Practice notes, 8/30
Hey everyone. Let's boogie.
- Auburn practiced for approximately two hours in the rain this evening. The team was in full pads.
- Gene Chizik seemed unusually satisfied with the effort he saw on the field tonight.
- Chizik still seems pretty high on S Daren Bates, even entertaining the idea of starting the freshman at free safety on Saturday.
- Kodi Burns sounded confident that he's the Wildcat quarterback.
- TB Mario Fannin said he's the No. 1 guy on punt return and is in a mix with Onterio McCalebb, Harry Adams and Terrell Zachery on the kickoff-return team.
- OL Andrew McCain said he'll be spending more time than usual this week watching "cut-ups" of Louisiana Tech's defensive front. Auburn's video guys provide DVDs for players to view at home. McCain thinks many players will cherish those DVDs this week.
- Walt McFadden said Chizik has been showing highlights of Auburn's 2004 season lately ... in an effort to show younger players how things are supposed to work on the Plains.

NO DROPS!!!
I'm back
nothing better than football in the rain!
I hope no one slid and got their head caught under a fence.
The THT crew taking it to all hours of the evening..
I saw the Bham newspapers today and it had the projected starting line-ups for AU and bama. Thay had Bates as the starter along with Ethridge.
Corey Barlow was underrated. As was Eltin Billingsley. That is all.
This happens when you follow Carlos Cheatom.
Hey DL!!! Neither I nor 2.0 were logged in when we got to HABOTN and saw a new thread. Her login in is shorter than mine :-(
Jetstein's Theory of Relativity ...
UAT's a bunch of Cousin Humpers.
2004 is a good selection for DVD watching.
Football in the rain... nothing better!
I certainly hope the players are cherishing those vids and paying close attention to them.
I want to see speed, speed and more speed on KOreturns... so put Adams, and McCalebb back there.
THT- excuses, excuses.
Great minds think alike....
Good night all
War Eagle.
That's a lot of highlights.
Watching 2004 was pure joy. I would love to experience that level of joy again.
D. We had speed back thare last year in PPL. He tore his knee up first play of he season.
From the previous thread as I was expounding on hopes as a new thread was being built.
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.
Don't remember Miss Luzanne. I did have stone cold fox for a 5th grade Teacher. She gave us about 10 mimeographed worksheets every day. Let's just say that particular smell had embarassing effects on me for several years afterwards.
so, when you get old and your performance drops off, you think you'll try mimeograph ink before you ask your doctor about cialis?
By the way - was there a consensus of opinion from the group about $aban's extensions? I always thought his hair was real
JZ. Was that Mrs. Ceebles. Don't know if the spelling is correct. A blond bombshell. I had her in the 5th grade too. The first teacher I fell in luv with....LOL
Just use Popsicles, PF...
j-z - I can imagine you often having to say, "no thanks, I'll take a zero" when a teacher asked you to work out a problem on the board.
Scottie..thanks for the gamenotes link. Noticed that the 2009 depth chart isn't posted yet.
Prattville Elementary teachers: Mrs. King(later principal). Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Parker.
Alright, how many of us regular folks here lived in P'ville at one time or another? By my count and in no particular order; NORM, j-z, sco-cho, IV, Hoopie, Sponge.
Sponge, this was in Tennessee. I didn't move to Prattville until 6th grade. My 7th grade English teacher was Mrs. Leatherwood. 'Nuff said.
Gaines too.
FOOTBALL
I lived in north fungumprey for a couple of years, recently... that almost counts as P'ville...
u guys are going to make me get out my old annuals. I can't really remember most of my teachers. just a few that made an impact. Mr. Register for math anyone?
I like the way you think, jhag.
That list is not a ringing endorsement for Prattville.
The pungent perfume of Union Camp/IP wafts over the HABOTN.
I had him for Geometry.
Dmiller, no, it doesn't.
Watch it Mon. Lest we bring Brewwwwton into the discussion. ;<)
lol@ Monica!
I am walking, breathing proof that Brewton is second only to the Garden of Eden.
snap
Norm, I had a summer job at the mill, digging ditches with the dregs of society. You know how hard it was to show up at 5:30 in the morning with a serious hangover, then have that smell hit you. Made you want to call Earls name real bad.
Provided your idea of paradise is marrying your 2nd cousin.
Sponge, when were you in Prattville?
Mon. Did you know that Iron Butterfly's song, "In a Gadda da vida" was originally "In the Garden of Eden", but they were so tore up when rehearsing that it came out wrong. Interesting tidbit.
An attempt at an insult from a prattville boy who gets turned on by mimeograph ink, protests the wearing of pants and is addicted to nyquil doesn't quite land.
JZ. Moved there in 2nd grade. Graduated in 79
Mon - while I don't agree with you on this, I will compliment you on your nice recall on things j-z.
That is interesting, indeed, Mr. Worthy.
Anyone feelin a chatroll anyone? Im not peer pressuring im just curious
I've never been to Prattville. Is that good? Or bad?
I did drive by on I-65 in 1978 when headed from Auburn to Nashville for the Vandy game (49-7 AU win).
Also spent 4 weeks at Maxwell AFB in the BUH-LAZING hot summer of 1980. That's about as close to Prattville as I've been.
Prattville? Is that where people say they are from if they don't won't to admit to the gump?
LOL Digger
I'd rather say I'm from Mitylene. Of course, I know nothing about Mitylene. I just like saying the name.
Thank you, Norm.
Well I've never been to spain...But I kinda like the music. Say the ladies are insane there. but they sure know how to use it. don't abuse it, never gonna lose it......
That was really written about Prattville.... :)
Hotties, its game week no more doing it for practice. We get it on this Saturday, time to get your Chizik Face on! Time for the "Chizik Effect" to take shape.
Can't wait to hear Rod Bramlett say "War Eagle everyone welcome the the Gene Chizik era"...
i can't wait to hear:
"Official Jordan-Hare Stadium time is 5:00. We are now one hour away from kick-off."
I got my first speeding ticket in Prattville, but I never lived there. I was late for a tennis tournament.
How many hotties are going to the game. I'll be there, ready to rock.
ESPNU? I don't think I get that on my Comcast package. I may have to call them up and threaten them with a stink bomb.
i'll be in section 12, row 11,seat 1.
MrsTHT and I will be there. THTjr may be there or not, depending on babysitting arrangements for Molly dog.
digger, Comcast in knoxville has ESPNU but it's like channel 500 or 700. very odd. it's between the porn and the music channels. dunno why they put it there. try that.
I shall be there.
I'll be in my usual seat on the 23 yard line.
you sure you can find the campfire this time, jhag?
digger - you might be surprised to find that you do have it. It's a VERY recent addition to the lineup (at least for me it is) in both standard and high-def.
Will do scottie Thanks
he just has to flash his membership card and he'll be in like Flynn, whatever that means
Norm you may be right I will have to go searching later tonight.
I spent the afternoon today in Prattville, breaking down a store.
I'd like to avoid any trips to the "Perforated Community" for the time being.
D. Don't make that boy whip out his RoF card on you again!
THT - c'mon, a history buff such as yourself, you've heard the story behind that. Right? I mean, I don't recall the specifics, but I have the general idea.
Im reaching for it..
Will be at the game ... either in my Section 56 seats or in the Club Level as the guest of a friend.
'Scuze me while I whip this out!
Isn't someone going to help that man?
in like flint, not flynn
lol @ Hag
I will help him out
Which door did he come through?
In Like Flint is the name of a horrible James Coburn movie. In like Flynn refers to Errol Flynn's predilection for young girls.
I guess everyone went to the talkie thingie.
Catch you later

Not everyone can be helped.

Whatcha have?
BEASLEY!!!
Say thanks for the setup, THT!
Thanks for the setup, sir.
Re: your post, THTjr and I were just watching the youtube video of the 1971 AU @ UT game. Schamlz was a real hero in that one.
my keyboard is dyslexic
I didn't know there were two. flint and flynn. I only knew of flint.
The BBQ shrimp. Wrapped in bacon....hmmmm.
Garrett Anderson, your fired
BACON!
I'm so looking forward to Wanda Sykes HBO special in October - "I'MA Be Me"
Monica, were you watching True Blood? I just saw the commercial for that. Was that a bleep?
HBO doesn't bleep people! WTF
LOL I love her.
yes, I was watching True Blood
Now, I'm watching HUNG
William Hung, no doubt
I love the bit she does about turning 40 and getting the I don't give a F, disease.
Ray Hung....Coach Ray Hung...
Monica do you watch Entourage?
I'm watching Ed "Look at my biceps, so you won't notice how I screwed the Chargers last year" Hoculi officiate the Bears-Broncos game.
so our spread is 13, Im hearin, I thought it would be less to be honest
Yep, Hag. I secretly desire Arie.
Kristina-for someone that is not find of Montogmery, you sure are here a lot.
I wil be a the game in my usual spot. I would tell you where it is, but look for the calves and lats and you will find me.
'not fond of Montgomery"
Is anyone really fond of the gump?
crickets
Why do you think I live in Prattville, Dusty?
My 21 yr old self and 3 under-agers were forced pour out every beer in our cooler in the Prattville McDonald's parking lot. No charges were pressed due to the presence of numerous Auburn car decorations and a cop with good taste in schools.
There aren't many parking lots in town that I wasn't forced to pour beer out in. The lot behind Steve's disco is probably still drunk.
My parents live there, well Pike Road, technically so I am there more than I would care to be.
THT ... sorry just got back in.
The Hay Fields are across from Ham Wilson arena ... corner of Lem Morrison and Donahue ... straight shot down Donahue to the stadium.

This is pretty hillarious, SEC fans talking about Wade Christopher like he is Chuck Norris
Ich bin ein Gumpian!
Thanks, AUFan365.
No worry, I was out for a while, too. Listening to/watching Les Miserables youtube videos, original London cast version.
Chuck Norris wears Wade Christopher PJs.
Colm Wilkinson....
Bob Saget = greasy, creepy guy
Glad to see Chizik is sassified. And I always know when he's sassified, cause he starts callin my name. Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter...
Good night to you all. Keep hate strong.
& Frances Ruffelle
Nice THT.
Gary Cole is definitely playing Jay G in the habotn movie...well HABOTN: The Later Years anyway.
AUFan - that's just about the exact spot where I "caught" a luna moth for my bug collection sr year
g'night all. I've got to get to bed early cause I suspect Molly dog will be waking me up a few times in the middle of the night. I think she's trying to find her mommy.
HABOTNless Prison for me tomorrow, so to be on the safe side...
HAPPY LEWIS COLBERT DAY!!!
T-minus 5 days til kickoff!!!
Lewis Colbert - Phenix City, AL; P 1982-85; 1st Team ALL-SEC and ALL-AMERICAN in 1985; led Auburn in punting all four years he was at Auburn, including a booming 45.8 yd avg in 1985. He has the 2nd longest punt in Auburn history, a 77 yarder vs SW Louisiana in 1985 (yes, he actually had to punt in that game!).
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Karsten Bailey - Newnan, GA; WR 1995-98; 2nd all-time in career receptions with 150, trailing Courtney Taylor by 3; 3rd all-time in receiving yardage (trails Beasley & Goodson); 3rd all-time in TD receptions (Beasley & Obomanu).
Travaris Robinson - Miami, FL; DB 1999-2002; ALL-SEC in 2002 when he tied Carlos Rogers for team lead with 4 INTs
Joe Sullivan - Birmingham, AL; QB 1980-81; Pat's brother, Joe led Auburn in passing in '80 and '81 with a 2 year total of 1142 passing yards and 9 TD tosses. (pre)MrsTHT and I witnessed his first game as an AU quarterback. He led the Tigers to a 10-7 win over the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth, TX on Saturday night, Sept 13, 1980.
Joe Frazier - Montgomery, AL; TB 1991-94; led Auburn in rushing as a freshman in 1991.
WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!
GO TIGERS!!!
Happy T-Rob day!!
I am not a Bengals fan, therefore we will never wear those stripped helmets. I can deal with a tweak in unies, but not those helmets not no way not no how. hmmmph
I will Boom It, Lewis! Boom It!
I will celebrate T-Rob Day!
I will recall Smokin' Joe, and Pat's Baby Brother.
I will not celebrate Karsten Bailey, except to know that "NO DROPS!" was meant for him.
SO PPL is wearing #6
2nd all-time in career receptions ought to stand for something, no?
Totally agree, EZ
Bob Saget = Joe Buck
I will email my reasons to you, THT.
Let's just say I have strong feelings. No reflection on your hard work and outstanding achievements in the countdown.
Sweet dreams full of AU Love and UA-T hate
WARRRRR EAGLE!!! See y'all tomorrow night sometime.
Bob Saget = Joe Buck = oleagenous = unguent.
Video nearing completion.
ETA: 10:37 p.m.
Nice JGT!
Speaking of the Bungles, Andre Smith is officially overweight and overpaid..
