Lane Kiffin takes another hit

So I'm watching this ESPN report on Lane Kiffin.

ESPN asked the Oakland Raiders for comment. The Raiders. A real organization.

Here is the team's response:

"Lane Kiffin is a flat-out liar. He lied to the team, he lied to the fans and he lied to the media. He will destroy that university like he tried to destroy the Raiders and will eventually clash with (Pat) Summitt and (Bruce) Pearl. Other than that, the Raiders can say nothing further."

Holy cow. I'd love to know what Kiffin did to Al Davis.

Unknown said...: Personally, I like Phillip Marshall and Auburn Undercover, although I do find they have a gift for tpyos.

Cecil Hurt doesn't really bother me. He is just another squirrel trying to get a nut.; 12:24 PM
Aeronaut said...: get to it; 12:24 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: we dont' want to scroll!!!; 12:24 PM
Unknown said...: And yes, mispelling typos is always a favorite pastime of mine. Gee, I need to get a life.; 12:25 PM
mytommyd said...: Steve is the Auburn Undercover worth the cost, whatever that might be? Do they get more info than the stuff on al.com, or scouts or rivals, or even here for that matter? Just askin.; 12:26 PM
Unknown said...: I think Auburn Undercover mostly gets the same information, although some of Phillips for your eyes only stuff isn't bad. I like it for no other reason that the place doesn't have the smell of al.com. No, it is probably not worth the money when you consider all the other sources out there, but I have never been wise with money anyway.; 12:29 PM
Monica said...: Steve - $10,000
I accept Pay Pal

chip chip - toeing the company line

chip - I decided to commit to reading the books you post. That was a big commitment for me. I'm glad I did.

Aeronaut - I enjoy your posts.

Did Josh just say Jay G. was the brainchild behind the Franklin article? ha ha ha ha; 12:30 PM
Unknown said...: Actually, I prefer to rely on what Jay G. "The plane boss, the plane" Tate has to say better. I find his posts more objective than any other place I regularly attend.; 12:31 PM
Unknown said...: Well, crap. I can see that if I am going to buy my friends I am gonna have to get some cheaper friends.; 12:32 PM
Kathy said...: I'm here THT, in between meetings, reading and laughing!; 12:34 PM
Monica said...: ha ha Steve you asked the price of being a favorite! Non favorite friend status is free.; 12:35 PM
Monica said...: Kathy - How is your Mom?; 12:36 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Hi Kathy, are your meetings that funny?

JayGT implied he was responsible for the article.; 12:36 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: being Monica's fav costs more than AU tickets; 12:41 PM
Miller said...: It does give you 'w/benefits' status though.; 12:42 PM
chip chip said...: glad you enjoyed mon.

i like reading your posts because they are short to the point and entertaining. i hope to be able to express my thoughts that way someday.

for my money, the scout.com premium message boards have been a riot over the last few months.

and, yes, i'm done bashing cecil hurt for the day.; 12:44 PM
Kathy said...: Mon, thanks for asking. I had to momsit this weekend. I did get her to walk up and down her hallway. She has pain, and she is scared she will fall. Her breathing is as good as it will get. I did update her on the Auburn news and told her about HABOTN. She enjoyed me reading some of the comments to her.; 12:45 PM
Miller said...: Of course, I'm referring to insurance and paid vacation.; 12:46 PM
mytommyd said...: I know when they were first trotting out the site as he was looking to move elsewhere, they had mentioned it was going to be a paysite. Just a thought, maybe that's why people feel he's a homer. You're not going to keep many people paying coming to your website if you feed them a whole bunch of "bad" articles about "their" team.; 12:47 PM
chip chip said...: this debate is going on one of the pay site boards.

which schools are the easiest to recruit big time recruits to? (i.e. built-in advantages)

my list: Texas, LSU, USC, Florida, UCLA(and i can't understand why they don't)

whatcha think hot ones?; 12:48 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: LSwho? Yes, it's the only big player in the state...but it wouldn't be on my list of top destinations.

UNC; 12:52 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: not that I'm a homer or anything; 12:53 PM
Unknown said...: Michigan and Notre Dame should be on that list.; 12:54 PM
Monica said...: Kathy has tapped into the healing powers of the HABOTN.

I know this is a tough time for you, Kathy. You and your mom remain in my thoughts.; 12:54 PM
chip chip said...: do the football players get courtside bball seats or something?; 12:54 PM
chip chip said...: michigan has MSU to contend with. notre dame is in South Bend. of course, LSU is in baton rouge...

and i left ohio st. off my list.; 12:56 PM
Monica said...: Miller - tsk tsk tsk; 12:56 PM
Unknown said...: I am please to learn that Ziemba is now up around 315. It appears he is back to his playing weight.; 12:58 PM
Unknown said...: I guess it depends upon what you call natural advantage, but Notre Dame has Rudy and the Gipper, and Rockne and such.

Michigan is the winningest football team in college football history. They do lose points because of those helmets, though.; 1:00 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Anyone had a root canal?; 1:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: jhag, it ain't that pretty at all; 1:01 PM
Monica said...: I think USC has the biggest advantage - they've got that whole winning football games thing AND

it's so cali
girls
it's cali; 1:02 PM
ehyou said...: Weather is one built-in advantages that Ohio St, Mich and ND do not have.; 1:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: You know, I just had a short vacation, Roy
Spent it getting a root canal
"Oh, how'd you like it?"
Well, it ain't that pretty at all
So I'm going to hurl myself against the wall
'Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all

Gonna get a good running start and throw myself at the wall as hard as I can man

Warren Zevon; 1:03 PM
Aeronaut said...: Thank you Monica. Likewise. Sorry sometimes my odd work hours and intake of caffeine makes me sound like a madman. I'll never survive unless I was a little crazy.

Steve, I'm your friend. Hey we both use Linux, so .. yeah... I guess that makes us stubborn and sadomasochists.

And if my posts are not an indication of that, I don't know what is.; 1:03 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica - thank you for saying what I was thinking all along. I just didn't want to sound like the pig I am.
Those USC Song Girls and the Honey Bears (or whatever they're called at UCLA)...what's not to like? At least for an 18 year old male athlete; 1:05 PM
mytommyd said...: Would Oklahoma still be on that list?; 1:06 PM
AUfan said...: Steve, I have a feeling we will see the Ziemba of '07(maybe better?) return this season. If not, this offense is in BIG trouble.; 1:06 PM
mytommyd said...: Its those sweaters THT ... and legs. Just sayin; 1:06 PM
Monica said...: I like crazy people.; 1:07 PM
chip chip said...: warm weather is definitely a big deal in what programs are popular and successful.

cousin humper U would be on the list if you went on winning tradition and discounted location. they at least have the weather thing in their favor. they are similar to ND in that they have other major programs around them competing for the same players in their region. ND obviously has more national pull.; 1:08 PM
Monica said...: I wouldn't want to live in OK.; 1:08 PM
chip chip said...: gotta go work with my girl on learning to ride her bike. ta!; 1:11 PM
mytommyd said...: Wouldn't want to live there either, Mon. Just thinking they're kinda like LSU, being fromerly the only game in the state. Now with OSU, and Tulsa, and tornadoes... ya know what nevermind, I'm taking Oklahoma off the list; 1:12 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Boise State?

ok, maybe not; 1:15 PM
Monica said...: i think if' you're highly recruited and you don't have some strong emotional attachment to a university, then all sorts of things factor into your decision

girls
location
party potential
girls
weather
girls

i've never been recruited and i've never been a 18 year old boy so i'm just guessing; 1:16 PM
Monica said...: i'm boycotting punctuation; 1:16 PM
Jet said...: Monica = Wise observer of 18 year old boys.

I mean, she has a clear understanding of the factors that would be important to many 18 year old boys.; 1:17 PM
Monica said...: i said i've never been one
i didn't say i've never...known one; 1:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: My list in no particular order:
UTx
UCLA
USC
UNC
ND (only if talking football)
Michigan (ditto); 1:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica - next time I have to take a test, I want you "guessing" for me.; 1:20 PM
Unknown said...: Don't forget girls.; 1:20 PM
AUfan said...: Monica, considering your guidelines, Florida State would need to be on that list. They have quite the reputation for "entertaining" the recruits.; 1:21 PM
mytommyd said...: Mon, what if the 18 yo boy is a homer?; 1:21 PM
Unknown said...: Tennessee has a good advantage having Vanderbilt to compete with in state and Kentucky and Louisville to the north. I have also heard Tennessee has the biggest recruiting budget in the nation.

Arkansas is a one team state, but they aren't exactly a hotbed of talent.; 1:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: and the girls don't have a full set of teeth; 1:25 PM
ehyou said...: Florida St should be on the list. It should be hard not to recruit there. That tells you how far behind Bowden is nowadays.

I don't think Oklahoma or UT are on the list. They do have a history of success, which brings in recruits. But on the "built-in" advantages front, what in Norman or Knoxville would entice a young man to go there?; 1:27 PM
ehyou said...: Is there a bigger built-in advantage than proximity to the beach? I can't think of one.; 1:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: esp. Venice Beach; 1:31 PM
Norm said...: Hawaii. I'd have to give that serious consideration if I had no emotional attachment anywhere else. What's not to love?; 1:36 PM
Aeronaut said...: I don't think girls are pretty high on list of priorities. If that was the case Arizona State would do much better, and bama would be behind North Dakota.

a: advertising (fame, buzz, etc)
b: influence of elders, coaches, etc
c: fit in the system and possibility of playtime and
d: location.

They can interchange, like someone not wanting to leave state etc.; 1:37 PM
Jet said...: Don't forget the all important "pays best."; 1:38 PM
Monica said...: i don't mind homers as long as they don't deny their homerism and as long as their homerism isn't extreme

it's all a matter of degrees don'tcha know; 1:38 PM
Monica said...: beach is supreme advantage in my book; 1:39 PM
FSJ said...: If I were a highly rated recruit I would be concerned with the following things:

1) How much money I am given...
2) Guarantee's on playing time....
3) Whether a school would allow my nickname to be on my jersey....
4) Women......; 1:40 PM
Will said...: Mon your punctuation boycott lasted a solid 2 min i bet i can beat it

whats the word on the lb who is supposed to commit today; 1:41 PM
Monica said...: Aeronaut - how old are you and do you wear a pocket protector?; 1:41 PM
Aeronaut said...: Jet. That was the #0.

Can someone tell Jawara White to get to it? It's almost 1 AM here.; 1:42 PM
Monica said...: will my boycott is still jammin
recognize; 1:42 PM
Will said...: mon is back

thought you might be slippin boo; 1:45 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: pocket protector -LOL; 1:47 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I think we shod all boycott the letter ewe; 1:48 PM
Aeronaut said...: Monica.

I'm 33. Pocket protector wouldn't go well in fatigues. But I'm going back to school in September (PhD) so I'll probably need one.

No I am not going to Auburn. I wish I could.; 1:50 PM
Monica said...: and where are you that it's 1:00 am

it's all good will; 1:51 PM
Monica said...: fatigues - oooo - me likey
phd - you will be a doc of what?
Dr. Aeronaut; 1:53 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: http://www.worldtimezone.com/; 1:56 PM
Monica said...: ewe are so helpfhl tht; 1:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: not really, i jst like maps; 1:59 PM
Griff said...: PMarsh oughta be an Auburn homer. We need as many as we can get. Hell, who needs enemies when ya got Josh Moon doing an article on an admitted dumbass OC who is now located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, 9 months after the guy was canned?; 2:01 PM
Jet said...: Ah, popcorn.; 2:01 PM
Aeronaut said...: The general area is Mechanical Engineering. My Intention is to work on bio-nano-electro-mechanical systems (called BioNEMS or 'lab on chip' etc).

It sounds much harder than it actually is.; 2:03 PM
Norm said...: Ahh, Bach...

(obscure reference); 2:03 PM
Jet said...: It worked for Radar, didn't it, Norm?; 2:03 PM
Norm said...: Few things are hotter than some "lab on chip" action.; 2:04 PM
Monica said...: Dr Aeronaut - you need to come home from there ASAP; 2:04 PM
Seanzie said...: Man I've seen some OT stuff on here but Pocket Protectors?; 2:04 PM
Norm said...: Indeed it did Jet. I knew I could count on you.; 2:04 PM
Monica said...: i love smart guys

hahahaha @ "ah, bach"; 2:05 PM
Aeronaut said...: Currently I am 100 miles from Pak-Afghan border, on the Pakistan side.

That's all I can say about that.; 2:06 PM
Jet said...: From what I understand, Chip's pretty upset. The lab never called again.; 2:06 PM
Will said...: Im rockin my HABOTN gear in the ATL airport today on my way to NC

Still no punctuation; 2:06 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Root canals are overrated.

I've had two. Neither were worrisome.; 2:08 PM
Norm said...: AERO - that tidbit brings about a whole new set of assumptions for me which are quite different from those I referenced last week. With that said, I'll offer even more thanks to you.; 2:08 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Aero ... I think you're in uncharted area in terms of HABOTN reach. Be careful.; 2:09 PM
Jet said...: Vasectomies, however, are not. I've had two of them.; 2:09 PM
Monica said...: i used tht's map and had the general location - it's time for you to come home, Arrownut

do you want me to write you a note? cuz i so will and it will so work

i knows peoples; 2:10 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm now working on a new Coaches Spotlight story.

Trooper Taylor, Thig or Grimes?

(flipping coin); 2:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Aeronat - ewe realize that Michael may declare labs on a chip are fake?; 2:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: study something real for crying ot lod; 2:11 PM
Jet said...: You can't make the blog if you jog!

RUN TROOPER!; 2:11 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Grimes Grimes Grimes; 2:11 PM
Will said...: i say grimes thig then troop in that order; 2:12 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Thigpen wins.; 2:12 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Thigpen took 2-of-3 against Grimes in the flipoff.; 2:13 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Look for that around 3 p.m. CDT.; 2:13 PM
Jet said...: Homer.; 2:14 PM
Will said...: hee hee you said flipoff; 2:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Thigpen an excellent choice! A Carolina grad who married a wonderfl lady. Smart dood!; 2:16 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: speaking of ladies, JayGT...why dont ewe profile the ass't coaches better halves d'ring the dry months of smmer; 2:18 PM
FSJ said...: Ok...they wouldn't let me on stage today...WTH?

Jet said...: When is the HOTTIE bracket?; 2:23 PM
Monica said...: if iphone joins up with Verizon's 4G network next year i'll try it then; 2:24 PM
Aubie said...: I like the idea on the coaches' wives.
Start with Lane Kiffin's and Mike Shula's.; 2:27 PM
Aeronaut said...: Well my PhD dissertation will be 'selection of best chips for the lab'. I'll try doritos, lays, and pringles.

Mon. Thanks for the offer. That was sweet.

Jet. Thanks for the laughs.; 2:27 PM
Aeronaut said...: FSJ.

Do they come with that 2 year contractual slavery or something like that?; 2:29 PM
Seanzie said...: Aero, you should see the prices if you get it without the contract...; 2:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica - I'm waiting for the same Waiting til (at least) 2011 I bet; 2:31 PM
FSJ said...: Sadly Aeronaut they will come with a contract.

THT I would anticipate that it will be at least mid 2010 and maybe longer before it hits Verizon.; 2:33 PM
mytommyd said...: THT - just noticing earlier, you said "study"; 2:34 PM
Monica said...: THT - Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg hinted that Verizon might offer it next year - who knows

Aeronaut - I am a very sweet girl. Everyone here - EVERYONE - will testify to my sweetitude; 2:34 PM
Monica said...: Verizon CEO Eyes Global Assets; 2:39 PM
mytommyd said...: absolutely Mon, you're the sweet one, that's right Aeronaut, you think sweet you think Mon.; 2:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Mrtommyd - oops

Mon/FSJ - I'll believe it when it happens.

I wish Verizon signal hadn't dropped off the face of the earth where i live. it's now as bad as att

sweetitoode - great word! and yes, I'll vowch; 2:42 PM
Aubie said...: THT - You are AUsome and Zevonic! I get ALL your WZ references without the need for follow up explanation.

Norm - "Ahh Bach". Most awesome MASH episode and most clever obscure reference for the day!

Jay G - Where do I pick up a three sided coin?; 2:43 PM
Seanzie said...: Verizon works in atlanta in some places it shouldn't. For example, at my gym, which is underground and underneath a huge steel building and concrete...I get service.; 2:43 PM
Jet said...: THT ...

I am a fan of Auburn. What collegiate team do you pull for?; 2:44 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: jet, I was saving this for #1 post on new thread; no can do now since work jst went bonkers, so....

Monica said...: THT you plan your posts in advance - you are most impressive; 2:53 PM
Miller said...: Thig! I called it! What do I win?

Root canals - not bad at all. I actually thought it was cool when they pull the root out, it feels like they are pulling a zip tie out of your head. Really cool.; 3:17 PM
