Here's some notable stuff discussed today:
- Defensive coordinator Ted Roof said freshman S Daren Bates will start against Mississippi State. That wasn't a one-time thing.
- Roof said he was happy with DE Nick Fairley's work against Louisiana Tech, but it was flawed. The Mobile native earned high marks for production. His assignment marks were much lower. He's still expected to start against MSU.
- CB Walt McFadden said he was worried after being flagged for pass interference during the Louisiana Tech game. McFadden watched coach Gene Chizik throw a tantrum along the sideline and assumed he was the target. He soon realized that Chizik felt officials were at fault.
``He ran at the referee and that's when I started saying: `Yeah, yeah, referee, take that.' But (Chizik) has my back. He spoke with me after the play, he even spoke to me today, he went over there and re-watched it and telling me it was just a good play -- a bad call -- but we've got to live with those plays sometimes." - Don't look for LB Josh Bynes to sign up for a Twitter account anytime soon. ``I don't even know what it is. I've been hearing about it, but I don't know what it is. What is a Twitter?"
Told that it's a way to speak to your peeps, Bynes said: ``I don't speak to the peeps. I just do my own stuff." - LB Adam Herring on the feeling along the sideline Saturday night: ``It was a sense of pride. We were taking pride in what we were doing at that point -- when we were realizing we were stoning them. It just felt good to know what we were doing. Eleven hats swarming to the ball, that's a sight."

Beat the Substance out of State!!! GO TIGERS!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the way Bynes thinks
ReplyDeletespeaking of Chiz's reaction, I loved the photo of him with both feet off the ground. Looked like a great tantrum!
ReplyDeleteI like that one also.
ReplyDeleteHe was mighty angry.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that ref who made that call a former Bama player?
ReplyDeleteA well-time tantrum is nice.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
Woot.
Love Adam's quote.
ReplyDeleteI love that intensity. And standing up for your players. I think that says a lot to them.
ReplyDeleterightfully so. Absolutely a ridiculously bad call.
ReplyDeleteKathy: Yes.
ReplyDeleteQuentin Riggins was very quick to make that assessment.
(I was listening to the live feed.)
Guess I am off to bed. Very early morning tomorrow. Or early by some people's standards - not THT's!
ReplyDeleteI speak to my peeps.
ReplyDeleteI like peeps at Easter.
ReplyDeleteThanks JGT. It was a terrible call.
ReplyDeleteDo you blow them up in the microwave?
ReplyDeleteI don't say peeps, but I I think that's a good call for a football player guy.
ReplyDeletepardon my stuttering
ReplyDeletepeter makes me nervous
THT, made mention of it last thread. if you'r craving Cabos, and in the Jacksonville area, they just opened up a place at the beach about a year ago. I've never been to the one in talley, but the Jax store was mighty fine.
ReplyDeleteCincy,
ReplyDeleteYou got me going on the last thread with your game, I ain't taking the bait on the microwave.
Good night cincy! I probably should get some sleep too. I have to give MrsTHT a ride to work and she has to be there by 5 a.m. EDT
ReplyDeleteGood night, Hotties!
that child is terrified of something.
ReplyDeleteNight THT.
ReplyDeletehahaha you hush
ReplyDeleteIV,
ReplyDeleteHaven't you ever put peeps in the microwave and watched them expand hugely and then collapse when you take them out? What kind of sheltered life have you led?
Are you still in Auburn Jay?
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to make a video tonight, but there will be a twist.
ReplyDeleteI won't debut it until tomorrow morning. We don't get many visitors from 10 p.m.-5 a.m.
So I'll load it and set it for a 5 a.m. debut. Aiight?
aight
ReplyDeleteI am in Auburn currently and will remain here for at least another hour.
ReplyDeleteThen I have to be back for the 11:30 a.m. presser. I guess that means no morning workout!
Wow, I must have. Do they play your game in prisons alot?
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I'm having second thoughts about the video.
ReplyDeleteSince we'll be LIVE BLOGGING at 11:30 a.m., I'd hate for the video to be available for only six hours.
Hmmmm.
LET ME OFF THIS ROLLER COASTER!
ReplyDeleteIV,
ReplyDeleteI really have led a very sheltered life. Thankfully I have never seen a jail or a prison. Not sure if they play cornhole or explode peeps in the microwave in prison. Don't think I want to find out.
Cincy,
ReplyDeleteYou are cracking me up, I mean cracking me up.
Glad to be useful for something.
ReplyDeleteJ-Z,
ReplyDeleteCan you hear me laughing over on your side of town?
Late night vid, Jay! Do it!
ReplyDeleteCincy,
ReplyDeleteI love you, just love you.
Love you, too, IV. Now I am off to bed to dream about my new orange and blue cornhole bags. :)
ReplyDeleteMolly dog has been out; I might as well watch the end of the game.
ReplyDeleteNext Monday when I am incarcerated, I can assure you that I will not be asking anyone where I can find a good game of cornhole.
wow! what a throw
ReplyDeleteBless you THT.
ReplyDeleteComplete or incomplete THT?
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna call it complete
ReplyDeletecomplete
ReplyDeletegood call, michael
ReplyDeleteplenty of time
ReplyDeleteThey should make me a replay ref.
ReplyDeleteGo to bed Cincy.
ReplyDeleteEveryone here is going for the noles, right?
ReplyDeleteI am like J-Z, can they both lose?
ReplyDeleteI strongly dislike FSU. Hate is reserved for Bama and Florida.
ReplyDeleteAnnouncers keep talking about how the missed extra point has had a profound effect on the game... but they went for two later and got it. It has no effect on the current score.
ReplyDeleteI don't like either team here, but I'd prefer FSU to lose.
ReplyDeletePF, and enemy of Florida and Miami should be a friend to you.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Tallahassee when I was young and grew up an FSU fan. They were my first true love.
they don't know what they are talking about.
ReplyDeleteI really don't care who wins.
Is this team going to be doing SEC games this year? I would hate to miss out on Todd's Taste of the Town. Something so creepy about it when Todd takes that bite and makes that face.
ReplyDeleteI want the ranked team to lose.
ReplyDeleteMichael - JGT is pulling for UM
ReplyDeleteWell Jay G can go kiss Jan Terri for all I care.
ReplyDelete30 sec wasted
ReplyDeleteTalley is weird. The students are weird. Bowden is annoying. The program is as corrupt as any, and the players are almost as thug as the U's were in the 90s. Nope. No love for FSU here. Oh, and I don't care for Doak Campbell Stadium, either.
ReplyDeletebut, they are less vile than florida. I guess most of the time i'm apathetic towards them.
Brad Nessler is a huge upgrade from Mike Patrick for Todd Blackledge.
ReplyDeleteI grew up a FSU fan also... I don't have a good feeling right now.
ReplyDeleteMiami would be wise to never do pass interference in the end zone again. Remember the Ohio State game?
ReplyDelete"i'm not sure that makes much of a difference"
ReplyDelete???????? What an idiot. I don't care for Nessler AT ALL.
This has turned out to be a pretty doggone good game...
ReplyDeleteHe's no genius, but he is still a step up from patrick
ReplyDeleteHow do you have 7 tries from inside the 5 and fail?
ReplyDeletegame would have been over by now without the interference call. OF COURSE IT MADE A DIFFERENCE! FSU has run 3 more plays they wouldn't have had.
ReplyDelete...and still lost
Have to review that
ReplyDeletedamnit!
ReplyDeleteThe end of that series was an abortion. What in the world.
ReplyDeleteRight call, damn't
ReplyDeleteNO DROPS!
ReplyDeletePut 1 second on the board and let em have another chance...
ReplyDeleteSEVEN TRIES! You deserve to lose if you can't get the ball less than 5 yards in 7 tries.
ReplyDeleteThere was 1 second left in my opinion. Time did not expire. Refs must be Miami grads.
ReplyDeleteShould be 1 more play... but FSU doesn't deserve another chance, that was pathetic
ReplyDeleteVery close to my first r rated HABOTN post. I've cooled though. It's cool.
ReplyDeletemy condolences, Michael.
ReplyDelete"Bad funny bone incident"
ReplyDeleteso it was an incident. That's funny. There was an incident. It included a funny bone. It was bad
Nice interview by the victim Erin Andrews. So victimized she decides to go on Oprah a month later to remind everyone of the incident, which had been forgotten about, which involved a video she didn't want anyone to see.
oh, was it only six tries? my bad.
ReplyDeletethe ACC plays slow football with bad defense...some of the passing was pretty, though.
ReplyDeleteI think AU could take either one of those teams tonight.
ReplyDeleteI dunno PF. Miami and FSU have been putting a lot more defenders in the NFL than offensive players the past few years. But this year looks like it will be different.
ReplyDeleteI think AU, FSU, and Miami are all around the same strata... probably between ranked between 20-25 or so.
ReplyDeleteOf course, this is based on evidence from the La Tech game.
BEASLEY!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't mention the past or the NFL. What are you babbling about?
ReplyDeleteSorry Latin majors for using "strata" instead of "stratum". It's a blog comment, lay off me.
ReplyDeletethe FSU receiver tried to catch the ball with his facemask. Did Greg Knox go to FSU instead of Miss?
ReplyDeleteso, does Miami make it through four straight games vs top 25 opponents?
ReplyDeleteok, I've got to take MrsTHT to work in 4.5 hours. Good night Hotties. Enjoy the late night video.
ReplyDeleteG'night Hotties.
ReplyDelete"the ACC plays slow football with bad defense"
ReplyDeleteSeems like that was a reaction to the teams tonight, which historically play good defense, so maybe the offenses were just that good and your summary was wholly invalid, peter frankenbummer. Even in their slumps as of late, I wouldn't call it "slow football" at these two schools, just bad football. Bad football played by fast people.
Past that, the ACC doesn't really have an identity to me like the Big 12, Big 10, or Pac 10. Lots of different identities, lots of mediocrity.
Where's my darn video? Jay, I don't really want you kissing Jan Terri, that was just a joke.
ReplyDelete"...when we were realizing we were stoning them. It just felt good to know what we were doing. Eleven hats swarming to the ball, that's a sight."
ReplyDeletePlease tell me Mr. Herring gets the quote spot for that beauty.
The video is uploading.
ReplyDeleteIt will be live around ... uh ... let's call it 11:37 p.m. CDT.
I'm working on my AP poll.
ReplyDeleteIt's due in the morning.
1. Florida
2. Texas
3. Southern Cal
4. Penn State
5. Alabama
6. Oklahoma State
7. Ohio State
8. Ole Miss
9. Cal
10. BYU
11. Oklahoma
12. Pittsburgh
13. Boise State
14. Virginia Tech
15. LSU
16. TCU
17. North Carolina
18. Georgia
19. Georgia Tech
20. Utah
21. Nebraska
22. Miami
23. Rutgers
24. Iowa
25. Notre Dame
Your feedback means a lot.
ReplyDeleteRutgers?
ReplyDeleteNotre Dame should be higher.
ReplyDeleteRutgers shouldn't be there at all. Cincinnati should be in the Top 25.
I agree with sensi... Rutgers got Routed... replace with Cincy and the list looks good.
ReplyDeleteI might even switch Boise and Oklahoma.
I agree, swat Rutgers out with Cincy and move Boise ahead of OK. Without Bradford, OK is not a powerful team.
