Hey everyone. We're going to hold a Holiday Campfire today at 2 p.m.Topics will include Gene Chizik, Judy Garland, Stacy Searels, Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran, Thomas H. Tuberville, FSJ's fear of tattoo pain and other scintillating topics.
For the uninitiated: A chat window will appear here at 2 and we'll chat.
Have a joyous late morning and early afternoon.
maybe it's the wet blanket, eyor side of me, but my problem with tats is that they probably won't be as fetching when your 70 years old. heck, they may not even be in the same place! i've seen lots of old sailors in a hospital setting...
ReplyDeletemeant to say "you're", mon.
ReplyDeleteThat's my fear too Scott, sagging skin!
ReplyDeletelol, kathy.
ReplyDeleteNew here whats campfire?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I've got to finish my Christmas shopping as soon as my youngest decides to wake up, so I will probably miss the campfire. Probably just as well. They are rough on my vertigo!
ReplyDeleteGuruwill, campfire is a live chat on Chatroll. A link will be up at 2 when they fire it up. Welcome!
ReplyDeleteTargets at 70. I think that's all I want to say about that
ReplyDeleteLet's have Smores! FSJ will be the weenie!
ReplyDeleteLOL Tommy
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Guru.
A campfire is a live chat where everyone types as quickly as possible so I can't keep up.
ReplyDeleteJudy Garland is campfirelicious!
ReplyDelete(Luv, Jet called Faker a weenie! I'm trying really hard here...)
Peter will have to be closely monitored near the fire.
I don't care what mine look like when I'm old.
ReplyDeleteyeah Mon, sometimes its just a little to easy to abuse, isn't it?!?
ReplyDeleteI would get a tattoo, but I can't think of anything I wouldn't get tired of. Besides, those furry gray haired dolphins might not be so good in 30 years or so.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Monica. I know, I know, sometimes you just can't help yourself!
ReplyDeleteAfter getting a tattoo that had the word "Boom" in blue over an orange colored heart a few weeks ago, I've decided no more ink for a while.
ReplyDeleteChizzle still doesn't trust me.
I see on Auburn Undercover where Whitt Sr expects Chizik to have his staff in place by Jan. 5th. That says, to me, that he is waiting on bowl games to get over. It also makes me wonder if he is going after an OC from one of the teams in the later bowls, maybe even Oklahoma. This should be interesting.
ReplyDelete75% of the older people with Tat's I've asked said if they had it to do over again - they wouldn't. That was enough for me.
ReplyDeleteSteve ... NFL regular season will be done by then, as well.
ReplyDeletethe last time i Mentioned 'Judy Garland' on a campfire i got blitzed? what gives?
ReplyDeletei'll try to be here for da fire if my freakin' inventory doesn't get in the way. i have to be very, very sneaky!
my wife talks about getting a tat all the time but she's all talk, no action.
ReplyDeleteI'm not into pain pain....Sweet pain yes.... :-)
ReplyDeleteOld people shouldnt be showing off tats anyway.
ReplyDeleteNo idea, Scottie, but I'm super excited about it. Perhaps we will be singing show tunes!
ReplyDeletePeter's tat = SUPAH FREAK
Jet = lol @ boom tat
Tommy - too, too, too easy ;-)
Luv - I'm a weak woman. You'll have forgive me when I give in to temptation.
Faker = Define sweet pain for us.
ReplyDeleteHey Scott in Tusc, once flesh reaches 70, it is typically not as fetching as it used to be....tattoed or not.
ReplyDeleteI think Joe Whitt Sr. was at the b-ball game last night. He was sitting on the 2nd level in the corner over by where Jay and the other writers set up shop.
Hopefully I will be on the road to Alabama during the campfire. I am going to be out of town for a week over the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI am working on converting my tat too "Boom Chizzle Chizzle."
ReplyDeleteWho am I kidding? I have no tat ... other than the reverse Riddell still imprinted in my chin from not watching for the crackback block often enough in practices and in games.
LOL Monica....
ReplyDeleteNot going there...
Yeah Jay, I dont think you convinced hubby last night to get a tat. Nice try tho ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really have a hard time believing that FSJ is from the dark side. He sure does spend a lot of time on HABOTN and he knows a lot about the hx of AU football.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, luv, he's from the dark side.
ReplyDeleteI have three and plan on getting two more. I always liked Keltic art and Christian art. My mom tells me I am only two short of being a carnival worker so I need to make her proud.........
ReplyDeleteKristina - Monica did tell me awhile back that he put the "bam" in bamzo.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned this awhile ago, but I still plan on getting a tattoo of a mole on top of my mole. I'm gonna ease in gently to this whole tattoo thing.
ReplyDeleteLoook HOTTIES is our Christmas Campfire party at 2pm... we will have one every year to celebrate the goodness of the HABOTN!
ReplyDeleteBYOB... that means everybody brings something to the party no
F.L.!!!!!!
F.L.??
ReplyDeleteok Hotties I am going to have my special EGGNOGG at the Campfire.... bring your cups cuz i'm not pouring it into your hands.... don't want to spill any....
ReplyDeleteSteveFC I thought the same when I saw that on AU undercover..maybe Gundy OK's running back coach..but you would think they would get the coordinators first?
ReplyDeletemrtommyd,
ReplyDeleteFree Loaders!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhh, the first letter for whatever reason was expletivising itself, in my mind. Tells you where my head is today.
ReplyDeleteI'm a football junkie luv...
ReplyDeleteI probably know more about Auburn and Tennessee than any other team besides Alabama..
Hey Monica,
ReplyDeleteSoooooooo are you gonna wear the costumeto the Campfire today?
Jet and I are really the only ones that get it!
Besides....HABOTN is addictive...
ReplyDeleteMrs. FSJ accuses me of thinking about HABOTN at "all" times...
Not sure I would go that far....
Faker thats scarey!!!! ALL THE TIME....WHEW~
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about bringing some firefly with me to the fire. Not a huge eggnog guy myself.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Merry Christmas to all of you! I can't wait to get back South tomorrow, since I'm buried in a foot of snow and -5 wind chill temps.
AUnMobile,
ReplyDeleteI am a multi-tasker....
;-)
Faker you the man....
ReplyDeleteI'll try to make the fire..we are short handed here so I am alot more busy these days but I'll try to stop in.
ReplyDeleteI never said I hat tatoos, just that pain is the reason for tattoos for some. gosh. my reputation proceeda my comments....
ReplyDeleteanyway, I was wondering if we could add Harper Lee to the list of topics...keep goin back agin and agin and agin.
I will be on the road when the Campfire starts, but you kids have fun talking about Judy G and Duran Duran....Something else for you to chat about....Scouts Inc is now saying Raymond Cotton is looking at Southern Miss and Troy above Auburn....Merry Christmas Everyone and War Eagle
ReplyDelete"Scouts Inc is now saying Raymond Cotton is looking at Southern Miss and Troy above Auburn"
ReplyDeleteI admit, I know very littled about recruiting, but for all the hype some are giving this kid, if his other options are Troy and Southern Miss, is he really a major priority in our class?
WarEagleRK, Southern Miss and Troy are both bowl teams.
ReplyDeleteouch
ReplyDeleteLet Cotton go and go with Moseley I say. Moseley is a winner with 5 int's instead of 14 for Cotton.
ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeleteEvan W. reported that it's uncertain if the internet legend Raven Gray will return next year. Do you know anything on this?

ReplyDeleteI may need some educatin'. Is there such a thing as too many young qb's? I mean we have 3 sitting and waiting now don't we?
ReplyDeleteI want a Texas HS QB. Cotton is nice and all, but he's no Texan.
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteOn the bowl game the other day they credited Southern Miss' best win of the season over Lousiana Lafayette.
Around 60 teams made bowls, that doesn't mean I want Auburn in competition with them for talent.
I mean, I guess we can move to Troy or Southern Miss' conference so we are competing for players at the same level and for the same bowl games if we want.
I want to win players in a battle with Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Florida. That's just me.
You know Steve that last comment you made DID sting a bit.
ReplyDeleteIf we played Southern Miss or Troy's schedule we would be in a bowl game too.
ReplyDeleteSeriously almost any team that's 6-6 gets in one.
Vandy got in a bowl from the SEC, that doesn't mean I want to trade talent with them...or even be in competition for the same players they can get.
I am "friends" with Kenny Irons on facebook, and his status is, "Kenny Irons is 5 more days till I'm poppin bottles on the beach to bring in the new year and a new team."
ReplyDeleteAnyone know his injury status? Will he actually get on a new team? And why is he going to the beach in December?
Faker is frontin'.
ReplyDeleteHe has latent Aubie tendencies. He is unable to reconcile his innate sense of what is good and right in the world (Auburn) with the evil his family of origin thrust upon him as a child (bama). Camping out on the HABOTN eases the anxiety created by the shame he feels over his Auburn desires.
There is only one path to recovery and it begins with a click of the heels and whispering, "War Eagle..."
I watched some of Troy's offense. It amazed me. I was like, hmmm, that is what we were trying to do. Both Troy and Southern Miss are good football teams, but definitely not SEC level, although either is capable of occasionally knocking off an SEC opponent. Southern Miss has a history of doing that and Troy has been tough in recent years.
ReplyDeleteFaker, repeat after me, "War Eagle"!!! Just keep repeating that.
ReplyDeleteAnd the whole blog begins to repeat with SteveFC "War Eagle, War Eagle, War Eagle"
ReplyDeleteAgreed Mon and Steve...
ReplyDeleteI think i shal play the Jedi Mind trick on him
"these are not the droids you are looking for....War Eagle....War Eagle"

ReplyDeleteRemeber HOTTIES
ReplyDeletethe Force is strong with Faker!!!!!
We must join together....
We will bring him the the Good Side... show him the light....
Mon thats 2 CDT.....
ReplyDeleteNew Avitar, oh no you didn't!!!!
Wow, Monica. Like the subtlety.
ReplyDeletei think the Catwoman fits you better there Monnie. much love gal.
ReplyDeleteand i am loving this new Google browser. thanks PF. rockstar!
mrtommyd,
ReplyDeleteshow him the cool decoder ring he gets when he hoins the Just-US league!
Michael, I was watching something on ESPN today and they were discussin the 7 RBs (soon to be 8) that Denver has gone through this season due to injuries. I couldn't help but think that a guy like KI would fit in there somewhere. I mean he's no Peyton Hillis (<--sarcasm), but you'd think they'd take a look at him.
ReplyDeleteTwo things I wouldn't put together...
ReplyDeleteMon and subtlety...
Hey, AUnMobile ...
ReplyDeleteIt's time to forget Hanukkah
Toss away your harmonica
Ditch that witch Veronica
And bow before Queen Monica.
According to someone else possible canidates for DC: Garner, Reggie Herring, Ted Roof
ReplyDeleteCanidates for OC: Patrick Nix, Mitch Browning, Greg Davis, Trooper Taylor and Ron Prince.
All Hail the Queen!
ReplyDeleteJet we are mear mortals... and cannot resist the look, smell adn touch of LEATHER!!!!!
Other candidates ...
ReplyDeleteOC ... AUnMobile (philosophy: smash mouth and throw it deep)
DC ... Jet (philosophy: if he were Santa Claus, all the reindeer would be Blitzen)
Browning, Davis, Taylor?
ReplyDeleteGuru,
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get infor from?
We havn't heard squat, diddley, nadda, nothing, etc. get my drift?
I feel sooooooooooooo uninformed with no news...
Hey GURU-ME,
ReplyDeleteI saw that too. I am intrigued by a few of those names, but a few of them make me nervous. Herring would be interesting, I would not mind seeing that. Wasn't Roof the guy at Duke that they ran off? Prince is an interesting mention, and I always liked Trooper Taylor at Tenn.
Not so sure about those three, guru ...
ReplyDeleteStrong denials from Texas regarding davis.
Trooper Taylor, while a graduate of the Muschamp College of Sideline Demeanor, would be an excellent staff member, but I don't know if he's coordinated before. If he is at OK State, he's really not, because Gundy is.
Browning didn't exactly set the woods afire at Syracuse this year.
Hey Mon
ReplyDeleteare you gonna wear the Cat Woman outfit to the Campfire Christmas Party today?
Mmmmmm I love the smell of rich Corinthian Leather (Ricardo Montebon voice there)
I feel like I'm intruding on something naughty...maybe I should leave...
ReplyDeleteJet
ReplyDeleteI like the OC description... you know me well... hit them in the mouth the go over the top...
Kristina,
ReplyDeleteYou coming to the Campfire...BYOB!!! nothing naughty...just good christmas cheer
Mahhhhhhhhhhhhhn!!!! (Ricardo Montebon voice there)
ReplyDeleteI tried doing Mon out like that but it looked like moon.
AUnMobile ...
ReplyDeleteMy philosophy ... 6 in the box, 7 in the box, 8 in the box?
No, the opposing team's QB in a pine box.
CBs play 5 yards off the WR, 7 off the WR? ... Nope ... CBs will line up the width of that invisible stripe for the line of scrimmage off the WR.
Soft is for pillows.
mrtommyd,
ReplyDeletethat was a good one!
Kristina... we all play good in here...
Jet...so what you wearing to the Christmas Campfire?
JET,
ReplyDelete0 coverage guy... Muschamp desciple!!!
All or Broke!!!!
Damn you are the man... i like it!
Thanks AU
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the team will have an attitude Jet
You can usually find Jet in Jos. A. Bank blazer/slacks or suit.
ReplyDeleteToday, navy blazer, Ralph Lauren dark blue and green button down, dark brown cordouroy slacks and loafers.
But for the campfire, an Auburn Santa hat, a blue T-shirt that says "Guns Don't Kill People, Eltoro Kills People" and AU gym shorts.
And I'll be using FSJ's tibia as a stick to roast marshmellows.
What's wrong with the beach in December. I've been this month, and didn't see a problem, considering it was 80+ degrees out and sunny. Sounds like beach weather to me.
ReplyDeleteJet,
ReplyDeleteI decided to change my Avitar to better suit my name in honor of the Christmas spirit!!!!
My favorite coaching story regarding Spence McCracken and an unnamed former assistant before a critical game back in the 1980s.
ReplyDeleteUnnamed coach: "Spence, we're going after the punter the first time they punt it."
Spence: "So the films says we got a chance to block it."
Unnamed coach: "No, not a chance. I said we're going after the punter, not the punch. We think it might affect him the rest of the night."
Spence: "Oh."
Unnamed coach will be my special teams advisor.
avitar = avatar?
ReplyDeleteJet,
ReplyDeleteAfter much consideration adn a lengthy interview process....i decided to come to the Campfire Christmas as
HEAT MISER!!!!!
How you like me now!!!!
Sorry Peter
ReplyDeleteyes Avitar=Avatar
May I have your attention, please.
ReplyDeleteThe HABOTN Official Stadium Time is 1:40 ... 20 minutes before the kickoff of today's Campfire.
Pregame festivities will begin at 1:50.
He's Mr. White Christmas ...
ReplyDeleteHEAT MISER.
I'm not sure how much im allowed to say without Jay throwing me off but info comes from Deinhart(?).
ReplyDeleteTrooper Taylor Co OC Okl St.: Fantastic recruiter, coached WR at Tennessee and RB's at OSU, never called plays.
Greg Davis: Not sure if there is any intrest but rumors he was not happy being by passed by Boom. IMO He would be the best choice if possible.
Ron Prince: Smashmouth offensive coach like Chizik wants. Hes young 39.
Ted Roof: Done a fantastic job turning around Minn's Defense this season has experiance as Grad Asst. at Bama and as DC at GT and Duke.

ReplyDeleteDienhart? He goes on F-Bomb, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteIf Davis is available, you grab him, the rest? Not so much.
I don't mind Trooper coming in a similar capacity, but I'm not asking for a first-time playcaller to be our OC.
Now back to your regularly scheduled hijinx ...
Now I'm ready for the campfire
ReplyDeleteYou know that it would be untrue
ReplyDeleteYou know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Thanks Guru....
ReplyDeleteJet... thanks for the official time update....
Now where did i put my pitch fork.... and my Crown Royal...hummmm
Don't forget to bring a freakn CUP!!! noone, and i mean noone drinks from the bottle!!!
Tom bringing the graphic skills.
ReplyDeleteNice Jet......
ReplyDeleteWe will be singing that prior to the start of the Partay!!!!
And they said all that messing around in photoshop wouldn't amount to anything
ReplyDeleteI'd say Raven Gray's status is mighty uncertain.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he's the same guy now. Some knee injuries don't respond well. See Mack McGadney for additional information.
Quoth the Raven no more?
ReplyDeleteI'll be in the campfire before it hits the blog.
ReplyDeleteWe'll call that the pre-party.
hey, now, huh-huh
ReplyDeletehey, hey,hey,no, (ow,now)
hey, now, huh-huh
hey, hey, hey, no
