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.

  • 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."

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.

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.

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!

11:05 AM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

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.

11:08 AM  
Blogger JD said...

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!

11:08 AM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't know Big Head Todd. May I assume that since they were playing with ABB, they are worth checking out?

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.

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!

4:01 PM

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!

4:06 PM

I'll probably head to Macon sometime soon after it opens.

I'm going to see them in Birmingham in October.

4:07 PM

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.

4:16 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

by lately, I'm guessing you mean less than 31 years ago. Nope, not me.

4:17 PM

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.

4:32 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Love these billboards! Especially because they have the bammers' panties all in a wad.

Oops, I said panties twice in one day!

4:45 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

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!

Don't hate on Cincy...one never knows when one might be in an accident and need a snack.

5:02 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

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.

5:13 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

Our chocolates have not been stored in panties at any time.

5:14 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

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?

5:15 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

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?

5:21 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Just swapped my neighbor a box of Nutty Bars for a watermelon. That takes care of that!

5:30 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

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.

5:31 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

does he know where those bars have been?

5:32 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

Watermelons don't fit in panties as well.

5:32 PM  
Blogger BinOBA said...

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

5:35 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

cincy- check that watermelon for penis-sized holes

5:35 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

boys, boys, boys

5:36 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Scott,
In order not to bore the whole group, should I send email to the one listed on your profile?

5:38 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

Harrison, the higher-alcohol beer must have reached Auburn. Either that or you you've recently been to Columbus.

5:39 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

Cincy - yes, please. I'm about to leave for the day, so I'll respond to your e-mail tomorrow.

5:40 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

we have started getting some in the last couple of weeks. it's pretty nice.
sadly, i am not drinking any right now

5:41 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

I'm going to have a few tonight. A buddy of mine left a small selection at my house Saturday night.

5:42 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

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

5:43 PM

j-z,

We are going to the Saturday Allman Bros show in B-ham.

5:47 PM

home sweet home. I'm about to have sweet corn, green beans, fried okra, and not sure what else. All panty-free! YUM!!!

6:08 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Off to play Bunko. Y'all behave while I'm gone!

6:19 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

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)
