Blind hogs occasionally find acorns ... I stand on the shoulders of those before me, such as you, Monica, Mr. S. and others. I only hope to be worthy one day of the honor.
Has that been our team slogan for the year? Gooooood night Ms. Agnes! That makes me want to say every curse word I have ever heard plus any that I could make up on the fly. Good grief Charlie Brown. That's pitiful.
live to punt is a great philosophy. if you think about it, there are always 11 tacklers on defense and 9 blockers (excluding the qb) on offense. statistically, every offensive play should fail. just punt and avoid the inevitable.
I'm absolutely with you. Having the game before T-Day reminds of me of family discussions of the game ... like in 2001, when I grabbed my nephew by the throat when he pointed out that we could still go to Atlanta if we beat LSU in the make up game.
i don't usually like the idea of having the week off before the iron bowl but i think that this year it is great. we obviously needed the extra practice and rest time.
maybe it's the fact that i'm nursing a titans-jets hangover this morning but i don't have a feeling of gloom & doom about this weekend's game. am i the only one?
1st time in 3 years that I am depressed about spending Thanksgiving in Tuscaloosa with the in-laws. Well...that may not be entirely true but I'm not looking forward to the high probability of watching the IB with my bama-loving father & grandfather in-law while the wife goes to a wedding.
Any suggestions on how I can save my marriage this weekend??
Feel for you AUBigcat. I actually wish I was going to the game. Due to financial reasons, I will be saving my money for my vacation in a couple of weeks.
OK. With all the punting talk. How is this possible. Robert Dunn, with all his running backwards, and fielding punts in the endzone over his shoulder, etc., etc., it is amazing that Dunn ranks ahead of the much heralded Javier Arenas in punt returning. Thru Nov 22 Dunn is ranked 4th in the NCAA, Arenas is 8th. Dunn's avg/return is 17.00 while Arenas's is 14.92.
Hey do we have a Malzahn sigthing? Watch out Jay, some od the HOTTIES think he doesn't have enough experience to coach at an SEC team.
BTW, I was thinking that Franklin would be better fitted, with his unshaved, shirt hanging out, ill fitting clothes self, for selling pine straw out of the back of hoop'd truck in my neighborhood in the coming weeks.
One minute ahead of schedule, too.
ReplyDeleteOn that note, I am OUT for the night.
ReplyDeleteSee you all tomorrow.
Another good vid, Jay. G. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's all Gran's fault. Glad that's settled.
Living on a Prayer, eh?
I look forward to the clean version of the new music. Heard a little harmonica action with a Blues Traveler feel.
Live to punt, Kodi. Punting wins games. Hooray for punting.
ReplyDeleteNice work ... Jay.
ReplyDeleteJet G. Ate.....lead post on the blog. you are as cool as a pack of Kool Menthols.

ReplyDeleteI guess we're done for the night.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle and God bless America.
Death to the Infidels and the Terrorists.
Dude,
ReplyDeleteI can't claim being a lead post on the HABTON. You are blowing up. Are you on the facebook group yet?
not yet.
ReplyDeletetalk to you tomorrow... rest well.
I knew Jet before he became Jet the Lead Quote Guy. Don't forget the little people who helped you along the way, man.
ReplyDeleteEnsminger and Gran ... what a collection of idiots. There's nothing sarcastic to say that will make any of that any better.
ReplyDelete"Live to punt."

excelent avatar mr. phred. war eagle!
ReplyDelete"Live to punt"
ReplyDeleteUnfortuntely Javier Arenas will be the recipients of said punts. Is it wrong to hope for a shank out of bounds?
So, when will the "Live To Punt" t-shirts be ready?
ReplyDeleteReverse psychology day:
ReplyDelete1. Don't play Mario.
Any other suggestions?
what happened to jerry's kids?
ReplyDeletejust heard Mr. Sensible on 740. good morning.
ReplyDeleteI second the motion for the "Live To Punt" T-shirts. That sounds like our offensive slogan the last two years.
ReplyDeleteI hear punters are knocking down our doors for a chance to sign here.
if you're hell-bent on the 'punt' shirts eddie i may be able to manafacture a few out the back of my saturn. i have peeps. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm all over the "Live to Punt" stuff. That's classic. How about a picture of all the coaches pointing at one another? That's appropriate.
ReplyDeleteLive to punt ... didn't realize how awkward that sounds.
ReplyDeletelive to punt is a great philosophy. if you think about it, there are always 11 tacklers on defense and 9 blockers (excluding the qb) on offense. statistically, every offensive play should fail. just punt and avoid the inevitable.
ReplyDeletepunt to live would be more accurate
ReplyDeleteAnyone else wish that the Iron bowl was this past weekend. I am not a big fan of the Iron Bowl being on Thanksgiving weekend.
ReplyDeleteEddie ...
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely with you. Having the game before T-Day reminds of me of family discussions of the game ... like in 2001, when I grabbed my nephew by the throat when he pointed out that we could still go to Atlanta if we beat LSU in the make up game.
Good times.
it's tough trying to fly in on the busiest air traffic day of the year. spread opened up at 14 points.
ReplyDeletei don't usually like the idea of having the week off before the iron bowl but i think that this year it is great. we obviously needed the extra practice and rest time.
ReplyDeleteFirst time in 13 years I'm happy I'll be in West Virginia for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeletemaybe it's the fact that i'm nursing a titans-jets hangover this morning but i don't have a feeling of gloom & doom about this weekend's game. am i the only one?
ReplyDeleteI am feeling a lot like Lloyd Christmas these days.

Fain illness.
ReplyDeleteSurprise her with a 3 day cruise.
Surprise her with a trip to (anywhere).
I'd love to help, but I don't handle my own in-laws situation well.
ReplyDeleteI'd just be gracious and hope for Gus Malzahn.
Feel for you AUBigcat. I actually wish I was going to the game. Due to financial reasons, I will be saving my money for my vacation in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteOrdinarily, I'd suggest the air tank special from No Country for Old Men, but Jay G. has the better advice.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Grace and Amazing Gus, how sweet the sound.
If that doesn't work, then the air tank.
OK. With all the punting talk. How is this possible. Robert Dunn, with all his running backwards, and fielding punts in the endzone over his shoulder, etc., etc., it is amazing that Dunn ranks ahead of the much heralded Javier Arenas in punt returning. Thru Nov 22 Dunn is ranked 4th in the NCAA, Arenas is 8th. Dunn's avg/return is 17.00 while Arenas's is 14.92.
ReplyDeleteThat's an average per return, right? How many has Arenas returned for points?
ReplyDeleteMarcellus,
ReplyDeleteAs my Spanish friend Pablo Cruise says:
Las statisticas es por chumpos.
Here's the question: which one do you want to return kicks for you?
Hey do we have a Malzahn sigthing? Watch out Jay, some od the HOTTIES think he doesn't have enough experience to coach at an SEC team.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I was thinking that Franklin would be better fitted, with his unshaved, shirt hanging out, ill fitting clothes self, for selling pine straw out of the back of hoop'd truck in my neighborhood in the coming weeks.
Arenas's approach is, Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead.
ReplyDeleteDUnn's approach is, Damn torpedos are coming.
We need Dunn to return to his fundamentals: run as if the cops are chasing him.
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm sorry. That was mean.
I wasn't trying to make the case that Dunn is a better punt returner. Just trying to show how catastrophically wacky this year has been for Auburn.
ReplyDeleteUnderstand ... not sure that you had to use the word "wacky."
ReplyDeleteThis year has been "catastrophically."
..and don't call me a chump.
ReplyDeleteMarcellas - I figured as much. I was just wondering if you happened to actually know how many points Arenas had on returns.
ReplyDeletea la bruce springsteen, "baby we were born to punt"
ReplyDeleteYou're no chump, M to 2nd power.
ReplyDeleteYou're a linebacker.
marcellus mostella...
ReplyDeleteFrom Gadsden High...
Dunn 1 TD, Arenas 2--but he got one down to the one or two the other week I think
ReplyDeleteNew thread up.
ReplyDeleteOh well thanks for the advice/non-advice guys. Monica I like the 'fain illness' idea. I'm seriously considering that one.
ReplyDeleteOn the OC front, I'm hearing the name Chuck Long come up. Former OC at OU and immediate past HC for SDSU. Any thoughts on that Jay?
