Hey everyone. I'm trying to calm down after a Facebook barrage. People everywhere seem to be channeling their inner Joe McCarthy these days and it irritates me. I find that using the "hide" button helps me retain composure.This isn't a political blog, though, so enough of that.
I will create a separate thread for this, but be aware that it's CAMPFIRE DAY. We'll be holding two sessions -- one at 3 p.m. CDT and one five hours later. Please stand and sing.
Thanks for making this the hottest enclave on the entire World Wide Webz.
Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

TODAY'S SCHEDULE
Auburn will practice this afternoon, though I will not be there. Chizik isn't available. Players aren't available. Assistants aren't available. So that's that.
We WILL be holding a pair of campfires today. You read that correctly. Schedules are messy this time of year, so I'm hoping everyone who wants to participate can do so during AT LEAST one of our sessions. You're welcome to attend both.
Remember that this is not one of those stale q-and-a deals you may have seen in 1996. We do it LIVE here at the HABOTN. It's true interaction. I heart HOTTIE interaction.
Be there or be rectangular.®
Here's what the next few days look like:
Thu., Sept. 3, 4:30 p.m. (no media availability)
Fri., Sept. 4, OFF
Sat., Sept. 5, vs. Louisiana Tech, 6 p.m. CDT
Sun., Sept. 6, 6 p.m.
Mon., Sept. 7, OFF
Tue., Sept. 8, 4:30 p.m. (Chizik presser at 11:30 a.m. CDT)
Wed., Sept. 9, 4:30 p.m. (Wifey's birthday; Beatles Rock Band is released)

ReplyDeletewifey's birthday made the schedule. good idea.
ReplyDeletei asked my wife what she wanted for supper tonite and she said hot dogs. yup, it's football season. nice!
It's feedin' time!
ReplyDeletelast practice day... its real from here...
ReplyDeleteGoing for 1000 is best done on Gameday. You'll have your game thread where you'll get lots of posts, of course. But then Jay has to sit in traffic for a long time and can't add any new threads.
ReplyDeleteFYI, athlon sports has posted their 'sideline spirit' competition again this year. may i say the Oregon Ducks are lookin' strong.
ReplyDeleteWell we didn't make 1000 but we gave it one hellava try
ReplyDeleteK, you are evil for posting that!
ReplyDeleteJGT if you read all of this stuff you will go blind
ReplyDeleteJay, I like the today's story.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to help the hotties achieve their goals, Jay.
ReplyDeleteKristina's been fired up lately JG. must be game week. ;)
ReplyDeleteDang. I could almost taste it. But thanks for the encouraging words Kristina.
ReplyDeleteJGT - I'll just stand and lip sync. Believe me, it will be better that way.
ReplyDeleteOUT like a candle in a hurrican
ReplyDeleteCan't make the 3:00 but will try to be here for the 8:00
digger, I really am losing sight in my left eye. So ... you're right!
ReplyDeleteKristina - You so smart!!
ReplyDeletei fixed my wireless internet connection last nite so i should be good for tonite's campfire. however, mrs. scottie is even more excited i got the wireless internet to work so i'll have to fight her for the computer. we'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteProtect that one good eye
ReplyDeleteDON'T DO IT
try holding the book with your other hand
ReplyDeleteThe chorus director at my church always says, just before mass, "Please stand ... and sing."
ReplyDeleteI love it for some reason.
my dad leg singing (small church) when i was little. everybody would stop after each verse and he would tell them which to sing next.
ReplyDelete"On the first."
"On the fourth."
Not that I have ever tried to purposely annoy Jay by encouraging high comment counts.
ReplyDeleteAnd not that that is how I got promoted to Feeling the Heat for the first time.
I wish my dad could do leg singing. Sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteCudos to the chorus director. I am a "stand and sing kind" of person.
ReplyDelete"Nyet" to Face Book barrages!
War Eagle, Tigers!
led, not leg. leg singing would be pretty ausome, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a facebook barge? That's a boat I can get on.
ReplyDeletenyet to fb, barrages or otherwise
ReplyDeletecome on Hotties, let's get this thread to 1000 posts!!!
ReplyDeleteI can make fart noises with the back of my knee using my hand. I consider that leg singing. If a music minister did that at a church, it would become the most popular church in the world.
ReplyDeletei can only do "silent killers" with the back of my knee using my hand.
ReplyDeleteScottie B - perhaps he can explain why the third stanza was so often left out of the singing? Please?
ReplyDeleteor maybe the two events are unrelated.
ReplyDeleteExcellent article, Jay. I like how Chiz is showing players video of 2004 to show the team attitude more than anything else.
ReplyDeleteAs for two-a-day campfires, if I had knew it was coming I would have worked out more in preparation.
I prefer to not believe in politics. It is much more productive than not believing in Santa Claus.
