Scene from the Tuberville Summit

This is where it's all going down. Tuberville has been meeting with Jay Jacobs and other Auburn officials in this general area since this morning.

I still have nothing conclusive to report.

I will report conclusive stuff when I get it.

    I got 5 on him staying....even after all this schadenfreud.

  5. I can just imagine a bunch of reporters sitting out in a lobby waiting on any movement just waiting to pounce on the next person to walk through the door.

    Heard from inside Jay Jacobs' office:

    Tubs: "I have a plan..."

    Jacobs (on phone): "What's that, Mr. Lowder? Yeah, says he has a plan."

    Tubs: "Stack of resumes...mile high!"

    Jacobs (on phone): "Mr. Lowder wants to know who has submitted resumes..."

    Tubs: "Well, there's that guy from Washington...and WATSON BROWN, you know Watson Brown, he's MACK BROWN's brother! And, uhh, Ron Prince..."

    Jacobs (on phone): "Did you hear that, Mr. Lowder? Says he's got resumes from...[click]...hello? Hello? Mr. Lowder?"

    Tubs: "...and here's a good one, the guy from Syracuse..."

    Derrick Dooley to Miss. State a good hire? I have heard some reports that that's who they're looking at.

    Alright, here's our defense. Intent, no one can prove there was any poison on the rag. Code reds, they're common and accepted in Guantanimo Bay. The order, A, Kendrick gave it, B they had no choice but to follow it. That's it.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Doubt Jimmy Sexton has anything to do with it. Why would they include him?

    And how good did Jimmy come out on the UT situation? Gets his part of the 6 mil buuyout, and his guy Kiffin gets the new job anyway. Quite a day.

  14. They were going to testify that they had no recollection of any meeting beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m.

  18. Due to the lack of a 2pm announcement, I'm giving Jaybar the win over George for the day.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Keeping with the A Few Good Men trend,Alabama vs Tub over the weekend...

    They beat up on a weakling, and that's all they did. The rest is just smokefilled coffee-house crap. They tortured and tormented a weaker kid. They didn't like him. So, they killed him. And why? Because he couldn't run very fast.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Jaybar just text messaged me that George is actually Tim, and he has pulled yet another fast one on us.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm sorry, your time's run out. What do we have for the losers, Dr. Gogue? Well, for our misled HOTTIES it's a lifetime at exotic Tuscaloosa. And for coup d'ete leader Jet? That's right -- it's --a public flogging.

    Yes, Johnny, after falsely accusing a coach of malfeasance, incompetence and general knuckleheadedness, Jet will have a long and prosperous career teaching typewriter maintenance at the Rocco Columbo School for Women.

    Thank you for playing "Should We or Should-We-Not Follow the Advice of the Galacticly Stupid".

  22. Dooley stepped down from his cushy job as AD/Head Coach/Chef/Busdriver/Accountant/Administrative Assistant at the University of Ruston to take a job as just Head Football Coach in the land of the cowbells?

  38. Dear Mrs. Tuberville, I was Tommy's athletic director. I knew your son vaguely, which is to say I knew his name. In a matter of time, the meeting of the two men charged with your son's dismissal will be concluded, and seven men and two women whom you've ate BBQ with for years will also be terminated. For my part, I've done as much as I can to bring the truth to light. And the truth is this: Your son is fired for only one reason. I wasn't strong enough to stop him from hiring Tony Franklin. Always, Athletic Director Jay Jacobs, Auburn University.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Since we are all in the imagining mood, I'd like to think the meeting is going like the lebowski meeting with Larry in which Jay Jacobs is Walter and Jay Googoo is the dude:

    Jay Jacobs: Is this your record this year, Tommy? (shows sheet of paper with 5-7 written on it) Is this your record, Tommy?
    Jay Googoo: Look, man...
    Jay Jacobs: Dude, please? Is this your record, Tommy?
    Jay Googoo: Just ask him about Franklin.
    Jay Jacobs: Is this yours, Tommy? Is this your record Tommy?
    Jay Googoo: Is that your car out front?
    Jay Jacobs: Is this your record this year, Tommy?
    Jay Googoo: We know it's his freaking record! Where's the freaking wins, you little brat?
    Jay Jacobs: Look, Tommy. Have you ever heard of Vietnam?
    Jay Googoo: Oh, come on, Walter...
    Jay Jacobs: You're entering a world of pain, son. We know that this is your record this year. We know that you hired Tony Franklin.
    Jay Googoo: And all the freaking losses.
    Jay Jacobs: And the freaking losses. And, we know that this is your record this year.
    Jay Googoo: We're going to cut your salary off, Tommy.
    Jay Jacobs: You're killing your father, Tommy!

    (Tommy remains silent, unmoved. Jay Jacobs walks outside and bashes in David Marsh's car with a bat thinking it was Tommy's)

    Not trying to promote or anything, but an Auburn message board TigersX.net change the logo of their forum's name to GatorsX to mess with Alabama fans. Also, a majority of the posters, including myself, changed their handle to some sort of Gator/UF reference. It has been rather humorous. Check it out.

  60. Monica's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

  61. If it goes on 4 or 5 days, I'll be preaching on the street with a tin cup in my hand, because I'll be UNEMPLOYED! I'm spending way, way, too much time trying to keep up with this stuff...

  62. What Auburn Undercover guy?

    Bo Megginson? If so, he only said it would last that long because he wanted extra days to bitch about everything.

    If it goes on for 5 days, then Tub is staying.

    At 2:35 you said there was not meeting, no annoucement, no nothing.

    Now, you say they have been meeting since morning. What is up?

    Unless your last name begins with a K and ends with a G, then I aint buying it. I know a guy named George with those letters in the last name that happens to know BL....some thing he has told me would shock a lot of Auburn people.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Barkley - I just heard the drag on for 4 or 5 days part. I heard him say there was a meeting this morning. I didn't catch it if he said there was this morning and that was all for the day.

    Did that make sense?

  98. Since everyone else on here "knows someone" or "has a friend who knows", or "has heard from inside sources" that they cannot reveal because it would mean everyone in the whole world would lose their job. Let me be the first to say that the reason I am on here right now is b/c I don't know shhhh about what's going on and I don't have any friends on the inside, nor confidential sources, nor cousins who babysit Lowder's kids, and I figure Jay might help shed some light.

  118. I think that's a wrap for the day.
