ReplyDeleteRon ...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right.
I'll add two more.
3. Covering the slot receiver.
4. Covering the tight ends.
I'll go to war with a healthy Jerraud and a virus free Walt. It gets sketchy after that.
The problem is going to be Kodi's lack of experience/ Ensminger's lack of talent vs. Saban's complicated defensive fronts.
ReplyDeleteCompletely off-topic question. Jay, what milestone do I have reach to be listed as a "Notable Newcomer"? :)
ReplyDeleteyeah nick walker could have quite a large day against us. For us to have a shot John Parker Wilson has to go back to his sucking days.
ReplyDeleteSteve, who's defense is better than bama's that we've played?
Seeker ... I operate under the presumption that we will struggle mightily against their defense.
ReplyDeleteOur chances, to me, hinge on our defense keeping the game close and providing opportunities for our offense.

A month or two of solid posting.
ReplyDeleteAnd everything that Ron, Jet and Seeker said......whew!
ReplyDeletejay, what about the people that quit posting do they get aborted from the lists?
ReplyDeleteHard to imagine us winning without them making some mistakes. We will need a little bit o luck.
ReplyDeletewe will need florida 2001 luck to win this one.
ReplyDeleteRon, I guess we could look at paring down the lists ... but we don't have very many people in that category.
ReplyDeleteJGT - for example, james is awol
ReplyDeleteGotcha -- thanks.
ReplyDeletei wasn't suggesting anything... just curious
ReplyDeleteMaking sure to get my post in before Ron kicks me off HABOTN island ... I keep listening to these guys, and the more I do, the more I think they should just say, "shut up coach", and coach themselves.
ReplyDeletejames has a lot on his plate.
ReplyDeletephred, i'm fairly certain you lead the HABOTN in all time posts, you're safe. With Crudup coming in second.
ReplyDeleted and james are homies.
ReplyDeleteSellin' out your boy!
COOL --------- Roland from Auburn AL --- a caller from Auburn was just on MAD MONEY with Cramer.
ReplyDeletessssssssssweeeeeeeet - I would have liked a big WAR EAGLE booooya!
????
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe he didn't do a big WAR EAGLE BOO-YAH!
ReplyDeleteAnyone else read college footbal news.com?
ReplyDeleteTheir writer Pete Fuitak wrote a piece today that talked abou trivalry games and what it ment to teams like Pitt last year of Mich in 96 to knock their biggest rival out of the MNC race ----- craziest thing about that article was the scores of those games, and a few others were the same.
96 Mich / Ohio St 13-9
07 Pitt / WVU 13-9
06 UCLA / USC 13-9
hmmmmm, odd.
Cramer said "I always wanted a call from Auburn. (took out the Alerbamer part). What a cool place."
ReplyDeleteThen gave some advice on Best Buy stock.
empathy - google it!
ReplyDeleteI love me some Jim Cramer.
He cracked me up reading the "Pin Action" email twice.
I'm fairly new to the show - what's "pin action" mean and to what email are you referring?
ReplyDelete"pin action" goes along with is bowling pins being knocked down sound effect button and it usually means a big "score" - the email was from a guy who said he already looks like Cramer, but for Halloween he wore a long sleeve button down, rolled to above the elbow and a tie and he was instantly recognized as Jim Cramer.

ReplyDeletejim cramer will be the next Auburn head coach. However, it is not what you think. He will be brought in next year to learn under Tubs and take over when Tubs retires. Smooth transition, everyone wins.
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for Coach Cramer. I think I'll send him an Auburn tie.
ReplyDeleteNice...

buy on fear, sell on greed
ReplyDeleteMonica, would Cramer wear an AU tie -- maybe next week with the Bammer game coming up?
ReplyDeleteAre you a PLAYA in the market M?
I am reminded of the conversation the Tracy Morgan SNL character "Woodrow" had with his accountant on the phone: "BUY! SELL! BUY SELL!"
ReplyDeleteI think he would. He'd be more likely to if it came from a student because he's SO loves that college kids dig his show. Yes, I am.
ReplyDeletebuy on fear, sell on greed? Sounds like Buffett.
ReplyDeleteI just don't know if it's Warren or Jimmy.
Jet knows.
ReplyDeleteAre you deversified?
ReplyDeleteI know I'm getting old bvecause I listen to talk radio all the time now.

ReplyDeleteAt 2:22 you can find Woodrow's advice. I don't know why I just wasted so much time finding that.
I totally support Dave Ramsey. Credit IS evil. (just look around) The only sorta acceptable credit is a mortgage. It's radical if you're under the age 60, but it's smart. If you've never read his book "Total Money Makeover" you should - even if you've heard all his shows.

:-)
but the drop happened because everyone moved their money. curse you money movers and your self-prophecy-fulfilling ways!
ReplyDeleteholy shizzel -- so, what made you take that action two months before the drop?
ReplyDeleteOh and I work with a guy who tried to buy Heathsouth back when its dropped to a dime and he said his brocker refused him. Said he wouldn't buy it for him.
Cramer says if you have 30 dimes that's NOT part of your retirement then start out buying with 500.
I'm saving up.
Dude......I googled "Tracy Morgan Woodrow" and AOL shot me one right back.
ReplyDeleteDoo Doo Pie?
yeah that one was easy to find, and it is the best. It was harder to find the one where he said "buy! sell! buy! sell!"
ReplyDeleteOk, since I got no answer from the high and mighty Gilligan, SNL it is:
ReplyDeleteBill Brasky is one of my favorites. I think they did that one three times -- Any time Alec Baldwin is host.
Will Ferrall is one guy I'll stop anmd watch if I see SNL on E! and he's on screen.
Just reading everything I can find on world markets, oil market especially, Cramer, Buffet and the gang. I'm no financial wizard, but I'm smart enough to follow the wizards. lol

Thanks so much - damn, it IS great to be an AUBURN TIGER.
ReplyDeletebill brasky was chuck norris before chuck norris was chuck norris. I thought of ole brasky when I first heard those jokes.
ReplyDeleteYES.
ReplyDeleteI did to. I used to spend a bunch of time on the rivals & scout sites' message boards and one of my handle was "Bill Brasky" --- Some of the Brasky lines were later swiped by the C. Norris crew.
There's a cool site with Brasky quotes - one of my favorites was the one about the vienamese kid in Corpus Cristi ......Brasky did 3 tours in 'Nam ya know.
If Kitty Wells had married Conway Twitty she would have been Kitty Twitty.

ReplyDeletelol@ Michael
You'll all be happy to know Greg is home!
Later
Monica,
ReplyDeleteNice new photo, looking good.
Jay
I can't believe AU is on Sirius!!
That is pretty cool. Did you say 198? I think Playboy is 199. Ha
Cool - I won't hold you responsible.
ReplyDeleteIts like people asking me about games and who I like ATS. They must know, the best handicapper is right 60-65% of the time.
About Bill Brasky:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Brasky
Michael, if Phillips Arena wasn't already named the Highlight Factory, I would give you that nickname.
ReplyDeletePlayboy has a radio station? How does that make sense?
ReplyDelete"In this picture, the girl is pretty much naked, but she has shoes on, so she is bending over to tie her shoe, and there is a stuffed teddy bear watching the whole thing unfold, and her favorite NFL team is the Jets, and ...
Of course, Roosevelt's old fireside chats might have been even more historic if they had that tone. Maybe we have been doing radio wrong all these years.
ReplyDeleteMichael- Playboy radio is totally over-rated. Girls definitely like it better than guys.
ReplyDeleteThe Bill Brasky stories relate to every day life -- see:
ReplyDeletePlayboy radio --- "Brasky hates Mexicans...and he's half mexican.....he hates irony."
see.
Like Tzu Sun's Art of War ---- bityatces
anyone else notice that boz shaved his beard?
ReplyDeletei was so out of the loop on the HABOTN group on facebook i finally requested to join. =)
ReplyDeleteBoz apparently was not a fan of the "meerkat" stuff either.
ReplyDeleteWith any luck, the meerkat colony will not resurface.
