A little Tuesday stream of consciouness
Hey everyone. I have completed the pre-edited version of my Gene/Jonna Chizik opus, which you'll be reading sometime in August. It has dominated my professional life for the past few days. Thanks for sticking with the HABOTN despite a relative dearth of useful information.
In lieu of legit news, let's just roll in free-form mode.

In lieu of legit news, let's just roll in free-form mode.
- Check out the pic! Everyone's favorite secretary from "The Office" and official HOTTIE Jenna Fischer participated in the All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball game last night on ESPN. I was happy.
- We talk often here about credibility. Here's another example of why we care. The sleuths over at BleacherReport.com "reported" on Sunday that Califorina junior college DE Joel Bonomolo committed to Auburn. Since the site doesn't credit another news outlet for this information, we are supposed to believe they scooped the world. One problem: Bonomolo hasn't committed.
Will he commit? That's what our friends at AuburnSports, AuburnUndercover and ITAT believe. They think it'll happen soon.
Still, it sounds like "SECSportsHub.com", aka University of Florida junior Thomas M. Goldkamp, made a little mistake there. Crediting your sources might be a good idea in the future, kid. - You all saw the video I posted last week from the new basketball arena. What you don't know is how flabbergasted I am about the whole project. That building is going to be something special and, honestly, I didn't think Auburn had the guts to dedicate $90 million toward an athletic facility that doesn't involve football.
- Jonna Chizik is a trip. She's definitely a Type A personality and someone most fans are going to enjoy as her profile rises. She said a bunch of funny stuff in my 45-minute interview with The Chiziks last month.
On her relationship with Gene: "He likes to say I hit the lottery when we met. I just let him think that. I'd hate to hurt his ego."

1!!!!!!!
I think I would enjoy prison if they would let me have HABOTN there.
Sweet "new" pic from the hospital, Taylor.
DL? Are you ok?
smell that... it's the crisp smell of a new thread.
i fell asleep last nite and missed Jenna in the softball game. shame on me. dadgum eastern time zone!!!!
JayGT - I'm looking forward to your opus. Behind every great coach is a greater woman.
thanks jay g. I can send you a few in email if you want.
Sorry, but here is a shameless plug for the new podcast that I will be co-hosting with Jay Skipworth (Sensi to most here) that starts tomorrow night regarding Auburn Football. Please go to my blog to get the details:
Auburn Football Insider Podcast
Rule One: Always check your sources
Yeah I didn't think at that time it was a totally done deal boy.
But it sounds like this is something that's going to happen, eventually.
Oh yeah I LOVE AUBURN and THE HABOTN
and I Hate Bama
The End
uh-oh, Sensi and Eddie....together.
I got the impression that Andy Richter was trying to get in good with Jenna Fischer last night since he dropped two sure outs on her. I don't blame him at all.
I'm so bored! I better find something to do or I am going to go spend money.
Cincy -that's too funny! Why don't you drive around looking for a moving van and offer to help out?
Checking sources? What is that?
All they care about is generating traffic to their site.
Yeah Scottie, it will be a wild ride.
THT,
Bite your tongue! I am recovering until I have to move my niece the middle of August.
Cincy, you have to admit, though, that it was pretty funny.
The HABOTN, it should be noted officially, is pro-Auburn Football Insider.
Yeah, Luv, the sad thing is I really do love helping people move. Organizing people and stuff is my hobby.
Thanks Jay G!!!!!
I fixed the last thread.
Luv,
Have you heard anything on Geno?
Michael,
I was bored, so I helped.
The tech said she'd have a better idea of what was going on after 11:00. I hope they do his surgery this afternoon 'cause we're ready to have that little guy back home. Tomorrow it will be a week since we took him back; two weeks since the infamous attack.
Thank you for your assistance, cincy. No one likes to do things all alone.
Well, some things are best done all alone, but we won't go into that.
I'm so bored I am considering setting up a Facebook account.
No, Cincy, don't do it!
I should go do extra time on the elliptical for that Nutty Bar I just ate. The ones my evil sister left at my house. I have tons of will power if it's not here to eat, but no will power if it is in my panty.
panty=pantry oops!
This comment has been removed by the author.
hehehehehe.....
Eddie,
You should open up your show tomorrow confirming the report from the Alabama message forums last week that Jay G. took a bribe from Chizik to take down an article on Rollison.
In these uncertain economic times, rk, can you blame him if he did? Receiving bribes from coaches is a great way to make some extra money for a reporter.
That's true, come to think of it, I do recall seeing a page pop up and disappear last week.
Where there is smoke...
I think Sensi and Eddie might as well state it as fact, maybe they can get a little scratch from Chizik themselves as well to retract the comments.
RK- Love it. We promise to stir the pot with bama hate. This show maynot be suited for FSJ :)!!!
Cincy, I'm the same way. If it's there, I think I need to eat it. If it's not, I'm fine.
Wow Cincy..awesome typo. I can't stop giggling
Who is Sensi?
She said "panty" ... heh.heh.heh.heh.
Crisis!
Today was the day freshmen could purchase season tickets. The system was overloaded. By the time, we got through, they were out.
No season tickets for ElTurbo! This is a crisis.
Cincy, I bet you'll never make that typo again! LOL
I try to be so careful...
Mobilz in the hezzy
yep, the gentleman in me, despite being only a tiny fraction, has compelled me not to make crude jokes. But I'm still giggling, too!
Jet. One of the women I work with daughter had the same problem this morning
Jet,
The same thing happened to Tyler his freshman year. We were able to get some, but not all. He always found friends who weren't going to the game and used their tickets. When we get into the season let me know if he hasn't found a ticket and I will put Tyler on the case.
Wow Jet, that sucks. I had a friend who forgot to get tickets one time, and he had to beg for tickets every week.
So did el Turbo decide not to do marching band? Didn't he consider it?
CGC likes to say he hit the lotto I like to say that I out punted my coverage when referring to my wife.
The fact that is was a "nutty bar" that was discovered also made it better.
You're such a gentleman, THT.
JD, i think my wife signaled "Fair Catch" and muff the punt!
I must be, or more likely, just plain stupid. I couldn't even think of a crude joke.
Jet-Daughter got her ticket this AM.
Cincy-I ahve to move my daughter to AU two eeks from today. You should be rested by then. And possibly have that nutty buddy out of your panty by then.
Jet,
I would also keep tying to order online. Just put a tickler on your calendar to check everyday. Unbelievably, some orders will be cancelled because a student decides not to enroll in the fall and they cancel their tickets before the deadline. You may hit at the right time. We know others who tried this and did get tickets.
ElTurbo decided against band in order to be a maniacal student in the stands, where, as of now, he won't be.
But I have faith his ability to adapt: when life gives him lemons, he makes chicken salad.
Jet-did I rub it in enough. SHE GOT HER TICKETS.
I will remind you later if you uforget.
Jet,
there in lies the problem.... you can't get an animal from a fruit....lol
WTC ...
You can say it to me all you wish. Say it to him, and he'll go Chaz Ramsey on your patella.
They always say when you get married, be the ugly one. I made sure I was the ugly one.
I guess that makes the wtc family bigger Auburn fans than the Jet family.
I see a budding romance between wtc's daughter and elturbo...
love and football
as american as...cheese and hamburgers
WTC,
Where is she moving? Didn't y'all buy a condo or am I thinking of someone else?
Moving into the dorm Kathryn's sophomore year was such fun. There were people from different churches there to help with move in. I'll never forget the look on their faces when I told them that all the stuff packed into 2 cars, 2 pickup trucks and one minivan was all going to one dorm room! They didn't believe it would all fit, but I am an organizing specialist!
Macho ...
They went to school together for years ... both are highly involved with others.
WTC's daughter is quite the catch.
ElTurbo is someone's nightmare. Currently mine. And that of "Special K," his girlfriend of nearly 4 years.
Michael ...
Well played. Ice cold. But well played.
Kenny Rogers said it - love will turn you around
Except in bombing runs...there's not turning around from those
Macho ...
How's your old friend, George Zipp?
Cincy did you really mean "tickler"? You might want to back away from the keyboard.
Cincy-We rented a condo for this year. I would call it an apartment but the owner calls it a condo.
Jet-Mrs. WTC actually got up and bought the tix this morning. It was pretty early for her to get going before 9:00am. Her and daugher don't know the clock passes 9:00 twice each day, if you know what I mean.
Heads up to all of you about to get sticker shock buying college textbooks.
I go to University Bookstore's website and write down ISBNs for all of Tyler's books and then go online and order them from Amazon (usually). The difference in cost is insane. For example, his Quality Assurance for Engineers book is $160 + tax new, $120 + tax used at campus bookstore, $66.44 no tax, free shipping at Amazon. We have saved thousands of dollars over the past few years with two kids' college books - especially engineering!
WTC,
I know what you mean about apartment/condo. Ours seems like an apartment, but we own it so it is a condo. Best investment we have ever made. Glenn Oaks Condominiums right on West Glenn, 1 block to campus. We're thinking of selling it when (or if) Tyler graduates and buying one of the ones on Magnolia right across from Lowder to use for gamedays.
Yes Cincy that is the way I did it. I do not suggest doing the ebay thing though as one year I ordered a book off of Ebay and it came shipped from China about halfway through the semester and was the teachers edition. Which didn't matter because I had to buy one from the bookstore at full price.
I did end up able to return the book since it did not come as advertised and got my money back...about 6 months later!
We have ordered many, many books and only had one problem. The professor changed the book from the one listed on the bookstore site. But the Amazon seller was great - took the book back and shipped out the corrected one with expedited shipping at no additional charge. I am amazed at how much we have saved. I do stick pretty much with Amazon sellers who have a 98% or better rating. You can get even cheaper, but there is a limit to how much risk I am willing to take.
Do for the Zipper
I want to know more about the Auburn Football Insider radio thing before I commit to listening.
Details?
I have not posted for some time and noticed there are new people.
New people....first welcome, second, ask Michael about his goats. He loves when people ask.
That is all for now.
WDE!!
I was an RA in the dorms one year, which was fun. Not only did my residents do basically whatever they wanted, I went the extra mile and taught them a few new tricks.
I was the coolest RA ever. I know because they told me so.
ehyou,
I don't think you were my daughter's RA. She had an RA nazi!
AU1N04 - howdy. How are the Caps doing on the free agent market?
The Pens lost one of the very best defensemen in the NHL (Scuderi)who is now making gobs of $ in LA. Bill Guerin signed for another year at less than half his prior salary, enabling Pens to resign Fedotenko.
There was an RA nazi one floor below me. He was an incarnation of Douglas Neidermayer.
I wish there had been an Amazon for me to order books from in the mid 90's, books were insanely expensive then, I can only imagine how much they are now.
Too bad I didn't know an Alabama football player with scholarship money to buy my books for me.
Or sell you cocaine
THT - It has been very quiet on the Caps front. Re-signed one guy and brought in 2 free agents. Nope, the big splash was Ovie and the MVP.
I ordered my books used online, but like someone mentioned earlier, one time I got one about a month and a half into the semester. But overall, it saves you a lot of money.
It does make me feel bad for the local bookstores, though.
Michael - don't worry about the local bookstores. I'll buy a few extra magnets and t-shirts this fall.
$25-$55 dollar shirts and hoodies don't make me shed a tear for bookstores.
Agreed, WERK.
Sorry, Michael, I can't feel too sorry for them. You buy a $160 new engineering book, use it for a semester, sell it back for $22.18 and they resell it as used for $120. That is some bad math.
And for every student that will go to the trouble to buy online, 50 just plunk it down at the bookstore.
Jay, I am also surprised that AU spent the big bucks on a new basketball arena. What is your take on the (90)million-dollar question- is the new arena going to make a big difference to the basketball program?
If you build it, they will come.
Does "they" = the 2K that usually come to a game or does "they" = a new found following of Auburn hoops?
Who knows? We may all shift allegiance to bball if Lebo keeps winning and Chiz & Co. epic fail as predicted.
WERK,
May depend on how much they are going to charge. My in-laws have been scholarship donors for the last couple of years and gone to every home game. There are rumors that the scholarship donation is going to go through the roof. They and many of their friends won't continue to buy scholarship seats if they price them out of the place.
Jenna doesn't interest me but I am loving some Jonna Chizik!! She is a true southern woman who knows how to work her man!
jet, don't worry there will be plenty of upper classmen that sell their tickets......just have to find someone that will trust you with their ID
Gene Chizik has an ego?
That's news.
Not many 5-19 coaches with one of those.
ouch! Funny, but ouch!
Anyone else have a gnat flying around their face?
My mistake, just an Auburn wannabe. Why else would he spend so much time over here?
Ok, so maybe I was too acerbic. Perhaps I should eat another Nutty Bar to sweeten up?
Sounds like a good idea to me, Cincy! Did you know they make 100-Calorie Nutty Bars?
Does that mean I can eat 4 of them?
LOL
It's a good thing I don't have too many days like this where I have nothing to do - I get into too much trouble. Nutty bars, typos, ugly remarks. Sure is boring trouble - I need to find some exciting trouble to get into. Might have to go to the Galleria.
You might get into too much trouble there, Cincy. In a few minutes, I'm going home and taking a nap!
Luv,
That's a great idea. I never get to take a nap. Have you heard anything on Geno?
Jet,
A few tips to find tickets for young El Turbo.
1) As someone has already said, check back periodically during the day and there may be some available. I am a senior, but did not get my Tennessee away ticket my first go round, but I checked back later and it was there. I still don't have my Georgia, but I digress.
2)Check with billing office in Mary Martin and they will let you know when the bill for tickets are due and when they intend to drop classes AND tickets of those students not paying the bill. Wait like a hawk and try as soon as they say that their schedules and tickets are dropped.
3)In year's past, Auburn has offered mini season tickets to students that did not get tickets. Check with the ticket office for that info. It isn't all of them, but getting some should cut down on costs when trying to buy all of the games from other students.
4) Check on facebook. There are several groups dedicated to the buying and selling of tickets.
Good Luck to him.
If Chizik is the disaster they claim him to be, why do the bammers spend so much time insulting him? Hell, I was president of the "I Llke Mike" fan club when Shula was at the crapstone.
Just that his surgery will be sometime this afternoon.
Read Tony Barnharts blog at the ajc today.
He has Auburn finishing 4th in the west and said most of the football mags have the same thing.
Listened to Rivals radio today and most callers agreed. So we have a ways to go. It doesnt take long to lose respect. Mainly because we have no answer at QB I believe is the reason. Most say we have talent, just alot of questions. Which I dont disagree with. All we can do is prove them wrong. So we will see.
In this day and age, we really don't need to stay around the middle or bottom of the SEC long. We can't let an Ole Miss replace us in the traditional big 6 in the SEC because it's a long hard climb back up.
RK, just reading those words makes my heart hurt. Auburn....in the bottom 6 of the SEC? well i never heard of such! please God make that thought go away!
I think 95 or so % of the SEC titles belong to Auburn, LSU, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee & Alabama.
We have to stay in that group.
word.
looks like Seastrunk is back in AU this weekend with his mom. it'll be his 3rd trip this summer. not bad.
Bonomolo will be visiting with his family (from New Orleans).
SCE Pre-season prognostications are hardly ever accurate. Most fans still haven't realized such and get too upset when the team "underachieves" or too giddy when the team "overachieves" according to the prognostications. I can't understand why these fans aren't able to learn from their "mistakes".
Rest assured....I'll continue to snicker at and occasionally ridicule them. Refusal to learn from mistakes deserves ridicule.
Depressed: Surely that arena will have a short-term, positive impact on the health of both baseketball programs.
Adding to that surge is the key.
WDCWE: That's what I'm talking about! News you (or he) can use.
How many seasons will Lebo get to coach in the new arena?
My plans are eroding. Wifey maneuvered me into attending her cousin's daughter's wedding in Auburn this weekend. This was a source of dread until I heard about the incoming recruits. I'm thinkin'...hey let's take a bunch of TP..just in case there's and "impromptu" secondary violation-type Tommer's rolling.
Sounds good...except now the structurally complicated Boy Scout Hut construction that I'm voluntarily helping with, is behind schedule and can't proceed unless I'm there. The good news...no wedding....bad news...no Toomers or chance at recruit stalking.
There's a decision looming.
sounds tough Hoopie. i say hut construction, with a lunch trip to Momma G's (and you just have to drive through campus to get there) and then a separate trip to escape the hot summer sun to get lemonade at Toomer's (TP stowed discretely in the back seat).
you can do it. make us proud.
I would LOVE to be in Auburn this weekend, even if I didn't find big events going on. I'm awfully tempted to make a 1000 mile road trip Friday night/Saturday. I say we roll Toomer's at 7 pm Saturday in honor of July 18. Or a slightly late Bastille Day celebration. Let's spread the word!!!
Bastille Day!!
La guillotine will gain her bloody prize!
I bought a guillotine on e-bay but had to return it. The neighborhood assocation said it was against our by-laws. I tried to have them all be-headed, but apparantly thats against some laws too
Harrison, it can only be against the by-laws if it's in the front yard. So get it back, put it in the back yard, and put it to use! Any bammers in your neighborhood?
Neighborhood associations are downright communist.
I frequently ask the heads of mine if they know what the letters "FO" stand for.
Joyeux jour de Bastille!!!
Salsa Shark = Cobra Commander
I have read many things and don't know what to think.
Bonomolo will commit but is getting double checked. And that this weekend will be some huge event?
Anyone have any insight or thoughts?
tht- i live in auburn, so i hope not. but i'm sure there's one sleazing up my neighborhood somewhere
You know what's funny about neighborhood associations? It seems they get even madder when you try to explain that the guillotine will not be used on humans, just cats.
Or puppets, Michael
Indeed, it is a great way to kill puppets. The clean cut also makes it quite possible to sew your hand back on. That's why a lot of places sell guillotines and coolers together at a discount.
I miss football. Bad.
i used mine to shave
I miss football so bad that I'm sitting here drawing out a bracket for a 128 team playoff to determine the national championship next year. My initial thought is that this will extend college football season to 11 months. Who's in?
j-z, I'm even missing bad football
As long as Bama is exclude on principle, I'm in.
Harrison - I bet under the chin is the tricky part
I'm so glad to live in a neighborhood without an association.
All neighborhood associations are evil.
I'm looking forward to football season so much I'm already depressed thinking about it being over and having to endure another offseason in '10.
I'm with you ehyou. I think it may be 12 step time for me.
BTW...with your love of all things Allman, I met my wife at an Allman Brothers-Big Head Todd show at Oak Mountain. We had seats next to each other.
I even watched the replay of the AU-Vandy game last Saturday just to get a fix.
It has convinced me that Chris Todd should be the starter.
Last week on my lunch break I went and found the place where Duane wrecked his motorcycle. It's on Hillcrest Ave. Based on the description of the truck and the location, I think the truck was pulling into Marshall Lumber, which is still there.
Birmingham City Council has just passed a resolution to begin ground breaking on a domed stadium.
J-Z...
I don't know Big Head Todd. May I assume that since they were playing with ABB, they are worth checking out?
Bittersweet - great BHT song
Resignation Superman is also solid
Ehyou,
It looks like in December they are finally opening The Big House up to the public as the Allman Brothers Museum.
I'm a huge fan myself.
For the uninitiated
Bittersweet
Sounds good. I was disappointed in the size of his head, it appeared pretty normal.
Yeah, but the Monsters are really spooky.
Macho Grande,
I watched the replay of that game as well. All it convinced me was that Kodi Burns is not the guy and our offensive line better have made huge strides in the off season!
WERK...
I'm guessing funding issues, but they've been working on the museum for quite some time. Glad to hear it's finally opening.
Jet - That sucks that you won't be in the Gump this week. It's looking like I'm going to drive down on Thursday.
I can't WAIT for the Mr. and Mrs. Chiz interview from Jay G. He's such a tease!
I'll probably head to Macon sometime soon after it opens.
I'm going to see them in Birmingham in October.
We may go to the show in October too. We're trying to decide if we're going to take the kids. You going 1st night or second?
Jet,
My sister (an incoming freshman at AU) was able to snag season tix this morning. Sorry to hear that ElTurbo wasn't able to.
Has anybody taken the GRE lately? I took it 16 years ago, but apparently that's not good enough for AUM.
by lately, I'm guessing you mean less than 31 years ago. Nope, not me.
but if, by GRE, you meant Guillotining Red Elephants, Harrison can give you some pointers.
Auburn billboards are spreading!
My brother and I took our sons to the Southern League All-Star Game last night. It was a lot of fun, but boy, did those Biscuits pitchers stink up the joint. They gave up 6 runs in a 7-0 loss for the South All-Stars.
Love these billboards! Especially because they have the bammers' panties all in a wad.
Oops, I said panties twice in one day!
You know why there so upset that it gets there panties in a wad? Cause now they don't have a place to put their Nutty Bars!
oops *there=they're
and there=their
HA! tht stinks at typing too.
or more correctly, stinks at homonyms
Did Cincy say she had Nutty Bars in her panties????????????
not that there's anything wrong with that
I am pumped up !!!!
I just saw Cody Parkey highlight reel on youtube. The guy can kick the ball. etc.
Six o'clock and time to rock.
a la casa tout de suite
ciao!
Don't hate on Cincy...one never knows when one might be in an accident and need a snack.
Cincy - If you're still bored tonight come to Cantina's and meet me, my sister and another friend for dinner and adult beverages. If you can't make it for dinner you can just bring desert with ya. Since ya have those Nutty Bars and all.
:-)
Mon, if you get a chance while you're in B'ham, feel free to stop by Chocolate Graphics.
Our chocolates have not been stored in panties at any time.
ooh, Monica, I would love to do that, but I am committed to my big game of Bunko tonight! Must go donate my money, seeing as how I never win. Which one are going to, the one down by Pepper Place or Hwy 119? Or is there another one?
Scott,
I may need to talk to you about some chocolate. Does your company ever do programs for local groups? I am the president of New Neighbors of Birmingham and one of the program topics i have on my list is chocolate! I had been given the name of a chocolate shop, which I won't mention, but I haven't contacted them yet. We usually have about 25 for a luncheon at Riverchase Country Club once a month. Any chance your company would be interested in presenting information to us about your product or is that too small of a group?
Just swapped my neighbor a box of Nutty Bars for a watermelon. That takes care of that!
Cincy, I have done that before. That is not too small of a group. Just let me know if you'd like me to do that.
does he know where those bars have been?
Watermelons don't fit in panties as well.
Just be sure to put the watermelon in front of your pants and not the back. I'll also have to say if you are inclined to rock some Drive by Truckers the new cd/dvd of the austin city limits show is worth the 13.99
cincy- check that watermelon for penis-sized holes
boys, boys, boys
Scott,
In order not to bore the whole group, should I send email to the one listed on your profile?
Harrison, the higher-alcohol beer must have reached Auburn. Either that or you you've recently been to Columbus.
Cincy - yes, please. I'm about to leave for the day, so I'll respond to your e-mail tomorrow.
we have started getting some in the last couple of weeks. it's pretty nice.
sadly, i am not drinking any right now
I'm going to have a few tonight. A buddy of mine left a small selection at my house Saturday night.
that's either a really good friend or a dumb guy.
Mellow Mushroom and Wine by Gus are the only ones that have them so far as i can tell
What did he leave you
j-z,
We are going to the Saturday Allman Bros show in B-ham.
home sweet home. I'm about to have sweet corn, green beans, fried okra, and not sure what else. All panty-free! YUM!!!
Off to play Bunko. Y'all behave while I'm gone!
Cincy - If you're still here we'll be at the Pepper Place location. My friend owns them and I've never been. Can't wait to check it out and sample their margarita's
Scott - I would LOVE to stop by your Chocolate Factory! I'll see if I can work that into my babycentric itinerary. (Cincy - Scott's choc's are so yummy and GORGEOUS. White Choc was my fave)
Left Coast Norm would really be an asset right now.
THT,
I have been traveling and not all planes have WIFI...
HEY DL! War Eagle!
business or pleasure?
try one of those planes with the retractable roof; you'll get better reception
