All we have are the embers

Thanks for doing your part in making our Thursday night Campfire an overwhelming success.

We had a total of 218 participants, which is a significant increase from Wednesday's event. Thanks for that.

We discussed the new verb "chizzing", a fake Lache Seastrunk was banhammered for nebulous offenses, wino said Auburn will go 10-2 and everyone seemed to agree that more commitments from good prospects would be a good thing to experience.

All in all, I call that a success.

Gene Chizik is the first speaker tomorrow. Since I'll be following him around and talking with AC and Trott, I can't say exactly when blog posts will resume. I plan to have stuff up no later than 9 a.m. and we'll go from there.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: "Hatin' With Jay G" will resume tomorrow on Supersport 930 AM out of Jackson, Miss. I am supposed to hit the airwaves/internet at 7:30 in the a.m.

  5. Caught the tail end of the campfire. Hard to believe we are closing in on the end of July. Have we picked a game for a Hottie Meet & Greet?

  6. I mean, that movie (Quantum of Solace) was really well done. You guys should all go rent it. Can't wait to catch a campfire soon!

    Looking forward to JGT's coverage tomorrow!

  8. It's Friday morning here!

    T-minus 43 days til kickoff!

    HAPPY JAMES OWENS DAY!!!

    James Owens played on the 1971 team with Sullivan and Beasley, and was an integral part of the 1972 Amazins. Mr. Owens was the 1st African-American Auburn football player (and 2nd African-American athlete at Auburn, the first being roundballer Henry Harris one year earlier). Perhaps the courage it took to be that person is why I admired him so much when I was a kid. The first time I got to see him play was his sophomore year, in a 44-0 Auburn romp at Clemson on October 10, 1970.

    WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!
    GO TIGERS!!!

  10. What time does chiz go on? I'm gonna miss it due to games...I have some pretty awesome news I'll share with yall tomorrow

  11. Matt. I have mixed feelings about Quantum of Solace. They are rapidly moving from the Ian Flemming's James Bond to Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne duplicate.

    The movie, overall was fun, with exciting action sequences and controversial slant. I guess the bond fans have matured?

  12. And Happy James Owens day.

  13. Aero & jhag - I don't think y'all ever sleep.

    Good morning Hotties! Luv, please remind me, what day is it?

    I'll be leaving shortly to spend the day with Bernie in a HABOTN-deprived environment :-(

    Keep Hate Alive, War Eagle, Go Tigers, etc etc

  14. To me day 43 has to be Alex Lincoln day.

  15. I think I'd like to see us romp someone again 44-0. Happy James Owens day!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Well, according to Coach Luper we should expect a commitment today and 6/7 more over the next ten days. Should be interesting and it seems that kids are already committed, but just playing out as the coaching staff wants them to.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I would have taken us 3 or 4 games to get to 44 last year.

    If we had a good team and played Clemson in the Tub era, it would have never gotten to 44-0. Tub would have slammed on the brakes at 21-0 and we would have held on to win 24-10 or something.

  18. Eddie,

    Maybe all the sizzle they have given us about recruiting will start paying off.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Good morning, Hotties! So sorry I missed the campfire last night. Sounds like a good time was had by all.

    Eddie, I do so hope you are correct. I love hearing good news!

  20. dude, i am so rectangular. back-to-back campfires missed. stupid anniversary and 2nd job! gggrrr...

    happy James Owens day! hey, someone needs to Facebook Ladarius and let him know we're honoring his uncle today on the HABOTN. well, i'd hate to 'Secondarily Violate' and tick off Mike Slive. nah, go for it.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hey Scottie,
    Did you remember my shirt today?

    ReplyDelete
  22. And be careful putting stupid in front of anniversary, wives don't consider them stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  23. yup, i sure did Cincy. it'll be in the mail this afternoon.

    i should be more careful i guess. been feeling a bit reckless lately. maybe it's Media Days.

    ReplyDelete
  24. RK- According to Coach Luper, some of those future commitments will be 5 stars that we are familiar with. Take it for what it's worth, but I do put some credence to it.

  25. has anyone tried the link for this radio station JG's going to be on? i can't seem to find an audio link from their website. maybe i'm just caffeine deprived.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thank you so much, Scottie!

    ReplyDelete
  27. i guess you have to listen to the archives by podcast. no 'live' link? i am having the worst luck with live audio/video this week.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Off to elliptical. Trying to decide what game to watch today. Sure makes elliptical time go by quickly!

    ReplyDelete
  29. i've got to work tomorrow so i'm taking a half day today and hitting the gym. morning workouts kill me.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Scottie,

    There is a listen live option on their page. It has some static, but I'm listening right now.

    ReplyDelete
  31. It's right above the "morning vent" logo in blue.

    ReplyDelete
  32. ok, Google Chrome is the problem. i opened it up in Internet Explorer and all is well. whew! thanks Cincy.

  33. A summer without arrests for Nutt is actually a record, at Arkansas it happened all the time.

    One year at Media days one of the players they selected to represent the football program and the university, Cedric Cobbs, didn't make it because he was in jail.

    Good morning all!!

    I was told to prepare for something early this morning. That being said, jhag drops the bomb he has news but had to go?

    And no one asked what it was?

    ReplyDelete
  35. AU1- I think the be here early comment was misconstrued from Luper comments about the commitment that we may receive. We should still receive the commitment according to Luper, just maybe not "early".

    Well that would make a bit more sense. I am looking for some noise in the next few days.

  37. Glad to hear the return of "Hatin with Jay G. Tate" today, but their internet broadcast is greatly distorted.

    ReplyDelete
  38. nice hatin' segment JGT. loved the Chris Rock reference. i wore out that comedy cd back in college.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Coach Chiz sounds a little like George W. Bush over the radio.

    ReplyDelete
  40. So what times does Chiz kick this thing off today?

    ReplyDelete
  41. 9:30 our time RK I believe.

    ReplyDelete
  42. 3 cheers for Eastern Time.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Chiz sounded like he was in a good mood today. It was interesting to hear him talk about the resiliency of this team being the thing he was most impressed with.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Where did you hear Chiz talk Mon?

    Also, new thread up.
