Hey everyone. We all knew your Auburn Tigers would play the Mountaineers of West Virginia University on Sept. 19.Now we know what time that game will occur.
Toe will meet leather at 6:45 p.m. CDT that evening. The event will be televised in HD on ESPN or ESPN2. That decision won't be made until September, but does it really matter to you?
Under terms of the SEC's new television deal, at least 11 of Auburn's 12 games will be televised. Most of them will be on the ESPN family of networks.

SUBSTANCE
ReplyDeleteMay be old news but I Just saw USA beat Spain.. Holy Crap... Way to go USA...
ReplyDeleteSteveFC better get an HDTV soon.
ReplyDeleteAll these Auburn games are going to be telecast in high-def.
Yea. I come home from the Catholic High stuff to USA celebrating a 2-0 win against No. 1 Spain.
ReplyDeleteWow.
What a day, I didn't think it possible.
ReplyDeletedid i really just watch the USA futbol team BEAT ESP?
ReplyDeletethere was no doubt who won the game.
it was not luck, they just won it on the field.
you wouldn't think USA had any business being on the same field with ESP watching the disparity in technical ability, but the 2-0 score is all that matters.
bye bye 35 match unbeaten streak!
bye bye 15 match winning streak!
hello 3rd place match!
...and ESP = Spain for the fan that only follows american football.
HD!
ReplyDeleteUSA!
A new threadlette!
Nekkid governors!
DL makes an apperance!
What a day!
Getting either #5 Brazil on a neutral field or #72 South Africa at home in the final on Sunday. Who do we want?
ReplyDeletegimmie SA any day!
ReplyDeletebrazil generally owns the US. at least they did in the first round.
South Africa.
ReplyDeleteI still don't have anything to report about player attrition. I suspect something has gone down, but I have no idea who could be involved.
Chip Chip - I tend to agree, but if the U.S. could somehow beat Spain and Brazil back-to-back, that would make quite a statement.
ReplyDeleteGisele Bundchen or Charlize Theron?
ReplyDeleteWhat to do? WHAT TO DO!?!?
I guess the DVR will work overtime this year. WVA-AU and UGA-Ark: both on at 7:45 EDT and on either ESPN or ESPN2. I say stagger those game times like the last few seasons.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to watch on the tube. Too late in the pm for me to attend and then drive 2 1/2 hours home to Ga.
take Charlize Jet. there you go.
ReplyDeleteDid you all watch this Mark Sanford stuff? That was a seriously weird press conference.
ReplyDeleteIt's times like this where I am thankful I am not a governor, and my week long disappearances for an affair in a South American jungle goes unreported in most major media outlets.
ReplyDeleteI can remember the old days when we were lucky if we saw Auburn on TV once or twice a year. I must admit I am now spoiled. I do fondly remember listening to games on the radio though.
ReplyDeleteI have subject/verb disagreement in that last post, and it is really eating at me.
ReplyDeleteI think I will be ready to buy an HDTV before the season starts. Now I must decided how big of a TV to get. 42" is probably plenty big, but I usually prefer to go to excess.
ReplyDeleteI have a flesh eating virus, and it is really eating at me
ReplyDeletebacteria
ReplyDeleteI also have a flesh eating virus. Well, not really a virus, more like a flesh eating animal called a lion. But anyway, yeah, it ate some people, and I feel crummy about it because it is my lion. I need to be a better steward.
ReplyDelete42 inches, Steve?
ReplyDeleteI thought you are going to buy a TV.
You can order your very own flesh eating bacteria or ebola virus here
ReplyDeleteBro. Jay will be calling soon, Michael. He knows how to be a good steward.
ReplyDeleteWhat up Hotties?
ReplyDeleteI managed to help you out and flip the last thread to a new page before I was aware of a new thread. Dangit. All that work in vain.
Keep Hate Alive.
Michael - I'm guessing you meant to say "It are times.."
ReplyDeleteThat's a quality website, THT.
ReplyDeleteI like the Black Death description: Improved hygiene and readily available antibiotics keep this bad boy at bay. But what a history. Find out more about the good old days.
JayGT-
ReplyDelete...which makes me wonder how come Tuscaloser hasn't been decimated by that little critter.
Wow, just WOW at USA defeating spain.
ReplyDeleteTransformers was pretty decent, good watch in the theater. Saw a trailer for The Last Airbender, that looks freakin awesome. GI Joe previews are gettin better, too.
Sirius' 90s on 9 incorrectly identified Calloway's 1990 smash "I Wanna Be Rich" as being from 1996.
ReplyDeleteThis is the stuff that gets me flustered.
I guess Gov. Sanford didn't enjoy life in the Palmetto State.
ReplyDelete"Improved hygiene and readily available antibiotics keep this bad boy at bay. But what a history. Find out more about the good old days."
ReplyDeleteI think I heard a girl say that about me one time. I guess she too was less than impressed with my stewardship.
steve,
ReplyDeleteDO NOT purchase a sony HD TV!!!
i purchased a sony HD TV in 2004 and have had nothing but problems with it.
i used to love sony but they have really started making crappy products all over the board from many accounts i have read.
there were hundreds of people that had the same problem i had with my TV "stars" or "blue blob" and sony would not even acknowledge the issue or or much less fix it at the time.
they basically beta tested the product by selling it to the public and not backing up the quality.
i'm not too up on who has turned out to be the better brands recently, but samsung, lg, philips and sharp all seem to have decent TVs on the market. the one brand i have heard mentioned more is samsung. there are folks out there much more qualified than me to help you, but DON"T BUY A SONY P.O.S.!
"I Wanna Be Rich" is soooo 1990. 1996 was quite a different musical landscape.
ReplyDeleteMichael, you're so right.
ReplyDeleteAll those fake drums wouldn't have worked after Nirvana and Pearl Jam hit the scene.
11? Holy Cow.
ReplyDeletedave grohl and jimmy chamberlin = my two favorite drummers
ReplyDeletei'm not dissin' any other drummers, those are just my favs.
ReplyDeleteif you talk drummers, the discussion, by law, must include Keith Moon and Neil Peart.
ReplyDeleteSteve - I'll have to disagree with Chip-Chip on the Sony issue. I own two of their XBR HD sets, the most recent being a 46" LCD currently above my fireplace. The older one I've had since around '04. They're both excellent and I've had zero problems with either one.
ReplyDeleteI have heard from more than one source that Sony has been outsourcing production (esp. TVs) to lower and lower quality facilities, slapping their name on it and dam the consequences.
ReplyDeleteNorm, your sets may be the exception rather than the rule.
I don't really have a fav drummer. But keyboards, I really liked the late Billy Powell; also Roy Bittan, Warren Zevon, and Billy Preston.
ReplyDeleteTHT - those are my favorite drummers. I looooove Keith's drumming on Live at Leads, probably my favorite drumming of anyone anywhere at any time.
ReplyDeleteFave drummers:
ReplyDeleteBonham
Moon
ElTurbo
Scratch ElTurbo ... since the other had their career cut a tad short. Don't want him to get any ideas.
As a former drummer, I'd partially agree with THT - Peart is awesome, Moon not so much. Another perhaps lesser known drummer but very good is from another Canadian trio "Triumph" Gil Moore.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite drummer was Slater from Zack Attack
ReplyDeletei will avoid willingly buying any sony products for the rest of my life after my experience with them and their not owning up to their dishonesty of trying to hide and deny the problems. sony = the $aban of electronics.
ReplyDeleteagain, just my personal opinion and experience.
ehyou,
ReplyDeleteexactly what i have heard.
quality is being sacrificed.
i used to seek out sony electronics for reliability.
no more...
My ALL TIME favorite drummer was Danny Partridge. That boy could play.
ReplyDeleteDang it, now you folks have HDTV's dancing around in my head!!!
ReplyDeleteNorm - I too know drummers who don't like Moon, but they are the more classically trained or marching band type guys. Moon was original, just all over the place. He wasn't a rhythm section like Bonham or Peart, so it's hard to compare him. Pete was the rhythm section of that band. Moon was about building energy. It's a taste thing.
ReplyDeleteI also really like Jack Irons, he was really groovetastic. Lars Ulrich in the 80's was also pretty darn good too.
Go for it, Steve. I really want to be the last person in the RoF without HD.
ReplyDeletei think the xbr series had some fixes in them that resolved some of the problems i experienced. my issues with sony is they were KNOWN problems with the set i have before going to market and they did not back up their products. instead of testing the technology themselves, they sold it and waited to see what happened.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong on Moon. He was good. Quite good. There were just others I found that were more talented. Bonham was pretty good too, and about the only one I found it difficult to recreate alot of the things he did. The others, I could recreate some but certainly not all of what they did. If I could have, I'd have been a rock star.
ReplyDeletethey wanted $1800 to fix a tv that was less than 2 years old. i eventually found a good shop and got it fixed for $600 after being unwatchable for six months and going through 3 new parts.
ReplyDeleteSorry to inform you michael, but I do have a 32" HDTV. It is very old. If it was any older it would be gas powered. I just need the big screen.
ReplyDeleteI am getting tempted to use my normal shopping method, which is to cruise amazon.com, pick what I want, and buy it. Yea, it is way too tempting.
use best buy's no interest financing for 18 months. they usually have the offer for purchases >$400.
ReplyDeletethat way you don't blow your cash all in one purchase.
Both of my Sony's are the XBR series so maybe they did fix whatever ailed the others before it made its' way to XBR.
ReplyDeleteI used this site a decent amount on my tv purchases
AVS Forum
When I think of Moon, I think of someone like Jimi Hendrix. Pretty much any good guitarist today can play all his stuff, but he is so revered because of how different it was at the time.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's not always how difficult the riff or drum track is that gives it artistic value, but also how it sounds. There are few fanbases of a band that revere a drummer like The Who fans revere Moon. HE must have been doing something right. Like Hendrix or Van Halen and other people who brought new things to the table, if you create something original, you will get more credit than the guy that can play some crazy syncopated stuff that sounds like crap.
Steve - that doesn't disappoint me, it makes me happy. I feel that much more special not having HD now.
ReplyDeleteStill nothing official on the players no longer with the team? Seems like a bad sign.
ReplyDeleteSteve, I have a 42" Panasonic Plasma TV and have been very happy with it. I know LCD has became more popular, but the plasma has a smoother picture to me. Glare can be an issue with plasma if you have a lot of light coming into the TV room.
Both Sony and Panasonic are at about a 2% repair rate for LCD according to Consumer Reports.
ReplyDeleteI have the 40 inch samsung lcd, its only a 720 p but I love it. I really looked and for me, the samsung is the best. Im also hearing Jemison, maybe PP Louise and a couple of others may be out. I heard this on Sports Call.
ReplyDeletere: feeling special... me too! I'm going to assume you won't count the plasma rubble in the basement against me since it was never powered on.
ReplyDeleteSteve....if you only want 42" and don't want to spend much, you can probably buy a Panasonic Viera plasma for $500. I would buy an LCD with 6ms refresh for sports.
ReplyDeleteBroadcast HD is 720p. I believe 1080p is only available on blu-ray disc.
ReplyDeleteMy past two tv's were sony's, they are both doing fine and i got no probs with them.
ReplyDeleteFavorite drummer has to be Idris Muhammad, close second is Stanton Moore, i've seen him do some crazy stuff with the drums, running a tube into the bass and snare drums while having the tube strapped to his arm up to his shoulder, occasionaly pressing air into or removing air in those drums to give a crazy ascending descending effect. Good stuff.
Sportscall just said P Marsh is confirming that PPL, Christian Thompson, Jomarcus Savage and Cameron Henderson are no longer with the team.
ReplyDeleteThe 2008 recruiting class is a total disaster. Damn.
I'm not even close to being able to write a story like Phillip's.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying his information is wrong ... I just haven't heard a definitive list of names.
Plus, I despise the "has learned" stuff. You all know how I feel about this.
ReplyDeleteJay, sorry if you would rather report this with your own story. Would you like for me to remove my post?
ReplyDeleteNope. I don't mind at all.
ReplyDeleteDayum!!! I figured Chiz would clean house but I at least thought it would be after the season! If that report is true, that's like getting fired on your day off!
ReplyDeleteTuberville ran a bunch of guys early in his tenure. So it happens.
ReplyDeleteWith that said, I have nothing to report. Nobody will tell me anything on the record and that's where it counts on the HABOTN.
That's right Jay we have principles here!! Hey Jay isn't Chiz on vacation?? If that's true this is like getting fired on your day off and the boss out of town!
ReplyDeleteChizik is at the beach, yes.
ReplyDeleteThis has been a long day at the office!! I have only gotten second hand news all day today. I missed the gov of SCs press conference now the team seems to be getting downsized. I cant say that I'm too made about that though. More room for OL and an additional 5* RBs!
ReplyDeleteDidn't someone say earlier that Cam Henderson had been asked about it, and he replied by saying that he had not heard that he was off the team? If they are being kicked off, wouldn't the players at least know it?
ReplyDeleteCan anybody at least expound on what these guys are rumored to have done to get sent packing?
Jay, maybe now would be a good time for one of your question mark posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure there is even enough info out there for a question mark post...
ReplyDeleteFrom an old commitment list from 08
ReplyDeleteOnterio McCalebb
Spencer Pybus
Derek Winter
Neiko Thorpe
PPL-gone
Christian Thompson-gone
Jomarcus Savage-gone
Dax Dellenbach
Eric Smith
Ken Adams(JUCO?)
Derrick Lykes
D'Antoine Hood
Cameron Henderson-gone
Andre Wadley-gone
Marcus Jemison
Chris Todd
T'Sharvan Bell
Barrett Trotter
Harry Adams
Da'Shaun Barnes
Reggie Hunt-JUCO
DeRon Furr-gone
Freddie Smooth-JUCO
Jermaine Johnson- didn't make it in, signed with Miami
Raven Gray-gone
Darvin Adams
Drew Cole
Vance Smith
This has become an all too common issue for the last several classes. Hence, the depth problems that are so obvious today. Chizik and Co have to stop the bleeding, and I believe they will. He will pay the price for past mistakes this season, I am afraid.
Dmiller, i've just learned none of these fellas had HDTV.
ReplyDeleteI've also just learned it's easier to go and buy a rebuilt starter instead of rebuilding your own.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever reached the point where you can't eat one more shrimp? I don't think I have.
ReplyDeletedmiller-Jason Caldwell at Scouts is sticking with his story that Henderson says he no nothing about beeing kicked off (according to his source)
ReplyDeleteHe is questioning how they could be kicked off if ALL the coaches are out of town on vacation.
Ehyou my brother did eat his way through a food allergy one allergic reaction filled bite at a time! I didnt think anyone could love crab legs that much.
ReplyDeleteCaldwell says he does not have enough info to write a report. on his blog everyone is saying PMarshall is the only one reporting this.
ReplyDeleteIF TRUE: These aren't typical "housecleaning" type dismissals. Most any knowledgeble fan could pick 4 other players that have less potential. These seem like attitude or discipline problems.
ReplyDeleteHoopie-Reports from someone that spoke with one of the players say it is not academics.
ReplyDeletefried shrimp get a little greasy after about 30.
ReplyDeletesnow crab legs i can eat my own weight in. i could single handedly keep the deadliest catch guys in business.
a restaurant owner friend once told me that if you don't eat the butter (or less of it) with the crab, you can eat a lot more. that is how he kept is his all you can eat policy under control...serve lots of butter.
i trust the new staff can replace the departed players with better ones that fit what they want to do. best of luck to them if they are indeed gone.
ReplyDeleteehyou - re: shrimp.... No.
ReplyDeleteback in school days a buddy and I would go to "All you can eat" fried shrimp night at a seafood house near Winston-Salem. They refused to serve us all we could eat. We ate a whole lot. But not all we could have.
I hear that Monica's homeboy 4* DT Jamar Travis has been cleared and will be in Auburn on Saturday! Great news for the DL! At 6-1 300lbs he might see some action this year.
ReplyDeleteThat restaurant owner would cherish my business...gotta dunk crab or lobster in butter...if not..eat Filet or fresh Salmon.
ReplyDeleteIt sure has been nice not having large discipline problems...hope that ain't startin'.
THT that is the same with my brother now. They limit his crab leg intake at the all you can eat chinese place. Its funny because he's like 6-5 170 lbs soaking wet with a pocket full of rocks! I dont know where he puts it.
ReplyDeleteJayGT - I appreciate your fact-based and reference-cited reporting. Those "has learned" reports annoy me.
ReplyDeleteWhen AU was looking for a coach, I had to know RIGHT NOW! This latest saga, I don't really care. Coach Chizik and JayGT will let me know what I need to know about it at the proper time, whenever that may be.
Wonder what the corn dogs starting pitcher's pitch count is? This guy lets somebody on base every inning.
ReplyDeleteif it was discipline problems (and i have no idea) these were xCTT's players. and "discipline" problems could be something like missing workouts or not conforming to the no earring and pulled up pants policy put in place. who knows...
ReplyDeleteif the problem was discipline, it is not any more.
i hate to lose any of the players whose names have surfaced so far. in Chiz i trust!!!
AUBigCat- I like that news! And I really like Jamar Travis, based on the few quotes I heard from him a few months back.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWonder if they didn't abide by the dress/jewelry code (hummm)?
ReplyDeleteJust sayin.
Well, I don't really know what to think about players getting kicked off the team. We haven't had this problem very often, but if it is discipline related, I am glad to see Chizik put his foot down. Like I say, I prefer a disciplined football team and if every member of the starting lineup breaks rules that would get a player kicked off the team, then every starter should be kicked off the team. I have no problem with that.
ReplyDeleteThis may actually have something to do with a concern I expressed the other day about reports of how happy the team is with the new coaches. I wondered why because usually incoming coaches lay down the law, like Pat Dye did when he arrived at Auburn or Spurrier did when he got to South Carolina.
ReplyDeleteI guess I was getting the impression that Chizik hadn't layed down the law. Young people will have a tendency to try push limits when they view authority figures as friends. This may be a case of Chizik recognizing this and finding it necessary to make an example of some players to get it under control.
Cornpups just opened up a can in that inning... How will the Shorthorns respond?
ReplyDeleteChad Jones pitching now for the cornpups...
ReplyDeleteI'm not related to any of these players in question, but I cannot believe Cam Henderson has been (or will be) a behavioral problem.
ReplyDeleteI also have a hard time believing PPL is a behavioral problem.
The other two guys ... I just don't know them at all.
Couldn't one of the coaches call any one of the Auburn reporters and let them know yes or no on the dismissals? I don't mean in-depth details, just a statement to clarify the situation.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who knows Jomarcus Savage and his family and they said he is a very good kid.
ReplyDeleteIn a rare moment of lucidity, I will join my brother Hoopie and decline to invalidly speculate as to the status of any AU players, nor to the reason why any player who is not a player anymore might not be a player anymore.
ReplyDeleteOr something like that.
Personally, I will continue to watch South Park and try to gleem the best reactions from what I see in South Park episodes.
ReplyDeleteThese coaches don't play that way, depressed.
ReplyDeleteTuberville? Yes. He would have handled this more expeditiously. Chizik elects to withhold comment fairly often ... and the assistants almost always defer to Chizik on these matters.
So it's a circle. Speculation leads to unanswered questions leads to speculation. And so on.
JGT deploys his Magic Eraser.
ReplyDeleteJGT = Marvin "The Human Eraser" Webster
ReplyDeleteI do like the idea that questions about player's status should come through Chizik, but it does look like he would release a statement to minimize the rumor mill.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Mike Patrick.
ReplyDelete"Texas needs six runs to tie."
Yes, they do ... if four plus six equals 11.
No correction.
he's obviously aware of the CWS run subtraction rule.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Corn...dogpile. LSU wins.
ReplyDeleteI guess Erin is off duty now.
i always love showing up after jgt uses the eraser. i'm usually pretty sure he saved me a couple of iq points by not having to read and process what was posted.

ReplyDeleteWhat's the story, Morning Glory?
ReplyDeleteMOn-What is the scoop you have heard going on at AU?
ReplyDeleteUSA!
ReplyDeleteSEC!
WVU! TV! PM! HD!
just a random note:
ReplyDeletei flew to chicago monday morning and on my first leg of the flight from mobile to memphis, the classic cousin humper was sitting in front of me in the terminal and on the plane. his attire: dirty houndstooth baseball cap, bammer football XXL t-shirt and a classy tattoo of the bammer elephant logo on his calf. he was with another guy who may have actually been his cousin or, worse yet, his brother. they both looked like mouthbreathers...
i couldn't help but think he was on his way to memphis to drop off a bag of cash. needless to say my hate was boiling over by the time we got to memphis from staring at that stupid hat the whole flight.
if the plane had started to go down, i would have gone out kicking the cr*p out of a bammer as i force fed him that hat.
Good answer, Chip.
ReplyDeleteI got my eye on you.
Chip you crack me up. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteWTC - apparently the same things as y'all. I was hoping to find some confirmation or denial JGT style.
Mon-check your FB for mail.
ReplyDeleteseriously, i couldn't make up that stuff about the bammer on the plane. if i had a phone with a camera i would have got a pic of him for ya'll. it was the bammer equivalent of a male peacock in full display.
ReplyDeleteactually the last peacock i saw in display was at the gulf shores zoo. he was quite agitated at his reflection in the pepsi machine. for all its beauty, the peacock makes an horribly obnoxious sound when defending its territory from its own reflection. i think the peacock is still probably smarter than that bammer...
is it football time yet? i'm talking about freakin' peacocks here! jeez!
chip chip - no, not yet.
ReplyDeleteIt's T-minus 72 days until kickoff, making today
JACK THORNTON DAY! WARRRRR EAGLE!!!
Good ol' #72 was another of those great run-stuffing All-American Auburn defensive linemen, playing for Shug in 1963-65.
GO TIGERS!!!
Google map directions only knows surface travel, so to get from Honolulu to the mainland invariably includes the following step:
ReplyDelete15. Kayak across the Pacific Ocean
Entering Washington
2,756 mi
I found that out while calculating the travel distance for those poor Hawai'i Warriors this fall.
ReplyDeleteThey have 3 consecutive road games that will total ~20,000 miles, assuming they fly home after each game.
Pullman, WA
Las Vegas, NV
Ruston, LA
Can you imagine trying to get to Pullman or Ruston from Honolulu. I suppose the players are young enough to handle it, but I bet it's really tough on the coaches.
my current bammer hate level!
ReplyDeleteit could reach an all time high by the end of the week. the actual number is truly difficult to quantify, but this is a fairly accurate assessment.
Is it too early to say that this can't be good?
ReplyDeleteI claim this blog and blame the frenchie.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Hotties! We just need to get through today...
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Auburn can whoop up on some redneck WVU arse this year!!! I also hope that Auburn fans can show WVU fans what "class" is all about and not yell obscenities at them while they are walking to the stadium.
Time to hit the road; this is the long commute day. Luv, I love your attitude! WAR EAGLE!!!
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle, Tar Heel! Be safe on your journey today!
ReplyDeleteoh, before I skeedaddle... did someone give me a name for #64? If so, I forgot to write it down. Help!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know much at all about Auburn football history. The only person I can find is Tim Castro. I don't know if he is even worthy of having a day named after him.
ReplyDeleteMorning Hotties - I'm boarding a plane this morning bound for Vancouver, WA until Tuesday. Work will likely keep me rather busy given the purpose of the trip. So, in my absence please keep up the good work because I'll be checking in as time allows.
ReplyDeleteKeep Hate Alive.
Have a safe trip, Norm!
ReplyDeleteMy buddy in B'ham just sent me a pic of the car in front of him. UAT vanity plate "ITGURU". That is off the douchebaggery scale.
ReplyDeleteehyhou, I saw this UAT vanity plate the other day: LEFANT
ReplyDeleteIf I had an AU vanity plate, it would definitely read H8UAT
ReplyDeleteIt's been a couple of weeks since I was at this site...and they still haven't fixed the refrigerator. I'm going to find some ice.
ReplyDeleteSo, Luv, you're saying Tim Castro was 64? That works for me.
I know there was a 64 on OL in '82, but I'm not sure who it was.
HAPPY JACK THORNTON DAY, btw.
ehyou - that's funny because a buddy of mine sent me a pic of a plate in Alabama that reads "NODROPS"
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how a little winning brings them all out from under their rocks. Fair weather fans in general annoy me. UAT fair weather fans? Well, I think hate is an apt description of my feelings.
ReplyDeleteMon...
ReplyDeleteNow that's a vanity plate I wouldn't mind being stuck behind.
Totally agree, ehyou. One of the few things I'll miss when I move to Alabama is my vanity plate that reads "WAREAGLE".
ReplyDeleteGlad someone brought up vanity plates, cause I need some ideas. My current AU plate reads 3 GENS, for our 3 generations that have gone to Auburn. Kind of lame, I know, but I like it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my new car should be here by Monday and I need a new plate. Suggestions?
Morning all! I understand "WAREAGLE" and "NODROPS"...makes perfect sense... but would someone please explain those UAT vanity plates to me?????????
ReplyDeleteMon...
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that one may be taken in AL. Just a guess.
Being limited to 5 characters makes it tough.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that PM jumped the gun and got wrong information? No one else is reporting ANYTHING about 4 players being dismissed from the team.

Comin up with plates is impossible. All of the good ones are taken since there are only 5 letter/number slots. I used to have "RLTMR" (Roll Toomer's), but since everyone seemed to think it looked more like Real Timer, I changed it to 2M3RS (Toomer's).

I still don't have anything to report about this attrition situation.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a confirmed set of facts. Again, I suspect something has occurred given the shiftiness of the off-the-record answers I've heard, but I can't yet refute what P-Marsh has written.
My opinion: The "facts" will "change" as this story develops.
JayGT - thanks for reporting only facts, and not "facts." The latter are of no interest to me.
ReplyDeleteI tried AU>UA and got the message, invalid character.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't very accommodating, are they, Cincy?
ReplyDeleteWhat up gang? I had an interesting experience at Turner Field last night. I could have sworn it was a Braves home game but I felt like stepped inside and got transported to the Bronx. Not a good experience.
ReplyDeleteIf you saw this,would you know what it is? I am not going to use it, but it is available.

ReplyDeleteLOL, THT. That confirms that I don't want to use it. I was thinking "Never Yield"

ReplyDeleteBy the way, Both Marlon Brown and Justin Maclin are from Memphis, TN.
I think NCAA should just ban teams from recruiting anyone from Memphis area.
Aeronaut, even better catch. I was going to make the comment but I wanted to see if any of the others could make the connection. You win!
ReplyDeleteThat facebook is going to lead to someone getting put on major probation, I just hope we're not doing anything similar.

ReplyDeleteThe Facebook thing by Marlon Brown is reportedly a fake and UGA officials are currently looking into it. Furthermore, rumors in Auburn say that PPL is transferring to MTSU to reunite with Franklin. Henderson and Savage were being disrespectful and acting up in class so they just got a slap on the wrist and are still on the team. Thompson appears to be an academic casualty. Also heard Dax might be leaving the team as well. Take it for what its worth...
ReplyDeleteHow do you fake a facebook post?
ReplyDeleteAuburn is back on ESPN CFB front page.
ReplyDeleteWell.. its a picture of mount cody about to crush monadnock / hill Kodi.

Of course, UGA will say it's a fake. But really, could it be? Oh wait, I bet someone stole his ID and Pass and posted that.
