Post No. 1,075
Hey everyone. Welcome to Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum for tonight's epic battle between your Auburn Tigers and the Rebels of Ole Miss.
- HABOTN Player of the Game
C Korvotney Barber -- 13 points, 13 rebounds in 34 minutes - FINAL
Auburn 77, Ole Miss 64. - FOURTH TO @ 3:45, 2nd half
Auburn leads, 70-57. - THIRD TO @ 7:41, 2nd half
Auburn leads, 59-45. The Tigers are doing everything right on defense at the moment. They're rebounding. They're confounding the Rebels with some type of matchup zone deal. Ole Miss has gone scoreless on 10 consecutive possessions. - SECOND TO @ 11:41, 2nd half
Auburn leads, 49-45. So Auburn is on a run early in the period. Then Speed Reed comes along, takes a few weak shots and now the rally is over. Ole Miss still is rebounding well. Not doing much else well. - FIRST TO @ 14:58, 2nd half
Auburn leads, 47-43. The Tigers opened on a 9-0 run. They're scoreless in three possessions since then. - Thanks to "wtc" for stopping by to say hello at halftime.
Bo Jackson is here. Proof: - HALFTIME
Ole Miss leads, 40-36. - FOURTH TO @ 3:34, 1st half
Ole Miss leads, 32-25. Auburn now 1-for-12 from the perimeter. More interesting is the apparent decision to let Barber, a relatively poor passer, act as the offensive hub right now. They're dumping into him. As Ole Miss swarms him, Jeff Lebo is asking Barber to make the right pass out of the double team. It's not happening very often. - THIRD TO @ 6:54, 1st half
Ole Miss leads, 26-23. Auburn currently is 1-for-9 from the perimeter. Maybe it's time to consider other options. The Tigers are rebounding, though. They're staying (almost) even because of put-backs and other second-effort deeds. - SECOND TO @ 11:49, 1st half
Ole Miss leads, 19-16. I get the sense, without looking at statistics, that Ole Miss is not a very good defensive team. I've seen them miss several switches in the nine minutes so far. Auburn has been getting lovely looks. - FIRST TO @ 15:15, 1st half
Ole Miss leads, 14-10. Ole Miss' point guard, freshman Terrico White, already has seven points and two assists. He's the guy who went off for 19 the last time these two teams played. I guess Jeff Lebo hasn't quite figured out how to stop the kid. - YOUR AUBURN STARTERS
PG -- Speed Reed of Houston, Texas
SG -- Tez Robertson of Cincinnati, Ohio
"SF" -- Tay (With A Tray) Waller of middle Georgia, USA
F -- Rasheem Barrett of suburban Atlanta
C -- Korvotney Barber of middle Georgia - Vincent Jackson, a former Auburn tailback, is here tonight. I'll try to get a picture of of him.
- This is sooooo not a "white out." This is the worst SEC crowd of the season without a doubt.

hey Jay... see McCready there? wonder what he thinks of WNSP's most recent actions. I know he could care less, but he may get a laugh out of it
2nd
3rd FINALLY
McCready isn't here. Sucks.
Vincent Jackson? sweet.
bummer about the crowd. guess folks will be taking 2-3 free tees home each, eh? that's pathetic...i'm calling my sis in auburn and making her get down there!
JGT,
We need this win and from your article in the MA today I think the Tigers want it too.
They have already exceeded expectations in my mind.
War EAAAGGLLEE!!
OK, if we lose it's my fault for not going. I don't think I've been to a game where we lost all season, but it was Mr. Zoo Keeper's turn.
14-10 Ole Miss @ 15:15.
Great. Nice going, Kristina.
19-16 Ole Miss @ 11:49
In the words of Billy Packer, "This one is ovah!"
Well I thought about drugging his dinner and going anyway, but since not a lot is riding on this game, I figured the ensuing argument wouldn't be worth it.
26-23 Ole Miss @ 6:54
couldn't get my sister. i'm sure she's not there. if things go awry we'll blame it on her.
32-25 Ole Miss @ 3:34
Auburn is 1-for-12 from the perimeter.
that's not so good.
Maybe everyone wanted to wear their orange shirts?
uh-oh, i'm wearing a red polo....maybe it's my fault. :(
bear what did WNSP do?
1-12??? what happened to tay the tray?
40-36 Ole Miss at halftime.
halftime entertainment?
JD- on friday the 13th they got rid of Sportsdrive. Fired Seth Harp and Isaac Vasquez, and pretty much canned Pat Greenwood, but said he may do some other things for WNSP
sounds like a boring game
cutbacks...corporate america! they need to cut those lame guys in the morning too...
So it's a white out and the AU AD is wearing blue?
good thing vasquez had that thing lined up with the original oyster house...
maybe they should call a game a brown out that way the majority in attendance (chairs) will match our theme...
I think WNSP gives in to too much outside pressure....I realize sometimes change can be a good thing, but it seems like they change because of outside influences. I also realize sponsors pay the bills, but if you lose some of your fan base, who is hearing the commercials by your sponsors? I personally have not agreed with the way they have treated some of their employees, and have not listened to the show for a year or more....(McCready's departure)
My opinion...I don't run a radio station, so that's all I have is an opinion.
Kathy, good eyes again!
Jacobs is, in fact, wearing blue.
That's showing the old team spirit. If I lived closer, I would be there tonight, and I would be wearing white.
43-40 Auburn @ 19:03, 2nd
Auburn opens the half with a three-and-the-foul and a three from Tay Waller.
is bo still pushing those knock off bubba burgers?
This comment has been removed by the author.
Jay, could you give us a Frankie Sullivan report? Thanks
JD, you had #34 and you blew it! love live the 'Bo Jackson Burger'!!!!
isn't it the official hamburger of Jordan-Hare Stadium?
JG,
Watching the radio it sounds like we have a chance. It is amazing the difference in TONE of the announcers when we are winning.
For once, I really wish I wad there!
i can truly say that i'm embarassed...let's say that post #34 was retired in this thread.
AU leads by 4
leads by 4? who's responsible for this?
47-43 Auburn @ 15:00.
Michael,
This one is NOT ovah!!!
Some sheep traders stepped in and gave AU the boost that they needed.
AU still leads by 4 during thr Whiteout
49-45 Auburn @ 11:41
au by 7
Hola Hotties - JGT, EXCELLENT stuff as always. I'm caught up on reading all of the coaching interviews and their corresponding comments after a mid-week long run, shower, dinner, etc. Follow on from some previous posts this afternoon/evening, I am more powerful than ms tiger so I can do what I want to do in my house. We're watching tv together now and the only time she acts annoyed is when I'm laughing at what I'm reading here.
I always enjoy catching up on what that Vincent Edward fellow is doing. Of course I have excellent memories of him. I also have good memories from some of his interview quotes - a good one from Jim Rome shortly after 9/11, a good one from PF in reference to Tiger Woods, and a great one in The Worldwide Leader Magazine about a year ago paraphrased as "I don't have to outrun that bear, I just have to outrun that slow white dude."
AU leads by 10 w/ 9:10
55-45 Auburn @ 9:10.
Ole Miss hasn't scored in five minutes. That's eight consecutive possessions.
i have alway suscribed to the notion that one of the baskets must be broken in the BEAVE...
14
59-45 Auburn @ 7:41
mdaniel, are you trying to annoy me?
sniff...sniff...me smells a hamma being lain...
I'm just listening to the game on the radio.
23-5 auburn run in the second half
again one of the baskets is broken...
Guys I have an announcement to make on this Ash Wednesday, I am giving up the HABOTN for lent, so i wont be around for awhile, keep it real peeps!
jhag no!
jhag...i thought you were supposed to give your stuff up by midnight last night?
jhag,
I'm not even Catholic but i'm with you.
LATE
70-57 Auburn @ 3:45
It's a noble move by jhag.
I guess he identified the HABOTN as a vice. Bummer.
Jay G, is there any evidence that the basket that Ole Miss is having to score on this half has some disfunctional parts?
I think Ole Miss just stinks right now.
Funny you mention that broken basket theory JD, because I had a similar notion at the Tennessee and the Miss State games.
Did y'all get the church straightened out for the wedding?
HAHAHAHAHAH I WOULD NEVER!
I'm here for good, sorry for the very sick and twisted joke.
ha zookeeper. yeah we have decided to go with a dueling wedding dueling banjos type of deal. They are going to get married in the chapel and we're going to get married in the big room.
Auburn wins, 77-64.
WDE!!!!!
SEVEN SEC WINS!!
well looks like i am going to have to call in tomorrow and apoligize to one Jeffrey Lebo...
GOOOOOOD stuff.
War Eagle!! Guess my good luck rubbed off on Mr. Zoo Keeper.
War "white out" Eagle!
did he get you a tshirt zookeeper?
did anyone watch american idol tonight?
I don't know. He's not home yet.
I believe that I forecast that the "White Out" would be little more than dandruff in BEMC.
Hag can't give up the habotn. He's gotta have it.
War Eagle!
Jet i believe the prefered nomenclature for the Auburn Basketball arena is "The BEAVE"
I think I'm going to call it the BM, Biscuitator.
i agree mon. i belive that habotn flows through jhag's veins.
Jet, one thing is for sure the beave looks like a BM...
There's going to be an explosion in JHag's garage one day, and the authorities will explain at as a HABOTN lab blast.
I am convinced of this.
Biscuitator ... the only way I'd watch American Idol was if "Jon and the Shrew I'd Like to Bash with a Shovel and Their 8 Brats" was on every other channel.
I wake up in the morning and piss HABOTN
ewwww
Yea, that's a little TMI.
JHag, for me, it's a little different.
I wake up 3 times in the night to do it.
Barber is the HPOG: 13 points, 13 rebounds
Hey Jay, just wanted to give you props for being the only guy at the Toyota laptop table to join in the "white out" tonight. Thanks man!!
Had dinner with NoVaTiger tonight and had a very nice time. (except for almost being hit by a car that crashed into the wall on I-459).
Oh, and yes, Kristina DID get a t-shirt everyone...
You know I wear a white shirt to every game, Earl!
HOTTIVORES ...
I gotta get some sleep if I'm going to be at the gym by 5.
Nice work today, Jay G.
Hotties, sweet dreams of beating Bama.
Guess you're a trend setter Jay!
jhag... it's normal... i've done it about 14 times today...
Damn straight I'm a trend-setter.
Glad we could all join in your white out then... Winning is fun!
100
Look at Earl showing some veteran awareness. Nice work.
nice play Mr. Zookeeper, i made a rookie play earlier missing #34
Me too, JDB... Just found out he was in the building when I got home.
If working with the youth at SJ for 7 years taught me anything, it was to appreciate a free t-shirt.
Mr. Zookeeper must be trying for a a "feeling the heat" designation all in one night.
okay, sounds like I missed a good game!
I had to make my pledge donation tonight so I could have the pleasure of buying football tickets...I was so happy to make a pledge
so did the students not show up again?
not bad student attendence, but the place still reminds me of Lake Martin a couple of years ago, when it was 14 feet down...
WEG...student and auburn do not mix unless we are ranked higher than 10 in the country.
WEG, I have always wondered if Lebo has any contact with the students. I know the women's coach and players go out and try to sell their program. I may have missed it, but I never see Lebo out doing that in the community.
yeah, do you think they will show up for the ladies on Sunday? I have to come to AU Theatre on Sat night to see my son in the play on closing night..wish I could stay for the game
night all
night jd...sweet dreams
Thanks for the Twitter, Jay G. It was a temporary relief from Accounting at 10:00pm EDT. Thought I'd stop in and let you know I appreciated it. Back to the grind...Postings from the road will start in about 30 minutes, hopefully, and continue past midnight central.
Lebo has virtually no presence with the student community. He is very hard to work with.
the guys deserve better than that since they work so hard....why don't they have student give aways like scholarship to get the students there? Instead of spending money on the interesting half time shows
peter, don't you know it's illegal to text in the car?
I don't need a scholarship to go to the games but hey it would be nice! ;)
#118 and a good night to all!
Matt, thanks for the reply. Lebo has always struck me as being that type of person, but I didn't know if that was true or not. AU needs a basketball coach who is also a salesman. It is a harder place to draw than several other schools. But the coach needs to at least get out and try to get people excited.
JG-I didn't think AU had it in them. They were cold in the 1st half.
Cannot believe Jacobs wore blue shirt and blue pants and brown shoes. He looked so goof.
I also didn't think they had it in them.
I'm headed home. Take care, HOTTIES.
ptexting is so passe. I'm HABTONing!
To ban the HABOTN in any capacity would be worse than prohibition in the 20s (or was it 30s?). If NASCAR came from Prohibition, imagine what would come from HABOTNition!
The white-out shirt is pretty cool, now my fiance and I can wear matching shirts!
Peter, freecreditreport.com?
I don't understand. Free credit report dot com already exists. Besides, it would be much, much bigger...it would start undergound and grow until it couldn't be contained.
we jazz like dat, we freak like dat, we zoom like dat. we out.
g'nite hotties.
CHELSEA!
CHELSEA!
CHELSEA!
CHELSEA!
the former first daughter has an unlikely cheering squad in inverness....strange.
I guess third place causes instant elation in some circles.
Tsk tsk tsk - I'm catching my DVR'd match as we type.
We'll be there - will you?

You just worry about that 10-point deficit.
Thanks again for the excellent coverage Jay. I was busy and didn't get to keep up during the game, but the HABOTN is even good in re-runs.
PS. Where can I get me a Bo Jackson burger?
And as for football, I have developed a new strategy to use during the season if we start getting Ziembaed again. I say we introduce the Ziemba snap count. You compute the Ziemba snap count by adding one to the snap count every other offensive player is using.
Good Morning, Hotties and Happy Thursday! Only one more!
There's a lot of info. from Jay G I must read since yesterday afternoon!
Jay: "Bo, it's so great that you are back on campus. You being here means a great deal to me personally. I have a lot of great ideas ... BLAH, BLAH, BLAH."
Bo (to person at his right): "Who is this tool? Isn't there someone in the athletic department we can get to move this goob?"
Morning Luv, Senator...Did any of you guys catch the SI with Bo re: bow hunting...there was a pretty intense picture of him staring the camera down through a window in his shed. Loved it.
Interesting stuff from the coaches.
I'm excited, but I'm not expecting a whole lot for the 2009 season. There's just not enough time to get it all together. They will definitely be better than last season, though. 2010, I believe, is going to be a great year! War Eagle!
So how is everyone coping on this Thursday? This is the hardest day of the week for me, Friday is so close but 8 work hours away.
I'm not coping so well. I just can't get it together this morning. I'm resorting to the crap they call coffee here.
Good work Jay with the coaching comments.
Anyone else excited that we are going to have an offense led by a cordinator who is free to do what he wants? I'm pumped about that and look forward to the future of Auburn Football.
Agree 100%, Eddie.
Word, Eddie, tell the truth.
Bo doesn't seem like a very friendly guy. He always seems rushed.
Jay G, someone I used to work with said the same thing about him.
Jay-ESPN shows attendance was @5300 last night. After looking at each SEC game last night, we had the lowest attendance. Van vs UGA had more, at Athens, and UGA is 11-17. I am beginning to believe after the 1st few games in 2 years, to see the new arena, attendance will fall back to the normal lows.
What is your opinion?
I just think the students should show up more, especially when you've an undergrad population the size of AU. I know I didn't go to many as a student but I wish I would have now.
The students that do show are fairly vocal. Just not enough of them. What is there to do on a Wednesday night in Auburn? They gave out t-shirts for the first 2,000 for the whiteout last night. At 15 till 7:00 I walked up to the concourse and stood in line and got two and they looked like they about 600-700 left.
I went to the Miss State game, and that was a pretty good crowd, but you'd think for a winnable game like ole miss on a Wed. there would be more folks out there.
my best friend had an anti-Bo moment back in '98. he hasn't like him since. :(
i don't understand the lack of student support at games either. i mean, do you have to be 24-3 to have students come to games? i rarely ever missed one when i was there. you can cheer for 2 hours, then go straight to Skybar. what's so difficult about that?
This is just my opinion - a rather uninformed one at that - but I feel that the lack of excitement around the men's basketball team is in direct relation to the coach.
In just a few short years, look at all the excitement Nell has garnered for the women's team.
Jay, regarding Bo, I don't know if you saw my post from early last night, but my wife and daughter saw him yesterday at The Olive Garden in Tigertown. He was very nice to my daughter and gave her an autograph. Just thought I would add that into the conversation.
I got an autograph from Bo many years ago in Tuscaloosa of all places. He was there visiting some hunt club. My stepmom was a friend of the owner. He signed his baseball picture. My oldest daughter has it displayed on her wall of honor and knows how cherished it is.
Maybe Bo was just "signed out" by the time he arrived at BEMC. In get tired of signing autographs, too, sometimes.
As far as Bo Jackson goes, I could not care less for him. I have met him several times and I can't stand him. He believes he is bigger than Auburn and that he built Auburn. It really sucks when you meet someone you idolized as a kid and have him be a complete jerk.
Eddie, I have heard similar stories in the past regarding his behavior, but I thought I should tell about my daughter's encounter to be fair. Maybe she caught him at the right time, but it really made her day. And that made my day. I have found that sometimes it is better to never meet players in person, so you can remember them as you wish they were instead of how they really are. Sorry it happened like that for you.
Eddie, One more thing I forgot to add, Jeff Burger was that player to me that Bo was to you. If I saw him drowning I would offer him a glass of water. What a jerk. OK, my therapy session is over now.
Agreed Depressed. I've been a huge Auburn fan all of my life and I have also been very fortunate to get to work with the football team while I was at Auburn. Reality sets in when you actually see how things really are, for better and for worse. You also realize what a big political machine the Auburn program is and that is disappointing, but not surprising (maybe a little bit surpising to a freshman living his dream though). I have had the chance to meet alot of the Auburn greats and players that I adored as I grew up, and most experiences are positive, but some just absolutely ruin your image of what that person meant to you growing up. I'm very glad that your daughter was able to get an autograph and that she had a very positive experience.
As for me, I still cherish the week that I got to spend with Tiger Woods his last NCAA Championship Tournament at the Honors Course in Chattanooga. I worked as a caddy at the course for several years while growing up there, and I did a lot of work in getting the course ready for the tournament and my reward was that I got to follow Tiger around (while being paid) and be crowd control. He was everything, if not more that I expected him to be. He spent a lot of time with just me and him at the range, showing me his trick shots and just chatting. Those are memories that I hope that every kid / adult is able to have with their idols and it's just disappointing when they are the opposite of that.
Sorry for the ramble.
Bo could punch me in the face, and I'd still idolize him.
Morning Hotties - JGT I'll say again, good work yesterday and last night.
Seanz - I made a few comments about Bo last night regarding some great quotes (in my opinion) from him. I think your earlier referenced SI Hunting article may have been the same one I remembered as being an ESPN article, I could well be wrong on the source. But, it was a great article and I just loved one of his opening lines about killing that bear with a pistol in Alaska: he wasn't scared, he knew he didn't have to outrun that bear, all he had to do was outrun that slow white dude (slow white dude = either a guide or hunting partner).
My only person-to-person encounter with Bo was at the Cotton Bowl, I got high fives from Bo, Aundray and some others as the team was leaving the Loew's Anatole heading to the stadium. I don't think AU's performance that day was directly attributable to me, but I can't rule it out completely. So that being the case I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to all AU fandom.
Could very well have been ESPN, not really sure. Either way, cool story.
Peter- I've gotta admire that kind of loyalty. If we ever meet Bo together, you stand in front.
The two friendliest AU players I had the pleasure of meeting - James Callier and Quentin Riggins.
I knew Courtney Taylor while I was an undergrad, he was a really cool guy, down to earth, friends with everyone.
Astros @ Braves spring training game on ESPN at 1:00 pm (EDT) today. Just thought I'd pass that along.
I will love Bo no matter how big of a jerk he is. What do you expect? He actually is that much better than all of us!
James Callier is one of the nicest guys period. The guy was an awesome person to be around. Always positive.
Q - is a fantastic individual anytime I've ever encountered him.
I used to live across the street from Ron Stallworth for about 5 years and we worked for the same bank for a bit while in the gump. He's a great down to earth guy and on top of that was an excellent neighbor. I think he and I were the only homeowners within a few blocks who chose not to hire someone else to do the yardwork.
While at the same bank I also worked with Leonard Thomas very closely. Very nice guy too.
well played michael! he has a big trophy. we don't.
Which is more likely to make someone think positive thoughts about Auburn: the mention of Bo, or the mention of Eddie? For everyone except for Eddie's family and close friends(and maybe even for some of them, I say Bo.
eddie, that's a great story on Tiger. i'm not much of a golf fan but that's pretty cool.
Peter- Huh?
I'm sorry I said anything about the idolized Bo. I promise you there are many more people that have had my experience than you think when it comes to Bo. I think I will go back to solitude now.
I got an autograph from the Strongest Man in the World, Sexual Chocolate himself, Mark Henry back in the day. He acted like he was better than us, but since he was a wrestling heel, that was what we wanted. He even made fun of my friend! That is a night I will never forget.
Eddie, I wasn't criticizing you. Sorry it came across that way. You just happened to end up in my semi-sarcastic post. Bitter Innocent bystander of sorts.
PF, can I punch you in the face?
Just kidding.
To do list:
1. Avoid making Eduardo mad.
Bo has been awkward at best, and a turd at the worst. But he's our turd.
Q is a representative of a fine Auburn man, but more than he's a fine man, period. His parents raised him well.
Now would be a good time to remind you that he would be an outstanding athletic director. Maybe he could start Monday -- first of the month and all.
Auburn Baseball in Tallahassee tonight to face FSU. They destroyed Lipscomb Tuesday, so surely they'll roll through the Seminoles.
Jay G - Bit of a sidebar, but you said back in October or something that you had interviewed Quentin Groves about the NFL, and he had some interesting things to say. Did you ever write that article? Where is it located?
my sis in Tallahassee representing for the hotties at the baseball games. i'm very proud.
This Auburn offense will be great next season. Malzahn is innovative. With Grimes taking care of the offensive line, we should be solid.
I also think they have found a solution to our tackle troubles. Next season the tackles will no longer be in a two point stance. In a shocking development, Auburn will introduce the one point stance. Yes, our linemen will balane on one foot in a Karate Kid type stance.
Yea, it may sounds crazy, but after hearing about how great our new offense was going to be last year, I will believe about anything now.
Baseball facts:
The all white home unis with blue trim are sharp
Auburn leads the SEC in homers to this point with 10. They're on pace for 140 this year as a team.
Michale,
Jay said he's annoyed with you subtle complaining about the free content he provides(I'm just assuming it was you, really it was probably me) but you keep on pushing. Are you trying to piss him off so that he takes down the HABOTN, altogether?
Scottie B, will she be live blogging the game?
Steve,
If Grimes doesn't work out as OL coach, we can always hire Mr. Miagyi. And Daniel-san can be a grad assistant.
she's at Starbucks right now so she wouldn't talk to me. priorities, right? i'll see what i can do. don't hold your breath though PF. :)
I wouldn't put too much stock in the win over Lipscomb. As a good Church of Christ school, it doesn't play with instruments. So, without bats and gloves, it's really hard to be competitive.
Frankenbummer, I am pretty sure the only time I annoy Jay is when I bring up the BC coaching situation. Speaking of which, what do you guys think about that? I mean, is it a smart business practice to fire a guy just for looking elsewhere? I mean, he wasn’t even looking at another college, he was looking at an NFL job. Should we fire Trooper Taylor for admitting he has aspirations to be a head coach one day?
Jet, I would prefer not to be punched by a Senator, if its all the same to you...unless I was part of on of those Asian govenments where they have all out brawls. Little dude tries to hit me with his Ferragamos and IT'S ON! I'd be all over Countdown and The Soup. It would be awesome.
I got Bo's autograph after Senior Bowl practice when I was a kid. He signed two things for me and would only sign one for my friend wearing a Bama hat.
I wish I could still see all the autographs on that football. If I remember correctly it had Pat Dye, Bo, Don Shula, Gene Stallings, Steve Wallace, and a few other NFL coaches.
elhmcia,
Yes, Taylor and Malzahn should both be fired. Preemptive strike is best.
I still think the BC coaching fiasco is most like BBQ.
You know, PF, a HOTTIE brawl around a campfire might be cathartic.
Go find the HOTTIE that is the nails on your chalkboard and smash a chair over them or something.
I'd have at least a dozen chairs smashed on me. I'm wearing a helmet.
i wonder who Jay G would smash?
He'd smash me for stealing Fonzie's nickname.
At this brawl suggested by Jet, I'd be like "Motorist" off to the side saying; "People, I just wanna say, can't we all just get along?"
Yeah, that'd be me cause I'm a lover not a fighter.
Or, I may let the brawl go on unabated and sneak around and steal some beer and food from the involved parties. I mean, no sense in letting it go to waste.
cMhlaei (just wanted to be part of the cool group),
I think the better course of action would be to go ahead and fire Chiz, and promote Gustav and Trooper to co-head coaches.
If we are committed to the BC model, that is.
Jet, I'd like to thank you for making me blow hot coffee out my nose with the Lipscomb comment. Too bad you're scared of a Scrabble beatdown.
Your devoted follower,
J-Z
Yes the Senator's remark about the Lipscomb kids was rather hilarious, I forwarded it on to my Lipscomb buddies. Should be a riot.
Still say Jet should be the new voice of the Auburn Tigers. Rod's new job will be walking stadium bleachers selling hot dogs. Silently.
200.
