On the road ... for the first time

Hey everyone. Though I haven't been very active on the HABOTN today, we've been hard at work behind the scenes. I have good news to report.

I now believe the HABOTN (and the Advertiser) will be attending the SEC Women's Tournament in Little Rock later this week. Big ups to my sports editor, Brad Zimanek, for helping right a wrong. Auburn is an outstanding team and deserves to be covered. Looks like they'll get proper coverage here.

So that's good.

As for our immediate future, we'll be on the scene in Tuscaloosa around 7 p.m. this evening. Please join us for conversation and frequent live updates from Coleman Coliseum, where your male Auburn Tigers play the males from U. Alabama.

Nice work, DL.

3:51 PM  
Blogger j-z said...

Yes, but was it substantive?

Good news on the Tourney Mr. Jay G. Tate. Just sucks that you have to go Little Rock.

3:56 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

i think Jay G. calls DL just before a new thread

3:56 PM  
Blogger michael said...

I know a guy in Little Rock named Gene. If you see him, say hi for me, Jay G.

3:57 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Nice work Brad Zimanek and Jay G. Without a doubt the women's team deserves the coverage. Cheers!

Harrison you're speaking in third person and talking conspiracy all in one day. I thank I luv you.

I refuse to watch ESPN for a second during halftime.

Not a SECOND!

4:00 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

Harrison thinks the government told you to say that.

Props to those in high places who get things done.

And props to those in lower places who do all the hard work to enable the guys in high places to get things done.

Oh, and HATE $puat!

Besides the HABOTN, of course.
I finally signed up for twitter, and I'm learnin the ropes.

JG - Does the game start at 7:00 or at 8:00? Say hi to Coach Pearson for me and tell him that even though I have known him and liked him for 33 years, I hope we beat their eyes out tonight.

4:07 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

Can we go back to calling it the men's team instead of males? Males playing males just sounds kind of icky.

4:10 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

We could call them the Gentlemen Tigers.

4:13 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

JGT, you shoulda left a little early and gone up 65, hit up PF Chang's for an early dinner, the over on 20 and came back on 82.

4:15 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

I hope Fester puts Philip over his knee and spanks him until he says "Please stop."

4:15 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

Ladies & Gentlemen.
I like... Pat yourself on the head, Mon. Well done.

4:17 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

That would definitely be males playing males..gross

4:17 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

Harrison,

You just need to always check for more wisdom from JGT....

4:18 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Miller - Let me suggest where you may pat yourself...

4:18 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

??
I said well done... What's with the angst?

4:20 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

i think i'm as smart as I'm ever gonna get DL. I couldn't cram any more wisdom in

4:20 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

LOL I'm sorry, Miller. I'm just old and hypersensitive to being patted on the head like a good puppy. Please forgive me.

4:23 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

Patting on the back is overplayed. I do head pats. For wifey, its a pat on the butt. But, I figured you would prefer a head pat rather than a pat on the butt.

4:27 PM  
Blogger michael said...

I had a head injury one time, and I was hypersensitive to being patted on the head. It never interfered with my internet life, though.

4:28 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Personally, I hope we don't play like gentlemen.

I hope we play like the meanest sonofaguns in the valley.

Blogger Harrison said...

was it an open head wound michael?

4:32 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Actually a concussion. They just don't make backyard pools as deep as they should, you know?

4:33 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

true dat. That pet manataee I caught never stood a chance. Also apparently chlorine is bad for them

4:35 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

That is sound reasoning, Miller.

For all beer nerds like me- Alabama house passed gourmet beer law today. On to the extremely rational, and well functioning Alabama Senate

4:36 PM  
Blogger michael said...

I too have been following the gourmet beer stuff, Harrison. There are some real morons in the Senate, so I don't have my hops up. Get it? Hops instead of hopes!!! Oh yeah!

4:37 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Who here eats Ramen Noodles?

4:37 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

i wish i could give you a high five for that sweet pun

4:39 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Y'all are way too cool to be doing "high fives," right?

4:41 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

Hand raised on the ramen noodle question.

4:44 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

Not good ol' Harrison. He thinks the CIA is trying to end high fives

4:44 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

I'm listening to the Alabama Senate, attempting to remove $1 billion (about half of the value) for a 10-year road and bridge project.

So when things go south, and you want someone to blame, remember:

It's their asphalt.

4:47 PM  
Blogger BinOBA said...

I don't drink that often but i'm glad Alabama passed this law. Maybe a decent microbrewery will pop up along the coast here.

4:48 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

man another sweet pun!! it don't get no better than this. HIGH FIVE!

4:49 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

not there yet Bin. STill has to pass the Senate, where it got stuck last year and never made it through

4:50 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Nova and I had dinner a place with a really nice microbrewery. And I know I've said it a million times, but that one on the river in Chattanooga is so fine.

4:51 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

I like that place too Mon. My dad used to live there and we wore that place out

4:54 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

Monica,.,.,.

did ya even have to ask???

I invented Ramen Noodles... The chinese stole it from me...

4:56 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

That grits and shrimp dish and the only beer I've ever had that I could love as much as I used to love diet coke. sigh...

4:56 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Dear Leader! Of course...Damn those Chinese.

4:58 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

I won $3K in Facebook Poker today and have a guy in Columbia willing to help improve my game. It's been a productive day.

5:02 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

The Breckenridge Brewery in CO. made some good beers. I abused the 6 dollar jug refills there

5:04 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

Ramen Noodles- one of my daughters 4 basic food groups. They tend to make me hungry for some real food.

5:06 PM  
Blogger weagle251 said...

Harrison, I am looking forward to the sound bites from this year's debate on the House floor (What's wrong wit the beer we got? It drink pretty good!). Today, the Hon. Rep. Holmes from Montgomery threatened to send a notice to all churches in the districts whose Democratic Representatives voted yes on the measure to let those parishioners how their reps voted. Hilarious.

5:07 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Weagle - Is that true? The thing about the threat to send letters?

5:08 PM  
Blogger BinOBA said...

Great brews in Williamsport Pa. Worked in the Bullfrog Brewery and Abbey Wright Brewery/Valley Inn.Both made some amazing brews, Otto's in state college has em both beat though, that guy (charlie schnable) is a flippin master.

5:08 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Sounds like a road trip to me, Bin. And is that some of your fine culinary fare in your picture?

5:09 PM  
Blogger BinOBA said...

Nothing like having someone else's morality thrust upon you. Probably just another terrified biggot/racist/heterosexual.

5:11 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

I just heard on Finebaum that ESPN will broadcast Alabama's spring football game.

Isn't that a little much...Broadcasting practice?

5:11 PM  
Blogger weagle251 said...

Mon,

Yeah, I was listening to the live feed from the House while he had the podium. He also equated voting for this bill to being against Civil Rights and trotted out the "We have much bigger things to worry about than alcohol content," defense.

5:11 PM  
Blogger BinOBA said...

That was the dinner special last night. Deep fried Tasso grits with Grilled gulf shrimp and an abita amber honey creole glaze, sexy eatin.

5:12 PM  
Blogger weagle251 said...

FSJ,

Why not? They did it for Florida last year. If you follow that progression, then you should be MNC's by next January. That should make it 15, by Rivals' count. ;)

5:13 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

The "dranks perty good line" was classic, but also infuriating.

5:14 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

I was in Taco Mac and Vortex in Atlanta last weekend. TacoMac has 375 beers! It was glorious.

5:15 PM  
Blogger weagle251 said...

But Harrison, we got Coors, Budweiser, Miller Lite....

I wanna know what's wrong wit the beer we got?

lol

5:16 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

we got the high life!

5:16 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Who here will admit to voting for that person? Nevermind! I'm going to cleanse my mind of yucky legislative thoughts by pretending I can smell Deep fried Tasso grits with Grilled gulf shrimp and an abita amber honey creole glaze...

If I smoked I have a cigarette after reading that, Bin.

5:17 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

How do I get in on one of these poker games and how do I collect my money?

5:21 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Well, it's just pretend money so that may be a little less than satisfying...However, I can just send you an invite so you'll get the app. if you like.

5:23 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Unfortunately, I must attend a meeting until shortly before tipoff ... continue hating until I return.

Thank you.

HATE UAT

I will pose the question to you all and let you deliberate.
Do we want to do a HABOTN Tourny Pickem for the NCAA Tourney? If there is enough interest I will take charge and set up the group on either ESPN or Yahoo (whichever is preferred). A follow up question is do we wanna have a buy in per bracket entry, winner takes the pot (not a Michael Phelps reference).

6:13 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Miller,

TinyTwitter has daily limits. I think limits are bad. That's why I won't sign up for a free flickr account.

6:14 PM  
Blogger wartiger said...

Jay-ok so you got the womens tourney taking care of what about the mens..would it help if AU wins tonight and then again againist LSU?

6:14 PM  
Blogger Norm said...

Alright peeps, I have returned after an afternoon run, shower, bathing the tigercub, feeding him dinner, etc and I'm now caught up on my reading.

A couple of points on the reading catching up I've done since I left you:
(from previous thread) Mon - I'm not sure what I did to deserve that. I'm deeply, hurt.
(from this thread) Mon - I'm relatively certain that the chances of there being more than a handful of actual Hotties that voted for said Representative are about as likely as my tigercub driving a golf ball 300 yards this weekend. (FYI - he's 2 y/o, it ain't gonna happen)

Now, he's eaten and it's time for him to hit the sack, so I'll be leaving y'all again for a bit. Mon, see if you can refrain from inflicting deep and everlasting pain on me while I'm gone.

That's the kind of pain that even Lower Tabs can't help.

6:16 PM  
Blogger schley said...

Good job on the Women's tourny Jay.

6:17 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

DMiller..

I'm up for the tourney thing...

6:23 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

DMiller- count me on on the tourney. I prefer yahoo because I can look at it at work.

6:31 PM  
Blogger GregaPress said...

Reading this blog is as comforting as watching an old Auburn football game (where Auburn wins) on a snowy Sunday afternoon

Thank you all for this daily comfort

Thank you Jay G. Tate for making it possible

6:52 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Is anyone else nervous about the game tonight? I haven't been nervous about a BASKETBALL game in forever.

6:57 PM  
Blogger wartiger said...

yeah I am definenitely nervous...almost like the first 8 games of last season...WAR EAGLE Cincy!! BEAT BAMA!!

7:04 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

I can honestly say I don't think i have ever cared so much about Auburn winning a basketball game. There seems to be a lot riding on it.

War Eagle!! Beat Bama!

7:09 PM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

Beat Bama!!!!!!

How about that for substance!

7:10 PM  
Blogger Wakeriderof87 said...

Two thoughts
1) I'm horrible at them but I would be down for a NCAA bracket.

2) Jay G, if you come down to Tampa for the mens tourney you have a beer coming your way from this guy.

7:12 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Hey peeps. I have arrived in Tuscaloosa. A new thread involving DeWanna Bonner has been posted.

7:17 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

I don't know how, but Greg can teach me so count me in, Miller.

I'm with all of you who have never been so excited about a basketball game as this one. It's very cool.
