Hey everyone. I'm going to fill in for Doug Amos today during the WMSP afternoon show. We'll be discussing plenty of Auburn-related topics because, you know, that's what I do.The show runs from noon-2 CDT.
In Montgomery, tune into AM 740.
You outliers (ok, that's most of you) can stream the program here: http://www.sportsradio740.com
See you afterward for some pre-NIT chatter. Jeff Lebo speaks with the media at 2:15 p.m. CDT.
uno...substance
ReplyDeleteI hate Bama
ReplyDeleteI second that thought.
ReplyDeleteHABOTN radio lives!
ReplyDeletewon't be able to tune in today, but I'm sure it'll be great....
ReplyDeletemorning hotties.
ReplyDeleteJay Geezy, I picked up a copy on NBA Live 09 last week for the 360. Ite pretty sweet.
Jay G, you're like that guy who always tells you what the gift is before it's given, ruining the suspense and surprise. I hate suspense.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Hotties. What about Lady Vols going down BIG time. I knew this was not the usual Vol team but that was a shocker. Go Auburn Ladies and Mens team.
ReplyDeletethere ever been a better basketball (video) game than NBA JAM? Booooommmmshakalakaaaa!
ReplyDeleteSpring football...I can smell it in the air...and then start sneezing because of all the pollen!
ReplyDeleteHe's heating up... HE'S ON FIRE!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, did the 2009-10 University of Tennessee at Ob-Knoxville (sorry, Scottie B) women's hoops off-season conditioning program begin at 12:01 a.m. today?
ReplyDeleteYes and drill sargent Pat is scremming her head off.
ReplyDeletePat and me are through. Losing in the first round is not sexy.
ReplyDeleteWhat adisappointing weekend for the baseball team. I had hoped we would be different this year. Win against lower class teams pre-SEC and then go into the tamk.
ReplyDeleteNBA JAM! Man, that game was awesome. It was hard to beat the Stockton & Malone combo. Minnesota also had Chuck "The Rifleman" Person.
ReplyDeleteOne of history's great disappointments was when NBA Jam came out on Genesis but didn't have Shaq in it. The arcade version had Shaq!
ReplyDeleteno doubt eh--that stockton..malone combo is the reason I am a Jazz fan now..
ReplyDeletedid anyone see pat summit's interview on espn during the selection show?
ReplyDeleteshe was talking about how today's players lacked the internal drive and motivation etc. that some of her other championship teams had and how it was more difficult to communicate with them now because they are more about "me" and don't like coaching.
then the camera switched back to the shot of her surrounded by her players and they were all kind of looking at each other like, "so that's how she really feels about us." not that she wasn't right... all those gals were considered the best of the best and probably never heard anything else until day one of practice at UT.
I hate Karl Malone but I have mad respect for John Stockton because he kept it old school with the length of the inseam on his game shorts.
ReplyDeleteshesaid likes the short shorts
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of criteria that make up whether or not a like an athlete. Has nothing to do with how good they may or may not be. Does it make me shallow? Absolutely, but I don't care. :)
For example, I hate Tyler Hansbrough because he has the "crazy eyes."
Do you think Stockton wears regular shorts that short also? And do you think his swim trunks are also that short? These are the questions I need answers to.
ReplyDeleteShesaid, I bet you hate watching Tenn men's team play b-ball then. Longest shorts ever (oxymoron). During the NCAAs one of the announcers kept saying Chism looked like he was playing in his pajamas.
ReplyDeleteI'm bored
ReplyDeleteTyler Hansbrough has that perpetual look of someone that just had a fly go up his nose.
ReplyDeletejhag you look bored
ReplyDeleteWait , chicks don't like the crazy eyes? Boy, I would have had a lot more success with the ladies over the years if I had known that.
ReplyDeleteJhag ... for those of us 40somethings who live boring lives ... how was football practice? Did DMiller show up with the DMiller System offense? Or did offensive line coach Peter Frankenschmidt and running backs coach Michael undermine him from the get-go? We know wide receiver coach Harrison was basically useless. You don't have to tell us that.
ReplyDeleteWill, you are correct. I hate watching Tennessee play. I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to know that Hoosiers is one of my favorite movies of all time.
ReplyDeleteI think the shorts are longer nowadays to prevent wardrobe malfunctions. If John Stockton's heydey was in HD, you wouldn't want to watch.
ReplyDeleteUT has an interesting collection of characters(coaching-wise) with Summit, Kiffin, and Bruce Pearl. Throw "Big O" Orgeron in the mix and there should never be a dull moment in Knoxville.
ReplyDeleteShesaid, the other night when we got up on Tulsa in the last few mins, I looked out on the floor and we had put Jake Drum and Drew Smith in. Tulsa had four guys on the floor who had a similar skin tone as Drum and Smith. A guy behind me said, "What the H is this, Hoosiers II?" It was pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteJet, the DMiller system is just nuts. I just want to line up and hit people in the mouth. Not literally, because then you would get a personal foul called on you, but you know, make helmets hit each other and stuff.
ReplyDeleteshesaid, I saw yesterday on our bracket challenge that you had moved up to 2nd (or 3rd - I can't remember and I can't check it here at work) place at one point. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteJet- football practice gotin the way of my tee time. I think my message of get open and catch the ball was heard by my recievers anyway. It's not that hard
ReplyDeleteHarrison, you are doing excellent on the bracket challenge too. Congrats!
ReplyDeletethanks luv. but it's just a teaser.I will never ever win one.
ReplyDeleteDoes it make you guys think I am really smart?
Absolutely, Harrison! I was disappointed to see that michael had slipped.
ReplyDeletewell, either that or you're a really good guesser!
ReplyDeletenope. I am really smart
ReplyDeleteMy genius will be shown by the end of things. I will be shocked it I don't win the whole darn thing. Shocked I tell ya!
ReplyDeleteThe comment on Hansbrough made me think of my observation on Notre Dame's Luke Harangody, he looks like the missing O'Doyle brother from Billy Madison.
ReplyDeleteO'Doyle rules!!
ReplyDeletemichael, you might have tough time because Gnome has been holding steady at #1.
ReplyDeleteThis bracket challenge has shown who luv really loves and who she could care less about.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick one on spring practice - do you think they're going to have the qb's and receivers do more than that little quick step at around half speed before they throw and/or catch at half speed? I understand its practice and by no means am I a football source, but it seemed odd that that wasthe only footage we got from Jay last year, and I'm still not sure if that was the "system" or just warming up.
ReplyDeleteThat has nothing to do with it, PF. Before it started, Harrison said he'd be at the bottom and here he is close to the top. michael said he'd be the winner and he has slipped down to 20-something.
ReplyDeleteWell, I mentioned that I was participating.
ReplyDeleteIf my oh-so-wonderful (NOT!) memory serves me, you had started out slow, but you made a surge during the second round.
ReplyDeletenegative. I suck. that's pretty much it.
ReplyDeleteand Jhag called me an SEC homer for picking MissState to win some, but he failed to see that I picked LSU to lose in the first round.
I can't check it at work, but I could have sworn you moved up.
ReplyDeleteI was also surprised to see that Jet wasn't doing so well.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised at myself, I suck at brackets. I had a few decent picks but I outguessed myself this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out Luv! I haven't even had the heart to check it so I was unaware of any temporary success.
ReplyDeleteWill, that's hilarious. I'd love it if they had a Hoosiers II but I don't think Gene Hackman's got another one in him.
Luv,
ReplyDeleteI'm just pacing myself.
I only have 12 of the final 16, 7 of my 8 and all of my Final Four.
Translated, I'm toast.
That doesn't sound like you're toast.
ReplyDeleteGood work on the RT today.
ReplyDeleteI have archive of it if any of you want. Email me.
It's "could NOT care less" hotties.
ReplyDeleteProwler, I love your tiger avatar. It's so prowlerish.
Monica,
ReplyDeleteI could care less.
Your being persnickety about the use of words and language. Its annoying.
Just joshin' ya.
Jet - Just because you're ill about your daughter having a boyfriend is no reason to be mean to me.
ReplyDelete:-)
i've enjoyed the HABOTN radio so far. fantastic as always.
ReplyDeleteI find "could care less" a perfectly acceptable sarcastic version of the phrase "I couldn't care less", and it has been present in American language since at least the 1960's.
ReplyDeleteIf I see any of that chopping the feet while dropping back and lobbing the ball halfassed this spring I'm gonna throw up
ReplyDeleteJet,
ReplyDeleteIn response to you "economic stimulus" comment from the last thread...
I typically believe in the same type of stimulus... And would be all for hiring some to lay the tile (and paint too)... But, when my own money is tight, I gotta vut back somewhere... So, it looks like I have to do it myself this time.
I would, however, rethink that position if you were to feel so strongly about the economic stimulus needs as to pay for the work to be done yourself... It would be a nice gesture, and would help out tremendously. It would also leave me with much more HABOTN time over the next month or so.
'Buggy business'. nice JG.
ReplyDeleteIf Josh believes what he's saying, then someone get him to a hospital to treat his closed head injury.
ReplyDeletejosh,,,quit rehashing the TT era...let's move on
ReplyDeleteJay G doing a great job on the radio. He is really laying out the truth on CTT and his recruiting "efforts."
ReplyDeletePoor Hag is having a bad day. :-(
ReplyDeleteI agree with whatever WEG is saying even though I'm not listening to the program.
ReplyDeleteDepressed - Big Love was C-R-A-Z-Y, huh? They left some great stuff for next season.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletethanks Mon! I can only take so much of Josh and his negativity. He thinks he's Paul Finebaum!
ReplyDeleteBag is fine. it was pretty funny listening to JGT correct him on the Chizik 'recruiting nationally' deal. :)
ReplyDeleteMonica, the Big Love season finale was fantastic! Do you think Roman is really dead? And what will it mean to have Nikki's daughter in the Family? I am sorry I missed you after the show last night, but I stated that Big Love ending makes me feel like I do when football season ends.
ReplyDeletewho is this calling Jay out? must be a bammer
ReplyDeleteThe caller broke out the "did you ever play basketball" line.
ReplyDeleteThe answer to that question is ALWAYS, "I was the point guard on the 1978 Indiana State team."
ReplyDeleteI think he has some legitimate points regarding Lebo.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure Jeff Lebo even lived in Chattanooga when he coached UTC. Nobody ever saw him out anywhere.
ReplyDeleteDid this guy say Lebo brought fundamentals in?
ReplyDeleteFree throws?
Jacking 3's every time down the court?
Just some Hater!!!!
ReplyDeleteJim just got very defensive...how can he not know who Jay is if he is a real fan?
ReplyDeleteAs one who is FIRMLY OFF the Lebo Bandwagon (since we are 11-2 after I jumped off) ...
ReplyDeleteLebo's problems:
1. With the exception of Frankie Sullivan, has not made necessary inroads recruiting instate -- particularly as UAT was starting to crumble across the way.
2. Does not do the necessary things to market the program.
Please note that I didn't include the FT shooting, which I don't see as much as coaching, but as a mental block that has spread among the team.
I like red delicious apples. Cliche I know, but they are so darn good.
ReplyDeleteWEG,
ReplyDeleteHe had know clue who out Gran Poo-PA is! he better recognize!!!
I still think AU has been winning lately despite Lebo.
ReplyDeleteA beat writer wonderlic would be a great idea! It would also be pretty dang hilarious.
Jet,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!!!
Boxhead - what about just plain red apples? Your thoughts on those?
ReplyDeleteD. Miller,
ReplyDeleteI bet a lot of Bammer Beat writers fail.... they have a box maked agree totally with Saban... Yes or No?
From someone who has not lived in the Gump that long...
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued about the story behind why JGT got kicked off the ASU campus. Spill it.
If it is just a plain red apple without any hints of green or yellow, then it is most likely of the red delicious variety. So, my thoughts on plain red apples mimic my thoughts on red delicious apples.
ReplyDeleteI love Gala Apples!
ReplyDeleteDmiller, I think the guys are defintely "junk yard dogs" that want to win despite Lebo
I've got my tickets for Tues nite...anyone else?!
About recruiting bball players in state: do we have a lot of top recruits coming about of alabama?
ReplyDeleteJust so we all know, Jay G. doesn't think we are hot. At least, not as hot as Jenna Fisher or whoever. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell that's just wrong. I for one am very hot.
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed to hear that Jay and the other reporters would not be allowed to watch practices. I can understand a coach restricting who is allowed to watch, but why should the reporters even show up if all they can do is repeat what the coach tells them(a la Saban)? That becomes a PR event rather than reporting doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI feel slighted... Slightly.
ReplyDeleteI am extremely hot.
ReplyDeleteIm slightly hot
ReplyDeleteI can accurate spell hot 96% of the time.
ReplyDelete60% of the time, it works every time.
ReplyDeleteHis name is "humpty", pronounced with an "umpty".
ReplyDeleteLOL Depressed you're great!
ReplyDeleteI'm tempted to think Roman isn't dead because they want us to think he is! HA However, that actor looks terrible and I think is in poor health. So...
As far as Nikki's daughter it's just another happy family member. HA
I think Bill deciding to start his own church is a HOOT and opens up at least 3 more season worth of material!
Fuji > all other apples
ReplyDeleteAnd we do have some HOT hotties. That's all I'm saying about that.
ReplyDeletegreat radio work today JG. the "Humpty Dance" sing-a-long was worth the listen. ha.
ReplyDeleteFrancis McMoron is hot.
ReplyDeleteHarrison wears Sex Panther very often. It's quite pungent!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Mon on the Fuji. Not necessarily the "prettiest" but mighty tasty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the avatar comment earlier, Mon!
ReplyDeleteReally though, I think we can all agree that I'm the hottest of the hot.
ReplyDeleteFuji and gala are both good choices. Certainly sexier picks than the red delicious variety.
ReplyDeleteyou guys sure know your apples
ReplyDeleteJay G, great job on the radio show. First time I have listened, it was very entertaining.
ReplyDeleteNow apples are sexy!
ReplyDelete"You like apples?"
ReplyDelete"How 'bout them apples?"
Jet- I agree with you about Lebo. I'm happy that we are better this year, but my long term feeling about Lebo as Auburn's coach is still icy cold.
ReplyDeleteI like peaches.
ReplyDeleteI like rice...it's really good if you're hungry and you want to eat a thousand of something.
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought of apples as sexy.
ReplyDeleteNow peaches are sexy
ReplyDeleteThanks for listening!
ReplyDeleteI generally keep it pretty real on the radio. Probably only appeals to a certain percentage of the Auburn population.
Prowler- I saw Mitch Hedberg right before he died. Hilarious
ReplyDeleteHave you all ever heard Chizik say he was going to start recruiting nationally?
ReplyDeleteI've heard just the opposite.
Harrison - did you see him on the Comedy Central tour with Dave Attell and Lewis Black?
ReplyDeletei guess you would consider the Hotties that 'percentage', eh?
ReplyDeletewe are quite a strange brew, aren't we?!
Harrison, I got to see him twice...once at the Stardome in the Ham and once in Auburn. I believe he died shortly after the Auburn show. He was freakin' hilarious!
ReplyDeleteno he was in b'ham one night with Chris Porter (of last comic standing, not coked-up bball player).
ReplyDeleteI do love Lewis Black though
never heard Chizzle say anything like that JG. ????
ReplyDeleteChris Porter was pretty dang funny too! I would like to see him again!
ReplyDeleteHedberg is awesome. Attell was on fire when I saw the three of them in Atl several years back
ReplyDeleteJay, everything I have heard Chizik say about recruiting was that they were going to emphasize the SE region, especially Alabama.
ReplyDeleteEvidently the USFL is coming back. Aren't some things better left to die?
ReplyDeleteI've heard the same thing depressed.
ReplyDeleteI don't like turtlenecks.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad big love is over. If I was to compare it to BBQ, I would say it is Sonny's.
ReplyDeleteWhat is sexy about a peach?
ReplyDeleteI though Chiz said they were going to use their current relationships (that would be national) and I thought I read/heard him make a statement about recruiting in Texas. Maybe that was one of the Asst's.
Never heard Chizik say anything about national recruiting. It was my understanding that the out-of-region guys this year were a byproduct of asst. coaches previous contacts.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Michael4AU!!!
ReplyDeletei've known many a Georgia Peach who were sexy Monnie! ;)
ReplyDeleteJay, your co-host had a view of AU football that I think people who don't really follow the program closely would share. This program has been in a downward trend for the last two years. The change was not made just because of the Bama loss(although it certainly helped the decision) as you pointed out.
ReplyDeleteJay G,
ReplyDeleteI recall one occasion where he indicated he would cast a wider net, but prior to that event and after it, he has maintained the "Alabama first" program.
I expect he will cast a net in areas where we haven't been.
The real issue is the energy level, which had been lacking from the top. Josh's comments regarding this were bewildering.
I heard Hedberg's last show in Auburn was a bit of a disaster. Believe it or not, he may have been on too many drugs.
ReplyDeleteI loved him though. He was hilarious.
The Alabama loss was a small part of the equation.
ReplyDeleteGotta go. Peace out, Hot ones!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to hear that this is still a pertinent subject. Not having heard the show (yay firewalls) is this still being rehashed by Alabma or Auburn faithful?
ReplyDeleteohhh "Georgia Peach" Gottcha...
ReplyDeleteBye Prowler :-)
How big was the amount of time being put into the program by the previous staff and the excitement level of the team being put on the field the past 3 or so years?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Happy Birthday Michael4AU. I guess I will wish you happy birthday first before you wish me happy anniversary, since your's came first!
ReplyDeleteI tire of seeing comics who I already know all of their jokes, so I left early, but I remember thinking that MH was really messed up during that Auburn show.
ReplyDeleteI just wrote a long note about Chizik's ISU experience, then thought it's a little too wordy. I love Auburn! War Eagle! nuff said
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Eddie! WDE
ReplyDeletedid anybody see this about the Ball State QB? i copied from a rivals.com story.
ReplyDeleteWhat if they held a pro day and nobody came? Such was nearly the fate of early exiting Ball State quarterback Nate Davis on Friday, when only the Indianapolis Colts showed up to watch him throw to various Cardinal receivers on BSU's home field, and that probably only because it wasn't much of a drive for them.
Thanks Monica!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good interview:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKXZFyTsfhw
That's harsh, Smoothie...
ReplyDeleteCaptain - they should've put that interview out of its' misery.
ReplyDeleteI am an originally a Ga Peach so of course I think we are all HOT
ReplyDeleteWhat do y'all think about having a Hotties Poker Tournament online?
ReplyDeleteHomemade peach ice cream
ReplyDeletePeach cobbler
Fried peach pies from The Varsity.
Then there's them other peaches, too.
Yum.
Poker? Can't do it!
ReplyDeleteYou can't or no Hottie can or both? Help me.
ReplyDeleteDon't make me take all of your money...
ReplyDeleteI don't play poker. I'm too feeble-minded.
ReplyDeleteThe only way today's weather could be any more georgeous is if scantily clad co-eds were wandering around.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever played professional poker, Jay? If not, I don't think you are qualified to comment on your own poker skill level.
ReplyDeleteWhere/when would this poker take place? (I know online.... More specific)
ReplyDeleteReal buy in or fake chips? Lose chips or clothes if you lose a hand?
Oh lawd..
ReplyDeletePlease no clothes....no clothes!
Jet you talking about The Varsity in Atlant. If so I hung out htere in my youth.
ReplyDeleteFaker have you played through Facebook?
ReplyDeleteI have not Monica...
ReplyDeleteStrip Poker or Pay to learn?
ReplyDeleteNot real money.
ReplyDeleteThrough Facebook or Myspace. They both take you to Zynga and you can set up private tables.
Texas Hold 'Em
We'll have to come up with other stellar prizes like the HABOTN tshirt.
When? I don't know yet. Miller didn't you say Tuesday nights were a good night?
And what would it matter if it were strip poker ONLINE? You can all show up and play naked if that will make you feel better. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey let you set up tables and play for monopoly money?
ReplyDeleteYea strip poker is out that wouldn't be any fun
ReplyDeleteI'll offer up my Bill Curry autographed football if anyone wants it...
ReplyDeleteCurrently it is in the back yard with the dog
Typically I am out of town on Tuesday and/or Wednesday nights this time of year (March through December).
ReplyDeleteI am usually in remote parts of the world (Alabama) with no interwebs access.
Thursday nights generally would work best.. Possibly Monday nights.
No offense...
ReplyDeleteBut there are too many dudes here to play strip poker..
;-)
Way to step up, Faker.
ReplyDeleteMonday nights might be good.
Bill Curry wasn't he one of Bama's greatest coaches? Pct wise
ReplyDeleteanyone going to the game tues?
ReplyDeleteFaker,
ReplyDeleteSomeone gave me a Curry autographed picture one time.... I think I used it on a dart board.
No, that was the bear bryant autograph pic I hung on the dart board.... Not sure what happened to the Curry one.
Bill Curry was a joke....
ReplyDeleteHe just proves that just about anybody can have a winning record at Alabama.
Faker do you have a framed Bear anything near your computer?
ReplyDeleteFaker, like my uncle Rick used to say (before he went to jail), there are never too many dudes to play strip poker.
ReplyDeleteI bet Uncle Rick is very popular.
ReplyDeleteI am only play strip poker wth wifey and her friends/sorority sisters.
ReplyDeleteSome serious brawling there with Jay and that caller! JAY WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT AUBURN. YOU DIDN'T GO TO SCHOOL THERE.
ReplyDeleteFor this, we thank you, Miller.
ReplyDeleteLOL Monica...
ReplyDeleteIn my man cave..
I have a framed Bear Bryant SI edition as he was going for the record.
I also have a framed Saban autograph above my computer....Along with a framed Stallings pic....
and that is just scratching the surface.
I usually play strip poker against my dog, because I automatically win since he is already naked. I love winning.
ReplyDeleteYou should take your picture with all of those things gathered around you and use it as your avatar.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you don't dress your dog up in silly petwear, Michael.
ReplyDeleteSo, I just went back and read my RoF induction ceremony post, and realized that I'm supposed to be hosting some sort of annual Hottie House Party. Probably have missed the best part of the year to do that (when it's 80 degrees here, and there's snow on the ground everywhere else), but I'll see what I can do. Maybe a virtual tour of my abode why you all sit in your own respective places drinking cocktails. Of course, my doors are usually open to most of you. Z4Z is only welcome to the virtual tour until we find out his story.
ReplyDeleteLOL..
ReplyDeleteI also have an Antonio Langham autograph from about two hours before he signed with the agent that led to our first probation...
If I'd only kicked him in the knees.
If anyone can win at bama why not keep Shula? one of your own
ReplyDelete
