Hey everyone. I have six days remaining in my Gannett-mandated furlough.
See Sunday's entry for more details.
Please feel free to discuss issues as usual in the comment section. I hate this it has come to this, but it has. I blame unsavory lending institutions.
Fight the power!
Still the loneliest number.

ReplyDeletenot a single sentence in local papers today (or their on line web sites) re: Tommy Thigpen leaving UNC for Auburn.
ReplyDeleteQuatro
ReplyDeleteYou all are nuts.
ReplyDeleteThigpen is a good hire for Auburn. Sounds like he'll be adding more firepower to the team's recruiting arsenal.
Chizik et al. clearly will upgrade the talent level. Can they actually turn those players into a better team? We shall see.
THT, is college football covered at all in that area during college basketball season?I always figured the football coach at UNC feels like the basketball coach at AU.
ReplyDeleteCriminal - our fearless leader made us this way. You should meet him next week when he returns from exile.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think Tommy Thigpen is an excellent hire. I think he can coach. We know he can recruit.
Silly paper up here so focused on basketball that they don't have any news about his departure.
UNC did one heck of a job in recruiting this season. I had no idea.
ReplyDeletedepressed - there was equal coverage of football/basketball the day after signing day. Essentially no football coverage before or since.
ReplyDeleteHappy President's Day Hotties!! Does anyone know if Jay's furlough will extend beyond the Lady's home game against UGA this Sunday?
ReplyDeleteI'll try to get over what I perceive as a missed opportunity re: Bill Clark. Cowboy warned me...
ReplyDeleteHere's the mention or coach Thigpen online:
ReplyDeleteInside Carolina
gatiger - perhaps the Chiz can study lots of Bill Clark game film and steal a few tricks.
ReplyDeletegatiger, I second that thought on Clark. Very happy with the coaches that were hired, but I was hoping Clark was in the mix also. Cowboy, apologies for doubting your view on Clark. You were dead-on.
ReplyDeleteThigpen did a great job of getting in-state talent to UNC, this is key because A) UNC has always had trouble retaining in-state talent over out-of-state schools, B) UNC had an issue a decent shot of losing lesser in-state talent to NCState which had been the strongest program in football until Wake Forest's little surge.
ReplyDeleteAll of these hurdles in someway are similar to Auburn's. I hope he can help change that. Lolley was promoted to because of his Gadsden area connections...I guess Chiz wants to make inroads in area.
As I understand it, Jay will be covering the AU-UGA women's game on the 22nd.
ReplyDeletenothing on Thigpen at Raleigh News and Observer, Durham Sun, or The Daily Tar Heel.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine an AU or UA-T ass't leaving and not a single sentence about it at all?
People's priorities up here are all messed up ;-)
I would have like to see him (Clark) there as well, but he seemed to be shooting me straight. I will see him later this week and ask if he was ever contacted. Sounds like he must not have been in the mix.
ReplyDeleteyes Criminal, I seem to remember Jay GT saying something to that effect before heading to Elba.
ReplyDeleteTarheel- Does UNC even acknowledge they have a football team with Basketball going on?
ReplyDeleteThere was a time not that long ago that hiring/firing of position assistants wasn't that big of a deal.
ReplyDeleteWar Thigpen
ReplyDeleteJhag again ... guy cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time they didn't make 300K+ also.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make 300k.
ReplyDeletegood point tc and good morning jhag
ReplyDeleteEddie - no
did y'all see the story where coaches are having to take furloughs? I didn't realize Gannett's influence was so strong
Criminal, I'd settle for half that.
ReplyDeleteDennis Erickson will lose almost 21K of his salary via furlough.
ReplyDeleteHere is THT's link.
ReplyDeleteSo Crim, you think Lebo bought another yr with this latest "W"? I tend to agree, but I would like to win 3 more this yr if possible.
ReplyDeleteI think MS ST is one of the better teams in the SEC. Varnado (sp?) was a monster on Sat. If his shot was on, he could have scored 30. AU didn't have a real answer for him.
as long as we're expressing income wishes..
ReplyDeleteI would like Mr Gates to give me $10,000,000 so I could live off the interest, even if it was in a checking account. I would just sit at home and blog all day, sort of like now, only rich.
I think Lebo is safe now for sure.
ReplyDeleteBut what do I know?
ReplyDeleteGood point!
ReplyDeleteyou know blog secrets CT; nice work on the link. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone sees Mon, please ask her for an Oku update.
ReplyDeleteAlso, any idea whne we'll know about Rollison's elig? I don't think he sees the field at AU next yr either way, but I'd really like to see him on campus and working with the team. It makes me nervous when they go to JUCO or prep school.
Will,
ReplyDeleteTo avoid undue stress and disappointment, plan on learning Rollison's status a week after classes start fall semester. That would be typical behavior for NCAA Clearinghouse. If we learn earlier, it will just be a surprise, and hopefully a pleasant one.
oh, and I agree with you on the prep/JUCO concerns, a la the Ole Miss RB whose name I've already stricken from the book of life and replaced with that of DeAngelo Benton. Then there's Jermaine Johnson, who also needs to be stricken from the book.
ReplyDeleteRollison already reported on his facebook that he would qualify.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the updates Michael and THT.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you read it on Al Gore's Intertubes, it HAS to be true. I find that to especially be the case where FB is concerned.
ReplyDeleteAnyone think AU men could make the NIT this yr? If they win 3 or 4 more games they could have a shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info CT. It will be good to see Jay in his natural habitat again. Especially during this anticipated battle for redemption. Do you think we will reach UT numbers for this game?
ReplyDeleteRumors swirling that Oku should announce tomorrow, i sure hope so, take me out of my misery or make me happy.
ReplyDeleteWhere are these rumors swirling, jhag?
ReplyDeleteAU/UGA women ... not Tennessee numbers, no.
I was surprised by how much trouble Auburn had at MSU yesterday. That was a close one.
SIAP, but the bio on Thigpen is intriquing:
ReplyDelete- Starred as an LB from '89-92
- Picked in the 5th round of the 1993 NFL draft by an NFC team who had missed the playoffs the previous season
- The team that drafted him made the playoffs as a wildcard in his rookie season, won their first round game but lost to a division winner in round 2
- Began his coaching career at a 1-AA school
- Returned to his alma mater to coach his former position a few years ago
Every one of the above facts is also true about James Willis.
What's the deal with the rumors on Thigpen having problems with fellow assistants at UNC?
ReplyDeleteI actually know Scott Fountain. He coached with Chiz at Iowa State and was the one coach Rhoades was going to retain. Rivals says he's going "to fill an off the field administrative position" and the Iowa State fans say he's going to be somehow tied to TE coaching. I bet some of the other LA Hotties know him too.
Make that 'intriguing'.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Thigpen was drafted by the Giants at #123. . .four picks after Willis was selected by the Packers.
Freaky.
Freep if full of Freaky factoids. That's weird.
ReplyDeleteMonica- ok, you have my attention. Whence came said rumors? Or were you just trying to extend the parallel between Thigpen and Traitor?
FYI Scott Fountain HUGE Bama fan family
ReplyDeleteTHT - Greg was reading me that information from an Al.com article and he's looking for it again so I can post the link.
ReplyDeleteThigpen coming to Auburn does not mirror Willis move to bama. If Thigpen left for NC State then I could see the traitor tag from UNC fans. That is what gets Willis dead in my book. If goes anywhere else but bama.
ReplyDeletetc - having grown up near UNC, I don't think any Thigpen move, or even a UNC basketball ass't move, would elicit the response Willis achieved by his traitorous action. I think the closest would have been if Phil Ford (UNC hero and former ass't) had left to join Coach K's staff 8 miles thither. Of course, Phil Ford isn't a lowlife scum, so he didn't pull a Willis.
ReplyDeleteWill - I don't know anything about Oku. I've lumped him in that pile with Bryce Brown. As long as Brian Butler has his "mentor" claws in those fellas, I'd say there's no telling where they'll land, what they'll do or how long they'll last.
ReplyDeleteUnsavory lending institutions are jeopardising my solvency.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that the coaching staff is full and credible. I think Chiz said it something like...."now it is time to re-recruit our existing players". Continue the discipline that Tubs maintained, get buy-in from the players and employ new and intelligent offensive schemes.
Another very interesting Spring Camp coming up.
Oh heavens, I didn't realize Pastor Brian Butler was also David Oku's spiritual advisor. Should I make a tax deductible donation to the Holy Church of Potentialplayers?
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Oku was involved in that same mess either. Bryce Brown just seems like a handful of problems to me, he's talented but could end up being a cancer on the team (T.O. like). I wish Oku would decide either way. The longer this takes, the more discouraged I get.
ReplyDeleteOku is in with Butler? vomit
ReplyDeleteMon- I will be heading to the mountain state in a few days
Hoopie,
ReplyDeleteActually, the new staff has increased discipline standards. Can't say all the players are excited about this, but they want to win and get to the next level.
I think Chizik is introducing a whistle, ferrets, and military style training to the team similar to the manner John Kimble got control of his kindergarten class. Discipline indeed.
ReplyDelete"It's not a tumor!"
ReplyDeleteHarrison - You decided on Snowshoe right?
ReplyDeleteMichael, which player do you think will come back with the "I'm not a policeman, I'm a princess!" excuse.
ReplyDeleteOh well, Greg can't find the sentence he read about rumors of Thigpen/other UNC assistants not getting along. Sorry, no linkage. That's just how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok, Mon. I couldn't find it either.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the strict military discipline in Stripes because I like Manfred Mann... get down and give me 20 doo wah diddies
ReplyDeleteIf you use Turbo Tax here's a great discount for you. You can get your federal and state efiled for less than $50. I hope nobody out there is using something like H&R Block. There are several places to prepare your taxes yourself for free. You can also have someone else prepare your taxes for you at no cost at a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA). To locate the nearest VITA site, call 1-800-829-1040.
ReplyDeleteFor the Turbo Tax discount click on this link and then click on Visitor Entry. You'll sign in Turbo Tax as you normally do and the discount will be applied when you pay.
25% Turbo Tax DiscountE
yes Mon. we willbe arriving in snowshoeon Thursday, after approx. 10 hours of driving
ReplyDeleteHarrison - I recommend taking your private plane for this trip.
ReplyDeleteI traded it in for a helicopter, but it only hold 4people and we have 6 going. Plus I don't know how to fly

ReplyDeleteSomeone sent me the postings of a big bammer the other day. He kept referring to Tennessee as UTK. Does anyone else find this absolutely moronic? It's like Junior Samples making fun of Lulu for being fat.
ReplyDeleteI let this homeless guy do mine. I just give him a couple beers and a sandwich and we're even. I usually get back like 42,000 dollars. He'spretty good
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHarrison, I would be careful if I were you. I too regularly used a homeless guy to do my taxes. But then one day I got bored and decided to follow this fella around for a few days. Well, it turns out the guy lived in a house! That $41,000 rebate I got for letting a homeless guy do my taxes would be in serious jeopardy if the IRS found out about it.
ReplyDeleteSo I burned his house down. Problem solved.
you dodged a bullet there michael.
ReplyDeleteShane Battier apparently delays long distance buzzer beater shots until after the horn sounds so they won't count against his FG percentage.
ReplyDeleteWrong and shame on you, Peter.
ReplyDeleteVITA is NOT just for very low income people. Some VITA sites have no income limit. The only income limit associated with a VITA site are those for qualifying for the Earned Income Tax Credit. Some VITA sites are even strictly for Senior Citizens and are administered by AARP.
Turbo Tax is not for people who have a W-2 and nothing else. Turbo Tax is very user friendly (more so than the software used by the IRS tax preparers) and has a very, VERY Simple process of walking you through your estimated deductions and credits to tell you in advance if it's more advantageous for you to take your standard deduction or to itemize.
Harrison - good call on the decision to drive. Hope y'all have a great time.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I love me some TurboTax. 100% agree with Monica.
ReplyDeleteI got Turbo Tax confused with Turbo Lax before. The returns from Turbo Lax aren't monetary at all, although they are liquid.
ReplyDeleteWell let me just say that Turbotax is just like sex. You need to know what goes where and why.
ReplyDeleteI also hear the turnaround time from Turbo Lax is much lower than Turbo Tax.
ReplyDeleteyes, you get your "return" in minutes
ReplyDeleteI'm the director of 11 VITA sites and as a volunteer tax preparer it's not your decision to turn away someone. If you're allowed to do so then your site is not being properly administered.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what they say about someone who represents themselves in legal matters...
nah, ballin. just find an empty box and plug it in. its easy.
ReplyDeleteexactly....
ReplyDeleteCriminal Type ... I just reached out to you on yahoo.
ReplyDeleteI hate the newspapers that have forced Jay G. into furlough!
ReplyDeleteI wish you people at The Advertiser could get with the f**king program and modernize the newspaper.

speaking of taxes, does anybody want to do mine for free? .....anyone? .....anybody?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like our strategy for recruiting the state of Alabama is like playing a great running team...put 8 in the box!
ReplyDeleteLuper said he plans to have seven assistants recruit Alabama (8 w/Chiz), five recruit Georgia and three or four recruit Florida. Auburn will also continue to recruit Texas and Oklahoma, and maybe up the East Coast, too. Obviously, coaches will have more than one area.
Luper on Recruiting
He also said that the current RB Brandon Jacobs reminds him of the previous RB Brandon Jacobs!! I'm glad they are aiming to keep him at that position instead of LB.
great quotes in that article from both guys. I think Rocker is going to eventually have some great DL's at Auburn
ReplyDeleteYes, all good indeed, but what does he have to say about HABOTN Puppet Hour?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he'd be in favor of its execution, just like John McKay.
ReplyDeleteMrs THT just called and says we've got to completely clean the house because a realtor is bringing someone over TOMORROW who may want to buy it. What should I do?
ReplyDeleteOh, BTW, our house isn't for sale!
We filed 10 days ago with Turbo Tax.
ReplyDeleteLarge sum of money added into our account TODAY. I'm impressed.
I bet Jay hates that he missed the Luper and Rocker interviews today.
ReplyDeletePoop on the kitchen floor. That'll make them leave real fast. Unless you actually want to sell the house. In that case, clean up any poop that might be on any floor.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can't execute Puppet Hour. It is an ideal, like freedom. You can't kill that off.
I certainly hate that JayGT missed today's interviews. For starters, the write-up would have been awesome (no offense to CG who does a good job). More importantly, I would have been spared the risk of scrolling to far and seeing the typical al.com garbage comments.
ReplyDeleteYIKES! SHE'S HOME. BYE!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, he would have gotten paid for it. F'n newspapers.
ReplyDeleteI would much rather have JGT's perspective on the interviews.
ReplyDeleteJay knows what the peoples want, that's fo sure.
ReplyDeletewhy doesn't Jay post on here as somebody else like a puppet would do
ReplyDeleteI think he probably does that. I am thinking either Kristina or fsj is Jay.
ReplyDeletei used topost in full clown makeup, but nobody seemed to care so i stopped. now i post in adult diapers, for obvious reasons
ReplyDeleteJust a recruiting recap. I thought this was interesting and pretty impressive for Chiz to have gotten this many quality recruits in such a short time.

thanks mon. I have always felt misunderstood, but there are a select few who may get me.
ReplyDeleteI told ya so Dad!
OK peter - you're always right & I'm always wrong. How's that?
ReplyDeleteAll I was trying to do was offer the hotties a Turbotax discount and other possible resources for tax help.
I read CCL's recruiting strategy comments. Sounds good and I'm sure that will excite the internet fans, but why give out those kind of details to CN$. Why not be more vague with the fans(and thus CN$) to make him use up resources to figger this stuff out?
ReplyDeleteI appreciate coaches wanting to provide details to the insatiable fans in order to gain buy-in, but at some point soon, team privacy needs to rule.

ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure Harrison is always right, actually. Let him be your judge.
ReplyDeleteHarrison, do you have a verdict?
I miss Jay G Tate
ReplyDeleteMcheila, how did it come down to me or faker being Jay G? I'm not saying youre wrong...just asking...
ReplyDeletei'm not real sure what i'm judging, but my gut feeling is that no one really paid much attention to either one's argument.
ReplyDeleteCASE DISMISSED!
Harrison - Is it true what they say about judges and their robes?
ReplyDeleteHarrison, that was the worst ruling ever. You didn't even decide anything, you just made a comment. What kind of crap judge are you? Boy, was I wrong to appoint you judge.
ReplyDeleteKristeena, it is pretty obvious why I say the things I say.
Hoopie,
ReplyDeleteNot sure I understand what difference it makes if you, I or Nick Saban know what areas our coaches are recruiting. I doubt their recruiting strategies have anything to do with who they are going up against.
Also, if they did need that info, they probably already got it from James Willis.
Look Harrison, I am really sorry about that last post. I just get all upset when things don't go the way I expect them too. I am sorry for being so........... wait for it...... judgmental!!! wakka wakka wakka!
ReplyDeletemikhail, did you watch the Anna Nicole proceeding when she died? I don't even remember what the issue was, but I'll never forget that judge...not sure he ruled on anything either, but it was worth watching online at work.

Wow, lots of new names here...ausome! (Bowden-era slogan, sorry if it brings back bad memories). I haven't posted lately because frankly, I have not been able to come up with any comments that would improve the HABOTN content (and I will be father to child #2 Thursday at the latest-congrats Michael, I will soon be sharing your sleepless nights). Thanks Jay for not taking me off the "notable newcomers" list. Jay's furlough has made me ponder my love of Auburn football. Not how much I love it, but how important is it to me. Given the current state of our economy, I have realized it is not really important at all. Seriously, I now really don't care about the whims of 17 and 18 year old kids, nor how they perform on the field. All I know is that Jay and millions of others just like him are (by no choice nor fault of their own) are sitting at home wondering about their future and the future of their families...and I am about to bring a new daughter into this mess....The whole thing just really sucks. Hopefully all this will work out for Jay and the rest of us. The HABOTN is truly a great place for Auburn people to break bread together, and while I don't know about the rest of you, I for one would gladly pay for the priveledge (hint at a possible new income stream Jay G., if for nothing else to offset that lost from these stinking "furloughs").
ReplyDeleteIf I'm in the Senate, and last I heard I was, I don't remember voting to confirm Harrison as a judge
ReplyDeleteHow was Bonita?
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you landed safely, Jet.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice, but I've been ill the whole time I've been here ... skipping a dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteStopped by my home away from home to see how the HOTICIANS are doing.
Sick? That sucks. It was beach weather today!
ReplyDeleteJim/Scranton.....Since Traitor has been gone for a month or two, I'm guessing he doesn't know the recruiting alignmentsnow that the coaching staff is full. CN$,et all will eventually be able to know who-what-where, but why make it easy.
ReplyDeleteCN$ hired Willis(handling LA area for AU) to replace his recruiter that had been handling LA. There is a lot of spin associated with recruiting....and CN$ is one of the more intense at it....the more you know your opponent, the easier to develop spin.
Fans aren't "owed" explanations of strategies, etc. and should feel honored when coaches reveal such. Most top coaches don't give out details. CN$ doesn't give out any details. Mark Richt hardly does any more...he has learned better.
I'm not sayng this was a horrible mistake. I'm saying that the coach/fan courtship should be over and the coaches need to start holding closer to the vest.
I love how FCJW is now just "Traitor."
ReplyDeleteFCJW is too endearing.
ReplyDeleteBig Bang or Star Trek?
ReplyDeleteDecisions decisions...
This may be my favorite quote from CTR...
ReplyDelete``We're Auburn, and we've got something to stand for.''
Heck yeah we do!
Not that its suprising, but I think this is telling of the coaching staff's worries about the rotation this year:
ReplyDelete"Pitching wise, as a coach, sometimes you feel good because you know who your starters are, but then you go three weeks into the season, and all of a sudden, things change drastically."
From last weeks presser

ReplyDeleteG'mornin Hotties. So is today the day that Oku and his mentor/benefits advisor finally conclude negotiations and reveal the winner?
ReplyDeleteMr. Oku, I apologize for the snide remarks. We realize that you are 17-18 and this decision seems monumental to you. In reality...you probably are not experienced enough to make a perfect decision and after a while even the advisors don't help anymore. Just go with your gut. My gut says that AUBURN is a great school with great coaches, students, fans and facilities...hey....I want to go to school there...oh..uh.....I already graduated from AU. Mr. Oku
come join the Auburn Family.
How long before the NCAA/Presidents get together and impose a mandatory late signing date?
As bad as everything was last year, Auburn still ranked 10th nationally in attendance at football games. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteGranted, I'm pretty sure that's based on Ticket Sales, not butts in seats.

ReplyDeleteKathy, if the article does, in fact, communicate that he is holding out longer, than I'm to the point where I don't want this kid coming to Auburn. I mean everyone has a deadline to make a decision, why is he any different?
ReplyDeleteAnd forgive us our trespasses because we did some really bad stuff plotting against UAT but we think it's OK because UAT is evil. Just in case, we'd like some forgiveness.

Facebook is so stalkery. I sent Coach Thigpen a War Eagle message the other night and I became FB friends with his wife. She wants me to fill her in on living in Auburn. I'm not sure what to tell her. I'm afraid I'd scare them into staying in Chapel Hill.
ReplyDeleteHere's article in today's local paper about Thigpen and Lovett
Kathy - they look SOOOOOOOOOOO much better in navy blue. WAR EAGLE!!!
