ADP said...: Starting page two with substance; 12:04 PM
Aeronaut said...: Hoopie: Already done.

Michael: He was invited for big cat weekend. I don't know if he came or not.; 12:04 PM
ADP said...: How could anybody possibly think that Aycock could do better than the people we have on the field. That's just insane.; 12:05 PM
j-z said...: I do think Aycock will be featured in the Wildcat later on in his career, but from what I've read, he needs the Scout team reps.; 12:06 PM
Norm said...: Frame - your question was addressed yesterday, you must've missed it. "FAH" = fast as hell, which is how Sportswriter Tate described him when asked how he'd fit into the offense.; 12:07 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I agree with Phred. Aycock can be great, but he is not in great shape and needs the year under Yox IMO.; 12:08 PM
Anonymous said...: Thanks Aero. My how the worm turns.

I'll forgive a 17 year old for being impressionable. As far aa being uncomfortable...I guess you are worried about spying or influencing others?...CGC & Co. ain't stoopid, so why be paranoid. If there is a problem, the coaches will deal with it without the need for our speculation to prompt them...sooooo I don't see any benefit in speculating such.

"It is what it is"....couldn't resist that.; 12:08 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: FAH seems like a very accurate description of Mr. McCalebb.; 12:09 PM
Anonymous said...: Eddie..get on the Aycock Train..wooo...wooo!

BTW...I was messing around. I seriously believe in redshirting. There is physical and mental growth normally needed for 18 year olds in order to handle the SEC. My guess is that OMac would not have been ready to play in fall 2008.; 12:13 PM
Frame said...: Thanks Norm.

Literally right after I asked that question again today, Fast As Hell popped in my head. It was almost like someone sent it telepathically.; 12:15 PM
j-z said...: I did. You're welcome.; 12:17 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: PROTECT THIS COUCH!; 12:18 PM
E-Bro said...: Notable Newcomer! I promise I won't let this go to my head. Now where's my coffee?; 12:19 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Yeah Right Bro, i'll be hearing about this for awhile.; 12:22 PM
mytommyd said...: Speaking of redshirts, any word on if/when they will redshirt Mr Rollison. How long can they wait before they tag him with the redshirt status?; 12:22 PM
Jet said...: I hate conference calls on financial sector regulation. But I hate UAT more.; 12:26 PM
Hornet said...: I was cheating on the HABOTN and read the following. LSU has won 31 consecutive night games in Baton Rouge. It also mentioned they've lost their last 3 day games there.....but 31 in a row at night? Can that be accurate?; 12:26 PM
Anonymous said...: I HATE that I can't get on the HABOTN in my office anymore!

JGT - What was the final score of the Man U game. I don't want to watch the replay; 12:28 PM
Aeronaut said...: tommyD: you don't need to declare redshirt till the end of season... or at least that's what I understand.

I don't think redshirting players is a priority when you have 75 scholarship athletes. If Aycock can block on punt returns, throw him in.; 12:29 PM
j-z said...: I might be wrong, but I think as long as he doesn't play, they don't have to officially call it a redshirt until after the season. My gut feeling is that Caudle's fine as the backup as long as Todd is healthy. If Todd gets hurt, I don't see Caudle being the starter. I think Tyrik being 3rd string is just Chizik and crew's strategy for managing expectations.; 12:29 PM
j-z said...: Hornet = Blog Whore.; 12:30 PM
E-Bro said...: AU1NO4, United won on Tuesday (in the glory of Fox Sports HD I might add) 1-0 in Instanbul.; 12:36 PM
Anonymous said...: Thanks Bro!

I don't have that in HD. Do you have Direct TV?; 12:38 PM
Aeronaut said...: Mitch Mustain is now a punter for USC.

I couldn't be happier for the young man. What else would one of the highest rated high school QBs want more than becoming a punter for USC? nothing, I say, nothing.; 12:42 PM
michael said...: I heard Mitch Mustain's mother has called and chewed out Pete Carrol for not making Mitch the starting punter immediately.; 12:47 PM
E-Bro said...: No problem. I don't have Direct TV. I have Comcrap, so it's shocking to me that I have Fox Sports HD, but I'll roll with it.; 12:48 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: I HAVE A BOX FULL OF HABOTN HATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; 12:49 PM
E-Bro said...: What's going to be awesome is when Mustain still forges an NFL career out of a third string QB position at USC. Doesn't hurt for recruiting.

Come to USC, you may or may not get any playing time at the QB position, but you'll still parlay that into a mutli-million dollar deal (Matt Cassel) in the NFL.; 12:52 PM
mytommyd said...: WOOOHOOO SCOTTIEB!!!!; 12:52 PM
Ephemeral said...: I would like to thank Mr. JGTate for including me in the list of Notables.

I always knew my lack of substance would get me somewhere.; 12:55 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: now that i've got the caps and have my plans set for tomorrow morning i'm getting that anxious/nervous/excited feeling in my belly. i can't wait to get in the car & jet outta here!; 12:57 PM
Aeronaut said...: At least Pete Carrol's wife won't threaten "beating MMs mom with a 2x4 while she was being treated for injuries sustained after being beaten by a 2x4"; 12:58 PM
mytommyd said...: where do we meet you Scottie?; 12:59 PM
Ephemeral said...: Please stand and sing:

Here we go, Auburn, here we go!; 1:00 PM
mytommyd said...: clap clap; 1:04 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I'm hoping to hear a lot of "Kernkraft 400" played tomorrow night!!!!; 1:08 PM
wes said...: Great news Scottie! I needed that...; 1:10 PM
mytommyd said...: I thought you guys were joking about the Mitch Mustain punter thing. I stand corrected, in slight disbelief. All I can think of now is the storied history of Todd Marinovich; 1:13 PM
Unknown said...: Mitch Mustain is a sad case. I wonder how much he is used by people recruiting against Arkansas. I suppose now that Arkansas is Nuttless, it isn't as appropriate.; 1:13 PM
Anonymous said...: 5 star QB Recruit class:

Mustain...malcontent at Arky. on the bench at USC

Stafford...starts Fr,So and Jr year @ UGA and is the 2009 #1 draft pick.

Tebow...1 or 2 Heismans/MNCs and probable 2-3 round draft pick.

Recruiting = A Box of Chocolates; 1:19 PM
mytommyd said...: Arkansas is Nuttless
Thank you Steve; 1:20 PM
E-Bro said...: Wow, Chris Low's lunchtime link to Jay G's excellent article on Grimes and the OL is a little misleading. Says Low:

"Offensive line coach Jeff Grimes directs Auburn's offensive line down the right path with a healthy dose of toughness, writes Jay G. Tate of The Montgomery Advertiser."; 1:24 PM
Anonymous said...: Ms. Hoopie and I are considering going to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. We're NW of Atl and the closest venues are Bham and Greeville,Sc. Bham is Sat, Jan 2 sooo...we'll be going to Greenville.

Jan. 2 is not a good date for a concert in a CFB crazy town like Bham....what were ya thinkin'.; 1:26 PM
Jet said...: Buttons for the game tomorrow night ...

"BANJO BEATDOWN!"; 1:29 PM
cincytiger said...: Is there anything better than homemade blueberry muffins straight out of the oven? Well, yes there are, but these are pretty dang good.; 1:32 PM
Hornet said...: being 3-0 on Sunday is better than blueberry muffins.......but that's about it; 1:35 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm just glad to be on Chris Low's lunchtime links. Sounds impressive.; 1:37 PM
paulmain said...: I spent some time between charelston and hunington west virginia and their was nothing there but tity bars.; 1:43 PM
paulmain said...: and a k-mart; 1:44 PM
Unknown said...: Grimes is interesting. He sounds way too touchy feely liberal can't we all just get along, but he has produced wonderful results.

I do like his message of accountability, but I am use to the offensive line coach that isn't afraid to go to the whip.; 1:45 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: By the way, did anyone know that Tulsa ran a 3-3-5 defense and Malzahn got to see a lot in practices?? I think that will be very helpful come Saturday night.; 1:46 PM
Unknown said...: Did someone say titty? Oh, high paulmain.; 1:46 PM
Jet said...: After all, Jay G, you're likely stunned he would mention your name due to insane jealousy, since you will soon be higher than him in the ESPN stratosphere.

Or so I'm told. What say you?; 1:46 PM
Unknown said...: Eddie, I am hoping we take advantage of that 3-3-5. Yes, it is probably good for pass coverage and possibly blitz packages, but if we just had a big powerful runningback that could run over small DBs, we should have a chance. Wait, what about that Tate guy?; 1:48 PM
paulmain said...: I would like to commend JZ on his effective use of mental telepathy.; 1:50 PM
Jet said...: Paulmain ...

If you think that's impressive, give him a box of popcorn.; 1:51 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'll make my move when I decide it's time. Chris Low is one of the good guys. I'll take care of him.; 1:52 PM
Unknown said...: By the way, I am convinced that a the only defense that will be able to stop us will be one that goes man to man. There is just too many moving parts to try to go zone. So, let WV go man and find someone that can tackle Tate one on one. If they have that, they still have to have someone that can keep up with FAH. It is a tall order.

Then there is Todd. My gut tells me that he could be the deciding factor in this game. As long as he continues to make smart decisions, we are good.; 1:52 PM
ehyou said...: Man, missed the music talk. How can y'all discuss great bands and Poco not come up? Unbelievable.; 1:52 PM
Norm said...: Jet - I tried to post the same comment type comment twice and just didn't like either so I never entered them. Yours was way better than what I had.

So, what does Sportswriter Tate say about going to work for Worldwide Leader? Has he considered how cold it is in Bristol, CT? I don't like the cold, but then I don't work for ESPN.; 1:54 PM
E-Bro said...: It's worth remembering that Grimes was at CU-Boulder before. I live out in Denver and have been up there numerous times. It's left of left (which I dig as a liberal, but still a bit much).

For CU games, they have VIP parking for their bicyclists.

That's not a joke.; 1:54 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I love some Rose of Cimmaron; 1:55 PM
E-Bro said...: Excuse me, valet parking for their cyclists. Point still made.; 1:56 PM
michael said...: If we ever really have death panels, I am going to immediately apply to be on one. I think that would be a cool job.; 1:56 PM
Jet said...: MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Highly touted sports writer Jay G. Tate made today his most definitive statement regarding widely speculated negotiations between the HABOTN King and ESPN.

"I'll make my move when I decide it's time," Tate posted on HABOTN, his blog. "Chris Low is one of the good guys. I'll take care of him."

Low is ESPN.com's Southeastern Conference correspondent, and presumably would report to Tate in some future arrangement.

Tate did not return a phone call seeking elaboration on his comments.; 1:58 PM
paulmain said...: Michael isn't that what a jury is?; 1:59 PM
ehyou said...: Low links to JGT articles frequently lately. I wonder if it has anything to do with the e-mail I sent reminding him of Tate's writing prowess.

I doubt it, he probably just thinks I'm weird.; 1:59 PM
Jet said...: Mrs. Jet served on a death panel. She was the foreperson. The accused had hired a dude to kill his mother and brother so he could get his hands on some land.

They voted to send the dude into the loving arms of Yellow Mama.

She reminds me of that from time to time.; 2:01 PM

Unknown said...: I have never really considered the possibilities of a HABOTN/ESPN merger. Michael, what would puppet hour be like on live TV?; 2:05 PM
michael said...: I was thinking more along the lines of death panels deciding if sick people are allowed to live or die. Juries are a passe form of a death panel.

Jet - your wife is hardcore!; 2:05 PM
Jet said...: Steve:

"Countdown with Keith Olbermann"; 2:06 PM
paulmain said...: Does anyone else act busy at work while in reality they are not doing anything but surfing the HABOTN?; 2:06 PM
michael said...: Puppet Hour on ESPN would be me and whoever else doing a fake sportscenter. Complete randomness would ensue. It would be canceled after three weeks. All the good shows are.; 2:07 PM
michael said...: One recurring bit would be the sportcenter anchor reciting gibberish with a picture of an athlete in the top corner like you are talking a real story, and then throwing it to a correspondent at a field or whatever who then also speaks gibberish, who then throws it back to the sportscenter anchor who then thanks the reporter in gibberish.; 2:08 PM
Anonymous said...: By the way, did Barry McKnight ever pick a better year to drop the "Troy could beat Auburn" on the masses?

That one blew up like The Godfather.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Yes, Sensi, it is undoubtedly somehow the fault of UA-T that you picked the way you did. KEEP HATE ALIVE, but direct it at UA-T, not yosef; 2:15 PM
JD said...: Sensi,

I say that Troy's struggles the are related to the Karma of the preseason hype. Similar to the same karma bug that bit AU in 2003.; 2:16 PM

ok, Kristina has agreed to let me disperse HABOTN caps at her & Kirby's tailgate spot. let's do this at 3:00 Auburn time. if you have any problems with that let me know and we can make other arrangements.

Scott M. Brannan said...: Eddie, i downloaded it on my ipod for my run with Tucker yesterday morning. i was pretty pumped up. :)

hopefully we'll be Livin on Gus all year and not a Prayer. all those prayers last year didn't help.; 2:24 PM
E-Bro said...: Eddie and Sensi, forget to tell y'all that when I was at the Texas-Wyoming game last weekend, they played Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" right before the game and the student section went crazy. But (A) they're the Cowboys, so the song kind of makes sense; (B) it's the theme song for Deadliest Catch; and (C) it's just a great song. Period. The end.; 2:27 PM
mytommyd said...: When is Tigerwalk tomorrow?; 2:27 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Scottie B- I like Zombie Nation, but i'm also hooked on the Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling". That is the perfect song before kickoff, just as they did before La Tech.; 2:28 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Bro- I can buy that. Livin' on a prayer needs to go bye bye in the worst way possible.; 2:29 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: (note to self: put LIVING ON A PRAYER on the back of Eddie's next HABOTN tee.); 2:30 PM

Roberts nominated for Auburn Board of Trustees
Ben Tom "B.T." Roberts of Mobile was nominated today to complete the term of the late John C.H. "Jack" Miller Jr. on the Auburn University Board of Trustees. If confirmed by the Alabama Senate, Roberts will represent Choctaw, Clarke, Marengo, Mobile, Monroe, Washington and Wilcox counties on the Auburn Board through May 10, 2012. Roberts was selected for the position in a unanimous vote by the Auburn University Trustee Selection Committee, which includes Gov. Bob Riley, two members of the Auburn Alumni Association's Board of Directors and two Auburn trustees. Roberts is president of Roberts Brothers Commercial and Property Management Inc. in Mobile. He graduated from Auburn in 1972 with a degree in industrial management and has been active in Auburn alumni and development activities for many years.; 3:09 PM

Heading to Opp for the STJ-Opp bloodbath.

Will text you ... as it affects Elmore County and Holtville in the playoff chase.; 3:32 PM
michael said...: "I can pound you inside and then I can make you miss and take it outside as well," Tate said. "And then after beating you down for a while, you have Onterio come in, and he’s just a blur. He’s so fast. You’ve got to run around and chase him for a while."

Norm said...: Sensi - give me your digits and I'll text you about the fine steak dinner I'm having with just the Mrs while the son is off at a sitter. It'll be much better than catfish details.; 4:03 PM
Norm said...: Nothing wrong with catfish though. This filet will be way better than catfish and more expensive so it'd better be better.; 4:03 PM
michael said...: Indeed Norm, no argument there. However, I am actually being an involved parent and taking the wife and kids to one of those catfish places where they flip the cornbread. Don't worry though Auburnites, I will be telling everyone there that the Cock of the Walk waiters do it much better.; 4:20 PM
Norm said...: Well, I'm all for family night out, we do it regularly every week. We also manage to get maybe one night out of the month where it's only adults. And since this is my birthday week, I get to pick where we go. So, pretty nice steak it is.; 4:40 PM
Unknown said...: Michael, I agree. Tate's style of running is much more punishing than FAH and he will get more carries. Saving some of FAH's carries until later in the game when the defense is worn out makes more sense.; 4:42 PM
Anonymous said...: I read the Chris Low article and ended up sipping a little kool-aid. Tate says CGM still has a lot up his sleeve and I'm wondering if my "38-35 last one to score..wins" prediction is too pessimistic.; 4:43 PM
