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.

    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...

  44. 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?

    I should adjust this a bit. I became a Florida fan with Steve Spurrier and have remained through Ron The Mistake Zook and now Urban Legend.

    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.

  82. 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.

  83. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  84. 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...

    ReplyDelete
  96. 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...

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

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  133. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Anonymous7:31 AM

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  135. 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.

  166. Jet, I read your story on the blog. Classic.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Thanks, H.

    I sometimes think a 200 yard radius around my house in Wetumpka was like an alternate universe.

    Harrison, that's not nearly as good a story as Jet's.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I didn't say it was, plus Jet uses the English language way better than I. I also don't want to type out the whole story

  171. Dang, I missed Sensi on the air. Why didn't someone call me?

    Jet, do you have aspirations to write a book?

    ReplyDelete
  174. That requires patience, discipline, and talent -- of which I lack in all three areas.

  175. Couple of tidbits:
    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.

  177. For you beer nerds out there (like me). Gov Riley approved the "free the hops" bill this morning!!

    ReplyDelete
  178. Thanks Sensi. I'm going to listen in a few minutes when I get a chance.

    ReplyDelete
  179. i heard it true too Scott. Free the hops.com says it is done

  180. Other Beer Subjects....I can finally "legally" buy Fat Tire here in Georgia. Yippee. Unfortunately, it's only in 22oz bottles, but I will roll with the punches.

    ReplyDelete
  181. I was hoping you would confirm that Harrison!

    Jet, I don't know about the first two, but you definitely have talent. I also know that if you ever did have aspirations, all the Hotties would buy it!

  184. "Free the Hops" -- the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the people of Alabama. The Hops haven't been freed. In reality, they are doomed. Doomed to die by lethal oral injection by those who told you they were there to "free" them. This is no more than state-sanctioned murder of innocent Hops, legalized by a travishamockery of a bill that was sold to the public as a way to "Free the Hops."

    A sad day in Alabama.

  185. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  186. 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.

  187. Harrison, we are definitely focused on the same thing this morning. Good thing a holiday weekend is coming up!

    ReplyDelete
  188. you can buy it by the gallon in Shorter

    ReplyDelete
  189. I know Scott. You being in Bham you should have fatser access to "real beer". i think it may take Auburn a little longer to start getting some

    ReplyDelete
  190. i still am making one last trip to Columbus tomorrow for old times sake, and the holiday weekend

    Harrison, you'll just have to make a road trip!

  192. 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.

  195. 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.
