Scott M. Brannan said...: i would love multiple tv's. don't have enough room for that, though. right now i have 71 framed prints/photos on the wall. i need to take more pics and post. you can see a little on my blog (i don't update it much, though).

Eddie, when they sold off the old lockers during the renovation a couple years ago i snagged one. it looks pimp in the corner.; 11:54 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: we just have a cave.

Hopefully we'll have replace the 2 dead tvs with a functioning one in about 2 weeks.; 11:55 AM
Unknown said...: Screw multiple TV screens. I am after multiple computer monitors. I have 2 22" HD screens now. I am looking to get it to four.; 11:56 AM
Aubie said...: A man cave is my dream. I have the full unfinished basement just waiting on the disposable income.; 11:56 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: THT, you've only got 29 days left to have that new tv in your crib.; 11:56 AM
Unknown said...: Argh, I may have to sell some stock and grab an HDTV soon.; 11:57 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Wow, I go to lunch and there are around 100 posts in an hour.

For the record I have Florida vs LSU in the SEC title game.; 11:58 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: it'll change your life Steve. but if you're already used to HD monitors it may not be that big of a transition.; 11:59 AM
FSJ said...: Peter..I have a private balcony off mine too that needs to be cleaned in a bad way.; 12:00 PM
mytommyd said...: Kentucky v Arkansas in the Championship game -- mark it!!!; 12:01 PM
Unknown said...: I do have a 32" HDTV, but it weighs around 400# and if it was any older it would have been gas powered. Has great sound though.; 12:01 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Ole Miss will finish 3rd, 4th or 5th in the SEC West.; 12:01 PM
FSJ said...: Steve...

I would love a couple of 30 inch monitors but I'd probably get my rear end whipped if I did that.; 12:02 PM
Unknown said...: Hmmm, just heard a theory on MSNBC that the economy is doing better because Obama is losing power. Not really surprising because Wall Street went into suck mode when they found out Obama or McCain would be the new president.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Auburn blog.; 12:03 PM
Unknown said...: I thought about going with something like 30" monitors, but 22" with 1920x1080 works well for me and leaves room for more monitors.; 12:05 PM
mytommyd said...: FSJ - no privileges for heading up the company?!?; 12:05 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ScottieB - my tv is supposed to hit the shelves on 8/16. The first one that arrives will be delivered to my house.; 12:06 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: NICE!!!!!; 12:08 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Aubie - that is a great list. A few of them are actually correct, including one of the Sullivans ;-); 12:09 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: has anyone else noticed that we are using a different football this season? we've changed from the Spalding Advance to the Wilson ball.

not that it matters. i'm just a sporting goods guy. :); 12:10 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Off topic for a second...I just wanted to praise the combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

Pure genius.; 12:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica -re: your 11:51 post, refer to my 11:30 post; 12:11 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: WERK - no one appreciates the inventiono of PB&Choc ice cream as much as MrsTHT.
(MissTHT was born 3 weeks early about 12 hours after MrsTHT ate nearly a pint of B&R PB&Choc ice cream); 12:13 PM
Unknown said...: I really didn't want to mention the Pat Sullivan being 7 thang, but while we are at it, there are 3 numbers that are retired at Auburn: 7-Sullivan, 88-Beasley, 34-some dude named Jackson. In my opinion 74 should also be retired because of probably the best linemen to every play at Auburn, Rocker.; 12:13 PM
ehyou said...: RK...
I'm not a huge choc fan, but throw in some PB and pure genius is a spot on description. If jet were here we would doubtless get an Officer Reece mention.; 12:17 PM

Scott M. Brannan said...: i wouldn't complain a bit if they honored Rocker that way SFC.; 12:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Fan - There is some confusion as to the origin of the word fan. Paul Dickson, in his Dickson Baseball Dictionary, cites William Henry Nugent's work that traces it to fancy, a 19th century term from England that referred mainly to followers of boxing. It was originally shortened to fance then just to the homonym fans. The word emerged as an Americanism around 1889. Many assume that it's a shortened version of the word fanatic, and the word did first become popular in reference to an enthusiastic follower of a baseball team. (Fanatic itself, introduced into English around 1525, means "insane person". It comes from the Modern Latin fanaticus, meaning "insanely but divinely inspired". The word originally pertained to a temple or sacred place [Latin fanum, poetic English fane]. The modern sense of "extremely zealous" dates from around 1647; the use of fanatic as a noun dates from 1650.) However, the term "fancy" for an intense liking of something, while being of a different etymology, coincidentally carries somewhat the same connotation as "fanatic".; 12:19 PM
ehyou said...: This is my favorite music video. Plus the song get's me stoked!; 12:19 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Someone was telling me about an LED enhanced Plasma the other day that reduces some of the glare problems that Plasma have. Anyone got any info on this? The only LED aided I can find online is still LCD (which touts better viewing angles).; 12:20 PM
Unknown said...: OKay, off on weird subject. I just got a call from my dog's animal clinic. They were reminding me of his appointment monday. They asked that I also bring a fecal sample so they can test it. Has anyone ever had a vet ask for that?

My response? I will bring a fecal sample. It will be in the dog.; 12:21 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: FSJ, i will say there is one section of your cave that i really, really like. ;)

SFC, if you really said that to the vet, that's hilarious.; 12:22 PM
ehyou said...: Steve...
Give him a human sample and see if he figures it out.; 12:23 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Steve,

The vet has asked us for that and to also given us some absorbing pebbles to get a unrine sample from our cat.

I didn't figure that was my responsibility since I'm paying the vet bill.; 12:23 PM
FSJ said...: LMAO..

I dare my vet to ask for one of those.; 12:23 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: SFC,

My vet (a great Auburn guy!) always asks for that. Since I am a responsible pet owner and always pick up the poo, I just bring that morning's bag along.; 12:24 PM
Anonymous said...: Steve - You can do that and they will use a probe. The dog will love you more after I am sure of it. They are checking for heartworms, up north it is a stool sample.; 12:24 PM
Anonymous said...: ehyou - that is funny, I tell you what.; 12:25 PM
Harrison said...: RK- we've had to do that before it sucks; 12:25 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Wow, this thread was going so strong until pet poop entered the discussion. I'll add that to the list:

Way to kill a thread #217: Talk about pet poop.; 12:31 PM
AUMom said...: Sorry if this was discussed last night....

On PTI (I listen to the podcast), Wilbon just gave the Auburn-Alabama rivalry a shout out as the best college rivalry. No other rivalries were mentioned.; 12:35 PM
missinit said...: Are posts numbered somewhere or are y'all just keeping count from what's posted at the top and bottom of the page??? I know it's a stupid question but for some strange reason I would really like to know.........; 12:36 PM
wtc said...: Wait until you stud the dog out and the vet says he can show you how to get the sample yourself so you don't need to come in the clinic each time.; 12:37 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, I said that to the vet, or at least his assistant. It is a good point that if I bring a sample, they won't have to go get it. That would mean I wouldn't get to see the surprised look on my dogs face. Hmmm, is that a good or bad thing?; 12:37 PM
mytommyd said...: Nice FSJ. Little too much crimpson for my taste, but I certainly wouldn't decline coming over for a drink ... or 2; 12:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: if you use night vision goggles you can see the number of each post by the avatar; 12:38 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: speaking of pet poop...I smell a large work dump about to arrive :-(

HABOTN playtime may be over for me; 12:44 PM
Unknown said...: How will Jay G handle two-a-days? Has he been working out to get through it. With the late practices, the guy has to have an unreal work schedule these days.; 12:45 PM
michael said...: The herd is good. I have not had to buy feed all summer, as I re-routed a nearby creek to irrigate the fields they live in. Probably illegal, but it saved me a ton of money. Unfortunately, this “creek” was actually the waste product coming out of a nearby chemical plant. The herd glows now, which is cool. They have also grown opposable thumbs and started their own light jazz ensemble. I think I caught some fashioning some sort of weapons also.; 12:50 PM
michael said...: So anyway, yeah, the herd is good.; 12:50 PM
missinit said...: THT.....you owe me!!! I just spewed diet Coke all over my clothes. (I will sending you the dry cleaning bill.)

The DL should be solid. I like that group.

Someone find me a couple of more linebackers and we are going to be very good.; 12:59 PM
AUNugget said...: I like it Steve....i can pretty much talk myself into that too anytime i have had somthing to drink and start watching old highlight clips on youtube.; 1:00 PM
Anonymous said...: I was just gonna ask if Steve is drinking Firefly Vodka yet?; 1:03 PM
Unknown said...: I just read an article from the most reliable information source on the web, namely the bleacher report, that says we were not disciplined on offense or defense last season. That is a unique view.; 1:05 PM
Unknown said...: Gotta work on my trash talk for the coming season. So far I will go with "my defensive line coach can kick your defensive line coach's butt".; 1:08 PM
AUNugget said...: i would maybe agree with that about the offense, but i think the defense just broke. you can't have your defense on the field for 45 min a game and expect them to be too productive. i thought they did well considering....except the second half of the wva game. and the iron bowl.; 1:09 PM
Unknown said...: Last years defense was one of the better ones we have had and I would be happy with a defense like that any season.

As for the offense, discipline isn't a word that would immediately come to mind to describe it.; 1:11 PM

Scott Chocolate said...: Inspired by yesterday's "Schoolhouse Rock" discussion:

The score was tied at zero all, uh huh.
When Brodie found he had the ba-all.
AU made a connection with his mid-section
And the crowd started shouting out interjections -

"AW"! That must have hurt!
"DARN"! You're not kidding!
HOORAY"! I'll bet that happens 10 more times.; 1:13 PM
Monica said...: THT re: the Beaslely post - that's way too time consuming for my ADD brain!; 1:15 PM
ehyou said...: For me to have that much booze in my house, I would have to buy it all at one time. It tends to disappear quickly.; 1:15 PM
ehyou said...: If you like School House Rock, here's another that should revive fond memories.; 1:18 PM
Monica said...: I LOVE Schoolhouse Rock, but I've never seen the Contact bit.; 1:21 PM
ehyou said...: Oh well, 3-2-1 Contact was a show on PBS when I was a kid. Loved it.; 1:24 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I didn't watch a lot of "3-2-1 Contact", as I was in high school, then at AU when it ran. I will, however, confess to watching some "Sesame Street" while at AU. When you don't have cable, it beats the hell out of soap operas while eating lunch, plus Grover and Ernie & Bert were (and still are) hilarious.; 1:24 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I will admit to flipping through the channels a couple of weekends ago and watching some Sesame Street on a Saturday morning.; 1:26 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: My AU tv set-up freshman year -

13" b&w, no cable, no remote, took 24 seconds from the time you turned it on to get warmed up enough to have a picture.

I can't believe my roommates and I actually watched major sporting events on that thing.; 1:28 PM

Aeronaut said...: Back in the day I had 5 tvs in a 1BR apt. And a projector. Yeah I had a tv in the bathroom.

We used to hook up the projector on game days, and watch the games outdoor on 15' projection screen. That way my guests would grill, drink, swim, smoke, puke, etc while watching the game, and without ruining my apartment.

Are you going to be like Spurrier and have a golden team that you always put in the first poll of the year?; 1:45 PM
Aeronaut said...: Four out of those 5 tvs I picked from curbs where people left them, while moving or graduating. Some of them were not working when I picked them.

God bless RCA for their craptastic soldering on the board. Took me 10 minutes to fix each tv.; 1:45 PM

JGT - you gonna at least squeak us in at 25?; 1:46 PM

Put the names in a hat and pull them out.

Aeronaut said...: By the way, on Wednesday we nailed the taliban / alqaeda boss that had $5 Mil reward.

I was pretty upset because initial reports were that we missed him, and only nailed his plump young wife (figuratively speaking).

But .. yeahh. They carried his carcass in a bucket.; 1:57 PM

Harrison said...: Who gets the reward?; 2:01 PM

Harrison said...: good work jay g, you earned it; 2:02 PM
Aeronaut said...: JGT

Nice order. I'll switch TCU and BYU though. Just for the heck of it.

I'll switch Utah and bama because that's .. I think.. the order of things.; 2:02 PM
mytommyd said...: Mr Tate - You really think South Carolina is going to pull that off?!?; 2:02 PM
mytommyd said...: or is Southern cal so good they need to be there twice; 2:03 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 3 and 5 are both overrated; 2:03 PM

Superb. Congrats.; 2:04 PM

Jay G. Tate said...: I had Boise State on there twice initially. Now USC gets the honors!; 2:08 PM
Aeronaut said...: Nobody gets the reward. It was one of our drones. Nice little machines.

I wish someone could claim the reward, but CIA will charge that someone the cost of mission and the missiles. That's a lot more than $5 mil.; 2:08 PM

Scott Chocolate said...: Monica - I'm gonna go with "The Rockford Files". James Garner as Jim Rockford.

Rockford; 2:10 PM
AUMom said...: JGT, I like your poll except for the Trojans. What have they done without Leinart & Bush? I am so over anything about them.

As far as I am concerned, they are the Bama of the Pac 10.; 2:11 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I have drones.

They're not deployed in Afghanistan/Pakistan/Iraq, though.; 2:11 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: OK. I'll just take Southern Cal off the ballot. They're terrible.

13-3 against Top 10 opponents since Pete Carroll arrived.

12-1 in 2008.

11-2 the year before.

11-2 the year before that.

Sucky program, no doubt at all.; 2:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: nice comeback, JayGT...though I dislike them enough to keep them just outside the top 5.; 2:17 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: for $3+ million, Ferentz better get his Iowa boys in there somewhere.; 2:21 PM
ehyou said...: Chris Todd? Really?

I predict that his arm will fall off in practice and he'll be standing there ala the Black Knight saying he's fine and ready to play.; 2:22 PM
E-Bro said...: I've never understood the SEC's blind hatred of USC. My problem in 2004 was always more with Oklahoma (where the wind comes sweeping down the plains), even before SC took them behind the woodshed in Miami.; 2:24 PM
Unknown said...: EB, there is no way that Oklahoma team should have been in the BCSCG in 2004. They nearly lost to a couple of teams. I think they beat Texas A&M by a late field goal if I remember correctly.; 2:27 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I think the SEC's fans hatred of USC comes from their lack of competition week to week in the Pac-10 and it seems the NCAA doesn't bother to look into anything there, but they will come running to a SEC campus if there is a question.; 2:28 PM
ehyou said...: EddieBro...
I don't think it's so much 2004. I just don't like anyone that's good. But then again, I'm more cynical than most.; 2:28 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou - I'm having a deja vu moment with your 2:22 post. You're freaking me out.; 2:29 PM
FSJ said...: It's just a flesh wound..; 2:32 PM
Unknown said...: Who will get the start at deep snapper?; 2:32 PM
E-Bro said...: Agreed Steve, I think you can make a case against all three teams that year, but most especially OU. My only problem with SC was that when they struggled to beat a mediocre (at best) UCLA team by five points, their effort that day was hailed as Championship material while we were dissed a couple of weeks earlier from only beating Bama by 8 (and that after they scored a late TD). Not to mention that our ten point victory over UT (a ten win team that season) was treated like a letdown on the same day that USC pulled a rabbit out of the hat to beat the Bruins.; 2:33 PM
AUMom said...: USC plays mostly PAC 10 teams, not quite the powerhouse of the SEC.

Two of those Top 10 teams were Ohio State ranked #1 (that was certainly impressive).

I don't like them. They beat us soundly in 2003, I understand that but that doesn't mean I think they are worthy of the rankings they get now.; 2:36 PM
Unknown said...: Here is a MA article on Todzilla. Jay, did you right this? I don't see the author listed.; 2:38 PM
Unknown said...: USC had a very good team in 2004. I don't know if we would have beat them, but we would have done much better than that train wreck which was Oklahoma.; 2:40 PM
Monica said...: Choc - Rockford Files! Yes! And you're so right, ehyou about the bungalow, etc. Thanks.; 2:43 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I agree with Steve. We would have played USC far closer than Oklahoma did...however I don't think we would have beaten them.; 2:44 PM
ehyou said...: THT...
Thanks man. I do sometimes have that effect on folks.; 2:44 PM
E-Bro said...: No doubt that the PAC-10 is weaker than the SEC. If you put SC in the SEC, their dominance becomes a lot more fragile and Florida is definitely the program of that past three or four years. That said, Carroll is 4-0 against SEC teams with a combined score of 167-48.; 2:44 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: This place is going to get absolutely outrageous when the football season starts...compared to the prior seasons I've been flying with HABOTN; 2:47 PM
Unknown said...: Compare and contrast Auburn's recruiting area versus USC's.

USC is surrounded by UCLA, Stanford, Cal, San Diego State.

Auburn is surrounded by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee.

So, lets lay some money down. I would take the 4 teams surrounding Auburn over the teams surrounding USC pretty much any season.; 2:54 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: jhag - that's right.

I just looked at 2 years ago during middle of fall practice
8/24 and 8/25... Only 1 blog each day. 8/24 got 4 posts (half of which were by JGT) and the following day got a 50% boost to 6 total posts. I hate to think of all I've missed!; 2:57 PM

Apparently there is an engineer somewhere on my network spamming blogger.com. Who knew?; 2:58 PM
michael said...: Looking at the past convo... USC's praise is deserved. They would have multiple championships if they didn't screw up against incredibly inferior opponents at least once a year. I'd say they are above Florida right now as the top program in the country.

I mean seriously, check out their nonconference schedule + results the last few years. It's unbelievable.; 3:03 PM

michael said...: Nice, THT. You should be in charge of the "MJT Discontinuity/Goofs" section of the HABOTN FAQ. I am sure they happen quite often.; 3:27 PM

nanoseconds aren't real, THT. I don't believe in a time unit that I can't count in.

I also don't believe in number I haven't counted to. Thus, I deem all numbers above 1,689 to be fake.

Jet said...: Hello. I am back. Resume all hating UAT activities.; 3:33 PM
michael said...: THT - glad that one stuck with ya!

Another discontinuity is this: do I own a sheep farm or a goat farm? If you had asked me a few months ago, I would have said, "Wel..... ehhh... let me go check." But now I will just say I have always owned both. So never mind, no goof to see here. I have always owned both a sheep farm and a goat farm!; 3:34 PM

Here's hoping your conference was sub-par.; 3:35 PM
Monica said...: I have been left alone in my office. The entire staff is gone. I feel like I should do something bayud.; 3:36 PM
Jet said...: Feeling quite conferred ... have I missed anything?

My computer had no signal in my room, so I was, amazingly, with tech-blocked for close to 72 hours.

The much beloved HABOTN videos made it impossible for me to check in on the Dingleberry.

So I'm further out of the loop than I've ever been. Has Justin Albert looking?; 3:39 PM
michael said...: Jet - you were in my dream last night!; 3:41 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jet's here? I'm gone! No, unrelated, but time for me to GTHOH!!!; 3:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm about to have a 9 day weekend!!! Yippeee!!!; 3:44 PM

FSJ said...: oooh yeah.; 3:50 PM
michael said...: I had a dream last night. A bunch of Hotties were in a board room. Mon was there, so was FSJ. Jay G was at the front of the table. I was toward the back. Then across from me I realized Jet had shown up! He didn't usually come to the HABOTN board meeting! So we were all excited about that. It seems like Jet had a lot to say, but I don't really remember what.

So Jay G was talking, going over business items or something, and then it was his wife's turn to talk. It was the first time for me to see his wife (who I have never seen a picture of in real life), and she was really quite attractive in my dream. I wondered if Jay G would appreciate it if I mentioned it to him that his wife was attractive or if he would be really offended. I sat there wondering that for awhile, I must have been distracted, because then something horrible happened...

It was apparently a lunch meeting, and I had a hot dog. I looked down, and someone had taken the hot dog out of my bun and eaten some of it, and then they put it back in my bun. I was livid. FSJ started laughing at me (I have no idea what FSJ looks like, but I knew it was him in my dream). I was like, "Haha, very funny!"

And then I woke up and was like, "I hope I remember this dream tomorrow so I can post it." And then I remembered it and posted it. The end.; 3:50 PM
