Brandon Jacobs: Officially gone
That's a wrap on Brandon Jacobs' college plans.According to Baseball America:
Tenth-round pick Brandon Jacobs has agreed to terms on a $750,000 bonus with the Red Sox. He’s expected to sign with Boston once he passes a physical today. His deal is the largest bonus after the eighth round this year, and $600,000 more than MLB’s max recommendation for bonuses after the fifth round.
Good for him. Cash money is good money in my book.

YES....its been awhile...id like to thank Harrison and Mon for the recent post keeping me looking for responses.
That's Onterrio McCalebb fast!
I haven't gotten a first post in quite awhile. I was pretty close on this one though.
does mine not count due to lack of substance?
Not a lot of substantial substance there, Nugget.
i forgot about that rule. got overzealous.
Nugget, you get a 1/2 for unsubstantial firsties.
so selfish. just think would he could have done for the team and the fans.
But the question mark makes you think.
I saw on teh last thread rk said we didn't play any home night games in '04... wasn't the Georgia game a night game?
Sources are saying to expect me to issue a ruling sometime soon on AUNuggets substance (or lack thereof).
In Eurasia, those who post first with substance are hung by their toes for 7 days. It is a different culture, though. You guys should visit us some time.
no, michael, that game wa at 130 or 230....i remember it very very well. i had a beat with a teach of mine that Auburn would dominate. He had to do push ups in front of the class for that bet....i went to military school.
* bet...not beat
and teacher
If you're out and about between 12 and 5 AM tonight, the Perseid meteor shower is supposed to put on a show.
That sounds like reward, Michael. The pressure on the feet should be able to cure any ailments in the major organ groups, and hanging upside down like that will relieve pressure on the back.
nothing good happens after Midnight. Roger Goodell said so.
You are right there, PF. However, by not letting them switch positions any during the 7 days, potty breaks become extra interesting.
UGA in 2004 was a CBS 2:30 game.
I think I remember the Georgia game as a night game because night had fallen by the end of it since it was late in the year. I am pretty sure it was dark by the time Reggie Brown was murdered.
that was Junior that made that hit, correct?
Michael, it was dark because the lights went out when Reggie Brown was hit.
Carnell's pass to Mix was definitely in the daylight.
It was a vivid weekend for me. I was supposed to go to the game, but my wife's grandmother died the day before, so I stayed home with her and let my son ride with family members. He sat by himself in Section 56, and enjoyed every minute of it. I watched it on the tube.
Peace out Hotties! Go out and hate a bammer for me today! If you can't bring yourself to hate them, then just stomp the pee out of them. Why should you do that, you ask? Because J-Z said so!
My investigative skillz show multiple shadows during the late game highlights (including Reggie Brown's death), proving that the lights were indeed on, and night had at least initiated its fall.
See I'm not crazy, it was dark during some of the game!
Now I will use these same photographic analysis techniques to disprove the moon landing.
The 04 UGA game was CBS 2:30. definitely dark b the end of the game. We all win!!
Harrison ...
Don't tell me you're one of those weenies that believes "everybody plays ... we don't keep score ... and everybody wins."
That would ... crush me.
I was at the game.. we sat very quietly. Oh how things changed with the blackout game.
Now I'd keep cheering for a dawgie or a bammer getting knocked out.
I'm quitting this job. It's making me very violent.
I didn't feel bad for Reggie Brown that day, because I was 75% sure he was a puppet anyway.
I want to see Jet crushed. Harrison, tell him you are a weenie!
I squeal a little when i see a bee. does that make me a weenie??
I don't know. Are you allergic? Is the bee acting aggressively? Real men have to squeal sometimes. There is a time and a place for it.
Pansies ... both of you.
I will not be crushed!
Nt allergic, it just sucks real bad to get stung. so i squeal in hopes to scare it off. you know like a viking or something would
Michael ...
Just wonderin' ...
Are you Michael Jan Terri?
Or Michael Ned Beatty?
Jet, you said if Harrison was a weenie you would be crushed! You lied! That makes me want to cry. :(
I think Michael Ned Beatty will be the first alternative name that I have rejected here at HABOTN. Mark it down.
I don't squeal like a pig. More like a 7 year old girl.
Wait. I'm not a weenie. I tohught we said it was cool to squeal at a bee. I'm pretty manly other than that.
I don't like for everybody to win, I like to win
Harrison, there is something I need to tell you. I was trying to get you to admit to doing things only a weenie would do by telling you it was OK for you to do them. It was wrong, and I am sorry. I just wanted Jet to be crushed. I didn't know how many other lives would be affected by my actions. I should just go hang out at my dogfighting pen in my backyard where I can't hurt any other human's feelings.
it's ok. you would have won, and we established that there always has to be a winner
You know, if someone just happened into our little blog, they might think we are all a little crazy, especially during puppet hour. I am sometimes a little crazy, so I guess that would be an accurate assessment.
Yeah, for real, I did win. Take that all you hatin suckas!
MJT OUT!
Did anyone besides Kathy get their tickets today? I did not.
MJT IN!
cincy, my Uncle Stan always told me that whenever someone calls you crazy, they are just jealous. I really believe that.
Uncle Stan is in a mental institute now. Apparently a lot of people were really jealous of him, including the judge.
MJT OUT!
Michael,
I think I would rate you as one of the people I would most like to meet in real life.
The 04 UGA vs. Auburn game was one of my favorites of the decade. We were ranked 3rd and UGA was 5th and we ended up holding UGA scorless till like 5 minutes left in the 4th. I have the game on DVD somewhere and am now inspired to give it a view.
David Pollack now does sports radio in Atlanta and is rather horrible at it if anyone was curious. He's supposed to be the NFL/CFB insider type but he more comes across as a smug, self-righteous know it all. While commenting on the preseason polls the other afternoon, he justified Auburn not deserving a shot for the title in the 04 season b/c of how great the USC vs. Texas game was that year. Sorry for the rant...afternoon sports radio here makes me want to pull my hair out. Did y'all know he was a roommate with David Greene? Ahh, the David's.
Forget Michael, i want to meet Uncle Stan
I listened to Frank Sanders on the Roundtable today. He did a pretty good job, definitely more interesting than the others on there.
Guess he is going to be on Roundtable on Tuesdays, Opening Drive on Fridays and not sure where the rest of the week.
Could be interesting getting his point of view on Auburn. Loved him as a player.
Ticket were delivered an hour ago! Woo hoo!! Nothing says football season is near like the Fed Ex guy handing you your season tix!
*tickets
"Going on, take the money and run..."
Been conducting quality experiments on a huge pot of brunswick stew I made Sunday. So far, it's gotten better each day. I'm afraid the test will reach it's conclusion tomorrow due to lack of test product.
Note to david Pollack: USC beat Oklahoma in the pathetic MNC game that concluded the 2004 season. USC-Tejas was 2005.
If I had just started reviewing this blog, I would think you guys are kind of cliquish.
If I were to come to this page, see the first three posts, then scroll down to WTC's post, I'd say it was not only cliquish, but a clique of people that enjoy pictured of men in some sort of naked state.
USC didn't beat Oklahoma that year. How could they? Oklahoma never really participated in the game. USC just kind of stomped a mud whole in Oklahoma.
As for the UGA game and Reggie Brown's trip to la-la land, it was during the day. I was in the stands. I was one of the first to pronounce Reggie Brown dead.
PF, there is no clique. Fear the clique!!!
Just in case you want to relive that hit.
The Hit
FYI-The Fedex guy left a note on my door. Need signature for tickets. I gueess I get them Wednesday.
Kodi Burns will be the starter. Yes, he will be eliminated from the competition based upon tonight's scrimmage and be relegated to the fourth string.
But in a shocking twist of fate, all three QBs ahead of him will be put out of action based upon mysterious off the field injuries, culminating with Chris Todd being injured the week before the Louisiana Tech game when accidentally hit by a Zamboni on the way to practice.
Jay-Do you think the Cooper kid form Daphne redshirts this year?
So... when do we hear how the scrimmage went?
If you mean which 2 QB's they're going with, I predict tomorrow.
Wow, I just watched all the highlights of the 2004 AU-GA game. That was a great game! I'd love to see some like that this year.
I predict Caudle and Todd to be named top 2...
I get a little misty eyed every time I watch Ronnie Brown run over a linebacker. I have serious man love for the guy.
Im thinking a new thread is about to happen
No starter tonight
It has been raining in Montgomery for about an hour and moving east. I hope that doesn't stall the scrimmage.
I agree with Omnica that we learn nothing about the QB race today. I am sure they will go over the film and we will know something prior to tomorrow's late practice. Tomorrow is another two-a-day isn't it?
SFC, i feel the same way about Ronnie B. man crush fo shizzle.
Looks like Burns and Todd did two series each
i predict todd and rollison
Tommorrow may approach a record post count for the HABOTN....QBs gettin' cut will spark a few discussions.
Eddie's.....hoping that Tyriffik train keeps-a-rollin'.
Steve needs Toddzilla to shine and keep his prediction relevant.
That'll get it started.
LETS GO BRAVOS
What is Hoopie's prediction?
wtc, I just checked out your avatar and let me tell you, for a guy, you are dang cute.
Todd is your starter...I really do think that. I know noone is feelig the braves thing just then
Bravos having a big 5th inning 4-1
sorry ATL, it was 1-1 last time i checked the Braves. the kids have me pretty distracted.

I agree with Mon, I think it is Todd and Rollinson. I haven't jump on the Rollinson train yet, but I am in line at the ticket window.
SFC-I decided to give up weight lifting and concentrate on my inner beauty.
I see where Lebo has dismissed one player and another took a medical hardship and will never play.
Same story different year for the bball team.
you must be missing your baby girl, WTC
Yes I am. I just walked back into her room to put somethings away and it felt much different in there. Eptiness may feel great after a few months, but today it sux.
Mon...since I haven't been to practices, in team meetings or in the huddles, all I know is what I've seen on the few vids and a lot of rumors....I have no idea.
I'll offer this:
Kodi's fundamentals look a little better, will they hold up under duress.
Todd's arm doesn't look strong enough.
Caudle has finally been getting reps
Rumor has it the TR is catching on.
So......Caudle and TR.
Who is the bog visitor PM writes about on AU undercover?
Big visitor?
The much reviled Beaver provided a Rivals link that indicated Wisconson was interested in the lineman from Minnesota.
I'm sorry, WTC. :-(
She's so lucky to have you for her, Dad.
WTC - Thank you for your input. You know I respect your opinion.
