Auburn received with a Hummer

Hey everyone. Auburn's ~~gauche~~ splashy limousine gimmick has morphed into something more high class.

Our friends at AuburnSports.com are reporting that the Tigers' coaches, in the midst of a barnstorming tour across the state, have upgraded their transportation. The standard limousine has been replaced by a Hummer.

This whole thing seems odd to me.

Will it generate attention? You betcha.

Is it the right kind of attention? We shall see.

Good stuff, Jet.

Does it get any better than hummer humor?; 12:27 PM

Crystal Pepsi
Calling Jordan-Hare "The Jungle"

Eddie McCoy said...: Sensi... How can you mention Crystal Pepsi without mentioning New Coke.; 12:35 PM
Jet said...: The resolution, I believe, will be ready for introduction today, or tomorrow at the latest. I spoke to the sponsor's secretary this morning.

The draft has five "WHEREASES." I do not know if the draft has been modified.; 12:36 PM

No Hummer Killer!

Seanzie said...: New Coke... big bust or best marketing campaign of all time?; 12:39 PM
WarEagleRK said...: But Crystal Pepsi had Van Halen's "Right Now" on the commercial, New Coke didn't have that.

"I never knew a hummer could make me feel so good!"

I've always known, always.; 12:39 PM
Jet said...: Jay G,

If and when it occurs, there will be an official copy notarized by the Secretary of the Senate. I will obtain it for you and I guess I'll drive it down to the Agonizer. It might take a day for that to be ready.; 12:40 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Every day is the biggest day in HABOTN history, each day is better than the last.; 12:40 PM
Jet said...: New Coke was an Epic Failure along the lines of the Edsel for those of my parents' generation.

Crystal Pepsi was just a garden variety failure.

Unless, of course, you buy into the theory that Coke knew exactly what it was doing.; 12:41 PM
Seanzie said...: They didn't know at the time but it certainly worked out for the best.; 12:43 PM

ehyou said...: It's hilarious that if it involves Auburn, it's laughable and if it involves Bama, it's a right as rain. There's no cognitive thought, that's just their reaction to every single circumstance.

I think Alan intends to continue it and I may work something up on a weekend again, but that's way away from now.; 12:59 PM
Bfoster18 said...: What's off about sending all of your assistants to one high school at a time? That's brilliant. Forget the limo "prop" as you media guys have pegged it.

It's transportation.

My only beef is the parachute orange shirts they are wearing. Well, except for Roof.

Obviously, from the kids' quotes, it's created a lot of positive juice.; 1:01 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: sorry to hear that Sensi. i think you've got a talent for it.; 1:01 PM
Monica said...: You're so sweet, THT. My website for the art was left in the dust when I started working a "real" job again. I will make that happen eventually. Until then I can just add you to my email list. You'll be the first on the list. :-)

all pepsi = flat coke; 1:06 PM
Monica said...: It IS a prop. I'm not sure why that's supposed to be a bad word. It's a gimmick. It's a part of the dog and pony show. If someone out there doesn't like our show, I'd say they are just hatin.; 1:07 PM

we got to the park before the gates opened & jetted down to row 1 to watch batting practice. we got to talk to Peter Moylan and Mike Gonzalez and also gave Timmy Hudson a big "War Eagle!" we hung around late after the game and met Martin Prado then drove home. i got in bed at 4:30am ET.; 1:25 PM

I don't believe this, but there will be those who say:

a. You're just trying act like rock stars. The rock star's at the other place.
b. Auburn doesn't do stuff like that.
c. Won't play UCLA, but you'll get a "hey-look-at-me" prop.
d. yada yada yada.

chip chip said...: if something has so many bammers riled up and calling it stupid, it must be smart.

its the Constanza Principle: whatever your natural intuition tells you is right, do the opposite.

all the bammers and slimebaums bashing the limo are playing right into luper's hands simply by talking about it and showing recruits the type of fan they will be playing in front of if they go to tuscaloser. if a recruit says he likes the limo, then, by extension, bama fans are calling those recruits stupid as well.; 2:23 PM

I havent checked the odds, does the baseball team have a chance to make the SEC tournament with a sweep of wins, no laughter, and or other teams losses.

Note: Being in SW bama, I have noticed our QB signee, Leroys Clint Mosely is one heck of a baseball player, Coach P, should check him out since he will be redshirted this fall anyway.

Who was the last baseball/football cross over at Auburn? My memory it was Josh Sullivan, right? backup QB and pitcher on the baseball team.; 2:31 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Baseball team still could qualify for Hoover, sure.

It's going to take a big turnaround, but that team has enough offense. If the pitching gets 25% better, they could sneak in as a 7 or 8 seed.; 2:35 PM

Seanzie said...: Whatever the Finebummer is doing right now is really stupid.; 2:36 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: Gabe Gross I think was before Josh Sullivan, but Gross was a good one. He hailed from my hometown. He just signed a new contract he is set, his brother says he built a house in Auburn.

Yep, I just checked Auburn baseball site, Josh Sullivan former tiger pitcher, in the minor leagues.; 2:38 PM

Harrison - interestingly (to me at least), my son and I went to a local muni-park near the house this Saturday to watch some kids playing baseball. Well, mostly my son got to watch, I was too busy watching him making sure he didn't get into the dugout or do something he shouldn't. Anyway, as it turns out for 15 minutes I was standing right next to Javy Lopez and didn't even realize it since my attention was focused on the boy.

patdyeswildturkey said...: Think about it, fans, haters, sportscasters, etc. may like it or hate it, but two points:

1. Its being talked about regardless.

2. The kids like it. Here in Mobile it went over like gangbusters. Note: I dont know what that means I just have always heard it used.; 4:44 PM
wartiger said...: i haven't been listening to talk radio..it the hummer idea getting attacked? I really don't see how it could be viewed as a negative thing..I mean all 7 recruiters going out together..has that ever even happpened?; 4:48 PM
wartiger said...: it freaking sweet..they save money by carpooling..AU has gone green...; 4:48 PM
michael said...: We will have to one-up this every year to keep making splash. By 2012, I foresee the coaches traveling around in a boat being towed by the Oscar Meyer Wiener-mobile being driven by a guy in a Chewbacca costume while the coaches hold a continuous toga party on the top deck with guests including but not limited to Barbara Streisand, 50 Cent, and Alicia Silverstone.

That'll get the recruits talking!; 4:50 PM
