Hey everyone. It's another warm, overcast day in lower Alabama. I'm good with that. I wonder what it's like in Tampa?LSU has just defeated Kentucky in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals. That rush of wind you hear are the UK fans exiting the St. Pete Times Forum for the last time this year. If you thought the stands were desolate before, just wait.
AUBURN HOOPS: The Tigers (21-10) play Florida tonight at approximately 8:30 CDT. Auburn is in dire need of at least a modest run here to enhance its resume. I don't think the team has yet to accomplish enough to earn an NCAA bid.
I'll be here as often as I can during the game. We'll start a new thread.
(FYI: The tournament is being broadcast on Dish Network in HD on channel 443.)
AUBURN BASEBALL: The Tigers (11-4) open SEC play this weekend at Tennessee. We're hoping that Scottie B., a Knoxville resident, will be on hand to provide the real story from the Volunteer State.
Auburn enters the series with the second-most home runs in the nation with 33. Two of the Tigers, sophomore outfielder Trent Mummey (aka "Mums") and junior infielder Joseph Sanders, rank among the nation’s top home run hitters. Mums has eight; Sanders has seven.
Tonight's game starts at 6 p.m.

how is everyone...1
ReplyDeleteOh snap.
ReplyDeleteholy cow...there is a first time for everything...now come on gentleman...Lets eat some gator tail tonight
ReplyDeleteWow. Very nice work, atltiger.
ReplyDeleteI suck again
ReplyDeleteGator on a stick!
ReplyDeleteChomp on this....
ReplyDeleteIt's time to fire Billy Gillispie.
ReplyDeleteHow long has Billy G been at the UK?
ReplyDeleteGive me UK Basketball Coach on a Stick ...
ReplyDeleteThis is year poo ... year two.
ReplyDeleteyeah, my peeps up there in the land of Blue aren't happy. at all.
ReplyDeletethe weather is really ugly right now. we're expecting light rain and first pitch temps in the 40's. i don't have access to the HABOTN on my phone but i'll try to recap what i see assuming there is a game tonite.
JayG. The game tonight might not start on time. Maybe it'll start late enough to live blog it.
ReplyDeleteThe HABOTN will buy you an iPhone soon, Scottie.
ReplyDeleteSWEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be a word put in the HABOTN dictionary for when you don't realize a new thread is up until 45 minutes later.
ReplyDeletemr b. in teen., would twittering work in that situation?
ReplyDeleteis "dumb" sufficient
ReplyDeletescott from T, BRILLIANT! i can do Twitter! i guess you'd actually have to sign up to follow me or something. not sure how that works.
ReplyDeletei just sent a test twitter. only got 3 followers. we'll see how that works out.
I think I just subscribed, Scottie.
ReplyDeleteHarrison - Sure, from now on if you call someone "dumb," it means they didn't know there was a new blog post. Mark it.
ReplyDeleteI jumped on the bandwagon Scottie. No Pressure... I just know everyone would hate to see Scottie B on a stick.
ReplyDeleteJG, i'm sending out another twitter test. let me know if you get it.
ReplyDeletethose of us who are twitterless will need baseball updates from you twitterers
ReplyDeletethanks for the support j-z.
ReplyDeleteTwitter? I barely know her! I don't know what that means.
ReplyDeleteSend out another test Scotty.
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to hate twitter as much as facebook.
ReplyDeletej-z, did you adjust my status to allow updates?
ReplyDeleteFacebook hates Twitter? Oooooo, online addictive application controversy! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to set phasers to stun, otherwise the update may not come through.
ReplyDeleteSo is this strictly a nerdy engineering thing, or are any of you aware of people celebrating "Pi Day"? I am tellin ya, there are some people around here who are pretty excited about it.
ReplyDeleteSCottie, what is your Twitter ID?
ReplyDeleteHarrison, the anti-technology stuff is getting tiresome. We get it. You don't like facebook and twitter. Saying it 5,000 times doesn't make it more true.
Peeps who don't have Twitter, I can post Scottie's information here. No problem.
Harrison, i only Twitter because i care.
ReplyDeleteactually, i've never really used it myself. i only had it set up to get JG's updates. i'm trying to take a crash course. i can log in from my phone and update no problem. just hoping it comes through.
my username is : brannsm
ReplyDeletename is : Scottie B from TN
Yowza! Harrison got dat junk called out by Jay G.
ReplyDeleteSure it does Jay G. It's like pressing the elevator button a hundred times. It makes it get there faster
ReplyDeleteyeah well he called your post annoying the other day Michael. Don't think I didn't see it, cause i did.
ReplyDeleteYes, Michael, you got spanked two days ago with that

Yeah, so?! I have been called out by Jay G numerous times, but that is because I am awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me: now that it's had some time to marinate in your brains, what do you guys think about the BC coaching situation? asfjklasd jkl;asl;jkasdfg jkl;jkl jddfl; lkbfgjklbfg
Twitter?
ReplyDeleteewwww
I think I am going to start a gibberish Twitter feed. Who would join it? Jay G, you in?
ReplyDeleteI've gotcha now, Scottie.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to work until 7 or so ... there will be no updates to the HABOTN until then.
i think BC's new coach should send a twitter to his facebook friends about his new sweet gig.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that this tournament is the final thing that Raycom will be doing with the SEC. It hurts my eyes to watch the broadcast the quality is so bad.
ReplyDeleteAs Puppet Hour approaches Harrison and Michael have both been burned by JayG. Will this be the best puppet hour ever??
ReplyDeleteHey there Hotties....
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say....
Coach Lebo has been tanning all day and is ready for the Tigers to get him off the bubble
War Eagle
Go to Twitter and find me: GibberishFeed
ReplyDeleteOh, about Puppet Hour... yeah, I am leaving at 4. So, you know, let's pretend this has been Puppet Hour.
ReplyDeleteok, gotta run. it's cool to have followers! ha!
ReplyDeletei'll do my best on the updates. my phone should have enough juice to get a few in.
i'm off to Hooters first! peace out.
Will you be doing updates from Hooters? That should be interesting.
ReplyDelete"A woman with a tight shirt just walked up and started to hit on me. Then she took my order. She is totally into me."
ReplyDelete-Scottie B's next Twitter entry
I have never met a Hooter's waitress or stripper that didn't want me.
ReplyDelete"My new lady interest seems a little flirtatious with the guys 2 tables away from me. I am beginning 2 doubt our connection."
ReplyDelete-Scottie B on Twitter
GibberishFeed not JibberishFeed.
ReplyDeleteI too want to use the J, but google and wikipedia tell me otherwise.
Gibberish with a G. OK. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Wait til I show mom... I knew I could be popular one day!
ReplyDelete"These wings don't taste as good since they are soaked in my tears. Why wouldn't she just give me her phone number? How did something so good go so wrong so fast?"
ReplyDelete- Scottie B on Twitter
Poor Scottie, having his dirty laundry scatted across the HABOTN.
ReplyDeleteFamily blog, Michael.
ReplyDeleteI will resist channeling my Walter Sobchek in the diner speech and accept your deletion, Jay G. I thought that was a pretty good one though!
ReplyDeletescatted?? gross
ReplyDeletewho's mom wouldn't be proud of them once she found out he had over 12 internet "friends"
ReplyDeleteWhen you put "friends" in quotation marks, you do that as a sign of respect, right Harrison?
ReplyDeleteA tip of the fedora, as Charles Goldberg would say. His dad was a regionally renown haberdasher and, surely, passed along his love of chapeaus.
ReplyDeleteIf someone would articulate the benefits to me, I would like to consider joining this 'twitter' thing that all the hip kids are doing.
ReplyDeleteAre you talkin gibberish now too, Jay G?
ReplyDeleteDenny: by joining my Twitter feed, you can receive really interesting daily updates straight into your cell phone! Or just email, or something. Either way, join now!
ReplyDeleteyes Michael friends in quotations are the highest level of companionship
ReplyDeleteWhen I googled "a tip of the fedora" to find out what it means, the first thing that comes up is an article by Goldberg. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteAlright, I'm out. You guys made me late. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteMichael, you have convinced me. I do I join and be awesome like you and Jay G?
ReplyDeleteDenny, Twitter is a good way to keep up with HABOTN/Auburn things on the go. It's kinda like text messaging, but it's free and doesn't count against your text-message limit.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be at a concert tonight, anyone want to twitter the basketball game updates? No? Yes!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would of course mean I would have to use my twitter account for the first time.
scottie b, thanks is advance for your twitter updates....
ReplyDeletestill considering a stop in Tampaland for the Auburn game tonight. If I do, I'll live blog it.I'm going to be driving all night as it is, so I'm undecided.
i think i have everything configured correctly for the twittering-i've been folowing the wrong scotties for some time now. when you get a chance, send out another test tweet (doesn't that sound funny!).
ReplyDeleteBammer down 2 linebackers, how many that leave them?
ReplyDeletei only own one chapeau. it's a flat brimmed black cowboy hat a la clint eastwood. it doesn't get much use.
ReplyDeleteonly leaves then with 16, i think.
ReplyDeletetubbs at uk inherited some talent, if memory serves, but didn't do much with it--and didn't replace it with much (imo). i'm not a gillespie fan, but is 2 years enough?
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteFrom last thread, did you see the interview. Why Jim Cramer goes on The Daily Show after all of the trash Jon Stewart's talked about him, I don't know. Stewart was as well prepared to destroy him as I've ever seen anyone be, ever. I watched the whole interview online yesterday. It was amazing, and really brought to light a lot of things about the financial media that I had no idea about. I will never watch CNBC again. EVER.
Jon Stewart should be world ruler. Seriously.

betting public loading up on Florida...line has moved a point over the last hour..we're a 3 point dog now
ReplyDeleteLove some SEC Tournament. I only wish Joe Dean Sr was here to play some "string music" from Tampa. One of the classic basketball announcers.

Auburn game will be on Dish Network channel 474. Looks like it'll be SD. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteNo trip to Tampa for you, Jay G?
ReplyDeleteThey wouldn't let Jay G go to Tampa because he would spend all their funds clubbin' in Ybor City
ReplyDeleteJay -- does the Advertiser just pick up the AP story covering the Auburn game?? How does that work?
ReplyDeleteThat's what they did for the LSU game.
ReplyDeleteNo trip for me. I was told that the Advertiser doesn't have enough coin to fund that trip.
ReplyDeleteI am the only full-time Auburn writer not at the tournament. Tim Gayle is the only full-time Alabama writer not at the tournament.
We'll run an AP story in the newspaper tomorrow.
I used to (at least partially) fund some trips myself, but those days are over. My furlough week already "displaced" a chunk of money from the Tate bank account.
ReplyDeleteThat's lame...biggest Auburn basketball game in years, and they can't afford to send a reporter.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they'll run the AP story when we're in the final 4.. =)
If Auburn becomed the ultimate Cinderella and makes the Final 4 and the MA doesn't send Jay G, Every Hottie must send $2 to a pay pal account we set up to send him. I think there's enough of us where we could keep the costs low. I'm very much against paying for the internet, but that would be different. It would be for Jay G!
ReplyDeleteFor those of you (like me) who can't get the game on TV, it's available free on Yahoo Sports.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to really HATAGATA but I'll lucky to last through the first half. What genius schedules games in the middle of the night?
Have you hated Bama today?
