Reaction from Tuscaloosa
That's a wrap from Coleman Coliseum, where your Auburn Tigers beat the home-standing Alabama Crimson Tide, 77-73.
COACH JEFF LEBO
On the drama: ``We had a lot riding on this game. The tradition there, in terms of SEC winning seasons, isn't there. Coming from behind, for (the players), that was the most exciting way to do it. I've never seen them so happy after a game."
On the win: "I liked our toughness. We showed some toughness. We've shown some grit. Against an Alabama team that has been playing very very well. We had to overcome a lot. They made some big shots. We kept making play after play after play."
On possible reasons for first-half problems: "It's been an emotional 40 days. Sometimes that takes a little bit out of you when you have so much riding on each game."
COACH PHILIP PEARSON
On the final Auburn possession ... when Alabama let the clock run: ``They had been making their foul shots. They had some pretty good FT shooters on the floor. I thought we could get a stop and catch them in a little bit of a scramble situation. It didn't work out, obviously."

1st post of my 43rd year!
It's very exciting. HB.
Thanks for the coverage and generating the interest in our male and female basketball teams, Jay G. (and for always rockin those hottie ties!)
gnight
JGT, we are getting crunk on Saturday. Count on it.
war eagle! woohoo!
WAR EAGLE!!!
War Eagle Hotties.
Happy Birthday to Monica. I'm the first to post that.
I hate it when I can't sleep.
Oh, maybe JGT's "HB" counts as first.
WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
AWESOME WIN and Happy Birthday, Mon.
JGT- Thanks for the wonderful live blog which I enjoyed a few hours after the fact.
Yes, it's still raining.
Happy Birthday to Omnica.
Still sweet to beat UAT.
It's your b-day, Monica? Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you have a great day! Enjoy your day to be Queen! Although, I'm sure Greg treats you like one every day! :-)
What a great win for the men last night. Of course, as usual, I fell asleep at halftime and missed the best part.
Good morning, Hotties and Happy Hump Day!
Monica, I would never sell our email conversations!
Morning hotties, I was so keyed up from the game I barely got any sleep, it's always a good day to beat Bama and yesterday was no exception.

I HATE houndstooth!!!
8:13 PM
Reasons why I hate houndstooth:
1. The man has been dead for 26 years and they've had how many coaches since he retired???
2. A lot of the people that wear it weren't even born or even a gleam in their parents' eyes when the man died!!!
Mornin', SeanZ. I agree and it's always great to be an Auburn Tiger!
WAR EAGLE! Happy Birthday Mon..what a blast that game was..just so sweet..now LSU at home right? when is that game exactly...Nice work last night Jay...
Luv, I've got this whole accidentally-spilling-of-ketchup routine that goes great with anything houndstooth.
A good morning to you all.
Still feeling all warm & fuzzy from last night. Seeing those goobers in the stands screaming when they were up makes the win all the sweeter.
Here's to a great birthday for Monica!
SeanZ, I'd go for the spilling-of-anything on houndstooth!
Looks like we've secured the #2W seed in the SEC tourney and a first round bye.
Where is the men's SEC tournament being held this year? I hate that the Women's is all the way up in Little Rock. If it had been closer, I'd be there!
Thanks for the great coverage, JGT.
Happy Birthday, Mon!
Happy hump-day to the rest of you!
War Eagle!
Does everyone prefer Yahoo or ESPN for the HABOTN bracket challenge?
what's the HABOTN bracket challenge?
luv,
I'm setting up a NCAA Tourny bracket challenege group for the HABOTN....
I have gotten positive feedback on the idea, suggesting people wanna do it. However, I haven't gotten any feedback on whether or not to make is a cash buy in/winner take all kind of thing.
Happy Birthday, Monica!
Good Morning, JGT and Hotties
What a way to start the day — I saw the score this morning and, surprise, surprise, many comments here. Well, I am singing and dancing throughout the day.
I also need to wake up a bit more. I posted this on the game's thread. Caffeine, I need caffeine.
D Miller, I'm in.
Thanks very much for the happy birthday wishes, Hotties! Very nice of all of you. The win last night was such a great gift!
Monica, happy 30th B-day, I know it says you're 43, but I wouldn't guess a day over 30.
Happy Birthday Monica.
Wishing you many more.
Monica, I wished you a Happy Birthday on the previous thread at 11:01 CT, making it your birthday on the Eastern coast, but in case you missed it, Happy Birthday Girlfriend!
I was too hyped after my workout and the ballgame to sleep, so I had a late night followed by an early morning. This will be a very long day.
Quote of the day comes from one of Mon's Brewton folk.
"I love him like cooked food!"
The quote is in reference to a local pharmicist regarding his 'local stimulus'.
morning hotties! it has been most pleasant to come to work this morning following a beating of the crimson tide. it just makes my heart go all a-flutter. that, or the pot of coffee i've already drank.
happy b-day again monica!
Let me just state for the record two immutable facts:
1. I am head over heels in love with beating UAT.
2. I hate UAT.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
1. Happy Birthday, Monica...hope it is a wonderful day for you!
2. Haven't been this excited about a men's BB team win since...well its been a long time.
The team played with such heart and you could see that in their minds their couldn't lose. For a team that lacks size and some athleticism, there is no lack of determination. Congrats to the men for turning their season around. WDE!
Happy Birthday Monica!
Am I reading this correctly? Did the Auburn Men win 20 freaking games this season?
Thank you to Sean my new favorite person ever. :-)
Thanks Aubie and Miller where did you see that Brewton folk quote?? That's funny.
D. Miller,
I'd be in for a bracket challenge. I've always used ESPN in the past, but I'm open for yahoo as well.
I would rather it be just for competition and bragging rights than for money.
Bracketology HABOTN style
Dos cosas:
Happy B'day Monica!
D. Miller - yahoo works better for me (that whole accessing from the office deal)
Oh wait - one more thing! I started watching my first men's game last night, and decided it had to be my fault for us being down 10 at half, so I promptly changed channels. Glad I could do my part for the team. War Eagle Baby!!!
good win last night...am i right to say that we have swept the turds in bball two out of three seasons now? thought i heard that.
Monica, I have to do it...why is SeanZ your new favorite person?
Oh wait...I scrolled up and saw why. Whatta guy.
Coaching really hurt the Tide last night. Why didn't they keep giving it to Green on the block? If they had continued that, I think the outcome would have been different. Thankfully though, we're 2nd in the west with a first round bye in the tourney.
I was pumped up last night like it was a football game!
War Eagle
So if we beat LSU and win a game in the tourney, will ESPN include us in the "bubble" discussion?
I hate that teams like Notre Dame and Georgetown, both suck by the way, are still being talked about and Auburn isn't even worth mentioning.
Auburn always seems to get the shaft and I can't figure out why.
It's because we aren't a media darling, but I think I like it better that way because it's more fun when we beat the aforementioned darlings.
Happy Birthday Monnie!!!!
D. Miller - Count me in for Challenge. ESPN or Yahoo, no difference as long as it's not the lame "weighted" scoring system.
I've ran a money challenge before = nightmare. If you can't stand in front of someone and threaten/bludgeon/etc then you will never get all the $, even among friends. I recommend bragging rights be the stake.
Happy Birthday, Monica!
AU basketball beats the turds!
Troy baseball beats the turds!
Great coverage of the game, JGT!
Happy Birthday Monica!!!
Good mornin errbody!
What channel did you all watch the game on? I thought Jay said it was on ESPN, but in Atlanta- I had Michigan State and someone, and another sorry game. So, I thought maybe it would be on local, but it was an ACC game. Confused
I too am in Atlanta and the game came on right after the Michigan State game, on ESPN.
Hey Hotties,
Did you realize we have beaten bammer 5 of the last 6 times in bball?
oops,
and 6 of the last 7 in Football?
now that dominating!
the Michigan St game ran til after 8..I don't think the AU game came on til around 8:15...ESPN
WAR EAGLE AUn!!..I have been relishing in that fact this morning..rough year in football but all in all it has been nice..
that's good good statistics there AuN.
One Final Stat also....
Auburn has sweep bammer 2 of the last 3 years in bball...
Freaking amazing with what Coach Lebo has worked with.....
Mon....to the Queen! Happy, Happy, Birthday to you!
Still feeling good about the game last night! I AM going to the game Sat and am truly excited about basketball!
I think all this emotion is left over from that stinkin football season....now I can use it!
Just to put this into perspective, the 2003 Sweet 16 team went 8-8 in conference. We have a chance to lock up a 10-6 season this year. That's HUGE.
Longshore pointed out this morning that this is only the 6th Auburn team to win 20 or more games. Anyone care to verify that?
Again, hell of a game last night. Made me want to go set my bammer neighbor's truck on fire.
Baseball team takes on Davidson again today.
Last day of lows in the 50s, highs in the low 70s in south Florida. 80+ 7 day forcast has 80+ every day starting tomorrow..mids 70s today.Hooray for spring.
J-Z, the ESPN talking heads last night said 9th. Either way, perspective.
and that's why I live in the south!!
I stand corrected, today's quote of the day comes from CNN anchorwoman Zain Verjee reporting on a story about Northwest Airlines now serving peanuts on flights.
Verjee mentioned the word "penis" 3 times instead of "peanuts."
"Northwest began serving penis this month as its merger partner Atlanta-based Delta airlines has done for years," Verjee said.
"Georgia is the top penis producing state in the country."
The caption at the bottom of the screen read, "Nuts on Northwest flights."
down to work...Hotties bask in the sun today and the wonderful win!
War Eagle!
Morning Hot Ones! Congrats to the BBall team on a great comeback!
I've been a bit AWOL lately so I dont know if this was mentioned but did any see that Bo Jackson sent each of the women on the bball team roses? Bo's daughter is also a freshman at AU and lives on the same floor as Chantel Hilliard. The two are apparently good friends.
Women's BBall
I think 9 twenty win seasons, but still that's a pretty sad number. Hopefully this is a start of a big turn around, but the SEC is down this year so who knows.
Still, I'll take a 20+ win season even if the SEC is down.
Thanks very much Mobile, hehateme, AUAnt and WEG!
WAR EAGLE!
J-Z, what's stopped ya?
"Kick the tires and light the fires big daddy!"
HATE BAMA. IT JUST FEELS GOOD.
"Kick the tires and light the fires big daddy!" ???
Oh I'm SOOO using that one!
That's Independence Day, not Top Gun, right?
Definitely from Indepedence Day.

Luv - I think we could auction our email conversations off to the highest bidder.
Monica, NEVER!
Luv, this is OT but how did you like the Vault Zero?
A haiku ...
Frankie has onions
Wow, Tez made two huge free throws
I hate UAT.
Vot's Double Double
Bama's senior night ruined
Sean is now happy.
Independence Day....yup. I've always loved that one.
SeanZ, umm (sheepish look)....haven't gotten it yet. I didn't buy any soda when I went grocery shopping because I refuse to pay $4+ for a 12-pack. But, we are dangerously low, so I'm going to have to stop on my way home and get some! I will be sure to let you know, don't worry.
Luv, no worries, never pay $4 for a 12 pack, someone always has them on sale.
Noone has lately. We had a closet-full the last time we found them 5 for $12!
A limerick ...
There once was a Tiger named Vot
Who gave as much as he got.
With the help of his friend Frankie,
They gave UAT a spankie
And enter postseason quite hot.
Jay G Tate at the beginning of SEC play says (not in these exact words)...
The Auburn men have won 7 in a row, they won't win seven more games this yr.
In Mr. Jay G. Tate's defense, I don't think anyone saw this coming. I know I didn't. BTW, does anyone know what the "G" stands for? My bet is either Gandalf or Gershwin.
My poem for the day:
I hate Bama so much,
I want to dig up Bear Bryant
and give him as STD.
Jet, I'm eagerly awaiting a sonnet.
FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF HABOTN COUNTY ...
Whereas defendant Tate was not advised of his constitutional rights, as provided in Miranda v. Arizona, his statements are deemed inadmissable. Absent any other evidence, the charges are hereby dismissed.
Today it's your birthday..Happy Happy Birthday!!! Mon. I love text singing.
j-z, that's a bit disturbing...
But, I agree with you in that noone saw this coming with the Men's BB team.
Luv - I don't think we SHOULD, I just think we COULD! hee hee
I love Independence Day and I didn't recognize that line at all! You fellas have the best (most convenient) memories!
Don't know what to think about this basketball success. Has the Lebo lynching officially been cancelled, or just postponed?
Steve ... As we have gone 7-1 since I jumped off his bandwagon, I say "FIRE FESTER!!!"
I hope fans keep callin' these commitee guys and plants that AU seed in their head. Hopefully someone will pay attention and do the right thing, especially if we do well in the SEC ship.
as=an
Damn...ruined the whole mood of the poem.
Didn't even notice j-z until you said something. I for one thought it was a beautiful poem.
No, J-Z, I think the necrophiliac transmission of an STD ruined the mood much more than the botching of an article.
As for the G in Jay G. Tate, my guess is Gustav.
Jet, agreed!
Luv! Thanks so much for the eCard. You're just the sweetest.
Gotta go with, Jet on that one. Gross.
SeanZ, I'm thinking about breaking out a new rap to salute our victory.
Maybe.
Off topic question:
I'm looking at subscribing to rivals or scout, I'm addicted I know. Anybody have opinions/prefer one or the other?
I've heard rivals is owned by a UATer, but I like the user interface.
Thanks to the hottie who sent me the article about Ronnie Cottrell's stimulus package. That's where the "I tell you, I love him like cooked food," line that Miller mentioned is located.
Brewton Pharmacist
Monica, I don't know about the sweetest. I'm sure people that know me would have a few things to tell you... My coworkers say I have a hard shell with a mushy inside. They also call me "Sunshine" sometimes.
Hard shell, mushy interior ...
Luv is a Dairy Queen Dip Cone!
One of life's simplest pleasures!
When the Jet Family pulls into a DQ, I launch into the old cheer ...
"Dip Cone! Get it! Get it!"
Well, I think you're very kind, Sunshine. ;-)
and now I wish i had a dip cone
Thanks, Monica. :-)
Jet, i'm digging your poem.
Mon, my wife thinks i'm nuts b/c i have about 5-6 movies that i quote all the time. it's part of my daily vocabulary.
Doggone it...now I have to have a chicken finger snack and a large dip cone for lunch. Man...(thanks for the excuse. I love being able to blame stuff on the internet.)
There is some talk that we have a new commit for the 2009 class. It seems that our latest Juco visitor, WR Jay Wisner has accepted AU's invitation to walk-on.
6-foot-2, 195lbs, 4.45 40-yard dash and has a 40-inch vertical leap. In 2008 he had 40 catches for 786 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 19.6 yards per reception.
I havent seen any official word other than a Scout's report that has since been removed. If this is true and his stats are accurate, he could make an immediate impact.
Now if someone would just find something suggestive to say about smoking and diet coke, I'd have all my bases covered guilt free.
Wow...nobody kills a thread quicker than me, apparently.
I guess I'll have to take this thing to 400 solo.
AUBigCat, that would be great if he came on!
I'm just wondering, where was the recruiting for this guy? 40 inch vertical? He could almost jump right over Saban standing up straight!
j-z and will are kindred spirits in thread killing
last time I said I was taking a thread to 400 solo, it went there without me. I like to think my statement motivated the hotties because no one wanted to see me post that much drivel.
scottie b, do you have an chapstick? 'Cause my lips hurt real bad.
Luv...now I'm frightened.
Frankenbummer, you had a good run that day. You made it to about 25 all by your lonesome.
j-z, I was quoting a line from a movie. GOSH!
Captain Boxhead! I missed your wit yesterday!
...and I got acompliment from mon (though it was accompanied by a dig), which is rare for me.
Sorry bout that, Luv. Work has been too busy for me and my wit to do much else. More of the same today.
i liked jgt's "march sadness" turn of a phrase in the ma today. good stuff.
Luv - I don't buy that JZ (the guy who uses STD's in his limericks) is "frightened" by anything you do.
;-)
I could sure go for a cig and a diet coke right about now.
Cig and Diet Coke...good times. I prefer a Cherry Coke and a Cigar myself.
cig = nasty
Nasty yes...never a big fan of them myself, but I know many who are.
Monica, if j-z's mind hadn't gone to the gutter, he wouldn't be frightened. But, yeah, I'm sure not too much frightens him.
I'm a reformed smoker...quit 15 years ago or so, but I still crave them. I gave up soft drinks and Diet Coke in particular for Lent, so I'm just looking for an excuse.
Thank You Mon!
Now if someone will just tell me robbing a bank is a good idea...
I used to smoke when we were "out". It is a very nasty habit, but I gotta tell ya every now and then I'd like to have just one. Sue me.
JZ is so gutter mind, but I dig that about him.
J-Z has 99 problems but...
Hah, thanks JAY-z
Lots of Z's running around. Surely both of your last names do not start with Z.
You're right, my last name doesn't not start with a Z...if you pronouncing my handle it would go something like "Seanzie." It is my sister's nick for me.
I will now refer to you as Seanzie.
Ditto.
awww Seanzie that is precious
What does your dirty sister call you, Monica?
LOL my dirty sister - my sisters call me Monica when they're not calling me more "colorful" names...ahem...
I will now refer to SeanZ as Seanzie and Diana will always be referred to as your dirty sister.
My parents called me "Oops."
JGT....nice game summary.
I read articles from 4 different rags and your's is the only one that actually described the play/changes that were occuring on the court. The other reporters spouted the typical "intensity" type cliches.
Oh and.....Happy Birthday Monica!
May the road rise to meet you with the wind at your back and may your day especially blessed.
Your clever resourcefullness to "keep it light" on the HABOTN is appreciated by all.
Hoopie quoting the Irish blessing, a favorite of Mrs. Jet, who collects anything and everything with that upon it.
With St. Patty's coming up, I hereby decree you to be known as "O'Hoopie."
It takes hustle, courage and guile to win close games on the road. Ultimately, here's where we won it.
1. Rasheem's blow-by Gee with two minutes and change to go to put us up by 4, and countering Torrance's 3-point play.
2. Tez turning into the FT machine.
3. Vot's 18th rebound and tip-in.
4. Pearson's curious decision to let Auburn play the clock down from 45 seconds to l1.
5. Frankie's "Onions!" moment to put it away.
Jet, would you explain #5, please?
Thank you very much, O'Hoopie. The Irish blessing is particularly appreciated in my Irish Catholic family.
Jet - I feel very sure you were always the apple of Mr. and Mrs. Jet Sr's eye.
"Onions" is a term used by TV basketball announcer Bill Raftery -- my personal fave -- to describe a particularly courageous or critical play made in the game.
It is a not so sly anatomical reference.
Monica ...
As I am nearly a decade younger than my nearest sibling, I was the most terrible accident prior to Chernobyl.
Happy Birthday (cha cha cha) to you.... Happy Birthday Monica. My kids always put the cha cha cha in there.
tiger, my niece and nephew do that too!
Monica, you have mail.
Kids are funny that way. It is amazing how things travel around from kid to kid. The greatest mystery is "Wall Ball". Played at every baseball park in the US with no written rules and played the same way from here to there.
Happy birthday Mon! Sorry it's late. I turned 30 last week...
I recall running into two variations of wall ball: one included just being out of the game if you didn't get to the wall in time, but some people played where you had to put both hands on the wall and get pegged if you were knocked out.
i hate it when i actually have to work. bummer.
Luv, not sure what movie that's from. but if you really need some chapstick, i have some cherry here on my desk. ;)
Scottie, that's from Napoleon Dynamite. RE: Wall Ball, Michael, I've played both versions. I prefer the get pegged version, everyone is always jumpy.
Tony Franklin = Uncle Rico
my wife and i may be the only two people who still haven't seen N.Dynamite. sorry.
Tony "Uncle Rico" Franklin on Chris Todd:
Did you know he used to chuck a pigskin a quarter mile?
How much you wanna make a bet Chris Todd can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... If Coach woulda put him in fourth quarter, we would've beat Alabama. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.
Wow, I guess that was a thread killer.
Thanks very much, Cowboy!
Thank you, Cory, you baby boy you!
Happy Birhtday Monica!!!
I totally don't get the onion reference. Please explain and if you make fun of me for not knowing don't be too rough on me please!
:-)
Thank you, Brian shugah!
Onions=Stones=Balls
Hey peeps.
I'm getting things in order for my big trip to Little Rock, which begins tomorrow morning. I'll be traveling with my friends from the O-A News. It's a beat hack caravan.
I'll be back around 3 for some fresh stuff.
3 o'clock today, I mean.
Thank you Seanzie.
Jay G - That's one caravan, trail of beers, on which I'd love to eavesdrop!
I'm just going to tell you it's a LONNNGGG ride to Little Rock.
Omnica...
Any truth to the rumor that you will be having a fiesta in Panama City this weekend to celebrate the anniversary of your birth?
It's true, Jet. Club La Vela - Saturday night. Invitation only.
Club La Vela...WOOT!
At Club LaVela? At least that's what my invite said.
Bring Your Own Lower Tab, I presume?
Damn...not quick enough on the draw...must bave been distracted
Club La Vela - Saturday night. Invitation only.
Now, that's a party on which I love to eavesdrop!
Luv, you're coming, everybody let's wang chung tonight!
Seanzie, do have any idea why 12-packs are so much right now? When I went to Wal-mart on Friday, Pepsi products were $4.39 and Coca-cola products were $4.50. I stopped at Walgreen's on my way home today and their Pepsi products were 3/$11 (not really a sale, imo) and Coca-cola proucts were $4.89!
Seanzie, I didn't get an invitation. This party must be for FB friends.
Luv ...
I didn't get one, either, and I am one of her FB friends!
Shows where I stand.
Luv, the bottler that services the B'ham is not one I have a connection with, so I have no idea why they're that high. The thing with promotions are, they're constantly changing at each store, you just have to know where the sale is. I could tell you if you were in the Gump or elsewhere.
Jet, then how did you hear about it?
I wasn't invited either, I'm just showing up.
Damn. I either need to move or you need to get connected with the Bham bottling company so you can hook a sista up!
Seanzie, I'm sure Monica will have big, muscle-bound handsome bouncers that will throw you out on your arse if you can't produce an invitation!
HA yes! BYOLT
I could smell a party that I hadn't been invited to. It's a skill I developed as a teen-ager. As GaTiger shared with you guys, I was excluded from most events that would be considered fun.
The events I was invited to, it was to make sport of me.
Club La Vela is not only the largest nightclub in the USA, it is also one of the trendiest and most respected nightclubs in the world.
I've never even heard of it. Well, then again, I've never been to PCB either.
That's funny that Club La Vela and Most Respected would show up in the same sentence.
All your invitations are in the mail.
And I'll respect you in the morning.
I feel used just thinking about going to club la vela.
Monica, are you sure about that? You have no idea what some of these guys are capable of! LOL
There's no telling what Captain Boxhead might do after a few cocktails!
I haven't been to La Vela since 1985 and have no desire to ever go back. Yuck! It's a big ole cheese factory.
However, I do love the idea of muscle bound bounces minus the La Vela. :-D
1985 huh? Hello McFly.
