Seanzie said...: Shesaid, first time I've seen your quote, I love it. I'm bout to 'act a fool' eltoro style, I'm so excited for college football.; 5:48 PM
shesaid said...: Seanzie, do it for yourself. I'm just a hapless bystander. Acting foolish comes natural to me and many more on this blog.; 5:50 PM

wartiger said...: thanks for the video Jay...excellent job as always..; 6:59 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: iPhone doesn't support flash. So it goes.; 7:04 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: The question mark blue box of shame.; 7:18 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: oh yeah....

NO DROPS!; 7:18 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: suspenders? who wears suspenders anymore?; 7:27 PM
Anonymous said...: don't lawyers still where them? Oh Larry King!! Mr. Carr doesn't look like LK though for sure!; 7:31 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Larry King is the Ghost of Xmas Past.; 7:32 PM
Anonymous said...: ain't that the truth; 7:32 PM
Miller said...: dang you jet! now I want a hamburger!; 7:41 PM
ehyou said...: How are all of JGT's videos so good?

BTW - Another good video man.; 7:41 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Carr reminds me of a young Malcolm X. Not so angry, but has that preppy, precise look to him.; 7:43 PM
Anonymous said...: he doesn't shake when shooting; 7:43 PM
Anonymous said...: D. Miller - That is funny, still could go for the cookies.; 7:44 PM
Miller said...: Oh... I am baking cookies tonight... no doubt.; 7:45 PM
Miller said...: Or I may just eat the cookie dough; 7:45 PM
Jet said...: DMiller ...

You'll get your chance at Hamburger King after UConn beats UNC for the national championship, and I storm back from 60th place to win the HABOTN bracket contest!; 7:47 PM
Miller said...: That's right... you get the King on my dime if it happens...; 7:52 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Thanks for your support, ehyou.; 7:53 PM
Jet said...: After having an OC that looked like he peddles pine straw on the side of the road, it's perfectly cool with me that we have a nerd as our offensive coordinator.; 7:54 PM
wtc said...: Jet-You win I will go to the King with you. Never been there.

SO with calipari to UK, does Anderson go to Memphis? Does Lebo leave for VCU? We get who?; 7:57 PM
Jet said...: VCU hired Shaka Smart, assistant from Florida ... Lebo no go anywhere.

VCU's new marketing campaign ...

Shaka Can!; 7:59 PM
Miller said...: Anderson signs a new 7 year deal with Mizzou...; 8:03 PM
Miller said...: Rumors swirling that Pitino may go to Arizona.; 8:03 PM
Jet said...: Interesting ... Anderson chooses less money for ... an easier league?

Coaching in a division with Calipari, Donovan, Pearl, and Stallings would be kinda tough. Darrin Horn might not be a weakling either.; 8:05 PM
Jet said...: I love a good chocolate-vanilla yogurt swirl at Chappy's after dinner.; 8:05 PM
wtc said...: Jet-That's the pastrami burger talking. Don't eat the swirl.; 8:11 PM
wtc said...: So we keep Lebo for at least another year. That is OK with me. I'm not on the bandwagon. I think he can coach but being hamstrung by the Athl dept (not allowed to talk with the AAU guy in AL) is tough on him. Can't win w/o being able to recruit with the guy.; 8:12 PM
Miller said...: Wow... SEC teams getting stronger by adding better coaches, Calipari at UK, Grant at $puat, UGA going for top coaches... Donovan, Pearl, Horn all still in the league...
And here is poor lil ol AU "excited" about keeping Lebo.

If I had a puke emoticon, I'd use it.; 8:15 PM
wtc said...: Dmiller-He can coach he just doesn't recruit that well. Even next year we have a small class. Even Baylor had two 7 footers.

Not sure what AU is trying to accomplish with this program.; 8:17 PM
Bfoster18 said...: Didn't dig the quote of the day. But do dig Eltoro Freeman's style. And nobody attacks that bag like the Bull. He's going to make for some nice highlights.; 8:17 PM
wtc said...: He finally has a winning record overall but a losing SEC record. Should the dept be pleased with that. Do they think he has turned it around? DO you think he has turned it around?; 8:18 PM
Miller said...: recruiting is part of coaching...

He complains about not having size... well, whose fault is that?; 8:20 PM
wtc said...: Next year he has Sullivan and Waller and Reed and everyone else will be new on the court. Gotta do a better job of getting kids on the floor. That line up scares no one.; 8:21 PM
wtc said...: Selling is part of recruiting and coaching. You have to get them to want to come here. Maybe he needs to take a class at AU in selling? along with Jacobs.; 8:22 PM
Miller said...: 80-76 overall... (51.3%)
28-51 in conference... (35.4%)

How can anyone look at that, and want to keep Lebo?; 8:24 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 8:24 PM
wtc said...: Calipari goes to Memphis and goes about 130-14 in 4 years. That conference is weak, but he beat some good teams outside if conference. He came to AL and took the best prospect (Cousins) out. HE knows how to recruit.; 8:24 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I need to hear more about the dept banning him from talking to the AAU guy. What's the back story there?; 8:25 PM
Miller said...: I don't think he is willing to do what it takes to sell a program. He doesn't do the media thing, he isn't visible in the community... he hasn't embraced Auburn in the 5 years he's been here. He acts like he could care less about the fans...; 8:26 PM
wtc said...: He got that handcuff thanks to Cliff Ellis. I think was too chummy with the guy and that is what got AU in trouble. Lebo's contract states he can not recruit from that guy (AAU guys run all the players in each state) for 5 years. That is why we only have 1 player (that was recruited) from AL and it is Sullivan. He wanted to come to AU and was only recruited by AU, Miss St, TN, UAB.; 8:27 PM
Miller said...: PF, the AAU guys is supposedly crooked and the reason our previous coach got ran; 8:28 PM
wtc said...: Problem is he came from a program that never needed to sell it's program. That is why he needs some marketing classes to teach himto warm up to the masses.; 8:28 PM
Miller said...: Wifey brings up a good point... We fired Tubs for FAR less than what we're 'excited' to keep Lebo around for.; 8:29 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: AAU guys are all crooked, but you can't stop dealing with them, especially in basketball. Is there a decent HS basketball player in America who's life isn't controlled by AAU? I think the university needs to reevaluate it, make some provisions, and figure out how to talk to this guy within the rules.; 8:31 PM
Miller said...: Other coaches have come from that program and have done what it takes to be a good all around coach (including sell a program and recruit); 8:31 PM
wtc said...: AN example of how AAU guys run basketball players:

Watched 60 miuntes Sunday to see LeBron James. He was on an AAU team that was winning at a pretty good clip when he was in the 9th grade. When th enext rolled around, the AAU coach convinced all the kids to enroll in certain high school. They did and won at 2 national titles in the next 3 years for that school. I'mnot saying that is wrong,just stating they carry a lot of weight in each state.; 8:32 PM
Miller said...: Big problem though, is that after 5 years of no contact with the guy... any and all relationships that he may have had with AU have been severed... AU will never recruit that guys players..; 8:33 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: it's definitely wrong in my book, but that's the way those guys operate.; 8:33 PM
wtc said...: The restrictions shold be coming off this year fordealing with the AL AAU coach.

Dmiller-agreed that others have done better in selling thir program. Just not sure Lebo gets it. Hopefully he has seen the light after the NIT games, but we will have to wait a whole year to find out.; 8:34 PM
wtc said...: I rememeber Sonny Smith getting on talk radio and making appearances everywhere to churn up interest. Ellis was clownish at times, but the students turned out for the games because he showed interest in them.; 8:36 PM
wtc said...: Let's change the subject to football:

Haw many wins, honestly, does AU get this year?; 8:37 PM
digger4au said...: Shoot high boys they are riding Giraffs. 9-4 including win in bowl.; 8:39 PM
Miller said...: If he hasn't seen the light after 5 years, it ain't gonna happen. I haven't seen any indication that he is willing to do those things that it takes to build a program.

And really, what good will it do after all of this time if the restrictions are lifted on recruiting this guys players? If you were him, and a coach ignored you (regardless of the reason) for 5 years... how willing would you be to work with him? Exactly... Nada.; 8:40 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 5-7; 8:41 PM
Jet said...: There are two ways to win at basketball in Auburn.

1. Make the investment. And we have, but it was four years behind schedule. It's hard to get a date when you're driving a brown Citation with a blown engine.

2. Cheat like crazy.

Lebo is on the year to year plan, but to run him after this season would be silly and irresponsible.

Tubs was different. The football momentum was dropping faster than Colonial Bank stock.; 8:42 PM
digger4au said...: I think Lebo earned another year with this years turn-a -round. If he can't improve wheter because of recruiting or what ever, turn him loose; 8:45 PM
Miller said...: You think ROy Williams needs to 'sell' UNC? or does Coach K need to 'sell' Duke? Heck no! But, they do. They make appearances and they are visible in the community, and they engage the students on campus, and they go out and recruit...

They certainly don't have to...UNC and Duke sells itself. But, a good coach still goes out and does those things.

It is even more important at a place like AU for a coach to do all of those things.

The admin is spending $90mil+ on a new arena... and unless something odd happens, they won't have a coach that buys into his own program when they open it.; 8:46 PM
wtc said...: I agree on the 9-4.
PF: 5-7 really?
Jet-It's more like we are driving Pacer or maybe a Gremlin but it could be a Vega. We made the investment on the building but what about getting the ath dept behind him. Show some support.
Remember the 'white out'night. Flippin' Jacobs shows up in a blue shirt, blue pants and brown frickin' shoes.; 8:47 PM
wtc said...: Who shoudl Au go after? It is too late this year, but who should be on the list?; 8:48 PM
digger4au said...: Jacobs should be selling women's shoes at Pick a Pair. How he got this job is beyond me.; 8:49 PM
Miller said...: 8-4 this year...

With marked improvement from the start of the season to the end. 8 wins is not unreasonable for this year. Anything over 8 wins is gravy.; 8:50 PM
wtc said...: Jacobs is bought buy Lowder and Dye. I have big issue with that. Those two finally got back into the fold. I liekd Dye but his time has passed. He should not be hanging around AU anymore. Kinda like Ted Kennedy going on springbreak. It just smells bad.; 8:52 PM
digger4au said...: Did you hear

The butcher backed into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.; 8:53 PM
wtc said...: I see LSU, UGA, UAT as the toughest games. I think Nutt played the best hand he's got. He goes 6-6 this year. Everyone is ready for him and he lost two very good linemen. Nutt is Tuberville. Goes 8-4 or 9-3 most of the time but has a tendency to go worse or better every once in a while.; 8:55 PM
digger4au said...: I thought Lowder was too busy saving his bank to get too envolved. Dye should just ride off into the sunset.; 8:55 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I have heard Lebo talk about the "AAU ban" ... and his explanation is that Mark Komara (the AAU guy) was considered an Auburn booster.

Using boosters to influence kids to sign is a huge NCAA violation. This story interests me. Maybe I can take some time this summer and work on it.; 8:56 PM
Anonymous said...: 7-5; 8:57 PM
Jet said...: I'm not shopping, so I don't have a list ... yet.

This signing class, and the one prior show me that Lebo is making inroads. Would I like him to go glad-hand more? Yes.

As for football, 6 wins is the benchmark. But I'm cautiously optimistic that we can get to 7 or 8.; 8:57 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: The NCAA determined that Komara was a booster ... by definition. I don't think he's an Auburn guy per se.; 8:57 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Read this is the Komara thing interests you.

1,100 phone calls in two years is a lot.; 8:59 PM
digger4au said...: That is strange how do they do that. Place the sword on each shoulder and say I pronounce you a ....; 8:59 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: yeah, 5-7....that was my prediction last season once Jay G got to 80% Tubs being gone. I kinda expected the regime change to hurt recruiting worse than it did, so maybe I could go to 6-6, but I really don't see any huge differences from last year. The lack of depth at O Line is gonna hurt. I don't forsee prolific QB play, and that is super important for Malzahn's system. The up tempo pace + bad offense = quicker on and off the field, which will just lead to the defense being tired again. Same story, second verse Maybe worse. Improvement could come, but it will take time if it does.

I like Chiz, too, but I'm still not sold on him. I know not to judge him based on that impossibly situation he had a ISU (because that was my argument to the critics), but I still find it difficult to overlook.; 9:00 PM
Anonymous said...: Kinda smells like UCONN; 9:01 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I tend to side with Peter in this football discussion.

We're still looking at a team with an alarming lack of OL depth, a questionable receiving corps and a questionable quarterback corps. Expecting 30 points per game seems like a stretch to me.; 9:02 PM
Anonymous said...: I agree...I was giving the 7th game as the one xtra victory. Anything beyond that I think is a big stretch. I think there are so many "ifs" that one bad thing happens it could be a long season.; 9:04 PM
Jet said...: AU1N04 ...

Kinda smells like UConn over UNC. Kinda smells like Hamburger King.; 9:05 PM
wtc said...: 2009 will be a tough season. I feel that with everyone working together, AU can do better than many expect. Much of the demise last year can be attributed to the OC being fired and the offense having no leadership, on or off the field.
I will surely be disappointed with less than 8 wins. now if AU has injuries to the OL, I will adjust downward but otherwise I am aiming high.; 9:06 PM
Anonymous said...: I picked Louisville so my sense of smell is way off. I was referring to the article. UCONN making 1500 calls previously.; 9:07 PM
Jet said...: Jay G ...

How do you view the schedule? More manageable? Less?

I'm asking ... but I'm not sticking around for the answer ...

Good night, HOTTIETHESIOLOGISTS.; 9:07 PM
digger4au said...: JGT thanks for the article that explains the NCAA position. Not sure I agree with it but I am sure they don't care if I ever agree with them.; 9:08 PM
BigEZ said...: You can trust this! Our D will be tough with Chiz back and Roof here. Like always, our D will keep us in games and who knows? It's not like we've been struggling for 5 or 6 years like Bama had to do. We are not rebuilding, so the turn around could be a little sooner.; 9:11 PM
Miller said...: Valid points... i had to take off the O&B glasses for a minute... I will trim down to 7 wins being what it will take for me to be 'ok' with it, as long as there is improvement from beginning to end...

It will take a tremendous amount of luck though, to not have a 5-7, 6-6 season... OL depth could kill us before we get started... LB depth could do the same. As long as they find a serviceable, game manager at QB, the offense can be decent.; 9:11 PM
digger4au said...: My lofty prediction is probably wishful thinking. I agree with the thin O-Line if we have many injuries then the sesean will go in the tank quickly.; 9:11 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: the news station here was just reporting on the slayings at J. Vilma's house. The whole time, they're playing his highlight reel. Just seems strange.; 9:11 PM
Hornet said...: Quindarius Carr reminds me of one of the dudes from Bell Biv Devoe or Boyz II Men...I'm just not sure which one.
Craig Stevens reminds me of Dr Octopus from Spider Man; 9:12 PM
Denny Crum said...: Been lurking tonight reading comments. Interesting stuff.; 9:12 PM
BigEZ said...: As always, injuries will be key. If we have as many as we did last year, we won't win 5 games, but hopefully the chemistry is good. A little bit of that goes a long way.; 9:12 PM
BigEZ said...: What gets me is how terrible all around that I thought we were but still only blown out in a couple of games...?; 9:15 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: EZ, you can make the D as tough as you want, but if you leave them on the field for 50 minutes (yeah, an exaggeration...barely), they will give up points. especially at LB, where the depth and talent isn't enough to keep the guys fresh.; 9:15 PM
Denny Crum said...: Injuries this season?!?!, we need to worry about coming out of spring ball without injuries.

I want to know how the E-Town wunderkid, Chris Todd is doing.; 9:15 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: okay, enough from me. I'm bumming myself out.; 9:15 PM
Denny Crum said...: BTW, I wish Shesaid would contribute more. Shesaid, while being pretty hot, has got some great insight on things.; 9:16 PM
Monica said...: Bring on Mrs. Jet!!!; 9:16 PM
digger4au said...: MOn have you been lurking; 9:17 PM
Monica said...: Nope, Digger - been out of commission most of the day.

Jay G. another great vid.
Bangin on Bynes for his tiny arms.
I like Carr's glasses.

That video music fills me with the urge to wear polyester.; 9:21 PM
wtc said...: I'm not giving in to the lower win-loss record. Really feel we are better than showed last year. Too many injuries and NO breaks. Yes we could have lost more games (TN) but we could have won more (ARK) AU just looked horrible in going through that schedule. QB play is huge. AU needs a Randy Campbell type. Not flashy but won't get you beat.; 9:23 PM
digger4au said...: As usual can't stay on any longer. All you hotties have a good night; 9:23 PM
BigEZ said...: You're right PF, I just don't think it's possible to be any worse than we were last year on offense. I think, hope, and pray that Gus is tricky enough to disguise our weaknesses and hold the ball for a while.; 9:24 PM
BigEZ said...: We have to everyone doing the same thing and believe in it, I can't stress this enough. That is main reason for the change. There were players that by the end didn't want any of the coaches there.; 9:25 PM
wtc said...: EZ, you can read tell that by the interviews jay has posted. Ziemba, Tate, Green, etc. all sound as though they thought last year was wasted on the things they were taught and how they were taught.; 9:27 PM
wtc said...: I'm out for the night. Got an earlier start today and an early start Wednesday.

Night all.; 9:28 PM
Monica said...: man i know how to clear a blog!; 9:29 PM
BigEZ said...: Yeah wtc, you can't have the o coordinator telling you one thing and then go to group drills and your position coach telling you to do different. That crap doesn't work for any team or any job.; 9:30 PM
BigEZ said...: Waddup MonDiesel..; 9:31 PM
BigEZ said...: I don't mind playing cleanup. Come in bottom of the ninth and close it down.; 9:31 PM
Miller said...: I'm trying to learn how to tile via the interwebs...; 9:32 PM
Monica said...: MonDiesel = me likey; 9:34 PM
Monica said...: Tiling - You find a good handyman and you pay him to do it.

I tiled our fireplace. I love it. Turned out beautifully. I'll never do it again.; 9:35 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: have you looked up the DIY classes at Lowes or Home Depot?; 9:37 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Calipari. It's ON.; 9:58 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I think with any luck at all we are a 7 win team, witht eh possibility of being a 9 win team.

The team was in alot of games late last year. I don't think the talent is there for a national championship run, but the talent is there to be competetive in every game this year.

I think by adding 15 pounds to the lineman last year we win 2 more games.; 10:08 PM
Miller said...: I would pay someone to do it, if I had someone else's money to spend in doing so... but, since it is my money, and I would like to do several other projects... that means, I get to tile my kitchen myself.

straight/square pattern, or diagonal?

I do plan on attending on eof the DIY classes at the dePot.; 10:15 PM
Miller said...: I'm also trying to figure out paint types, and primers, and what kind of rollers i need to paint with...

having never done any of this before (I was 4 when my parents built there house... so I was more painting myself than the wall back then)... having never done any of this, I haven't the slightest clue what I am doing. Should be fun.; 10:17 PM
Monica said...: You're tiling your entire kitchen floor?; 10:22 PM
Miller said...: yes ma'am; 10:23 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Congrats to the UK nation.; 10:24 PM
Miller said...: Rebecca Lobo is extremely tall!; 10:27 PM
Monica said...: doing it on the diagonal makes the room look bigger; 10:28 PM
Monica said...: congrats Shesaid on your front page status - YOU'RE A STAR all over again; 10:29 PM
Miller said...: I wonder if the diagonal would be more difficult?; 10:30 PM
shesaid said...: Thanks, Monica. I'm scared though. Is that normal?; 10:33 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Watching The Real Housewives of New York.

At Wifey's behest.

These gals are not hot enough to have men deal with this amount of drama. No way. I don't do maintenance makeup.; 10:35 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: yeah miller, diagonal means more cuts.; 10:41 PM
Monica said...: Just breath through the fear, Shesaid. It's just part of the fame panic. I'm here for you.

The Real Housewives of NY or neither real or housewives. Discuss.

Not sure, Miller.; 10:41 PM
Monica said...: breath = breathe; 10:42 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: These chicks are definitely not housewives according to my definition.

They're doing nothing but spending their man's money. They're accomplishing exactly zero.

Still, it's engrossing. These chicks have no humility or self-awareness.; 10:44 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Miller, I would just go in different kitchens and see what look you like the best. The diagonal makes the room look bigger, but might not look great if you are going for the traditional look in your kitchen. I would go to some model homes or open houses.; 10:50 PM
Monica said...: Two of them are spending their own money the cook and the "writer".

Their GENUINE lack of self awareness, ego mania is intriguing. They really are nut burgers.; 10:51 PM
Monica said...: I don't like tile laid on the diagonal. That's just me. Men are still like tile.

They have great books in Home Depot/Lowes to get a look at different kitchens. They are located just inside the door in the Lowes around here.; 10:52 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Eltoro.; 10:54 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: is a beast; 10:56 PM
Nooj4AU(qualify tyrick!) said...: for sure...i saw it with my own eyes; 11:23 PM
Nooj4AU(qualify tyrick!) said...: I like your twitter about the OT MCain Jay G. He seems truly ready to make the best of his senior year.; 11:27 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: GO HOKIES!; 11:35 PM

Reading through the articles, it appears the players are positive. I haven't read anything that makes me think there is any discontent.

The McCalebb talk is probably the most surprising. I expected Tate and Fannin to get most of the carries, but it looks like McCalebb will be in the mix.; 6:21 AM

Work is swamped and I can't keep up here as much as I'd like but I sure do enjoy reading and thinking about football again. Well, I never stop thinking about it. But you know what I mean.

Jet - was Michael wearing a box as part of his disguise during said Mutton busting?; 6:53 AM

wtc said...: Listened to Longshore this AM just to hear CHizik. When it was over Longshore is giving him grief for not saying they were going to win the national championship. Then starts in that he thinks Chizik feels they can not complete in the SEC west.

now I remember why I hardly ever listen to that show. Rick & Bubba give me better sports info than that show.; 8:47 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ooooohhh, I see Andy Bitter is in full on copycat mode and will be hosting live chats now. It's been kinda interesting to see that blog evolve since Ching left. I thought Andy was going to be a step back (and he was initially), but he's done a good job watching what works in the blogosphere and evolving accordingly. I still think he's mostly copycat, though, in most of his stories, videos, and now chat. All hail Jay G.; 8:51 AM

Seanzie said...: Who/what is a Longshore? And for the record anyone that thinks Auburn can't compete in the SEC West shouldn't be a sports commentator.; 8:55 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I've never heard Longshore, but if Jay G says he's a sorry excuse for a human being, I believe it.; 8:55 AM
