1/8/09, NOONISHHey everyone. I will be taking part in The Roundtable radio program on WMSP 740 this afternoon. I plan on arriving around 1 p.m. CST.
WMSP-AM streams on the interwebs.
Please have a listen and feel free to represent HABOTN Nation with a phone call.
At times the 740 website stream acts up and doesn't work. In those cases, I recommend THIS SITE.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support as always, Sensi.
ReplyDeleteare you going to be in studio and for how long?
ReplyDeleteSo you're going to break the news on the new OL coach while on the air? Cool...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links. Sports radio in Atlanta is all about the leg humpers, and that gets old. One more "Stafford and Knowshon should stay" and I'm gonna puke.
ReplyDeleteto me, the stafford/knowshon thing has to be disappointing for uga fans (not that there is anything WRONG with that). r. brown and caddy stayed at auburn after a disappointing 2003 season (like 2008 was for uga) and we know how that turned out.
ReplyDeletetrue, scott. With all the injuries that Georgia had this year healing, those two had a chance to come back and do something special. Has to be a little disappointing to the uga sidewalk fan...like you said, not that there's anything wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteMonica I was serious this time. Can't imagine WVites know what to do with darlins and shugas. Just building up some points I'll need with you at a later date.
ReplyDeletejust so no one (e.g. mrtommyd) is envious, I thought I'd let you know I just had the nastiest tasting bbq in my life. Tried a place in Durham I hadn't been to before. Mostly yanks there, but I didn't realize that before ordering. It was gross. I'm sure they are in violation of some NC BBQ law for that swill.
ReplyDeleteNext time I'll drive the 30 miles to Hurseys
any factual updates on whether or not Bryce Brown will visit AU?
ReplyDeleteTotally unrelated to anything, but I want to give out an award for the best quote of 2008 to............................
ReplyDeleteTony Franklin.
Here's the jewel that I remember so well:
“It’s the best problem I think I’ve had in my life. I’ve had a lot of problems, but this is a really good one."
Unfortunately for AU, this didn't turn out to be such a great problem. Here's the context; hope Jay doesn't mind a small copy from the article:
>>>By Collin Mickle
Published: August 7, 2008
Auburn’s quarterback competition shows no sign of being resolved any time soon.
That’s fine by Tony Franklin.
The Tigers’ offensive coordinator is content to let quarterbacks Kodi Burns and Chris Todd battle for the No. 1 job, a competition that began in spring practice. Franklin said Thursday that the race wasn’t close to finished.
“I’ll just keep evaluating every day and realizing regardless of that, is that they are both going to play,” he said. “They are both good.”
Thursday, a reporter asked Franklin if having two evenly matched quarterbacks was “a problem.”
Franklin certainly doesn’t see it that way.
“It’s a really good problem,” he said. “It’s the best problem I think I’ve had in my life. I’ve had a lot of problems, but this is a really good one.
“They are both good; they are both competitive; they both are good leaders; they both like each other; the team likes both of them. It’s a really good problem. There’s nothing negative about it at all. It’s nothing but positive.”<<<
So was he that bad of a judge of talent, or was he just trying to keep everybody excited until we were exposed as the fraud that he knew we would be? Kinda like the Babylonians partying right up to the moment that the Persians took the city?
Sensi - I look forward to trying that linked site the next time the network nazi's mess with my streaming. Living in the ATL metro area, I have to rely on streaming to avoid the idiocy of local radio here.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Yes astatguy, I hate Duck and Kincaid in the afternoon. Or is it Crook and Kincaid, idk, either way its annoying.
ReplyDeleteI think the corporate firewalls are keeping me from any of the online radio stuff.
ReplyDeleteTarheel, I don't want to say "serves ya right", but that is just a little bit funny.
Kinkaid in the afternoon and friggin Laurentino in the morning, Unfortunately that's my only choice because of the time I work and where I live.
ReplyDeleteCan none of you get ESPNRadio?
ReplyDeleteMike and Mike and Colin Cowherd are superior to any of that ATL stuff for sure.
mrtommyd- you can say it cause i deserve it
ReplyDeleteif you're ever on I-85 in NC, try:
Lexington Barbecue
10 US Hwy 29 70 S
Lexington, NC 27295-2043
or my favorite:
Hursey's
I was amazed when I relocated to the ATL area at the absolute crap that passes for local sports talk around here.
ReplyDeleteTHT, how was the barbecue?
ReplyDeleteMiami sports radio is pretty decent.
ReplyDeleteI would think that ATL could get some good sports radio talent, but apparently from the reports here, it's a wasteland.
ReplyDeleteWhat does that make Birmingham?
scottie b
ReplyDeletein a word: nasty
see my 12:34 post
I think ipods were invented so no one would ever have to listen to talk radio again.
ReplyDeleteSince at the moment the chatter is centering on the crappy state of local sports talk in da A-town as well as bbq. I was also disappointed that it was so hard to find good bbq convenient to me around these parts. Any of you other Hotties in the northeast suburbs of ATL, pass along some bbq names please.
ReplyDeleteIf that's an inexcusable threadjack then disregard.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else annoyed by the new ESPN.com?
ReplyDeleteoh, sorry THT. i had a turkey sandwich from Ingles. i had to eat like before heading to Hooters after work.
ReplyDeletenobody likes the morning show on 740 in ATL? those guys weren't too bad from what i remember.
tommyd, I bring my own laptop and connect card to the office to get around the network security.
ReplyDeleteI also recommend XM radio...for sports talk.
Sirius channels 120 and 124.
ReplyDeletegatiger - I recommend Low Country BBQ. They had been only a caterer for 40 years but have a few QSR locations on the northside. Of course with BBQ it all depends on what "style" you like but I'm always willing to try them all.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the suburbs, but there's a killer little bbq shack (literally a shack with a manufactured home add-on, but that's meaningless detail)on Memorial, just south of I-20, next to the BP station. Also, I have enjoyed Five Star, next to the Roxy before. Its a little too Texas-tomatoey for my tastes in general, but its still quality bbq. I'll ask my dad if he knows of any up your way. He seems to have a knack for finding that local dive that serves authentic food.
ReplyDeleteBigMike - I'm sorry, shugah. I misunderstood. I thought you were overwhelmed by my rude gesture directed toward Peter.
ReplyDeleteGatiger:
ReplyDeleteStay away from BBQ ... it will cause you to:
a. Not adquately develop wide receivers
b. Have poor special teams play
c. Hold and illegally proceed at inopportune times.
d. Cause to develop a nasty chop-blocking habit.
Well, you can keep "D."
Tarheel -THANK YOU for the Q hookup. I may just have to make the trip up there my next trip to Charlotte
ReplyDeleteBig Mike - thanks for the thought, but don't have the laptop, so I'm screwed
Hotties!! What is up?
ReplyDeleteRepresent Jay G!
It's crazy in Atlanta. 680 the Fan is "home of Auburn football" but any other time you don't hear a work about Auburn.
ReplyDeleteIf the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation (aka AJC) hadn't reported the Chiz hire we would have never heard...well besides HABOTN of course.
There are ways around the firewall. Just like the wall in Berlin.
ReplyDeletePeople will not be contained!
BigMike - you're right, LowCountry is mighty tasty and even better is only a few miles from the house. Another good one if you also are looking is Smokejack in downtown Alpharetta.
ReplyDeleteWhew...don't hear southern accents like this everyday around here.
ReplyDeleteMr. Man ...
ReplyDeleteTear down this wall!!!
Two chain bbq joints I like are Dreamland and Nick and Jakes.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a place in Vinings near me called Thompson Brothers - FANtastic!!
talk radio is painful, extremely painful
ReplyDeleteGun show!
ReplyDeleteJet, that was funny.
ReplyDeleteJetZ - that's most disturbing since I do love my Q. My personal star recruit already has a pretty nasty form of the chop block working and I'm thinking he may shape up better as a back rather than a receiver but we have plenty of time to figure that out.
ReplyDeleteJetZilla does love BBQ ...
ReplyDeleteBig Bob Gibson's, Decatur
Sam's, Mont-Gump-Ree
Herman's Rib House, FayetteNam
Sprayberry's, Newnan (In Memory of Lewis Grizzard, the lone tolerable Dawg I know of)
TarHell,
ReplyDeleteI invite you to check out the The Gridiron Breakdown on Saturday mornings at 9:30 am CST. There is an archive of shows on the site as well.
I think you might like it.
I'm sorry y'all - but I love me some Country's. Did a lot of damage there on all you can eat chicken nights. The trick (from my buddy Lee) is to add tobasco to the mild sauce.
ReplyDeleteSprayberry's has a following but only go to the original location down in the bowels of Newnan. Don't go to the big restaurant out by the interstate.
ReplyDeleteSam's was a personal fave while in the Gump, also Smokehouse just across the river was always good.
ReplyDeleteI'm also mighty fond of Sprayberry's too, but I seem to have a crisis trying to get there now since the Hooter's opened up across the street. I've heard they have good wings or sumpin.
Jay G. after the break.
ReplyDeleteI used to love Country's in Montgomery and Prattville.
ReplyDeleteLORD!!! I feel sorry for you guys in Montgomery that have to listen to this everyday to get their sports talk fix. These Guys Are BAD!!
ReplyDeleteLT
As you all know, if you miss the audio appearance, hit me up on email.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the regular crew. Doug is out today. I like it better when it's Doug and Josh.
ReplyDeleteCountry's has a great salad Mon!!
ReplyDeleteBigMike, you are correct, and I should have noted such.
ReplyDeleteTrue story ... Four of us piled in a car on Friday afternoon before the 1993 UGA game, bound for Athens.
Two of my friends had tickets in hand. I had one waiting on me, and one of us going to have to find one there.
We go to the original Sprayberry's and gorge ourselves on pork, onion rings, stew, white bread and bottled Cokes.
As we are leaving, my friend asks the guy at the register about where the best place to look for tickets in Athens would be. When the restaurant manager hands him, his change, there's a ticket on top and he says, "I can't go anyway. Don't beat us too bad."
Personally, I had too many bad experiences with Country's allowing things not meant to be eaten finding it's way onto my plate. That said, it's probably been a personal 20+ year boycott. I predict their demise any day now.
ReplyDeleteDoing my best to hang on to hear Jay.
ReplyDeleteA Wolfman Jack reference...oh my.
Mr S? You do a transcript or something?
ReplyDeleteJet- that is AWESOME!!
Country's! COUNTRY'S!!!
ReplyDeleteBleeeecch.
Smokehouse in Millbrook was another fave until it got a little over done and burned to the ground.
LMAO @ "football stats...check the stove...football stats...check the stove"
ReplyDeleteMy firewall I can't get anything....but one interesting note....finebaum comes through loud and clear which is comical.
ReplyDeletegatiger - I normally don't think about those "things". I just cover it in sauce and go at it. Ofcourse, I don't normally eat anything other than the meat.
ReplyDeleteJetZ - before someone left the oven on, one of the last times I went to Smokehouse one of our fellow STJ peeps was working there. That doesn't necessarily mean that said person had any responsibility with the overdone thing but I'm just putting it out there.
ReplyDeleteAnybody like the Catfish House in Milbrook?
ReplyDeleteTommyd are you a meatatarian?
ReplyDeleteThat's right Jet. It was barbecue, and all I wanted chicken on tuesday night after drum practice
ReplyDeleteLove the catfish house, Cory!
ReplyDeleteTommyD - not exactly. Email and I'll explain.
Was that Jay G keeping the show on track?
ReplyDeletegreat story, jet.
ReplyDeleteSunshine Pusher. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs much as possible Big Mike
ReplyDeleteCory ...
ReplyDeleteCatfish House? Yes.
But I prefer seafood ... JUBILEE!!!
This is radio?!?!?
ReplyDeleteHorrible!!!
Let Jay G talk!!
That is a great story, Jet, and because of it, I will patronize Sprayberry's next time I'm through Newnan.
ReplyDeleteFinally the origin of "Bag"...I did not know that...
ReplyDeleteIt's about time some of you newbies called into the Roundtable:
ReplyDeleteWill
BigMike
DMiller
Tar
Mr. Tommy
Who are these guys?!?
ReplyDeleteIs this the college amatuer hour?
Shut up Gomer and let Jay G talk!
Cory - That's EXACTLY what I ate at Country's. My girlfriend and I would get the same salad every time. I can't remember what it was called.
ReplyDeleteCalm down, Aubie.
ReplyDeleteCan we have a live transcript for those who can't hear.
ReplyDeleteI have never called into the roundtable because I feel that my lack of a strong southern accent would be out of place on the show.
ReplyDeleteI always get the Chef salad Mon...very good.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to lurk and comment
ReplyDeleteserenity now
ReplyDeleteserenity now
serenity now
Who is on today?
ReplyDeleteDoes it have eggs and big huge onion rings and it comes in a bowl as big as your head? I think we'd get shredded chicken on it?
ReplyDeleteCan we comment on the station's site? Ax questions that way?
ReplyDeleteFor those of you keeping score, youtube has been unblocked at my work. For how long, I don't know, but I am enjoying Jan Terri while I can.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mon,
ReplyDeleteI'm not a "caller".
breathe in through the nose
ReplyDeletehold for 3,2,1
breathe out through the mouth
Does Gomer know that the microphone doesn't have to be IN your mouth for us to hear him?
ReplyDeleteweenies
ReplyDeleteSo when people call into the roundtable, what do they do? How long are they on hold? how long do they talk?
ReplyDeleteAubie - you're no longer great.
ReplyDeleteuh oh.
ReplyDeleteI think I called Monie's baby ugly.
Michael - If you say you're Michael from the HABOTN you won't be on hold more than a minute or so. You talk for just a few seconds. Long enough to say something like, "Monica is the world's hottest hottie and I love her deeply." Just for instance...
ReplyDeleteEmail me if you miss the appearance.
ReplyDeleteIt's still not as bad as the time FSJ talked trash about the fundraiser they were doing.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to call in Mon, but not being able to hear what everyone has been saying, nor knowing the phone #, makes it kinda tough. Plus I think my boss may wonder what the hell I'm doing.
ReplyDeleteMonie,
ReplyDeleteI sincerely apologize. If it makes you feel any better, I will invite that guy to my job and let him post on what a crappy employee I am.
So you say like three sentences and then you are off and then they argue about what you said? Is that how it goes?
ReplyDeleteExcellent talking points suggestion Omnica.
ReplyDeleteThe Roundtable is pretty good usually.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Gridiron Breakdown mind you...
Mr. Tommy - Here's the number. 1-800-239-9544. See above for sample script for your call. IF your boss has a problem with it tell him to call me.
ReplyDeleteMon, I know you love these guys, and I'm sure with enough time, the rest of us can learn to love them, too, but this is not the best, most professional radio show. I don't mind goofing off (my favorite host is Dan Lebetard, and his radio show is a series of zombie squad-esque comments), but there is a lot of mumbling and randomness here that can't be followed. Not great radio. On the other hand, they make Jay G shine like a seasoned ESPN anchor.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, GATiger.
ReplyDeleteWhen you invite him I'll forgive you, Aubie.
Michael..... what happened to your avatar's head?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but are most of you Miami and Nashville fans that are ignoring the man from Baltimore?
ReplyDeleteOutside of Mon and Miami?
Or you could say Monica is the 2nd worlds hottest hottie behind Cory...
ReplyDeleteWake yourself up, Cory. Not nice to doze off while on the HABOTN.
ReplyDeleteYou love it...
ReplyDeleteI'll send him an invitation via Facebook.
ReplyDelete;)
tommyd - Jan Terri was receiving some grief about the hat she wore, which was given to her by her late boyfriend Paul "Teddy Bear" Bryant. So she removed it, revealing a bald black head, which should endear her much more to the Hotties.
ReplyDeleteI love you dreaming about being hotter than me? Ever man needs a dream.
ReplyDeleteOr dial 1-888-DA-QUEEN and talk to Omnica directly and cut out the middle man.
ReplyDeleteDo they read the HABOTN during the show?
ReplyDeleteWay to stand on your ground and wait to see what Auburn has before picking their spot.
ReplyDeleteRick Hendrick should stick to spinning records.
And have your credit card ready.
ReplyDeleteWell...then I'm a close second..
ReplyDeleteYou know Micheal she would receive A LOT more love if she changed her name to Janz Terri
ReplyDeleteSlingBlade ... must register and have a Karl Childers avatar ... uh huh huh huh.
ReplyDeleteSome people call it a blawg, I call it a HABOTN.
Ah lahk them there blawgs mmmmm
ReplyDeleteGatiger-Smokehouse caught on fire and closed. I prefer the Dixie Pig.
ReplyDeleteThe show is much better with Doug in the drivers seat.
ReplyDeleteAre we really about to steal another OSU coach, Glenn Spencer (D-Line Coach)? And what's everybody's take on Rueben Randle visiting this weekend?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Doug can drive 'cause this show is Full Speed Adrift right now....
ReplyDeleteMon,
ReplyDeleteIs it confirmed that we've visited Bryce Brown and is he coming in for an official?
I take it registration is no longer required.
ReplyDeleteare the trivia girls coming on later?
ReplyDeleteI think I might be glad I can't hear the show.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be easy to sell RR on playing time. The could even promise him the wildcat since he played QB this season.
ReplyDeleteTrivia Girls = time to change to a different online stream.
ReplyDeleteCount your blessings TommyD....
ReplyDeleteLuper is scheduled to make an in-school visit Thursday with the No. 1 running back in the country, Wichita (Kan.) East five-star Bryce Brown. Brown is listed as a soft commitment to Miami, but could consider a visit to Auburn.
ReplyDeleteper rivals
Logan are you still listening?
ReplyDeleteOnly thing keeping this ship afloat is Jay G.
ReplyDeleteYep....
ReplyDeleteAnonynous:
ReplyDelete1. Yes, I think so.
2. Recruiting Rueben Randle Rapidly Raises Rankings
Gus is visiting Lutzenkirchen this afternoon.
ReplyDeletenice aliteration
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of chatter about Wickline on the OSU boards.
ReplyDeleteI saw a few comments regarding Wickline and Spencer on the AU rivals site (but can't read the pay articles). What's the word? Would we really go steal 1 or 2 more coaches from Gundy and T-Boone State?
It's been 2 days now... I need a new coach fix.
Malz and Lutz have the Z connection. Book it.
ReplyDeleteIt was reported Gus visited Kendall Kelly in Gadsden last night, but no mention of visiting Dre. I wonder if that means they are off Dre or just didn't hook up last night.
ReplyDeleteWe need to scedule a home/home with Ok St. I think this could be the beginning of a good rivalry.
ReplyDeleteI think Spencer is more likely than Wickline, but I'd love to have both.
ReplyDeleteThen when Gundy calls Chiz to complain, Chiz can tell him ...
"Take it like a man."
Settled in now to some useful and good banter.... Of course Jay is kind'a leading the way for them.....
ReplyDeleteMr Sensible:
ReplyDeleteI did listen to the Gridiron Breakdown once and did enjoy it. Unfortunately, I usually wasn't around a computer game day mornings.
HABOTN radio. best thing on....well, radio. good stuff as always JG.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think Colt McCoy looks like Malcolm in the middle.
ReplyDeleteTarHell, we may be heading to a signal during the week. More details to come...
ReplyDeleteAn Auburn fan named 'Crim$on ___'?
ReplyDeleteSomething just sounds wrong there.
Does anyone else think Colt McCoy looks like Malcolm in the middle?
ReplyDeleteThen there's Colt's girlfriend ...
ReplyDeleteOMNICA explosion in 3-2-1 ...
Now I have a voice to put with a strange avatar.
ReplyDeleteCrimson wasn't invented in or specifically for Tuscaloosa.
ReplyDeleteThat only depends on if you have a daughter her age...I never have really understood that argument and it's always from people that don't have one.... who knows.
ReplyDeleteJ-G doubled the professionalism on the show when he walked in the studio.
ReplyDeleteYep, I have difficulty typing crimson, hottie and bigdaddy on this crazy thing.
ReplyDeleteWhew, therapy is working.
Just giving you a hard time Crim$on.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell that to the Bama fans Crimson
ReplyDeleteCrimson is the color of sin. Look it up, it's in Deuteronomy.
ReplyDeleteBama fans think the universe revolves around Denny Chimes.
ReplyDeleteMAybe T. boone can just buy out Bobby L. And we all could be happy.
ReplyDeleteor the multiverse
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 1:18
ReplyDeletecrimson=sin
TB would that mean we'd have to be known as the Auburnhoma St Cowtigers?
ReplyDeleteWell Spirit and Nova do have spurs.
ReplyDeleteRecon T. Boone could handle the yella fella?
ReplyDeleteFighting Tigercows!
ReplyDeleteWar TBoone Bald Eagle
All Orange!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry TB, I hated all orange
ReplyDeleteCareful, boys, with this Oklahoma State stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe're hiring their staff, not surrendering our sovereignty.
All orange did look cool in the stadium...but
ReplyDeleteOy- not the all orange again.
ReplyDeleteBack at the newspaper now for a BLOG break.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a new thread as we speak, but it may take a little while.
Thanks for listening in. I hope you hear a few ideas you haven't considered before.
Jet;
ReplyDeleteI just figured T. Boone buy out of the board would make life more interesting. BL and Yella Fella can just ride off in the sunset. We could hang wind mills all around Jordan Hare.
Tommyd, at least its not the Boston College crap again...and the orange subject is dead now.
ReplyDeleteIf we have windmills, we'll never make another FG.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone explain this fascination/fixation we currently have with OSU's staff? Or is that staff just tired of Mike Gundy?
ReplyDeleteJet: Remember Change is coming!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I missed the BC stuff. Or the drugs just took that part of the memory away.
ReplyDeleteJay, your understanding of everything that is going on was interesting. I could not however listen to those guys on a regular basis...whew
ReplyDeleteIt seems as though the Z-team is out trying to find us some playmakers as we all speak.
One of those guys made reference to "considering Auburn's position". Unfortunately Tubbs signed up for that "considering the players we can get" mantra as well. Glad to see that attitude changing.
Do you know who I am? Well, I'm the guy that tells you there are things you can talk about and things you can't. Now, that's not quite a thing you can't talk about, but it's almost a thing you can't talk about. So I'm gonna make a ruling on this right now. You don't talk about Boston College anymore. You understand?
ReplyDeleteSo what's with Boston college?
ReplyDeleteJet, it won't matter much since the kicker'z on a stick.
ReplyDeleteChizik seems to admire the way OSU works. The Cowboys disembowled his ISU team last year.
ReplyDeleteCan't beat em? Hire em!
Do you guys think it is fair? you know, the Boston College thing? I mean, is it even legal? And if it is, is it still ethical?
ReplyDeleteIt's the Reverse Eltoro!
ReplyDeleteIf we can't beat ya, we'll hire ya!
Jay that happened a lot to Chiz...there's not enough room for all those coaches.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Boston College thing?
ReplyDeleteWhere is BigDaddy today?
ReplyDeleteIf Chizik hires coaches from every team that destroyed his team, then we are in for a lot more assistant coaches
ReplyDeleteBC? Really?
ReplyDeleteThis is what we're going to discuss? I'd never reprimand a man of your considerable reputation, Michael, but hasn't this already been debated to a crisp?
BC's been debated?
ReplyDeleteOSU may not have made that great of impression on him as much as Chiz hires one and one says you need two. Then Chiz hires Roof and whats the odds that Roof's DL coach is coaching at where???? OSU. What's the odds? I guess they are pretty good uh.
ReplyDeleteEnough about BC. More importantly, what's all this I hear about sax and violins on tv?
ReplyDeleteSome people like their debates crispy.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much losing these guys sets Gundy/OSU back?
ReplyDelete
