Days to kickoff: 3

Our Tar Heel Tiger's Auburn Minute is brought to you by the number:

3


How many times do I have to remind you, do your school work first!

Three of our nominees received All-SEC honors during their Auburn careers, but only one was selected Academic All-SEC.

* Jorge Portela: Miami, Fla.; PK 1977-79; ALL-SEC in 1977; ACADEMIC ALL-SEC in 1978 & 1979 with a major in electrical engineering. Ranks in Auburn's Top 10 in career scoring and FGs made. His longest made FG: 52 yards. His best game came during his sophomore year when his five FGs, including a 51-yard kick, enabled Charlie Trotman to emerge a winner in his first start at quarterback. The Tigers entered that Oct 29, 1977, game against the Florida Gators as underdogs, sporting a 3-4 record. John Crane had started the first seven games. Coach Doug Barfield decided to play Trotman for a while, but Trotman had other ideas. He played well enough to stay in the entire game, completing nine of his 14 passes for 177 yards and a TD. Jorge Portela's five FGs provided the margin of victory as the Tigers downed the Gators, 29-14.

Jorge Portela is the son of Cuban refugees. Jorge's niece, Lindsay Portela, signed a LOI to compete in equestrian and recently arrived for her freshman year on the Plains.

HONORABLE MENTION

Gardner Jett: Atlanta, Ga.; PK 1970-72; ALL-SEC in 1970. His 42-yard FG with less than 10 minutes to play put Auburn on the board in the 1972 Iron Bowl. His 2nd PAT put Auburn ahead, 17-16. It was one of the most memorable days of my life, and I believe the FG was the longest of Mr. Jett's AU career to that point.

He nailed a 52-yard kick during the 1972 Gator Bowl as Auburn trounced the Colorado Buffaloes 24-3.

* Kevin Porter: Warner Robins, Ga.; CB 1984-87; ALL-SEC in 1987.

* Al Del Greco: Key Biscayne, Fla.; PK 1980-83; a solid kicker who won the 1984 Sugar Bowl with 3 FGs as Auburn defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 9-7. He ranks in Auburn's Top 10 in career scoring and FGs made. His longest FG at AU: 52 yards. He had even greater success in the NFL, playing 17 seasons with the Packers, Cardinals, and Oilers/Titans. Al spends a lot of his time on the radio these days, as does the man who overshadowed him in the SEC, Georgia's Kevin Butler.

* Rusty Williams - Moncks Corner, S.C.; RB 1996-99; led Auburn in rushing in 1996 and 1997, with a total of 716 yards during those two years.

  8. cincy, you da man. Don't worry about the level of competition for the first post. Strength of schedule is not a consideration at HABOTN.

  9. Ummm, that mention of Rusty Williams leading us in rushing those two years was, well, disappointing. I have no problem with Rusty, but we weren't exactly runningback U then.

  13. By the way, was Rusty Williams the second half of a "Buy One, Get One Free" on South Carolina RBs?

    Come back in a few years, we'll have one on the shelf you can have kinda thing.

    Just wonderin'.

  37. I've got to give my shout out to my #3 :

    GARDNER JETT

    His sweet little foot put our Tigers over the top in the 1972 Iron Bowl in one of the most surreal nights in my life. Crazy, wonderful night...it was happening but I couldn't believe it was happening!

    Seriously, when someone says 17-16 what runs through your mind????

    Been tied up for a while....see I missed a lot.

  46. Anyone else in here think "La Wreck La Tech" is harmless? I mean, I won't buy one, but I never buy their t shirts. That one is just about par for the course for a gameday themed t shirt in my opinion, though. Not a sign of the times or anything.

    The do think the cow college one is stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think the Cow College shirt caused me to be overly negatively biased. Basically, anything they do from now on will suck.

  52. In salute of the Dooleys' visit, how 'bout this on the back of a T-shirt?

    Dooley was a good old man
    He lived below the mill
    Dooley had two daughters and a forty gallon still
    One gal watched the boiler the other watched the spout
    Mama corked the bottles when old Dooley fetched them out

    ReplyDelete
  53. I have no idea what that is, and I refuse to google it.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Yeah, I agree they have some stupid stuff out there, but there are some stupid people out there who buy stupid stuff. I will still shop there for you basic AU shirts though.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Been a long time since I bought a Tiger Rags shirt, I'd say sometime in the late '80's. The one I always liked (which I think I still have somewhere) was for the '87 GT game. That was the last one in the continual series, so the shirt had a tiger paw grabbing and strangling a yellow jacket and said, "Catch a Buzz, One Last Time!"

    ReplyDelete
  56. Dooley, lived in holler.

    Dooley, give me a swaller.

    I'll pay you back some day.

    Something like that, right Jet?

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'm a man, I'm 42. I might not shake hands with you.

    Not suprised. I will be suprised if USC/NC-State, Miami/FSU, or Bama/VT comply either.

  60. I have several Tiger Rags shirts as do my daughters (that I gave them) but they got to get better before I shop there again

    I made my picks! Doing with the odds makes it a lot more difficult.

    ReplyDelete
  61. This is why you Google stuff first. At least I got part of it right.

    Dooley slippin' up the holler
    Dooley try to make a dollar
    Dooley give me a swaller

  64. From USA Today:

    BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics have signed free agent guard Marquis Daniels (FSY).
    Daniels is coming off the best of his six seasons, averaging career highs of 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in 54 games with the Indiana Pacers, 43 of them starts. The Celtics announced his signing on Tuesday.

    Daniels, 28, spent three seasons with Dallas before moving to Indiana. For his career, he is averaging 9.4 points in 351 games, including 109 starts.

    At 6-feet-6, Daniels gives the Celtics a big guard to come off the bench.

  65. My French? is rusty, please translate

    La Wreck La Tech

    What exactly does it mean??? Does La=The?????

    ReplyDelete
  66. I think it would have been better without the first La...not terribly orginal, no, but not stupid. I never buy game day shirts anyway so.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'm guessing Tiger Rags didn't want to completely rip of the old "Wreck Tech" slang so that is why they inserted the extra "La" in there. Tiger Rags is dead to me also.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Never mind! Googled it. La = the in the feminine form.

    The(girl) Wreck The(girl)Tech

    So Lame!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Bought four Tiger Rags shirts a couple of weeks ago, as part of their four t-shirts for $40 deal. I was happy with their business. Not crazy about their game shirts or the Cow College business, but I'm not about to boycott anything.

    I mean, did anybody not buy Abbey Road because it had Maxwell's Silver Hammer on it?

    ReplyDelete
  70. As an avid reader (and sparse commenter) I should probably know what a "campfire" is. Would someone care to explain?

    ReplyDelete
  71. You are all wrong. La Wreck La Tech means "Choke the fish with a serpent" in French. Really weird to put that on a gameday t shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Brent it is a chat room format and you can join it on the cover page when Jay starts it up

    ReplyDelete
  73. YES! A Maxwell Silver Hammer reference.

    I think Her Majesty is the song out of place on that album.

    The final recorded Beatles album should have ended with "The End".

    ReplyDelete
  74. I love "Her Majesty" as the ending. It was a fun, not so self serious way to do things, and well, you know me.

    I hate Maxwell Silver Hammer.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Campfires are held on the Chatroll site. You might want to go ahead and create an account.

  76. One night in college we were sitting around ready to enjoy some fine Beatles music. When we turned it on, it was only the voices singing and no music. It was rather bizarre and we were pretty freaked out. It was eventually discovered that one of the speaker wires was disconnected.

    Scottie, I get a new one every year. If my gameday shirt from '04 wasn't too big, I'd wear it this year.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Everyone hates Maxwell Silver Hammer, but I never expected to see a reference to it on here, which is why this place is top notch.

    ReplyDelete
  79. that's great news on Marquis Daniels. it'll be nice to watch him play with a good team. well, 'watch' is a strong term. it'll be easier to keep up with him anyways.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I'm abivalent towards Her Majesty. Part of me agrees with RK, the last Beatles Album (recorded anyway) should end with The End, but I also agree with Micahel. I appreciate the "we try not to take ourselves too seriously" factor. I'm torn.

    ReplyDelete
  81. i think my favorite AU shirt ever was from the '04 season. it's dark grey with navy/white print

    Luv, never thought of it as a jinx. i still wear it occasionally. just didn't want to wear it out (even more).

    ReplyDelete
  89. Paul actually thought Maxwell's Silver Hammer would be a good single and was rightly overruled by the other three. Apparently they worked on that song for days because Paul loved it so much.

    Clang clang indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  90. i don't mind the Silver Hammer song. i don't skip tracks on the cd to get to it, but i don't bypass it either.

    my favorite Beatles tune ever : Strawberry Fields.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I love Paul, but he could be just a little too clever for his own good sometimes.

  95. ehyou - you can't do that. Your speaker wire story is my favorite post of the day. Of course, I did intend to make a similar post right before you posted that one, but I decided against it. See, in my case, it was actually the balance knob and not the speaker wire that was the problem.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Rubber Soul and Revolver were their best albums.

    ReplyDelete
  97. It's hard to pick a favorite Beatles song, but if I had to pick at this moment it would be "Revolution", "Don't Let Me Down" or "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

    My favorite that Paul sings on is "I'm Down".

    ReplyDelete
  98. Favorite Beatles song ever? That's like picking my favorite Auburn running back of all time. There's not really a wrong answer. I'll go with "In My Life".

    ReplyDelete
  99. Mr. Jetson,

    i need a thorough break-down of this Eleanor Rigby character. i know her song. it's solid. however, i need the inside scoop. would you want to be in the tub with her? that's what i really want to know. muscle beach may or may not be the place to be.

  119. Poll questions...

    1) I take the ball first and unleash the full power of the death star...err our new offense.

    2) I'd air it out. Loosen up the D. If it doesn't work, then go with Tate on the ground on 2nd down.

    3) Play as base as you can get with our limitation at LB.

    4) I make them stop Ben Tate from getting the one yard.

    ReplyDelete
  120. When it comes to a short yardage situation where you just need that one yard, I still wouldn't mind going from under center. Obivously Tebow has made a living of successful short yard situations out of the shotgun, but I like to have the option of the ugliest play in fooball: the quarterback sneak.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Eddie's Brother:

    Dave Rowe would say the QB sneak was the worst play in football on 4th and inches.

    Dave Rowe would rather your quarterback step three yards into the backfield to hand off to someone everytime.

    Dave Rowe is ... an idiot.

  122. Go Moncks Corner, SC! At least the Lowcountry gets a little love at AU (even if it's only 716 yards in two years). What a nightmare pair of seasons that was.

  124. Well said Jetson. God I'll (not) miss the Daves, although I know at least one of the Daves has survived to work part of the ESPN SEC deal, though maybe only on the regionalized, ESPN plus version (which I guess is still pretty much like JP with classier branding).

  170. True Blood is one truly wild show. The second season is much wilder than the first. It makes me curious what they will come up with for next season.

  181. Norm, if you are still out there,

    Thank you for making my night.

    Read your post guiding us all to the "S#@% My Dad Says" site as we were getting ready for bed. Naturally I went there. I had tears streaming down my face I was laughing so hard which led to falling off the bed.

    It was hilarious, hubby was laughing at me laughing (and falling) and then I was laughing at him laughing at me, then he read what I was reading and couldn't quit laughing and I started back up laughing at him. We finally snickered ourselves to sleep.

    Fun was had by all! Hope we didn't wake the neighbors.

    Anyway thanks, most action we've had in a while.
