First Post: Friday

Hey everyone. Thanks for participating in a lively night of comments. Looks like the Tiger Talk/ESPN game combo works for a lot of HOTTIES, so we'll keep doing it that way.

Special thanks to Chip Chip for providing me a key aural hookup. Your hustle is (now) noted and appreciated.

Beatles: Rock Band is great. Best Rock & Roll band ever? I'd have to say yes. Think about all the different kinds of songs they made. Many of them were excellent. Truly amazing what they accomplished in a relatively short period of time.

Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

Dear Leader said...: Substance; 8:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: DL brings great substance!; 8:57 AM
ballin said...: I wish DL would bring some blue paint to take care of the logo.; 8:58 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: DL, I told a story about you, the great Jong-Il Kim, in yesterday's early threads.

I laughed about the old days ... when you were an electrician and we watched "WarGames" together. Sorry I didn't return your calls. Pyongyang isn't my kind of town.

No offense.; 9:00 AM
Dear Leader said...: I am in training in Philly this week.. They are killing me with the laptops down crap...

It really crimps my blogg'in style. I will have to go back and read the story..; 9:01 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Pat's is the best cheesesteak; Geno's a close 2nd.; 9:02 AM
michael said...: THT, how many times do I have to tell you that the original Philly Cheesesteak at Chili's is the best?; 9:04 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JayGT - that was indeed a very interesting story about the old days. I couldn't tell if it was entirely fiction or fiction based on fact. I was thinking pure fiction but you were convincing enough I began to wonder if you and DL were childhood buddies.

My mom would never have let me play with a commie kid.; 9:04 AM
Harrison said...: tht just doesn't listen; 9:05 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Michael - probably everytime I mention Pat's.; 9:05 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: should we worry about this 'aural hook-up'? sounds fishy.; 9:05 AM
michael said...: I know Harrison. You just can't get through to some kids.; 9:05 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: kids. That's funny. It would be so cool to be a kid again and not listen to anything adults say.; 9:06 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: SuperSport 930am, the official station of HATE.; 9:07 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: btw Harrison, do you want to put your tailgate spot on the Hotties tailgate map?; 9:07 AM
michael said...: there is a Hotties tailgate map? Do you also denote where the buried treasure is on the map"? I already have a lot of maps, and it would be nice if some were multi-functional.; 9:11 AM
Harrison said...: sure. It is on the corner of Wire and Roosevelt. shared by Will and shesaid.; 9:11 AM
WarEagleRK said...: My wife and I were talking after playing Beatles Rock Band yesterday and it's just amazing the talent and genius behind these guys.; 9:12 AM
michael said...: Since no one knows what each other looks like, we should have a Hotties call. When you know you are in the vicinity of a Hotties tailgate, yell "HOTTIES HOOOOOO!" (that's an elongated "ho", not an elongated "hoo" that would sound like "who". It sounds like "hoe", ho.) The Hotties have to answer "HOTTIES HEEEEEEEEERE!" (that's an elongated "here", not an elongated "heere"...which I guess would sound the same, ho).

Dig?; 9:15 AM
Harrison said...: michael do you have a map to where you buried that drifter you killed?; 9:15 AM
Harrison said...: it's easy to find us, we have an orange auburn tent; 9:16 AM
michael said...: Yes Harrison, I have such a map. It is also my grocery store/dance hall/Indian burial ground map. Like I said: multi-functional.; 9:16 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: harrison, that sounds like a star-studded tailgate right there.; 9:20 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: ESPN discussed McCaleb being like Bo Jackson???? Other than the freshmen stat that he shares with Bo, that should be the end of the comparison at this point.; 9:20 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'll be looking looking for Chester Copperpot on Saturday.

WHERE MY PEEPS AT?; 9:21 AM
ehyou said...: Scottie's post got a shout-out!!
Cool; 9:24 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: crap, i missed it!!!!!!!! dang work phone calls!; 9:26 AM
ehyou said...: I'll be doing the truffle shuffle during the halftime show Saturday.; 9:26 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison, please adjust your thingie to the exact location on the HABOTN Tailgaters' Map

use the little edit button

Thanks.; 9:26 AM
michael said...: Radio is the best!; 9:27 AM
michael said...: I WANT A SHOUT OUT!; 9:27 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: that's not exactly the editing I was expecting, but then, you are Harrison.; 9:31 AM
mytommyd said...: Work doesn't want me to listen to the show.#$%^#%^&@!!!; 9:31 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: michael, i hereby SHOUT OUT to you from knoxville.; 9:32 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wait a minute there buster. I bet Michael was in there editing the tailgate map. I better take away the edit function before he puts every dance hall on there.; 9:35 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: SHOUT OUT.; 9:35 AM
michael said...: Now why would you think I was editing the map, THT? There is at least one other person who knows where I buried that drifter. Oh wait, nevermind, the drifter himself doesn't count, does he? Because he's buried now.

And thank you for your kind shout outs.; 9:37 AM
michael said...: In other news, that other thread is gone. I told yall it didn't exist.; 9:37 AM
mytommyd said...: Michael-I didn't get a shout out from that guy.

Lt Michael- Give Michael a shout out

Guy- Shout Out!

Michael - You watch your ghjkj!; 9:37 AM
Norm said...: Instead of "HOTTIES HO!" how about, "HOTTIES ASSEMBLE!"? The idea worked well for Ron Burgundy.; 9:38 AM
michael said...: That's fine Norm, if you want to completely ignore all the hard work I did in creating the Hotties call. But sure, change it, whatever.; 9:40 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Was the mention of Chewabacca on the Hatin segment?; 9:40 AM
Harrison said...: ok. i moved that blue thingy about 1 inch. and that's where i tailgate.; 9:40 AM
Harrison said...: if anyone comes looking for me, I don't really have a giant moustache or red blazer. so don't be disappointed. However, I am strikingly handsome; 9:41 AM
mytommyd said...: Or "Hotties Activate!!!"
Form of an Eagle
Shape of a Block AU; 9:42 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I don't understand how to place a pin. I feel remedial.; 9:42 AM
mytommyd said...: Is there a secret handshake that the hotties use to be recognized and allowed into the tailgate area?; 9:43 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: What other thread?; 9:43 AM
Norm said...: Michael/Boxhead/Thighmaster/Queen/etc- absolutely no offense was intended and I don't mean to diminish your fine work. Your contributions are legendary. I only meant to offer another suggestion which would never have entered my mind had it not been for your evil genius. It's strictly because of you that this HABOTN is the great place it is.

Oh, that jgt guy's not so bad himself.; 9:44 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: thanks, Harrison. I realize it's an old satellite map. Are those tennis courts no longer there?; 9:45 AM
mytommyd said...: Harrison ... You tailgate ON the tennis courts?; 9:45 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "I feel remedial"

LOL, I wake up like that every day.; 9:45 AM
Harrison said...: i moved it on the map part, not the satellite part.

There is an outdoor pool there now where the tennis team used to play. the tennis team has a new facility off shug jordan; 9:50 AM
Harrison said...: ok i moved it again.; 9:53 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Thanks, Harrison. Does this sound reasonably accurate:

SE corner of Wire Road & Roosevelt near the outdoor pool where the tennis courts used to be.; 9:54 AM
Anonymous said...: michael said...
Since no one knows what each other looks like, we should have a Hotties call. When you know you are in the vicinity of a Hotties tailgate, yell "HOTTIES HOOOOOO!"

That made me LOL; 9:54 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 'cept DL. We can recognize him in his Tiger Stripes speedo.; 9:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Hotties, please excuse me for a while. I need to catch up on work so I can go see if they have fried catfish in the cafeteria today.

Hotties Hooooooo!!!; 9:58 AM
Anonymous said...: Tar Heel, don't feel bad about waking up feeling remedial every day. I do too. Two of my coworkers were talking about cell phones yesterday and they might as well have been speaking another language.; 10:00 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: is the Hatin segment always 9:05? I thought it was 9:30.

"Tebow is a baby rhino with a chainsaw for his junk"
-J Kev (or J or Kev)

That explains why he's a virgin. I'd feign untra-religion, too if I had that problem. It would save a lot of explanation.; 10:01 AM
Norm said...: Luv - what's this crazy talk you're spouting here? Cells with phones? Balderdash. Can't happen.; 10:02 AM
mytommyd said...: PF - I think that would also make it considerably difficult to talk a partner into the deed once they encountered his junk.; 10:04 AM
mytommyd said...: Or is that what you just said?; 10:04 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: yes, that's what I was getting at. thanks for making it more black and white.; 10:05 AM
mytommyd said...: Yeah - its Friday, I'm very preoccupied with getting out of here, and seem to be having trouble with reading comprehension.; 10:07 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: wait, is there really gonna be a roving band of rogue hotties tomorrow?; 10:12 AM
Seanzie said...: Y'all I'm excited, football season is here, both NFL and CFB. It's Friday. I have a project scheduled to go into production on Monday, it's been a journey. If only the weather would cooperate!; 10:13 AM
ehyou said...: PF...yes, no joke.; 10:14 AM
Norm said...: PF - just as sure as the sun comes up in the morning, there will be roving HABOTNistas tomorrow. Be afraid. Be very afraid.; 10:15 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: that's really scary.; 10:15 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: I'm going to mob up with some other hotties since I'll be coming alone, meeting up with my friend / co-season ticket holder at the game. Hope to make it to some of the tailgates.; 10:15 AM
cincytiger said...: Yeah, it is, Pete,
I'm thinking I need to go buy more food.; 10:15 AM
michael said...: Also buy some mace, cincy. Lots of mace.; 10:17 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Oh, man, Tebow is only one rushing touchdown from catching Caddy, and only five from Herschel. I hope he doesn't get any more.; 10:18 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Yes mace....and a rabid racoon. Keep it in a cage, though. Only use it if you have too. And never point it at someone if you're not prepared to release it.; 10:20 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I think the most impressive Tebow stat is his TD to Int ratio of 68-11.

That's just his passing TD's.; 10:21 AM
Seanzie said...: The best news for Auburn, we won't see Tebow behind center again, unless we win the SECW.; 10:23 AM
cincytiger said...: Maybe I will bring my armadillo :); 10:26 AM
J. Kev said...: Jay G., thanks for a great Segment of Hate, as always.

And a tip o' the fedora to the HOTTIES. Our 'net traffic always spikes during the 9:00 hour.

Two housekeeping matters:

1. 9:05 is JGT's normal slot. We had to accomodate another guest last week, and figured JGT could use the extra sleep.

2. I trust there were no static issues today?

Big Snacks, glad you enjoyed the Baby Rhino comment. Couldn't do Chewbacca, so I hope that sufficed.; 10:26 AM
Harrison said...: So who will be part of this traveling circus Saturday?; 10:27 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: J.Kev, good show. thanks for encouraging the HATE.; 10:28 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: When will the podcast be up? For some reason I got 9:30 in my head and missed it.

I demanded Chewabacca, but will glady accept chainsaw for junk.; 10:29 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Good show JKEV.

I'll probably meet up with Jet and his mauraders, or at least try.; 10:29 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: the wife and i are leaving knoxville in the morning for AU. doubt we'll have much time to mingle. :(; 10:33 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: j/kev, I heard you mention another blog. Are we your favorite?; 10:33 AM
Harrison said...: i'm gonna flip the switch on y'all. If you come to my tailgate you have to bring me something; 10:38 AM
michael said...: I'm going to flip the switch on you, Harrison. If you bring food to my tailgate, then you have to help bury a drifter.; 10:40 AM
Norm said...: Harrison, since you weren't very specific, you have to be satisfied with whatever I bring. HA!; 10:41 AM
Harrison said...: no way. Last time i got all them blisters on my hands; 10:41 AM
michael said...: I told you not to take your oven mitts off, Harrison. Lessons learned.; 10:42 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: so, are y'all wasting electricity flipping the switch constantly, or is that just a myth.; 10:42 AM
AU1292 said...: Oh the days I spent in trailers at Forest Avenue back in elementary school.; 10:42 AM
Harrison said...: acceptable items include:
beer, ribs, chips, steaks, golf equipment, original paintings by famous artists, kittens, chicken wings, a guitar, seinfeld box set etc; 10:42 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: The fried catfish was DEEElishus, btw.; 10:43 AM
J. Kev said...: Podcast should be up around lunch. I'll advise the HOTTIES.

Of course HABOTN is my favorite blog.

I think the funniest college football blog (and maybe sports blog in general) is Every Day Should be Saturday.

Its proprietor, Orson Swindle (whose real name is Spencer Hall & he blogs for the Sporting News) is a guy who could write for SNL. No exaggeration. He's a Florida grad, and Big Snacks, I must come clean here. It was he who first said "Tim Tebow is a baby rhino with a chainsaw for a d*ck."; 10:43 AM
Norm said...: THT - that's just a myth begun during the horrible years of the Carter administration. Keep flipping with no concern whatsoever.; 10:43 AM
Norm said...: Harrison - it's simply too late to try and go back and correct your oversight. While those are certainly acceptable items, you didn't spell that out originally.; 10:44 AM
Harrison said...: ok fine, bring me whatever. but i don't have to like it; 10:46 AM
Norm said...: Exactly. You stay classy Harrison.; 10:47 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: JKev didn't ask Don Jackson about me.

Disappointing.; 10:49 AM
J. Kev said...: Dude, we were pressed for time.

Good to know you listened, though.

I feel like I've arrived.; 10:52 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Everyone should search craiglist today for free kittens and bring Harrison a whole box of them. I don't know what would happen, but I'm sure it would be hilarious (or terrible, but certainly interesting).; 10:53 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: btw, congrats to Norm for the non-descript Beasley post while I was at lunch. Just shameful. Think about it... the dude played only 3 years almost 4 decades age during teh 3 yards and a cloud of dust era. Yet he still holds numerous AU receiving records, including a commanding lead in yards and TD receptions. He deserves better, Norm.

Yes, Norm. I'm just kidding with you.; 10:54 AM
Harrison said...: Peter- it would be the best day of my wife's life if you brought her 1000 cats; 10:55 AM
Norm said...: THT - no disrespect was intended to you or the great Mr. Beasley. As you well know, I only really pay attention to the post count at certain points.; 10:57 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I won't be brining anything, or even showing up, but if the roving band of rogue hotties turns into a 1000 member stampede carrying a big box of kittens, your wife might need to get out of the way.; 10:57 AM
Harrison said...: my wife will probably be like the crazy cat lady from The Simpsons one day; 10:59 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: PF bringing the noise with "Kittens on Parade".; 11:04 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: that's quite alright, Norm. I'm going to send you a set of the finest night vision goggles to make it easier to keep track of the post numbers.; 11:07 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I still can't believe I'm going to a 5 pm wedding followed by dinner tomorrow. What on earth was I thinking?; 11:09 AM
cincytiger said...: That you love your wife.; 11:13 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: oh well, there is that.; 11:14 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: What's love got to do with it, got to do with it?; 11:15 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: those second hand emotions keep getting in the way ;-); 11:15 AM
Anonymous said...: There won't be much food at our tailgate this week. We're copying Cincy and just ordering pizza. Does anyone deliver?; 11:16 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: delivered? on gameday? to your tailgate? good luck with that one. It'll be there around 5:30.; 11:18 AM
Anonymous said...: I just thought I'd ask...sheesh.; 11:19 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I like it. Defensive tailgating by the Hotties!

Well, as long as Kristina keeps throwing out the beef tenderloin, lobster, shrimp cocktail, and free beer, the rest of y'all don't have anything to worry about.; 11:19 AM
Harrison said...: Luv, better off ordering today and pick them up before you head out there. We do that for wings and bbq sometimes; 11:21 AM
cincytiger said...: Well, Luv, we changed that up. We decided not to do pizza this week. So far we are having a Denver omelet, cinnamon bread and strawberry muffins for breakfast, then chicken tenders (no wings), veges & hummus, fruit, cowboy caviar & chips, deviled eggs, other snacks, Rice Krispee treats and homemade cookies. Not sure what else will show up.; 11:21 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Sheesh.; 11:22 AM
cincytiger said...: Luv,
Dominos comes around where we are tailgating and sells pizzas. We saw the guy about 3 or 4 times last week. He said we could call and tell them where we were and they would deliver if we didn't see someone in our area with pizzas.; 11:23 AM
Anonymous said...: Wow, Cincy and Kristina go all out!; 11:23 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison, you have some barbecue at the WVU game and I promise I'll stop by uninvited... if the temp is under 70. I'm not wandering all over tarnation getting drenched in sweat even for barbecue.; 11:23 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Well, there you go. Dominos to the rescue.; 11:24 AM
Anonymous said...: Cincy, thanks, but as PF so politely put it, how long would it take them to get it there?; 11:24 AM
Harrison said...: what is cowboy caviar??

THT- there will be a slow smoked boston butt for the wvu game. we did it last week and it was delicious; 11:25 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Luv - the Kristina menu is a figment of my imagination.; 11:25 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I don't care if you think I'm polite. It was polite to answer at all.; 11:25 AM
cincytiger said...: I don't know. The guy we saw had a heated container and was selling already prepared pizzas. $5 for a medium. He had all different kinds.; 11:26 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Pals, it's been fun. But if I want to leave here at 4 today, and I do, I must once again direct my attention to that disgusting activity known as work. I'll be back if/when I get caught up.

WARRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; 11:28 AM
Anonymous said...: LOL, Tar Heel! Those are my thoughts exactly! Yesterday, I was talking to my neighbor and the sweat was dripping off me and I was just standing there.; 11:28 AM
michael said...: That reminds me of the bible story where Jesus feeds the 5,000 with pizza out of a single Dominos heated bag.; 11:28 AM
Anonymous said...: Ummm, no the polite thing would have been to not say anything at all.; 11:29 AM
Harrison said...: the polite thing would be to bring Luv the pizza yourself PF. where are your manners?; 11:31 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: It's also polite to not be stupid,but I guess not everyone can pull that off.; 11:31 AM
Norm said...: PF - I must say I think that was uncalled for. Let's remain friendly.; 11:35 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I am not friendly.; 11:36 AM
FSJ said...: Not that anybody asked...but at the first FSJ party of the season....we are having pulled pork, Ribs, potato salad, BBQ Beans, & banana pudding.

All brought to you by the "Sweet Child O' Swine" Competition BBQ Team...; 11:36 AM
digger4au said...: FSJ will that be delivered to Auburn on time?; 11:37 AM
digger4au said...: It is a 3 hour drive one way and I don't have a ticket for the game but it might be worth it to just come and observe this week end.; 11:39 AM
Harrison said...: tickets should be of no concern. they are everywhere; 11:40 AM
digger4au said...: Can you get them at Jordan Hare before noon?; 11:41 AM
Unknown said...: I am not sure about this thunder and lightning thing. That is the nicknames that Clemson had for their backs. We should be original and come up with something new: salt and pepper, mustard and katchup, proton and neutron, bill and hillary, abbot and costello. There are a lot of options out there.; 11:44 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Football Gameday Hours

4 hours prior to kick off: Coliseum Ticket Office Open until 2 hours prior to game

2 hours prior to kick off: West Will Call Booth, Jordan-Hare Stadium

So,nope, not before noon.Lots of tickets for sale, though.; 11:44 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Bill and Hillary compliment one another?; 11:44 AM
Harrison said...: You can scalp one for half price. My brother hasn't paid full price for a ticket in like 5 years; 11:45 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: oh, was that what was being asked? Sorry, I'm all stupid.; 11:47 AM
digger4au said...: Thanks for the info may show up and see what is going on.; 11:47 AM
Unknown said...: The (Stuff)MyDadSays guote of the day: "I turn the kitchen faucet on and the shower burns you, yes, I get it...No, I'm not gonna stop, I'm just saying yes, I get that concept."; 11:48 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Steve every time in football history that there has been a small super fast back and a big bruising back on the same team they are given that nickname.

That wasn't exclusive to Clemson last year.; 11:51 AM
Unknown said...: Yea RK, but we should be more creative than that. How about chips and salsa?; 11:54 AM
mytommyd said...: Shrimp and Grits?; 11:57 AM
Unknown said...: Who, I like shrimp and grits. Shrimp fits FAH and grits works for Tate. I say go with shrimp and grits.; 11:59 AM
mytommyd said...: And they're tasty too; 11:59 AM
Unknown said...: Definitely. Shrimp and grits it is. Someone write that down. We must inform Jay.; 12:06 PM
mytommyd said...: doesn't look everyone else is as enthused about that one Steve; 12:14 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: "If you like fish & chips, and all that pimp **** everybody in the house say O-Yeah-Yeeerrrrr."; 12:15 PM
J. Kev said...: THT --

I'm disappointed in you. Who in the wide world of sports schedules a wedding for a football Saturday?

Answer: nobody, if they want people to show up. You should boycott to highlight their stupidity.; 12:17 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: J.Kev - I agree with you wholeheartedly. Maybe I'll wear the refrigerator magnet I almost bought for 2.0 yesterday: "I hate stupid people."

You must remember, these are ACC people, they are just wholly ignorant.; 12:26 PM
mytommyd said...: I've said it before J Kev, I told my future wife people would be SUPER po'd if I dare schedule a wedding on a gameday Saturday in the fall.; 12:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I like shrimp & grits, the food and the eponym; 12:28 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I've been in weddings on back to back UGA/UT weekends. Living in TN, it angered a lot of people. That game doesn't matter that much to me, but it coincided with Auburn/Vandy in 2007 and Auburn/Arkansas last year so I had to miss parts of both games and get all dressed up.; 12:29 PM
Unknown said...: Haven't these people heard of June brides? There is a reason for it. No sports, so we guys need something else to do.; 12:32 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I could have gotten out of it if I told MrsTHT that I was going to the game. But 3 consecutive weekend drives to AU might have gotten the best of me, so I am staying home this weekend. I have no doubt my angst will show. I hope I don't blurt out, "Just marry 'em *%^(&**)!!!!" as soon as the ceremony starts.; 12:33 PM
J. Kev said...: But RK, you DIDN'T have to miss any of those games. You are perfectly justified, as a Southern man, in telling such people to pound sand.

When my youngest sister got married, she and her husband (both Auburn alumni) scheduled it for a bye weekend. Why?

Because they wanted people to come.

Take a stand for all that is good, right and sacred. Boycott fall Saturday weddings.; 12:35 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 12:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: our company just scheduled a new employee welcome get together for SATURDAY evening Nov 7. Someone will have to work and miss the party

The boss asked me if I was going to be "social Mr/Mrs THT and attend or unsocial THT and volunteer to work".

I told him that I do NOT volunteer to work ANY Saturday during football season, but that I would send "holographic THT" to the party. He obviously is unaware that OK/Nebraska and LSU@UA-T are that weekend. AU's HC game will undoubtedly kick off at 2 pm ET, so that should be ok.; 12:40 PM
Aeronaut said...: If you are getting married on a football Saturday, you better do it in your team's stadium or something.; 12:41 PM
Aeronaut said...: This post has been removed by the author.; 12:43 PM
michael said...: A wedding of a good friend kept me from being in the stands during the '06 Georgia game. That is the only game I have missed due to a wedding.

On the Thunder and Lightning nickname: so who was the first tandem to be called that? I must admit Reggie Bush and Lendale White were the first tandem I heard called that. Who is the original?; 12:45 PM
chip chip said...: bammer ricky

i hope the link works. if not, go to you tube and look up ricky's rant.

it'll make you proud to be a cousin humper.

if it's already appeared here sorry. turn it up LOUD!!!; 12:45 PM
mytommyd said...: I just thought about something - should I have written "p'd o" instead of "po'd" in this world where we no longer say RBI's; 12:46 PM
Aeronaut said...: I'm bored.

Scott M. Brannan said...: i actually have a friend who is getting married the day of the UT/ALA & AU/LSU games here in knoxville, but get this, the time of their wedding is TBA.

if UT/BAMA is a 3:30 ET start, they are getting married at 2 followed by a tailgate/game watching party.

the UT game is in Tuscaloosa so they're good there. it was actually the fiance's idea. if you're going to do it in the fall that's the way to do it.; 1:00 PM
