Our Tar Heel Tiger's Auburn Minute is brought to you by the number:

5


HAPPY LEWIS COLBERT DAY!!!

Lewis Colbert of Phenix City, Ala.; P 1982-85; 1st Team ALL-SEC and ALL-AMERICAN in 1985; led Auburn in punting all four years he was at Auburn, including a booming 45.8-yard avg in 1985. He has the second-longest punt in Auburn history -- a 77 yarder vs SW Louisiana in 1985.

Yes, he actually had to punt in that game!

HONORABLE MENTION:

* Karsten Bailey: Newnan, Ga.; WR 1995-98; 2nd all-time in career receptions with 150, trailing Courtney Taylor by 3; 3rd all-time in receiving yardage (trails Beasley & Goodson); 3rd all-time in TD receptions (Beasley & Obomanu).

* Travaris Robinson: Miami, Fla; DB 1999-2002; ALL-SEC in 2002 when he tied Carlos Rogers for team lead with 4 interceptions. Now an assistant coach at Southern Miss.

* Joe Sullivan: Birmingham, Ala.; QB 1980-81; Pat's brother, Joe led Auburn in passing in '80 and '81 with a two-year total of 1,142 passing yards and 9 touchdowns. (pre)MrsTHT and I witnessed his first game as an AU quarterback. He led the Tigers to a 10-7 win over the TCU Horned Frogs in Ft. Worth, Texas, on Saturday night, Sept. 13, 1980.

* Joe Frazier: Montgomery, Ala.; TB 1991-94; led Auburn in rushing as a freshman in 1991.

  3. Scottie B,

    no. not angry. I am not angered by the good fortunes of those who deserve it.

    Jealous? A little. Could there be a better Thursday evening that doesn't invole all of that plus [redacted until HABOTNafter-dark].

  5. you can always just DVR the game till your class is over. who needs commercials anyways.

  6. Since Friday is gonna be a completely useless half-day for you, I say you should add a shot of JD to the coke zero. Don't overdo it (don't want the Friday drive to be miserable), but give your body an idea of what you'll be treating it to on Saturday.

  7. If I told you i'll be in Tallahassee this weekend at the Pike hosue staying with my brother with two HD screens in his living room, then going to bars after that, then going to concerts (ying yang twins) then doing the same sunday, then monday tailgating at the Pike house all day then going to FSU/ Miami game at 8, then God knows what else after that...would that make anyone jealous?

    =)

  13. My bro's 21st bday is Saturday, yikes.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I agree. Auburn on Saturday. you can be back to Tally before the parties end (believe me, I managed to do a double header a couple of years ago. a miserable UGA @ Auburn game in the rain that morning watching Cox get destroyed, followed by laughing in the rain in Tally as Wake Forest provided the first Shutour FSU has ever been given at home. I was still in my Auburn gear and auburn poncho, and my future father in law was still wearing his UGA duds. We made it from Auburn to Tally in around 3 hours, I think...)

    ReplyDelete
  15. JHAG, your bro can start his 21st in Auburn, and end it at the bars in Tally. It'll be the best day of his life.

    ReplyDelete
  16. lol @ 'best day of his life'.

    i need to try to make the auburn/tallahassee doubleheader. my sister lives down there and i am yet to make a game in Doak.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'm ready for some football!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. 5 hours of driving on his 21st bday, Dont think he would like that, considering he is not even an AU fan

    ReplyDelete
  20. Love the coffee mug, Cincy.

    Scottie, Your neighbors are punks. Their USC flag needs to have some of Tucker's favorite treats rubbed all over it...

    ReplyDelete
  21. jhag, who's the oldest? make it mandatory for him to just make a ride to AU then you do the return trip to FSU! hold out Man!

  22. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINCY!

  23. i agree Monnie. i wanted to build/paint a lifesize Aubie out of plywood to put in my yard on gamedays but since i will be at most the games this year i haven't been able to justify it to mrs. scottie yet. come the october, though, Aubie may be rockin' in my front yard!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Mon!!!! whats up resident HOTTIE of all knowledge.... i told you i'd be back...

    ReplyDelete
  25. People! You think Hag is going to miss his brother's bday IN THE PIKE HOUSE on his brother's 21st B'day???
    C'mon.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh brother...Rich Rod is getting all emotional

    ReplyDelete
  27. WOW Scottie not a bad idea!!! hummmmmm i will be at home for the Game looks like i will be in the workshop late this week starting tonight!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. the Pike house? i'd probably miss that. the Phi Mu or A-D-Pi? i'd be all in! ha.

    ReplyDelete
  29. After reading several articles this week it seems like the whole team is on the Todd bandwagon. This is great news and much better start than last years. Hope the finish is far superior

    ReplyDelete
  30. Rich Rod is a dbag.....


    and who the heck is using a noisy old school mechanical typewriter at his presser? Jay G, do you know any beat hacks that still use those?

    ReplyDelete
  31. It's about time you showed up, Mobile! I was about to send out a search party.

    Scottie - Sometimes you have to just do that damn thing, man. You don't just need a life size Aubie. You need a Danny Davito, Deck The Halls style a full on assault!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well Mon, i'm a Sigma so i would have to be with my Bruhs for the parting!!!

  33. "Boom it, Lewis Boom it: - courtesy of Ron Anders on the mic. On the day of the 77 yd punt, SWL definitely couldn't get a break. I think Bo had something ridiculous like 290 yards rushing that day.

    ReplyDelete
  34. You would miss the Pike house at FSU?!?!

    It's 40,000 square feet (largest of fraternity or sorority houses in the nation)

    Pike at FSU has won Fraternity of the year two years in a row.

    The courtyard at the house is AtroTurf.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yeah, it will be eventful to say the least...why my parents let me do all this as a senior in high school is past me

    ReplyDelete
  44. New thread is up ... BUT it's only a plug for the lids.

    I'll be erasing that thread at some point. I will not be erasing this thread. Ever.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ben Tate loooong run!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. You're going to do it in a year anyway...might as well get a head start.

    I bet Tate scores first.

    ReplyDelete
  47. So are we all staying here then?

  51. Seanzie,

    I'm not going somewhere where my legacy cannot be found by Michael in a future Google search.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think Tate scores first 6 yd TD run

    ReplyDelete
  53. thanks for the plug JG. just wanted a final reminder before i put the order in today. everybody that has faxed or mailed in an order so far has been accounted for. you'll receive receipts with your rockin' caps.

    ReplyDelete
  54. i'll go with Super Mario.

    who's the resident HABOTN bookie? we've got to have one. what's the odds on this?

    ReplyDelete
  55. 2:1 on Tate.
    3:1 on Fannin
    5:1 McCalebb
    7:1 Zachary
    10: 1 Benton
    8:3 Trott
    7:2 Burns
    20:1 Todd

    How do those sound?

    ReplyDelete
  56. line is currently AU -13 , money line -110

    That's pretty much where I'd put it. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, though. At risk of being accused by SteveFC of being a debbie downer, I think it's only a 10 point win.

    ...then again, some of our best Hotties, like Eddie and Sensi, have faced similar accusations, so I'd be in good company.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'd take the moneyline ALL DAY, stay away from the spread.

    ReplyDelete
  58. oh, those odds...pretty good there, sean.




    I'll put a nickel on Kodi at 7:2

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think we win by more then 13, by it could get ugle and we could realistically end up...not gonna say it

    ReplyDelete
  60. from what i've read LAT has their entire OL, QB, and RB back. they were horrid in '08 throwing the ball so they look to pound it on the ground. they're hoping their stud KR,PR guy Livas breaks out as their go-to receiver.

    their DL sounds good with one stud DT but iffy on the secondary.

    ReplyDelete
  61. We should light em up through the air then. You know they're going to stack the box and make us pass, I say we oblige them.

    ReplyDelete
  62. scottie b - I'll fax you my order today (probably within the hour). Being out of town all week last week hosed me up.

    ReplyDelete
  63. gotcha Norm. i'll be a'lookin for it.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I've decided to exercise my "delete" button on my Facebook when my bamer fans misbehave.

    So there.

    ReplyDelete
  65. ummm Rich Rod needs to pull it together. This sure is a far cry from his arrogant, barking years at WVU.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I believe, MR. FAH scores first and JHS into a tizzy!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Mon, I need a little guidance on that issue. Are warnings issued? Are the levels of friendship that get more tolerance than others? Should they have been on my friends list in the first place if I already knew they were the most obnoxious kind of bammer?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Well, sense we are talking Louisiana Tech Game, below is my preview of the game. I hope you enjoy:

  69. missinit has those bottles been out of distribution that long? Time flies, can't believe people never stood by the old coke machine and bet on whos bottle had the greatess distance. The city and state was molded on the bottom of the 6-1/2 oz bottle.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Peter, be careful about being a debbie downer. Hoopie will be here shortly to set you straight :)!!!! He even gave me these leg braces like forest gump used to wear.

    ReplyDelete
  71. so, Eddie.....you didn't like my abbreviated scouting report so you had to one-up me, eh?

    nice work.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Got no idea who scores the first td, but I'd like to see us start the Chizik era the same way they started the Sullivan-Beasley era, with a long pass on the first play. Let Todd throw one 60 yds down the field just to show everybody that he can do it.

    That's assuming that he really can do it.

    If it were completed for a long td, well, that would be about the best start possible to this season.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Sorry Scottie, didn't even notice it till I posted :).

    ReplyDelete
  74. This is someone I went to high school with and who is normally a very nice person. He is just misguided on this issue and being obnoxious.

    He got no warning of the deletion and here's why. We had a "we'll have to agree to disagree" exchange a couple of weeks ago. However, he made a snotty post on my status which merely says, "Game week. Bout dang time! WAR EAGLE!!!"

    Notice there is no bama bashing there. So, he crossed into my Auburn supporting space with his Auburn hating trash. Immediate delete. My Facebook is My Domain and I am the Mistress of My Domain.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Enjoyed your preview, Eddie. Good work.

    ReplyDelete
  76. scottie b - you should have a fax. I didn't hang around waiting on the confirmation, I was distracted by cake.

    Digger - I remember those bottles and comparing them with my friends.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I say we start the game without an illegal procedure, or illegal formation, or any sort of penalties on the offensive side. Run past La Tech's strengths, pass over their susceptible secondary, have them huffing and puffing by the 2nd quarter. I'd als o lie to see our D STUFF anything that they could have coming, and the secondary manage their weaker passing game. Is that asking too much for a first game?

    ReplyDelete
  78. It is a GORGEOUS day here. It's nearly Noon, it's 68 degrees and the deeeep blue the sky gets here in the Fall. FOOOOTBAWWWWWL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  79. got it Norm, thanks.

    cake? who's got cake?!

    ReplyDelete
  80. How about we return the kickoff for a TD?

    ReplyDelete
  81. PF....

    You young thang! To add to digger's reply,


    Correct me if I'm wrong Sean,

    Once upon a time, long, long ago cities and towns all over America bottled Coca-Cola. Wherever the original bottle was "bottled" the city or town was embossed into the bottom of the bottle. Once drank the bottle was returned (usually to anywhere that sold Coke) and they would be recycled so over time there would be no telling what city you would get on your bottle.

    When we kids would buy a Coke, whoever got a bottle from the farthest away would win. Sometimes we would buy the winner another Coke....big spenders that we were!

    Coca-cola..a pioneer in recycling!?!?

    ReplyDelete
  82. I'm glad we'll be able to finally somewhat figure out how good this team is and/or can be.

    ReplyDelete
  83. why don't they recycle those green bottles anymore?

    ReplyDelete
  84. Do they make the green bottles anymore?

    ReplyDelete
  85. Not a clue, I defer to Sean.

    ReplyDelete
  86. No offense to all you wanting to start with a bang, but do you remember how we started last season? ...with a defensive touchdown on the first snap. That was the first time I have ever seen that and after last season, I hope it's the last.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Auburn's student section continues to get love in the annual Herbie Awards as number 9 in the nation.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Actually Eddie, didn't we start out by losing PPL for the season?

    ReplyDelete
  89. Eddie, I just wanted to offer my condolences for the derailing of the Rollison Express. I had convinced myself he would be the number 2 guy.

    ReplyDelete
  90. My goals for this season will be realistic. The first goal is to make it through the opening kickoff without losing a player for the season.

  92. So... what will our first offensive play from scrimmage be Saturday? Please check.

    1.___Run for + yardage (inc TD)
    2.___Pass for + yardage (inc TD)
    3.___Run for - yardage
    4.___Pass for - yardage
    5.___Penalty
    6.___Fumble
    7.___Interception


    Note: 3,4,5, 6, and 7 are not acceptable answers.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Steve and Eddie, with Caudle #2, does that pretty much guarantee Tyrik as a redshirt this season.

    I almost spelled redshirt the very wrong way for a family blog

    ReplyDelete
  94. I will take 1 for 11 yards, Alex.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'm with Coosa. I would love to see Todd air one out on the first play.

    ReplyDelete
  96. i'll take #1 for 4 yards.

    ReplyDelete
  97. tommy, I think it makes a redshirt likely, but not certain. If Todzilla breaks down early, like within the first 4 games, you would likely see Rollison. If Caudle completes more passes to the other team than he does to us, we will likely see Rollison. I would say there is about an 80% chance of a redshirt though.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Seriously, I will take either 1 or 2...just no whoopsies,please!

    ReplyDelete
  99. FYI: i'm thinking LAT will try to get the ball through the air to their TE this week. their TE, Dennis Morris was the leading receiver in their final scrimmage last wednesday.

    ReplyDelete
  100. whoopsies, woopsies...?????? Who cares just don't do it!

    ReplyDelete
  101. making whoopsies = VERY BAD.

    making whoopie = VERY GOOD.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I view this as the most critical game of the season. Why? Because all of the players seem to have fully bought in to Malzahn's offense. We really need a solid offensive performance under our belts.

    ReplyDelete
  103. We were big spenders. Our standard bet was a Quarter. And the longest distance got all Qtrs. Sometimes there would be 4 or 5 in the group big money LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  104. i agree Steve.

    reading all this info on LAT is making me very nervous/anxious/excited. i may need to go lie down.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Are we sure they can't play like .... tomorrow?!?

    ReplyDelete
  106. I stay nervous when Auburn is playing. Just look at what happened last year all across the country. It can happen to any one especially in the first game.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Steve- I'll be passing along arrangement info later.

    mytommy- I would pretty much bet that Rollison will redshirt.

    I stated earlier when the announcement occured that I believe that this staff believes that Todd can do great things this season, so I believe that is why you saw Caudle listed as the backup. That is just my opinion on that matter.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I wonder if players get this geeked up? Not having played at anything higher than a Jr High level, I wonder if players get as excited as the fans.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I hope not but some probably do.

    ReplyDelete
  110. mytommy- Lots of strange things happen with football players on games days. Some get really geeked up, some puke and some get the runs. Word to the wise, always avoid a lockerroom bathroom before a game.

    ReplyDelete
  111. This being my first year in the football picking, I was wondering what time the Odds are posted. I looked a while ago and did not see them.

    Monica, I know nothing about FB, but I would permanently delete the bammer.

    ReplyDelete
  114. This new offense is going to be very interesting. You can expect more turnovers because of the number of exchanges made and the vertical passing game, but hopefully we will see a lot more big plays.

    I think the reason Ole Nutt didn't buy into it was due to his conservative nature and the risk involved.

    ReplyDelete

    Hmmmmm...the HABOTN Lids improve appearances by 13% to 56%. That's a broad range right there. Hoopie would be in the higher range improved.

    Stay away from the Au bets this weekend. My prediction: AU by 10, but that is a wildly unpredictable situation.

    Eddie: predicting that we only win by 10 = Reasonable.

    Agonizing and imagining the entire season is going to be a disaster because some LBs are on the fall practice sidelines 2 weeks before the first game = Debbie Downer.

  134. We may be seeing a program implode before our very eyes. If players don't want to work, then who would want to coach? Rodriguez is toast, toast, toast.

    ReplyDelete
  135. The second snap would be a Ben Tate 85 yard run for a TD.

    ReplyDelete
  136. The third snap would be a screen for a two yard loss after the holding penalty negated the touchdown run.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Scottie - My favorite one was the guy who commented on the Auburn girls pointing out that they were 13 and 14 years old at the time of the picture. He knew this because one of the girls was his relative.

    It should be pointed out that the list is brought to you by Bleacher Report. Bleacher Report is all fan contributed stuff = mostly crapola.

    Also, that should have been called hottest fanbase because we do have men in our fan base and I saw no men pics.

    Just sayin

  142. Okay, way to much for me to catch up on from the weekend and I am not even going to try. A tidbit or two from my weekend trip to the Hotlanta area the last two days. Got to see one of the Auburn billboards and they look ausome. The team that played ahead of Prattvegas High was indeed the team that Marcus Lattimore plays for. We got there in the third quarter and Byrnes had already done the damage. By that time, they were salting things away. I got to see Lattimore run the ball about 3 times before they took him out early in the fourth quarter. He did not have any break away runs but did wind up with about 130 yards I think they said. He is a very good looking runner. I sat among some very nice Byrnes fans. They all said that Lattimore is a very good student, solid citizen and generally just a nice young man. I asked them all to go back home and help us get him down on the plains. They indicated that from what they had heard, he was still very high on Auburn even though N. C. had moved into the mix. I enjoyed talking with the folks from S. C. Good peeps. I couldn't help P. H. S. in their game, maybe I am their jinx now. From what I observed, Prattville has a long way to go before they contend for another 6A championship. Of course, they came a long way last year from start to finish and could do it again.

    Mon...I turned on the Roundtable to see why you turned it off. What was your issue with them?

    ReplyDelete
  144. Hoopie turning on Roundtable due to Monica's complaints just proves any publicity is good publicity, and the roundtable guys know what they are doing (since I know many of you wonder consistently how in the world they can believe anything they are saying).

  146. Hoopie - Doug was talking non-stop about Saban's contract renewal and how it meant he would never leave. When Doug let's his 5 year old homer take over he's hard to take.

  148. I am not going to turn on the Roundtable because of the bad publicity they have recently received.

  149. Monica, Gaines wanted to know if you got his story inventory late last week?

    ReplyDelete
  150. LOL Ehyou RAWKS!

    ReplyDelete
  151. IV - No I didn't. I got an email from him asking if he could send me some stories and I said yes, but I never got anything else from him.

  152. How bout this...did Saban's new contract include a buyout clause?

    ReplyDelete
  153. We will try to correct the problem.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Sean- Saban's buyout clause states that he gets Little Debbies for life.

    ReplyDelete
  155. All you gumpites going to see Terrie Saban @ the country club tomorrow?

    ReplyDelete
  156. My prediction? Auburn 35, La Tech 0. We will take no prisoners. These players have something to prove. This will be the first step in a run to the SEC West title. Yes, I still believe in unrealistic expectations!!!

  157. Anybody heard from Faker about his baby girl?

    ReplyDelete
  158. Thanks for the debrief, IV.

    How did Jeremy Richardson fare for pratvegas (is that the same pratvegas or a different one?)

    ReplyDelete
  159. Neidermeher..dead, Dooley...dead, Kiffikin...dead, Petrino...dead, Richt...dead, Saban...dead. Take no prisoners Tigers!!!

    Good point there thighmaster! Dammit....I guess I'm part of the problem.

  162. Aeronaut, I was talking about Prattville High School, the 3 time in a row Alabama 6A State Champs playing North Gwinnett, Georgia High School. Final score, NGHS 14, PHS 11. Byrnes S.C. played Central Gwinnett H. S. in the first game of the Progressive National Football Challenge. Final score, Byrnes 43, CGHS 7. I believe that Richardson is a wide receiver for a Lousianna HS.

  163. Monica, Gaines has done a resend and I got them.

  164. IV out for awhile for grocery store run. Food, yum, yum.

    Eddie...you can breathe easier. Steve's unrealistically positive post at 1:59 pm is much further from reality than last week's Debbie Downer posts.

    This last week is gonna drive me nuts. Every post I read is like deja vu all over again.....its..its all running together.

    We need an actual game to discuss. I'm so burnt out from waiting, that discussing RRod was ordinary when normally that would be entertainment.

    ReplyDelete
  167. We're gonna show Steven Ensminger how much we've improved since we got some real coaching staff.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Rich Rod says he didn't do anything wrong. I guess that puts an end to that.

    ReplyDelete
  169. ( Steven Ensminger, the guy that had Auburn scholarship as QB, is now the backup punter for La Tech ).

    ( I am not talking about the position coach at an SEC school, who is now the qb coach at a very small high school )

    ReplyDelete
  170. Rich Rod is the beacon of morality.

    or bacon. I'm not sure.

    ReplyDelete
  171. 19 more meaningless posts and I can turn this page.

    Wade Christopher thinks substance is overrated.

    ReplyDelete
  172. Aero...
    I do expect to show Coach Ensminger that we have upgraded the coaching staff, but couldn't figure what that particular coach had to do with this particular game.

    ReplyDelete
  173. The beacon of bacon?!? Is that anything like the Queen of Eurasia?

    ReplyDelete
  174. George Selvie is still playing at South Florida? I'm pretty sure he's been there for 7 years now.

    ReplyDelete
  175. Selvie was a lowly sophomore when he ripped us one back in '07.

    When Urban cried, I snickered but believed him.

    When RRod was staring at the floor trying to squeeze out a tear and think of something to say...all I could smell was B..S..

    ReplyDelete
  177. Please don't ever mention that game again. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  178. eh.

    Steven Ensminger was a scholarship QB at Auburn. He transferred to LA Tech in 08. I think his departure coincided with the arrival of toni franklin.

    I know my proper nouns and it is on purpose.

    Puppet hour starts soon and I would expect the Queen of
    Eurasia to explain who really controls the bacon bidness. Don't ask her about her bidness.

  180. Hokie Hokie Hokie Hi!!!!

    Where's my VT ribbon?

    ReplyDelete
  181. That was absolutely the worst fake cry ever wasn't it? His eyes were bone dry and he had a smirk on his face when he looked up... At least pinch your boys or something to get some tears flowing so it looks halfway real.


    Spanish soccer on ESPN is annoying. There are at least three sets of announcers talking at the same time right now.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Steven Ensminger transferred in 2007. He was not around for the Tony Franklin shenanigans.

    ReplyDelete
  183. I think I just teared up from the thought of getting the boys pinched.

    Anyway, it's too bad Richie didn't take that UAT job in hindsight. I'd think we'd be counting on win no. 8 coming up and singing about Bammer being on probation. Again.

    ReplyDelete
  184. Ensminger had an arm, too.

    I thought it was better than Caudle's at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  185. Anyone got the skinny on the weird/sudden Chan Gailey firing in KC?

    ReplyDelete
  186. So why did he transfer? Was he told that he wasn't going to ever have a shot?

    ReplyDelete
  187. Anonymous3:06 PM

    Steven Ensminger(Jr) went from 3rd-4th string QB at AU to 2nd string QB at La Tech.

    Well....we're moving on up ...to the east side baybie.

  188. Sean,
    So sorry I had to leave, friends took me out for lunch for my Bday. Tom is taking me and 4 other couples out tonight. I am going to gain 50 pounds for my 50th!

    Anyway, my coke question. Where can I get one of the life size cutouts of Chizik? A friend of mine got one from the local coke guy who stocks Walgreens. I'll stalk a coke guy if I have to, but thought you might give me some pointers. You can email me if you'd rather.

    Thanks!
