Furlough, Pt. II: Day Four (Wednesday)

Hey everyone. Here we are on Wednesday, which means I'm about half-way through my unpaid furlough. Working in the newspaper business isn't exactly the most comfortable sector these days, but I like what I do and I love the HABOTN.

Just re-affirming my commitment to you.

Since this post was created before my furlough, I cannot provide any specifics about 80s Music or Auburn Beat Writer Trivia Quizzes I'm planning to upload to Facebook. That may or may not have happened. If you have the means to check those, though, I'd highly recommend it. They're (going to be) so choice.

Fight the power, damn the man, etc.

Anonymous said...: Scout has updated the prospects info on their free site. We have now finally offered to a few more top rated OL.

I also noticed that we have a great many offers extended for this time of year. I know this is a growing trend and haven't looked to see if the other teams are offering this early also, but wonder how we compare with the others. UGA has been offering early for years.

We have offered to many top recruits, I hope the recruit character assessment efforts are keeping up with the offer efforts.; 10:10 AM
Criminal Type said...: So you're saying Andy Mix beat up Tiffin?; 10:11 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jet - OJ was serving you breakfast? Was he wearing gloves, or a glove? I hope you got his autograph.

This is at the corner of Whortenbend road and Hiway 77. 1 mile from my house. They found her yesterday at about 3:50 PM. My grand kids bus passed by there at 3:05PM.; 10:26 AM

digger4au said...: I heard he was beatup by a longsnapper; 10:52 AM
FSJ said...: THT....we have been practicing pretty hard for our contest on the 15th.

I may be sick of BBQ by then.

Then only thing I am not going to like is that these contests prefer sweet sauces and I am more of a thin spicy sauce guy.; 10:53 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: gatiger - you got that right. I wasn't about to let it go to waste. For any germophobes out there, I subsequently wiped the desk with that foamy sanitizer stuff.; 11:59 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou - I agree. I love maps because they are mostly pictures that tell history. Since I can't read, I need pictures.; 12:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou - just a hobby. I didn't even know antique maps existed until 9 years ago. I'm nuts about them. Of course, I'm just plain nuts, too.; 12:29 PM

Seanzie said...: ok so even the gaming world is bagging on Auburn. From Gamespot regarding upcoming 2010 NCAA Football: Let's say you've had a falling out with your favorite college football team. Not to name names here, but hypothetically speaking, let's just say your team, which in recent seasons had an incredible run near the top of its conference, spent the past year lingering in futility, with a faltering offense that barely managed to find first downs, much less the end zone. Your favorite team lost to its archrival in an embarrassing shutout and, in the offseason, fired its longtime coach in favor of an unproven and unpopular choice.

Clearly things aren't going well for you and your team. But if you're an Auburn Tigers fan--oops, we said we wouldn't name names here--what do you do? Well, if you're playing EA Sports' upcoming NCAA Football 10, you just might consider replacing your favorite team with one of your own creation.; 1:34 PM

I said to myself that I did not post that and was confused for a sec.; 1:34 PM

I've said it before. I love everyone thinking we're down. It makes success that much sweeter.

I also find it entertaining when sports game producers totally whiff on how good a team will be.; 1:42 PM
Seanzie said...: I really am not offended or anything, I just think it's silly that a guy doing a sports game preview would choose that as a segue into a create-a-school feature.; 1:48 PM

Jet said...: My card has no title, as not to alert anyone to the fact that I actually do nothing.; 2:31 PM
Anonymous said...: Sean - Do not mistake rooting for the Caps for Baltimore claiming DC.

The Baltimore Skipjacks years ago was the farm team to the Caps so there is some allegiance there. Everything else, completely separate. Baltimore Bullets left Baltimore to become the DC Bullets and ultimately the Wizards. Baltimore was upset about that.

The Colts, even in down years, were the Baltimore Colts..Skins never accepted. And the Orioles were always winners prior to the last decade and never cared about a DC MLB team. Fans that is, owners wanted the DC fans and that is why the Nats are struggling.

That being said, I grew up in Annapolis which is half way between both and used to always go to Caps games. Now I live in Downtown Baltimore by the water.; 2:33 PM

j-z said...: Chocolicious Scott,

In BHM, Costa's has been decent when I've eaten there and Full Moon catered something that I was at last week. It was tasty and the beans kicked a$$. Green Top up near Adamsville is good too, but they moved to a new building, so that can adversely affect a bbq joint.

I know this comes too late for lunch today, but maybe it will help next time.; 3:35 PM

Scott Chocolate said...: j-z, thanks. Not a fan of Full Moon, which is unfortunate, as there is one right around the corner from me. I do agree that their beans are pretty good, though. I'll have to try Costa's. I mentioned Miss Myra's in Cahaba Heights before. Not sure I've ever had their pork, so maybe I should try that, too. I always get sucked in by the chicken - awesome, and comes with the best white sauce in the world!; 3:49 PM

digger4au said...: Are all puppets bammmes or all bammmmers puppets?; 4:07 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: White sauce is pretty much for BBQ chicken only. Okay, good on hushpuppies, too. I'm not sure on all the ingredients, but has to have vinegar, mayo, and pepper in there. Definitely not yankee, though. Miss Myra's has southern BBQ written all over it, unfortunately all the way down to the Bear Bryant posters all over the dilapidated walls. Greenbrier outside of Huntsville has a version of white sauce, too. Neither their chicken nor their pork is great, but they have good hushpuppies. I'll leave it to someone else to try puppets with white sauce.; 4:08 PM
