The Daily Thread: Thursday

Hey everyone. I have three 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 greedy consumers. If we'd all narrow the chasm between what we want to afford and we actually can afford, our world would be happier

Fight the power!

A BASKET!!!!

Somebody, please take that Psycho whistle and throw it in the sewer.

predicted halftime score: 45-19

8:31 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

We really need to pressure the ball handler. Press, press, press. Come on Auburn!!!!!

8:32 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Surely Auburn will catch fire soon? Please?

8:32 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

I knew we could get a Hoopie spanking if we asked for it.

8:32 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

Dr. how how could we be up by that much, they already have more than 19?

8:32 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

What's with the green ribbons?

8:33 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

Half time score 35-30.

8:33 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Vandy is shooting 66% from the floor.

8:34 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Love that positive thinking ehyou. AUMom, the green ribbons have something to do with Lyme's disease

8:34 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

Lime Out instead of pink
One of the girls has lyme disease

8:34 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Vandy's holding "Lime Out" tonight to heighten awareness for Lyme's Disease, a symptom of which is lethargy.

Apparently, Auburn has contracted Lyme's Disease tonight.

8:34 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Thanks, I heard the Lyme Disease over a conversation I was having with AUDaughter but didn't connect it with the ribbons.

8:35 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

losing at Vandy is in their heads
they don't look confident

8:36 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Auburn needs to cut this to 8 by half ... down 16 with 5 to go.

8:36 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

They were laying on Bonner and no fould?

8:36 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

how can you not call a foul!!!!

8:36 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

fould=foul

8:37 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Not a foul ... just a panic.

8:37 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

32-18 4;21

8:37 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

14 pt game

8:38 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

AU defense looking like 2nd half of W. Va. game.

8:38 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

34-18 ... 3:44 ... not much to say good about this one.

8:39 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Rebounds... aren't they still a part of the game?

8:39 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

how come we finally get to see them on TV and they look like this

8:39 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

yahoo sports (just refreshed) shows TN beating KY and AU vs Vandy scheduled to start at 9 EST tonight. yoohoo for yahoo...what a joke.

8:39 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Thanks, Jet, I haven't thought about the WVU game for months.

It's my fault, guys, I shouldn't have turned it on.

8:40 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

AU men's FT shooting = AU women rebounding/defense

8:40 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

AU truly seems stunned that Vandy would actually drive to the basket. ... 36-20, 3:16.

8:42 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Good luck coming AU VANDY ON MY TV NOW

8:43 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Vandy shooting 64 pct from field.

8:43 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I had to weather a 20 min. hockey post gameshow before they joined the game "already in progress"

8:44 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

3 second call against Auburn

8:45 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Offense looking Franklinesque.

Defense looking Swiss cheezy.

8 turnovers.

8:45 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

That is one big woman

8:45 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

36-22 1 min to go

8:46 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

can AU switch to blue unis at half?

8:47 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

This is uglier than Rosie O'Donnell in a bikini.

8:47 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

KeKe has 3 fouls

8:47 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

pathetic call, Carrier wasn't even moving

8:47 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

That was a BS call on KeKe.

8:48 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Would Dr. H prescribe ice cream for the girls at half?

8:48 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

As great as Vacation and Christmas vacation are - European and Vegas Vacations are just that bad.

8:48 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

40-24 at the half ... start the bus.

8:49 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

driving right through the defense

8:49 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

We're fine. We win no problem.

8:49 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Dr H just ate all the medicine (with some help from Molly dog)

8:50 PM  
Blogger Norm said...

How about Defense being sluggish, like a wet sponge?

8:50 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

They didn't come into this game expecting to win ... they came in hoping to win.

You can see it ... happens in Nashville all the time.

8:50 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

Is there anything better than a total Homer? In my opinion, no.

8:50 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

What defense? AU just standing around while Vandy runs by them. And why aren't they attacking on the basket on offense?

8:50 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

I would sure hate to be in the locker room with Nell

8:50 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

AU employed two defenses in the first half ...

The no one-to-man and the zero-zero-zero zone.

8:52 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

wow...that was awful...if they dont come back there probably goes the number one seed in the NCAAs

8:52 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I'm thinking we get a 1 seed with 2 losses, total. I'd rather get a 1 seed with 1 loss.

GO TIGERS!!!

8:59 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Auburn 0-13 last 13 games vs Vandy and announcer Dave Neal says "I didn't see this one coming." What a 'tard.

9:00 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

FG pct 61-31
Rebs 17-15
Pts in Paint 28-14

9:01 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

I just read a story that 2 boys found a 4.5 foot boa between the cushions in their couch. I would never sit on a couch again EVER in my life.

The story said that Animal Control in NYC gets over 200 python/boa calls a year.

9:01 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Mom ... I don't think it'd be an issue for me ... I'd drop dead of a heart attack.

9:02 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

4 points every 4 minutes, play the last 4 minutes tied.

9:05 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

please don't remind us that we have lost 13 straight

9:05 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

Anybody know how much season tickets will cost? I haven't heard if they are raising the prices, but I wouldn't be surprised. Just read where Michigan was actually lowering their ticket prices.

9:05 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

I wanna see more Dewanna!

9:06 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Reading this blog is putting pictures in my head I don't want - Rosie O'Donnell in a bikini and a snake in my couch!

9:06 PM  
Blogger JgobravesHAG said...

Well jhag's magical bball season has ended :( we lost in regional semis so sweet 16 if you will, lost to 3rd ranked team in the state by 6. Track and field time for me....I guess

9:06 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Needed to stop and shoot, Dewanna.

9:06 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

9:07 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Blogger cincytiger said...

Looking better

9:11 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

AU gets it on the run... 42-33 ... Vandy gets a fortunate TO call. AU had stolen the ball. Official in front of Vandy's bench makes the call with the ball 94 feet away.

9:11 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

it's nice to have the HABOTN to share this game with

9:11 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

How does that crap keep going in?

9:14 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Under 16 time out ... shaved 3 off ... didn't make the quota of 4 ... but playing better.

Alli struggling like Jet on a math test.

9:14 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

to paraphrase Blain: "Ain't got time to lull"

COME ON TIGERS!!! NO LET UP!!! GO!GO!GO!

9:15 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Is that Michael falling out of the stands on the Blooper show?

9:16 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

well that wasn't exactly solid D

9:17 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Yes, an offensive rebound and score

9:18 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Ugh...ly

9:18 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Theyr'e beating us with lay-ups

9:19 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Alli finally scores ... 50=13 .. 13:20

9:19 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

take what the defense gives you? like, everything!

9:20 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Can we not just plant Carrier in front of the basket to prevent the lay-ups?

9:20 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Vandy up 13 .. Nell takes a 30

not valuing shots.

9:21 PM  
Blogger michael said...

You thought you saw me falling out of the stands? My goodness, I can't believe there is a man out there handsome enough to be mistaken for me. I'll have to take care of that guy Snow White/Evil Queen style.

9:21 PM

9:27 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

this is the 1st game I've seen. Does Bonner tire this much every game?

9:28 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

AU tired, too much reaching; feet not moving

9:29 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

Smoked pork is one of the finest things in the world.

9:29 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

at least they can rest during FTs, especially when refs cheat us

9:31 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

do the refs see the game?

9:31 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Homer refs

9:31 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

OK, refs need to stay out of this. That was a bad call.

9:31 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I'm not live-blogging, I'm just whine-blogging

9:32 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

Smoked chicken is good, but man that pork can't be beat

9:32 PM

Big Bob Gibson does delicious smoked pork AND turkey

9:32 PM

As well as a tasty chocolate pie

9:32 PM

I tried to tell yall, it's no sweat - we win.

9:33 PM

Tomorrow AU is 1-13 in last 14 vs VU

9:33 PM

I would like to meet this Big Bob Gibson.

He sounds like my kind of people.

9:34 PM

What was that?

9:34 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Have to value the ball, kids

9:34 PM

Decatur, AL has several of Big Bob's eateries. He has also has a white sauce that will make you dance.

9:35 PM

Down to 5 !!!!

9:36 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

How 'bout that shot?

9:36 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

5 points, Ladies and Gentlemen

Food has been known to make me jig.

9:37 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

A dagger puts it back to 10 with 5 to go.

9:37 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Shazbot, back to 10

9:37 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

Pitiful shot selections.

9:38 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

we really need those Allie 3s.

9:38 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

starting to panic a little instead of working it

9:38 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Two bleeding legs in a game? These women are tough

9:39 PM  
Blogger Criminal Type said...

Can't beat Vanderbilt. I don't get it. What is this? Thirteen in a row?

9:39 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

We just had too big a deficit at the half. Need those 3s from Smalley.

9:39 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

smalley!!

9:40 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

3!!!!

9:40 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Alli drops a bomb to cut it back to 7 ... 4 to go

9:40 PM  
Blogger Criminal Type said...

The Auburn-Vanderbilt thing is just amazing. You look at it on paper and it shouldn't be close.

Melanie Balcomb knows how to coach 'em up.

9:41 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Sorry about the end of the magical bb season, Hag. :-(

9:42 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

inexcusable

9:43 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Newsflash

CNN says that women in bikinis are seen as objects.

9:43 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

CT ...

That gym is worth a 10 point lead at half ... the benches, the floor, the background.

You can see the unsettled looks.

9:43 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

they just keep answering...we can't get a break

9:44 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Jet, don't forget the refs

9:44 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

she traveled

9:44 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

70-61 with 3:07 left ... Nell burns another 30.

Can't get over the hump.

9:44 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

As an ex-HS football official, I'm not one to whine much about officiating. We played poorly enough on our own to take the loss.

9:45 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

we've got to have the FT

9:47 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Good point, Jet. I should have remembered my fussing about no offensive rebounds

9:47 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

WE need a 3.

9:47 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Oh, my missed bunny

9:47 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

running out of time......

9:47 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

DEFENSE.

9:48 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Alli BULLSEYE!!!

9:48 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

smalley!!!

9:48 PM  
Blogger Criminal Type said...

Alli has a little range, I'd say.

9:48 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Smalley, another 3

9:48 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

AU down 4 ... 1:04 to play ... Vandy with another FT ... makes it ... Vandy by 5.

9:49 PM  
Blogger Criminal Type said...

I just ordered Dish Network for those of you who were anxiously awaiting my decision.

Cheaper, easier to understand, "regular" TVs don't need boxes.

9:49 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

Alli wants the ball... she is trying to make this her game

9:49 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

Good for you, CT.

You'll love it

9:50 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

you go with the TurboHD package, CT?

9:50 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

can you believe we only need 3?!

9:50 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

We need to keep them from scoring and get that ball back.

9:51 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

Vandy has possibly the ugliest gym in college basketball... at least the court...

9:51 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Little late ... I fear ... 71-68 ... 38 seconds to go ... Vandy has ball 22 on shot clock.

9:51 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

this is for the championship...come on!!!!

9:51 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Down to 1 with 11.6 to go ... AU calls TO ...a foul to come.

9:52 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

1 point. 11 seconds. Vandy possession

9:52 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

Alli was open in the corner... should have given her the shot...

9:52 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

wow what a game

9:53 PM  
Blogger Criminal Type said...

Turbo Gold 250 + HD. I feel good about it.

9:53 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

jhag - congrats on a great effort and a very fine season.

9:53 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Vandy has 2 FTs with 11 sec. to go.

9:54 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

gotta foul... and they gotta miss

9:54 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

2 FTs good ... Vandy up 3 with 11 sec. go.

9:55 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

impressive CT...

9:55 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

CT, with the Gold 250, you see what the Pentagon sees?

9:56 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

not well executed...

9:56 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

They still have a foul to give.

9:57 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Ragged, ragged. AU nearly turns it over.

Vandy smartly fouls with 3 secs to go.

9:57 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

has anyone ever removed a popcorn ceiling? difficult to do?

9:57 PM  
Blogger Kathy said...

Terrible play.

9:57 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Not a good shot ... good Vandy D ... ball game.

9:57 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

terrible judgement

9:58 PM  
Blogger AUMom said...

What a game.

A disappointment, but the last half was exciting

9:58 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

JGT LIVES!

Dude... are you allowed to be alive this week?

9:58 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

When did chartreuse become one of Vandy's school colors?

9:58 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Great 2nd half effort by the ladies.

9:58 PM  
Blogger War Eagle Girl said...

that was a ridiculous end...that's what happens when you get behind

9:58 PM

Don't worry guys, we'll win. I promise.
