excellent article, as always Writer Tate. However, I will remain scared to death that his rebuilt shoulder will not remain intact for an entire season. I certainly hope it does.
Cincy - we added the post office on our list of errands.
My daughter's soccer team had it's first practice today. Some of the parents looked at me funny when I had the kids yelling "NO DROPS!" They will learn.
Jay, Enjoyed your "box" article on Auburn's season. You seem very objective, which is what a reporter should be. I agree with your observations, however I am going out on a limb and predicting an 8-4 season, while wishing for a 12-0. The world is looking great through my glasses!
Jay did it to me again, started a new thread while I was posting in the old thread, so from previous:
Luv, my husband is a fan of the "evil-side". I call him a "fair weather" fan because he just recently regained interest, like some other family members. He does not buy season tickets, so he babysits the grandkids and watches from home. Both of my girls are Auburn fans. The grandkids are Auburn fans; however, if they don't go to Auburn with their mom and dad, they stay home with Pops. If they are home with Pops, he dresses them in Alabama gear for the day, and they watch the game with him. It's the only Alabama gear they have. All the other time they wear Auburn.
JGT...The "Preview in-a-Box" is superb. It is concise and on point without a lot of conjecture.
Once again your written substance stands on it's on without the need to resort to sensationalistic comments in order to get the point across or gain attention.
Hoopie- I'm more positive than I was, but I can assure you i'm still very skeptical about the defense. By the way, I had this information about them thinking they were going to be good before the Caudle announcement, just that even cemented what I heard. Jet- I'm fairly sure that Tyrik will not play this season, if we was, he would be #2. I know nothing official has been announced yet, but I think they are redshirting him and pretty much getting him ready for next season start Spring Ball. That is an opinion there, no info to back that up.
There is a teeny tiny chance I'll get to meet Tom Brady next January. If I do I'll be more obnoxious than I normally am I so I suppose y'all should hope it doesn't happen.
Eddie..last week you were starting to move from skeptical (a reasonable preseason attitude) to despair(unhealthy). Last night it seemed that you had all of a sudden bailed out the water..got the engine started... and were gunning it into the tunnel...note: that comment was exaggerated for effect.
That tunnel will require luck, skill and....luck to negotiate successfully.
I agree that if TR is not ready to be #2 and get some quality reps, then save him for 4 full seasons.
Because I'm at a school that is a basketball power house and I have a father like relationship with my head coach, So I couln't leave him...originally he was going to take a college job then I was going to transfer to STA I already met the coach and everything...but my bball coach at my high school stayed and I couldn't bail on him, because my bball team this year has a good chacne of winning states
so Hoopie, will you be wearing your Kirk Herbstreit costume to the AU-UM game on Halloween? if so, i want a photo-op!
JG mentioned it earlier but the HABOTN ladies have been really bringing the heat lately. very impressive : Cincy, Luv, Cathy, Monnie, Kristina, shesaid and now 2.0. keep it up! apologies if i left anyone out.
My daughter and SIL went to gameday last time it was in Auburn. One of their signs said "Herbstreit Glows Orange" because of the awful makeup they have on him some days. He absolutely looks like a pumpkin sometimes (color wise, not look wise, looks are very pleasing)
Cincy- I'm a member of both Rivals and Auburnundercover. They are very different in my opinion. Rivals produces more story and is much more centered around recruiting but does a great job with it's normal coverage of the team. If you liked PMarsh and his tracking the tigers blog of previous, you would like AuburnUndercover. With all that said, I prefer Rivals.
I haven't tried the Scout site, but i'm sure it's good.
I was hoping that they would put TR in #7. By the way, three of Auburn's 09 recruiting class wore #7 in high school. I am full of useless information like that.
Can someone have a nice cold milo's tea for me? Danke'.
There was no other choice. Number 7 is the man, an Auburn man, and one of the players that made me an Auburn fan.
It is nice to see Todzilla's revenge. Refer to him as the noodle all you want, but the kid has heart and he is back bigger and badder than ever. The noodle will strike fear in the hearts of opponents this season.
If Toddzilla comes through for Auburn this season, Steve will go down in history as being the man to say it was going to happen. He will be remembered alongside Babe Ruth and his famous home-run prediction.
I still have my doubts, but I admire Steve for his faith in Todd.
Brother Jet - Sorry to take so long to respond to your post about Sully and LSU; been working all day and just now got back by the computer.
And you are right, when Pat looks back on his life, I think he's gotta feel like the biggest mistake of his career was not doing whatever it took to pay off TCU and the lousy $100k that they used to keep him there. Forcing somebody that wants to leave to stay and honor a contract is always a disaster for both sides, and this was a great example. After it happened, he lost a lot of his support at TCU and things just went downhill from there.
If only he had been patient and not applied at LSU, kept winning at TCU, he could have come back to AU and might still be our coach.
Guess it just wasn't meant to be, but it was something I always wanted to see happen. I was very disappointed when they hired Tubs instead of Pat.
yep, The Truth Hurts, I was at the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1972, and Pat Sullivan was certainly not the MVP. That game was just miserable. OU, behind MVP QB Jack Mildren wishboned us to death.
The Jan 2, 1971 Gator Bowl was a much more entertaining and enjoyable game.
Ladies, in reference to your earlier conversation, let it be known that all MrsTHT can talk about when Game Day is on is Chris Fowler. I have no idea why.

Michael - you can imagine my disappointment today when I was unable to find a Jan Terri CD in the Chapel Hill Public Library book, etc sale. I thought for sure I'd find it in the same stack that had the William Hung "Inspiration" CD.
I had much better luck. I found a 45 rpm from 1978 on eBay earlier this year for $4. Cost me maybe another $10 to turn it into a digital file. You'll Love Again by the B'ham based group Hotel. Songwriter, vocalist, keyboardist, and Jasper native is Marc Phillips (that's the bhamwiki page)
Aero, I have been wanting to ask you about the AU website. What did you mean when you asked about to NRN beside the countdown? Mine doesn't say that - it says days, hours, minutes. Just trying to figure out what you were seeing. Glad you are safe.
LGG - good point! Those wretched animals were about 15 feet from our back door eating up plants today until I got the bb gun out. A few hours later, they were right back up there again. It's dark now, I'm guessing they'll be sneaking up for thirds if they aren't already out there.
Terry Beasley was the namesake of my childhood pet, a sheep dog named "Beasley."
A great dog.
Terry was an amazing player, but football was not good to him. When I was an officer in the Elmore County AU Club, we invited him to our preseason shindig to give him an award. He was overwhelmed.
Kathy, Just got a text from my son who told me not to upgrade to Snow Leopard yet. Not sure why he wants me to wait, but I will let you know after I talk to him. He is all things Apple, computers, phone, TV, he loves them.
Win Lyle is a class act, a fine surgeon and was a heck of a kicker.
Trotman is the finest color commentator we've ever had, and takes the ribbing in good spirit of "who was the QB?" when the invariable questions of the Andrews-Brooks-Cribbs arise. He is a fine man.
And the Little Train was one of the most exciting players to ever put an AU jersey ... I hate that he's had some post-career problems.
Dr. Win Lyle is a native of Auburn, Alabama, and graduated from Auburn High School and Auburn University. During college, he was the kicker on the Tiger's 1987-1989 S.E.C. Champion football teams. His honors include 3-time Academic All-SEC, 1987 All-SEC First Team PK, and the winner of the coveted Cliff Hare Award, the highest honor for an Auburn student-athlete. He continued playing football after college professionally with the Phoenix Cardinals and the Birmingham Fire.
Thereafter, Dr. Lyle earned his medical degree from The Chicago Medical School and completed an orthopedic surgical residency at Wright State University School of Medicine. Before becoming a member of our staff, he completed a sports medicine fellowship at The Hughston Clinic. He is now a member of the East Alabama Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Clinic at East Alabama Medical Center.
Dr. Lyle is board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, and a member of the Christian Medical & Dental Society. He has been active in orthopaedic research and has presented his work at various meetings. He practices general orthopedics with a special interest in arthroscopy and sports medicine.
Dr. Lyle and his wife, Catherine, have two sets of twin boys, John and Andrew and Christopher and James. They also have a daughter, Margaret. In his leisure time, he enjoys golfing, running, softball, and attending Auburn University sporting events
* * * Win Lyle led Auburn in scoring in 1987, 1988, & 1989. His career positions in Auburn's record book: Scoring 6th Made FGs 2nd FG pct 3rd
HONORABLE MENTION: Fred Smith - Eufala, AL; CB 1991-94; tied for team lead with 4 INTs as a freshman in 1991.
Charlie Trotman - Montgomery, AL; 1978 & 1979 passing leader; lettered 1977-79. Academic All-SEC 1979. Mr. Trotman is a fine Auburn man and a favorite of Brother Jet.
MENTION: Lionel James - Albany, GA; RB 1981-83; one of the heroes of the great Auburn team of 1983, an outstanding RB/kick returner in the NFL, and a member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame; an overachiever on the gridiron despite his size, Mr. James also overachieved last year with 3 DUI arrests in less than 4 months.
just read an old newspaper story on Colis Cambell, running back from the mid 80s. He was big and fast, but never really escaped the shadows of Bo & Brent.
D Miller, I don't think you can. CSS is Charter Sports Southeast so I think you can only get it on cable. Not positive, but I know we can't get it on Direct.
I am arguing with my dog... he wants to watch the game with me. But, I told him he had to finish his dinner first. Until he cleans his dish, he can't come out of his room. He doesn't seem to want to agree with me.
I'm not sure what kind of 'frat' initiation you're referring to, Mon... but from your (typed) tone, I don't think my fraternity took part in that initiation practice.
Speaking of dogs, she is fostering a 1/2 year old Golden Retriever who has been treated and is recovering from heart worms. She said he is a beauty with a true GR personality, he worships the ground you walk on. Just in case anyone is looking for a new companion.
NO DROPS!!!
ReplyDeleteWreck Tech & Burn the Bulldogs, all in one day!!! WAR EAGLE!!!
ReplyDelete2.0 is way too fast for me
ReplyDeleteTHT is too old to beat me
ReplyDeleteThe THT family is taking over!
ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeleteReading your article on Chris Todd makes my orange colored glasses a little shinier.
They're pretty enthusiastic about Todd and his situation.
ReplyDeleteexcellent article, as always Writer Tate. However, I will remain scared to death that his rebuilt shoulder will not remain intact for an entire season. I certainly hope it does.
ReplyDeleteCincy - we added the post office on our list of errands.
We're out of here for a while.
WAR EAGLE!!!
THT,
ReplyDeleteYou're my hero!
Biggest regret of my life so far, not transfering to St Thomas Aquinas for my senior year
ReplyDeleteLuv, see my post on the last thread re: wedding.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you, hag?
ReplyDeleteNice articles Mr. Tate.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's soccer team had it's first practice today. Some of the parents looked at me funny when I had the kids yelling "NO DROPS!" They will learn.
Jay,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your "box" article on Auburn's season. You seem very objective, which is what a reporter should be. I agree with your observations, however I am going out on a limb and predicting an 8-4 season, while wishing for a 12-0. The world is looking great through my glasses!

Off to wash some vehicles. Have a great Saturday.
ReplyDeleteAuburn's most beloved player.
ReplyDeleteJGT...The "Preview in-a-Box" is superb. It is concise and on point without a lot of conjecture.

ReplyDeletePreview-in-a-box is better than Justin Timberlake's idea for in-a-box.
ReplyDeleteThis time next week, I'll be in Auburn!!!!!! Can't wait.
Kathy..keep those grandkids away from the dark side.
ReplyDeleteMay the Hate be with you.
JG, nice story on Todd. I'm still skeptical. I'm sure everybody is until we see it live next week.
ReplyDeleteThere is a teeny tiny chance I'll get to meet Tom Brady next January. If I do I'll be more obnoxious than I normally am I so I suppose y'all should hope it doesn't happen.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Mr. Brady should hope that doesn't happen.
ReplyDeleteIf he knew me I'm sure he'd be making sure it didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteMonica,
ReplyDeleteIf he knew you, he'd be making sure it DID happen! Come on now!!!
awww Cincy, Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteOnly the really nice people lie to you when you need it the most.
Eddie..last week you were starting to move from skeptical (a reasonable preseason attitude) to despair(unhealthy). Last night it seemed that you had all of a sudden bailed out the water..got the engine started... and were gunning it into the tunnel...note: that comment was exaggerated for effect.
ReplyDeleteThat tunnel will require luck, skill and....luck to negotiate successfully.
I agree that if TR is not ready to be #2 and get some quality reps, then save him for 4 full seasons.
Mon...will Greg be there when you meet Mr. Brady?
ReplyDeletehush
ReplyDeleteGreg said he makes me carry a picture of him around my neck, but he appreciates you having his back, Hoopie.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Hoopie has a huge crush on Kirk Herbstreit...I mean...I can be watching Gameday and she'll stop, sit and watch if he is on the screen.
ReplyDeleteShe got his autograph at the 2004 SECCG and was visibly affected.
I went on a diet, starting working out, died my hair blonde and starting wearing bright blue-colored contacts after that event.haha.
Because I'm at a school that is a basketball power house and I have a father like relationship with my head coach, So I couln't leave him...originally he was going to take a college job then I was going to transfer to STA I already met the coach and everything...but my bball coach at my high school stayed and I couldn't bail on him, because my bball team this year has a good chacne of winning states
ReplyDeleteFom all accounts...Greg is a good guy...jus' sayin'.
ReplyDeletehag....how about your current teammates?
ReplyDelete1. Eddie ... i won't rule it out yet on Tyrik.
ReplyDelete2. Tom Brady adding another supermodel to his collection.
3. Mother of Jet -- we'll call her Mrs. Orville Wright -- met JFK in 1960. It may trump the Herbie meet.
I share Mrs. THT's deep appreciation for Kirk. She has excellent taste.
ReplyDeleteGreg is 100% top shelf.
Jet - You're good.
sheesh I meant Mrs. Hoopie's!
ReplyDeleteI do so enjoy looking at Herbie.
If your a guy and your wife told you that you were 100% bottom shelf, is that terrible? I would think being in cabinet hidden would be the worse.
ReplyDeleteI spent 3 years in a caved-in tool shed when we lived in Wetumpka.
ReplyDeleteso Hoopie, will you be wearing your Kirk Herbstreit costume to the AU-UM game on Halloween? if so, i want a photo-op!
ReplyDeleteJG mentioned it earlier but the HABOTN ladies have been really bringing the heat lately. very impressive : Cincy, Luv, Cathy, Monnie, Kristina, shesaid and now 2.0. keep it up! apologies if i left anyone out.
speaking of ESPN, um...talent, whatcha think about this?
ReplyDeleteErin Andrews - most overrated female tv gal ever.
Wendy Nix - very underrated female tv personality.
just sayin'.
My daughter and SIL went to gameday last time it was in Auburn. One of their signs said "Herbstreit Glows Orange" because of the awful makeup they have on him some days. He absolutely looks like a pumpkin sometimes (color wise, not look wise, looks are very pleasing)
ReplyDeleteok, enough of that nonsense. i'm off to cut the grass.
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to subscribe to one of the pay sites, which one do y'all suggest? I want one that covers more than just recruiting.
ReplyDeleteI think Scottie's angling for a trip to the Champagne Room.
ReplyDeleteCincy- I'm a member of both Rivals and Auburnundercover. They are very different in my opinion. Rivals produces more story and is much more centered around recruiting but does a great job with it's normal coverage of the team. If you liked PMarsh and his tracking the tigers blog of previous, you would like AuburnUndercover. With all that said, I prefer Rivals.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the Scout site, but i'm sure it's good.
JZ- As much jack as Scottie lays down, I think they renamed the room after him.
ReplyDeleteawww thank you, Scottie
ReplyDeleteI like Rivals, Cincy.
Eddie - Can't imagine you'd ever hear bottom shelf from your wife.
Mon- Nah, just cheap stuff.
ReplyDeleteIgnore the haters, Scottie. You know you're the mackest HABOTN gangsta around. ;-)
ReplyDeleteJust remember what Chris Rock says about the Champagne Room, Scottie.
ReplyDeleteThat's right Mon. He even has the neon wristband to prove it still on from last night :)!!!
ReplyDeleteScottie's a hellova lot better looking than Chris Rock, too...
ReplyDeleteThis link is so bad it's funny.
ReplyDeleteThe Lane Kiffen Show with Nick Saban
PS- There is some bad language.
Where'd everyone go?
ReplyDeletePat Sullivan NUFF SAID.
ReplyDeleteJay both post really good and the prediction a litle conservative but unfortunately probably accurate.
Hope Todd makes it through the whole season without shoulder problems
i go off to do a little yard work and i come back to being the Chris Rock of the HABOTN (not that there's anything wrong with that).
ReplyDeleteyall are nuts. at this point i barely remember what a champagne room looks like. and you can quote me on that. ;) i appreciate the love, though. ha.
ok, back to work.
Happy Pat Sullivan day.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that they would put TR in #7. By the way, three of Auburn's 09 recruiting class wore #7 in high school. I am full of useless information like that.
Can someone have a nice cold milo's tea for me? Danke'.
Jay, great point on Jant Terri not needing to see Goblins to make Get Down Goblin. That's changed my whole perspective.
ReplyDeletePat Sullivan was not the MVP of the 1971 Sugar Bowl.
ReplyDeleteThere was no other choice. Number 7 is the man, an Auburn man, and one of the players that made me an Auburn fan.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see Todzilla's revenge. Refer to him as the noodle all you want, but the kid has heart and he is back bigger and badder than ever. The noodle will strike fear in the hearts of opponents this season.
If Toddzilla comes through for Auburn this season, Steve will go down in history as being the man to say it was going to happen. He will be remembered alongside Babe Ruth and his famous home-run prediction.

ReplyDeleteAnd you are right, when Pat looks back on his life, I think he's gotta feel like the biggest mistake of his career was not doing whatever it took to pay off TCU and the lousy $100k that they used to keep him there. Forcing somebody that wants to leave to stay and honor a contract is always a disaster for both sides, and this was a great example. After it happened, he lost a lot of his support at TCU and things just went downhill from there.
If only he had been patient and not applied at LSU, kept winning at TCU, he could have come back to AU and might still be our coach.
Guess it just wasn't meant to be, but it was something I always wanted to see happen. I was very disappointed when they hired Tubs instead of Pat.
Stevo
ReplyDeleteI ventured into your blog that day. Hope things get better for you.
WDE.
I am scared of noodles, and some other Chinese food. It just doesn't like me.
yep, The Truth Hurts, I was at the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1972, and Pat Sullivan was certainly not the MVP. That game was just miserable. OU, behind MVP QB Jack Mildren wishboned us to death.
ReplyDeleteThe Jan 2, 1971 Gator Bowl was a much more entertaining and enjoyable game.
Boy, Chelsea look bloody good today men........and Man U fans.
ReplyDeleteTHT ...
ReplyDeleteOU that day ...
87 rushes for 439 yards.
Ladies, in reference to your earlier conversation, let it be known that all MrsTHT can talk about when Game Day is on is Chris Fowler. I have no idea why.
ReplyDeletethree AU turnovers all leading to scores, plus a very long OU punt return for TD, all in the first half, led to the very high misery quotient.
ReplyDeletedang. I hope we are still invited to St. Thomas Auqitas' campus.

Michael - you can imagine my disappointment today when I was unable to find a Jan Terri CD in the Chapel Hill Public Library book, etc sale. I thought for sure I'd find it in the same stack that had the William Hung "Inspiration" CD.
ReplyDeleteTHT - believe me, I have looked online before, and I have never been able to come across a Jan Terri album for sale.
ReplyDeleteI just checked ebay, and there is a single Jan Terri album on sale. Price: $500!!!!! I'll bet someone somewhere will pay that much for it.
well, I regret you can't expect it under the Christmas tree from me, Michael.
ReplyDeletewow! you aren't kidding, Michael... $500...wow!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could listen to "Fax my love" just one time before I die.
ReplyDeleteNot really. But the concept is amazing.. 'fax my love'.
ReplyDeleteMan I'm bored. Maybe I should just ask the resident blogger if he's turning into an Auburn fan.
On second thought I should just hit the gym.
I had much better luck. I found a 45 rpm from 1978 on eBay earlier this year for $4. Cost me maybe another $10 to turn it into a digital file.
ReplyDeleteYou'll Love Again by the B'ham based group Hotel.
Songwriter, vocalist, keyboardist, and Jasper native is Marc Phillips (that's the bhamwiki page)
Here's his home page
Aero,
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to ask you about the AU website. What did you mean when you asked about to NRN beside the countdown? Mine doesn't say that - it says days, hours, minutes. Just trying to figure out what you were seeing. Glad you are safe.
From Jan Terri's web site:
ReplyDelete"I have one brother who is younger then me. He hopes to be either a model/bodybuilder/actor or singer like me."
Hmmm... I didn't see the connection before but it fits. William Hung is Jan Terri's little brother!
I think you're right, THT!
ReplyDeleteHABOTN sure is slow tonight; this calls for some O-zone.
ReplyDeleteNothing keeps the puppets away like Romanian electronica.
link?
ReplyDeleteah, the worst of O-Z0ne
ReplyDeleteThe farcitudes of this place makes me chuckle, I love it.
ReplyDeletemuch better O-zone
ReplyDeleteDragostea Din Tei is seriously over played
Georgia Coach Vince Dooley called him "The Boy Wonder"
ReplyDeleteOthers referred to him as "The Human Deer"
He was TERRY BEASLEY, the greatest receiver in AU history!!!
No arguement there! Though it was before my time, and I doubt you'd try to hit him, with a bb gun.
ReplyDeleteLGG - good point! Those wretched animals were about 15 feet from our back door eating up plants today until I got the bb gun out. A few hours later, they were right back up there again. It's dark now, I'm guessing they'll be sneaking up for thirds if they aren't already out there.
ReplyDeleteIf you see them you can try to hit them again, at least it'd give you a good excuse on why you missed them again :P
ReplyDeleteTerry Beasley was the namesake of my childhood pet, a sheep dog named "Beasley."
ReplyDeleteA great dog.
Terry was an amazing player, but football was not good to him. When I was an officer in the Elmore County AU Club, we invited him to our preseason shindig to give him an award. He was overwhelmed.
I think it's official: the THT family doesn't have a life
ReplyDeleteOne week from now ... I hope we're ahead by 17 at the half.
ReplyDeleteJet, how is your wife?
ReplyDeleteShe's had a rough day, Kathy ... doesn't feel well ... got an antibiotic IV at the ER this a.m., and a new prescription that didn't agree with her.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to put her in the bed for the night.
Who needs a life, when you have Auburn football?
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for her Jet.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded an update for Safari and it scrambled all my buttons.
ReplyDeleteJet, I hope your wife can get a good night's sleep and feels better tomorrow. Hopefully she will after the antibiotics get in her system.
Only 17, Jet?
ReplyDelete17 would be the low end.
ReplyDeletePrayers for her speedy recovery Jet.
ReplyDeleteCIncy, have you updated your Mac to the new Snow Leopard? I've got to go to the Mac Store tomorrow and get the new system upgrade.
ReplyDeleteI'll stick with my PC, macs are too uppity :P
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't yet. I am waiting on my son to answer me as to whether he thinks I should do that. I do love my Mac.
When you get to be my age, you can afford to be uppity! Actually my husband surprised me with a new Mac for my 50th birthday.
ReplyDeleteok, we're well under 7 days 0 minutes 0 seconds til kickoff. Anyone ready for Kickoff Kountdown Day 6 post?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Lyle, just watched my '89 Iron Bowl tape.
ReplyDeleteI am! I am!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update THT! This will be a long week at work.
ReplyDeleteLGG - way too smart!!!
ReplyDeleteCincy, get ready!!!
Very cool Terry Beasley moment jet.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to the wife.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleterats, i meant to put his name at the top as:
ReplyDeleteDr. James E "Win" Lyle IV
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteJust got a text from my son who told me not to upgrade to Snow Leopard yet. Not sure why he wants me to wait, but I will let you know after I talk to him. He is all things Apple, computers, phone, TV, he loves them.
I love reading Auburn football success stories that happen after football is over.
ReplyDelete6 is a difficult number.
ReplyDeleteWin Lyle is a class act, a fine surgeon and was a heck of a kicker.
Trotman is the finest color commentator we've ever had, and takes the ribbing in good spirit of "who was the QB?" when the invariable questions of the Andrews-Brooks-Cribbs arise. He is a fine man.
And the Little Train was one of the most exciting players to ever put an AU jersey ... I hate that he's had some post-career problems.
T-minus SIX days til kickoff!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY DR JAMES E "WIN" LYLE IV DAY!!!!
The following information is copied, with minor modifications, from the Kenny Howard Athletic Fellowship Training web site.
Dr. Win Lyle is a native of Auburn, Alabama, and graduated from Auburn High School and Auburn University. During college, he was the kicker on the Tiger's 1987-1989 S.E.C. Champion football teams. His honors include 3-time Academic All-SEC, 1987 All-SEC First Team PK, and the winner of the coveted Cliff Hare Award, the highest honor for an Auburn student-athlete. He continued playing football after college professionally with the Phoenix Cardinals and the Birmingham Fire.
Thereafter, Dr. Lyle earned his medical degree from The Chicago Medical School and completed an orthopedic surgical residency at Wright State University School of Medicine.

ReplyDeleteWin Lyle is a good man... A good Auburn man.
ReplyDeleteI think in a former life I was a character in Gosford Park. The question is which one?
ReplyDeletejust read an old newspaper story on Colis Cambell, running back from the mid 80s. He was big and fast, but never really escaped the shadows of Bo & Brent.
ReplyDeleteI want to live in a world without the oppression of pants.
ReplyDeletesorry, I dropped this l on the floor.
ReplyDeleteCollis
Those two cast large shadows, THT...
ReplyDeletehave you considered moving to Scotland?
ReplyDeleteI already there JZ and my it is a fine place to live, sure the neighbors scream and its a bit breezy, but it is freedom like no other.
ReplyDeleteMonica,
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that, but I just looked it up and it is something I definitely would like to see. How have I never heard of it?
you're in the comfort of your own home, j-z... why do you have to wear pants?
ReplyDeleteI own a kilt. I wear it frequently.
ReplyDeleteApparently Kodi Burns is play QB for the Prattville Lions tonight. Short hopped another screen pass.
ReplyDeleteyou mean, you wear a dress...
ReplyDeleteDMiller ...
ReplyDeletehe's been doing it for years.
prattvegas playing tonight?
ReplyDeletei did not know j-z was a cross dresser...
ReplyDeleteweirdo
jethro,
ReplyDeletedid you see my post in a previous thread re: brown recluse?
Playing North Gwinnett on CSS. Defense is playing well, the offense is sucking it up pretty good.
ReplyDeleteHey...I was Miss Congeniality in the Mr. AUM contest two years running.
ReplyDeleteWhat up peeps?
ReplyDeleteso, can someone tell me the story of Collis Campbell quitting football in mid 1986 season? and if he got his degree?
ReplyDeleteHe's pictured here with Coach Chizik at a Muscle Shoals AU Club meeting
DMiller ... I did ... her hand looked horrible earlier ... but looks better tonight.
ReplyDeleteanybody with Dish tell me what channel CSS is?
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteYou've got mail.
D Miller,
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can. CSS is Charter Sports Southeast so I think you can only get it on cable. Not positive, but I know we can't get it on Direct.
Yep...Sam Gibson has apparently been watching Kodi's film. 7-3 North Gwinnett.
ReplyDeleteBraves up 9-1 in top of the 8th if anyone is interested. A bunch of homeruns.
ReplyDeleteNO KILTS!
ReplyDeleteCincy - i don't know how you missed it, but I bet you'd find it delicious!
ReplyDeletethat sucks...Charter sucks
ReplyDeleteCan't make the rants if you're sittin' in the pants.
ReplyDeleteSean -You have mail.
ReplyDeletesnort
No CSS on Direct or Dish.
ReplyDeleteDon't want you near, if you dress like ... you're weird.
ReplyDeleteYou can't impress if you're wearing a dress.
ReplyDeleteTHT, thanks for the C.Campbell article.
ReplyDeleteyou also can't make the club if you're in the tub.
ReplyDeletefood for thought, eh?
dresses & tubs are bad.
Chicks think you're built, once they peek beneath the kilt.
ReplyDeleteprovided you don't wilt
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteI found another article from October, 1986 that said he quit the team over a lack of playing time, but rejoined with Dye's blessing a week later.
He's done something 20,000 times in the kilt, but it ain't what Wilt did.
ReplyDeleteI have heard the jury is still out on that in your case...
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteWell, duh, I didn't realize I sent you the same article that you posted. I didn't see the blue. I turn 50 on Monday, blame it on old age.
Chicks on the jury just wanna feel my fury?
ReplyDeleteFitty aint old.... that's just getting warmed up.
ReplyDeleteBest case scenario for JZ would be a "hung" jury.
ReplyDeleteCSS is: Comcast Sports South.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Trotmam was the QB at AU when I was there. His name evokes good memories.
If the glove don't fit, you must acquit.
ReplyDeleteJ-Z has cankles.
ReplyDeleteHoopie,
ReplyDeleteIt is actually Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast according to their website. I always thought Charter and Comcast were competitors?
you two should get a room
ReplyDeletejet and jz, that is
ReplyDeletei've got the keys to the champagne room if you need them.
ReplyDelete;)
bow chicka whow whow
ReplyDeleteAw, Monica ... it just some good ol' frat brother humor.
ReplyDeleteuh huh...we all know the REAL frat bro initiation...not that there's anything wrong with that
ReplyDeleteI am arguing with my dog... he wants to watch the game with me. But, I told him he had to finish his dinner first. Until he cleans his dish, he can't come out of his room. He doesn't seem to want to agree with me.
ReplyDeleteD Miller,
ReplyDeleteYou sound like my daughter. She is the only person I know who puts her dogs in timeout!
arguing with my dogs gets me a one way ticket to frustration-ville.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what kind of 'frat' initiation you're referring to, Mon... but from your (typed) tone, I don't think my fraternity took part in that initiation practice.
ReplyDeleteTalking about my cankles, causes me to rankle.
ReplyDeleteD. Your wife is studying to much! Tell her to come out of that room and talk to you.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of dogs, she is fostering a 1/2 year old Golden Retriever who has been treated and is recovering from heart worms. She said he is a beauty with a true GR personality, he worships the ground you walk on. Just in case anyone is looking for a new companion.
ReplyDeleteNo skin, no pin.
ReplyDeletesupposed to say 1 & 1/2 year old golden
ReplyDeleteI've got nothing for that.
ReplyDeleteCoop (my dog) and I get along just fine...
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to teach him to speak english, and he's trying to teach me doggish. I'm not sure either of us are getting through to the other.
Gibson just threw one hell of a pass for a TD.
ReplyDelete2 point conversion good. 14-11 North Gwinnett with 6 minutes to play.
ReplyDeleteIs N. Gwinett that good, or has Prattvegas not played well??
ReplyDeleteN Gwinnett has played really well, but Prattville's offense has not done anything until the last 2 drives. This has been a good game so far.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOh...there it is.
ReplyDeleteLessons from Magnum Force:
ReplyDeleteHarry Callahan > Vigilante Biker Cops
A man's got to know his limitations, ehyou.
ReplyDeletei like that you liked my commercial
ReplyDeleteHuh?
ReplyDeleteOne week from now, we'll be celebrating a 38-17 victory.
ReplyDeleteSo close....
ReplyDeleteAnd yet so far.
ReplyDeleteI liked that I liked your commercial.
ReplyDeleteWoot Woot.
