First Post: Thursday of Week Four

Hey everyone. Looks like more rain is on its way to central Alabama, which means the Tigers could be looking at another wet weekend. So it goes.

I was just watching a replay of the Ball State @ Army game from last week. The winless Cardinals didn't look all that bad to me, but I suppose you have to consider the level of competition. Maybe my 95-7 prediction for this weekend's game is a bit off.

Just joshin'. My real pick is Auburn 63, Ball State 10.

Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

TODAY'S SCHEDULE
Could be a fun night. I'll be LIVE BLOGGIN' for your NOGGIN tonight during coach Gene Chizik's appearance on Tiger Talk. Maybe we could start awarding a special award for the most inane question asked of Chizik each week.

We'll also be chattin' it up during the Ole Miss @ South Carolina game. Sounds like fun to me. I hope you feel the same way.

Here's what the next few days look like. All times are CDT:

Thu., Sept. 24, 4:30 p.m. (Tiger Talk at 7 p.m.)
Fri., Sept. 25, OFF

IV said...: O yeah and yo momma too.; 3:31 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: However, Toot's Restaurant in Murfreesboro does have really good fried dill pickles, so it could be worth the trip. Maybe we'll just alter the trip to Learjet, direct route, and just you, me, and j-z. That's assuming j-z's probation allows him to fly / cross state lines.; 3:31 PM

IV said...: There is nothing legit about J-Z.; 3:34 PM
JD said...: I was talking about the total package THT. Although I will be doing some serious hatin' tonight; 3:38 PM
Quitstina said...: See...this is much better. Nothing a good page turn couldn't fix. Thank you!; 3:39 PM
JD said...: The inner zoo keeper came out on the previous page.; 3:39 PM
IV said...: You are so mean to us Momma.; 3:40 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: That's not true. J-Z is a completely legitimate goofball.

Scottie B. - wish I could make the Knoxville trip. My daughter has a gymnastics meet on 10/4. We have to report to the 7th level of Hell at 7:45 that morning. (Yes, the meet is in Tusuckaloosa).; 3:42 PM
Quitstina said...: It only happens occasionally, JD.

IV, that's enough backtalking outta you.; 3:42 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: sorry Choc. it should be a good time.; 3:48 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: HELLLLLLOOOOOOO Hotties!

Scott M. Brannan said...: it is puppet hour now. so....they'll be here soon.; 4:00 PM

IV said...: Howdy 2.0, what's happenin'?; 4:02 PM
michael said...: hey, it's Puppet Hour. ah.; 4:03 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: According to the Coldplay fan page on FB, Coldplay as been turned into puppets.

"The Coldplay-shaped puppets continue their tour of London, with a nice sit down in Trafalgar Square"

A truly devastating day in the music industry.; 4:03 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Wait a minute...I thought Coldplay were already puppets.; 4:05 PM
Anonymous said...: I beg to differ. There's nothing about the end of Coldplay that would be bad.

I've tried, on three separate occasions, to get in to Coldplay and it just doesn't take.

Sorry, I like it better when U2 and Radiohead were different bands.; 4:05 PM

Aeronaut said...: 2.0

I gained 3 lbs in a week in Italy. Got out of there before I turned into Big Red. yum!

I want to go there this December, and eat, drink, and get married (or was that be merry?); 4:07 PM
JD said...: Agree Sensi the new album is outstanding. However, I wish ESPN would lose the tracks that they keep dropping all Saturday long.; 4:08 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: Ciao IV!!

I'm living la dolce vita. There were 10 Ferraris parked on the street outside of my school today, not a bad day.

I'm happy I finally made it to Puppet Hour. Kudos to Aero for mastering the time difference.; 4:08 PM
JD said...: Speaking of puppets Kirk Herbstreet is on Finescum right now. Wow that is a lot of puppets...; 4:09 PM
E-Bro said...: I hate my a$$ off in Italy, but I was actually able to counter that with all the walking I did. Same goes for the rest of Europe for that matter. When I lived in London for three months, I went over there weighing 195 and came back home weighing 175. True story.; 4:09 PM
IV said...: When you get close to a Ferrari, it is going to be a good day 2.0.; 4:10 PM
Unknown said...: Man, I have been in Toot's in Murfreesboro a couple of times and never did the pickle. What was I thinking?; 4:12 PM
IV said...: There you go Scott C.; 4:13 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: E's Bro - glad you were able to keep hating while in Italy. Not easy to do (except for the drivers).; 4:13 PM
Unknown said...: Visiting England was great, but the best food there was something I got from a pizza joint. There is a reason the British empire once extended around the world. They were looking for decent cooks.; 4:14 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: You can get excellent food at a gas station in Italy. I'm not even kidding one bit.; 4:15 PM
Unknown said...: Man, I really wish I had gotten to Italy. Never been there, but had plans to go at one point. I was in England for about a week, but had meetings almost every day.; 4:18 PM
E-Bro said...: Sorry, my last post should have started with ate, not hate. The "h" was silent. I ate my a$$ off. Great pasta everynight. Some margarita pizza for lunch. La dolce vita indeed. Good times.; 4:18 PM
E-Bro said...: London is suppose to be taking over Paris as the culinary capital of the world, but obviously it's not b/c of English cuisine. London is basically a pantheon for the world's food, but I guess any big city is.; 4:20 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: EB - I knew what you meant. I was just picking on you, especially since this is the epicenter of hate (but only that which is directed at UAT).

2.0 - what city are you in?; 4:20 PM
E-Bro said...: Fish n chips is good, though.; 4:20 PM
Aeronaut said...: 2.0, my job requires me to be up late at nights, monitoring. So .. and I've been here for 16 months.
---------

This weekend I've to go for another installation, and I don't think I'll be able to vpn back home so .. no ball state / habotn for Aero this Saturday.

dadgumit.; 4:21 PM
E-Bro said...: Thanks SC, I figured, but the OCD person in me had to correct the mistake personally.; 4:21 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: Scott C- I'm in Florence.; 4:22 PM
Unknown said...: I wish I had more time to spend in London. I was only there for parts of a few days. I was in a little city called Horsham the rest of the time. I did like the British rail system. We walked or road the train wherever we went. It was a trip to be riding on a train and see a castle or castle ruins along the way. It was just incredible. We talked to a lady who's home was built in the 1700s. Everyone here that has a home that was build in the 1700s, please raise your hands.; 4:23 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Ah, Florence - site of the worst driving experience of my life! I had this big plan to circle the outskirts of the city and drive directly to my hotel. Instead, I took a wrong turn and ended up in the middle of the city during rush hour (in pre-GPS days). I think there was some divine intervention that finally got us to the hotel. I was about ready to abandon the car.; 4:25 PM
E-Bro said...: Ah, Florence...; 4:26 PM
E-Bro said...: I love Europe's rail system in general. Wish we had something as extensive in the US. Nothing beats a good train ride in Europe.; 4:27 PM
THT 2.0, G.G. said...: THT is busy at work but sends his greetings.; 4:30 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Does that mean you " ate" my punctuation, EB? (The "h" is invisible).; 4:32 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: "English? Who needs that? I'm never going to England. Let's go smoke."

Homer Simpson; 4:39 PM

THT 2.0, G.G. said...: Okay Hotties- It's been fun. I've missed y'all. but i've about used up my monthly internet allowance tonight. A dopo tutti.; 4:51 PM
E-Bro said...: Ciao; 4:56 PM
Fearless Freep said...: And with that, another Puppet Hour came to an end.; 4:59 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: End of puppet hour does not have to = death of thread. Hellooooo! We must fill the time between now and the triple-scoop of Tiger Talk, JGT blogging, and the ESPN football game. (Note that I just said "triple-scoop" to get THT sucked back in).; 5:17 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: The only reason to sit during a game is to fill your diet coke with bourbon so the usher/cop doesn't see you. If everyone would stand, even that wouldn't be a problem.; 5:20 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Scottie,

2:46. Bad Form.

IV,

You're my hero. Don't forget it, old geezer.; 5:24 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I almost hit a ferrari in a parking deck last week. It was illegally parked on the end (you know, where they have those diagonal yellow lines) and partially sticking out into the lane. I came around the corner and skreeaaacchh (not really, I was going 5mph, more like pshshhh). I looked at it, muttered something derogatory under my breath and drove away. I shoulda nailed it but couldn't bring myself to purposefully damage such a beautiful car, whether the owner deserved it or not.; 5:30 PM

Unknown said...: The only reason I don't visit Europe is there are too many foreigners over there. I tried to learn Italian, but it doesn't come off well with a redneck accent.

I assume you mean the traffic in Florence, Italy rather than the intellectual center known as Florence, Alabama.; 5:31 PM

Jay G. Tate said...: Thursday Night LIVE has been preloaded for 7 p.m. CDT.

I may be a few minutes late, just enough to miss Rod Bramblett shill for the AUHCC, but will be here for the real stuff.

There is a school function going on that I cannot miss.; 5:37 PM
Miller said...: You heard it here first... Tomorrow's headline, Today:

"Cocks Bust a Nutt."

or

"Spurrier, Cocks Bust a Nutt."

Something to that affect...; 5:40 PM
Anonymous said...: Who are you all pulling for in this game tonight?; 5:43 PM
Miller said...: Sensi...

Cocks... A win by them helps out the SEC-W race.; 5:44 PM
IV said...: Snacks,

Bout time I was somebody's hero. And I love being an old geezer. It beats the hell out of the alternative.; 5:47 PM
E-Bro said...: South Carolina if I had to choose and because I picked them, but mainly just want to see a good game, which it should be.; 5:47 PM
Unknown said...: It is hard to pull for anyone in this game because there are two of my favorite coaches to watch on the sidelines.

When we use to play Spurrier's Gators, I thought there should be something in the box score that listed the number of times he threw his visor.

As for Nutt, he has the most wonderful paniced expressions in college football. He is somewhere between Jack Nicholson in The Shining and reverend Ernest Angley, He is special.; 5:58 PM
Unknown said...: I suppose I must pull for the Cocks, no matter how strange that might sound. Ole Nutt is in the west and a loss by them helps our chances of being in the top half of the SEC West. Besides, I live in Columbia, SC; so it is probably the politically correct thing to do.; 6:00 PM
FSJ said...: What up peeps?

I had a flat tire today on the way home from work..

Fourth or Fifth one in 18 months..

I may switch away from Goodyear tires.

And yes..I rotate them regularly...

I do drive 120 miles a day round trip...but still.; 6:03 PM
auforme said...: I think, as crazy as Nutt is, I'm going to have to pull for Ole Miss. The better they look, the better we will look in a few weeks when we beat them.; 6:08 PM
FSJ said...: I'm pulling for Spurrier tonight...; 6:10 PM
Fearless Freep said...: I had the good fortune to be amongst the 40 thousand witnesses to the dismantling of Spurrier's 1992 Gator squad get by King Jackie and MSU in Stark Vegas.

As the game got out of hand in the 2nd half, I stopped watching the game and concentrated on the Ole Ball Coach. If you've never had the opportunity to see him when his team is getting blown out, he goes into this peculiar shell on the sidelines (this is long after he's given up on throwing his visor). He spoke to no one, and no one spoke to him. He usually wasn't even paying attention to the field, but will become immensely interested in staring off into space, or at the ground. At one point he picked up a loose blade of grass and inspected it intently.

I always assumed back then that he was already thinking about his next opponent. Now, a decade and a half later, I'll bet when he's losing big like that he's thinking about retirement.; 6:12 PM
Unknown said...: Tonight's game is brough to you by Terry Price, who Ole Nutt received in a trade for Tracy Rocker. I think we did okay on that deal.; 6:27 PM
atlantatiger said...: is there a cmpfire tonight?; 6:36 PM
