Jet said...: Welcome my brethren!; 3:34 PM
Jet said...: Infidel!; 3:34 PM
digger4au said...: I could have been first but I watched the video. LOL
Good expanation of what pratices was all about.; 3:36 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'll take "good explanation" as a compliment. I didn't have much to work with today ...; 3:38 PM
digger4au said...: It was meant to be I thought they explained it very well; 3:38 PM
cincytiger said...: My post earlier was two mutually exclusive statements. Bruno's was the name of the grocery Aero was trying to think of that closed. And, Publix is coming into Auburn. Apparently the Bruno's store was too small for Publix to move into, that is the rumor anyway.; 3:39 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Publix is awesome.; 3:44 PM
digger4au said...: I thought Bruno's got bought out; 3:44 PM
j-z said...: Is it just me, or does Gus look a little like Chevy Chase/Clark Griswold? Something about his eyes and facial mannerisms.; 3:45 PM
Aeronaut said...: I did some googling.

Brunos went bankrupt; 3:47 PM
Anonymous said...: I love Publix....and I even worked in a Kroger Deli during college.

I love southern women dressing up to go grocery shopping.; 3:48 PM
digger4au said...: ENJOYED ! ! gottta go for a while.; 3:54 PM
Monica said...: It is just you. He does not look like Chevy Chase.

The guy with the gold looking recorder was a little close wasn't he? I kept waiting for Roof to turn his head and bite at it.; 3:55 PM
Aeronaut said...: We are what we eat. I'm cheap, fast, and easy.; 3:55 PM
michael said...: Jay G, I saw on the last thread you said some were giving you heat for your reporting of the "dust up". If they are giving you any trouble, just send them to me. I will take them to Eurasia, where I can pretty much invent crimes and appropriate punishments to suit my fancy. They won't give you heat anymore.; 4:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 4:01 PM
Miller said...: In honor of THT, I think I may eat me some ice cream....; 4:03 PM
Anonymous said...: Nap Time.; 4:05 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Awesome idea, D.Miller!!! I emptied a carton last night. Hopefully the freezer will be restocked when I get home in the wee hours. It's amazing how ice cream magically appears in our freezer. ALmost as amazing as the speed at which it disappears.; 4:06 PM
cincytiger said...: Well, we are off to a party where they will probably have only beer to drink :-( I think I will take a couple of diet cokes with lime. See y'all later.; 4:11 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: our neigbhors always have a few DC just for me at neighborhood parties. My neighbors are awesome, even if they are mostly yanks.; 4:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: practiced situations.. hmmm

Did they practice the fair catch/free kick play?; 4:18 PM
j-z said...: Nope...just watched it again. He has Clark Griswold mannerisms. I know whose house I'm driving by this holiday season.; 4:27 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: Ciao Tutti,

At Monica's behest in a previous thread today, I've finally broken my HABOTN silence.

I have nothing substantive to say other than to inform my father that I am presently holding two cartons of ice cream hostage at flame-point. They will be released, in their original state, in exchange for a sizable deposit.

Ho finito.; 4:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: She's got her mother's smarts!!!; 4:35 PM
j-z said...: Ok... I have to admit that I needed to google "ho finito."

This was the first image that popped into my head, and I was concerned.

Ho finito repository; 4:38 PM
Jet said...: Monica fomenting discontent and division wheree'er she goes.; 4:39 PM
j-z said...: I will admit that I'm intrigued by the prospect of learning conversational Italian from HABOTN.; 4:42 PM
j-z said...: How would one say "New Thread" in Italian?; 4:43 PM
Miller said...: I am intrigued that it lists a max occupancy of 2...; 4:44 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: how about nuova conversazione?

Ok, I'll leave the Italian class to 2.0

I've got to get back to work. Seizure.; 4:47 PM
Jet said...: It disheartens me when families are in turmoil.

Young lady, I pray you reconcile with your father and release his ice cream.

I implore you to focus anger where it belongs -- on UAT.; 4:53 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: J-z, if you ever attend the Umbria Jazz festival you'll find this phrase very helpful:

"due pagliacci hanno rubato le mie calzini e mi hanno dato un pesce."; 4:57 PM
j-z said...: Michael is the sock guy not me, but I'll keep this in my back pocket in case of emergencies.; 5:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Don't worry Brother Jet - 2.0 loves Molly dog too much to torch the ice cream. At least that's what I'm trying to convince myself.

2.0 - I don't even wanna know how that could be helpful.; 5:03 PM
Monica said...: Welcome, 2.0!!!

We need someone like you to to raise the IQ of this joint!

If you've read much of the HABOTN at all you know that substance is NOT a prerequisite.; 5:03 PM
Anonymous said...: THT 2.0....welcome to the HABOTN. Something tells me that you've got your dad wrapped around your finger.

Of course holding 2 ice cream cartons hostage is good insurance.

If in the off-chance that he plays hard-ball with you..give in rather than let the ice cream melt......Oh the humanity!; 5:03 PM
Miller said...: She sounds awfully serious... I'd heed her threats THT. I'm sure an online transfer would suffice. You will have to be careful though... If she decides that your deposit doesn't match her idea of 'sizeable', she may sacrifice a carton to get her point across.; 5:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i'm having chest pains; 5:06 PM
Monica said...: I CANNOT believe I'm watching TRM football online! fuh-reak-eee.; 5:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: link-eee?; 5:08 PM
Miller said...: What's the link, Mon... I am football starved to the point that I am watching the computer play against itself on playstation...

Auburn is :15 seconds away from winning the opener 42-10.; 5:08 PM
Monica said...: TRM vs Leeds; 5:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: thank-eee

just what I need to keep me from getting my work done here ;-); 5:12 PM
Storm said...: Ok its a slow night.... What do you think the score will be for game one; 5:12 PM
Miller said...: I predict 42-10.; 5:12 PM
Miller said...: The red team has a lot of guys named T.R. Miller... I didn't realize it was such a common name...; 5:13 PM
Storm said...: no score in the last 15 sec?; 5:13 PM
Monica said...: This is a better picture than most of the college games I've watched online.; 5:13 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: Monica, it's for good reason substance is not a prerequisite.... I thought it was universal knowledge that substance is mutually exclusive of the y-chromosome.; 5:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: yes, picture is superb. Except all the fans seem to blur into one shiny blob of aluminum.; 5:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: where's that banhammer?; 5:19 PM
Miller said...: That is some substantial fiction...; 5:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i'll pick it up in the 2nd half after I get caught up here in the office. Assuming I get caught up. I love watching football.; 5:22 PM
Miller said...: It'll be there on Monday, THT...; 5:23 PM
Monica said...: OUCH! 2.0 bringing the man bashing smack on her first day!

whew

Y'all may end up appreciaiting me afterall...

LOLOLOLOL; 5:23 PM
Monica said...: I would so love to see TRM beat Leeds for so, so many reasons.

I also hope we get to see the halftime show. If so look for my Goddaughter. I know you all know what she looks like!; 5:25 PM
Unknown said...: Jay, with regard to the humorous little tale of hacks A, B, and C; I don't get why the short story bothered them. I have always believed if you are doing something you wouldn't want someone to know about, you shouldn't be doing it. Buy them each as passifier and ask them to get over it.

And what is even funnier is that Craig Stevens tweeted about it and how he was going to LMAO at the reporters. That is a college kid folks. Beat hacks need to lighten up.

And I am not done yet. There is something truly ironic about a "reporter" getting mad at a "reporter" for "reporting" something that he saw. These guys probably get pissed at fish for drinking water. Geeze!!!; 5:28 PM
coosa said...: I agree Steve; how can reporters get mad about another reporter reporting?; 5:31 PM
Miller said...: A brief reminder for the Hotties out there...

Miller said...: TRM putting the smack on Leeds early...; 5:33 PM
Dear Leader said...: JGT... from the last thread (catching up).. some of your peers looked down on you posting the dustup...

did they also look down on two grown men acting like such children.. that the auburn student laughed at them and left.. I still find it funny that grown men would act that way in front of a kid?; 5:33 PM
Unknown said...: You want to keep a secret? Well, just tell it to a reporter. That should do it.; 5:33 PM
Monica said...: woot woot!!

Who normally plays at Cramton Bowl in da Gump?; 5:34 PM
Unknown said...: By the way, tonight is the night that Spike airs some UFC fights. The main event is a couple of women beating the crap out of each other. It should be well worth watching.; 5:39 PM
Aeronaut said...: And I am not surprised.; 5:41 PM
Aubie said...: Monnie,
GOOB?!?!; 5:45 PM
Monica said...: LOL; 5:47 PM
Monica said...: GO TIGERS!!! 21-0
woop woop

Wasn't Leeds the state champion last year?; 5:54 PM
Unknown said...: Omnica, do you have a link to the game?; 5:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 5:10 post has link; 5:57 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks THT.; 5:59 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: THT, I just fed the dog beef tenderloin, scallops, an jumbo shrimp. The ransom is now doubled.; 6:09 PM
Unknown said...: Ouch, I have my puppy on a diet. When I got him he was 81#. About 5 months later he is 103# of love, but he makes people nervous. He also brings them closer to God. Every time we go for a walk someone says, Jesus, that's a big dog.; 6:12 PM
Miller said...: "Brewton is one of those great cities with a lot of history and a lot of culture."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Yep, that is Brewton alright! lol; 6:12 PM
Miller said...: I have never been jealous of a dog's dinner until now... sheesh! If you fed that to your dog, what did you feed yourself?; 6:15 PM
Monica said...: I LOVE Coach Jamie Riggs voice and accent! Makes me miss Brewton.; 6:16 PM
Monica said...: You're from "the gump" right, Miller?; 6:17 PM
Aubie said...: It makes you Miss Brewton? I thought you were married... should be Mrs Brewton.; 6:18 PM
Monica said...: ^^^more supporting evidence for Goob designation^^^; 6:18 PM
Miller said...: No Ma'am... The Gump was temporary residence.

I am from Arab.; 6:19 PM
Monica said...: oh yeah, A-RAYUB

snort; 6:19 PM
Jet said...: Monica ...

To answer your query ... the four public HS that play football (or at least attempt to) in the Gump -- Sidney Lanier, Carver, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis -- share the Bowl. Alabama State plays its home games there, as does Faulkner.

Thankfully, the City put down Field Turf several years ago as the grass was usually torn to shreds by October.; 6:21 PM
Jet said...: Monica ...

Is Coach Riggs sportin' his shirt and tie for the game?; 6:21 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: D.Miller, i had Succatach with crab cakes and a drizzle of chipotle-lime aioli, carmel cheesecake, and half a pitcher of mimosa... leftovers from a luncheon.

right now i'm thinking i should have kept it to just two glasses.; 6:22 PM
Unknown said...: I always get a chuckle out of the pronunciation of Arab in Alabama. It is one of the things I love about Alabama.; 6:22 PM
Unknown said...: THT 2.0, you really should have brought enough for everyone. Now I'm hungry.; 6:23 PM
Monica said...: Thanks for the info, Jet.

Yep, Coach Riggs had on his tie. LOL; 6:24 PM
Miller said...: That sounds much better than my dinner of twizzlers and doritos...; 6:25 PM
Unknown said...: I really miss going to high school games. Football is great. Girls softball is pretty awesome too. My daughter played on a traveling team, which got me hooked. It is much better than baseball.; 6:26 PM
Jet said...: I had a twizzler earlier ... we shoulda fed 'em to the terrorists at Gitmo ... worse than waterboarding.; 6:26 PM
Unknown said...: Brother Jet, while you are counseling Eric Smith, would you mind stopping by and seeing Eltoro Freeman. If you could do some laying on of hands and a miracle healing, it would be much appreciated.; 6:27 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: don't worry, DMIller, the dog doesn't always eat that well, but only because we don't eat that well. Molly dog gets whatever we get and today was a big wedding shower lunch thingie at our house. It was mere coincidence, yet my good fortune, that I had to work all day/evening, thus avoiding the estrogen convention. Unfortunately, it means I also missed out on all that yummy food.; 6:28 PM
Unknown said...: I actually keep much more puppy food/treats in the house than I do people food, which explains his weight gain. I took him for a little 3 mile walk around a lake today. Hopefully it helped.; 6:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm having fudge sticks and nabs for dinner.; 6:29 PM
Miller said...: It seems to me, THT, that a good daughter would have made her poor father a plate and brought it to him at work.; 6:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, yeah, it seems.

Mon- who am I looking for there?; 6:31 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: D.Miller, it is the daughter who is poor, not the father.; 6:31 PM
Unknown said...: Fudge sticks!!! You people are driving me nuts. I am going to have to go get some of my quality food, nukkem burritos.; 6:31 PM
Jet said...: Steve ...

A wonderful idea.; 6:32 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: actually, I'm pretty stuffed. I didn't get lunch until 3:30 and it was a DEElicious Rudino's Club Grinder. Plus fries.; 6:35 PM
Monica said...: Sorry THT just now seeing your post. She was one of the majorettes.; 6:37 PM
Jet said...: Do you know who I am?

I'm gonna make a ruling right now, and I'm the kinda guy who can make a ruling, and I say you can make it to "Notable Newcomers" in 27 minutes.; 6:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I didn't get back to the game til near the end of the half-time show. Missed the majorettes.

Now y'all've got me trying to remember which fraternity brother was from A -Rayab.; 6:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: onside kick?; 6:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: there were no TRM players anywhere near the 50 on the near side of the field.; 6:42 PM
Monica said...: One of my suite mates @ Auburn was from A-RAYUB. She was a hoot!; 6:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wow, that's strong arm; 6:44 PM
Monica said...: THT can you hear the game or just see it?; 6:45 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: hearing it all, seeing everything but the instant replays ;-); 6:47 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: you should be working; you obviously lack your wife's work ethic; 6:48 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: my work ethic is so strong I'm completely caught up!; 6:50 PM
Unknown said...: I've driven through Arab quite a bit, but never really got a chance to stop and take in the atmosphere. Wasn't Henry Choe or his wife from there?; 6:51 PM
Aeronaut said...: I met a lot of Arabs during my last tour of liaison work.

Yes I am going to take a nap now.; 6:58 PM
Unknown said...: By the way, in case anyone missed it, Bear Grylls actually survived a week in the backwoods of Alabama on a recent episode. Now, that is must see TV.; 6:59 PM
Miller said...: Steve, Henry's wife is from Arab.

So, THT and Mon both know someone from Arab other than yours truly? Impressive. Who are they?; 7:00 PM
IV said...: Mr. Jet,
I like your rule,
I will gladly vacate my undeserved seat as a n.n to 2.0. She is a winner and I am enjoying her posts so much. Keep it up young lady. Now back to a rousing night here at the home of looking at old National Geographics.; 7:00 PM
Miller said...: I think it is hilarious that he had to "survive" in woods that I used to play in when I was little...; 7:01 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks for all that you do Aeronaut. I know that a lot of troops have been over there for a long time. It doesn't make the headlines as much these days, but we are still thinking of you.; 7:01 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, watch the episode, D. Miller. They refer to it as one of his toughest challenges. I had expected a deliverance moment where he got some Ned Beatty type lovin, but it never happened. He did kill a pig, which I wish they didn't show on TV, but I figured it would have been the signal for the good ole boys to show up.; 7:03 PM
Miller said...: well said, steve... and seconded...; 7:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: yes, we're hearing you, sideline reporter; 7:07 PM
Miller said...: That only happens in N. GA and Tuscaloosa...; 7:07 PM
Miller said...: She is kinda cute...; 7:07 PM
Unknown said...: You got to wonder why they chose Alabama. Yes, there are some small mountains and plenty of trees, but you aren't going to freeze to death and if you can't find water, you probably shouldn't be left alone anywhere.; 7:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "if you can't find water [in AL], you probably shouldn't be left alone anywhere."

That's funny!!!; 7:10 PM
Jet said...: IV ... you ain't goin' anywhere.; 7:12 PM
Unknown said...: I just never pictured Alabama as a survival place, although there might be some places like that. One of the shows was in the Georgia swamps. That I can see. In Bama, if you are stuck in the woods, the biggest danger is probably from getting shot by a good ole boy.; 7:13 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: IV: National Geographic is some exciting stuff, be careful. Nothing stops a heart like a picture of a 102.23 carat flawless diamond.; 7:13 PM
Monica said...: Jet why are you trying to replace IV? Don't hate on the new guy. Sheesh.; 7:13 PM
Miller said...: Alabama is, afterall, the river state...; 7:13 PM
Unknown said...: It is wonderful to see the HABOTN growing. IV was a wonderful addition. I have been wondering what will happen when the season starts. If the HABOTN burns like this trough the summer, it could really sizzle in the fall.; 7:14 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: oops, forgot to site my source, please don't send me to honor council!

it was in the March 2002 NG.; 7:14 PM
Miller said...: If it speeds up much this fall, I won't be able to keep up...; 7:16 PM
FSJ said...: Whew....I ate too much tonight..; 7:17 PM
Unknown said...: I love watching MMA. I do get a kick out of the nicknames. Chris "the crippler" Leban and Michael "the count" Bisping are about to fight. I wonder why they choose those nicknames. I suppose I would be "the computer geek", which is why I am not in MMA.; 7:17 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I was about to say, "Huh?"

we haven't subscribed to NG in several years; 7:17 PM
Jet said...: I'm not hatin' on IV ... he's one of my heroes, despite his ties to J-Z.

I'm just salutin' THT2.0; 7:17 PM
IV said...: 2.0...... or the sight of some barely clothed native girls. Oh, that is why I like Nat. Geo. so much, back in the day that is where I learned a little about girl anatomy. I am just reliving my childhood. And speaking of childhood, some of the residents here are so childish. They won't eat their oatmeal without cinnamon.; 7:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: oatmeal? Yummy. I'll come eat their cinnamonless oatmeal.; 7:20 PM
FSJ said...: Oatmeal should eaten with butter, brown sugar, and a bunch of other stuff that is bad for you.; 7:20 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: IV: i bet even now you keep a copy of the Feb '86 issue under your pillow; 7:20 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: oatmeal is a yankee creation. none for me, thanks.; 7:21 PM
Unknown said...: By the way folks, I think Eddie gave us wise advice the other day. Don't get too optimistic about this season. From the comments Chizik is making, I get the impression he is concerned.

Also, keep in mind that last season we could have easily been 3-9 or 9-3 for that matter. A lot depends upon luck with injuries.; 7:22 PM
Miller said...: I only eat oatmeal if I have honey to put in it....; 7:24 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 2.0 - oatmeal is Scottish, as are you, well, at least the Robertson and MacLean part of you

at least Wikipedia says it's Scottish. You scared me. I don't do yankee food except for pure maple syrup.; 7:24 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: nice catch!; 7:25 PM
Monica said...: Maybe we should be recruiting Terez Lane.; 7:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: he needs to learn how to block.; 7:26 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: fine. oatmeal may not be a yankee creation, but it is most certainly a yankee THANG...i'll have a bowl of grits, please.; 7:28 PM
Miller said...: I'm getting a kick out of Cooper dog trying to share his toys with fat cat... and she (fat cat) wants nothing to do with him.; 7:29 PM
Miller said...: mmm... grits... with butter and sugar, and honey; 7:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "it would probably work to their advantage not to score"

If that isn't a bad strategy, I don't know what is.; 7:29 PM
Unknown said...: Cook: Haven't you heard of grits?
Vinny: Yea, sure I have heard of grits. I just never seen a grit before.; 7:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 2.0's cheese grits are indeed a culinary delight. I'll take grits every day over oatmeal.; 7:31 PM
Monica said...: sugar in grits = southern gentleman card revoked; 7:31 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Touchdown TRM!!

That's bad, bad strategy on their part ;-); 7:32 PM
Unknown said...: Instant grits? No self respecting southerner uses instant grits:); 7:32 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: more power to Monica!; 7:32 PM
Monica said...: That announcer guy is not the brightest and seems to be very eager to have Leeds win. Oh well.; 7:33 PM
Monica said...: mmmm I loooove me some cheese grits!!!; 7:33 PM
Unknown said...: On another blog I read an interesting question. Do Auburn players have a curfew this time of year?; 7:34 PM
Jet said...: Stone Ground Grits from Oakview Farms in Wetumpka, Alabama.

Cook sloowwwwly over low, low heat for 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper, a nice helping of real butter, and a handful of shredded cheddar.; 7:34 PM
Miller said...: You go ahead and think that, mon...; 7:35 PM
Monica said...: I heard they have an 11:00 curfew since Mr. Smith had his altercation and subsequent arrest.; 7:36 PM
Jet said...: If you can't cook 'em, then go to Grand Hotel, Point Clear, get a crabmeat omelet and cheese grits.; 7:36 PM
Miller said...: jet, you're making me hungry...; 7:36 PM
Miller said...: ok....we need a subject change... you people are making me hungry...; 7:37 PM
Monica said...: Miller = sugar-in-his-grits-eatin'-yankee-boy; 7:37 PM
Jet said...: In fact, let's go to the Grand.

Dinner in the Grand Dining Room ...

Gumbo or sauteed crab claws for appetizer. I do love gumbo.

A wedge or a Caesar for the salad.

I'm sure I'll choose the grilled grouper with crabmeat and buerre blanc sauce for the entree.

Did someone say bread pudding?; 7:38 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks Omnica. I had assumed that this time of year a curfew wouldn't be necessary. Between school and practice I would think staying up late would be the last idea in their heads.; 7:39 PM
michael said...: Hottest Grits Blog On The Net; 7:40 PM
Quitstina said...: So let me see if I am all caught up...

I can't wait for the Auburn Publix.
My hubby has family in Arab.
I am not a true southerner (which I'm not) cause I don't like grits.; 7:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: yummy!!! that even sounds better than fudge sticks and nabs.; 7:40 PM
Monica said...: mmmm Jet that sounds YUMMY!

I love cheese grits with seafood.; 7:41 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Kristina and Michael show up together...again!; 7:42 PM
Quitstina said...: I do like shrimp and grits though. Does that count?; 7:42 PM
Quitstina said...: I thought that was faker that was supposed to show up? Would you guys get your stories straight...sheesh.; 7:43 PM
Miller said...: wow... all these folks know paypul in arab.... I'm shocked; 7:43 PM
Miller said...: cheese grits go with anything... but, expecially seafood!; 7:44 PM
IV said...: Time for some reminiscing. The most fun I ever had going to a road Auburn game was circa 1963. I am sure some of you more senior A. U. fans may remember the "War Eagle Special". This was a special train that left Montgomery early on Saturday morning to go to the Auburn - Ga. Tech game, stopping in Auburn en route to pick up additional passengers including a lot of students. Having been long gone from Auburn and freshly established in the Gump, I, along with some new found Auburn buddies boarded said train in 'gomery and off we go to Hotlanta and what is now Booby Dodd Stadium. Quite a few fans boarded at outset but the fun really started when we stopped in Auburn. My friends, you think you can have fun traveling with some buddies to a game say in an R. V., you aint lived until you go to a game with a train load of Auburn buddies, old and newly found. Once in Atlanta, the R. R. had special busses to take us to the game. We got there in time to walk over to the Varsity for a few dogs, the only good thing in the vicinity of G. T. campus except for my younger son now living nearby on Peachtree Street. We beat the insects that day as I recall 29 to 21 which in them days was not easy to do in Atlanta. You were automatically 14 points down when you set foot in the stadium. The train ride back where it really got to be fun. Mucho adult drinks and partying for those that cared to participate and there no near me that didn't. This also brings back memories of the wreck Tech pajama parades on campus on Friday before the Tech game, but that is another story for another time.; 7:46 PM
Jet said...: Zookeeper ... Shrimp and grits are tasty. It passes the test.

Fried catfish and cheese grits are tasty, too.; 7:47 PM
Unknown said...: Shrimp and grits is awesome. My wife turned me onto that and she is from Brooklyn:); 7:48 PM
FSJ said...: Which goofball gave my daughter candy corn?

She will be up all night.; 7:49 PM
Miller said...: but, candy corn doesn't have sugar in it.... it is made of corn; 7:51 PM
FSJ said...: So it is a vegetable?

Whew!!!; 7:53 PM
Monica said...: IV - I LOVE your stories!! I want to see some of the pictures that go along with these stories. I just know they exist.

I would SO love to travel to a game on a train.; 7:55 PM
Aubie said...: Saw Lloyd Nix at dinner tonight. What a class act and gentleman!; 7:56 PM
IV said...: Jay,
I got notice today that the Advertiser is about to make a subscription rate increase. I truly hope that you get a part of that as you have earned it with your outstanding coverage. We appreciate all that you do for us.; 7:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: you may have to go to Europe, Mon. Only problem, it would be to see futbol.; 7:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'll catch up on the next page. must get back to work for a bit.

WAR EAGLE!!!; 8:00 PM
