The Daily Thread: Saturday

Hey everyone. This is the final day of my Gannett-mandated furlough.

This is good news. Only one more day sans HABOTN content.

I'll be live blogging the AU-UGA women's game on Sunday afternoon. We'll just pick it up from there and get back to speed. Thanks for sticking with me through what actually has been a semi-difficult time.

Fight the power!

Jet said...: When will Auburn do something about the whiny little twirp doing their games on the radio?; 8:52 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: The Honorable Senator from the Gump has my most appreciative appreciation.; 8:52 PM
YoungPJ said...: Lebo should have our players at the coliseum every morning at 6 am shooting free throws for an hour. This should continue until our FT average during games is above the pitiful mark, where it consistently sits these days.; 8:52 PM
Criminal Type said...: Then you just received great "news" on the Caucasian News Network, NoVa.; 8:52 PM

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: riveting television, huh, CT?; 8:53 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: youngpj - i concur. Their FT shooting % is absolutely 100% inexcusable and 100% improvable with some not so veiled threats.; 8:54 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: No X or O on the charity stripe.; 8:54 PM
Criminal Type said...: Larry King isn't a national treasure for nothin'.; 8:54 PM
Jet said...: We do what we can ... are you committed CT to getting us to 400?; 8:55 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Men still making a splash at the pool. Platform diving drags on.; 8:55 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I thought the goal of diving was to not make a splash??? What's going wrong?; 8:57 PM
Criminal Type said...: Once we hit 200, I tend to get anxious.

Sounds a lot like Jay, actually.; 8:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: josey wales on history channel; 8:57 PM
Jet said...: Hugs and kisses?

When an AU player hugs the free throw line, you can kiss hope goodbye.; 8:58 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: "It just breaks my heart to tell people they suck."

-Dolly Parton on Larry King Live; 8:59 PM
Criminal Type said...: I disagree that Dolly Parton is "ageless."; 8:59 PM
Jet said...: I figured it out ...

Lebo hired one of his buddies from those Capital One commercials as the free throw coordinator ... unfortunately it's guy who an expert with a catapault.; 8:59 PM
Criminal Type said...: Peter, it was actually: "suuuuuck."; 9:00 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: agree, CT, I think she has an age, for sure.; 9:00 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Free Throw Coordinator...is that kinda like a life coach?; 9:01 PM
Criminal Type said...: Totally unrelated, but ...

I never get tired of listening to Ben Jobe talk about Bobby Phills.

That will happen tonight on ESPN2 via "Black Magic."; 9:01 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Wait, DL Hughley follows Larry King on CNN? Seriously? No wonder I don't watch this network.; 9:02 PM
Jet said...: When I am wrong, I am man enough to admit it.

I thought they were stupid ... now, I want one.

I'VE GOT TO GIVE ME A SNUGGIE!!; 9:03 PM
QuickDraw said...: Anybody old enough to remember Rick barry shooting FTs "granny style"?; 9:04 PM
Criminal Type said...: We're headed toward a good finish in the Nationwide race, ESPN2.; 9:05 PM
Jet said...: Oklahoma's Blake Griffin has 4 points, 2 fouls and one concussion. He's out for the game, and I don't think he knows where he is.; 9:05 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy; 9:06 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Great idea, Quicky,

Lebo should make them all shoot FTs granny style for one game. I'd be willing to be that the gym would be busy early and often practicing.; 9:06 PM
michael said...: Black Magic was a great special.

Jet, heckuva run on the bball game.; 9:07 PM
Jet said...: LSU out rebounds us 41-29

Lebo: "we played our butts off ... this should help us down the road. BLAH BLAH BLAH."

Nothing earth shattering.; 9:07 PM

Jet said...: Michael ... I got your 400 in sight ... now bring it home.; 9:08 PM
michael said...: I love the Bob Knight tirade about there being no such thing as a good loss, how you learn nothing from losing, etc.; 9:08 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Kyle Busch isn't running a full Nationwide schedule is he?; 9:08 PM
QuickDraw said...: Barry used to hit 90+% shooting that way. Wilt the Stilt did it too because he couldnt make them otherwise.; 9:09 PM
Jet said...: Why would we shoot granny style when we already look like Lou Holtz shooting them?; 9:09 PM
Jet said...: Erin Andrews looking particularly fetching tonight.; 9:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i made 23 in a row once granny style and I'm no basketball player. (neither was my granny); 9:10 PM
michael said...: Maybe we are getting it all wrong. Maybe Lebo should make players spend more time in practice working on not getting fouled instead of working on free throws. Play to your team's strengths!; 9:11 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Who cares what they look like, as long as the ball gets in the bucket; 9:11 PM
QuickDraw said...: Vot probably would be better granny style; 9:12 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: launch our shots from beyond half court? I bet they wouldn't foul us then.; 9:12 PM
Jet said...: Jeff Lebo as Delores O'Riordan ...

"Do ya have to ... Do ya have to ... let it linger?"

Tells Rod at least 6 times don't let this one linger.; 9:12 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Kyle Busch wins two races in the same day. Woo-hoo!; 9:14 PM
QuickDraw said...: over the head backwards would be entertaining. Maybe pack the arena.; 9:14 PM
Criminal Type said...: Can't stand Ky. Busch, but that's some impressive stuff.; 9:15 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: might as well...its already become a spectacle.; 9:15 PM
Jet said...: White-out night on Wednesday night vs. Ole Miss.

It'll look like dandruff against the brown seats of BEMC.; 9:16 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: No, CT? Kid can drive. Everyone loves a winner...well, everyone but NASCAR fans.; 9:16 PM
michael said...: If I knew who Kyle Busch was, I'll bet I couldn't stand him. But he drives cars for a living, thus he interests me none.; 9:17 PM
Criminal Type said...: Carl Edwards reminds me of Gabe Gross.; 9:17 PM
michael said...: I hate winners too. I guess my nickname should be NASCAR Fan.; 9:18 PM
michael said...: Kyle Busch SUX!; 9:18 PM
Criminal Type said...: I like Earnhardt and Stewart and their associates.; 9:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: SEC Men's Swimming & Diving FINAL SCORE:

Quitstina said...: Oh lawd...go away for a few hours..come back and you guys are talking nascar?; 9:20 PM
Criminal Type said...: I love the graphic:

"1st win this year"

... it's the season's second race.; 9:20 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I like Richard THE KING Petty and Cale Yarborough; 9:20 PM
Criminal Type said...: Hey, Kristina, great to see you tonight.; 9:21 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: of course. "I can't stand Kyle Busch" = Junior Junkie

You know what I like. Toyota as the best American car.; 9:21 PM
FSJ said...: Has anybody ever done less with more than Dale Earnhardt Jr?

That's about all I know about NASCAR; 9:21 PM
michael said...: Christeena, you know you love NASCAR!; 9:21 PM
michael said...: I have never owned an American car. I felt a little guilty when all of them were like, "We are screwed," a couple of months ago. Then I remembered the consumerreports.com reviews, and I stopped feeling guilty.; 9:22 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 19 linebackers getting beat by Utah comes to mind, but I think Junior takes it by a nose.; 9:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: FSJ -you're right. Dale Earnhardt didn't show good sportsmanship, therefore I don't care much for Junior. Having said that, I've never watched a nascar race, or any other auto race.; 9:23 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: okay, that was dumb. I retract, but don't delete.; 9:23 PM
Criminal Type said...: If you have a few extra seconds and really like narrative storytelling, read this interview with Ben Jobe.

It's from Huntsville Times' long-timer John Pruett.; 9:24 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I wonder how pissed off the Prius owners in Massachusetts are going to be when they put GPS chips on everyone's car and charge by the mile.; 9:25 PM

Quitstina said...: leahciM, yes why don't you call the roundtable and tell them I'm a bama fan while you're at it...; 9:27 PM
FSJ said...: ahem; 9:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: PeterF - that was quick, and funny, at least from an AU fan's perspective.
With apologies to our friend, FSJ, for a laugh at his alma mater's expense.; 9:29 PM
Quitstina said...: Criminal, I have enjoyed your posts this week btw. You remind me of someone, but I cant quite put my finger on it.; 9:31 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: y'all take it on up to 400. I'll be back in a little while to help if you need it. Right now I'm going to read an article about barbecue and watch Josey Wales kill one last damn yankee.; 9:31 PM
Quitstina said...: Gee...something in your throat, faker? Maybe you should see a doctor.; 9:33 PM
Jet said...: Criminal ...

I understand John Pruett is recovering from a recent heart attack ... he's doing well, considering.; 9:33 PM
Criminal Type said...: Ben Jobe is so awesome.

I'll see if I can get an interview with him set up this summer. I'll post it on the HABOTN.

He won't say a word about Auburn, but you'll love it just the same. Guy knows the world better than anyone I've ever heard.; 9:34 PM
Criminal Type said...: I didn't know that about Mr. Pruett.

He wasn't the state's Heisman rep this season. Missed talking with him.; 9:35 PM
Jet said...: Maybe Jay G will bust out a midnight thread ... kinda like New Year's; 9:35 PM
Criminal Type said...: Don't bet on it.; 9:36 PM
michael said...: Christeena: I know you are not a bama fan because it would take one of them longer than the 7 minutes to figure out how to spell my name backwards.; 9:37 PM
Jet said...: Blake Griffin now vaguely aware that there is a sport called basketball.; 9:37 PM
Criminal Type said...: Jay said he and Wifey kick it on Saturday nights. I bet he's planning to watch some movies tonight ...; 9:38 PM
Jet said...: A friend of mine out of state told me that they were going to a back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back of the Best Picture nominees.

I said, "Court order?"; 9:39 PM
michael said...: I'll bet they watch Nights in Rodanthe, because he is a bit of a sissy.; 9:39 PM
michael said...: I know there are no rumors going around that he is gay, but maybe Jay should go on Larry King to set the record straight anyway.; 9:41 PM
Quitstina said...: Criminal, your posts are a bit schizophrenic sometimes. Pick a personality and stick with it.; 9:42 PM
michael said...: CT is a complicated cat.; 9:43 PM
FSJ said...: The irony of a woman talking about a man being schizophrenic...

That's gold!; 9:44 PM
Jet said...: Jay G has spent the week working on his screenplay ... Message in a HABOTN: A Love Blog.

Mrs. FSJ says that is totally accurate.; 9:47 PM
Quitstina said...: Ok, faker, that was actually kind of funny.; 9:47 PM
Jet said...: Did I say George Clooney ... I meant Mickey Rooney. Or Andy Rooney. Or Andy Dick.; 9:48 PM
Jet said...: Sigourney Weaver as Kristina
Tommy Lee Jones as Hoopie

Correction.

Joaquin Phoenix as Frankenschmidt
Ashton Kutcher as Jhag; 9:51 PM
Quitstina said...: Well if the HABOTN is ever attacked by aleins..I'm your girl.; 9:53 PM
Criminal Type said...: Kutcher is a better fit for jhag, oh yeah.

Not sure about the Diane Lane/Sigourney Weaver picks.; 9:54 PM
Quitstina said...: Or aliens too...; 9:54 PM
Criminal Type said...: See, I'd put Joaquin Phoenix as Hoopie.

Peter hits me as more of a John Krazinski guy.; 9:55 PM
Jet said...: Good call on Kracinski for PF.; 9:56 PM
Criminal Type said...: Krasinski.; 9:56 PM
AUfan said...: On NASCAR, can't you just watch the last 5 laps and see all you need to see?; 9:58 PM
Criminal Type said...: Kristina is more of an Amy Adams type ... with brown hair.; 9:58 PM
Jet said...: My Name is Earl dude is J-Z.; 9:58 PM
Jet said...: Steve Carell = GaTiger; 10:01 PM
Criminal Type said...: It's going to take someone pretty remarkable to play Jay G.

Matthew McConaughey?; 10:01 PM

Either that, or Snoop Dogg.; 10:02 PM
Jet said...: Sean Penn as Jay G.; 10:03 PM
michael said...: Jack Black? I am 6'3'' and quite skinny... more Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn; 10:03 PM
Criminal Type said...: I like the idea of Snoop. Sly, creepin and crawlin, tilted brim.; 10:04 PM
Quitstina said...: No on Sean Penn...; 10:04 PM
Criminal Type said...: I saw Vince Vaughn in NOLA a few years back and he is not thin.; 10:05 PM
AUfan said...: Does McConaughey own a shirt? I've never seen a picture of him with one on.; 10:05 PM
Jet said...: How about LL Cool Jay G?; 10:05 PM
michael said...: So who is playing Jet?; 10:05 PM
michael said...: I have actually been told I look like Ashton Kutcher by numerous peops. But apparently he is already taken.; 10:06 PM
FSJ said...: Mrs. FSJ stalked McConaughey a few years ago when they were filming part of that movie he did with Sarah Jessica Parker in Gadsden.; 10:06 PM
Jet said...: Utah's defensive ends stalked Sarah Jessica Parker.; 10:07 PM
Quitstina said...: Jet!! Love it!; 10:08 PM
Jet said...: Based on his avatar, Will Ferrell has to play Harrison; 10:09 PM
Quitstina said...: Jet can be played by Jason Bateman.; 10:11 PM
Jet said...: Where are you Michael?

Bring it home!; 10:13 PM
Criminal Type said...: I like the Bateman pick.

I also must leave for the night.

It's been awesome commenting with you all tonight. It's clear to see who the hardcore HOTTIES are ...; 10:13 PM
FSJ said...: Three to go?

Somebody say something.; 10:16 PM
Jet said...: Michael asked for this ... where is he?; 10:17 PM
FSJ said...: He's afraid of zoo keeper.; 10:18 PM
Jet said...: 600 anyone? Anyone?

Didn't think so.; 10:19 PM
