All we have are the embers (Part II)

Thanks for doing your part in making our second Thursday Campfire a success.

We had a total of 257 participants, which up from the afternoon session.

We discussed AOL Chat Rooms circa 1998, LOLs, ROFLs, Kodi Burns, the Wildcat position, Lou Holtz, Troy's tank job, the hideous Oregon uniforms, Tommy Tuberville's post-Auburn attitude and, of course, Erin Andrews.

I'd say it was a hit.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: "Hatin' With Jay G" will resume tomorrow on Supersport 930 AM out of Jackson, Miss. I am supposed to hit the airwaves/internet at 9:30 in the a.m.

T-MINUS ONE DAY TIL KICKOFF!!!!

HAPPY PETRIE-CHIZIK DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. George Petrie started it all. The following information, with very minor modifications, is from Wapedia. The primary reference for the Wikipedia entry was Mike Jernigan's book, Auburn Man: The Life and Times of George Petrie.
George Petrie (1866-1947), born in Montgomery, was an American scholar and educator who played a crucial role in the development of Auburn University. From 1887 until his retirement in 1942, Petrie held various positions at Auburn, including professor of history and Latin, head of the History Department, and dean of the Graduate School. Petrie also organized and coached Auburn's first football team in 1892.

Petrie was the first Alabamian to earn a Ph.D. degree. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Virginia in 1887 and a Ph.D. in "history, political economy, and jurisprudence" from Johns Hopkins University in 1890. At Auburn (known until 1892 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, and from 1892 to 1960 as Alabama Polytechnic Institute), Petrie is considered the founder of both the History Department and the Graduate School, as well as the school's athletic program.

His time at the University of Virginia inspired Petrie to choose burnt orange and navy blue as the official colors for Auburn's athletic teams. Upon organizing the first Auburn football team in 1892, Petrie arranged for the team to play the University of Georgia team at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Auburn won the game, 10-0, in front of 2,000 spectators. The game inaugurated what is known to college football fans as the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.

* * * * * * *

From AU Special Collections intro to the George Petrie papers:

Biographical Sketch: Alabama historian. Petrie was appointed professor of history at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, now Auburn University, in 1887. He served as academic dean from 1908 to 1921 and as graduate dean from 1921 until his retirement in 1942. Petrie wrote extensively on Alabama and Southern history, focusing on secession and the Civil War. Petrie's father, George Laurens Petrie, was minister of the Charlottesville (Va.) Presbyterian Church from 1872 to 1928. His grandfather, George Hollinshead Whitefield Petrie, preached in several churches in South Carolina and Georgia before becoming minister of the Montgomery (Ala.) Presbyterian Church, 1857-1885.

too long, must make it in 2 posts

9:34 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

His greatest contribution to future Auburn generations may not have been the establishment of football at Auburn, but his authorship of the Auburn Creed in 1943. Let's all try to follow Dr. Petrie's example:

I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count
only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.

I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work
wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.

I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot
win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.

I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is
not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities.

I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.

I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my
fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all.

I believe in my country, because it is a land of freedom and
because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that
country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly
with my God."

And because Auburn men and women believe in these things,
I believe in Auburn and love it.

by George Petrie, Auburn professor and first coach of Auburn’s Football team


Coach Gene Chizik needs no introduction, but if you'd like to read about him, I suggest Writer Tate's outstanding work in Coaches Confidential, published by the Montgomery Advertiser.

Thanks to all your kind comments during the past 3 months of the Kickoff Kountdown. It's been a blast. A special thanks to Writer Tate for cleaning up my sloppy writing and making it presentable for front page.

btw, Mike Jernigan inteviewed in 2007 about his book on Dr. Petrie by a local ABC affiliate. You can order the book here.

Great, now I can no longer mock bammers by describing their school as a poor imitation of UVA (since they based their campus on TJ's design). We stole their colors and UAT stole their campus layout. Knowing we share something like that makes me want to hurl.

missinit, we go back to the doctor in the morning for another blood test and hopefully to get the results from the H1N1 test. Whatever she has, it is definitely viral (be it the swine flu or some other virus). The Tamiflu will keep the virus from mulitplying. She was so sick last night. Her fever is down to 101 now and she is actually able to keep liquids down and has eaten a little bit tonight. This is definitely the sickest she has been in her 20 years. They do not want her on campus until her fever has broken and her white blood count is back up.

This thing with J Harris at UAT has ties to the fisherman that Jones & Ingram went out on a boat with. Several UAT fans I knwo are saying that guy has close ties to AU (business partner is an AU grad or something) and that their is something called 'operation red dog' by a group of AU supporters trying to get UAT players in trouble by setting traps for them. They say the Jones/Ingram case was moved along because the NCAA thinks Others were trying to set a trap for them. What the crap are they talking about? Who can make this crap up? The guy telling me this is a REC memeber and firmly believes AU would do it because UAT is so far ahead of us and we can only win if we bring them down. What do you guys think about this?

THT- If most of your hero's played from 1996-1999, i'm your man. My Brother had it just a little bit better, from 2000-2003 and working with the Running Backs. Let's see, his last year had Brown, Caddy, Jacobs & Tre Smith.

I have still yet to see/hear Tub say anything bad about this team, his time at Auburn or the current coaching staff at all...and that includes saying Gus is the wildcard because he doesn't have a track record at the SEC level other than a cup of coffee at Arkansas.

Sensi,

I heard that one the other day, he said Nutt wasn't a fan of Gus and that he is unproven at the SEC level.

Had any other analist said that, nobody would care. I saw nothing wrong with his comment.

I'm going to let this go because that's what I'm telling him to do.

I did read in the Memphis Commercial Appeal that he is taking his oldest boy to watch the Nicktator in ATL this weekend.

Guess we won't get to test Josh Moon's theory this weekend.

He also complimented the staff, said while they lost some of the guys he was recruiting they had picked up others and said the he expected them to be improved and better than a lot of people think.

The funny comment he made was the he thought the SEC was down last year...which means we would have been a lot worse had the SEC been up. I don't think he realized how bad that made his coaching last year look.

Just the usual shotgun comments from Tubs.

The end.

He was on AM 560 on Wednesday, but not sure about yesterday. Click his pic under "Featured Audio".

THT,

Excellent job on the countdown.

Had anyone else made the comment, nobody would care.

He probably got the slight dig in because he's freinds with Nutt.

It was just a passing comment while answering a question that was asked of him and people seem to think it's bad.

I'm among the most patriotic stand up for Auburn people around, and I saw nothing bad in what he said.

RK, I have listened to it all again.

Much ado about nothing.

The end.

Why so abrupt with the "The end" stuff?

Good Morning, Hotties!!

It is a beautiful day on the plains! Got the kids to school decked out in their orange and blue with all the other kids. Got a "War Eagle" from Mr. Penny (the push-up guy), took Mr. Zookeeper to work and saw the tailgaters sitting out marking their spots, passed the stadium and played Nirvana on Guitar Hero 5. It's gonna be a good weekend!

Because it's pointless. I'm splitting hairs over him doing the same and I realized the hypocrisy.

Also, I'm getting in game day mode and Tubs won't be there - Chizik will.

How about that punk from Oregon?

Blogger WarEagleRK said...

That punk from Oregon had talked trash for two weeks about how they didn't like Boise and they were going to pay them back from last year.

I guess paying them back was punching one of their players and trying to attack their fans.

What up Hotties? Anyone else feel like the first game of the year was anticlimatic? I did.

1 day and counting. THT, I know it's been said, but thanks for doin all the great research for the KK.

Kristina,

Have you seen the video they did on Guitar hero 5 where once you unlock the Kurt Cobain character they have video out there of him singing Bon Jovi and other stuff?

It just looks funny and badly out of place.

Sean,

I think it's because the SC/NC State game was so boring.

Imagine had we kicked off last year with the Auburn/Miss State 3-2 game. That's the only way it would have been worse.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

RK,

Losing to Vandy 14-13 will always be worse than the 3-2 win over MSU in my book.

Losing to Vandy is always hard to take.

That being said, we are 20-20-1 with them.

8:00 AM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

That's the best way to sum it THT. I thought NC State was going to give us a bit of drama there at the end to make up for the first 55 minutes of boring. Turns out I was wrong.

I am dying to know what the Boise St. player said to Blount. Who seemed to be getting stopped by HC Peterson.

Do you think Blount turned and yelled "DUCK!!"?
