HABOTN FAQ (first edition)

Feel free to make additions.

HABOTN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is this the "HABOTN"?
It's the Hottest Auburn Blog on The Net®. I was searching for a name that would distinguish our community from others that aspire to be this awesome. Dubbing it the hottest seemed interesting -- and the assertion can't be debunked. Try it.

When was the launch date?

March 1, 2006. Nobody attended.

Where are you located?
I live in Montgomery, Ala., and I cover Auburn for the Montgomery Advertiser. It's a newspaper.

Who pays you to blog?
I can't answer that.

Why is this free?
Because there is no payment involved.

What is "The Ring of Fire"?
Only the best and most veteran commenters qualify for the RoF, which is the highest level of the HABOTN hall of fame. We also recognize up-and-coming posters with "Feeling The Heat" and "Notable Newcomers" categories.

How do I get into the hall of fame?

One must be a frequent HABOTN visitor and somehow add to the site.

What about Michael? He makes no sense.
He doesn't make sense to you. He makes perfect sense to me.

Why is Dear Leader so good at making the first post to each thread?

It's one of life's great mysteries.

What is a "campfire"?
That's our term for live chats. We hold them at least once per week during the football season; every few weeks during other times of the year.

What is "puppet hour"?

It's the time of the day where a few of the more nonsensical HOTTIES gather and talk any number of off-topic subjects, such as puppets or cheerleading or any other non-sports related subject. Though the official time frame is 4-5 pm every weekday, a Puppet Hour can naturally occur at any point. Puppet Hour received its name due to the hatred and fear of puppets shared by the participants in the early days of these gatherings. Michael and Harrison often mitigate/fuel these discussions.

What is a "BANHAMMER"?
It's a large, golden sledgehammer use to punish annoying campfire particpants. I generally drop the BANHAMMER, though a few selected HOTTIES have been entrusted with the mighty weapon.

Why have you disabled anonymous posting?
We like our little enclave. We don't like the nastiness that has troubled many other sites in the Blogosphere. Anonymous posting is a conduit for much of that nastiness. Therefore, Einstein was right.

Why do people make references to Jay going to ESPN?
Jay has no comment on that matter. If a deal has been offered, he has not seen it. He communicates with his financial adviser periodically and promises swift dissemination of any information regarding his job status.

Where is the HABOTN swag?
It's in my drawer. And lots of other drawers. We sold HABOTN t-shirts during the 2008 football season, more than 100 of them, and they're now off the market. We expect to see them in the National Blog Hall of Fame one day. We may make more someday. Or not. Only one HABOTN hoodie exists.

Hoopie said..Luv..good point about 90 deg in September. I never considered that recruits from up north would dodge the heat. Wonder how big a factor that is?

Well, I'm from up north and the heat is big factor for me. I sweat and complain until Nov. that "this isn't football weather."

Blogger Dear Leader said...

One October day in 1998, Dear leader climbed Mt. Paektu, the highest mountain in Korea called the ancestral place of the nation.

Standing on its summit, he saw spectacular and magnificent sunrise tinging the sky with crimson, and said excitedly: “I feel the glowing sunrise is indicative of the victory of the socialist cause, and fresh courage and strength is surging up in me.” Then he continued that he further strengthened his resolve and readiness to accomplish without fail the revolutionary cause pioneered by President Kim Il Sung, father of socialist Korea, whenever he looked at the sunrise over the Mt. Paektu, I saw that was Auburn will soon see a great win streak over Alabama (crimson) only to be halted by an offensive experiment and Dear Leader will post first and lead all HOTTIEs in revolution.

Welcome to the HABOTN from wartiger..I am not as frequent a poster as some but I do lurk quite a bit...I would suggest respecting the RoF members due to there never ending whit and knowledge...Mon is probably my favorite Hottie tho Sensi seems to have the most knowledge and Micheal is well...Micheal..he cracks me up and I always have to reread his comments to understand..I love the challenge...As for our leader..he works tirelessly for us..he's not an AU fan but I don't hold that against you Jay...Jay answers my questions no matter how stupid or ridiculous they may be...Jay is the man and the best a reporting AU sports..I mean THE BEST...my last piece of advice new HOTTIES..stay respectful..I have been fortunate to avoid the BANHAMMER thus far but I have heard terrible things happen to the poor sap on which it is laid...WAR EAGLE!!

What part of mass are you moving to?

I would say it's moderately different up here. People are much more private, so don't feel weird if people aren't overly outgoing and open up to you. People are typically very polite, or at least in NH they are; can't say for certain if Mass is the same.
You'll like the snow until late Feb and March. It's fun, but after a while you just get tired of it and look forward to spring.

Wartiger..I grew up in Al, graduated from AU and moved to Atl. In the past 29 years I lived 3 years in So Fla, 2 years In Cleveland, Oh and 4 years in Arizona. Back in the day, I travelled and developed Real Estate all over the Northeast. Folks are generally great everywhere. It's up to you.

You will be kidded as a stereotypical southerner b/c of your accent. This is most true in the NE US. My experience is that good manners are excepted everywhere.

Arizona---had a great time. Everyone was from somewhere else, active and open.

Cleveland---Midwesterners with hearts of gold.

So Fla---Folks from all over and active. It took longer to meet/make friends. I was young.

Lived in Atl/Ga before, in between and after those adventures and wouldn't change any of it.

Embrace the adventure and Godspeed.

It's a country steak house off of 29. It's where they have tht alpha psi rodeo now. It's a privately owned restaurant.

That sounds like your kind of place, EZ.

6:18 PM  
Blogger BigEZ said...

Yeah, I went to the gym today and now I feel like something hardy. Guess it's a go then.

What do you have goin' on tonight there Mon?

I'm holding down my end of the sofa, playing poker, buying tickets to see Buddy Guy. It's raining like crazy.

Very interesting blog and something like this should probably be posted early in the football season when people rapidly pile upon the air Chizik bandwagon. I am looking forward to it.

As for any criticism of Michael, he shall be defended. As a matter of fact I would like to nominate Michael as official judge of humor. He should distinguish between something being funny, cruel, or the ironic cruel yet funny. Long live Michael.

I am out of town dealing with a family emergency, but I do have the HABOTN in my heart.

An explanation of the kicker on a stick concept might should probably be added to this blog. I think it is an innovation in sports that was originally proposed here.

Steve, I agree.

Please submit the "kicker on a stick" entry to me when you get a chance:

I know you haven't been letting Tim on lately, but do you think maybe you could give him an FAQ entry?

Also, Monica came up with the term Banhammerbation awhile ago to describe when someone deletes their own post.

Billy Gillispie = Tony Franklin of Hoops

Blogger michael said...

I love Ben. I can never get enough of Ben or Desmond. Superbly acted and well written characters.

7:56 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Steve - thanks for getting my back. But was someone bashing me? Anyway, I got your back too for all the shared Tubs love and Chizik hiring anger last fall. Maybe you, me, and Hoopie can form an alliance called Sticks in the Mud.

Billy won 22 games.

8:26 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

How about "Sticks in the Mud on a Stick?"

Just kidding.

Other FAQ possibilities:

1. Why is a Hall of Fame coach from Louisville commenting regularly on an Auburn blog?

2. What is the HABOTN Hottie of the Week?

Glossary of terms

"Invalid negative speculation"
"Beat hack"
"Mea Culpa Project"
"Wario"
