You know football season is here when Auburn begins producing GAME NOTES.

I even smelled the packet in an effort to get a Xerox high. Hey, it's probably better for you than Scotchguard.

  3. Remember the mimeograph smell from when we were kids? It's hard to believe an entire generation of kids will never know that smell.

  4. j-z, man, I never forget to sniff.

  5. It hits that unfortunate akward girl sitting just behind the brick wall. That's the 5th ball to the head for her since she started high school. She's so unlucky she has her own theory...The girl that always gets hit in the head by a rogue basketball.

    Jay...any chance posting the pdf of the game notes? Probably isn't allowed. I see the ESPNU symbol. I guess that is announcing the network carrying the game.

    Did I read that Brock Huard will be providing color commentary for the game?

    Did he play for Florida? I am trying to place him.

    I also noticed where Auburn and Alabama have the most opening season wins of SEC schools. I wonder if there is a study about the irrationality of either fan base following those wins?

  13. wow - returning 80% of rushing yardage? B Lester and T Davis combined for only 20% of last years total on the ground?
    Is that including E Smith's yardage? Forget him at your own risk

  14. Last meeting - AU 52 ULM 7 October 2004?

    Did the NY Times write this?

    Yeah but when 100% of your passing and 80% of your rushing equals less than 18 points per SEC game, is it a thing to celebrate?

    Just saying...

  16. I love game week.

    I hate UAT.

    And for the purposes of this week ... I hate La. Tech.

    ReplyDelete
  17. 20% of not much = very lttle - that is why I was surprised about Davis and Lester.

    You know it's a big game when Eric Collins is in the booth and Beth Mowins is on the sideline.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Sensi- I think you are getting Brock Haurd confused with Brock Berlin, who started with Florida and then transfered to Miami.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Not to be confused with The Birmingham Rfile, Dieter Brock

    ReplyDelete
  20. Brock Huard played at U-Dub, didn't he?

    ReplyDelete
  21. yup, Brock Huard is a Pac-10 guy. played at Washington. i dvr College Football Live on ESPN and he's on there every now & then. he's not bad.

    ReplyDelete
  22. oh, JG, when it leaves Caudle's hands it.....is interecepted? please no.

    ReplyDelete
  23. oh, and Hoopie, auburntigers.com usually posts those game notes online so you can print them out every week. i usually do for tailgating purposes. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  24. You use the gamenotes to tailgate? I use Jack Daniels and Coke Zero, myself.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  27. Im sure this is old news around here but did anyone see the 99 yard pick 6 by our own Jonathan Wilhite during the Pat v Skins game? It was pretty awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  28. The mimeograph smell takes me to Calvary Baptist Church in Batesville, MS where my mom was secretary and bulletin producer. Smells can trigger memories like nothing else.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Mimeograph smell means Floyd Elementary/Junior High ... nine years of walking 2 blocks to school.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Those 9 years were pretty tough Jr. High years for you weren't they Jet?

    ReplyDelete
  31. nope, Scottie B. TV...we were supposed to go to Stillwater for the UGA/OK State game, but our plans just changed. Kinda sad. I wanted to see the house T Boone built.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Norm ...

    They were a walk in the park compared to my final two years of secondary education.

    ReplyDelete
  33. bummer PF. it looks entirely possible that i may have a single ticket available if some hottie wants to sit with me at the game. i'll keep yall updated. i think i'm getting stood up....well, in advance. :(

    ReplyDelete
  34. Bourbon and Coke = Sacrilege.

    Jet, I read your last post wrong. I missed the elementary part. I was concerned.

    ReplyDelete
  35. And thank you for that Jet!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Dang Norm... j-z = day late, dollar short.

  38. j-z, it's alright, you and I were clearly on the same page.

    ReplyDelete
  39. North Brewton Elementary School = mimeograph memories

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm not even sure I'm old enough to know what a mimeograph is...

    Or maybe, I'm just old enough to have forgotten.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Norm and J-Z ... high on mimeographic ink ... forgetting the academic brilliance that was Jet as a youngster ... a pure genius ... Baby Einstein.

    That's my story ... I'm stickin' with it.

    Prattville Elementary School, Mrs Parker's 3rd grade....smelling mimeographs meant you were taking a test.

    ReplyDelete
  43. You do that Jet. You stick with that story. Don't you worry your little head about various folks on this board who'll refute the story. You just keep telling it.

    Baby Einstein Jet. I think a new avatar is in order.

  44. Mimeograph. Was that the old purple copies that were slightly wet when they first came out of the machine. I can remember. a unique smell. mimeograph is to copies what the new car smell is to ....new car buyers.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Every time y'all talk about new page smell on this blog I think about the mimeograph smell.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hoop. I had Mrs. Phelps in elemetary school at prattville. If you ever had her, you would remember, as she was sure to have broken a ruler over your back, much like she did to me on multiple occasions.

    That would be child abuse today. Back then, it made you mind.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I graduated with Mrs. Phelps' son. I'm pretty sure she treated him the same way.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yep Sponge - those were the purple copies that we got. The more purple the better!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. The old wet purple copies that smeared ever so easily? Ok, I remember those now. Smelled like turpentine...

    I used to have to go make copies for the teacher all the time in elementary school, using that thing... I was purple myself by the time I got home...

    ReplyDelete
  50. And that D Miller is what we call a contact high. Congrats

    ReplyDelete
  51. I used to volunteer to go make the copies
    1) for the buzz I got off them
    2) cause I got an advance copy of the test...

    ReplyDelete
  52. All I'm thinking for Saturday is a bunch of no's: No Drops, No Picks, and No injuries.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Practice notes are UP.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Jz. ever have Mrs Luzanne. She used to tell stories of some guy with a horse head. And the one about kids playing in the coat closet and they were swallowed by a huge python. (She used to tell that one to keep us from hiding in there). Pretty funny looking back on it.

  55. family feud on the new thread

    ReplyDelete
  56. Okay so I did some reading on La Tech's site (okay so I'm anxious and nervous), evidently they were a decent run and a very poor passing team in their conference last year, and it should be more of the same this year. I'm hoping the D Line and LB depth can handle their run, because they will probably be doing that alot, from what it sounds like.
