TB said...: First possession will be big for the utes. need points.; 9:08 PM
Jet said...: Curtiz Luper as LB coach?

That would be bizarre.; 9:09 PM
Kathy said...: I can't read the article. The teaser said he could move to the defensive side. Has Auburn released an official statement yet? He did coach with Chizik.; 9:10 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: That's got to be a typo or just a brain-rooty-toot.

I'd wait for more stories to see what's up but helluva hire IMO.

The guys at T. Boone St were worried last yuear he'd jump to TAMU - and AU must have something better to offer if he jump to our program over the Gaggies.; 9:10 PM
tigerfan44 said...: I mentioned he did coach db's at a&m.; 9:10 PM
choochooau said...: this is the most fun I have had since Auburn had those 11 sacks in the IB. WhoooHoo!; 9:11 PM
Kathy said...: So do you think Saban will lift Andre's suspension at the half?; 9:11 PM
Jet said...: If he can reel in fish, he can coach cheerleaders for all I care.; 9:12 PM
Kathy said...: Utah didn't score in the 2nd quarter. They need to come out strong this half. They get the ball with a 15-yard penalty.; 9:13 PM
Will said...: So we hire this guy from Okey St to coach LBs...

This just in, we have offered Mike Leach a job coaching D Line.; 9:13 PM
AUMom said...: Starting on the 45, nice; 9:16 PM
Miller said...: Mathews also has up a blurb saying that he's hearing we might get Trooper Taylor also! Now hauling in Trooper Taylor would be HUGE!; 9:16 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Its not odd for assistants to change positions but to switch sides?

That's like Terry tader-Tot Bowden roamin the sidelines again - unorthadoxy.; 9:16 PM
Jet said...: Trooper Taylor would be, uh, hugemongus.; 9:17 PM
Jet said...: that's not good.; 9:17 PM
AUMom said...: That was not good.; 9:17 PM
Kathy said...: I thought Trooper Taylor interviewed with Miami.; 9:17 PM
Kathy said...: Not a good start for Utah.; 9:18 PM
Howard said...: oops - nice fumble. I just caught up on the DVR. The first half was great, but it's not starting out too well this half.; 9:18 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Isn't Trooper Taylor the coach in waiting at KY??; 9:18 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Nothing official from Auburn.; 9:19 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Joker Phillips is the UK guy.; 9:20 PM
Jet said...: Trooper ... co-OC at Okie State ... former WR coach and dir. player development at UT.; 9:20 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: O; 9:21 PM
Kathy said...: Bama taking over. It was good while it lasted.; 9:22 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: So, the cable man was here for 6 hrs so I had to pull out the DVDs -- Hadn't seen SNATCH in a while.

Great flick.; 9:22 PM
Jet said...: Game's over ... and they haven't even taken the lead yet.; 9:23 PM
Kathy said...: They got no pressure on Wilson then.; 9:23 PM
Anonymous said...: Here is Utah since the first quarter.; 9:24 PM
AUMom said...: Pain meds are taking over.

I'll bow to the inevitability of the Tide and go to bed.; 9:24 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: So, I can get UTes plus the 9.5 still for a million?; 9:25 PM
Miller said...: Trooper also used to coach RB's in the SEC... just a thought...; 9:25 PM
Will said...: Tee hee, snicker, snicker.....

Say that again for me Chris in Inverness!

What's this about Troop Taylor; 9:25 PM
Zteven said...: Kenny Stabler in New Orleans is like Michael Vick in the PetSmart... How many livers does he have, you think?; 9:26 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: So, did I miss that Kevin Steele's headed to Clemson after this game.

To take the SAME JOB?; 9:26 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: So Taylor is going to leave Okla. State as co-coordinator to come coach ... TBs or WRs at Auburn?; 9:26 PM
Monica said...: If bama wins I'm canceling my Allstate insurance.; 9:27 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Guys, this is the most unimportant bowl game I can remember.

Taylor's not coming to AU Gilligan.; 9:28 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Monica I'm sure Allstate wasn't expecting that backlash when they signed up.; 9:28 PM
Anonymous said...: Anyone else notice Mount Cody isn't in there much. He has size but needs some speed to play against teams that move fast like Utah.; 9:29 PM
Monica said...: LOL Mike...Think they'll miss my premium?; 9:29 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Ummm, yeah.

Luper coached defense at Texas A&M. that's a fact.

But it was Texas A&M Commerce - whatever the hell that is.

Anonymous said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 9:32 PM
Howard said...: man, I love me some missed tackles.; 9:32 PM
Monica said...: Mike you must know how expensive insurance is in West Virginia.

Insurance. What a racket.; 9:33 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Zteven good one about liver.
Did Andre Smith play defense for tide?; 9:34 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: has bama won a second half all year?; 9:35 PM
Monica said...: I love it when Arenas doesn't make it past the 30.; 9:36 PM
Miller said...: Yes, He's Co-OC at OK St (Taylor), but both OC's are only in title only as Gundy calls the plays... and supposedly (being mentioned on OSU websites too) that Taylor is unhappy about the situation. He could come to AU as one of those position coaches and recruiting coord. and could take over as OC when Malzahn moves on to a HC job in a couple years. (we all know he will).

Money would talk in this situation. I'm not saying it WILL happen... but I won't slam the door on the possibility that it COULD happen.; 9:36 PM
Monica said...: PetSmart? harsh lol; 9:36 PM
Howard said...: just hit him!; 9:37 PM
Monica said...: Dang. They missed a sack.; 9:37 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: I know too much about the craziness in WV Monica. My cell barely works there, can't get a damned mobile internet connection for any amount of money and the roads suck!; 9:38 PM
Monica said...: I taught I saw a putty tat.; 9:38 PM
Kathy said...: Monica, the announcers gave Utah the 5th sack.; 9:38 PM
Monica said...: Why on earth do you come here??????????????????????; 9:38 PM
TB said...: Let's go Utah! Let's go Utah!!; 9:39 PM
Monica said...: Kathy - I thought I heard them say they had 4 sacks in the first half. Go figure.; 9:39 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: I consult for a company that has locations all over WV...yes including the Hunt.; 9:40 PM
tigerfan44 said...: #10 will light you up.; 9:41 PM
Monica said...: Well, I want to hear all the details! You can trust lil ole me. :-D; 9:41 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Monica, I want to be a consultant. Sounds cushy.; 9:42 PM
Jet said...: Bad pass interference call ... horrible.; 9:42 PM
TB said...: Did you all now JPW's mom was a cheerleader for Alabama. wow didn't know that!; 9:42 PM
Anonymous said...: Way to go Van Tiffin.; 9:43 PM
Monica said...: You can be a consultant, 44.

Another miss by Tiffin!; 9:43 PM
TB said...: wide left wide left; 9:44 PM
wes said...: tell me more about JPW's alabama roots...please.; 9:44 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Tell me more Mon.; 9:44 PM
wartiger said...: I know it is immature and I should root for the SEC but got UTES!!!!; 9:45 PM
Monica said...: 44 - In what field would like to be a consultant? What is your expertise? (and why are you asking me?); 9:45 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Check out my travel schedule before you say cushy 44. 35+ weeks a year working somewhere other than here.; 9:45 PM
TB said...: All we need are the twins in the hounds tooth hats and my night will be complete.; 9:45 PM
Monica said...: It's not immature. It's called an in state rivalry and this is part of the fun.; 9:46 PM
Monica said...: I only had to travel about 12 weeks of the year and that was just enough to be fun, but even that was too much after about 6 years.; 9:47 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Wasn't that cute the way they put their finger together to make a big U? lmao; 9:47 PM
tigerfan44 said...: My bad Monica , post was running together. Some one else is consultant.; 9:48 PM
Monica said...: That's ok, 44! lol; 9:48 PM
TB said...: I travel about once a month.; 9:49 PM
wartiger said...: Thanks Mon...I live in the state that is losing...it is sad..no matter how you look at it...WAR UTES!!; 9:51 PM
Will said...: If UAT was playing Russia, who would you pull for?; 9:51 PM
TB said...: Go Russia!!; 9:52 PM
Zteven said...: Wartiger, hating those inbred's from across the state is the only civilized thing to do! ;); 9:53 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Official word from Auburn:

AUBURN—Curtis Luper, who has served as Oklahoma State’s running backs
coach for the previous four seasons and the assistant head coach for
player development the last two seasons for the Cowboys, has been named
running backs coach at Auburn, head coach Gene Chizik announced Friday.; 9:53 PM
Monica said...: Beatski Bama!; 9:53 PM

tigerfan44 said...: Jay was brian mattews messing with us.; 9:54 PM
Monica said...: You married a bamer.; 9:55 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I don't know what BMatt was thinking there.; 9:56 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Why do ref's not call holding on bama. No joke.; 9:56 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I was chatting with him earlier. He's sober.; 9:56 PM
Anonymous said...: 44, one word - payola.

LOL; 9:57 PM
TB said...: Well you know sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do. All my boys are Tigers though. She has ruined my first Grand daughter though.; 9:57 PM
TB said...: These all state commericals are a scream!!; 9:58 PM
Kathy said...: TB, I married a Bamer too. He just got home, so I have to cheer on the inside now.; 9:59 PM
Miller said...: Maybe B-Matt has a funky keyboard where the L and the R are beside each other and he accidentally hit the L instead of the R and didn't realize it...

Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt...; 9:59 PM
Will said...: A buddy and I were just talking... is it weird that we enjoy UAT losing almost as much as AU winning?

I hate it when people say I want Bama to win all of their games until they play AU....I want them to lose every time they suit up, in every sporting event in which they compete.

Hey Mon, I almost ended that sent in a preposition, but had to go back an re-type!; 10:00 PM
Will said...: And I'm drunk!; 10:00 PM
TB said...: Kathy its tuff sometimes but for the most part all is ggod.; 10:01 PM
Zteven said...: Theres another for ya, Monica; 10:01 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: ``The opportunity to reconnect with my mentor in Coach Chizik and have the chance coach at a program known as `Running Back U.', was something that I could not pass up," Luper said. ``My coaching philosophy and foundation was established with Coach Chizik 13 years ago at Stephen F. Austin, where we took our initial jobs and arm-in-arm helped the program to the national semifinals."; 10:02 PM
Monica said...: Big Mike you can email me at monica_wareagle@yahoo.com to tell me what kind of consulting and all the rest of your personal information.; 10:02 PM
Howard said...: Jay - thanks for the update. Makes a lot more sense for Curtiz to be the RB coach instead of LB.; 10:03 PM
AUWade said...: Is it just me or do the Utah fans look a little goofy? That's gotta be one strange mix of fanbases down in New Orleans.; 10:03 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Jay you left out the part about Dr. Luper.; 10:03 PM
Kathy said...: Glad to have Coach Luper!; 10:03 PM
Monica said...: Very nice play, Utes.; 10:06 PM
Miller said...: Thanks for those comments from Luper. From everything I have read about him today, he seems like a great person. I like that Chizik seems to be building his staff with, not only great coaches, but impressive people. In true Auburn fashion.; 10:07 PM
Miller said...: Do the bammer players really have houndstooth gloves on? C'mon? Seriously?; 10:07 PM
AUWade said...: A nice drive here would be huge. Go clock!; 10:07 PM
TB said...: 61 yds; 10:09 PM
Monica said...: Does anyone need me to translate Saban's last comments?; 10:09 PM
tigerfan44 said...: GD javey; 10:09 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Is that close mon.; 10:10 PM
Monica said...: 44 gets the gold star!; 10:10 PM
Howard said...: Boy, that Freddie Brown cat is tough to take down. Maybe we can coach up some wide-outs to catch the ball and run through a couple of guys.; 10:10 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I updated and added stuff to the main Luper post from earlier.; 10:11 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: My fiance was commenting on someone's hounds tooth garment being "cute" a couple of days ago. I informed her that ever wearing such would likely cause me to stop talking to her and demand a divorce. I can put up with her as a Georgia girl, but even looking like a Bamzo is unacceptable.; 10:12 PM
Monica said...: JHZ -those your babies in your avatar?; 10:12 PM
Zteven said...: I got the gist of it, Monica. Saban not pleased. Po thang... hehe; 10:12 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Once JPW starts overthrowing receivers, that's a wrap.; 10:12 PM
Monica said...: Way to put your foot down, Peter.; 10:12 PM
Monica said...: Good GRIEF these Utes are fast.; 10:14 PM
Howard said...: Just superman (middle of my 3 boys). The bee is a little Auburn girl over here in S.C. It was her third birthday party.; 10:14 PM
Monica said...: Very sweet picture, JHZ! Precious.; 10:14 PM

HammyAbeer said...: These UTES dont shut it down. Tubs would be running every down here on out.; 10:18 PM
Howard said...: Yup. The Marines actually came to the office to pick them up (7700 toys or so - I've forgotten the exact #). I never did get the link to the news footage, but someone should send out a link this week (which I'll certainly pass on).; 10:18 PM
TB said...: tick tick tick run clock run; 10:18 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: 2+ typos in as many posts means that I'm too tired to be posting here. goodnite hotties.; 10:19 PM
Monica said...: I'd love to see the link. Great job! Made lots of happy little hearts. Goof for you!; 10:20 PM
Zteven said...: That Bammer looked like he was gonna cry... I LOVE IT! OK, I think I might be enjoying this a little too much.; 10:20 PM
Monica said...: ummm Goof = Good :-); 10:20 PM

tigerfan44 said...: Night hotties. Go UTES.; 10:22 PM
michael said...: Is your fiancee Jan Terri, Frankenbummer? Because she doesn't like to part with her hounds tooth very easily.; 10:22 PM
michael said...: I'm glad you are on the dark side, Frankenbummer. Screw SEC pride! Down with the powerful!; 10:23 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: as much as it disappoints me, I am not engaged to Jan Terri.; 10:23 PM
Kathy said...: Just need to keep an eye on Julio. They are going to go for the quick TD now.; 10:24 PM
michael said...: She is probably still available if you are interested. Just let me know and I will track her down.; 10:25 PM
michael said...: More like quick INT, Kathy! Bamma is done, they don't have it in 'em to win!; 10:25 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Powerful? I dunno all about that, but I have a thing against evil, and Tuscaloosa and Gainesville are both breeding grounds of evil.; 10:26 PM
Monica said...: tell him jan terri!; 10:27 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Trouble in paradise.; 10:27 PM
Jet said...: Quentin Groves on the sack for the Utes!!!!; 10:27 PM

At least you were consistent.; 10:28 PM
Miller said...: FUUUUUUUMBLEEE!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAH!! I am loving this!; 10:28 PM

michael said...: FUMBLE! I wasn't far off! Ha!; 10:28 PM
Zteven said...: That was BEAUTIFUL!!!; 10:28 PM
AUWade said...: That should do it. Boo refs on unsportsmanlike conduct! No fun in the Sugar Bowl?; 10:28 PM
Monica said...: Why do all the bama players have such bad acne?; 10:28 PM
Howard said...: You know that if Andre had been able to play, bammer would be up 843-12.; 10:28 PM
Monica said...: thank goodness monica is here to ask the probing questions...; 10:29 PM
Kathy said...: Well Andre should be ashamed of himself for letting his team down.; 10:29 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Let's do the Brody!!!:); 10:29 PM
Howard said...: Run, Utah, Run!; 10:29 PM
Monica said...: LOL jhz - get ready to hear that over and over; 10:29 PM
Unknown said...: So, Utah will be undefeated and will have beaten a team that was ranked at #1 recently. How can you not call Utah the national champs?; 10:29 PM
Miller said...: Is it wrong of me to be enjoying this as much as I am? Does it make me a bad person to revel in the Bammer's misfortune?

Oh, who cares?! Call me a bad person! I am loving this!
Go UTES!; 10:30 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: That was a LAME unsportsmanlike call.; 10:30 PM
michael said...: On the earlier point - yes, Frankenbummer, I hate Florida and Alabama because they are evil, but it is compounded by them being powerful and looking like they will control the SEC for a few years.

I had no problem rooting for LSU or Georgia in years past, but I cannot root for Bama and Florida. Those teams put me in Jet-style hate mode.; 10:30 PM
Jet said...: It's just a contrast with the Utah kids who don't eat chocolate or drink caffeine, Monica.; 10:30 PM
TB said...: Utes are National Champions. At least Golf Digest should vote them so.; 10:30 PM
Howard said...: These refs are from the Big Least, right?; 10:30 PM

Jeremy Eubanks said...: UTAH = National Champs in my book (which holds about as much credibility as some that have been awarded in the past, present, and future).; 10:31 PM
Monica said...: uh oh - Mr. Johnson getting a smidge thugalicious; 10:31 PM
michael said...: KILL!; 10:31 PM

Anonymous said...: $aban is really gonna be PI$$ED..........aight?; 10:32 PM
michael said...: Hey, we were 2004 Gold Digest National Champs. Maybe Utah will also be honored in such a fashion. Probably the Salt Lake City Daily Bugle or something like that will name them NC.; 10:32 PM
Monica said...: If I was that Ute I'd meet McLain after the game and discuss that rude move he just pulled; 10:32 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: DMiller - we are all there! I am enjoying this as much as being there (is that sad?!); 10:32 PM
