Other observations

Here's a list of some stuff that didn't fit elsewhere:

Auburn-Ball State television information:
- Live:
  FOX Sports Midwest
  FOX Sports South
  FOX Sports Southwest
  FOX Sports Houston
- On delay:
  FOX Sports Arizona (9/28 @ 6:30 p.m. PT)
  FOX Sports West (9/26 @ 11:15 p.m. PT)
NEW DE Hot Carter said tonight that he expects to play this weekend against Ball State.
NEW DT Mike Blanc said he played sparingly against Louisiana Tech because he was being disciplined for tardiness. That was the night Nick Fairley started.
Gene Chizik has gone out of his way to make Auburn hospitable to NFL scouts. I see them much more often these days. Moments ago, I saw a gaggle of scouts rolling through the lobby. They represented the Raiders, Chargers, Chiefs and Bills.
Remember how Trooper Taylor always said Tim Hawthorne can't make the club in the tub? He apparently told No. 13 the same thing to his face. ``(I) probably thought about
tatting it on my forearm just to remind me."
Hawthorne described Anthony Gulley as "the countriest guy I know."
Ben Tate on why Auburn has outscored opponents 66-19 in the second half: ``I think it has to do with the pace of our offense. The defense has to start wearing down in the second half. That's when you start piling on the rushing yards, passing yards, whatever. The blocking gets a little easier for the offensive linemen, and that's when things start to happen."

ehyou said...: Never admit luck Hornet, it's always skill.; 2:17 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: nothing wrong with "Country" Gulley.; 2:17 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: To answer Comm'r from the last thread:

I don't see Chizik getting looser in terms of accessibility. This is how he is and this is how he's going to be.

I think he'll become more personable as time goes on. He's improved in the 10 months he's been here.; 2:19 PM
Hornet said...: Who's the countriest blogger on the HABOTN?; 2:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ain't me, but I'll lay claim to dullest.; 2:20 PM
digger4au said...: Got caught on the other blog but not worth repeating.; 2:21 PM
Unknown said...: Gulley may be country, but he is cool. Man, I love the vibes from this team, including the coaches.; 2:21 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: We're all country, peeps.; 2:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: NO TUBS!; 2:22 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Who got caught on the other blog, digger?; 2:22 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Thanks Jay. I won't look for Chiz to start break dancin' at any pressers any time soon.; 2:22 PM
Hornet said...: anybody want North End Zone tickets for this weekend? I've got extra; 2:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: that was purely in reference to Tim Hawthorne's comments; you needn't read anything else into it.; 2:23 PM
digger4au said...: Jay I was talking about the other thread, sorry; 2:24 PM
mytommyd said...: How do I get in touch with you Hornet? I think I may need to go again.; 2:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JayGT - Fox Sports Carolinas will be showing AU vs that "good football team" LIVE on Saturday, also.; 2:27 PM
Hornet said...: mytommyd - I emailed you; 2:28 PM
Jet said...: We know Gulley's a little bit country. Let's hope that he's a little bit rock 'n' roll, too.; 2:33 PM
Nooj4AU(qualify tyrick!) said...: WHEN WILL BENTON CATCH A PASS?

It is starting to get on my nerves...Darvin has impressed me but, really, Benton has by far the most "potential" and the most talent of any WR on our team.

Trooper says he must earn it. I say Troop is saving him for some unsuspecting CBs in the meat of te season.; 2:34 PM
mytommyd said...: I'd like to see Tyrik play a little bit, too. Cause that means we're winning big time.; 2:36 PM
Harrison said...: Hornet- awesome Kris Kros avatar. I had that tape and the SanFran starter jersey. And yes i did wear it backwards; 2:37 PM
Seanzie said...: Has anyone noticed that Mazlahn is most likely to run the reverse in the first drive of the game? I wonder if this is his way of saying yeah, you better make sure you watch that guy.; 2:40 PM
Hornet said...: Harrison - I got "Totally Crossed Out" and "Ropin' the Wind" for Christmas in 8th grade. This was back when CDs came in a big cardboard box.; 2:40 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: NOOJ.

Welcome back.

Tyrik is not going to play this season. Sorry to break hearts.

xoxoxoxox; 2:45 PM
mytommyd said...: It's funny, sometimes I start writing a thought, and then think to myself, why in the world would you post that?

Kinda like this post.; 2:51 PM
ehyou said...: Who didn't get the Kris Kross & Garth Brooks combo gift?; 2:51 PM
AUColonel said...: I have decided that I really like Trooper Taylor and Gulley.; 2:52 PM
Suntiger said...: I'm confused about something. I was at the game Saturday night and Auburn's "quick" offense seemed slow to me. According to the stats, WVA ran 80 plays to AUs 74. How can Ben Tate say we're tiring the other team's defense out?; 2:52 PM
ehyou said...: mytd...
Dude, you post what we all think. Eerie.; 2:52 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: cd's in cardboard boxes were the shizzle. i had 4-5 Garth Brooks' boxes in storage. i was so cool. apparently were were too Hornet.; 2:52 PM
mytommyd said...: Eddie how are you taking this whole "Tyrik not playing" thing?; 2:53 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: suntiger, 1 word : TEMPO.

wears it out yo.; 2:53 PM
Matt said...: Anyone think SC has a chance against Ole Miss on Thursday?; 2:54 PM
Suntiger said...: That's what I'm talking about. There didn't seem to be a fast tempo Saturday. Maybe in the other games, but it was missing against WVA.; 2:54 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: tommyd, you should see Eddie in person. he's developed this nervous 'Tyrick Twitch'. you can't hear it in his voice, but he's strugglin'!; 2:54 PM
James in Auburn said...: About a month ago I refused to drink the Auburn Kool-Aid. The left side of my brain couldn't make the idea of a successful season work logically and the right side of my brain quite working a long time ago...

So for weeks now I've been sitting here staring at the pitcher of Kool-Aid in front of me... refusing to take a drink, pushing it farther and farther away...

Saturday night I drink the whole damn thing.

Apparently I owe Mr. Todd an apology and a very big one at that. Maybe now that my move is complete I'll have the chance to see him around town and do it in person.

Crow taste pretty bad, but the Kool-Aid is making it go down a lot easier...; 2:56 PM
mytommyd said...: A thought - Our offensive strategy has a LOT to do with tempo. For opposing teams to prepare for us, they will have to practice against this tempo. So either their practice teams can emulate that speed and possibly wear them out before the game OR they can't get to that speed and not be able to keep up later in the game because of that speed.; 2:57 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Warm it up, Chris.

I'm about to.

Warm it up, Chris.

That's what I was born to do.; 2:57 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: James, since you're in Auburn now and not B'ham, you're officially responsible for all HABOTN refreshments on gamedays.

what, you didn't know this? sure you didn't.; 2:58 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Welcome, Suntiger.

Welcome back, Stan.; 2:59 PM
Dadof3Girls said...: Tempo - Fast - Slow
Just WIN Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; 3:00 PM
Suntiger said...: Thanks, Jay. First Auburn game I've been able to attend in a couple of years and I nearly drowned! But it was worth every raindrop!!!!; 3:00 PM
E-Bro said...: I think SC has a real good shot at Ole Piss on Thursday.; 3:00 PM
Jet said...: As for Gulley, I think he's misunderstood.

He's from Brantley. You kids remember the song.

"They say the neon lights are bright in Brantley ... (In Brantley) ... They say there's always magic in the air."; 3:00 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Suntiger, i agree with you about saturday nite, but that's what Ben's talking about. they're still only 3 games into this new offense. it'll get there. what was really ugly to me on saturday nite was when they slowed the pace down to run the clock in the final minutes. i think that resulted in a big 3 and out.; 3:00 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Jet, every time i look at your avatar i swear it looks like a flaming alligator wearing sunglasses.

random. sorry.; 3:02 PM
ehyou said...: JGT is the Mack Daddy....or is it Daddy Mack.; 3:03 PM
James in Auburn said...: Scottie,

Putting me in charge of refreshments, at least of the adult liquid variety, would very much be putting the fox in charge of the hen house.; 3:04 PM
Ephemeral said...: Gulley seems to be a nice kid--country or not. Humility makes you work hard.; 3:05 PM
mytommyd said...: I see the flaming gator.

I also need someone to explain the whole couch burning thing, I think I must have missed that.; 3:06 PM
Anonymous said...: Aero..Sensi..JGT....just to set the record straight. I'm a full believer in coachspeak and most proper coachspeak is boring.

My attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor was meant to be a swipe at AU fans that make fun of boring coachspeak.

Another lame attempt on my part at putting that type of humor in writing.; 3:08 PM
michael said...: Yeah, I thought of coming to your defense Hoopie since you are the biggest proponent here of the idea that many average fans are emotional and stupid and the coach should understand anything he says can be used against him strategically or motivationally, but then I got distracted and hey there is a fly in my cubicle that is driving me crazy!; 3:11 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: tommyd, WVA fans are infamous for burning couches after big football victories. thus, 'save the couches'.

here's a sample:

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_397283.html; 3:15 PM
Harrison said...: Hoopie- mu humor doesn't come across well on paper either cause you can't hear the fart noises; 3:16 PM
Harrison said...: i also can't type worth a fart; 3:17 PM
wtc said...: AU offense was a little slow this past weekend, and didn't run as many plays, but if you recall, the defense returned an interception for a TD, which kept the O off the field and put WVU back on the field. AU also had a few too many 3-outs while WVU converted 66% of 3rd down tries.; 3:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Ol' Miss will score. How much they score depends on the schizo SC defense. Ol Miss should look at the UGA offensive game plan for clues.

Well it finally quit raining so Coach Superior will probably hit the golf course and not have a good offensive plan. He's milking that deal.; 3:19 PM
michael said...: how much is a fart worth, Harrison?; 3:20 PM
mytommyd said...: Scottie, I'm not sure how to respond other than the line, "You were serious about dat?!?!" I now know what it feels like to be dumbfounded

From the link:
West Virginia has always been a rowdy school, but this week, our couches should be safe," Wilson said.

Wilson said the problem was blown out of proportion by the media. Many of the students burning couches aren't even from Morgantown.
"But that's the image we have now," he said.

"I think we're moving forward on this problem, but it's something that takes time,"

Unbelievable, I had no idea. I thought it was just one of those fun hillbilly/mountain folk jokes.; 3:23 PM
IV said...: Jet,

Who's couches do the WV fans burn after big victories, their own or their neighbors or ???; 3:25 PM
Anonymous said...: Do they make Phart Emoticons?; 3:25 PM
IV said...: Sorry, Make that Scottie and whose.; 3:26 PM
Harrison said...: Some say they are priceless Michael; 3:27 PM
michael said...: Harrison, some do say that. Others say $3.75. I tend to believe that.; 3:29 PM
Harrison said...: well then. I would like to purchase all of your farts in advance; 3:29 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i think they burned whatever they could find in the streets or cheap student couches. it's a pretty amazing deal. i would love to get my hands on the t-shirt that says:

Where Greatness is Learned and Couches are Burned"

i had a few couches in my AU tenure that no one would've missed if they had went ablaze.; 3:31 PM
michael said...: At $3.75, the Sultan of Dubai does not have enough money to buy all my remaining farts.

THT, do the math on how many farts that is.; 3:31 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I'm just going to quit my job and collect $3.75 a fart. Do they still count if you're sleeping?; 3:31 PM
Anonymous said...: Michael....sigh....I go a couple of months without a fanbashing diatribe and they forget who I am....however Capt. Thighmaster remembers... well...unless a fly starts buzzing around.; 3:31 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Given that the equation has 2 unknowns, the best I can come up with is $3.75x; 3:32 PM
Anonymous said...: NEVER..light a fart while naked....jus sayin'; 3:32 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: unless, of course, you know the Sultan's checking account balance and didn't want to share that info...; 3:33 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: How much can one multiply one's fart income if using a Thighmaster?; 3:34 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: answer = 999,999,999,989,999,999,999 farts remaining.; 3:34 PM
mytommyd said...: If you need

Farticon; 3:34 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Puppet Hour is starting early today!; 3:35 PM
Harrison said...: a lot, the combination of straining and stronger thigh and butt muscles grreatly increases your farts' earning potential. That's what Suzanna Sommers says in that comemrcial; 3:36 PM
michael said...: THT - I was hoping you would find a website estimating the sultan's worth. Just wanted you to do a little leg work, that's all!; 3:36 PM
michael said...: Suzanne Summers knows a thing or two about farts. Patrick Duffy tells all in the part of his autobiography about those stanky Step by Step years.; 3:38 PM
Aeronaut said...: Hoop, I wasn't responding to your comment. I think I've read your opinion / approval of coachspeak in earlier threads.

I was just expressing my opinion on it, and the paul finebum stuff. It's not in response to anyone in particular.; 3:39 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: So you're saying larger, more powerful farts are worth more? Is a dutch oven kind of like a savings account? Or is it more like a pyramid scheme?; 3:39 PM
mytommyd said...: And for those that don't believe:

Mythbusters; 3:39 PM
IV said...: What has more value, one of Michael's fart or Paul Finebomb?; 3:40 PM
michael said...: Beasley amidst the farts.; 3:41 PM
Harrison said...: scott choc- they are in my view. But Michael sees them as worth all the same. what was the point of the thighmaster than anyway??; 3:41 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: let's see... buy an old map or buy a fart. Wow, that's a toughie.; 3:43 PM
Harrison said...: i like how all the fart talk is under the heading "Other observations."; 3:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Do farts appreciate or depreciate in value over time. Are they an investment vehicle?; 3:43 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Do we have any type of indoor practice facility, I feel like an idiot for not knowing this...; 3:44 PM
Aeronaut said...: I posted this on another forum. I didn't spend too much time on stat sheets but after a cursory glance these are the numbers I came up with:

Noel Devine:

First quarter. 90 yards on 4 carries. .. 22.5 yards / carry.
quarter 2, 3 and 4: 38 yards on 11 carries. 3.5 yards / carry.

Jarrett Brown:

First quarter: 41 yards on 5 carries .. 8 yards / carry.

quarter 2, 3, 4: 25 yards on 14 carries .. 1.8 yards / carry.

One hell of defensive adjustment after 1st quarter I'd say.; 3:45 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: More importantly, jhag, you know who that receiver for UGA is.; 3:47 PM
mytommyd said...: It could have also been a lag from a 1 hour delay Aero. Regardless, they took care of business.; 3:48 PM
Aeronaut said...: As far as I know there's a half-size indoor practice facility.; 3:49 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Aero, that's true. I was just messing with jhag.; 3:50 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Half-size indoor, yes. A halfie.

Aero: You post on other boards? I feel like you're two-timing me.; 3:52 PM
IV said...: Jay G. don't like him no two timers.; 3:53 PM
ehyou said...: FYI - Nerds burn couches too.

I was a freshman at Tech in '92. When the Braves won the pennant, a mob of students started a fire in the middle of the intersection of Techwood and Bobby Dodd. There were several couches involved.

Fun times.; 3:54 PM
Aeronaut said...: I know you were, scott. I am not sure of the size that's why I said 'as far as I know'.

what the .. why is everyone getting defensive? Am I bullying people?; 3:54 PM
ehyou said...: Aero mentioned Andy Bitter earlier too, so he's probably three timing us.; 3:56 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Huh? Who's being defensive? I was trying to poke a little fun at the jhag/Hoopie dust-up from previously. At least I think that's who was involved. The only ones who need to get defensive are AU's defensive players.; 4:00 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Orsen Charles? Michael Moore?; 4:01 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: One of those two has to be the UGA receiver I've heard so much about.; 4:02 PM
Aeronaut said...: uh oh. I got caught. I'll do my best Gov Mark Sanford (R) impersonation.

No I was just trekking the forums, Naked. uh. I mean...

I wish I could wish it away, but this soul-mate feel I alluded too is real and like a good hypocrite I'll quote you some Bible now..

Do I get a pass?; 4:04 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: No but really Orsen Charles kid is a STUD, true freshmen; 4:04 PM
Seanzie said...: Welcome back, James.; 4:05 PM
Aeronaut said...: Either 4 days in limited duty has made me a lazy person, or it takes a couple of days to recover fully from being sick.; 4:08 PM
cincytiger said...: You leave a bunch of boys alone in a room and they have a farting contest.; 4:29 PM
cincytiger said...: Anyone listen to fbomb today? Was he still stirring the pot. Opening Drive devoted their whole show to Trooper and what he might have said. They are taking him at his word that is not what he said. I say he knew he had a mic on, he isn't that stupid.; 4:30 PM
Jet said...: Don't talk about farts. I'm in Washington, DC, the birthplace of the fart. Remember, SBD was the original WMD.; 4:37 PM

Aeronaut said...: JayG.

Sometimes I post on /respond to AUC forums.

I'm afraid I don't share your outlook on mr Woodberry. He's always the first one to carry any negative news, or giving a negative look to anything positive. Unfortunately certain associations make his neutrality questionable to me.; 4:56 PM
Harrison said...: I've seen worse PF; 4:59 PM
Norm said...: Hola Hotties - I wish I had ample time to catchup with all the latest and greatest, but I don't. What's the suppposed Trooper controversy? What's the story? What's the 411? What's the scoop?

Uh, can one o' y'all tell me what you're talkin' 'bout?; 5:02 PM
Aeronaut said...: I don't have a problem with Evans being a bama graduate and fan.

However if a journalist lets his fanhood (if that's the word) or past association taint his writings, he's not very credible in my eyes.; 5:02 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Where are the minions hanging out these days?; 5:05 PM
Anonymous said...: Woodberry and Gattis are ninnys. They have weak articles and jump on anything to get attention. Josh Moon sometimes slips into this mode.

Visiting that site tends to leave a smell that just doesn't go away very easily...; 5:13 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Norm - Trooper was mic'd up in pre-game (maybe during the game, too). There are claims that he used the "N" word to fire up the players, Mike McNeil in particular. Even when listening to the tape, it's really hard tell whether he did or not. Finebaum is really stirring the pot on the whole issue. He got someone to come on his show and recommend that Trooper be fired.; 5:13 PM

Jay G. Tate said...: Interesting note on Finebaum:

Gribbs was a guest on Finebaum's show today and guess which topic wasn't discussed. That's right. I sense that Finebaum knows the story isn't legit. If he thought it was, wouldn't he ask an Auburn beat writer about it?; 5:17 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Nice point, JGT.; 5:20 PM
Anonymous said...: I've mostly followed PF this afternoon. Not suprisingly after the ESPN guy and McNeil denied that the word was said, PF now is no longer leading a charge and is slowly backing out of it. What a chump. Tommorrow he'll cut folks short on it and claim it to be old news.

Any chance for an apology? Of course not. PF would justify that he just "lead the discussion", while ignoring the fact that he controls who talks and how much they get prompted or get to say. Late in the day yesterday, PF mis-quoted the Gump atty to say that Troop "should be fired" instead of "should be fired IF he said it".; 5:23 PM
Norm said...: Thanks for the updates dudes. Must be a slow news day yesterday and today then.; 5:25 PM

Anonymous said...: You are always welcome on the Auburn Football Insider Podcast, Jay G.; 6:43 PM
Anonymous said...: EBro...An all SEC radio show would be awesome. The challenge would be to get it started without digressing into local rivalry squabbles. ESPN radio could probably pull it off with a southern only syndicated broadcast featuring JGT as host and Tony Barnhart as the color guy/minor antagonist.

I wasn't complaining about the lack of radio exposure. I prefer to get paid for working.; 7:26 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I prefer to get paid for not working, but getting paid to work is a close second....

you gotta look at being on the radio and TV as personal branding. Just count what you think you should get paid to appear, write it down, and consider that extra income. Now subtract out that same amount as marketing expense. You just took home the same amount but increased your marketing budget by a ton. When you are hosting PTI or EPL Today, you'll look back and consider it money(time) well spent.; 7:39 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Mytommy- In reference to how i'm handling Tyrik not playing this fall....FANTASTIC, because I thought that if he didn't play then we would be better than anticipated, too which I believe we are. Chris Todd is winning games. I wasn't convinced Auburn could win games and be productive. So it goes. The Rollison Train is parked back at the station and ready to pickup steam again in the spring. I don't buy that Caudle will be ahead of Rollison after the Spring. I would be shocked. Jay G did a great job of predicting Chris Todd along with some guy who coined Toddzilla, I just didn't think his arm was 100% still.; 7:40 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: That's brilliant, Frankenbummer.; 7:44 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I can definitely see Jay G hosting EPL Today.; 7:46 PM
Anonymous said...: JGT..I listened to some of the Roundtable today and of course they were discussing the "word". Maybe it because the subject was something that Bags always desires to discuss, the show stayed on point. I generally agreed with Bags today and he can handle that subject well, although Doug is better. I don't agree with Bags propensity on normal days to hijack the conversation to one of the few topics that he can handle.; 7:46 PM

FSJ said...: Jay..any truth to the rumors that you are talking to ESPN about their open slot?; 7:53 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Okay 2 hours wasn't enough sleep. How I just drove 2 hours to get home and am still capable of halfway coherant thought is beyond me. I gotta be back out the door in 7 hours. Hottie out....oh,and thanks.; 7:53 PM
digger4au said...: Hoopie I know the game PF plays and only the stupidity of his followers keep him on the air. They don't realize, I guess, that he dogs them about 35% of the time.
They just follow along barking.; 7:54 PM
Anonymous said...: JGT...Tony Barnhart has sortof done what Big Snacks is suggesting and has increased his exposure. If you were allowed to expand your CFB coverage....for...whomever, you could have insight and presentation abilities > TB.; 7:57 PM
FSJ said...: Finebaum couldn't make it if both Alabama and Auburn were great at the same time.

He thrives off of one team being down.; 7:58 PM
AllenD said...: May have missed it, but any discussion on lack of production out of Eltoto? Too much enthusiasim, 100 mph overrunning plays?; 7:58 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I have added two new items to the blog -- Hot Carter update and Mike Blanc update.; 8:02 PM
digger4au said...: True FSJ that is why he is pullig Sh__ out of his boots right now. He can't really dog either one.; 8:03 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: AllenD: Josh Bynes said tonight that Eltoro is trying to be "too perfect" and, as a result, is not playing all that well.; 8:03 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I am very much looking forward to Antoine Carter back in the lineup.

Eltoro kept missing the matador Saturday night.; 8:04 PM
digger4au said...: Glad to seem some help coming on board. We can sure use it. They have played well but starting after the Ball State game the compition gets tougher.; 8:06 PM
JD said...: Sorry if that offended any one. My wife told me that I needed to remove that. It was inappropiate. Sorry.; 8:11 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: If you hadn't deleted it, I would have. Damn, man!; 8:12 PM

ehyou said...: Only one radio show (that I've heard) deserves JGT. Most AL radio guys are lame.; 8:19 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: digger, if you look at it like that his poll actually makes some sense. I like that approach to it, as long as he has no problem dropping teams who won, which some pollsters do. For instance, even if Boise continues to win they would drop if teams like LSU and Auburn continued to win, as both of those teams play a higher quality of opponents from here on out.; 8:20 PM
JD said...: OMG has anyone looked at the computer polls. It is a shame that these things carry as much weight in the BCS as they do. Jeff Sagrin's poll has Iowa ranked #7 in the country. Pathetic!; 8:21 PM
FSJ said...: crap digger...look at number 1.....

:-); 8:24 PM
JD said...: Sagrin does have Auburn #15, UAT#9, UF #21, Miami #1 and FSU #2; 8:24 PM
digger4au said...: I intend to watch his picks and see if he walks the walk and not just talks the talk.; 8:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: get er done; 8:26 PM
digger4au said...: FSJ there was so much red and white up there I couldn't see who it was.; 8:26 PM
JD said...: Based on who they have played thus far I am not sure who I would rank number 1. Probaly Miami or Alabama. However, I do not think that either one of those teams will be there in the end.; 8:36 PM
