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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

4:26 PM  
Blogger michael said...

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.

4:27 PM  
Blogger AUNugget said...

that was Junior that made that hit, correct?

4:28 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

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!

4:35 PM  
Blogger michael said...

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.

4:38 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

The 04 UGA game was CBS 2:30. definitely dark b the end of the game. We all win!!

4:42 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

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.

4:44 PM  
Blogger Aeronaut said...

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.

4:46 PM  
Blogger michael said...

I didn't feel bad for Reggie Brown that day, because I was 75% sure he was a puppet anyway.

4:48 PM  
Blogger michael said...

I want to see Jet crushed. Harrison, tell him you are a weenie!

4:51 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

I squeal a little when i see a bee. does that make me a weenie??

4:52 PM  
Blogger michael said...

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.

4:55 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Pansies ... both of you.

I will not be crushed!

4:57 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

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

4:57 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Michael ...

Just wonderin' ...

Are you Michael Jan Terri?

Or Michael Ned Beatty?

5:01 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Jet, you said if Harrison was a weenie you would be crushed! You lied! That makes me want to cry. :(

5:02 PM  
Blogger michael said...

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.

5:03 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

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

5:03 PM  
Blogger michael said...

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.

5:08 PM  
Blogger Harrison said...

it's ok. you would have won, and we established that there always has to be a winner

5:15 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

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.

5:15 PM  
Blogger michael said...

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.

5:16 PM  
Blogger michael said...

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.

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.

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.

7:01 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

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.

7:04 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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.

Just in case you want to relive that hit.

FYI-The Fedex guy left a note on my door. Need signature for tickets. I gueess I get them Wednesday.

7:13 PM

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.

7:18 PM

Jay-Do you think the Cooper kid form Daphne redshirts this year?

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...

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?

Tommorrow may approach a record post count for the HABOTN....QBs gettin' cut will spark a few discussions.

That'll get it started.

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.

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.
