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.
Hat trick!!!

ReplyDeletebad blood yo!
ReplyDeleteI was once upon a time. no more :-(
ReplyDeleteWhere does boise state get there athletes?
ReplyDeleteIs this "hand shaking, good will" just for the first weeks games or do they expect this every week?
ReplyDeleteLet's see a flying V!
ReplyDeletethat turf should be illegal
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, there is that God awful blue rug.
ReplyDeleteI hate this field.
ReplyDeletewhat was decided pertaining to lol and rofl? I have always been more of a "that's hilarious" guy myself.
ReplyDeletechatroll was crazy....stuff was all out of order
ReplyDeletei used the boise st blue field to convince the wife i needed a new tv.
ReplyDeleteI publicly wish to apologize to Mrs. Monica for an inapporpriate comment about Brewton. I hope she accepts it. Monica's bad side- not a good place to be...
ReplyDeleteI can't watch this long, it hurts my tired old eyes.
ReplyDeleteI try to live my life the way Waylon would....except for the adultry....and probably not the extreme coke habit. Other than that, he was cool.
ReplyDeleteI want the Ducks to win so bsu doesnt take any at large bcs bis
ReplyDeleteI heard when they first put it down that birds were divebombing it because they thought it was water. (before they painted the lines)
ReplyDeletethe rug is an abomination.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia would be my guess jhag
hank, let's talk about your daddy.
ReplyDeleteprowler, I can confirm that
ReplyDeleteDid we decide if those are wings or feathers?
ReplyDeleteThe players blend in with the field
ReplyDeleteThis was a valued rug.
ReplyDeleteIt really tied the room together, man.
I'm surprised PETA wasn't all over them!
ReplyDeletewings, i believe.
ReplyDeletei wonder how much computer reprogramming they have to do for the line of scrimmage and first down lines on that blue rug
ReplyDeleteAre the feathers on the Oregon jersey shoulders supposed to be duck wings?
ReplyDeleteLook like feathers to me.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the campfire even if it was a bit crazy tonight.
ReplyDeletewings. feathers. doesn't matter. they're ugly.
ReplyDeleteUGH! That damn field!
ReplyDeleteWish EA could be at this game too!
ReplyDeletewhere's jill arrington?
ReplyDeleteExactly Norm.
ReplyDeletethat room needs extreme makeover
ReplyDeletei think it would help if they would use a bright pink football
ReplyDeletesorry i missed all the fun. i was off getting my wife medicine during le fire.
ReplyDeleteyep, i got her sick. suckie me.
jhag...
ReplyDeleteWhat's your story?
Lived in Georgia, now in Fla, seems to LOVE Auburn but looking at FSU and Ole Miss to go to school? Is Auburn in the mix?
Brewton voted and we forgive you, Bear. :-)
ReplyDeleteOregon needs to go on What Not To Wear and Boise State needs Flip This House.
ReplyDeleteA great question, Norm.
ReplyDeleteGive me a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
ReplyDeleteScottie This is a family blog. sheesh
ReplyDeleteHag = fugitive from the law
Bear 82, either Monica isn't here or your apology didn't work and she is mad.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that Brewton, AL is just a little this side of heaven. I wished I knew someone from Brewton.
ReplyDeletey'all do realize it's only 1 day and change til kickoff?
ReplyDeletei wish Monnie. i wish.
ReplyDeleteKickoff? Is someone playing a football game soon?
ReplyDeleteMy head is still swimming from the campfire and now this blue rug. sprinkle some nuts on that scoop
ReplyDeleteFOOTBALLL!
ReplyDeleteI'm an idiot and forgot I had directv. Don't ask.
Now Hank you just gotta tell me
ReplyDeleteDid your Daddy really write all them songs?
Goodnight, Hotties! Catch yall later!
ReplyDeletewhat a play
ReplyDeletescottie's already said he's stayin' up 'till 1:00. Rock on dude.
ReplyDeleteare y'all up for some Kickoff Kountdown?
ReplyDeleteI mentioned on the campfire that I was trying to remember a more anticipated season than this one and I could only come up with 1968, Sullivan's and Beasley's soph. year. Anyone else for thoughts on that?
ReplyDeleteapparently another "trick" play
ReplyDelete2003 1975 2008 1984
ReplyDeleteTwo steps forward, 3 steps back
ReplyDeleteBlue people on a blue rug is just too monochromo for me. Now all we need is for the Blue Man Group to play at halftime
ReplyDeleteI have a crush on Jason Bateman.
ReplyDeletewell, whether y'all want it or not, here it is...
ReplyDeleteI really loved Arrested Development with Jason Bateman.
ReplyDeleteI am playing football with my dog... he has good ball skills...and is being recruited as a DB
ReplyDeleteGood call THT. I guess I should have qualified that as to offense anticipation. Gus=excitement I think. I know that everyone was anticipating what the dynamic duo could do in 1968 and they did it.
ReplyDeleteT-MINUS ONE DAY TIL KICKOFF!!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY 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
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:
ReplyDeleteI 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.
WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!
GO TIGERS!!!
I love Arrested Development as well.
ReplyDeleteMissed FG...
He and his female cousin went on stage to sing karaoke. He said 'play the first song'.
ReplyDeleteIt was Afternoon Delight.
Thank you THT.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the countdown!
thanks mon:) you know Bear would not intentionally insult you; i'm the one who watches your back when the other Hotties gang up on ya- scottie B- good hubby; getting the meds.
ReplyDeleteYep then his sister and son did the same thing. So many funny things about that show.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristina. I'm going to give my puter a break and devote full concentration to trying to find the football on that field.
ReplyDeleteAlright here comes my story...
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Scottie!!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww IV, you sweet talker.
This boring night of football is a poor substitute for coming attractions.
Is there grease on that football?
ReplyDeleteSeriously...look at those all blue unis. They suck. I am so glad we don't wear all blue.
ReplyDeletePreach it, missinit
ReplyDeleteI know, Bear. You've always got my back. You know I was just messin with ya.
ReplyDeleteOregon looks like they are playing against the air - and hurting.
ReplyDeleteThanks THT, you da man and I truly mean it. I know that took alot of work. We appreciate it. Take a rest. Good job.
ReplyDeleteif we go to all one color i'm withdrawing my HUGE donations...
ReplyDeleteok, whew. on another topic - anyone know or can guess/speculate if wes byrum has his head screwed on straight this year?
ReplyDeleteI asked Jay on the campfire if he knew who will be handling kickoffs and he never answered. Anyone got an idea?
ReplyDeleteOr not?
ReplyDeleteI withdraw the question.
ReplyDeleteWill he be Wes Byrum the ice man who stuck it to the Gators - twice?
ReplyDeleteOr
Will he be Wes Byrum the slush man who couldn't connect on an extra point at Vanderbilt?
I have no idea, IV.
ReplyDeleteBy handling kickoffs do you mean kicking them or receiving them?
ReplyDeleteNot that I know either way, but I didn't want you to think we were ignoring you.
I also think it is time to withdraw my butt to bed. To one and all a very goodnight. And a special goodnight to my new found Angel Abbie. This old man loves you.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Petrie , a good man who chose our colors over a hundred years ago, hello....BURNT ORANGE AND NAVY BLUE, you'd think somebody would get it right by now!
ReplyDeleteTHT, I'm going to miss your countdowns. But I am ready for kickoff.
ReplyDeletewhen only the chicks are answering your football questions you might as well go to bed HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI was going to post an AU football highlight video from last year, but none exist.... So in the meantime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGmYcc8iicQ&feature=channel_page
ReplyDeleteLOL, Monica, no kidding.
ReplyDeleteTristian Davis 79 yard TD tonight for the Lions...way to waste talent CTT
ReplyDeleteHABOTN chicks know their football.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Petrie, a good man who knew the Good Book...
ReplyDeleteAuburn Creed = Micah 6:8
Obviously not in this case, Jet.
ReplyDeleteHDT still a go?
ReplyDeleteSpeak the Word, Missinit!
ReplyDeleteJet, how is the wife?
ReplyDeleteBoise sure looks like the better team right now
ReplyDeleteKathy, did I miss it? Did your daughter have Swine Flu? I know she must have had a hellva headache with that high temp.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHABOTN ladies are right smart indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis game is soooo boooring. Or is it just me? This is not getting me pumped for football. Does that ref sound a little weird?
ReplyDeleteMiller - I sure hope so.
ReplyDeleteGreat, 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.
ReplyDeleteOh well, what they don't know won't hurt us I suppose.
Wow! He missed again!
ReplyDeletemissinit, 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.
ReplyDeleteI love the Word Jet!
ReplyDeleteGosh I'm going to miss the WVU pep rally tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing that worries you more than a sick child, whether they are 1 or 31 (in my case.)
ReplyDeleteI hope she will feel better soon.
Gosh Mon, so am I.
ReplyDeleteCoach Calapari was here tonight and it was a mullet fest!
ReplyDeleteKathy ...
ReplyDeleteWife is doing very well. Will go to AU on Sat. to hang out at ElTurbo's apt. while we go to game.
Thanks missinit. She hates being quarantined, but she understands she is very susceptible to everything right now as long as her WBC is low, plus she is very contagious.
ReplyDeleteGood news Jet. I know the visit will make her feel better.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of your wife Jet, will she have tissue damage from the bite? Necrosis or did they get it treated in time?
ReplyDeleteGood night all.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-cant-miss-plays/09000d5d8125c17a/Pre-WK-4-Can-t-Miss-Play-Davis-TD-run
ReplyDeleteKathy...hope your daughter gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteMissinit ...
ReplyDeleteWe're hopeful ... the wound looks OK thus far.
Finally, a score.
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing that Auburn has painted the field Orange for the game Saturday....
ReplyDeleteSounds good...she will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteDMiller...what are you smokin?
ReplyDeleteBall State helps our strength of sked tonight, losing at home to North Texas.
ReplyDeleteApparently they are taking this All Auburn, All Orange thing seriously...
ReplyDeleteFirst they remove the Tiger Eyes from the stadium, now they paint the field Orange... now word yet on jersey colors.
Thanks FSJ, she is on the road to recovery. She's just inpatient.
ReplyDeleteUHHHHHHHHHHHH 1 day
ReplyDeleteThis 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?
ReplyDeleteI call it "BS".
ReplyDeleteOregon is really struggling. Looks familiar.
ReplyDeletewtc - I think I would rather concentrate on Auburn than on bama.
ReplyDeleteHOLY THUGGERY! Oregon's Blount needs to go smoke one and calm down. Hahahaha, stupid Duck.
ReplyDeleteOregon's Blount is an idiot! The end.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think those Boise fans that he decided to jaw with were lucky that enough people got involved. I think there were some broken facial bones in his fists if he wasn't restrained.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Thunderdome beat downs, did FatDrunkandStupid show up at the campfire to ask Jay G the question that he said AB ducked? I tried to get it in at the end, just in case, but wasn't able to.
ReplyDeleteanyone notice that people we haven't seen in a while are popping back up? football.
ReplyDeleteWould this concept satisfy the all-orange haters? I think it looked pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteHappy Brad Lester day!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Hotties!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't ya hate waking up in the morning and having to reset your router and modem before you can surf to HABOTN?
I blame UA-T.
Speakng of Al Gore's web, this was the headline which greeted me at the end of the driveway this morning:
ReplyDeleteHelp is here for oversurfers
Ah yes, glorious Demontray Carter day has arrived.
ReplyDelete1 day to go.
College football news picks us to be La Wrecked by La Tech. La Tech 20 Auburn 16.
Honorable mentions to former punters Richie Nell, Brian Schulman & former safety Darryl Riggins.
ReplyDeleteMornin' RK
ReplyDeleteBen Obomanu No Drops!. (plus an unsolicited commercial before the video)
Also, Tristan Davis's 79 yd run, courtesy of D.Miller earlier. TD is very fast. That DB had a huge angle on him but was just running on a treadmill when TD went by.
Did everyone see the LaGarrett Blount breakdown after the Oregon/Boise game last night?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOregon/Bosie
ReplyDeleteAnybody been cold cocked by a passer by this morning?
ReplyDeleteWhat a loser!
At least after last night Bob Davie is at mid season form. I watched the 3 quarters of that game an how he has a job I'll never know.
ReplyDelete"Does the blue turf cause insomnia, because there are a lot of people sleepwalking out there."
What?
Bob Davie could have been in The Paper Chase - he minds me of Hart.
ReplyDeleteStillman College cancels game after flu outbreak
ReplyDeleteAnybody see the Oregon RB hit the Boise state player after the game?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I get for posting a few minutes after I refreshed the page.
ReplyDeleteThat Oregon Back should be suspended for several games.
I'm looking forward to welcoming Jimmy Brumbaugh back to Auburn tomorrow. He is a great AU man. Nothing personal, but I hope he leaves town disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI just got offered two Bama / Tech tickets. I respectfully DECLINED.
ReplyDeleteHATE BAMA
THT- Jimmy is a great guy. I really enjoyed knowing him while I was there.
That guy seemed to handle the loss well.
ReplyDeleteIn honor of the thugaDuck, let's all punch someone at work today!
ReplyDeleteHappy Petrie-Chizik Day!
I'm just glad this is national shake the other team's hand weekend. Way to get this weekend started off right. Heck, even Ok State won't participate.
ReplyDeleteJayGT's article on Dee Ford in this morning's MA, for those without access to the print edition.
ReplyDeleteI'll be buying a print edition tomorrow!!!
and today's Auburn Notebook, courtesy of Writer Tate.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what Memphis station Tubs was running his trap on yesterday?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine getting to know all my Auburn heroes, Eddie. I think you are my new HABOTN hero.
ReplyDeletep.s. Don't tell Michael and Harrison.
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHere's one instance, RK.
ReplyDeleteSensi - I don't know, but my guess would be chris vernon on Fox Sports 730 am.
ReplyDeletehttp://chrisvernon.blogspot.com/
http://730foxsports.com
Thanks, THT.
ReplyDeleteSensi,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThe end.
Sensi...
ReplyDeleteHe was on AM 560 on Wednesday, but not sure about yesterday. Click his pic under "Featured Audio".
Thanks, ehyou.
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteExcellent job on the countdown.
Had anyone else made the comment, nobody would care.
ReplyDeleteHe 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.
ReplyDeleteMuch ado about nothing.
The end.
Sensi,
ReplyDeleteWhy so abrupt with the "The end" stuff?
Good Morning, Hotties!!
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm getting in game day mode and Tubs won't be there - Chizik will.
How about that punk from Oregon?
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDelete1 day and counting. THT, I know it's been said, but thanks for doin all the great research for the KK.
Kristina,
ReplyDeleteHave 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,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
RK,
ReplyDeleteLosing 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteI want to hit myself for typing that last bit.
ReplyDeleteNot THT, WERK. My bad.
ReplyDeleteI am dying to know what the Boise St. player said to Blount. Who seemed to be getting stopped by HC Peterson.
ReplyDeleteDo you think Blount turned and yelled "DUCK!!"?
200?
ReplyDelete
