  1. I knew the opportunity was going to be there for you, Seanzie.

    Glad you took command.

  2. What can I say, I'm an opportunist. Great vid Jay, I appreciate your efforts.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Seanzie, you should be at least in the Notable Newcomers section by now.

    I'll make that addition now.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Thanks, Jay...with that I'll retire. Everyone have a good night!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Welcome to the club.

  6. 7 just checking in since I have been out of town all day....thanks for working late Jay!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Have y'all seen the headlines on Fox News about whether it is right to pay college coaches millions of dollars when states are taking bailout money and colleges are raising tuition?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Cincy: Sounds like stories created by writers who are jealous of John Calipari.

    WEG: Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Posters on al.com (who are very weird I must say) were complaining that Auburn has raised their ticket prices after a rotten year. They didn't raise the prices, we have 8 games instead of 7.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Try as I might not to, it is very difficult not to get excited about Auburn football when watching the videos you post and reading the comments by the different players.

    ReplyDelete
  11. is chandler brooks from auburn city?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Brilliant!

    (I'm headed home. Take care, HOTTIES.)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Chandler, it should be pointed out, is from Huntsville.

    His stepfather was an Auburn walk-on in the early 1990s. James Brooks. Not that James Brooks.

    You can read all about it in my Friday morning story!

    ReplyDelete
  14. okay...thanks...i am still getting the paper so far!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Congrats, Seanzie! I've always thought you were notable.

    I love it when your fandom hangs out, Jay G. It makes you seem all human and stuff.

    Chandler Brooks - I like him.
    Shoemaker looks super duper comfortable being interviewed. :-)
    I love hearing from McFadden.

    Thanks JGT - great job

  16. Goodnight Hotties....long ride to Florence and back today! Keep dry and War Eagle!

    ReplyDelete
  17. WEG,
    What did you go to Florence for today? That is where I grew up.

    ReplyDelete
  18. had a meeting at UNA for designers- 2 hours and then back!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Congrats Seanzie! Let that be a lesson to all you lurkers out there, "you cant make the club in the tub baby!"

    ReplyDelete
  20. Don't those people know how to have video conferences, etc??? That's a lot of wasted time and gas for a 2 hour meeting. I used to hate that kind of stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Cincy, what is the packet price this year. It looks like even though the ticket site is open online, the ticket office mailed the order forms out yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Each ticket is $395. Last year it was $350 for 7 games. The only thing that gripes me is last year the handling charge was $5 if you ordered online. This year it is $25! Not sure why the increase.

    ReplyDelete
  23. nice work JG. just catching up from early this afternoon. nite nite.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Did it seem to anyone else that Shoemaker was about to cry?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sorry I missed the party ... ElTurbo had to steal the laptop for the evening.

    Pesky school.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Looked to me that Shoemaker was not disappointed in being the back up.
    When asked did it hurt to sit the bench, did he say 'at first'? I thought he was going to follow up with, but I got used to it and it is OK.
    I played a long time ago, but sitting on the bench was not OK. No one should ever be happy with that, but expecially if you were a starter.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I don't think so. I think he just looked painfully uncomfortable in the spotlight.

    Jet - Get your priorities straight.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Jet,

    The Relay for Life site should be fixed now. They were doing some updates to the site.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Come on jet, school is almost over. Give him a break. They won't take that ACT score away.

    BTW-you need to call me for a lunch at Hamburger King or Zoe's.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am actually looking through the archives the week ... rumor that ElTurbo posted under a nom de guerre that I haven't deciphered.

    Hamburger King or Zoe's?

    That's like saying ... Jenna Fischer or Phyllis Diller?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hamburger King is better.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hamburger King

    and Jenna


    You really had to ask that? I'm disappointed.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think that was a rhetorical question.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Dmiller, did you catch my answer about the ACAC?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I can't get enough of the Hamburger Kind discussion.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I used to know a girl who was the hamburger kind.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I don't even know what that means.

    ReplyDelete
  38. If we go to Hamburger King I will have to get some Lipitor first.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Go to bed, ElTurbo.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I am in severe need of the King.

    ReplyDelete
  41. HA it's 34!

    WTC - After all the Conecuh you've eaten one lil ole hamburger won't hurt.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Lunch at the King tomorrow?

    ReplyDelete
  43. y'all make me feel so left out

    :-(

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am considering taking tomorrow off to do a little work here at the Hangar.

    WTC, DMiller ... we can communicate about such. Oh, you, too, JZ.

    Or we could wait until DMiller pays me for my UConn over UNC victory in the HABOTN Bracket Challenge

    ReplyDelete
  45. Not sure, Monica ... I think he's lurking.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm taking off Friday as well but then see where my assistant added a meeting at 8:30am. I think she is going to run that one herself. Not sure I can make it, but holler at me and I will see.

    Would be great to meet Dmiller and JZ.

    ReplyDelete
  47. WTC has an assistant.

    ReplyDelete
  48. WTC, Dmiller, JZ

  52. Later guys. Got a little paperwork to finish.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Adios, HOTTIEMIGOS.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Everybody does remember that tomorrow is Pants Free Friday, right?

    ReplyDelete
  55. I have homework to do, but I'm procrastinating right now.

    Anyone ever hear of the FCA program that Auburn football runs?

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think I would get fired if I go to work "Pants-Free." I'll give it a shot anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Don't worry Shesaid...it's a federally mandated thing. I think.

    ReplyDelete
  58. shesaid,

    I think you can interpret pants-free to mean kilt-allowed or skirt-encouraged as well.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I hope to be a Notable Newcomer someday...hopefully I haven't passed the newcomer time frame yet.

    ReplyDelete
  60. J-z,

    I heard through the grape vine that a week from this saturday they are having a FCA appreciation banquet. This includes meeting the assistant coaches and watching practice at the stadium.

    I'm hoping I can go to that

    ReplyDelete
  61. Is the corporate sponsor the money that you could be saving with Geico?

    Hopefully it's not a hometown sponsor like Flea Market Montgomery or Chip Ellis Title Loams!

    ReplyDelete
  62. That would be cool. Didn't you say you play a club level sport?

    ReplyDelete
  63. It's just like, It's just like, an Auburn blog.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Good Friday, Hotties!

    Time for the No Pants Dance!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Goo morning hotties! I didn't know morning came this early! Off to take hubby for his "welcome to 50" procedure. :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. So early, I can't even spell - good morning

    ReplyDelete
  67. Anonymous5:22 AM

    Good morning, Hotties! We made it! I was late this morning, so I didn't have time to read this new thread, but I did watch the video. Great stuff, as usual. Why was Ryan Shoemaker saying "your" instead of "my"? I don't know why, but I found that strange.

    ReplyDelete
  68. morning...great vid Jay..I know we tell you but I man I sure do appreciate the work Jay..really man thanks...

    I notice there has been alot of talk about first post and notable new comers and the like so let me just say that I am very honored to hold the position of feeling the heat...thing is I have been sitting in there for almost a year..I think it's time to step my game up so Hotties get ready to start seeing much more of wartiger in the future...it's time to feel the heat baby...have a good day Hotties..

    ReplyDelete
  69. Goo morning to you too, Cincy. I LOL'd at the "welcome to 50 procedure".

    If I'm alive I'll be back later.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Morning Hotties - it's Friday and perhaps more importantly to some, it's a no pants installment of Friday. As I have to attend a 2.5 hour meeting attended by all the executives, I elected to wear pants today.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Jet, J-Z, Miller or wtc - what time does the King close on Friday's, specifically next Friday? I should be driving through the gump in the mid-afternoon timeframe and could easily see myself making that quick run off of 85.

    J-Z, Miller and wtc, I hope you enjoy your lunches. Make Jet sit at a separate table from you and don't include him in your conversations. Make it obvious that you're talking about him and then laugh loudly.

  75. GaTiger ...

    The King usually stays open until 2, and then whatever you get after that is a bonus, as I recall.

    Now, if you think you can be there by 1:30 or so next week, then perhaps we can delay for a week.

    ReplyDelete
  78. HA Luv, I was proud of myself for pretty much moderating my fiestiocity.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Jet - thanks for the update and the kind offer. Though I don't believe I'll be able to make that time. I'll be spending next week searching for Tom Tuttle again and will be landing at ATL supposedly at 1:42 Eastern on Friday then immediately heading towards P'vegas to grab my daughter for some family time.

    Perhaps another time.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Monica - fiestiocity = Unfulfilled potential

    ReplyDelete
  81. Dang, GaTiger ... I was hoping you'd buy me a late lunch.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Congrats Seanzie!! Glad it's Friday, but I sure do wish it weren't 50 degress and rainy here. I thought I heard them say we might expect some flurries next week here in Atlanta. It's April, time for 80 degree weather, daylit rain showers and an A Day game, not snow.

    I'm really diggin the bowchicka bowwow music Mr Jay G Tate is tacking on to the videos.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Eric Smith is rotating with the one's in practice..interesting

    Auburn is gonna use that spread punt garbage next year...yuck

    ReplyDelete
  84. Good Morning, Hotties. Glad to report the sun is finally shining on the plains.

    Luv, I also found Ryan's pronoun usage odd.

    ReplyDelete
  85. At least he didn't speak in the 3rd person ... Monica would have asked for his scholarship to be revoked.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Jet - if I can work it out in the future, I'll extend an invitation to the King and pick it up. Just yours, not any other gumpians who may wind up attending. Okay, if I work it out and we arrange said King lunch, any gumpian I've known for more than 25 years I'll absolutely buy your lunch that day. Anything outside of that is subject to my whim and fancy at that time.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Morning gang, I've heard the spread punt is like the I can't believe it's not butter formation, in that, it looks like a punt, acts like a punt but it's just got nothing else to it.

    I've also heard, like margarine, the real thing ends up being better for you anyway. Just saying.

    ReplyDelete
  88. GaTiger ... if and when we meet at the King, it will be my treat. Anyone that can run 13 miles on purposes deserves a burger.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Question for the group, is anyone having trouble with the earlier videos that Jay had made that are now on the gannett site (The 3/30 and 3/31 practices)? I'm trying to figure out if it's my machine or if their site's messed up.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I will be in Prattville in July for a week. I want a Hamburger King lunch with you high powered, assistant having, important people. And you too, Jet.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I don't know, Jet. I think some people can pull off talking about themselves in the third person. I find it sort of amusing in a way.

    Ryan Shoemaker is not one of those people though.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Nicely done (as usual) Mon.


    You won't be disappointed in the lunch.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Jet is just jealous because he know Monica loves it when Harrison speaks in third person.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Alright peeps, heading out for the 2+ hour, executive laden, pants wearing meeting. Good times.

    Jet - I will wager you $6.35 that was ElTubo.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Luv - should I assume from your Pelham remark that you are a fellow Shelby County resident?

    "When someone can't smoke or have sex in their private office, we're in bad shape."

    ReplyDelete
  110. Technically isn't it the public's office?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Hmmm...did the bill also ban having sex or is he just projecting there?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  122. I've never seen him so I don't know if I'd want him having sex in my office or not.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Is the sex and smoking in your own private/public office part of that pursuit of happiness thing?

    ReplyDelete
