cincytiger said...: Jay,
Reading your article on Chris Todd makes my orange colored glasses a little shinier.; 11:38 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: They're pretty enthusiastic about Todd and his situation.; 11:40 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 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.

We're out of here for a while.

WAR EAGLE!!!; 11:41 AM
cincytiger said...: THT,
You're my hero!; 11:42 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Biggest regret of my life so far, not transfering to St Thomas Aquinas for my senior year; 11:44 AM
Miller said...: Luv, see my post on the last thread re: wedding.; 11:44 AM
Miller said...: Why didn't you, hag?; 11:45 AM
j-z said...: Nice articles Mr. Tate.

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.; 11:45 AM
cincytiger said...: 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!; 11:46 AM
Kathy said...: 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.; 11:49 AM
Kathy said...: Off to wash some vehicles. Have a great Saturday.; 11:50 AM
Jet said...: Auburn's most beloved player.; 12:14 PM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 12:22 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 12:22 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Preview-in-a-box is better than Justin Timberlake's idea for in-a-box.

This time next week, I'll be in Auburn!!!!!! Can't wait.; 12:23 PM
Anonymous said...: Kathy..keep those grandkids away from the dark side.

May the Hate be with you.; 12:25 PM
Bfoster18 said...: JG, nice story on Todd. I'm still skeptical. I'm sure everybody is until we see it live next week.; 12:26 PM
Monica said...: 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.; 12:28 PM
j-z said...: Perhaps Mr. Brady should hope that doesn't happen.; 12:30 PM
Monica said...: If he knew me I'm sure he'd be making sure it didn't happen.; 12:34 PM
cincytiger said...: Monica,
If he knew you, he'd be making sure it DID happen! Come on now!!!; 12:35 PM
Monica said...: awww Cincy, Thanks :-)
Only the really nice people lie to you when you need it the most.; 12:38 PM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 12:40 PM
Anonymous said...: Mon...will Greg be there when you meet Mr. Brady?; 12:44 PM
Monica said...: hush; 12:45 PM
Monica said...: Greg said he makes me carry a picture of him around my neck, but he appreciates you having his back, Hoopie.; 12:49 PM
Anonymous said...: Mrs. 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.

She 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.; 12:50 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: 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; 12:51 PM
Anonymous said...: Fom all accounts...Greg is a good guy...jus' sayin'.; 12:52 PM
Anonymous said...: hag....how about your current teammates?; 12:54 PM
Jet said...: 1. Eddie ... i won't rule it out yet on Tyrik.

2. 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.; 12:59 PM
Monica said...: I share Mrs. THT's deep appreciation for Kirk. She has excellent taste.

Greg is 100% top shelf.

Jet - You're good.; 1:06 PM
Monica said...: sheesh I meant Mrs. Hoopie's!

I do so enjoy looking at Herbie.; 1:07 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 1:09 PM
Jet said...: I spent 3 years in a caved-in tool shed when we lived in Wetumpka.; 1:10 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 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.; 1:16 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: speaking of ESPN, um...talent, whatcha think about this?

Erin Andrews - most overrated female tv gal ever.

Wendy Nix - very underrated female tv personality.

just sayin'.; 1:19 PM
cincytiger said...: 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); 1:19 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: ok, enough of that nonsense. i'm off to cut the grass.; 1:20 PM
cincytiger said...: If 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.; 1:20 PM
j-z said...: I think Scottie's angling for a trip to the Champagne Room.; 1:22 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 1:24 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: JZ- As much jack as Scottie lays down, I think they renamed the room after him.; 1:25 PM
Monica said...: awww thank you, Scottie

I like Rivals, Cincy.

Eddie - Can't imagine you'd ever hear bottom shelf from your wife.; 1:26 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Mon- Nah, just cheap stuff.; 1:28 PM
Monica said...: Ignore the haters, Scottie. You know you're the mackest HABOTN gangsta around. ;-); 1:29 PM
j-z said...: Just remember what Chris Rock says about the Champagne Room, Scottie.; 1:29 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: That's right Mon. He even has the neon wristband to prove it still on from last night :)!!!; 1:33 PM
Monica said...: Scottie's a hellova lot better looking than Chris Rock, too...; 1:36 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: This link is so bad it's funny.

The Lane Kiffen Show with Nick Saban

PS- There is some bad language.; 1:41 PM
cincytiger said...: Where'd everyone go?; 2:17 PM
digger4au said...: Pat Sullivan NUFF SAID.

Jay 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; 2:34 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 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).

yall 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.; 2:56 PM
Aeronaut said...: Happy Pat Sullivan day.

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'.; 3:04 PM
michael said...: Jay, great point on Jant Terri not needing to see Goblins to make Get Down Goblin. That's changed my whole perspective.; 3:13 PM
The Truth Hurts said...: Pat Sullivan was not the MVP of the 1971 Sugar Bowl.; 3:57 PM
Unknown said...: 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.; 4:17 PM
AUfan said...: 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.; 4:30 PM
coosa said...: 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.; 5:02 PM
Aeronaut said...: Stevo

I 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.; 5:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 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.; 5:12 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Boy, Chelsea look bloody good today men........and Man U fans.; 5:16 PM
Jet said...: THT ...

OU that day ...

87 rushes for 439 yards.; 5:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 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.; 5:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: three 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.; 5:28 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: dang. I hope we are still invited to St. Thomas Auqitas' campus.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: 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.; 6:11 PM
michael said...: THT - believe me, I have looked online before, and I have never been able to come across a Jan Terri album for sale.

I 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.; 6:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, I regret you can't expect it under the Christmas tree from me, Michael.; 6:28 PM
Miller said...: wow! you aren't kidding, Michael... $500...wow!; 6:30 PM
Aeronaut said...: I wish I could listen to "Fax my love" just one time before I die.; 6:36 PM
Aeronaut said...: Not really. But the concept is amazing.. 'fax my love'.

Man 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.; 6:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 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.

cincytiger said...: 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.; 6:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: From Jan Terri's web site:
"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!; 6:51 PM
cincytiger said...: I think you're right, THT!; 6:54 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: HABOTN sure is slow tonight; this calls for some O-zone.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: ah, the worst of O-Z0ne; 7:20 PM
LGGByron said...: The farcitudes of this place makes me chuckle, I love it.; 7:23 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: much better O-zone

Dragostea Din Tei is seriously over played; 7:27 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Georgia Coach Vince Dooley called him "The Boy Wonder"

Others referred to him as "The Human Deer"

He was TERRY BEASLEY, the greatest receiver in AU history!!!; 7:27 PM
LGGByron said...: No arguement there! Though it was before my time, and I doubt you'd try to hit him, with a bb gun.; 7:35 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 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.; 7:38 PM
LGGByron said...: If 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; 7:39 PM
Jet said...: 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.; 7:45 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: I think it's official: the THT family doesn't have a life; 7:45 PM
Jet said...: One week from now ... I hope we're ahead by 17 at the half.; 7:51 PM
Kathy said...: Jet, how is your wife?; 7:52 PM
Jet said...: She'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.

I'm about to put her in the bed for the night.; 7:54 PM
LGGByron said...: Who needs a life, when you have Auburn football?; 7:55 PM
LGGByron said...: I'll be praying for her Jet.; 7:55 PM
cincytiger said...: I just downloaded an update for Safari and it scrambled all my buttons.

Jet, 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.; 7:55 PM
cincytiger said...: Only 17, Jet?; 7:56 PM
Jet said...: 17 would be the low end.; 7:58 PM
Kathy said...: Prayers for her speedy recovery Jet.; 8:00 PM
Kathy said...: CIncy, 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.; 8:05 PM
LGGByron said...: I'll stick with my PC, macs are too uppity :P; 8:07 PM
cincytiger said...: Kathy,
No, 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.; 8:09 PM
Kathy said...: 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.; 8:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ok, we're well under 7 days 0 minutes 0 seconds til kickoff. Anyone ready for Kickoff Kountdown Day 6 post?; 8:10 PM
LGGByron said...: I'm guessing Lyle, just watched my '89 Iron Bowl tape.; 8:10 PM
cincytiger said...: I am! I am!; 8:11 PM
Kathy said...: Thanks for the update THT! This will be a long week at work.; 8:12 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: LGG - way too smart!!!

Cincy, get ready!!!; 8:12 PM
ehyou said...: Very cool Terry Beasley moment jet.

Best wishes to the wife.; 8:12 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 8:13 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: rats, i meant to put his name at the top as:

Dr. James E "Win" Lyle IV; 8:15 PM
cincytiger said...: 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.; 8:17 PM
cincytiger said...: I love reading Auburn football success stories that happen after football is over.; 8:19 PM
Jet said...: 6 is a difficult number.

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.; 8:20 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: T-minus SIX days til kickoff!!!

HAPPY DR JAMES E "WIN" LYLE IV DAY!!!!

The following information is copied, with minor modifications, from the Kenny Howard Athletic Fellowship Training web site.

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.

You've got mail.; 9:10 PM
