Furlough, Pt. II: Day Six (Friday)

Hey everyone. Thursday was the craziest weather day I've seen during my 10-year stay in Montgomery. We received 10+ inches of rain in less than six hours. Streets flooded. Cars floating away. Houses wet.

It sucked.

I hope you Gumpians fared reasonably well. Still can't believe how that whole thing went down. The rain wouldn't stop!

Auburn? I'll do my best to recap on Sunday and into next week. I'm on a mandated, unpaid furlough and I can't work. This blog entry was pre-loaded last weekend.

Yes, I correctly predicted flash food conditions six days in advance. Rich Thomas had better watch his back.

Dear Leader said...: Great job on the flood prediction.. any thoughts on the powerball numbers you would like to share??; 9:02 AM
j-z said...: From the last thread...
A few more thoughts on the Chizik speech last night...

There was a little coach speak going on, but on the whole, I think Chizik gets what Auburn is about, both on a football level and on a "Auburn means something special, we're different" level. I fully expect to see a very motivated team next fall. We'll still be a 7-8 win ball team, but there will be no question that the team left everything out on the field after every game. So we've got that going for us...

He also commented on sitting down with the players one on one and explaining to them what standards they were going to be held to both on and off the field, and that the standard would not be lowered to meet the players, the player would have to rise to the standard. Coach said some players didn't buy into that, and they aren't there any longer. Any ideas who he was talking about?; 9:09 AM

I wish he would come back and suffer a Joe Theisman so he would go away and chill with his $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in Mississippi.; 10:03 AM

wartiger said...: I uses to admire Farve but now he's just a joke..somebody said he's just out to stick it to Green Bay..what a goob..go away!!! for of all that is good and holy..GO AWAY!!; 10:06 AM
wartiger said...: my sentiments exactly eddie; 10:06 AM
michael said...: In Favre's defense: how many newspaper articles has he written, and how many sportscenter pieces has he produced? The guy is having a hard time letting go, which is understandable. I would also have a hard time retiring at age 40. He can do whatever he wants to for all I care. Don't blame Favre, blame the people obsessed with him for this over-coverage.; 10:21 AM
Unknown said...: J-z, my guess as to who Chiz was talking about that is no longer around includes Chris Slaughter, Trey Blackmon, and a reserve offensive linemen or two.

To me, it isn't something to get upset about. When a new coaching staff arrives, I would prefer for the to get rid of any players that don't buy into the new way of doing things, and it doesn't really matter how many of those there are. If only 20 players remain, that is fine, just make sure they are 20 that buy into the program.; 10:23 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: I'm kind of tired of hearing about Favre, too, but I could still enjoy watching him play, unlike when some other players held on too long. He still has a decent amount of ability left. There's still the chance to see a great play or a train wreck.; 10:26 AM
Unknown said...: It is about time for Favre to move on to greener pastures. He should find a different interest, like coaching or something. Hey, maybe he could find an institure to investigate the spelling of his name and see if there is a cure that will allow the v to pass the r.; 10:28 AM
michael said...: I understand where you are coming from, but I would be pretty annoyed if people told me it was time to retire and I didn't think so. I don't buy into the whole "it will screw up his legacy" crap. Show me one instance of a person whose legacy was screwed up by holding on too long? Athletes do it all the time, no big whoop.; 10:33 AM

Some people don't want to see their hero not perform at an elite level or get humiliated, so they want them to quit before that happens. Well, for many competitors, it takes being humiliated a few times before they can be at peace with quitting. Let it happen and don't complain.; 10:42 AM

JZ just simply THANKS.; 10:59 AM
Jet said...: J-Z ...

You offered this nugget within a sentence, "... I think Chizik gets what Auburn is about, both on a football level and on a 'Auburn means something special, we're different' level."

That, for all the screaming last December, is why he's here. He gets it. He gets us. He gets the good, the bad and the ugly and embraces it all.

No one else who interviewed for the job "got it," and to me that's an important component for whomever our coach will be.

I thought, of course, it would be Muschamp, who also "gets it," but that didn't happen -- maybe it could have, maybe it never would have. That doesn't really matter now.

I love everything I've seen from our coach to this point. He made his staff the priority -- taking less money to pay more to the troops and to Troop. He's been innovative without losing our identity or our dignity.

Does this translate into wins? The fact is, if we have a winning season, I'll be pleased. But I see his vision. It meshes nicely with mine -- not that matters to anyone other than me. I think he's got a good chance to be much more than a 5-19 coach. A whole lot more.; 11:12 AM
j-z said...: Another nugget...I don't know if any of you guys have ever been in the same room with CGC, but he has the most intense gaze of any man I have ever laid eyes on. Take the 1000 yard stare of an experienced army sniper and multiply it by 10. I don't know if he gets that from his dad or where, but he's got it.

No doubt in my mind that he's the first coach at AU since one Patrick Fain Dye with this kind of mental toughness and determination.

(And I fully expect a good representation from the Hotties at the AAC meeting on May 28th at the Legends. Trooper Taylor is scheduled to speak there.); 11:18 AM

when I lived in W-S (late 60s, again in early 80s) I ate BBQ at Mr. Barbecue on Peters Creek Pkwy. It was good, but not outstanding. There are a lot of great BBQ places in this state, but the closest to me now is 35 miles away. None of the local BBQ joints are worthy.; 11:38 AM

I sent email to Tommy Calton about 2 years ago, he told me to contact Marc Phillips. Marc never replied to my spam...er my email.

Jet said...: Scott ...

i was racking my brain for the name of Baghdad, as on one particular night I somehow ended up on stage with them.; 2:58 PM
Norm said...: Baghdad does evoke a very hazy recollection. I seem to recall they weren't quite as big/popular as some of the others making the circuit along the lines of Eli, White Animals, Poonanny (more of a frat house party band I think), etc.; 2:59 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Baghdad had the black guy who would come running out and take over as lead singer about midway through one of their sets. He sang Hendrix tunes, among others. Everybody would go nuts when he came out.; 3:00 PM
Norm said...: I absolutely wound up on stage w/Poonanny singing the aformentioned "Be Young, Be Foolish" song. I don't recall that going over too well and it had nothing to do with my singing ability or lack thereof.; 3:01 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: White Animals - wow. Yeah, they were big when I was there.; 3:01 PM
Jet said...: I believe the Bagdad singer was Bo Scott.

White Animals had a part in the play of my first and last blind date.; 3:04 PM

I never did social engagements, GaTiger.; 3:13 PM
j-z said...: Damn...I had forgotten all about PooNanny, and Eli for that matter. I was force fed many many shots of tequila by whatever their midget lead singers name was. Let's see...there was also Klass...(with a capital K), and a host of other bands whose name I can't remember for some reason.; 3:15 PM
Jet said...: Good times.

I think.; 3:17 PM
Norm said...: Eli lead singer was "Cookie" the Billy Idol wannabe. Klass I remember rather well, for a band made up largely of rich jocks they turned out to be a pretty decent band. And boy could they move some furniture...; 3:21 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I still have a "Rock with Klass" button! Weren't the Bonnevilles and Mr. Resistor also somewhere in the same time frame? I went back to visit my brother at AU some in the early 90's, so I could be confused. Also, Vova Nova started playing there in the late 80's, I think.; 3:25 PM

Scott Chocolate said...: Okay, j-z, now you've come up with one I don't remember...Ebb Arnold? One last bit of AU 80's nostalgia, then I'll give it up. I remember Dickey Betts playing at the TKE house and really being bummed because I was going to be out of town. I always wondered what it cost them to get him. I think it was during one of his many splits with the Allman Bros., so he probably wasn't very much in demand.

Scott Chocolate said...: Okay. I said I was done reminiscing, but Aubie brought up Jason & the Scorchers. I won one of their albums from WEGL by knowing Jason's last name.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jet, if you insist, I'll go have a bowl right now. The timing is right, Molly dog is asleep so I won't have to share.; 9:51 PM
cincytiger said...: Anyone remember Darvo's burgers? I loved those burgers!; 9:52 PM
Jet said...: Hope you catch you limit, Hoopie.

CincyT ...

Did you go to HS here? Where/when did you graduate?; 9:53 PM
cincytiger said...: Nope, went to Bradshaw in Florence, graduated in '77.; 9:54 PM
Jet said...: THT ...

I insist.; 9:54 PM
cincytiger said...: Bradshaw no longer exists, so sad. Merged with our rival Coffee HS and became Florence City High School a few years ago.; 9:55 PM
Monica said...: Hoopie was a party dawg. I knew it.; 9:56 PM
Jet said...: How sad ... that's what happened in Gadsden, which led to consolidation of efforts by FSJ's nefarious friends in the REC.; 9:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, Molly dog woke up, so she got a little bowl of ice cream; 10:02 PM
Jet said...: THT ...

YOu're a good doggie dad.; 10:05 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: should I say good night or good morning, Hotties?; 2:16 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: RISE AND SHINE! It's Saturday!!! I like getting up early on Saturday so I can enjoy not having to go to work! Plus it gives me more time to consciously HATE UA-T!

WARRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!!!!; 6:16 AM
Jet said...: THT ...

You, sir, are on fire.; 7:20 AM
cincytiger said...: THT,
You go to sleep at 2:16 am and get up at 6:16 am? Do you sleep? I am off to work out and then to do dreaded yard work. Y'all have fun today!; 7:52 AM
Jet said...: I remember the 4 hour plan ... that's not a part of any plan now.; 8:00 AM
Jet said...: Monica ...

How about this?

We yearn for the day when the poobahs in Indianapolis terminate their tolerance of the malfeasance in Gadsden and ultimately rise up to eradicate this nefarious cabal, whose nom de guerre is the Red Elephant Club.; 8:08 AM
Monica said...: Jet - That was not a post. That was art. I worship you.; 8:18 AM
NoVaTiger said...: Good Morning Hotties!

It's a gorgeous day in the Nation's Capital. I've been for about a 15 mile bike ride along the Potomac and I'm on my balcony consuming an omelet. It looks like a good day.; 8:29 AM
Jet said...: NoVa ...

Must say I'm jealous.; 8:31 AM
cincytiger said...: NoVa,
That sounds fabulous. Sure beats the 30 min core workout I just did. I wish workouts came in a pill.; 8:33 AM
Jet said...: I had a piece of cheese toast. At least the end of The Waterboy was on to enjoy.; 8:35 AM
NoVaTiger said...: Bike trails around here are like expressways. Few road crossings and slowpokes (joggers) in the passing lanes.

My new apartment has a view of the Washington Monument and about 2/3 of the Mall. That was a big factor in choosing it.; 8:39 AM
NoVaTiger said...: Off to check out some used scuba gear. Talk to you later.; 8:45 AM
Jet said...: NoVa ...

That's pretty cool. OK, it's way cool. Despite my perpetual disappointment with the shenanigans in D.C., the sites still stir my soul.; 8:46 AM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: 10:00 tee time for me. it's an old public course that, way back, was the site of the tucson national tourney.; 8:56 AM
Monica said...: Nova!!! Your new place sounds awesome! I want some pictures of the view.; 9:18 AM
Monica said...: Nova - Do you have a new email address yet?; 9:18 AM

digger4au said...: NoVatiger glad to see you got back home safe.
Good morning to all have a great weekend.
Washington is a beautiful city regardless of what goes on in the politcal arena.; 9:29 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Mornin' again, Hotties. Just returned home from a bunch of errands. NoVa sounds like you're having a GREAT morning.

Yes, cincy, I sleep. But since I don't wake up rested, sleep isn't all that useful.

AU1 - this series is over with Gonchar out, thanks to slime mold Ovechkin. Pens weren't even in the playoffs with Gonchar out the first 50+ games of the season.; 9:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: MrsTHT and I will be in D.C. next week. LOTS of old maps there!; 9:34 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: It don't matter if I get a little tired.
I'll sleep when I'm dead.
