Hey everyone. We made ESPN! Thanks to the HOTTIE who made this happen.DeWayne Reed missed two free throws with less than 10 seconds remaining, allowing Baylor to cling to a one-point lead. After a Baylor free throw bumped the visitors' lead to two points, the Tigers raced down the court for one final possession.
Rasheem Barrett, whose sharp shooting boosted Auburn throughout the second half, missed the final shot from 23 feet.
Auburn ends its season 24-12.

ReplyDeleteLooked like the sign came from the student section.
ReplyDeleteBaylor 17-12
ReplyDeleteget ready for the flood of new,interested people. I will go to any website someone puts on TV
ReplyDeleteAuburn cold tonight.
ReplyDeletesullivan is sitting down... started playing for baylor....lebo pulled him
ReplyDeleteI'll betcha that's Matt with the sign. I'm not at BEMC. Darn.
ReplyDeleteWhy the whistle there?
ReplyDeletethat 6-8 white boy is outrebounding AU singlehandedly.
ReplyDeletethat was too funny - good job hottie
ReplyDeleteHarry - leave my love life out of this.
Tigers - no intensity
lebo's tie looks like a car part
ReplyDeleteNeed to shut Dunn down. And why are we forcing those shots?
ReplyDeletethe guys are channelling the ladies effort it seems...
ReplyDeleteGot a lid on that goal for AU
ReplyDeleteNeed to close the gap while Dunn is out.
ReplyDeletewhat effort... its 5 single people ...
ReplyDeletethey do not look like a team at all...
matt got there early...good sign, guy.
ReplyDeleteJay, it was probably better on TV than it would be live, anyway.
What is Bags doing, just sittin there talking to other beat guys? Come talk to the Hotties. We rule.
that could be big..dunn hurt.
ReplyDeleteGood move, good pass
ReplyDelete3!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe crowd is great. Nice to see.
ReplyDeletegood run there. they were just waiting on me to start watching.
ReplyDeleteSend Eltoro after Dunn I say
ReplyDeleteBaylor 22 AU 19
ReplyDelete7:43
Tied
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed with this crowd, best I have seen in a while.
ReplyDeleteWHO ARE THESE POEPLE IN ORANGE??
ReplyDelete22 - 22 7:00
ReplyDeletenice 3, booosh
ReplyDeletevery nice looking crowd. wish I could've stayed a few more days....
ReplyDeleteWho has a dvr and the ability to do a screen capture? We need a still shot of the HABOTN.com sign on ESPN....
ReplyDeleteWe soooooo need a vid cap of that sign.
ReplyDeletetreintedos
ReplyDeleteI don't Hate the orange jerseys either way, but I noticed Friday that they certainly don't look so bad in person. I'm on board.
ReplyDeleteI stopped by earlier and had the Baylor's Intentional Foul guy almost land in my lap after mauling Rasheem.
ReplyDeleteThe crowd is in the 7000 range, I'd say.
we're bad, we're nationwide!
ReplyDeletedecent crowd.... certainly not an embarrassing showing on national tv...
ReplyDeleteScott - I'm diggin that avatar. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAuburn 24 Baylor 24 5:32
ReplyDeleteIf someone local has it on dvr, I think Frankenbrother (a new lurking hottie) has capture abilities. He can come get it.
ReplyDeletefreakin ft's
ReplyDeleteAuburn 27 Baylor 26 4:55
ReplyDeleteThat didn't last long. Baylor up by 2 now.
ReplyDeleteWhere was our defense?
ReplyDeleteShoot Reed
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the 3s. Auburn 33, Baylor 31 3:06
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet pass and shot
ReplyDeleteHe was wide open under the basket. Tie game.
ReplyDeleteShoot the three continues from Friday to Tonight....except it's falling some today
ReplyDeleteokay, enough 3s....
ReplyDeleteFinally took it to the basket.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just cringe every time we go to the FT line?
ReplyDeleteI hate it when we go to the line.
ReplyDeleteThrees are going to be the key as long as Baylor keeps running that zone.
ReplyDeleteDMiller...I've got the game DVR'd...I need to look for the sign..I guess I missed it.
ReplyDeleteBaylor has some quick guards.
ReplyDeleteMiller I think they wear those long sleeves because they are compression for muscle support and made of a material that absorbs sweat and is anti stinky.
ReplyDeleteIt's not anti-stinky.
ReplyDeleteI wear em for basketball as well. I can attest.
Will Lebo's primary criteria for recruiting be the ability to shoot the free throw next year?
ReplyDeletethere is no such thing as anti-stinky when you're playing roundball
ReplyDeleteThat was a fast half.
ReplyDeleteHA There ya go, Daddy Bear busting the anti stinky claim.
ReplyDeleteGood first half, we are in far better position than we should be right now.
ReplyDeleteThey got a ton of easy layups and dunks, if we can cut that off we should be in good shape in the 2nd half.
we have bears here? Run Harrison, Run!
ReplyDeleteMiller - Under Armour calls it HeatGear and one of the claims is "Anti-Odor". Anyway, that's the answer to your question. Next?
ReplyDeleteehyou,
ReplyDeleteHis primary concern needs to be to get some size on the team. Barber is the only size we have and he's done.
DQ advertisement is just WRONG!
ReplyDeleteI'm hungry.
Agree RK. We need to start going to the basket in the 2nd half, too.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet pass and shot
ReplyDeleteListen to Monica with the hoops-speak....you go girl
We need to jack up more 3s in the second half
ReplyDeletei missed most of the first half 'cause my two year old pooped the tub! i seem to have made as good a recovery as AU. both kids are now clean, disinfected and ready for bed.
ReplyDeletemy hoops speak is minimal, but thanks for the love, ehyou
ReplyDeletePF- never run from a bear. don't you watch discover channel?
ReplyDeleteI doubt Monica's ever played Mens College Basketball,though, so how credible is that comment, really?
ReplyDeletechip....we really didn't need to know all of that...
ReplyDeletemake yourself appear as large as possible in front of a bear, in the hope that they will be scared.
ReplyDeletePlease discontinue all poop-speak. It can get out of control in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteI love kid pooping in the tub stories.
ReplyDeleteHarrison, my key to survival around predators is to always take someone who is slower than me and will also run. The discovery channel doesn't condone such behavior, but refuses to deny that it works.
i was just comparing my recovery from disaster to AU's...
ReplyDeletei was in a bano in monterrey once and...
ReplyDeletefrom hoop speak to poop speak = bad move
ReplyDeletewhatever, that makes you look like a big, delicious snack
ReplyDeleteI dont think I ever pooped in the tub... I peed in the refrigerator once though...
ReplyDeleteomnica with the bear avatar. run harrison, run!
ReplyDeletejust stopping in for a halftime look-in.
ReplyDeletenice early vid JG.
if we can stop giving Baylor those open looks inside i think we can win this thing. war eagle!
"We need to jack up more 3s in the second half"
ReplyDeleteIs that possible?
End of poop talk. Now.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I hope Daddy Bear, Jay G. Tate has played Men's College Basketball and football. Otherwise, Peter the Hater will deem him not credible.
ReplyDeletedidn"t use the bano in Monterey, I waited to get back to the compound in Saltillo.
ReplyDeleteHABOTN tv again...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure when i'm cringing more... when Auburn goes to the charity stripe or when they shoot 14 threes in a row.
ReplyDeleteHABOTN.COM sign on again along with a face. HA HA That is too funny.
ReplyDeletehey guys..I've got the sign paused on my tv screen...
ReplyDeleteTop 5 threats to THE HABOTN:
ReplyDelete1. BEARS of Baylor
2. #2 prep running backs
3. Gannett News Inc.
4. chip chip
5. closed spring practices
wtg Brian
ReplyDeleteI can make a pic and try to email it if anyone wants it...
ReplyDeleteMonica, I still haven't found the button yet, but let's keep looking.
ReplyDeleteUnder the basket, +1!
ReplyDeleteOf course, +1 means very little to this poor FT shooting AU team!
ReplyDeleteI still don't know what your problem is with me, Peter, but I wish you would keep it off the HABOTN. Don't really need the extra drama.
ReplyDeletechip.. did the puppets tell you to leave them off....or..are you a puppet?
ReplyDeleteI like my 3s from at least 4 ft from outside the line.
ReplyDeletesmile a little.
ReplyDeleteAnd Baylor hits their FTs.
ReplyDeletethey were number 4 until i started the potty speak.
ReplyDeleteapologies.
If it's not on the list, ain't it obvious Harrison?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for once that Mikl isn't here, it'd never stop.
ReplyDeleteBrian, my email is on the main thread.
ReplyDeletePeter, play nice.
Brian - I'd love a copy of the HABOTN sign pic. My email is monica_wareagle@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI was making fun of the caller from the radio the other day and an old comment that I thought was super funny and witty from Mon. There was no malice, and the only drama is in the explanation. Hugs for everyone.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my humor sucks. I can't say that enough around here...
I just got an email from a dude in Maui ... said "small sign on espn worked"
ReplyDeletehahahah
10-4 guys...I'll try and make it work....stay tuned.
ReplyDeletenot a puppet...anymore
ReplyDeletehappily unemployed.
Maui? We'd miss you, but I think you could make it big there, Jay G.
ReplyDeleteI'll never buy Windex again. A little amonia water in a random spray bottle get same results.
ReplyDeleteyou think we could get a habotn sign at big games everywhere like the Wash St. flag at Gameday, or the john 3:16 sign?
ReplyDeletegood game so far hope we can hold on
ReplyDeleteI vow to take a HABOTN anywhere there's a TV camera.
ReplyDeleteAre all national announcers terrible or only the ones on the games I watch?
ReplyDeleteI'd have thought that the national guys would be the cream of the crop. Guess not.
Welcome to the HABOTN random guy in Maui...
ReplyDeleteMan we've gone ice cold.
ReplyDeleteHow about our starting QB with HAB....OTN painted into his eye-black.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when a guy jumps into someone and gets a free shot
ReplyDeleteWhat does Lebo do that he has that perpetually tanned look?
ReplyDeleteOK, now I'm really tired of hearing those whistles.
ReplyDeleteI think we could get a HABOTN sign plastered at every telecast possible...
ReplyDeleteJGT could offer up front page props to the 1 who get sthe most prominently placed sign...
I'll be so glad when Tebow is gone. My wife has an unabashed crush on him.
ReplyDeleteDEFENSE
ReplyDeletewhere was the whistle then? Frankie got smacked on that drive...
ReplyDeletenice layup by sullivan! thank you for the steal
ReplyDeleteCOME ON CROWD GET CRAZY!
Talking about Tebow is worse than talking about poop.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't they stop him?
ReplyDeletesullivan in year four should be special
ReplyDeletePoint taken PF. Sincere apologies.
ReplyDeletenice bear, chip :-)
ReplyDeleteTebow will be the #1 overall pick in the CFL draft.
ReplyDeleteAuburn hasn't had one lead this half.
ReplyDeleteAppears my attempts at humor are no better than yours.
ReplyDeleteand mine suck
ReplyDeletewell...that goes without saying
ReplyDeleteUconn crushing Fla Glad Ladies didn't play them
ReplyDeleteas Mon would say... Oh Lowered... who is the dork in the mask and cape?
ReplyDeleteWhoever made the HABOTN sign should be given some kind of special recognition. Maui? That is great stuff.
ReplyDeleteFrankie for 3!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sullivan.
ReplyDeleteCan you stay in the lane 15 seconds
ReplyDeleteLooks like he hurt his hand on that dunk.
ReplyDeletethanks mon.
ReplyDeletehow's this one?
i hate to waste a beautiful rebound
ReplyDeleteWe just can't take the lead.
ReplyDeletewe're in this one. c'mon auburn
ReplyDeleteCrap.
ReplyDeletechip - I can barely see that one - is he holding a gun?
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone ever willingly listen to Puccini?
ReplyDeletePoor Harry is going to be too afraid to read the HABOTN!
ReplyDeleteCan we assign someone to guard the basket, I bet 40 of their 59 points are on layups or dunks.
ReplyDeleteThis one is slipping .....if we don't pick it up
ReplyDeletewhere is Mamadou N'diaye when we need him?
ReplyDeleteCome on Auburn....I'm serious this time.
ReplyDeleteWe can't get a break
ReplyDeleteI love the Dos Equis commercial.
ReplyDeleteThat's what we need a tuxedo and a sword. especially a sword
ReplyDeleteC'mon Tigers.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how practice is going!!!
ReplyDeleteWalk!
ReplyDeleteMon and JG...the email was just sent from cutiemc88@gmail.com...let me know if you got it...
ReplyDeleteUncle Luc!
ReplyDeleteDamn
ReplyDeleteMan, that looked like a great block.
ReplyDeletethat was nothing but a block by barrett
ReplyDeleteI'm not into complaining about calls.....but that block was an awesome play.
ReplyDeleteMan that hurts.
ReplyDeleteHow many easy points has Rogers had?
ReplyDeleteAnd just like that...down by 8
ReplyDeletegoing to take a special run here.
ReplyDeletedon't choke now!!!!!c'mon guys.
ReplyDeletei wish Lebo would buy a decent looking tie... if we're forced to keep him around... make him buy some decent ties...
ReplyDeleteduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
ReplyDeleteTime running out. We need to shut them down, but we haven't been able to do that all night.
ReplyDeleteCrowd needs to get loud.
ReplyDeleteHow many times do we have to listen to Baylot 0-3 and now could be 3-3
ReplyDeleteanyone know who the young African American mens enlarged heads are?
ReplyDeleteThat 3 that guy hit off the screen was huge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian
ReplyDeleteHABOTN.com sign on ESPN
Those are NBA JAM players, jhag.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, that pic is super sweet Monica.
ReplyDeleteHABOTN.com
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S AWESOME!!!!
I can't believe Nessler didn't give HABOTN props after that.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not sure which Hottie has it. Brian captured it. I'm just posting it.
ReplyDeleteIt's most cool, huh?
Thanks Monica
ReplyDeleteThey can just foul us to keep us from making a run!
ReplyDeleteverifiable proof should put that person into ROF automatically imo.
ReplyDeleteNo they aren't
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome link Mon..Looks like Uncle Sam there is pointing at the camera and saying...."The HABOTN wants you..."haha
ReplyDeleteWe can't just keep swapping baskets.
ReplyDeleteMight be a little to much meat left on that bone. C'mon guys..finish strong.
ReplyDeleteThat sign had to send some folks a subliminal message.
ReplyDeletenice D AU....
ReplyDeleteGood grief this has gotten ugly.
ReplyDeleteNO defense NO defense
