ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Jet!
ReplyDeleteWhen is that new bball arena going to be completed?
ReplyDeleteJay, 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."
ReplyDeleteNote 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. :)
ReplyDeletegood 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Funny Charles Barkley video:

"This is for Gene Chizik!"
The new arena is suppose to be ready for the 2010-11 season.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDelete"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?
Link to story
Will HAHAHAHA I do love a good men's room story.
ReplyDeleteGood morning and Merry Christmas, HOTTIES!!! I was just getting caught up on yesterday's blog. After I left, all the fun started! Monica, I was a little shocked by your "Names" post!
ReplyDeleteWas it too bad? I should probably clean up my act, huh?
ReplyDeleteWell, coming from you, it was just a little shocking, that's all. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe post that made me LOL was when you read a post and started snorting and your boss walked in. Good Times.
ReplyDeleteThen I have you fooled, Luv! LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, the boss catching me mid-Michael post left me with red cheeks for sure!
michael can come up with some good stuff. Do you have big plans for the holidays?
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see the AU men finally putting some W's on the board! Thanks for covering it Jay.
ReplyDeleteLuv - We'll do Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and then our family gathers at Greg's mom's house on Christmas for a big dinner, etc.
ReplyDeleteHow about you?
morning HOTTIES! another day of inventory here in knox-vegas. yippee.
ReplyDeleteauburnsports.com reports that our favorite backup QB Chris Todd is finally going to have shoulder surgery. JG, why the heck did it take so long to decide this?????
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.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Eve Eve inventory SUCKS! Shame on Scottie B's boss.
ReplyDeleteAgreed 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."
ReplyDeleteEddie, 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.
ReplyDeleteoooohhhh. 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.
ReplyDeleteSFC,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
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!
ReplyDeleteFlorida 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.
ReplyDeleteMonica, sorry it took me so long to respond. I'm at work and I had to do several portable CXR's.
ReplyDeleteYour favorite part is the big dinner, right? ;-)
I'll be flying up to PA tomorrow to spend Christmas with my family.
It should still be a good game right, Kathy?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the cold front will be over in Atlanta before tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Chiz- been the last couple of days? Who's he visited, what coaches has he talked to?
I think it will be a great game Luv. Two Heisman QBs facing off. Should be some exciting offense.
ReplyDeleteChiz probably had some Christmas shopping to do!
ReplyDeleteI love me some offense!
ReplyDeleteChiz had to restock his wardrobe with Orange and Blue!
ReplyDeleteBy Christmas Shopping, you mean coordinator shopping, right?
ReplyDeleteScottie 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?
ReplyDeleteLuv, 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.
ReplyDeleteHopefully 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.
ReplyDeleteLOL yeah, Luv. I'm just going to take a few cans of cream of anything and dump it on whatever is served. I kid! :-)
ReplyDeleteFlying on Christmas Eve? You're a brave girl, indeed. Wave as you fly over Huntington.
I thought Todd already had shoulder surgery before coming to Auburn.
ReplyDeleteyou know Kathy, it's possible that his shoulder was surgically removed before he got to AU
ReplyDeleteEddie - Your Disney pictures are great. Looks like y'all had big fun. Your toddler was in heaven.
ReplyDeleteMrTommy - That would explain SO much. ;-)
ReplyDeletewhat's GOOGLE Chrome? sounds fancy PF.
ReplyDeletei hope the best for C.Todd. who knows what would've happened this year if he had been healthy and CTF's offense actually somewhat worked.
Mornin', peeps.
ReplyDeleteMonica ... 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?
Google Chrome is a browser for that shady operating system that starts with a "W".
ReplyDeleteAnyone interested in an afternoon campfire?
scottie b, it's google's new browser. faster then internet explorer, for sure.
ReplyDeleteif, by afternoon, you mean 1:00pm cdt, I'm up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica. Emma loved Disney. Glad you enjoyed the picures.
ReplyDeleteYes, Monica, I hated to leave then, but I have to work! I don't even have three days of vacation time, but I'm going anyway.
ReplyDeleteI have a lunch date with Wifey, so 1 p.m. is out.
ReplyDeleteMight be able to hit 2 or 3 or 4.
I hope to be gone by 1pm EST, so I probably won't be around. Now works good :).
ReplyDeleteLOL MrTommy. That would explain a lot! I wish Todd well.
ReplyDeleteI need to get a pic of my new tat up! Kristina's husband seemed lukewarm to it last night.
ReplyDeleteI think he needs one.
Mornings are made for exercise.
ReplyDeleteCan't campfire in the mornings.
(It's a verb now.)
I've got a new tat on my tooth! My husband tattoo'ed an AU on my new crown, back molar. No pain with those kind.
ReplyDeleteseriously? on your tooth? ...and you're married to a tattoo artist? that's kinda neat.
ReplyDelete3pm is still cool with me. won't be there if its any later.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a tattoo on someone's tooth!
ReplyDeleteActually 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.
ReplyDeleteexplain 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?
ReplyDeleteJay - 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.
ReplyDeleteDental tats...wow...
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.
ReplyDeletebut, if it's a molar, who sees it?
ReplyDeleteLuv, my dentist, hygienist, and husband, and anyone I want to show it to! Just like a tat. He can put them on any tooth.
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely AMAZING, the stuff you learn on this blog.
ReplyDeleteyeah I wish Chris all the best, but I'm not going to hold my breath on his comeback
Kathy, is it put on the top or the side of the tooth? (just trying to get the visual)
ReplyDelete"Wanna see my dental tat?"
ReplyDeleteThat line could take you so many places!
So pain is the reason people don't get tattoos?
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteHeck yes...PAIN is a big reason....
ReplyDeleteI'm a wimp at heart
Am I REALLY supposed to resist commenting on that, Faker?
ReplyDeleteit is Christmas, Monica...
ReplyDeleteI have four tats now and I was the oldest patron in the parlor each time. So it goes.
ReplyDeleteOK. Campfire at 2.
Luv - Thank goodness you're here to remind me to be sweet. :-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Faker!
Holiday Campfiring! wooo hooo
ReplyDeleteGood Morning HOTTIES!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow are we today
i have one TAT,
ReplyDeleteGetting another one for my bday....
Monica - but, apparently you aren't as sweet as I thought you were! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood morning and Merry Christmas, AUnMobile!
ReplyDeleteJet contrails ...
ReplyDelete1. 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."
Hi Luv....
ReplyDeleteHope you get all the gifts you are wanting on Christmas Monring!!!!
Pain is also the reason to get a tattoo...
ReplyDeleteJet,
ReplyDeleteDo we really want to think that hard on the eve before Christmas eve?
As Clubber Lang said in Rocky III, "Prediction? Pain."
ReplyDeleteLOL Peter!
ReplyDeletePain = good.
ReplyDeleteTMI?
I'm heading off to exercise.
ReplyDeleteSee you around 2.
Campfire at 2pm
ReplyDeleteJay G.,
is this like the HOTTIES Christmas Party!!!! itsa BYOB everybody, so don't come empty handed and expect me to share my adult beverages with you!
I have three and pain was not the reason I got them.
ReplyDeleteLuv,
ReplyDeleteShare with the Hotties! We want to know!

ReplyDeleteumm...what would you like to know?
ReplyDeletePF - 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.
ReplyDeleteNow, all we need is a tooth that plays the Auburn fight song. That would shut some Bambis up.
ReplyDeleteI want to know about the three Tats adn why you got them? Sahre details
ReplyDeleteJay's got a new thread up.
ReplyDeleteI have a dolphin on my ankle, a killer whale on my shoulder and a trio of dolphins on the small of my back. Why did I get them? Hmmm...the first one was kinda on a whim. The second one I got about two weeks later because I liked the first one so much.
ReplyDeleteLuv - I am not sweet at all! I am mean, mean, mean!! :-)
ReplyDeleteMobile - Good morning!
Jet - That post was campfirelicious!
Peter - Freakish overshare. I like that. Though some of us already knew this.
I don't do tats. A tooth that played the fightsong? Sign me up!
