Here is his latest dispatch:
AUBURN _ About 100 Auburn University students demonstrated Tuesday in front of the mansion of President Jay Gogue in support of former football coach Tommy Tuberville.
The students marched several blocks from the AU student center, yelling fight songs and criticizing several Auburn executives including trustee Bobby Lowder of Montgomery.
Outside the president's mansion, one of the students called athletic director Jay Jacobs a "puppet" of Lowder, one of the university's most influential trustees.
--Alvin Benn

ReplyDeleteJust voted for the Heisman.
ReplyDeleteThey asked that I keep my vote "confidential," so I'll respect that until Saturday.
A guy from Oregon monitors votes privately at StiffArmTrophy.com
...not that I'd ever submit my information to him ahead of time, of course.
Jay:
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that Chris Todd appreciates your vote.
I thought he was very deserving.
ReplyDeleteTEBOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere do they think this is Haight-Asbury in San Francisco? I heard that Country Joe and the Fish were going to be playing later along with Peter Paul and Mary.
ReplyDeleteI saw Gracie Slick over there at the paraphernalia tent.
ReplyDeleteJay is a straight-laced journalist. kind of like my uncle a captain in opelika p.d., but never gets me out of speeding tickets
ReplyDeleteThis hippies wouldn't have so much time on their hands to protest if they would just get a darn job.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the paraphernalia tent is just a quick stop off for Grace Slick between enjoying her time with every possible male in attendance at the protest.
ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeletewho did you vote for last year?
Could we drop the topless female hottie protest crap?
ReplyDeleteIn a word...Nope

ReplyDeletehttp://warblogle.com/ said in 3 minutes Turner Gill will be announced as Auburn’s next Head Football Coach.
ReplyDeleteSo you think it's ok for y'all to talk like this about the many, many females who read this blog? You think this is cute?
ReplyDeleteabsolutely not, i just asked a question.
ReplyDeleteI have never even heard of that webpage.
ReplyDeleteRK, its an internet inside source....it has to be true...right?
ReplyDeleteuh-oh i'm gettin nervous as to what Mon is gonna do to y'all
ReplyDeleteit says it's a "source of a source". even more probability of it being true
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMonica, you joke around all the time with the guys. I'm sur ethey arent trying to offend you. It's just a joke.
ReplyDeleteThis once great place has turned into the same stuff that ruins all message boards/online fan interaction places.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't take a lot to go for the lowest common denominator.
Good point Sean, what was I thinking?
ReplyDeleteThat's weak, Faker. If you genuinely think that's either an excuse or the same thing you're not very bright.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm in the dark, what is GKG?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing. gkg?
ReplyDeleteKristina - I do find it offensive. I found it offense when Steve first posted it. I find it offensive the Faker keeps it going. If I have to explain to you why it is offensive there's not point in trying.
ReplyDeleteSomebody help out the slow kid. What is GKG?
ReplyDeleteIt's been a few minutes, so it's safe to start typing CTG for our head coach, right? ;)
Was Bo Megginson fired as the host of Auburn Undercover radio, or is the guy on there now just there for this week?
ReplyDeleteharsh words there sensible... care to elaborate?
ReplyDeleteweagle, I'm still waiting on that...although never doubt the source of a source.
ReplyDeleteRon,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he's aiming them at me, and that is fine.
Never mind, Megginson is just late today.
ReplyDeleteI thought the show might have improved since I last listened.
Actually, I wasn't singling anyone out in particular, FSJ. Just the discussion.
ReplyDeleteSorry to see you are taking this personally.
i guess we'll never know what gkg is RK
ReplyDeleteMr. Sensible, surely it goes further than that, besides right now there's not much to discuss. Still waiting on an announcement and who knows when that will occur. According to one person its already about 15 min late.
ReplyDeleteYikes, things are getting hairy in here. Sensible is saying the Hotties have gone all AL.com (though he will probably banhammerbate the post as he often does to his most controversial thoughts), and the Sexual Harrassment Panda is about to have to be called in to settle this whole protest business
ReplyDeleteBoy. This is Days of our Lives stuff goin on up in here.
jgt, checked out your "stiff arm" link. it appears to be, per that site, shaping up to be a regional heisman vote.
ReplyDeleteIt's at this point where, I, Jet, self-appointed Athletic Director in Waiting, tell everyone to calm down, clean up their act, don't offend the female Hotties, and most importantly, ask everyone to join me on the BOOM Train to Buttkickvegas.
ReplyDeleteYES! The sexual harrassment panda!
ReplyDeletethe protest made it on ESPN.com... wow
ReplyDeleteHarrison,
ReplyDeleteI guess we could make something up that GKG stands for.
It must be something almost dirty or risque.
ReplyDeleteWow. I could get 70 people to protest low-fat pudding. How is this newsworthy on a national scale?
ReplyDeleteGirl Kissing Girl you goobers!
ReplyDeleteGKG stands for Grimace Killed Giraffes. It was a book about the McDonald's character's previous career as a poacher in Africa.
ReplyDeletewhy is it that we always look foolish when we are on the national media?
ReplyDeletemichael, I KNEW IT!
ReplyDelete70 protesters at of 23,000 some odd students makes us look bad nationwide
ReplyDeleteout of***
ReplyDeleteAnyone see a CTG announcement yet, still waiting here? Monica thanks for clearing up the confusion, I have removed my comment referencing the acronymn. As far as national media is concerned, what fun is to cover positive news about a school when there's so much controversial material around...I mean seriously? I think it gets old as well.
ReplyDeletewhew, thanks mon. it was eating me uo inside.
ReplyDeleteI think it makes us look good. Only 70 out of the whole school think it's all a conspiracy? It would look bad to the nation and recruits if 15,000 people came out and chanted. But 70? That's nothing.
ReplyDeleteno problem :-)
ReplyDeleteI guess it is the same thing with a tornado, that is the media only interviews the crazy ones.
ReplyDeletePotential next head coach was on Letterman:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fannation.com/si_blogs/for_the_record/posts/30601-ball-state-coach-brady-hoke-presents-top-ten-on-letterman?eref=fromSI
Thanks, Michael.
ReplyDeletei was interviewed after a tornado in Gadsden once. It didn't make the news, guess my grammer was pretty solid
ReplyDeleteThe size of the demonstration was severely curtailed when organizers required all protesters to show a student ticket stub from the UT-Martin game in order to participate.
ReplyDeleteI, shesaid, one representative of the female HOTTIES, hereby avow that I am not offended by anyone's comments about the protest. In fact, I think there should be more such acts of civil disobedience.....just not about the firing/resignation of a FOOTBALL COACH!!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone must be commuting. At least I hope because the chatter has died down.
ReplyDeleteI'm still here, I'm just burning some CD's for my trip to Asheville.
ReplyDeleteDid ESPN cover the drunken slob of a woman that hugged saint nicky at his bama introduction and then got a DUI on her way home?
ReplyDeleteThat's the first I've heard of that. Is there is a YouTube of that?
ReplyDeleteI got nervous that everyone was boycotting the HABOTN because I made a rare appearance on here.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you the black sheep of the bunch?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there is Sean, although I am not computer savy enough to post a link. When it first happened a buddy of mine e-mailed me the video of her reaching out and slobbering all over him. It was pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeletethat lady is hilarious.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD1Gxrl4tLs&feature=related
ReplyDeleteHere it is. Epic.
Aaaannnnddd You're welcome again.
ReplyDeleteshesaid is the woMAN!
ReplyDeleteI almost wish that lady was like my aunt that came around only like once a year
ReplyDeleteAre there Auburn fans like her? That's my worst nightmare.
ReplyDeleteFYI...Comebacks is on HBO right now.
ReplyDeleteApparently, this thing isn't going to be over soon. There's talk of more interviews to come after new york. It seems as if this will go on for at least another week.
ReplyDeletegreat video. was that a $100 in saban's hands?
ReplyDeletecomebacks is hilarious...i think it won an oscar. for best movie ever made
ReplyDeleteu watching it?
ReplyDelete"more talks after ny" = on campus interview for "the chosen one"?
ReplyDeleteYeah Harrison, I'm watching it for the first time. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteSNAP! Singing Journey in the locker room.
ReplyDeleteWhat is really terrible about the protest is the fliers that they put up around campus. It was fine, until it read : WHERE ALL ORANGE at the bottom of the page. I'm sorry, I refuse to follow someone who does not understand basic grammar.
ReplyDeleteI tried to tell you it was awesome, and you poo-pooed it.
ReplyDeletedid you follow george w. bush?
ReplyDeleteHarrison, I never poo-poohed it. That was Joe. He's a movie snob. Dude knows every movie that was ever made. I love a ridiculous movie that is hilarious. I watch Talladega Nights at least 3 times a month.
ReplyDeleteoh my bad. Since I only know you guys by e-mail it's hard to remember who said what. well tell joe how awesome it is
ReplyDeleteYou're forgiven. Hanging out with Jason and Will makes you good people in my book.
ReplyDeleteAuburnUnderCover is saying Fisher is out, Nutt is out, Johnson is happy where he is at. He is now reporting that Spurrier's name is gaining speed . They are saying that Gill has fallen down the list due to the lack of SE recruiting knowledge.
ReplyDeleteyeah. thanks. i'm okay
ReplyDeleteI think Collette was covered pretty thoroughly back in the day. She was just too good to pass up.
ReplyDelete"Woooo!! We bowlin' baby!"
I'm not sure how far ESPN went with it though.
For the most part PMarsh toes the company line, so I'm not sure what to believe.
ReplyDeletei think she said "we ballin' baby". that's what the hip kids would say
ReplyDeleteSpurrier vs Saban in recruiting? Don't like that matchup. As great as Spurrier has been, that would be a short-sighted move IMO.
ReplyDeleteSpurrier has always been hands off in recruiting.
ReplyDeleteHe let Florida recruit itself.
SheSaid rocks. I mean,,,,SheSaid is quite the young lady.
ReplyDeleteLooking over at Goldbergs blog, he mentions that they are looking at about 6 guys and that there are more interviews to come. He also made note that they were looking to someone with SEC connections. And it seems like he is saying head coaches are a priority. Which leads me to believe that all of the names we heard are exactly what Jay has suggested they are, smoke. I would almost bet Gill is out.
ReplyDeleteSad news, I was really hoping for Turner Gill. This new information makes me worry that much more that JJ is going to screw this up.
ReplyDeleteButch Davis is recovering from a successful battle with Lymphoma. Did not know that until today. I'm thinking that would greatly decrease his desire to be somewhere new.
ReplyDeleteI think the goal is to get so many names out there, cause so much confusion and give so many people the run around that when they finally name someone they will be accepted by everyone just due to the headache being over.
ReplyDeleteWhether you believe it or not Turner gillhas had a face to face interview and a phone interview but he will not be offered the job. My source and it is a unknown and will stay unknown until Will Mushamp is offered the Auburn job in the next 3 to 4 days and will be accepted. TAKE MY WORD ON IT!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denny. Means a lot coming from a b-ball legend like yourself.
ReplyDeleteTrent, what did you just say?
ReplyDeleteDon't dare question me about my source, but take it to the bank....hmmmm...FIre for effect, Smoke, over.
ReplyDeleteTurner Gill will not be offered the Auburn job even after a face to face interview and a phone interview. Will Muschamp will be named Auburn's new Head Coack w/ in 3 to 4 days. TAKE THAT TO THE BANK
ReplyDeleteDooley has confirmed auburn contact. I'll update when I get home.
ReplyDeleteBOOM!
ReplyDeleteTrent I hope you are right.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you and WTC have same source. He has said same thing for a while now.
Hey,ESPN.com's Tim Keown mentioned Olive Tuberville in his column today.
ReplyDeleteI'm through with this mess. It's just nauseating. If Muschamp becomes our HC I will denounce my allegiance to AU. We better get a damn good OC because I know our opponents will be scoring lots of points. Don't believe me? Check the stats.
ReplyDeleteTrent why 3 or 4 days.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMuskrat cost his team a chance at the MNC
ReplyDeleteTrent, the longer this goes the more I am starting to believe what you are saying. As much as the media says there is no way Muschamp leaves Texas, I don't know of anything he himself has said publicly about the Auburn job. I have read how happy he and his family are in Austin, but I don't think the quote was made in the context of Auburn's coaching search. Of all the candidates, I think he is the only one that hasn't said anything about the job publicly.
ReplyDeleteas far as will Muschamp goes, I'll believe he's "out" only after someone else takes the job.
ReplyDeleteIf he is IN does that means JJ is out?
ReplyDeleteTrent= Jay Jacobs.
ReplyDeleteHis unnamed source= Bobby Lowder
I'm with you Jay. It is kinda curious how of all the candidates, CWM is the only one that hasn't said anything about it (that I'm aware of).
ReplyDeleteI do feel your pain P-Funk, although I'm not sure I feel quite so strongly about it. I wouldn't be that disappointed by hiring CWM, especially if getting him meant JJ was replaced by Tubbs.
ReplyDeleteMaybe CWM is silent because there's just nothing to say.
ReplyDeleteTrent/Jay Jacobs,
ReplyDeleteWe have figured you out. This is a classic case of hiding in plain site. Your unnamed source(bobby lowder) is using the HABOTN to sound out his choices. The HABOTN is obviously contains the brightest minds on the internet. Plus, you have a College Basketball HOF member like myself to offer advice, like you need any. Jay Jacobs,,,,I mean Trent...you...a...GENIUS, not the boob and stooge that those hippie student think you are.
pmarsh also said derek Dooley wasn't part of this. He also said Paul rhoads "isn't a candidate and hasn't been" ... Right before auburn hired him last year. Just keeping it straight.
ReplyDeleteJay, interesting you would say that about Muschamp. P Marshall ,who I know you trust, said on Sportscall yesterday that Muschamp was not and had not been a candidate for the AU job. He said this came from as good a source as there was on the matter. I don't doubt you, but PM seemed very confident in what he said. Any thoughts?
ReplyDeletecould be statguy, but I'm sure the Texans are burning up the airwaves much like we were when the rumors were swirling about him heading their way.
ReplyDeleteTrent likes Coldplay...a lot. Coldplay lovers =/= credible football sources.
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect to Pmarsh, his inside Auburn source is now trying to figure out how he's gonna spend 5.1 million.
ReplyDeleteWhat I take from this, and what others might should take from it, is that no one knows anything
ReplyDeleteMuschamp not the only one not saying anything, what has butch davis or chris peterson said about auburn job.
ReplyDeleteI realy like Turner Gill also some one is going to get winner there if we don't get Muschamp or Davis I hope it is GILL.
MUSCHAMP 09
Kris...ooooh, BURN!
ReplyDeleteright you are Harrison and "I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm kind of a big deal...people know me. I have many leather bound books and my appartment smells of rich mohagony"...figured you'd appreciate that given your avatar.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate anything Mr.Burgundy has to say. Hardest hitting reporter I've ever seen
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of a big deal
ReplyDeleteSeen that on a t-shirt once Kris, very funny.
I was on the Gill bandwagon for a little while until I came to the realization that we don't really have time to hire a coach that will need a map to find Mobile.
ReplyDeleteyes...when in Rome...
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd build something to look at on 65 between Mont. and Mobile. It would make that drive way less crappy.
ReplyDeleteI am not trying to turn this into Jay vs PM. This is my first site to check AU news, as I find Jay more even in his coverage, no offense toward PM. I just thought PM implied that he had spoken to Muschamp himself, or someone very close to him.
ReplyDeleteHarrison, what is the origin of the words "San Diego"?
ReplyDeleteEverybody has been wrong and everybody's feelings/leanings have changed over the course of the season and search. I won't believe it is who it is until I see the press conference.
ReplyDeleteI like PMarsh's writing a lot, but he eats what he's fed and doesn't seem to go too far outside what he's told by Auburn.
ReplyDeleteHarrison, when I find that myself growing tired of the highway scenery, I turn on my trusty smartphone and hang out with the Hotties....Then again, I feel my obligation is to the HABOTN first, highway safety second.
ReplyDeleteMonica I have complete faith in Kris and WTC.
ReplyDeleteThey seem very committed to Muschamp. Just hope he doesn't change his mind in the next 3 or 4 days because then I will never believe a word they say.
And this is on how many hours of sleep, Peter?
ReplyDeletePeter, you must have been the guy I flipped off the other day...haha j/k but seriously, were you?
ReplyDeleteLuckily I don't have to drive that way anymore. I did every weekend for a while
ReplyDeleteI do know the meaning of San Diego, but I'm pretty new here don't want to get thrown off yet
Harrison, I'm pretty sure it means "Saint Diego." I guess we'll agree to disagree.
ReplyDeleteWhen in Rome.
LOL Tigerfan - I meant the "professionals" have all changed their minds. As a matter of fact I may not believe the new coach is the new coach until he's standing on the sidelines! :-)
ReplyDeleteHarrison, San Diego is Spanish for a "whale's vagina." FYI.
ReplyDeleteshesaid, She said it.
ReplyDeletei didn't know if vagina was a safe word or not...now i know
ReplyDeleteMonica, I took a nap.
ReplyDeleteSean, if you were flipping out on me, I didn't notice. For starters, I was hanging with the Hotties and not paying attention to the crazy drivers around me. Also, I live in south Florida, and have become immune to the antics of passionate people behind the wheel of their cars. There's more horn honking here than in NYC.
Since it's a medical term, I just went for it. It could be worse....right?
ReplyDeletegeez, I had to get all the way to definition 7 on urbandictionary.com before I figured out the San Diego reference.
ReplyDeleteway to slow man.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah..i know worse words. i love dirty words
ReplyDeletehate to correct you shesaid, but it is german, not spanish.
ReplyDeleteIt is, in fact, German.
ReplyDeleteI like Spurrier, funny how people knock his recruiting. The guy currently has the RIVALS # 10 class for 2009. Had teh #22 Class in 2008 #6 in 2007. He has the scout #14 class so far in 2009, he had the #7 2006 scout class. The guy is recruiting to South Carolina, they have very little homegrown talent and split that with Clemson. He still has it, he's just at the wrong area. Auburn has always recruited Florida well and he will blow florida back up. Fear the visor!
ReplyDeleteSpurrier, would be an interesting hire, short lived, but interesting. I grew up in Central Florida during the early 90's. Was and still am a huge fan, I just don't know if he's a solution we're looking for.
ReplyDeleteI am glad as hell that none of you are going to teach history any time soon.
ReplyDeleteSan Diego is named after the Catholic Saint Didacus who was commonly known as San (saint) Diego. It was originally a Catholic Mission and it was most definitely not tied to anyone German.
Back to football.
Easy, Phred. It's from the movie Anchorman. We're just having some fun.
ReplyDeleteand it doesn't mean that in any language.
ReplyDeleteboring phred

ReplyDeleteOh ... I don't really have a feel for your humor yet. Learning I guess. Oops.
ReplyDeletethis from a guy with a picture of saban with a dildo on his head
ReplyDeletegerman words don't end in 'o'.
ReplyDeleteScott, it seems as if you need to rent this movie also.
ReplyDeleteWell, you are new around here so I couldn't make up my mind if you were funny or just not all that bright. My mistake. Carry on.
ReplyDeletePMarsh says "Fisher, Gill lose some ground in Auburn's search" that's just the headline. I refuse to pay so don't know what else he said. I didn't know Fisher had any ground to lose!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope his source is the same one who told him Rhodes wouldn't be hired as DC last year.
Ouch...it's getting tense in here.
ReplyDeleteit's cool..we're just messing wround
ReplyDeleteBTW, although I refuse to pay for aundercover, scout, etc, I'd be more than willing to send JGT a donation just cause he doesn't make me pay.
ReplyDeleteJGT, give us your paypal name!

ReplyDeletelike Harrison Phord I'm getting phrantic
ReplyDeletePFrank, what do you here about Nix. Aren't you in Miami?
ReplyDeleteJay G, makin' it rain!
ReplyDeleteAh well, the unproductiveness continues indefinitely. It's a good thing we're slow at work.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that GKG is now mainstream. I was hoping know one would find out.
ReplyDeleteOk, back to work for my presentation since we seem to be in a holding pattern of nothingness.
Word down here is Nix is 50/50 returning to Miami, irregardless of what happens with Auburn. The only talk I've heard about an Auburn connection have been reporters quoting the B'Ham news.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting on that "pine box" moment to occur. When it does, we'll have our guy.
ReplyDeleteI hate coaching searches.
ReplyDeleteI really hate this coaching search. it's making me dumber
ReplyDeleteI think we should rally in Auburn tomorrow and protest coaching searches.
ReplyDeleteDrove by there this afternoon and everyone was just standing around. I guess someone forgot to bring the grain alcohol and the road flares?
ReplyDeletethanks for what you said phred. let's try to store some auburn back to HABOTN
ReplyDeleteJD, what do you propose we discuss?
ReplyDeletehow about more coaching rumors?
ReplyDeleteOne of my sources says Steve Spurrier is the leader. Another says Muschamp is the guy.
ReplyDeleteI also here that Brian Kelly has a checkered history that is scaring suitors away.
And this is today's Inside Information, brought to you by Jaybar.
don't know but the same lame anchorman quotes i've been hearing since 2004 were getting really old fast.
ReplyDeletei've heard the same thing michael. it is interesting that everyone seems to be split between boomer and ole ball coach. almost like those two are the real tops on the list
200
ReplyDelete
