Hey everyone. Glad to see the cable vs. DirecTV vs. Dish Network debate raging. I have strong opinions. You know them.TODAY: Players will be available around 4 p.m. I'm aiming to get a Players Report (I guess you'd call it that) around 5:30 p.m. Maybe a video after that. Practice commences at 7 p.m. I'll be around for that, too.
In other words, I'll probably be updating into the wee hours. If you don't stay up late, just come check us out in the morning.
Only six days until 4/20 ...
Good Hot Morning!
ReplyDeleteWell done Monica!
ReplyDeletego mono
ReplyDeleteCapt. Steubing! Paging Capt. Steubing ...
ReplyDeletePoolside cocktails anyone?
ReplyDeleteJGT, radio virtuoso. Nice job yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI was just watching some video on auburnsports.com of Trooper Taylor and found his comments on Montez interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is some of it (losely):
"...for me to talk about him he's gotta be out there playing...talking about potential dont do any good, until he's out there playing I got nothing to say..."
He was asked about what exactly was his injury and he said he wasn't allowed to talk about injuries, but then said, "I know what his injury is gonna be if he takes too much longer." (laughter)
"I'm not downing him, I just want him to push himself cuz he does have some ability from what i saw on tape."
Gee I wonder what kind of zaniness will be going on today on the HABOTN?!?
ReplyDeleteGopher!
ReplyDeleteHave a rum punch my man.
No Montez, No Mckenzie. I wish these guys would/could play. Wonder what's going on with all that.
ReplyDeleteShanks much Ishaac m'man. Yknooooowwwww I don't ordrinarilariy shtart to drinksho much this early in the morning. Buuuuuuut hey!. Ish 5 o'clock somewhere, right? Need to work on the toleranceabitIguess.
ReplyDeleteMr. Jay G Tate has strong opinions on the cable v satellite thing?
ReplyDeleteOn PPL's progress:
ReplyDelete"It's important to me that his teammates see that he's pushing himself...if he's getting treatment once a day, that ain't good enough...I want 3 or 4 times a day
I want him to know that when he's not with me he's over there with yox...that was different for him.
He needs to earn his teammates respect."
On Tim Hawthorne:
(this is who Jay G. is telling us is going to be a performer if I heard him correctly on the air yesterday)
Coach Troop said, "Tim Hawthorne coming into his own... really proud of that kid... kinda taking a leadership role...he's on his way...pleasantly surprised"
Again, all of this if from a video on auburnsports.com
BTW Steve, a buddy of mine here at work has started figuring out how to rig his car for paintballs, and was glad to see someone else out in the world felt the same way.
ReplyDeleteI liked Troops comment on potential. He said something like potential is one of the most insulting complements because it means you haven't done anything. Troop seems to be a regular Mark Twain.
ReplyDeletePaint balls are good.
ReplyDeleteI really like our staff's attitude towards performance. Atleast it FEELS like we're going in a better direction than where we were last fall. Although I do remember the optimism during last spring, too.
ReplyDeleteever since i installed McAfee Security on my home computer, my high speed is stuck in neutral. anyone know how to fix this problem?
ReplyDeleteoh, and i have Comcast, so that's most of the problem.
Gday!! Heading into a meeting and thank you for giving some insights on what to do for my HD and Sports fix.
ReplyDeletemrtommyd, I agree with you 100%.
ReplyDeleteSteve, will you still be singing Cable's praises when they start billing you for bandwidth usage I wonder?
ReplyDeleteGood suggestion about USB, Monica. I'll have to see if that old Tivo box even has a port.
I feel the love!!
ReplyDeleteOh crappy pic of the boat!
ReplyDeletel8r
Go with AVG virus protection instead of Mcafee. Mcafee is SLOW!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI use Avira antivirus. It is free and works well.
ReplyDeletei use Valtrex anti-virus. it's all about suppression
ReplyDelete4/20
ReplyDeletenice touch, JGT
McAfee is free with Comcast, but shoot, my old AOL dial-up from 10 years ago is just as fast as what i'm dealing with now. sux. thanks fellas.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to remember that your computer can still spread the virus while on Valtrex.
ReplyDeleteCall me stupid, but what is happening on 4/20?
ReplyDeleteYeah, nice touch on the 4-20 remark
ReplyDeleteI'm drinkin plenty of fluids in preparation for Panic this weekend in orange beach, Ill need it.
On 4/20 people get high, Luv
ReplyDeleteAlso, did you check out the Charter strategy I recommended for you on the last thread?
Luv - read this
ReplyDeleteIs that from a WP song? I don't know anything by them.
ReplyDeleteI saw the strategy to use on Charter, michael. We'll see if it works. I'd rather get a year or more out of them, instead of just 6months.
People get high multiple times a day. On 4/20, you get to claim its really cool (especially those in middle school!).
ReplyDeleteOH! Thanks, sensi. I'm not a pot smoker, so I knew nothing about this.
ReplyDeleteI learned something new today!
ReplyDeleteLuv, it takes persistence with the cable companies. I usually saved about 20 bucks a month, so it is up to you whether you feel like being on the phone with them every three months for that. For some, I imagine it is not worth it.
ReplyDeleteNot for $20, no. I'm sure when you were in college, though, that was drinking money!
ReplyDeleteYeah and if you light up AT 4:20 on 4/20 it's even better ..... so I'm told.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be the heretical voice of dissent, but I could care less if the coaching staff excludes the media from practices. If CGC believes that the media presence interferes with his all-important initial assessment of the players, then, by all means, clear 'em out. This includes ... JGT [insert stunned gasp from the fawning gallery and unusual sycophants here].
ReplyDeleteAnd please don't tell me that media "distractions" are actually helpful and that now players won't be able to concentrate in a packed stadium. The presence of hulking and intimidating reporters, flash bulbls, and the "noice" of no. 2 pencils on notepads are not the "media distractions" that CGC is referring to and trying to reduce during this inaugural Spring period.
Enough already with the harping and snide comments about this and grousing about the poor, oppressed beat hacks who can't get a scoop.
Perhaps a combat tour in TTown with Darlin' Nicky would provide some fresh perspective about whether Auburn's staff is media friendly or not. From the outside looking in, this staff seems pretty quotable and accessible to me but who really cares? If they didn't say a word until kicking some arse on Saturday, that'd be just fine.
Who peed in your corn flakes this morning? I haven't seen any "harping and snide comments about this and grousing about the poor, oppressed beat hacks who can't get a scoop" lately. GOSH!
ReplyDeleteCommissioner, I too don't mind media being excluded and understand the coaches' reasoning, but uhhh.. who was even talking about that? Your tone suggests that you just can't take any more of it, but no one has even said anything about it recently.
ReplyDeleteIt's Jay G's blog, he can talk about whatever he wants to. I disagree with him on the media at practice issue, and so have a few others, but who cares?
Comm'r, I don't like the closed practices either, but I agree that if it is what the coaches think is best, I have no problem with it.
ReplyDeleteI think what the coaches want to avoid is having a player read about how good he is. Coaches want the players focused on how good they can be.
Yea, Luv and Michael. I have to agree. The post was more suited to a different forum.
ReplyDeleteComm'r, nobody is disagreeing with you. I would suggest stopping the rant before you end up in the digital oblivion.
ReplyDeleteding ding ding
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize strawmen could inflict flesh wounds!
ReplyDeleteCommish, the only problem i have with your post is it is way too long. I don't have the attention span to
ReplyDeleteI am stuck in a meeting today.
ReplyDelete"...Valtrex can also decrease attention span loss symptoms that usually accompany herpes."
ReplyDeleteWhy did I think 4:20 came out of Californis? I was right in thinking this. This has to be the most dis-jointed (pun intended) place in all of the USA.
ReplyDeleteIf you have tried it once and didn't like it why try again.
If California does it every one seems to want to follow like a bunch of sheep right over the cliff.
I believe the forucm you are looking for is www.al.com/auburnfootball
ReplyDeleteThese Loveboat pics are making me laugh
ReplyDeleteSmiles everybody smiles!!
ReplyDeleteThere was never any storm on the Loveboat was there? Much less pirates.
ReplyDeleteI have a secret agenda and it has nothing to do with cable vs. dish, I promise.
ReplyDeleteHarrison, you're absolutely correct, I
Comm'r: Love it or leave it, homes.
ReplyDeleteYou complaining about free content is less becoming than me complaining about access at Auburn. Plus, we're talking about my job and the arbitrary obstacles that impede my ability to provide comprehensive reports.
What's your excuse?
Love,
jgt
4/20 Awesome
ReplyDeleteI wasn't saying yea or nay on cannabis with the 4/20 comment, btw.
ReplyDeleteI have a defensive driving seminar that day ...
My favorite pirate article so far:
ReplyDeletehttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090413/ap_on_re_af/piracy
Headline read yesterday: "Obama pledges to fight piracy; pirates vow revenge". They actually changed it today to something less cool, but trust me, it was there.
Valtrex cures forucm. That's what I hear.
ReplyDeleteJGT, just between us, stirring the pot is good for ratings and network deals. Every good plot needs a villain. Garrrrrrrr
ReplyDeletePirate Hookers.
ReplyDeleteNo Monica, it just controls forucm outbreaks. There is no known cure for forucm.
ReplyDeleteWhat you will see after puffing weed
ReplyDeletehttp://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1137883380?bctid=17075685001
Valtrex will also cure gratuitous pot stirring.
ReplyDeleteJay G,
ReplyDeleteMeet me next Monday and well celebrate together. You'll wanna leave the wife at home on this mission though.
Pot stirring or pot smoking? What are we talking about here?
ReplyDeleteA stirred pot never smokes.
ReplyDeleteHoly wordplay, Batman!
ReplyDeleteMelting pot? Clay pots? Ceramic pots?
ReplyDeleteSmoked Pot does stir the old desire.
ReplyDeleteall thi spot talk makes me hungry. and paranoid
ReplyDeleteNo more talking about spots.
ReplyDeleteOr spotted bears.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna visit Mars next Monday
ReplyDeletespeaking of bears, Discovery has a show call "Bear Attack". i won't watch it.
ReplyDeleteComm,
ReplyDelete"JGT, just between us, stirring the pot is good for ratings and network deals. Every good plot needs a villain. Garrrrrrrr"
I assume you are referring to Finebaum?
The DEA is currently tracking IP addresses...
ReplyDeleteComm=just another hater
ReplyDeleteTrolls are everywhere these days...
Didn't Jay G say, you're not legit on the web until the trolls show up?
ReplyDeleteAny of you younger Hotties ever hear of Mark Belcher?
ReplyDeleteNon, but I know his cousin, Harry Burper! And his nephew too, Francis Farter!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha. This is a real person. He earned his B.S. at Auburn in 1994.
ReplyDeleteDEA knows exactly where to find me.
ReplyDelete425 Molton St. Montgomery, AL
Wonder why they call him "Bags"? Hmmmmmm........
Do Puppets partake in the wacky tobacky?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. I need to check my puppet book, but I am almost certain they don't have lungs. They may do it to look cool, though.
ReplyDeletepuppets are pushers. we know steppenwolf's opinion of pushers.
ReplyDeleteI think puppets enjoy PCP
ReplyDeletethat's why their eyes are so big and they're all twitchy
ReplyDeleteWell that explains some other things, too. I saw a CSI one time where a guy on PCP went crazy and then killed and ate his girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteSo two things: maybe puppets wouldn't be so bloodthirsty if not for the PCP, and Harrison needs to add "Boyfriend High on PCP" to his list of things he will not be eaten by.
consider it added
ReplyDeleteHarrison, thanks for recommending Valtrex for my computer anti virus....JERK! Now my computer has headaches, nausea, depression, decreased urination, vision changes, an unexplained skin rash, diarrhea, hair loss, and kidney failure.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but at least now your computer won't get other computers pregnant. Valtrex can be used by guys as birth control also, right?
ReplyDeletei would think decreased urination from your computer is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteValtrex is not 100% effective. It works best when you tell girls you forgot to take it
Has puppet hour started early today?
ReplyDeleteWait a minute! So you have to pay $6/month to recieve updates for Dish?! Is that just to have them sent over the satellite? What about if I hook it up to a broadband connection, would I still have to pay for updates?
ReplyDeleteI bet telling a girl you forgot to take your Valtrex would severely limit your chances of getting her pregnant.
ReplyDeleteDoes it say it is not %100 effective as birth control on the box? Maybe I should cancel that lawsuit I filed against that pharmaceutical company after the third time my wife got pregnant while I was on Valtrex.
ReplyDeleteI like how I put the percent sign in front of the number, as if it were the dollar sign. What a moron.
ReplyDeleteAre there pirate puppets or are pirates just puppets?
ReplyDeleteY'all need to stick to sweet libations. Nobody ever did anything stupid while drunk.
ReplyDeleteIt says on the box. "may be used a birth control. if you're a moron."
ReplyDeletethe puppets from sesame street (call them muppets if you like) ruined my life!
ReplyDeleteWell us morons never read the box, so a lot of help that is to me.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you another time I wish I had read the box:
D.Miller -- I think a phone or (hardwired) broadband connection will eliminate the need for a $6/month charge.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm the Joe Montana of Not Getting My Girl Pregnant: I'm really good at it and don't know why.
LOL scott, why? What happened?
ReplyDeleteThe letters t, m and i mean nothing to me.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you say that Scott?
ReplyDeleteJGT - There is never enough information, we should always be seeking knowledge.
ReplyDeleteAU1N04 - I think that a puppet can be a pirate, but in no case can a pirate be a puppet.
ReplyDeleteScott - Sesame Street has destroyed a lot of lives. There are support groups I can get you in contact with
Jay - I am the Ryan Leaf of not getting my girl pregnant.
Hey Harrsion, are you reading that from a box you have at home or at work?
ReplyDeleteCollege Ryan Leaf or NFL Ryan Leaf?
ReplyDeleteOr even better wonderlic Ryan Leaf? If you the wonderlic Ryan Leaf then congrats, you never need to buy Valtrex again, your never getting her knocked up.
"Six days till 4/20"
ReplyDeleteJay G, i had no idea.
Can I be the Aundray Bruce of not getting my wife pregnant?
ReplyDeleteNFL Ryan Leaf. College football in the northwest doesn't really exist.
ReplyDeleteJay G.
ReplyDeleteNo lead in the pencil?
Rumor has it The Gridiron Breakdown is spending almost the entire show Tuesday on Auburn and the Wednesday show on Alabama.
ReplyDeleteTune it starting at 7 pm CDT.
Sensi, I'm going to the Yankees game tonight. I'm hoping to see Jeter throw a few pitches, rumor has it he has Swisher type stuff.
ReplyDeleteGuess you won't be watching, busy doing your show. Maybe I'll listen to the archive tomorrow.
Sensi why is it when I listen one of you sounds like you are sitting in my lap and the other one is talking through a locked bathroom door?
ReplyDeleteWill- at work, although my box at home is stolen from work.
ReplyDeleteI am the Joe Mantegna of not getting my wife knocked up
Is everybody trying to get knocked up...or trying not to?
ReplyDeleteDigger,
ReplyDeleteThat's all about the BTR interface and how different cell phones sound through the system.
We don't have faders to control any of that.
Thanks Sensi should have thought about that myself.
ReplyDeleteI am still in a holding pattern on why Sesame Street was bad for Scott.
ReplyDeleteNobody knows what they are doing therefore no answer to my question.
ReplyDeleteSteam on brothers the shoreline is just ahead.
think about it. how was i supposed to compete with big bird, the cookie monster, bert and ernie and the number of the day? all i had was the occasional visiting mailman, a random train conducter and a cheesy sweater. i never got the budget i deserved! a beautiful day in the neighborhood my a$$!
ReplyDeleteScott- I always thought the mailman on Mr. Rodgers being named Mr. McFeely was really creepy
ReplyDeleteScott - Well you could have been in the ghetto with Mr. Robinson's Neybahood
ReplyDeleteIt's all so very confusing.
ReplyDeleteI always thought my elementary school nurse, Nurse McFeely, was a little strange also. Stranger still was the fact that he didn't wear scrubs, her wore old tattered clothes and had a long beard. Even stranger still was the fact that his appointments only occurred during recess, and the only notification you got for an appointment was when he yelled, "Come see Nurse McFeely!" from the bushes.
ReplyDeleteOkidoke, last meeting.
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on today? I think everyone is in ADD mode today! I also think Commander is Mr. United and his weird opinions.
ReplyDeletehilarious Michael. i'm proud of you
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember after what game Tubs laid that "I'm more an Auburn man than most" line on everybody? I'm trying to find that sound bite.
ReplyDeleteand then eddie murphy rips me off on snl! bartender, mor bourbon down here!
ReplyDeleteDid any of you guys find Zardo Zap (from The Wiggles) hot with all that silver makeup?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Wiggles?
ReplyDeletethe wiggles (and their name) are a little creepy.

Monica, Mr United is talking down about you again today on the Roundtable......he is just got the Napoleon complex
ReplyDeleteA couple of thoughts ...
ReplyDeleteI am the Terry Bowden of procreation. Two pregnancies and then that was it.
Does the Navy have SEALS that are dedicated puppet snipers? I might solve a problem if they did.
Can I be the Bronco Nagurski of not getting my girlfriend pregnant?
ReplyDeleteThere is no debate. Cable is faster, cheaper and can handle encryption better than DSL or Sat.
ReplyDeleteOf course, since I work for a cable company and employees get Internet and TV service for free (phone costs me $26 per month) I MIGHT be somewhat biased......
Sullivan013
Sullivan, where I am, DSL is cheaper and faster. Don't know what you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteAs a new Auburn fan and out of general ignorance, why do UA fans think their football program is God's gift to America?
ReplyDeleteMy Bellsouth DSL is certainly slower than the charter high speed internet I had in college. However, it doesn't go out nearly as much.
ReplyDeleteI was paying more for Comcast and it was coming back at around 4.3 and was less stable. I pay less for ATT 6.0 and it actually comes back a bit faster @ 6.1 or 6.2.
ReplyDeleteSeanzie,
ReplyDeleteread here
Seansie
ReplyDeleteIt is due to inbreeding, the gene is passed on from genraton to generation
other than occasionally having to reset my modem, my cable internet doesn't ever go out.
ReplyDeleteDown here we have Verizon fios, its supposedly a good bit faster than broadband. I will prob switch to it at some point.
ReplyDeleteI guess UA fans are like the Portugues who still consider themselves to be a Naval power and big on the INTL trading circuit.
ReplyDeleteSo my last comment is very Dennis Miller-esque and I even mispelled Portuguese, I apologize to everyone. ;)
ReplyDeleteDennis Miller
ReplyDeleteseanzie,
ReplyDeletei was chatting with a bama fan about that the other day. their arrogance comes from a past that half of their fanbase wasn't even alive to witness. in the last 25 years, i think auburn has won the iron bowl 14 times. we have an sec title, and a 13-0 season in the most difficult conference in the nation. most alabama fans 25 years old or younger will still tell you that they have been the dominant program, because they are delusional and let what happened before they ever existed sway their opinion on the recent past.
i'm 22 years old and am pretty happy with what i have witnessed so far in my life as an auburn fan. i could care less about what happened in the 70's
Wow, that was a crazy goal by Liverpool.
ReplyDeleteESPN 2 - Champions League
Bama is a bunch of idiots.
ReplyDeleteMiller - This was Dirty's response to the internet provider in Bham question:
ReplyDelete"almost everybody i know has their's bundled with their cable like we do - Brighthouse"
For the record, you're all jealous of UAT and it shows because you can't stop talking about them.
ReplyDeleteAaaand a JUDY CHOP!
barkley - thanks for epitomizing apathy for us all
ReplyDeleteHere's what I want:
ReplyDelete1. The expectation to win based on the construction of a program that reloads.
2. To fulfill positive expectations.
Here's what I don't want:
1. The delusion of expecting to win when there is no foundational basis for such.
2. A desire to be "underrated" because "we do much better when we're under the radar."
As a one who spent the formative fan years in the 1970s, rest assured, the lessons are seared in my brain and to my very soul.
You know how I feel about them. So, on a certain level, what happened then matters to some of us. It's what fuels us.
Watch that judy chop lil missy!
ReplyDeleteI don't listen to Roundtable when Jay G. isn't on so I hate that I missed today's installment of "Monica is living rent free in Mr. U's head."
He wants me BAYUD.
Well, there is no wonder we are jealous of UAT. Look at the legacy. There was Coach Fran, Mike "F'n" Shula, Mike "Topless Dancer" Price, and the greatest of all Bama coaches, Mike "How did I lose that Iron Bowl?" Dubose. I stand in awe of UAT.

ReplyDeleteMust be the water in Tuscaloosa
There's also a phenomenon I've noticed too where anyone from the north that moves to Alabama immediately becomes an Alabama football fan. Their reasoning? It's the name of the state.

ReplyDeletemost impressive.
For those fans who weren't around during the 70's, I think it is hard to realize the impact Coach Dye made on the AU program. He truly understood Alabama and knew how to put Auburn on a level playing field with them. Things went sour toward the end, but he really was the man in my mind who gave the Auburn fans confidence again.
ReplyDeleteWhoops wrong account...
ReplyDeleteThe many identities of Kristeenuh... or should we call you Mr. Unihgted?!
ReplyDeletemichael,
ReplyDeletePimpin' ain't easy.
depressed, I remember that era and really enjoyed reading about it in Dye's book.
ReplyDeleteHe worked hard to put AU on the level playing field. Bowden cashed in fast and then imploded under his own success/devices. Tuberville took advantage of Alabama's own ineptitude and flux in the SEC.
Like him or not, Auburn hasn't had a leader like Dye since his time.
Dye is Auburn's greatest coach for that very reason, IMO.
ReplyDeleteDangit, Mchiela, you figured me out.
ReplyDeleteFunny, faker, really funny.
