Hey everyone. This isn't Auburn-related, but I think you'll find it interesting.Jeremy Jarmon, a senior-to-be at Kentucky, had his amateur status stripped by the NCAA Friday for testing positive for a banned substance. The school held a press conference at 9 a.m. CDT Saturday to announce the NCAA's decision.
Jarmon took a supplement that hadn't been approved by UK. These players are instructed very clearly to not put anything in their bodies without the staff's approval, so Jarmon was swimming without a lifeguard and he knew it. Poor decision, no doubt, but I feel bad for the kid.
John Clay of the Lexington Herald-Leader liveblogged the press conference.
His two most important posts:
- Says he got a vitamin at a health food store. Said a supplement was recommended. He wanted only to purchase a vitamin. Said he also changed his protein shake from what UK provided.
- Says he told UK what he was taking, but it was too late.
1 less day til august
ReplyDeleteWhoa...sucks.
ReplyDeleteGood morning JGT - I put some banned Fudge Sticks in my system this morning. I'm just hoping I don't have a random drug test today.
ReplyDeleteOh, that sucks big time.
ReplyDeleteMy XBox red-ringed last night.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks, too.
Sucks less than Jarmon's situation.
maybe I'm just too skeptical, but I think most of the stuff at those "health food stores" is a bunch of baloney.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, THT.
ReplyDeleteIs THTjr going to see the Hammers this weekend?
My xbox has yet to do it...but I'm sure it will now that I've said otherwise...on the record no less.
ReplyDeleteYep, he'll be in the stands tomorrow afternoon GMT for West Ham vs Middlebrough
ReplyDeleteGreat. He gets to see Gareth Southgate on his death knell.
ReplyDeleteI like Gareth Southgate, for the record.
ReplyDeleteI'm too old for an x-box.
ReplyDeleteI just had to wiki gareth southgate since I didn't know what one was
ReplyDeleteMy dad has an xbox...you can't be much older than him.
ReplyDeleteMy last video game was this:
ReplyDeleteFootball
My sister-in-law gave it to me. MrsTHT threw it to an untimely death from our 3rd floor balcony not long thereafter.
ReplyDeletethat video game circa 1979, same as the Louise Goffin song playing now on my iTunes
ReplyDeleteJay does the warranty still apply?
ReplyDeletenot for my Mattel football game :-(
ReplyDeletedespite landing in the grass, it ended up in a bunch of pieces. I've never doubted a promise from MrsTHT since!
"Turn that thing off or I'll throw it out the door"
The three-year warranty is applicable! Yay.
ReplyDeleteits a shame, hopefully something positive will come out of this for him.
ReplyDeleteGood morning DL. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJGT
ReplyDeleteHow about a little (pun intended) on this Jorrell Bostrom guy..
dl
whats up THT...
ReplyDeletejust listening to some tunes, right now Alison by Elvis Costello, and searching for some cheap flights
ReplyDeleteMattel Electronic Football = Rocks!
ReplyDeleteTalking Football = Greatest Game Ever!
i got talked in to going to an arts fest. today. I really hate art, esp folk art..
ReplyDeletegotta keep the war department happy.
have a great day hotties
DL, it won't be so bad when you get old like me.
ReplyDeleteMornin' Jet!
Turn it up.
Yeah, Dear Leader ...
ReplyDeleteWhen there's a coup, it always -- ALWAYS -- originates in the War Department.
Headline from the news ...
ReplyDeleteEmbattled South Korean ex-president jumps to his death
DL, you're making an impact.
^^^^^Thread Willer?
ReplyDeleteHola Hotties -
ReplyDeleteWTC - I managed to survive 18 miles today in relatively good shape. Thanks for the update/warning. I'll plot out the route and see how the elevation changes compare to what I'm forced to run around here regularly. If I don't like it, I'll stay clear of it and we'll find another.
THT - Thanks too you and Molly for having ice cream on my behalf. I suspect a family trip this weekend to Carvel is in order.
JGT - What is "red ringed" as it relates to X-Box? There are no game systems in the house here, but being relatively quick on the uptake, I gather it means you had a system crash.
Red ringing x-box is when the light ring around the xbox logo turns red instead of green.
ReplyDeleteTechnically .. the box has hit an unrecoverable error.
I think it is flooding in the gump again! Is time to build an ark?
ReplyDeleteOkay, congrats on the anniversaries but ya'll got a ways to catch up....we just celebrated 31 years!
Sorry for the Jarmon kid...guess they just don't get it.
i used to have one of those electric football games in which the players moved only because of the vibration of the field. good times. the chiefs never lost to the cowboys on my game.
ReplyDeleteHey Hotties. Hope your having a great Memorial Day Weekend. Please remember all those who gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms that we enjoy today in this great country.
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteI'm on DC #6 and I see no end in sight. It's like I can't get caught up on fluids today. My wife's KO should have a big bump up next week solely on my efforts.
JayGT - those all important Man U footballers are hogging the live slot tomorrow on FSC.
ReplyDeleteHowever, West Ham & Middlesbrough will be shown on tape delay at 1 pm EDT after the Man U vs Hull match
Since I Willed the thread, I'm going to leave now. MissTHT and I are going to watch the Hurricanes and Penguins in Raleigh.
ReplyDeleteGO PENS!!!
Slow day for the HABOTN.
ReplyDeleteHey Hotties..Just got back from MV and had a great time...pics on facebook to come later...
ReplyDeleteJay- Excellent job on the CGC profile..very nicely done..I do wonder what you think of him personally..Like of dislike? How many coaches have you seen come and go at AU?
As far as which coach to do next..since you started with the big dog...go coordinators next...
coutesy of dandb...heavy cousin humper flavor..surprise..surprise...
ReplyDeletehttp://bleacherreport.com/articles/181144-the-11-worst-college-football-coaching-performances-of-the-21st-century
That's one article I'm glad to see heavy Alabama focus.

ReplyDeletei imagine you noticed chiz's 5-19 record was mentioned in the comments section about poor coaching performances. i've never been stuck on that even when he was hired. a friend of mine from went to grad school in ames and said the weather was absolutely miserable and there was very little to do but read and get stoned. i just don't see the recruits turning down oklahoma, texas, iowa, colorado etc. to go spend their college years in siberia. i'd like to see $aban up in ames and see what recruits the ISU boosters can afford.
ReplyDeleteand happy war heros day to all.
Hello Hot Ones! I'm blogging from behind enemy lines. I'm waiting for a reception to start at the grand Paul Bear Bryant Conference Center in Tuscaloosa, AL. Oh how my hate has grown! Waiting for this reception to start just amplifies it!
ReplyDeleteI love living in Georgia for that very reason big cat. Though it sucks losing to the Dawgs almost as bad.
ReplyDeleteBigcat- just drink heavily to get thru it. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI see where Ole Miss was reported for a secondary violation. Looks like the SEC is now becoming the conference that cheats just a little. Nothing will come of it, but I think Slive might address this issue as it seems a pattern is evolving with these coaches.
ReplyDeleteMan, I hate to hear of a kid doing something stupid with such severe consequences, but all schools now beat NCAA rules into their heads. Sometime you have to get bit to learn.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that cousin humper has become a secret catch phrase to reference a rival fan base. I think I like it.
ReplyDeleteSteve- I love the "cousin humper" name for the bammers!...I didn't come up with it and I forgot who started it but would the one behind it please stand up? so I can toast your brilliance!
ReplyDeleteUnless I am mistaken, "cousin humper" is a jetism from a Bama hate themed post I have vague recollections of.
ReplyDeleteGo figure on: (1) a jet-hate-bama post (2) me having vague recollections.
by the way - baked sweet potatoes are heaven.
I hate Bama
ReplyDeleteI think you are right eh..so (and I must say this is a much better time for this)here's to Jet the genius!..
ReplyDeleteI really can't bear anything Bama. I just have to walk away whenever it's encountered.
ReplyDeleteIn case all the Braves fans didn't know, the Braves won their first interleague series against the 1st Place AL East Blue Jays tonight.
ReplyDeletecousin humpers do not deserve baked sweet potato. especially if covered in butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. sweet potato fries are also outta sight and off limits to cousin humpers.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm a little slow getting the puter up and running this morning... and still no good morning posts from the Hotties, so.
ReplyDeleteGOOD MORNING HOTTIES!!!
RISE AND SHINE AND HATE BAMA!!
WARRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
Didn't the same thing happen to Todd Bates?
ReplyDeleteOne other thing....
ReplyDeleteEither Josh Moon is trying to stir up the Bama and Auburn fans.....OR he needs to lay off the crack pipe.
Moon
Hi FSJ,
ReplyDeleteYep, as he states as the #1 reason for the article "to generate talk". There's no easier way to do that than to write stuff that will make readers mad. I think he was successful.
What up Hotties...it looks like another wet and inside type day on this Memorial Day weekend...bummer.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is ever going to stop raining.
ReplyDeletenot a drop here. i actually had to do yard work. yuck.
ReplyDeleteHe should have just taken Human Growth Hormone like everyone else. You can't detect it in the urine.
ReplyDeletewith human chorionic growth hormone, one runs the risk of pregnancy.
ReplyDeletecould you redshirt for that reason?
ReplyDeleteHey Hotties!
ReplyDeleteRain, Rain, Go Away!
I just saw that Daytona Beach has had over 20" of rain in the past 6 days.
ReplyDeleteWest Ham 2-1 Middlesbrough
ReplyDeleteGreat birthday for THTjr!

ReplyDeleteI agree, that's why I go by Tar Heel Tiger
Michael- I substitute apple butter for peanut butter and no fungus at all, creamed or otherwise. As for the honey, it's got to be sourwood.
ReplyDeleteMiami Dolphins defensive end Randy Starks was arrested because he hit an officer with a slow moving freightliner truck There were 13 people in the cab.
ReplyDeleteObviously when you stick 13 people in that cab (for 4) people will have to sit in laps etc.

ReplyDeleteHi jhag, it's great to hear from you.
wartiger - you crack me up
the Human Deer
ReplyDeletewartiger - I used to be afflicted with an SPD, substanceless posting disorder. Then I learned how to put substance in just about every post by including any one of the following, listed in increasing importance:
ReplyDelete1. Penguins reference... GO PENS!
2. WAR EAGLE!!!
3. Reference to an Auburn legend (see above post)
4. Monica
It's that easy!
WAR EAGLE!!!
Good Memorial Day morning to all the Hotties!!!
ReplyDeleteWARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
Red clay hills, rednecks drinking wine on Sunday.
They'll have their fill, down in Doraville.
I keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I always wake up the same or so
(thoughts from the morning iTunes songs)
Thank you veterans.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary Monica.
Happy Memorial Day Hotties!!
ReplyDeleteehyou & wartiger - great to see y'all here. I was beginning to think HABOTN posting was prohibited on Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteI'll be hanging around today because I have to work 12 hours today. Everyone remember good ol' Harrison today!
ReplyDeletetht- great to see you too THT.. Now I am being put to work painting the kitchen and carrying boxes of books..oh the fun...
ReplyDeleteHarrison & wartiger - if I do as little as humanly possible today, we can average our output and y'all won't have worked so hard today. How's that sound? I'm willing to help out my Hottie friends anyway I can...as long as it doesn't involve work.
ReplyDeleteyou are a true saint THT..thanks...
ReplyDeleteyou're really taking one for the team THT. thanks
ReplyDeleteaw shucks fellas, it's the least I could do.
ReplyDeleteWifey just told me to get the pressure washer ready. My lounging is in serious jeopardy.
ReplyDeleteehyou - resistance is futile, to quote The Borg.
ReplyDeleteMrsTHT is at work. While the cat's away, this mouse will be worthless.
at least I'm posting on HABOTN and updating my iPod, which is a lot more than I can get out of Molly dog.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Anniversary to Monica and G-man.
ReplyDeleteBless all the servicemen and women who have served this country with pride and honor.
One small note, Mrs Digger is so much better and I want to thank all of the hotties for your prayers and wonderful thoughts.
that's great news, Digger!
ReplyDeleteHotties, keep on praying for Mr & Mrs Digger!
So glad to hear some good news Digger!!
