Hey everyone. Anthony Gulley, an Auburn football signee, helped Brantley High win the 1A state championship today.
Afterward, he spoke briefly with the HABOTN about his football pursuits.
On what he's been doing since signing with Auburn in February: "It's been all about baseball and academics. I tried to spend a few months no thinking much about football and just enjoying my senior year."
On his academic situation: I'm in good shape. I got As and Bs in all my classes, so I'll be at Auburn this summer. I'm reporting on June 21."
On what he'll be doing between now and then: "Working out and running."On what his workouts will include: "They sent me a workout schedule. It has all the things they think I need. It's stuff like Olympic lifts and power cleans. It's more about running. I'll be doing a whole lot of running."
On his expectations this fall: My expectations? To be part of a great program that's getting better. This offense needs speed. I'm pretty fast now and I'll be faster when I report. I just want to have a chance to play."
War Eagle and Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Mr. Gulley and we are excited that you have a great work ethic to bring to Auburn!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that- gotta love the attitude he is bringing.
ReplyDeleteJay G....didn't want to be internet stalker last night when you were pounding the nachos - so what is protocal....um , "hi mr. tate, I'm a big fan of your blog" or just move on by and give a little man nod?!?
Anyone else think the dirt stain on his shirt resembles "Wilson" the volleyball from Castaway??
ReplyDeleteWilson!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnybody up for a round of Tiger Woods on the Wii this evening?
ReplyDeleteI like his attitude. He seems like a 'take care of business' type of guy. Doesn't sound selfish, sounds like he wants to be part of a team and help anyway he can. That is what AU needs. And experienced leadership on the field. ... And linemen... And linebackers.... And to find a reliable QB... And... That's all I can think of right now.
ReplyDeleteThey copied JGT's scholly list on Track Em Tigers today.
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh, Mr. Rome.
ReplyDeleteWe need to seen in the law firm of (Michael) Dewey, (Harrison) Cheatham, and (Monica) Howe to get them to cease and desist.
ReplyDeleteJim, stop by and say hello.
ReplyDeleteI was eating with The Front Rims, so it could have been a HABOTN convention of sorts.
I want to be in charge of all briefs.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised?
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I expected that....
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why dude at WarDamnBlog.com can gank my stuff without a link. It's really that difficult?
ReplyDeleteWhen newspapers are gone and the media world is populated by fan sites and TV, you're going to hate it. Book it.
JGT...
ReplyDeleteYou're so right. Folks don't know what proper protocol or etiquette is. And when they do something inappropriate, there's no reprocussions.
What a ganker!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great kid. Looking forward to watching him play this season! War Damn Jay G!!
ReplyDeleteWhy haven't I been invited to the HABOTN Convention of sorts?
ReplyDeletegankers suck
ReplyDelete3 in a row Monica! Get some of that!
ReplyDeletebecause they're intimidated by your guns
ReplyDeleteThey should welcome the guns with open arms!
ReplyDeleteyeah yeah yeah
ReplyDeletebut is it sustainable?
I understand that Michelle, Tomika and Tonya want to ride the train. Can anyone else confirm this?
ReplyDeleteIt could be...
ReplyDeleteRide out now Brother Jet!
ReplyDeleteeclectic = Jet
ReplyDeleteone!!!
ReplyDeleteDOH!
so close, todd
ReplyDeleteahhhh!
ReplyDeleteCrank it up, Michael.
ReplyDeleteCan't crank. Gotta go. Just thought I would scream to say hello.
ReplyDeleteJay G - I will stop by next time.
ReplyDeleteHow about we get a new shirt HABOTN hates Gankers!
Or Hotties hate Gankers
ReplyDeleteHABOTN T-shirt idea:
ReplyDeleteYou can spank me, but you can't gank me
Gank is a great word.
ReplyDeleteI taught The Daughter about skeech the other day, too.
The ganker in question is over at trackemtigers.com.
ReplyDeleteI misidentified that website earlier.
dandbradio.com ganked it too but at least they credited you Jay..that was yesterday tho...
ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeleteThe guy at Trackemtigers did at least say he stole it from Jay Tate. So he didn't totally take credit for it.
DandB can gank whatever they like. They were pimping the HABOTN long before anyone else.
ReplyDeletegank, pimping etc....what is going on did I make a wrong turn?
ReplyDeleteis this bambiland?
For those who had to work today
ReplyDeletethe Braves won an aftrnoon game 8-7 in the 12th inning.
fo schizzle!
ReplyDeleteglad to hear you say that Jay..I love those guys!!
ReplyDeletedandb are the reason that I am even a member of this fine establishment..so you wanna blame somebody..blame them...
ReplyDeleteBTW Jay-what's skeech?
ReplyDeleteSteal.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm at the Briarwood-Harselle playoff game. MSU baseball coach John Cohen is here.
ReplyDeleteHe has signed both starting pitchers tonight. He also has signed Hartselle's No. 2 pitcher.
And this is the time when I wonder: I guess Auburn didn't need those arms.
When people steal stuff, their offense and email address should be published to the hotties. Not that there should be any formal directive with what to do with that info, but I'm pretty sure an angry mob could destroy an email server.
ReplyDeletePF ...
ReplyDeleteGood to see you in the house ... particularly advocating an email carpet bombing.
PF & Jet - I have no comment on whether or not I've ever participated in such an activity against a single individual who may or may not have crossed me.
ReplyDeleteI knew it was you.
ReplyDeleteMon - totally unrelated to the previous comment but, check your email.
ReplyDeleteCareful, the 'Net Police is in da house.
ReplyDeleteJet - you too.
ReplyDeleteUh ... thanks?
ReplyDeleteNorm, I want to see you in chaps for your next race. Just chaps.
ReplyDeleteMONICA!!!!
ReplyDeleteCRAP!
DON'T EVAH DO THAT AGIN!
EVAH!
Any of you kids paying attention to the Coarch Urban Meyers smack down (presumably) of ex-Gators QB Shane Matthews.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't gladuate Shane on his opinionization.
Go Gator.
If someone needs a HABOTN smack-down then I will be on them like a duck on a junebug.
ReplyDeleteehyou ...
ReplyDeleteI think you need to call Monica to the office.
I don't even know gatiger, yet I now have a vivid mental image of him....thanks Mon.
ReplyDeletejet....
ReplyDeleteI'm conflicted. I want to kick some a$$, yet I'm wary of the goings-on in the office.
Corrine Brown never fails to amuse me.
ReplyDeletedaaaaaaa-da-da-da
Go Gator
daaaaaaa-da-da-da
Go Gator
If Alvin Holmes and Corrine Brown produced offspring, would it take over the world?
ReplyDeleteAfter conjuring up that mental image of GaTiger/Norm, Monica needs a dose of what she prescribes in the office.
ReplyDeleteehyou ...
ReplyDeleteShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Jet, I don't see it happening, but if Meyer ever struggles at UF, the UF faithful would probably turn on him quickly. Much like Saban, he treats others as if they were beneath him. People will overlook it while the wins are coming, but a few losses in the right games would remind everyone of how he treated people around the program. I would love to see Meyer and Nikki face an angry mob of (formerly)adoring fans.
ReplyDeleteshh Jet - our office business is top secret
ReplyDeleteMon - while I would have absolutely no objection to doing that very thing, I'm just not sure Mrs. Gatiger would allow it outside of the house. That's a much loved getup for one of our weekly "game nights".
ReplyDeletegame night between you and Mrs. Gatiger?
ReplyDeleteWell yeah, what'd you think I meant? Doesn't everyone do that?
ReplyDeleteA little healthy competition is good.
ReplyDeleteI win every time, though.
I don't believe you. Send me video.
ReplyDeleteGame night? What the ...?
ReplyDeleteEven when I lose, I win.
ReplyDeleteMon - On that, I can say with absolute certainty that the Mrs would not allow distribution of any video. The last time I did that an unscrupulous person somehow got it and it went into an almost mass distribution. That cost me alot of money to get that cleared up. Boy, good thing her parents don't have a computer. That could have made for an awkward Thanksgiving since the particular video just happened to involve Pilgrim and Indian.
ReplyDeleteehyou - There are no losers on "game night".
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jay G. Hope those furlough days are behind you!
ReplyDeleteJet, did you know Norm was so freaky deaky?
ReplyDeleteActually, I did.
ReplyDeleteHe wore the chaps to our senior prom -- with his date.
I was NOT his date. Despite what he might tell you.
You can't have chaps without spurs.
ReplyDeleteok Hotties...ya'll are losing me now..I bid you all a good night..WAR EAGLE!!
ReplyDeleteLater Wartiger, the original JGT birthday well-wisher.
ReplyDeleteAlright, here it is for all to "enjoy"

ReplyDeletegoodnight Wartiger
This is my "calling you to the office" pic.
ReplyDeletejet...
ReplyDeleteThere had to have been Boone's Farm and many, many tears involved in that night.
I recall that look.
ReplyDeleteTickle Pink
ReplyDeleteJet - you forgot to mention the Limo.
ReplyDeleteehyou - it was a couple of years later before I discovered Boone's Farm and Kickin' Chicken for a thrifty night with another friend Jet and I share.
Boone's Farm & Kickin' Chicken....that's a date if I've ever seen one.
ReplyDeleteGaTiger ... hadn't forgotten, just didn't mention.
ReplyDeleteI make no further comment in order to protect the guilty.
(303): Yeh xou jao i ama wa7tdud !!
ReplyDelete(832): Oh my god. its not even twelve thirty and you are useless.
It's been fun Hotties but I'm going to bed. It's well past my bedtime and 5am and 7.5 miles await me. So, as the massive local area population of south of the border types say, 'hasty banana'. Or something like that.
ReplyDeleteWhatever gatiger does, i'm right behind him. Later all.
ReplyDeleteNot too close, ehyou, he's wearin' chaps.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA Now THAT was funny, Jet.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight Hotties
LOST...WTF?
ReplyDeleteDon't spoil the LOST stuff.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it yet!
Lost spoiler.
ReplyDeletethere was a plane crash. weird stuff ensues.
am i the only one hankerin' for another AU hummer?
ReplyDeleteand happy bd jgt.
ReplyDeleteChip ...
ReplyDeleteI assure you that you're not alone in desiring a return of the Hummer.
Just stopping by to let everyone know....I'm still alive. Don't count me out just yet!
ReplyDeleteHappy BDay, Jay! Hope you had one that tops all others.
ReplyDeleteI for one wish the hummer would make an appearance every day.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThe Hummer and Chiz are the shizz!
ReplyDeleteJim, I think the proper approach to jay is to run up and beg him for an autograph:)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I am going to buy me a hummer next year. I am not sure why, but they seem useful. Besides, I can add flags and magnetic stickers and pretend to be an Auburn coach. Also, hummer is the coolest nickname for any vehicle known by man.
ReplyDeleteI think buying Hummers is only legal in Vegas.

ReplyDeleteLost: OMG
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Hotties, and Happy Friday Eve!!
ReplyDeleteFor 14 years, it's generally been my job to wake up the kids for school.
ReplyDeleteFor the last time, I walked into ElTurbo's room to tell him it was time to get up to go to school.
Bro Jet,
ReplyDeleteKind of sad, but kind of exciting, too. I thought my life would be so sad when my kids left for college, but I am finding this empty nest is pretty fun. See Norm's comment on "games night". ;)
Morning Hotties - I second Luv's emotion.
ReplyDeleteJet - did you commemorate this momentous event in any special way?
Well I see Cincy has caught up on last night's discussion.
ReplyDeleteJet...
ReplyDeleteMan, that's tough. Mine is graduating first grade today and that makes me sad. I can't imagine what it'll be like when I'm in your shoes.
Good morning Hotties, Happy Almost-Friday. I still haven't ever watched Lost. I fee like I'm missing out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Norm, didn't have time to read last night - it was games night around here. Haven't tried your chaps idea though, wonder how Tom would like that? hmmmm
ReplyDeleteDid you check out the link which led to the chaps discussion freefall?
ReplyDeleteAnything special for the final wake-up?
ReplyDeleteI added an extra Happy Gilmore touch for him in honor of one his favorite movies.
"Time to wake up ... JACK@$$!"
"Games Night" -- definitely a suggestion for Mrs. Jet.
ReplyDeletegatiger...
ReplyDeleteResultant to clicking on said link my home computer is now gay. Thanks a lot.
Made the "Games Night" suggestion to Mrs. Jet.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Jet said, "Next Friday, I'm gonna pin the tail on the donkey."
Should I be concerned?
Norm,
ReplyDeleteThat made me throw up in my mouth a little. My Tom would look much better than that!
Bro Jet,
ReplyDeleteI would be a little concerned. Could be kind of painful. I don't like pain.
Seanzie, in my opinion, you are missing out. But, you need to start at the very beginning and don't miss an episode. Some you may have to watch more than once.
ReplyDeleteAny of you Hotties ever play golf at Farmlinks?
ReplyDeleteLuv...
ReplyDeleteAre you really watching Lost? I am now officially the most un-cool person around.
1. Never have watched Lost.
ReplyDelete2. Haven't played FarmLinks. Understand it is spectacular. Must advise if you prefer to quaff an adult beverage while playing golf, go somewhere else. They are strictly forbidden at FarmLinks. Not an issue for me, but it is to some.
No, ehyou,
ReplyDeleteI am officially the un-coolest person - I have never seen an episode of Lost, 24 or Friends. Very deprived life. I have, however, seen every episode of Andy Griffith and every old Clint Eastwood movie at least 20 times. (Thanks, hubby)
Truth be told, game night in our house consists of something along the lines of Scrabble. I almost always win.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your gay computer ehyou. As I was viewing it this most recent time on the work computer and my employer is very "accepting", I'm not concerned about my computer turning gay.
Is it August yet? All this talk about games makes me realize how faraway Auburn football is!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone watch "The Tudors"? It is a series on Showtime. We don't get ST, but Direct TV played the premiere of season three. Looked pretty interesting, but didn't know if the whole series was worth watching.
ReplyDeletecincy...
ReplyDeleteAndy Griffith and Clint Eastwood are so "cool" they are off the charts.
Morning HOTTIES!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been M.I.A. for a fews weeks, but i'm back for the summer run!
Andy Griffith is only good in B&W, I refuse to watch those other episodes. I've seen every last one of them countless times. That's a classic which definiltely stands the test of time.
ReplyDeleteehyou, We've been watching Lost since the beginning. We have all the seasons on DVD.
ReplyDeleteMobilz!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you had disappeared.
Countin' on ya to bring us though.
Cincy, The Tudors is a fantastic show if you are into 16th century dramas. Actually it's just a good show period. One of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteJet, not be able to drink alcoholic beverages is not an issue for me. My parents gave me a gift card for Christmas. We're taking the day off on Monday and driving down there.
ReplyDeleteMorning Hotties..hope you all slept well..I sure did...I had to get outta here last night..that chaps discussion was starting to get a little disturbing..especially with that link..you psychos!
ReplyDeleteNever seen an episode of Lost either..big Andy fan tho..haven't watched it in a while..don't even know what "The Tudors" is so haven't seen that either...
I'm thinking 114 days left to the bloody kickoff..geez is it evah gonna get heah!!
I don't mind golf courses that have no-alcohol policies. Unless there's a marshal in the cart with me, I view the policies more as suggestions which can't possibly be directed at me.
ReplyDeletewartiger, how goes it in Mass.?
ReplyDeleteehyou, LOL. That's what those cooler pockets in the golf bag are for, right?
ReplyDeleteAnother great site in the TFLN vein
ReplyDeleteLuv, I had a system in which to store my beer at comfortable temperatures while in my golf back, quite genius actually. But that was when I still had my clubs. I'm currently in the market for new ones.
ReplyDeleteJay, is that site work appropriate?
ReplyDeleteSeanzie, so what was this genius system of yours?
ReplyDeleteTFLN?
ReplyDeleteLuv-going great! thanks for asking..going to a place called Bad Abbotts in Quincy Mass tomorrow night..been checking out the sites this week and job hunting..I love it here..plp really diggin my southern twang so they all wanna hear me talk..
ReplyDeleteIt's work appropriate, yes.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't link to NSFW stuff on a family blog!
wartiger, I'm glad things are going well! :-) Good luck on the job search!
ReplyDeleteLuv, I basically took one of those soft coolers and cut it up and had it sewn into the inside of the big pocket. I then would take two lunchbox ice packs and put them in ziploc baggies, and then I'd just load up the beer. They stayed cold usually to about the 16th hole on the hottest of days.
ReplyDeletegood thinking, Seanzie! I'm sure you could quite a few beers in that pocket!
ReplyDeleteYeah, usually 6 or 8, depending on the day.
ReplyDeleteI hate these ridiculous "causes" that my Facebook friends have joined.
ReplyDelete"I Love My Daughter"?
That's a cause now?
speaking of golf..I watched the players at ponavedra this weekend..Tiger still isn't in full form but he had the ability to put the fear into the leader that day..the german dude totally blew a 5 stroke lead going into the final day by shooting something like a 7 over..
ReplyDeleteI ignore those anyway Jay..I don't love my country either..and I accept being taxed out my arse..
ReplyDeleteThe things Facebook is doing are definitely getting out of hand. It's to the point where it's hard to do anything because there's so much garbage being spammed around.
ReplyDeleteJGT - apparently it is. Since my daughter is quite active on FB and since I'm no dummy, I hit that button. There's also one for sons but the cub's only 2 and doesn't spend any time on the computer so I figure I'm alright there.
ReplyDeleteWell, ElTurbo created a "I'm a fan of ..." page for himself.
ReplyDeleteI will not join.
I'm guilty of joining things. If a friend sends it to me and I agree, I'll join. I just don't send around these things for other's to join, unless it is Mobwars and Football Tycoon. I'm addicted to those games. I know a lot of people play Mafia Wars, but I have never been able to get into that.
ReplyDeleteHABOTN sources are confirming that Chizik will be in Birmingham today.
ReplyDeletewhat's Chizick doing in the ham?
ReplyDeleteI am in the Witness Protection program after testifying against several major Facebook mafiosos.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone say that gay parade was in Calif.? If not where else could you find so many loose nuts in one setting. I did laugh out loud and the article was well done. Game night sounds like fun I can't remeber but I think me and Mrs digger had those.
ReplyDeleteSeanzie said...The things Facebook is doing are definitely getting out of hand. It's to the point where it's hard to do anything because there's so much garbage being spammed around.Just one of the reasons why I don't have a FB account!
ReplyDeleteWhat date does practice start?
ReplyDeleteI just created my first fan page on Facebook. I hope you like it:
ReplyDeleteJet's Facebook Fan Page
Finally something worthy of me becoming a fan of.
ReplyDeleteis there a new thread somewhere i'm missing? where did everyone go? oh yeah, some people have jobs...
ReplyDeleteChizik is attending that golf tournament and visiting some sick kids ... with photographer in tow.
ReplyDelete... just to make sure you know he's visiting sick kids.
ReplyDeletei see where pierson jeep in gadsden is on the list of chrysler closings. i guess the car choices for UA recruits in gadsden are narrowing...
ReplyDeletethe ncaa may shut down crown dodge for them...
I will NOT join a club that would have me as a member or as an honoree.

ReplyDeleteMr. Sensible, I x-rayed a guy yesterday that had one of those "Got Twelve?" t-shirts on. I really had to bite my tongue.
ReplyDeleteLuv ...
ReplyDeleteYou should have immediately ordered a CT scan and an MRI.
Jet, would they have found anything??
ReplyDeleteShe should have ordered a colonoscopy with no anthestesia.
ReplyDeleteBro jet - there's no room for Eltoro?
ReplyDeleteLuv,
ReplyDeleteI believe that calls for a full body cavity search to see if that person has a soul!
Now there's an idea!!!
