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.
Susbstance
ReplyDeleteNice work, DL.
ReplyDeleteYes, but was it substantive?
ReplyDeleteGood news on the Tourney Mr. Jay G. Tate. Just sucks that you have to go Little Rock.
i think Jay G. calls DL just before a new thread
ReplyDeleteI know a guy in Little Rock named Gene. If you see him, say hi for me, Jay G.
ReplyDeleteNice work Brad Zimanek and Jay G. Without a doubt the women's team deserves the coverage. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHarrison you're speaking in third person and talking conspiracy all in one day. I thank I luv you.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to watch ESPN for a second during halftime.
ReplyDeleteNot a SECOND!
Harrison thinks the government told you to say that.
ReplyDeleteProps to those in high places who get things done.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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!
now I'm all twitterpated
ReplyDeleteRage against the machine, YoungPJ!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you follow on twitter?
ReplyDeleteBesides the HABOTN, of course.
I finally signed up for twitter, and I'm learnin the ropes.
Which blackberry app is better TwitterBerry or TinyTwitter?
HATE UAT!
ReplyDeleteHATE EARLY!
HATE OFTEN!
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.
ReplyDeleteCan we go back to calling it the men's team instead of males? Males playing males just sounds kind of icky.
ReplyDeleteWe could call them the Gentlemen Tigers.
ReplyDeleteJGT, 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.
ReplyDeleteI hope Fester puts Philip over his knee and spanks him until he says "Please stop."
ReplyDeleteLadies & Gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteI like... Pat yourself on the head, Mon. Well done.
That would definitely be males playing males..gross
ReplyDeleteHarrison,
ReplyDeleteYou just need to always check for more wisdom from JGT....
Miller - Let me suggest where you may pat yourself...
ReplyDelete??
ReplyDeleteI said well done... What's with the angst?
i think i'm as smart as I'm ever gonna get DL. I couldn't cram any more wisdom in
ReplyDeleteLOL I'm sorry, Miller. I'm just old and hypersensitive to being patted on the head like a good puppy. Please forgive me.
ReplyDeletePatting 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.
ReplyDeleteI had a head injury one time, and I was hypersensitive to being patted on the head. It never interfered with my internet life, though.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I hope we don't play like gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteI hope we play like the meanest sonofaguns in the valley.
only if I didn't take naps all day I'd be quicker to respond to new threads
ReplyDeletewas it an open head wound michael?
ReplyDeleteActually a concussion. They just don't make backyard pools as deep as they should, you know?
ReplyDeletetrue dat. That pet manataee I caught never stood a chance. Also apparently chlorine is bad for them
ReplyDeleteThat is sound reasoning, Miller.

ReplyDeleteFor all beer nerds like me- Alabama house passed gourmet beer law today. On to the extremely rational, and well functioning Alabama Senate
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteWho here eats Ramen Noodles?
ReplyDeletei wish i could give you a high five for that sweet pun
ReplyDeleteY'all are way too cool to be doing "high fives," right?
ReplyDeleteHand raised on the ramen noodle question.
ReplyDeleteNot good ol' Harrison. He thinks the CIA is trying to end high fives
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to the Alabama Senate, attempting to remove $1 billion (about half of the value) for a 10-year road and bridge project.
ReplyDeleteSo when things go south, and you want someone to blame, remember:
It's their asphalt.
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.
ReplyDeleteman another sweet pun!! it don't get no better than this. HIGH FIVE!
ReplyDeletenot there yet Bin. STill has to pass the Senate, where it got stuck last year and never made it through
ReplyDeleteNova 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.
ReplyDeleteI like that place too Mon. My dad used to live there and we wore that place out
ReplyDeleteMonica,.,.,.
ReplyDeletedid ya even have to ask???
I invented Ramen Noodles... The chinese stole it from me...
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...
ReplyDeleteDear Leader! Of course...Damn those Chinese.
ReplyDeleteI won $3K in Facebook Poker today and have a guy in Columbia willing to help improve my game. It's been a productive day.
ReplyDeleteThe Breckenridge Brewery in CO. made some good beers. I abused the 6 dollar jug refills there
ReplyDeleteRamen Noodles- one of my daughters 4 basic food groups. They tend to make me hungry for some real food.
ReplyDeleteHarrison, 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.
ReplyDeleteWeagle - Is that true? The thing about the threat to send letters?
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a road trip to me, Bin. And is that some of your fine culinary fare in your picture?
ReplyDeleteNothing like having someone else's morality thrust upon you. Probably just another terrified biggot/racist/heterosexual.
ReplyDeleteI just heard on Finebaum that ESPN will broadcast Alabama's spring football game.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a little much...Broadcasting practice?
Mon,
ReplyDeleteYeah, 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.
That was the dinner special last night. Deep fried Tasso grits with Grilled gulf shrimp and an abita amber honey creole glaze, sexy eatin.
ReplyDeleteFSJ,
ReplyDeleteWhy 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. ;)
The "dranks perty good line" was classic, but also infuriating.
ReplyDeleteI was in Taco Mac and Vortex in Atlanta last weekend. TacoMac has 375 beers! It was glorious.
ReplyDeleteBut Harrison, we got Coors, Budweiser, Miller Lite....
ReplyDeleteI wanna know what's wrong wit the beer we got?
lol
we got the high life!
ReplyDeleteWho 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...
ReplyDeleteIf I smoked I have a cigarette after reading that, Bin.
How do I get in on one of these poker games and how do I collect my money?
ReplyDeleteWell, 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.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I must attend a meeting until shortly before tipoff ... continue hating until I return.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
HATE UAT

ReplyDeleteI will pose the question to you all and let you deliberate.
ReplyDeleteDo 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).
Miller,
ReplyDeleteTinyTwitter has daily limits. I think limits are bad. That's why I won't sign up for a free flickr account.
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?
ReplyDeleteAlright 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.
ReplyDeleteA 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.
Good job on the Women's tourny Jay.
ReplyDeleteDMiller..
ReplyDeleteI'm up for the tourney thing...
DMiller- count me on on the tourney. I prefer yahoo because I can look at it at work.
ReplyDeleteReading this blog is as comforting as watching an old Auburn football game (where Auburn wins) on a snowy Sunday afternoon
ReplyDeleteThank you all for this daily comfort
Thank you Jay G. Tate for making it possible
Is anyone else nervous about the game tonight? I haven't been nervous about a BASKETBALL game in forever.
ReplyDeleteyeah I am definenitely nervous...almost like the first 8 games of last season...WAR EAGLE Cincy!! BEAT BAMA!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle!! Beat Bama!
Beat Bama!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about that for substance!
Two thoughts
ReplyDelete1) 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.
Hey peeps. I have arrived in Tuscaloosa. A new thread involving DeWanna Bonner has been posted.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how, but Greg can teach me so count me in, Miller.
ReplyDeleteI'm with all of you who have never been so excited about a basketball game as this one. It's very cool.
