Belated Tuesday night report
Hey everyone. I was in a hurry to get home Wednesday night, so I didn't provide a post-practice report. I'll denote that with a BONUS tag.

- Gus Malzahn on Auburn's pace, which didn't satisfy him last week: ``we’re wanting to snap the football as fast as we can and keep the hammer down and not give them time to look up."
- Malzahn on if he'll use TB Eric Smith this weekend: ``We’ll just have to see. It’s hard to say right now. We’re just kinda moving him around."
BONUS - LB Craig Stevens on the beat-writer squabble he witnessed a few weeks back: ``I thought they were playing at first. I didn't know what to believe. I thought I was getting punked."
- Stevens on his performance against Louisiana Tech: ``The first half, I'm not gonna lie. I was tired in the first half because I had to run down on the first kickoff and then they had a long drive right after that. It took me a while to get my breath back. Once I got my breath back and got my second wind, I was OK."
- OL Andrew McCain on the task ahead: ``Our goal is to get to Atlanta and win in Atlanta. Mississippi State comes in with a really good defense. They play fast. They play physical. We've got a challenge ahead of us and we're in a situation where this is one practical step we can take toward our goal.
BONUS - McCain on the team's approach heading into the Louisiana Tech game: ``Coach Chizik made a point before we left LaGrange to ride over here for the game … that people were going to watch us and people are going to her about us and how that game went. Based on that, they're going to make judgments on who we are. It's the same thing in life: People either see you do something or hear about something you did and they're making judgments on who you are.
- McCain on why coaches seem almost grumpy this week: ``They don't want anybody to get ahead of themselves. It's one game and there's a whole lot more to come. It's one of those things where we said: We're going to enjoy this (on) Saturday night. That's the fruit of all the labor we've put in. Then the labor starts over again the next day."
- Kodi Burns on the "Wildcat" formation: ``I definitely think it has a lot more potential for it to be better than it was. If you notice, the guys who were tackling either Onterio or me were in the secondary. I guess it’s a pretty good sign we can get on those guys. We just have to be able to make them miss and go all the way. With the Wildcat, I think we’re just scratching the surface."

incorporeal substance
Substantalicious!
Ehyou, if it were anyone else, I'd be peeved.
But I can't be made at you. You had me at "You big dummy!"
i'm working; i ain't got time for substance
You guys crack me up.
Fair warning to Tailgaters....
I will be roaming.
I will be hungry.
I have a map.
again...I will be jealous of you all in Auburn this week.
This is entirely inappropriate, but here goes:
I'm starting to like Gus Malzhan a lot.
Step two. No need to go any farther until step two is complete with a satisfactory result
Ehyou,
Wouldn't it be incredible if a roving band of HABOTNistas secretly assembled on Saturday like a crack squad of commmados -- or maybe like a squad going commando on crack -- and wreaked havoc wherever they went?
Would that be cool?
11
I'm so useless at work right now. It must be football season.
jet, you'd dig it the most.
Jet
Leader of the resistance.
Viva La HABOTN!
nice goal mccain
I think I need to change tailgate spots...or go to the grocery store again.
Jet - I think that is SUCH a good idea. If you do it I insist you all wear those hard hat's with cans on the side that feeds your beverage of choice to your mouth via long, curly straws!
Scottie B was at least nice enough to offer to help clean up the site. Somehow I think I will get no such civilities from the HABOTN Marauders.
Missinit - Me and you both! I'll be home being jealous with you.
ha Kristina - Make them BYOsomething!
Kristina,
I always bring my own provisions and leave the place better than I found it. Promise.
Can't forget what I learned in Boy Scouts.
Sensi
Good job @ the undercover.
hurry print that promise before he deletes it!
pfffft Monica
That's one that doesn't get deleted.
;-) Sensi
Thanks Aero.
I expect to be booted any moment now.
Monica ...
We can't do that when we're on duty.
Signed,
Jet and the SWAT Team (Swaggalicous Auburn Tailgaters)
MSU @ Auburn will be LIVE on:
Fox Sports South, Sun Sports, Fox Sports Southwest, Fox Sports Wisconsin, Fox Sports Midwest, Fox Sports Houston (Louisiana), Fox Sports West
... and, for Tucson Scottie, the game will be shown on a delayed basis on Fox Sports Arizona (Sept. 13, 5 p.m. PT)
"You'd dig it the most."
What movie is that from? I know that line.
Pulp Fiction
Daniel Jetortega shall rally the masses with his battle cry...
"Chicken wings, chicken wings!!"
Pulp Fiction
Jet Your beverage of choice couldn't be Diet Coke or Water and still be in compliance with the SWAT Code of MisConduct?
Dang, Stina is fast.
Ain't no thang like a chicken wing!
Stina is FAH. and she's got a kick-A tailgate spot.
respect the hotties. respect the tailgate spot.
K = FAH
I'm going to need good walking shoes to make the rounds this week.
There is no diet coke at my tailgate spot...head's up.
Jay, don't forget Fox Sports Carolinas. I am already mentally prepared for the game. I could crush MSU on my own with my unrealistic expectations of my mental powers.
Auburn 45, MSU 6.
What about bourbon zoo keeper?
i encourage all roaming-hottie tailgaters to provide their own beverages.
just sayin'.
Real Steve Jobs made his first public appearance today at Apple's iPod event...
Good grief he looks bad.
Jobs
wow, he does look bad
If Steve Jobs looks any worse, he could be forced to become a member of Steely Dan.
Mon...
That pic is totally awesome.
Here he is just three years ago...
2006
I am not sure on the bourbon, actually. I would BYOB
And Scottie is the ideal tailgate drop by-er. Just sayin'
Grrrrrr...my phone keeps missing calls..
Stupid AT&T.
I would like to think that if I ever made it to the tailgate of a Hottie, they would not only provide me with beverages but also feed me grapes and give me a back massage. I would not be required to clean anything.
15 mins and it's the Auntie Em.
Kristina...
We're just talking big. You'll find me even perfecter than Scottie.
No, ehyou YOU are totally awesome!
(ummm...I'm not eating sugar so maybe I'm just seeing things, but is there a little piece of chocolate cake over the Blogger "B"?)
Michael - Do you want those grapes peeled?
wow, not sure i've ever been called an 'ideal' anything. thanks K.
ehyou, i am sure you are superb. i hereby dub thee an even perfecter tailgater!
ehyou, I'm not scared.
No Mond, not peeled. I don't want to be high maintenance.
If I come to zookeeper's tailgate I expect some crimson and white decorations...and some chairs in houndstooth print...and perhaps some Maker's Mark.
I'll provide the BBQ.
not sure if anyone cares, but the new intro video is Saliva, 'Family Reunion'.
i just googled.
Join the Auburn Football Insider Podcast tonight at 8 p.m. CT. Eddie and Sensi have some divergent opinions about where this team is heading in to week two. Plus a special guest. If you miss the live show, download for free on ITunes.
Thanks for the support.
Let me guess Sensi is very low key and not as optimistic but Eddie is optimistic about the teams future?
Not really, RK. We were both impressed and excited on Saturday.
We just have different thoughts about this week.
Tune and enjoy.
you can see said video.... "HERE"
Steve, that Fox programming note was provided by Auburn.
I hope you're right (for your sake) about the game being on Fox Sports Carolina. Auburn doesn't miss this programming stuff very often.
I haven't really liked the pregame video since about 2005 or so. 2004 was the best. I remember being like "Wow, that was awesome" when they showed it early in the season, before we even knwe we were good.
So basically, we are as good as our pregame warm up video, and this new one is just pretty good but not great, so I estimate 7 or 8 wins.
My friend Kevin Strickland has a good read about Auburn's victory. Check it out if you get the chance.
I am unbelievably jealous of those of who will be in Auburn on Sat. It's been too long.
At least I have the Lowcountry Auburn club kickoff party to look forward to - should be about 40 other folks there. I hope FAH continues to translate well through the TV.
The "In 2004 Auburn Will Rise" video will always be the best.
I remember getting chills watching that before the LaMonroe game. It was a perfect early statement when put with how we crashed and burned in 2003.
Surely folks aren't changing their predictions after only one encouraging game?
I'm gonna follow the lead of Todd and Tate.... and just breathe a little easier for now.
My predictions remain the same, Hoopie. But some questions were answered - partially and others remain open for review.
One game is one game. But at least we have a game to talk about now.
I remain unrealistically optimistic and we will crush MSU 45-6, causing MSU fans to rise up in protest and insist that the need Sylvester Croom back.
Pour me some of that, Steve. It sounds like it'd be fun to be on that side.
I'm with Steve. Must be something in the Carolina air.
A little Ryan Adams for Lowcountry and Steve.
Sensi, thanks for the excellent Strickland article. It is amazing how similar the scores in the last two openers were, while the feeling we got from them is totally different.
It just goes to show you can't really judge a performance solely on the point spread. Against LaMo, we won, but without the sustained drives. Against LaTech, it was as if they were grasping at straws to try to stop us.
One of the ways I judge a performance is by the number of first downs. If I remember correctly, we had 29 versus LaTech's 19. That is a much better indicator of how the game went. When you dominate in terms of number of first downs you win, unless you are playing a Steve Spurrier team in the 90s.
Nice choice with the Ryan Adams.
Fan of the RA, RK?
Nice.
A big difference in the openers from the past two years is how we scored.
Last year it was a punt return and a defensive TD, and really only two sustained drives the whole game and we looked confused trying to do anything.
This year it a long play, long drives and offensive TD's.
I do disagree with the article that the fumble to start the 2nd half would have been huge to the team last year in the opener, it was too early for that to kill us.
However if we had played this game with La Tech in October or November of last year and it was 13-10 and we fumbled, they win the game.
Sensi,
Yeah. Personally I think he's a DB (not defensive back either), however I do like his songwriting and his music.
I was a Ryan Adams fan back when Whiskeytown came out.
We're getting the Miss St game on Dish Network because we ordered Game Plan.
Same here on both counts, RK.
Crazy was a favorite Whiskeytown song.
Mon,
I have dish network and it's showing up as being on ch. 420 (Fox Sportssouth)
Sensi,
I've been trying to find the out of print Whiskeytown EP "Rural Free Delivery" for a long time now. Amazon has it used, but I'm not paying $35 for a CD. I have their other three albums.
Discovered Whiskeytown for the first time a couple of years back. "Everything I Do" appeared on an episode of Friday Night Lights during the first season and I was kind of hooked. I knew it sounded like RA, but didn't know he fronted a band before going solo.
RK, I may have a connection for that. I'll ask.
420 is Fox Sports Ohio here
We're getting it on 441 an HD Alternate channel. At least it's in HD.
Cool, just let me know.
BEASLEY!!!!
Mon,
Sorry, didn't think about you being as north as you are.
There has to be an alarm that THT has that rings anytime we get near 88.
MSU's hope has to be that Anthony Dixon will make a serious contribution offensively. Against Jax State they did pretty much rely on the run, but Dixon is supposedly their most talented back.
Don't forget that Greg "Use to coach receivers" Knox has said that MSU has as good a set of runningbacks as he has been around. Apparently Ronnie, Caddy, Irons, and Rudy have some competition. Now we find out how big of an expert on runningbacks Knox really is.
I saw WhiskeyTown a couple of years ago here in Huntington. Once again our fantastic Public Radio production "Mountain Stage" brought them to town the same night we saw Brandi Carlile.
Ask, Q.Groves how talented Dixon is...He ran right by him while Groves was trying to get the QB sack record in the 2007 disaster vs Miss State.
Wow, if someone would just post player names for all the post numbers less than 100, we would really get rolling.
Dixon can ball.
Actually, I follow Groves on twitter and that is probably the biggest mistake he made at Auburn. I don't have the testicles to bring it up.
Dixon is a good back. He and MSU are going down big time.
At least Groves was honest after the game that he had no idea what was being called from the sidelines because he just wanted the sack record.
It made sense since it was a 3rd and 15 that he should blitz.
Q tweets TOO much. I unfollowed him.
RK - There's a RFD on Ebay for $24.99 + $3 shipping.
Strike out on my end, RK. He is in search for the same.
any news on pybus
JGT - that's a lot of love for the keystone state.
http://pollspeak.com/pollstalker/pollstalker.php?r=V&s=9&p=18&w=2&t1=0&t2=0&v=27
Mon,
I look every now and then and that's just too much for a CD. I don't mind paying $15 or so, but I just can't justify a 8 song CD for $25+.
Some people are wanting $100 or more for it.
A couple of things from the last thread:
Jay, I can't believe you have never heard Octopus' Garden. I like it. Tell your wife Happy Birthday and thank her for sharing you with us.
For those in B'ham, The Auburn Tigers Everyday show is on Sat mornings at 10:30 am on Direct TV's ABC 33/40 (Direct Tv channel 33)
Anyone coming to our tailgate - we won't be there until about 10:30 am. We go to our condo first and have breakfast and watch a bit of Gameday. So put us later on your list to crash :)
UGH I want to see footage of Chizik wiht his whistle during warm ups dangit
Cincy ..
Be careful what you wish for ...
Sincerely,
Jet and the SWAT Team (Swaggalicious Auburn Tailgaters Team)

You can catch some pre-game warmups by going to www.auburntigers.com and clicking on Louisiana Tech highlight video.
Sorry, Im on my tablet, too much effort linking things.
Allen: Someone is going to complain regarldess of who I vote and where. It's a battle than cannot be won.
I'd certainly hope I wouldn't face ridicule and scorn here at my home base over ranking Pitt No. 12 ... in the season's second poll.
Well, Steelers are a good team, JayG. I think they are OK at 12.
:)
It's always something. Can't win.
12 is fair. The Big East is fairly underrepresented in the polls. Their teams aren't garnering a ton of respect.
It's all moot until midseason anyway.
I true it says media cannot be played
MaYbe I should join the Habotn Mob. Sounfs like fun.
Cincy will end up being the best team in the Big East this year. That is my guess.
I want to get my son-in-law an iPod for Christmas. Any advice between the new 16gb Nano with video or the 8gb Touch?
Cincy- definitely the touch. It has video also and a lot better screen than the nano.
Is it Saturday yet?
Eddie,
Go with the touch even if I can only afford the 8 gb?
I would check out the Microsoft Zune's Cincy, I was given a Zune when my Ipod crapped out on me. I have had zero problems with it, and the interface is pretty easy to use. The biggest advantage of it for me over the ipod is the subscription service the Zune service offers. I pay $15/month for unlimited music, compared to a buck/song with Itunes. I don't know if he listens to alot of music but if he does it is a much cheaper option.
There is a Zune HD coming out before Christmas, it is supposed to be comparable to a Ipod touch.
Definitely worth checking out.
I was having some fun on a message board today in a thread where we post goofy rumors and stuff. None of it is meant to be true; it's all very tongue and cheek.
I posted: Word on the skreets is Greg Knox was spotted on the MSU sideline actually coaching last week.
The Prowler responded with: Well, that'll just free up another LBer, because he won't have to worry about the RB catching the ball.
What the mother$*(^*&$^ O$&()*$# do you mean you can't win. You have a fan club, you singlehandedly carry your organization, and you have a wifey that plays rock band with you.You're living the life of a golden god. Chin up and fist down.
On the other hand, Nobody's ever heard of AllenD, and nobody ever will. Somoans are girl scout cookies, not famous people.
Re: The Poll: I'm just happy you dropped Iowa to 25 (though, I still think out is where they belong. A team that barely wins because a 1-AA team beats itself with chip shot field goals isn't better than 95 other teams). I'm okay with your poll. Plus, you have Bama lower than 86% of the voters. That's a win in my book! (I'd keep that stat to yourself, though, lest people start accusing you of being an Auburn fan again:-) ).
substance from 30,000 feet.. bloggin n flyin...
Riding one of those long range satellites, DL?
Cincy- That depends on how much Video you want on the ipod, if it will be loaded with mainly music, the 8gb would be fine, but if mainly video, then 16gb would be ideal, but the Nano is not ideal for watching video. I have the 8gb 3G Iphone which is very smiliar to the touch and it has all that I will ever need.
US Soccer doesn't look as good against T&T as they did against Mexico. It's like a game of hackey sack going on at midfield.
Until they start making iPod Touch big enough, I'm sticking with my 120 GB iPod Classic.
Sensi sent me this delusional bama fan in action. It's funny, but there are some bad words, so don't play around children.
Crazy Bama Fan Rant
Crazy Bama fan is redundant.
Been playing Beatles Rock Band this evening... lots of fun, but the timing on everything is a bit different from the other Rock Band games, so it was tough to get used to.
I've enjoyed Beatles Anthology on VH1 Classics this evening.
Eddie, that is one of the saddest videos I believe I have ever seen. That guy's parents really need to adjust his priorities. That is simply incredible.
I think our Bama neighbor is Ricky's older brother....he doesn't get invited to anything.
Steve...how long since has it been since you've been around Bammers?....it can get much sadder.
We just scored that 93 yard TD again!!!
Surely this bama fan video is staged. I'm bad, I yell at the TV, but this kid is over the top.
Wow Peter - that was a nice post.
My SanDisk Sansa has outlasted every iPod I've ever known. Never had an ounce of trouble. Has HUGE battery life. Super easy interface and was WAY less expensive. CNET.com continues to give it excellent reviews.
We go live in less than 10 folks.
Call in and give us your thoughts.

That video reminds me of the crazy Florida fan fan from a couple of years ago.
RK - That's pretty crazy about the Whiskeytown CD. I read a little about it and it seems they are hard to find. Not sure if you're going to find one for $15 now that they've become a hot commodity, but I hope you do! I'll keep my eyes open. I only have one of their CD's and sadly it's not that one.
Cincy: Though MonD apparently has the best mp3 player in the universe, my first-generation iPod nano has been with me every day since November 2005. Never had a problem. I work out with it, run with it, play basketball with it, I sledded with it, I blogged with it, walked along beaches on both coasts with it.
It's a question of what your recipient wants: Something to use at home or something to in with an active part of his/her life.
One doesn't run with an iPod Touch.
So Goldberg said Eric Smith will play Saturday.
I'd trust Goldberg on that.
I'm not at Auburn to confirm.
I will be in AU again this weekend. I will be visiting the sites of those posted on the map. I will bring my on beverage, like any of us should, and just visit everyone to see what you guys are up to. I would like to put a face with several of you.
Thanks for all the advice on the iPod. I will get my daughter to do a little sleuthing and see what purposes he has in mind. I'm thinking he wants to be able to use it when he works out.
The most impressive thing about the first game had nothing to do with passing or running. The impressive thing about the first game was how few mistakes we made offensively. Last season we looked the opponent square in the eye and shot ourselves in the foot. The worst part was we did it over and over again. Barney Fyffe would be proud. The most impressive thing about the first game was that a team that looked like it didn't know what it was doing all of last season looked prepared. Regardless of our record this season, ChizCo is a success in my book.
Taylor also said his receivers didn't miss an assignment on running routes or blocking.
Cincy- I have an ishuffle and itouch. The shuffle is the one I run, workout with. I have used the touch while working out and it just seemed too bulky. Touch also has contacts, calender and internet access, so it has that going for it.
Is this weekend a sellout? I hear there are RVs rolling in now.
Evidently Coach Chizik feels the OMac hype is premature. According to Andrew Gribble coach CGC stated the following in his SEC Teleinterview today.
“People can jump to a lot of conclusions with one football game. We don’t know what he is yet. He had one good football game and there was a lot of other people responsible for his success other than him. That was one game out of the box. We’ve blinked and moved on. He’s got to continue to just be a better football player. As the season goes on, whether he has earned the right to handle the ball more remains to be seen. If he does earn that right, can he do it? Well, that remains to be seen, too.
“So we’re kind of in a feeling out process, too. We’re not going to put a whole lot of stock into a guy that rushes for 110-some odd yards one time. If you do it six or seven times in a row, now you’ve got our attention.“
One game does not a season make.
But I was impresssed by the movement of the ball and the smooth way the team went about it's business. I also was very impressed with the adjustments made during half time. The continuation of the offense during the whole second half. No sitting or squating on the ball after we got the 23-13 lead.
Sounds like a challenge to me. Will FAH step up to it? 6 or 7 100+ games would be nice.
Hoopie- Chiz himself is very high on McCaleb, I have it from good authority.
you're an asshat
I so hope that was directed at me.
Kathy ... don't know if it is a sell out but we carried the motorhome over today (can't go in until 4 PM on Wednesdays in the hay fields) We pulled in at about 4:05 and there were already several there ... but I don't believe there were as many as there was last Wednesday. When we left it was probably half full of RVs
which post, mon? I did something wrong again, didn't I?
i know you do -you're a bigger attention whore than I am and that's saying something
365 - Where do you live? I used to get such a kick and thrill out of it when the RV's started showing up on campus on Wed. when I was in school
No Peter you've been alarmingly well behaved and entertaining.
Jay G, you take a break from band practice to watch any of the footey match against the islands of Trinidad and Tobago?
Does that win guarantee the US a spot in the World Cup?
I used to walk down Biggio on my way to class and would love how the RVs would start lining the street on Wednesday. Same peeps every week. I really should have taken the time to meet some of them, but was always too "busy." I bet they had great stories.
Mon,
I'll work on that. Don't want to stain my rep, you know.
Wait, I called Steve the illigitimate offspring of Paul Obnoxiousbaum and a Care Bare. That wasn't nice. Give me some credit here. ;-)
I don't see anything wrong with that, Peter.
fuji apples dipped in hummus is yummy
I think the apples are great, but hummus is boring. I've never had the two together, so maybe it balances out to something good.
Somehow, I feel like i have been wronged.
I love red pepper hummus. In fact I am having that at the tailgate this week.
mmmmm yummy Cincy - something else for me to be jealous about!
Speaking of @$$hats, I was driving from Bham to the Gump this afternoon following a meeting at a company my agency regulates, there were aforementioned @$$chapeaus in Kia hatchback which was being operated in a reckless fashion.
I finally figured out why. The @$$fez in the back seat was mooning everyone, and his @$$beret buddies were so tickled by it that the auto was swerving as they yukked it up.
CIncy-my daughter got me hooked on hummus. I use the crusty bread with it. Can't eat much though, while trying to get to my orginal weight.
7.4 lbs.

Red pepper hummas and corn hole? Wow, I had better get a copy of THT's map and head to Auburn
Nevermind.
Eddie...so according to your source, CGC is very high on Omac. Why then do you think CGC made that statement?
BTW, I never said that CGC wasn't high on Omac...I didn't refer to the coaches opinion on Omac at all.
I read his statement as: Omac has a lot of work to do before the FANS should expect something special. I think that CGC is trying to calm down the fans.
Hoopie ...
CGC is trying to prevent invalid positive speculation.
don't forget the declarative statements
im so pumped
why, jhag?
Jet....you'll need to take that up with the coach.
The Miss State game, I didnt exactly see the AU game in entirety Saturday
I got a notice that my cornhole bags would be delivered tomorrow. I am a little concerned though because the email said my RED and navy blue bags would be delivered Thursday. In response to my panicked email the sender assured me he sent ORANGE. I am going to be one mad woman if they sent red.
BUT i did TIVO it
Fox Sports So is featuring AU right now.
I read where Hugh Hefner filed for divorce from his estranged wife....
My question: Why would Hefer EVER get married in the first place?
But Cincy, the red bags will go well with the red pepper hummas.
IV..I posted earlier today that I've met your childhood friend "Coosa". His daughter is a friend and we met him at a holiday party a few years ago.
My DVR is showing the game right now.
ESPN article on TOP 25 Recruiters
Trooper Taylor, Auburn
The top recruiter on what is a very good recruiting staff, Taylor first started gaining notoriety during the Class of 2005, when he helped Phillip Fulmer and Tennessee assemble an outstanding recruiting class. Thus far at Auburn, Taylor has helped to introduce several outside-of-the-box ideas like the "Big Cat Recruiting Weekend" that took place in the spring. Atlanta is a very important area for Auburn (parts of the metro area are less than an hour from the campus) and Taylor landed his first major commitment from the area in Under Armour All-American Antonio Goodwin (Booker T. Washington). Give Taylor credit with making a strong evaluation on Goodwin, who didn't have the buzz of other players, but is a four-star-rated prospect and the No. 23 overall prospect in the country.

It's always something. Can't win
Aw shucks JGT, thicker skin than that on picks that are public. You could have come back with Pitt beat a tough Youngstown State team that was coming off a 4 win 2008 (uh, nevermind), or how about Pitt freshman was the leading rusher with 129 yards, the most for a frosh in an opener since Dorsett did it in 1975...sounds like our frosh...
All is good, I simply noticed you ranked both Pitt and PSU above the majority of your peers.
PS - Is ESPN/ABC disproportionately represented among the AP voters? I guess they do watch the games...
IV,
Red will never do!
Got ya Hoopie. Coosa=nice guy, not like me. We go back a long way. Started Auburn together, worked with the Highway Department together. We kind of split paths in 1961 when I moved to the Gump. I saw him at our 40th HS reunion in 1997 but missed him at our 50th in 2007. You know that you are old when you start talking about having a 50th reunion.
Cincy,
Is that avatar picture you? If it is, what frightened you?
That is a picture someone snapped as I walked into my surprise 50th birthday party last week. I was truly and thoroughly surprised, as evidenced by that terrible picture!
I am going to be a little cautious on this game and pick it AU 21, MSU 13. I think that we should be aware of over optimism.
But over optimism is so much fun. I am picking 35-10.
Cincy, Catching people in a picture when they are just being themselves is never a horrible picture. I think that you like very nice. I thought maybe you had been frightened by a missed CH toss.
IV and I are in the same camp.
Auburn 24, MSU 21.
After all, you thought enough of the picture to share it with us.
Sensi, that's far too close for my liking.
