missinit said...: Before we get to #6 I just have to give one last shout out for #7:

Happy Pat Sullivan Day!

Back in 1970 as a freshmen, little did I know the work out my neck was going to get for the next two years. Sullivan to Beasley ...sweet!

Personal trivia: I got Pat's accounting book which I kept and did not sell back to J&M....well it has his name in it with Sewell Hall under it. Anyway I choose to believe it really was was his.)

I would love for my neck to get the same kind of workout this year...that would be AUsome!; 10:03 PM

Jet said...: Improved, J-Z, or someone's going on a stick.; 10:19 PM

ehyou said...: The ladies are mystery connoisseurs, why am I not surprised?; 10:46 PM
Jet said...: It's the cough syrup talking, DMiller.

CoachRod was the reaction after Saban initially turned them down ... they wanted a face card ... then whatever happened to scare off CoachRod occurred.

After that, the PTB of UAT decided no matter what it took, no matter how long they had to wait, they were going to get Saban.; 10:48 PM

THT 2.0, G.G. said...: if there's a character who's scowls when furious but to passive to actually confront somebody, that's who THT would be.; 11:14 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Good morning Hotties!!!

Molly dog has decided, since MrsTHT left, that she needs to get up every night at 3:30 and go out. Which means I have to get up. Of course, now that I'm up this morning, guess who's still sound asleep in bed? She's a rotten little rat.; 5:50 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I received my copy of the MA's Coaches Confidential magazine yesterday. The first thing I did was call the local HAZMAT team to remove pages 5-18.

Ok, I just tore them out myself, but I was very careful to sanitize my hands thoroughly after touching those pages.

The article on the Chiziks (pages 20-30) by Writer Tate is outstanding, just as one would expect.; 5:54 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: For those of you without the print edition,

j-z said...: HABOTN: The Puppet Wars.

It has begun.; 7:32 AM
mytommyd said...: 6! 6! 6! 6! 6! 6 days till kickoff!!

Sorry. I was having a little al.com flashback. Must be the puppets.; 8:16 AM
Jet said...: Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives:

Yesterday, August 29, 2009 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of HABOTN was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Puppetania.

HABOTN was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Puppetania, was still in conversation with its government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Southeastern Conference.

Indeed, one hour after Puppet air squadrons had commenced bombing in the HABOTN island of the Struttin' Duck, the Puppet Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent HABOTN message. And, while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Wire Road from Puppetania makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Puppet Government has deliberately sought to deceive the HABOTN by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Struttin' Duck has caused severe damage to HABOTN naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many HABOTN lives have been lost. In addition, HABOTN ships have been reported torpedoed on Lake Martin between Kowliga and Chimney Rock.

Yesterday the Puppet Government also launched an attack against J&M Bookstore.

Last night Puppet forces attacked Cheeburger Cheeburger.

Last night Puppet forces attacked Old Foy.

Last night Puppet forces attacked the Surfside Water Park.

Last night the Puppet Forces attacked the second location of Momma Goldberg's.

And this morning the Puppets attacked the Raptor Center.

Puppetania has therefore undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Lee County area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the
HABOTN have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense, that always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the HABOTN people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.

I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Puppetania on Saturday, August 29, 2009, a state of war has existed between the United States of HABOTN and the Puppet Empire.; 8:24 AM
Aeronaut said...: Oh geez .. not another war!; 8:41 AM
Kathy said...: Boy I must have missed a lot last night!

Jet, how is your wife?

Now that I've posted, it's time for Jet to start a new thread!!!; 8:59 AM
Kathy said...: Oops.......not Jet, JGT!; 9:00 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Hi Aero!

At least this one is domestic. I'll take Molly dog down to the fire station. Those puppets will be eviscerated and decapitated by lunch time. Good thing she's had her shots. There's a high incidence of rabies and other dreadful diseases amongst those puppets.; 9:06 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JayGT - can you have the sports editor fix this online poll:
How will Alabama finish this season?
12-0
11-1
10-2
9-3
8-4 or worse

The correct option, 0-1, is not listed.; 9:09 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: j-z -

you will be pleased with this comment from Ben Tate, courtesy of Evan's article in today's Mobile paper:

"We're still doing some type of hitting," he said. "You still can get tough — even if we're running around in shorts and shoulder pads. As long as you're hitting each other and doing it with intensity, pants really don't matter."; 9:27 AM
Anonymous said...: THT...Sound the alarms...the puppets have infiltrated the fire department and seemingly have decided to bring us down from within. It is imperative to get Molly Dog in there now to sniff out the infiltrators.; 9:48 AM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 9:51 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i'm sure Dear Leader will appreciate B.Tate's comments.
