Awesome JGT videos.
They are delectable.
TRES
One with substance
Aw crap, so close...
Nice JG!!
Tate does look leaner!
Ziemba is da man
WWOOHHOO Video from the master!
That intro is pretty sharp.
Are we going to need the ALINE for gas relief when we watch the game or Duracell batteries in case our radio goes dead???? What's up with that?
These videos need to work on the iPhone. I'll check it out tomorrow on my laptop.
Gotta pay the bills with an ad here and there!
We like Flash videos here at the Advertiser.
Flash no likey iPhone.
NIce intro...Made me laugh. NO FISHING?!?!?!?!
Tate does not look like a kid anymore. I always thought he looked like a little boy for a long time.
Hey War Eagle Girl! Glad you were paying attention!!! I agree with you completely about being cautious. That's why HABOTN is so bad for me. It makes me throw caution to the wind. SECCG here we come!!! WAR EAGLE!!!
Hey Jay,
Just bought a 4 pack of Duracells tonight. Tell that to the ad rep!
Sounds like the Advertiser is trying to take control of OUR Habotn! Yea, I figured but mine was the gas one the first time and I thought it was apropos!!
Im so pumped that i am looking at game shirts...I think im going with ol school navy this year.
AC gave a shout out to one of my favorite newcomers! WAR EGUAE!!!
Need to head off to the treadmill so I can walk the LONG flight of stairs at the stadium on Sept. 5! War Eagle and Good Night!
Great video JG.
I've got a choice of watching the La Tech game live or going diving. Oh well, that's what DVRs are for. Now if I can just keep from hearing the score for 2 days...
Great video Jay! I'm with you WEG. Off to the gym to get prepared for the season.
Love the road warrior opening.
Nice.
Ehyou ... good to see you back in the hood.
Jhag ... go to Ole Miss, and I'll arrange for you a tailgate spot in the Grove.
Jay G ... nice work ... tell The Head Coach to look at all the cameras when he's talking.
Whose house is Z sitting, and where is it?
It's in Beauregard.
I didn't get a name or social security number.
Yet you call yourself a reporter?
"OT Lee Ziemba said he feels better than ever right now."-How about paying attention to the snap count???
To truly get in the mood for football season...I've been listening to SEC fight songs as performed by the amazing Shirley Q. Liquor....
John Prine wrote a fine song titled Come Back to us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard. Aubie would appreciate it.
did anyone hear the S.O.S. on Finebaum? how funny is it that a DJ at a strip club is considered a mouth-piece for Bama to those goons.
You're gonna look pretty funny tryin' to eat corn on the cob with no friggin' teeth!
Catalina...they are no more of a Bama mouthpiece than Charles from Reeltown, IMan, or that redneck woman are for Auburn.
Dear Faker,
We would appreciate being able to belittle the other school sans logical feedback.
Thanks.
I am the mouthpiece of Auburn. I am wearing a speedo right now and am about to pretend to be Michael Phelps in my kitchen sink.
That was fun. I really feel like I just won the gold!
Now, what official opinions do you guys want to know about Auburn football?
Queen Boxhead...
Let the record reflect that "Mouthpiece of Auburn" is added to your titles.
Redneck Drunk on Lawnmower
It's a nice house is all I'm sayin'. Next time they're out of town, I might be available.
Catalina Wine Mixer is a great name.
We were just watching Step Brothers this past weekend. What Will Ferrell does to those drums is just wrong.
jet...
Thanks bud. You crossed my mind as I was enjoying the fresh grilled mahi mahi @ Captain's Table last week. Even had a hostess give me a big War Eagle. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Micheal that was one of the funniest things I have ever read.
Awesome video.
"If I don't get my wife another beer she is goin' to stab me in the face!"
A perfectly legitimate reason to drive drunk on a lawnmower if ever there was one.
"My wife is gonna kick your a*s!"
His wife must be quite a lady.
I think you guys are being too hard on Ziemba on all those false starts.
Let's face it ... he knew we were going to lose 5 yards on every other play ... when he did it, it didn't cost us a down.
Ehyou, I depart for PCB tomorrow for a conference.
Capt. Table a distinct possibility for dinner tomorrow night.
Glad you enjoyed it, Big Bird.
:-)
gnight
NOVA, everything that is underwater will still be underwater after the AU/ LA TECH game. Watch the game.
Jet - that is the funniest logic I've ever heard..especially funny cause it makes sense!
NoVA - I agree with Will. But why just watch the game. Get down to Auburn!!!
Thanks, JGT!
Excellent info on the videos. I am trying so hard not to get too excited for the season. Who am I trying to kid? Come on football!
War Eagle and out.
Apparently this version of flash is not yet supported with a 64 bit linux plugin, so, unfortunately I can't check out the video. Thanks for all the hard work Jay. I know you are in for some long days this time of year.
Tucker McElroy, lead singer, driver of the Winnebago!
Jay- your hard work is much appreciated. I look forward to reading your take on things at AU.
When you were on the roundtable the other day, did i understand that you think AU goes 6-6 this year? I can't recall if that was the number but it sounds like what I heard.
Jet-you confuse me a lot of the time when go all music or movie on us.
6 close wins!
6 blowout wins!
OK, maybe not.
I'm sticking with 8-4 or 9-3.
We just need to take one game at a time. We don't need to look ahead to anyone. We need to simplify the offense. We need to play Auburn football. We need to play physical football. We need to avoid injuries.
This has been your coach speak comment of the day.
WTC... It's a part of my diabolical plan.
You forgot:
Our future is in front of us.
Football is 90% mental. The other half is physical.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
It is working. You have me mesmerized with your double speak. Almost coachesque.
Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but apparently our old Pal Lou feels that if we can beat UF, he really can be in the Senate.

I love me some Gordon Beckham...
Hey I can see Jay G on the Auburn Undercover video of Neil Caudle... Jay G you are the man!
YOYOYOYOOYO
Coach O!!!!!!
Rise and shine, Hotties!
when the tunes start with some Skynyrd (Am I Losing) followed by Boston (More Than a Feeling), you know it's going to be a pretty good day.
T-minus 31 days til kickoff
HAPPY FREDDIE SMITH DAY!!!
Wearing #31, "Fast Freddie" Smith was the greatest linebacker ever to suit up in an Auburn uniform. You disagree? I'm sorry, let me explain the rules for today: It ain't open for debate!
Freddie Smith was a high school All-American in Athens, AL, where he played RB and LB. On offense, he had nearly 5,000 yards rushing in his high school career, including over 2,150 as a senior when he led Athens to a state championship. He also had 385 tackles in his 3 year H.S. career. He chose Auburn over numerous other major college offers, including that other school, because Auburn was a friendly place and he felt at home there (don't we all!).
When he arrived in Auburn in the fall of 1976, Fast Freddie didn't care if he was on offense or defense (or both), he just wanted to be on the field helping Auburn win football games. The coaches decided he was needed more on defense, which was OK with Freddie. He decided it was better to give than receive. How quickly did Freddie Smith adjust to the college game? Well, they didn't call him Fast Freddie without reason.
In his 2nd game as a true freshman, Freddie Smith led Auburn's defense with TWENTY-TWO tackles in a 15-14 loss to the Baylor Bears. The following week, he decided he needed to step up his game for SEC play as he recorded TWENTY-FOUR tackles in Auburn's 38-28 bashing of the Vols. Fast Freddie finished his Auburn career with 528 tackles, averaging 13.2 tackles/game. No one else is even close.
After his stellar Auburn career, Mr. Smith played with the Vikings in the NFL and starred for the Winnipeg Bombers in the CFL. In 1983 he teamed up with several former Auburn players on the roster of the B'ham Stallions of the USFL. As of 2008, Mr. Smith had been employed by Brasfield & Gorrie in Birmingham for 20 years. He was also inducted into the Limestone County Hall of Fame last year.
We've got some other 31s we should honorably mention: I'll start with Antarrious Williams. Talk about a lunch pail guy that put in a full shift every day - dude could play. And 3 cheers to Rob Pate. The floor is now open for more 31 shout outs.
WARRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
GO TIGERS!!!

Unfortunately, I was unable to retain his professional writing form, hence the crude & elementary sentence structure to which I subjected you. USFL rosters found at OurSportsCentral.com.

Love me some Fast Freddie!!!
Will and THT, you obviously don't understand the need to get wet. Besides, I can get in a class over the 3 day weekend. After dive grill=tailgate.
Although this is the first game, remember it IS La Tech. The choice isn't go diving or go to the game, it's go diving or watch the game on TV. All I have to do is not check the internet and it will be like watching it live.
NoVA - I sink like a stone in water. I'll watch Lifetime before I "get wet."
Another great tune this morning! My Ride's Here by Warren Zevon. As soon as it started, it occurred to me that I referred to it as "The 3:10 to Yuma" the other day. I'm retarded.
I was staying at the Marriott
With Jesus and John Wayne
I was waiting for a chariot
They were waiting for a train
The sky was full of carrion
"I'll take the mazuma"
Said Jesus to Marion
"That's the 3:10 to Yuma
My ride's here..."
... and now we've got Sheryl Crow playing. We've had some Procul Harum, Newsboys, David Bowie, Toto, James Gang (x2), Bad Company, Gary Wright. Time to get a little breakfast and hit the road for the 75 mile commute. I'll catch up with you sleepy heads later. WAR EAGLE!!!
So Ziemba likes to fish but can't find a place huh? Some one needs to point him out to Lee County Lake (if they ain't drained it). I spent more time out there than in class in the spring. Were some monster Bass in there at one time.
Fast Freddie was The Man!! Saw him his frosh year. Didn't he tear up a knee while at AU which put a damper on a promising pro career?

Good morning, Hotties! Let's make it over the hump! WAR EAGLE!
Ahhhhhhhhh videos are back. Awesome job Mr JGT
Good morning all. Football practice starts today. Boy oh boy. The video was great. Finally got to see it this morning.
Jay G, like wtc, I look forward to your take on all things Auburn football this season. Keep up the excellent work! It's very much appreciated!
Good morning, Hotties! It's beach day and the beginning of Auburn football practice - does it get any better than this??!! Well, except for actual games. Loved the video, Jay. Thanks for the info you can give us.
Jay (or anyone else),
Has Aubrey Phillips enrolled at Auburn yet?
If someone's already posted these links, I apologize. If not, the last two articles from TWER are interesting.
The 1918 Auburn Tigers

We had some of the players move into the Village yesterday. Let me tell you, this place is nicer than 90% of all hotels I've ever stayed at. HABOTN Night at the Village... coming soon.
Started my day with a little AC/DC, Christina Aguilera and Luda. How's that for eclectic?
Great pick on Fast Freddie, THT.
War Damn Wednesday!
FAST FREDDIE DAY!
first day of practice. it's here....real, genuine, head-bashing, gasser-running, non-meerkat huddling, counter fake-reverse to Terrell Zachary football!!!!!!! woo-hoo!!!!
"non-meerkat huddling"
HAHAHAHAH
nice, Scottie
;)
so, has anyone passed by a creek on the side of the road this summer in auburn and seen a 320 lb offensive lineman fishing? freakin' hilarious. just picture that. ha.
love the intro JGT.
Freddie...Freddie...Freddie...Freddie..
That was easy to cheer...in between swigs of George Dickel...from the student section.

I love how everything Auburn is about Alabama for John Longshore.
if yall need more to read collegefootballnews.com has their SEC preview up today!
"SEC PREVIEW
nice. my link actually works.
Personally, I hope our line drops into a 3-point stance on the first play and starts growling like a bunch of PeeWee players ready to fire off on the snap.
Jet, is that a pic of you at a race or is that your Mike Berry replica t-shirt?
Hmmm, the video is working for me today. Pretty darn cool. I loved the trip to the football complex.
Eddie, they're reading your email on 740. which other Eddie is on the Tyrik Express?
What Bammer's lack in obnoxious, they make up for with delusion.
Alan, the co-host from the Breakdown, told me this week that Alabama's defense in 2009 would be the 2nd best in school history and that Trent Richardson was the next Jerome Bettis - based solely on his lift numbers.
Sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night is what I said in response.
Jerome Bettis? that's high praise for a guy who hasn't played a game yet. yup, delusions of grandeur.
Yeah Scottie, I heard. Longshore is a joke. He is not even rational in his thought process anymore.
not even sure why i am listening.
Scottie ...
The year after my father died, we made special T-shirts for the family football game. I wore 66 in high school, so that was my jersey in last Thanksgiving's game. It was my first appearance in the game in 10 years. I was filling in for my daughter who was on crutches.
that's pretty cool Brother.
Morning Hotties - how's tricks?
I got nuthin
Keep Hate Alive.
on the drive today I listened to almost 10 minutes of "Green Grass and High Tides". It gave me cause to ponder. I have concluded that there is nothing from Tampa that I like more than The Outlaws.
Mornin' peeps! It is August, I know that because of humidity, football starting and my daughter's varsity soccer tryouts next week.
Fall is right behind...OH AND I GOT ESPNU THIS WEEK! WOO HOO!
My boy Nick gettin' some love.
"They didn't sign me to sit on the bench." says Nick Fairley
The biggest difference I have noticed so far is Ben Tate and his comments. Last season he made some comments that made me wonder if he was basically a discontent. One of them was that he thought everyone knew who should be the QB. This year Tate seems to have a completely different attitude. I take that as a very positive sign.
What do I and Ben Tate have in common?
We are both from Maryland!
Having a coaching staff truly all on the same page I think is going to be one of the best things to happen to the team.
AU1- I'm also assuming you both went to Auburn?
I have disabled auto-play.
Sorry if that went on too long.
What will we do during pre game coach speak and we don't hear "Well, we've had our best week of practice all year this week, we're gonna go out there and get after em' and see what happens"
I did not go...wife went. Have been there plenty of times and former players who are friends.
OOoh, that we have had probably our best practice of the season always irritated me. It seems like that was usually an announcement that we were about to lay an egg.
yeha the more games i watch from last year the more defeated TT looked, but enough about him. I'm ready to see Mr tate carry the mail.
Google Tommy quotes and you find some fun ones.
The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.”
We're not going to start talking about anything but playing the next game. It's a good start. It's a good start.”
This guy on the gridiron breakdown is weird. The ACC is one of the best 3 football conferences? Sensi, you needed to hang up on that guy. Apparently he has radio fright.
As for the best conferences: SEC and the Big 12. The next two would be the PAC 10 and Big 10.
It's a shame that the walk-on's don't get to practice until classes start. I would love, love, love to see the carnage that El Toro inflicts upon a Scout team running back.
And of course the classic....
“I've got a subscription to Golf Digest. I may ask them to vote us No. 1, ... We're 13-0. We should be national champions. There's no doubt about it.”
"The Hay is in the Barn" ripped from another Auburn HC, but used plenty on Thursday night Tiger Talk's.
AU1- You can never go wrong with marrying and Auburn woman!
J-Z, i love the way you think. ha.
I hope are offence can have some susstained drives this year and leave our defence on the feild all game.
thats not leave
As always, great work Jay G!
don't worry, paulmain - believe me, no one notices your typos
NEW JGT VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH MORE THE COME!!!!! YES! YES! YES!
