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!

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 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.; 9:48 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: 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?

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 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...); 9:54 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 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.; 9:55 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 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.; 9:57 AM

JgobravesHAG said...: 5 hours of driving on his 21st bday, Dont think he would like that, considering he is not even an AU fan; 9:59 AM
Monica said...: 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...; 10:02 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: 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!; 10:03 AM
digger4au said...: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINCY!

Who hasn't played My bottle is further away than yours...coke style?; 10:04 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 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!!!!; 10:04 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Mon!!!! whats up resident HOTTIE of all knowledge.... i told you i'd be back...; 10:04 AM

C'mon.; 10:05 AM

Scott M. Brannan said...: the Pike house? i'd probably miss that. the Phi Mu or A-D-Pi? i'd be all in! ha.; 10:06 AM
digger4au said...: 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; 10:06 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 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?; 10:06 AM
Monica said...: 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!!!; 10:07 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Well Mon, i'm a Sigma so i would have to be with my Bruhs for the parting!!!; 10:07 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: "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.; 10:07 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: 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.

CMON!; 10:08 AM

AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: ok jhag, you've convinced my can i roll witcha to FSU for the party!; 10:10 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: AstroTurf is so 1965!

I'm sure you'll have a good time jhag.; 10:10 AM
Seanzie said...: 40k? That's ridiculous. That's not a house, that's a campus.; 10:10 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: that's pretty freakin' big. good luck to ya. stay hydrated.; 10:11 AM
digger4au said...: jhag just enjoy yourself and be careful!

Youth doth have it's splendor; 10:13 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: So HOTTIES lets talk AU..... who scores the first TD and we hear "Touchdown Auburn"!; 10:14 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: 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; 10:14 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: 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.; 10:15 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Kodi; 10:15 AM
digger4au said...: Ben Tate loooong run!!!; 10:15 AM
Seanzie said...: You're going to do it in a year anyway...might as well get a head start.

I bet Tate scores first.; 10:15 AM
Seanzie said...: So are we all staying here then?; 10:16 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: McCalebb (on a long run).; 10:16 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: your parents trust your brother to watch over you, keep you out of trouble, and make sure you stay away from alcohol, drugs, and stds.

don't make them regret trusting you two. :-); 10:16 AM
missinit said...: digger.

Looks like only you and I have played the bottle game,...uh, what does that say abut us?????; 10:17 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Seanzie,

I'm not going somewhere where my legacy cannot be found by Michael in a future Google search.; 10:17 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: I think Tate scores first 6 yd TD run; 10:18 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 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.; 10:18 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: what's the bottle game?; 10:18 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i'll go with Super Mario.

who's the resident HABOTN bookie? we've got to have one. what's the odds on this?; 10:19 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: we got 13 on em; 10:21 AM
Seanzie said...: 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?; 10:23 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i like it Sean.; 10:24 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 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.; 10:24 AM
Seanzie said...: I'd take the moneyline ALL DAY, stay away from the spread.; 10:25 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: oh, those odds...pretty good there, sean.

I'll put a nickel on Kodi at 7:2; 10:25 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: I think we win by more then 13, by it could get ugle and we could realistically end up...not gonna say it; 10:26 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 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.; 10:28 AM
Seanzie said...: 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.; 10:28 AM
Norm said...: scottie b - I'll fax you my order today (probably within the hour). Being out of town all week last week hosed me up.; 10:29 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: gotcha Norm. i'll be a'lookin for it.; 10:31 AM
Monica said...: I've decided to exercise my "delete" button on my Facebook when my bamer fans misbehave.

So there.; 10:33 AM
Monica said...: ummm Rich Rod needs to pull it together. This sure is a far cry from his arrogant, barking years at WVU.; 10:35 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: I believe, MR. FAH scores first and JHS into a tizzy!!!!!; 10:36 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 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?; 10:37 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Well, sense we are talking Louisiana Tech Game, below is my preview of the game. I hope you enjoy:

La Tech Preview; 10:39 AM
digger4au said...: 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.; 10:40 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 10:40 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: so, Eddie.....you didn't like my abbreviated scouting report so you had to one-up me, eh?

nice work.; 10:43 AM
coosa said...: 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.; 10:46 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Sorry Scottie, didn't even notice it till I posted :).; 10:49 AM
Monica said...: 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.; 10:51 AM
coosa said...: Enjoyed your preview, Eddie. Good work.; 10:51 AM
Norm said...: 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.; 10:52 AM
mytommyd said...: 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?; 10:52 AM
Monica said...: 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!!!; 10:54 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: got it Norm, thanks.

cake? who's got cake?!; 10:54 AM
Quitstina said...: How about we return the kickoff for a TD?; 10:56 AM
missinit said...: 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!?!?; 10:59 AM
mytommyd said...: I'm glad we'll be able to finally somewhat figure out how good this team is and/or can be.; 11:01 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: why don't they recycle those green bottles anymore?; 11:02 AM
mytommyd said...: Do they make the green bottles anymore?; 11:07 AM
missinit said...: Not a clue, I defer to Sean.; 11:08 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 11:09 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Auburn's student section continues to get love in the annual Herbie Awards as number 9 in the nation.; 11:17 AM
mytommyd said...: Actually Eddie, didn't we start out by losing PPL for the season?; 11:31 AM
Unknown said...: 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.; 11:32 AM
Unknown said...: 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.; 11:33 AM
Unknown said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 11:33 AM
missinit said...: 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.; 11:34 AM
mytommyd said...: 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; 11:35 AM
Unknown said...: I will take 1 for 11 yards, Alex.; 11:35 AM
Quitstina said...: I'm with Coosa. I would love to see Todd air one out on the first play.; 11:36 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i'll take #1 for 4 yards.; 11:37 AM
Unknown said...: 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.; 11:37 AM
missinit said...: Seriously, I will take either 1 or 2...just no whoopsies,please!; 11:40 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 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.; 11:41 AM
missinit said...: whoopsies, woopsies...?????? Who cares just don't do it!; 11:41 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: making whoopsies = VERY BAD.

making whoopie = VERY GOOD.; 11:44 AM
Unknown said...: 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.; 11:47 AM
digger4au said...: 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.; 11:48 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i agree Steve.

reading all this info on LAT is making me very nervous/anxious/excited. i may need to go lie down.; 11:49 AM
mytommyd said...: Are we sure they can't play like .... tomorrow?!?; 11:51 AM
digger4au said...: 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.; 11:51 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 11:51 AM
mytommyd said...: 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.; 11:52 AM
digger4au said...: I hope not but some probably do.; 11:53 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 11:53 AM
digger4au said...: 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.; 11:55 AM
boknowsbo said...: anybody else having trouble viewing last nights video?; 11:56 AM
Anonymous said...: Monica, I know nothing about FB, but I would permanently delete the bammer.; 11:56 AM
Unknown said...: 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.; 12:01 PM

"you're welcome CNNSI.com"; 12:43 PM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 12:49 PM
Monica said...: AU1 did you read the comments under that hottest fanbases thing?; 12:51 PM
Anonymous said...: yes, I would.; 12:51 PM

RR is just too much of an outsider and a bunch of Mich whiners are out to get him. Every team stretches those rules.; 12:59 PM

Jet said...: 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.; 1:05 PM
Aeronaut said...: The second snap would be a Ben Tate 85 yard run for a TD.; 1:06 PM
michael said...: The third snap would be a screen for a two yard loss after the holding penalty negated the touchdown run.; 1:09 PM
Monica said...: 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; 1:10 PM

Your right....it is all their fault!!; 1:33 PM
IV said...: 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.; 1:36 PM
Anonymous said...: Mon...I turned on the Roundtable to see why you turned it off. What was your issue with them?; 1:45 PM
michael said...: 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).; 1:47 PM

Seanzie said...: How bout this...did Saban's new contract include a buyout clause?; 1:53 PM
IV said...: We will try to correct the problem.; 1:53 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Sean- Saban's buyout clause states that he gets Little Debbies for life.; 1:57 PM
Monica said...: All you gumpites going to see Terrie Saban @ the country club tomorrow?; 1:57 PM
Unknown said...: 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!!!; 1:59 PM
Monica said...: Anybody heard from Faker about his baby girl?; 2:01 PM
Aeronaut said...: Thanks for the debrief, IV.

How did Jeremy Richardson fare for pratvegas (is that the same pratvegas or a different one?); 2:02 PM
Unknown said...: Neidermeher..dead, Dooley...dead, Kiffikin...dead, Petrino...dead, Richt...dead, Saban...dead. Take no prisoners Tigers!!!; 2:05 PM
Aubie said...: Scottie B,
You should have my fax.
Sweet looking trucker lid!; 2:14 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: got it Aubie. gracias.; 2:18 PM
Anonymous said...: Good point there thighmaster! Dammit....I guess I'm part of the problem.; 2:26 PM
IV said...: 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.; 2:26 PM
IV said...: Monica, Gaines has done a resend and I got them.; 2:27 PM
IV said...: IV out for awhile for grocery store run. Food, yum, yum.; 2:28 PM
Aeronaut said...: IV. My bad.

AU commit Jeremy Richardson is a WR at Springville, AL.; 2:34 PM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 2:38 PM
Aeronaut said...: We're gonna show Steven Ensminger how much we've improved since we got some real coaching staff.; 2:46 PM
ehyou said...: Rich Rod says he didn't do anything wrong. I guess that puts an end to that.; 2:49 PM
Aeronaut said...: ( 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 ); 2:50 PM
Aeronaut said...: Rich Rod is the beacon of morality.

or bacon. I'm not sure.; 2:50 PM
Aeronaut said...: 19 more meaningless posts and I can turn this page.

Wade Christopher thinks substance is overrated.; 2:52 PM
ehyou said...: 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.; 2:52 PM
mytommyd said...: The beacon of bacon?!? Is that anything like the Queen of Eurasia?; 2:53 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: George Selvie is still playing at South Florida? I'm pretty sure he's been there for 7 years now.; 2:55 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Selvie was a lowly sophomore when he ripped us one back in '07.; 2:56 PM
Anonymous said...: 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..; 2:57 PM
ehyou said...: Please don't ever mention that game again. Thank you.; 2:58 PM
Aeronaut said...: 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.; 2:59 PM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 3:01 PM
Aeronaut said...: Hokie Hokie Hokie Hi!!!!

Where's my VT ribbon?; 3:02 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 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.; 3:03 PM
Seanzie said...: Steven Ensminger transferred in 2007. He was not around for the Tony Franklin shenanigans.; 3:03 PM
Seanzie said...: 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.; 3:04 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Ensminger had an arm, too.

I thought it was better than Caudle's at the time.; 3:05 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Anyone got the skinny on the weird/sudden Chan Gailey firing in KC?; 3:06 PM
Seanzie said...: So why did he transfer? Was he told that he wasn't going to ever have a shot?; 3:06 PM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 3:06 PM
cincytiger said...: 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!; 3:07 PM
