Checkin' in

Hey everyone. Jenna says hello.

(I know she's wearing too much eye liner. We'll confer about that.)

There isn't much going on. I wrote a swell running story for tomorrow's editions (with no Auburn angle) and that has been my focus for a few days.

Running is good. It promotes health.

I'll start a series looking at the coaches beginning Friday. I'll pick a guy, we'll examine his background, a memorable quote and my thoughts about the guy. You can disagree. I don't mind.

So that's all I have to say right now.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Dear Leader - you wouldn't have your North Korean intelligence dept using some web site updater software program would you? Trying it out on HABOTN before hacking into the CIA? Actually, I'm guessing you hacked the CIA web site long ago.; 4:53 PM

Dear Leader said...: THT,

About 2 months ago my entire profile was erased from this site. Which means someone had to have my password. COnsidering the email and passwords are just bogus ones I created for this site (sorry Jay). I am really starting to wonder if by linkin to the NK site I pissed someone off...

If I suddenly vanish, you know why...; 5:04 PM

Norm said...: JGT - I look forward to your running article. Running shed 50+ from my frame and continuing it allows me to pretty much eat what I want and still enjoy my beer. Ran 8.5+ miles this morning and Saturday's schedule calls for 18. I am looking forward to your article more than I am my Saturday appointment.; 5:10 PM

Monica said...: Grazi, Dear Leader.; 5:44 PM
NoVaTiger said...: That's why I do my cardio on an elliptical. No impact and much easier on the shins and knees. Also, I can read while doing it.

Now that the weathers nice, I'm replacing some of the elliptical time with biking, much more pleasant.; 5:45 PM

Steve - That was a magnanimous gesture.; 6:15 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: i have been working up a profile of the formerly known as "cobra commander", then "salsa shark", and now 'guac". thus far i have learned that she is young, far to young to remember bryant's admonitions to his players regarding tds and wins to "act like you've been there before." her vocabulary, short, stacatto in character, and lack of three syllable words, resembles the language spoken in smith county mississippi. she has no college degree, but desperately needs the acceptance of the crimson wearing crowd and pretends to have some reason for affiliation with uat. did i miss much?; 6:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Mon - in honor of your Ice Cream Social, I am fixin' to have me a big bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup. I do love me some ice cream.

What a yummy dinner. some kind of really good baked fish, broccoli & carrots sauteed, fresh asparagus, brussel sprouts sauteed (I ate half of one, a first) and fresh strawberries for "1st dessert".; 6:21 PM

Norm said...: Wombat should be "Goober" rather than what she claims to be. Nice non-functioning link Goober.; 6:41 PM
Unknown said...: Oh, the Bleacher Report, the hieght of journalistic integrity. Forget the New York Times or Washington Post. Every journalist in the business strives to write for the Bleacher Report.

P.S. Sorry Jay, I just couldn't resist.; 6:42 PM
Unknown said...: I have a rather philosophical question. Since Saban has a losing record against Auburn and apparently Saban is going to stay around for a while, how is his staying a bad thing?; 6:45 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 6:46 PM

The link works if you right-click it by the way, but it's not worth reading. Another "writer" drooling on Saban.

I'm more into the first two, but I started pulling for Auburn back in college to have a team in the West.

I hate Saban, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend.; 7:15 PM

Spurrier just connected for me. I grew up in Alabama hating the Crimson Idiots but never was a huge Auburn fan (except those special Saturdays).

When Spurrier came home, it was awesome.

Enough reminiscing.; 7:40 PM

Monica said...: Tight and right is outta sight.

I have Gator grads/fans in my family. My fave Facebook post from one of them was, "Superman wears Tim Tebow Underoos."; 8:07 PM

Seanzie said...: Monica, I too have family ties to the University of Florida. They are all good people and most humble...after the most recent championship one of them remarked to me...now if only we could beat Auburn...I found that to be in good taste.; 8:09 PM
Monica said...: Norm you like tights and tutu's and such.

Sean - My family are most obnoxious about it. Although the last couple of years they have toned it down with regard to Auburn. One of them is now back in school there in the Accounting PhD program.; 8:11 PM
wartiger said...: I don't really feel any hate for Gators either...They represent the SEC well so far...we'll see after Tebow leave...Oh yeah and they haven't beat us in a coupla years too..that might have something to do with it...; 8:13 PM

Norm said...: Mon - did you not recognize "Rappers Delight"?; 8:19 PM
Monica said...: Why do you hate ND? Why do you hate UT?

Only after looking into my eyes for 3 weeks did my Mother finally believe me when I said I do not hate Saban.; 8:20 PM
Seanzie said...: Anyone ever take a Meyer Briggs personality test before? Stuff like that fascinates me.; 8:21 PM
Seanzie said...: Now now Monica, HATE is a strong word...can't stand is completely different. I can't stand UT fans because, well, if you've been around any for any extended period of time you know why.; 8:24 PM
wartiger said...: UT- hmmmm..well I wouldn't call it hate but I like seeing them lose..I think it's the fans I've met..they remind me of bammers..

ND- I can't stand all the unwarranted attention they get (jealously I suppose)..and the fact that they won't join a conference..just irks me...; 8:24 PM
Monica said...: No Norm. I realize it leave me out of the kool kids klub, BUT

I nevah get y'alls movie reference or lyrics. If you played me a clip or hummed a few bars, I'd be all over it. Otherwise, I'm lost.; 8:25 PM

wartiger said...: no worries Mon...night; 8:31 PM
Seanzie said...: Monica, do you have linkage for said test?; 8:32 PM

Seanzie said...: Whoa 500 questions eh? That's a little of out of my league.; 8:37 PM

Seanzie said...: I bet it is after 500 questions, I'm sure that some of those are in there just to test your sanity.; 8:40 PM

Anonymous said...: To answer the question from earlier, I like the cocktail party in Jacksonville (or another neutral site), but it's fine if they decide to bounce it back and forth.

Not that it'll help Georgia as of late. Talk about domination.; 10:08 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i don't expect a sweep.; 10:08 PM
Jet said...: AS far as the Game formerly known as the WLCP, it looks like a true 50-50 split in Jacksonville. The Iron Bowl never was.

I'm games on campus, but I'm a traditionalist too. If they want to keep in Jax, that's cool.

But there's not many occasions when I want to surrender a home game to play at a neutral site.; 10:11 PM

Anonymous said...: Without reading the article, I would definitely go with the former, but that's just me.; 7:02 AM
Jet said...: Ehyou ...

Congrats on the anniversary.

As for the "loved" coach, he doesn't exist anymore. In this ADDesque society, we run hot and cold on coaches, presidents, and, unfortunately on spouses and other truly important people in our lives.

Maybe not all of us, but generally it's true.

It's about Ws and Ls, and more importantly it's about championships. It's about what we want when we want it.

Luv is the exception, not the rule.; 7:27 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Well, I'm finally in after my 2 hour comute this morning. Yeah for me.

As for which type coach to have, I will take the one with Championships. We had the other version in our last coach.; 7:29 AM
Anonymous said...: Agreed, Eddie.

Look at the coaches in the SEC with a NC ring:
Meyer
Miles
Spurrier
Satan

All of them are son of a guns in one way or another.; 7:31 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Multi-million dollar contracts have changed everything about coaching and the type of individual you are formed to be once getting paid the big bucks in my opinion.

With the huge contract, comes huge pressure and expections. You only get a short window to prove yourself or you will be gone. Coaches today are definitely more guarded and not very personable to outsiders, including us fans, unless they have to be. Meyer, Miles and Saban may be dicks and big jerks, but they sure know how to sweet talk to a recruit, so there is some personality there that we do not get to see.

I would argue that "back in the day", winning championships was great, but not required to be a successful and sometimes legendary coach and I believe it has a direct relationship to pay.

Just my 2 cents.; 7:38 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: eddie - I haven't missed metro ATL for a nanosecond, though I would prefer a 2.5 hour drive to AU rather than an 8+ hour drive.; 7:50 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Auburn is less than 2 hours from my house with no traffic in my way. Maybe I should look for a job there :)...maybe I should move there :)!!!!! One day...One day.; 7:54 AM
Ephemeral said...: I'm with Eddie on the coaching issue. The more money is paid, the more unreasonable expectations become.

I long for the "back in the day," when it was less of a business.; 7:57 AM

1) Just heard part of a pretty good interview with Tubs on "The Opening Drive" here in B'ham. You can probably find it on the WJOX website if you're interested.
2) I heard via a semi-reputable source (my brother) that the Govnuh just signed the gourmet beer bill. I hope that's correct!
3) Okay, one more tidbit. It seems to me that UF fans are actually more tolerable now than back when UF wasn't very good. When their fans came to AU back in the '80's, there used to be fights galore.; 10:14 AM

Doomed to die by lethal oral injection by those who told you they were there to "free" them.

Harrison said...: it doesn't include container size though, so many of those beers come in 22oz bottles which won't be available.
that's for next year's senate i guess.; 10:28 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Jet - I will feel no guilt when murdering the recently freed hops. By the way, I guess that organization will keep going, as there is still this stupid law on the books:

The Container Size Restriction

The container size limit appears once in The Code of Alabama, in §28-3A-23(g), addressing the regulation of licenses for selling alcohol. That section contains the following rule controlling retailers licensed by the state to sell alcohol:

"All beer, except draft or keg beer, sold by retailers must be sold or dispensed in bottles, cans or other containers not to exceed one pint or 16 ounces."

Alabama is the only state in the country with this peculiar restriction.; 10:31 AM

Harrison said...: i still am making one last trip to Columbus tomorrow for old times sake, and the holiday weekend; 10:35 AM

Norm said...: Harrison - I unfortunately have actually witnessed a suicide. I recommend avoiding it if you can. I didn't have the luxury of making a choice, I happened to be looking out the wrong window at the wrong time apparently.; 10:41 AM
Anonymous said...: Yikes, Norm, that's awful. I'm sure that's an image that will haunt you for a LONG time.; 10:43 AM
Harrison said...: i imagine that was not a sight you soon forget.; 10:43 AM
Jet said...: Not to make light ... OK, to make light ... 87,000 saw a suicide when Bruce Arians called on Fat Freddy to throw the pirouette swing pass in 1997.; 10:48 AM
Jet said...: Make it flip, Daddy.; 10:50 AM
