Jay, I was sporting the shirt at the game tonight, got some pretty strange looks. I reckon acronyms are intriguing. One guy stopped me in the restroom and actually said this to me....in the men's room mind you, "Turn around and let me see it from the back."

Note to any HABOTN tee shirt owners, DO NOT WEAR TO MEN's RESTROOM.

Will, sorry you were nearly attacked in the men's room for wearing such a pimp-daddy shirt. :)

good work tonite JGT. really dig the timeout updates.

also love any scoreboard that says AUBURN WINS!

travel safely back to the gump.

Good win for Auburn tonight. I expected it to be a close game.

I hope they can keep the momentum going now. It would be nice to be 10-4 going into South Carolina next month. That would give me some hope for an above .500 season and an NIT berth.

The new arena is suppose to be ready for the 2010-11 season.

I am excited to see us actually get into SEC play. This team doesn't seem great, but they seem much better than we have had in recent years.

We can't buy a free throw.

What is it about Lebo that causes us to not be able to hit free throws? I assume Dean Smith showed him how to when he was at UNC.

I know fundamentals aren't good anywhere in college basketball, but we are far below average in that category and have been for years.

Jay - When I heard this story this morning on ESPN I wondered what your take would be.

"Detroit News columnist Rob Parker asked Marinelli(Detroit Head Coach) if he wished his daughter married a better defensive coordinator, taking a shot at his son-in-law Joe Barry, after Sunday's 42-7 loss to New Orleans."

Do you think beat writer, Rob Parker, "crossed the line" with this question?

morning HOTTIES! another day of inventory here in knox-vegas. yippee.

Mornin' everybody. Looks like it's gonna be another low key day here at the office. So I will be watching with great antici......pation at all the great news coming out of Auburn today. Yep been at work an hour and my mind is already numb.

Christmas Eve Eve inventory SUCKS! Shame on Scottie B's boss.

Agreed MrTommy. Another boring day at work. At least I get to go to the Apple store to replace a company issued Iphone and then home early. Anything to kill time at this point. As a famous line from Stanley on the Office: "This is a run the clock out situation."

8:17 AM  
Blogger Jeremy Eubanks said...

Eddie, while you're there, can you ask them why my mac suddenly started going to a command screen, saying "root user not found," then going to the blue startup screen forever? I'm pretty sure its a lost cause, but not sure what happened.

8:22 AM

oooohhhh. I like google chrome. it makes the HABOTN really fast. and doesn't give me that non-matching security warning that IE does, just a warning icon in the corner.

Blogger James in Auburn said...

SFC,

I think this team has a "chance", to go 8-8 in conference play (and I say that as a positive thing).

Two of the biggest SEC games this year are at home (UT and UF). If you can steal one of those, take care of your divisional opponents at home, and steal a couple on the road then 19-12 looks like a good possibility.

However, RK makes a good point about FT shooting. Consistently shooting 60% or less at the line will cost Auburn a couple of more games this year. CJL needs to make these guys sit at the line for hours each week, just practicing FTs.

8:43 AM  
Blogger Kathy said...

I agree James. I have never understood how a basketball player, especially a professional basketball player, can not shoot free throws. No pressure. No one guarding you. Just practice, practice, practice. Poor Free Throw shooting really gets me peeved!

Blogger Kathy said...

Florida is going to see a "new attitude" Oklahoma for the championship game. Sounds like Stoops is on a mission. He is taking his team out a day later, imposing curfews, etc. He wants this win. He's been embarrassed in several past bowl games, one that Auburn should have been playing in instead of them.

Monica, sorry it took me so long to respond. I'm at work and I had to do several portable CXR's.

By Christmas Shopping, you mean coordinator shopping, right?

9:14 AM  
Blogger AUBigCat said...

Scottie B I agree. Maybe they thought Chris Todd's shoulder would heal with rest and rehab and it hasn't. I wonder if this will end his career?

9:14 AM  
Blogger Kathy said...

Luv, I LOVE offense too, something we haven't seen in a LONG time! Good point about the orange and blue. I imagine he got rid of those clothes a long time ago.

Hopefully OC/DC are on top of his shopping list Peter!

I think the only matchup I would have rather seen than OK v UF would be UF v TX. Now that would be a great game.

I thought Todd already had shoulder surgery before coming to Auburn.

Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Mornin', peeps.

Monica ... on the Detroit coach thing ... I'd have to know the relationship between the columnist and the coaches involved. After 10 years of covering Tuberville, we all had a lot of inside jokes with him that might sound awkward if brought up in a press conference. I'll elaborate on this later.

Your Auburn Tigers: On a three-game winning streak. How about that?

Actually I'm married to a dental tech who owns a dental lab. One of our dentists loves to have him put tattoos on certain clients. The best have been a goofy and a blue bird. He surprised me with the AU. My dentist showed it to me before he put it on.

explain the process of a tooth tattoo? Is it actually done with needles, or is is more of a painting. how quickly does it wear out?

Jay - RE: Detroit beat writer thing. I thought the reaction was over the top, but thought maybe I was missing something. I look forward to your more later.

Dental tats...wow...

9:52 AM  
Blogger Kathy said...

A tooth tattoo is actually drawn and painted on the crown before the firing process. It definitely takes talent. It is fired into the porcelain so it is permanent and never fades. It last longer than you do! Morbidly, I could be identified by the crown alone.

9:54 AM

but, if it's a molar, who sees it?

So pain is the reason people don't get tattoos?

It's on the front of my tooth. Pain was the reason I didn't get a body tattoo. Now it's just age. My oldest daughter has several body tattoos. My youngest is trying to decide what and where she wants one.

Jet contrails ...

1. If I were Rod Marinelli, I would have pummeled the beat writer ... as a going away gift. The question was completely inapprpropriate -- the team is 0-15, and you're referencing the daughter.

2. A second potential response, "Did the wrong Marine reach Iwo Jima first that led to your conception? Next question."

3. If you have to put "Auburn Wins!" on the jumbotron after beating ASU, then should we be concerned.

4. Campfire is a noun, verb, advjective and can be used as an adverb when the appropriate "ly" is added as in "The campfiring HOTTIES campfired by the campfire on a cold December afternoon, and the experience was campfirely."

PF - I am a linux person, not a Mac person, but since the Mac OS is unix based it appears that your root user account and probably the accounts for all users have been corrupted. I would try upgrading your OS, even to the same version, and seeing if it corrects the problem. If that doesn't work, I would use a recovery disk and go in and recreate the user accounts. You probably need to find a Mac OS guy or a linux guy to take a look. The error you mention doesn't mean your files are gone. Your operating system is just hosed up.
