Wakeriderof87 said...: Two unseemly uses by Monica on the night; 9:29 PM
cb_augal said...: talked to ur sis on cable site w/game; 9:30 PM
Monica said...: CB remember when we went to the LSU game and their mascot groped me under the stadium?; 9:30 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: 556 yards of offense.; 9:31 PM
Monica said...: I wish she would come over here. Wait, no I don't. She would enjoy telling bad stuff about me.; 9:31 PM
IV said...: The silence of the Chris Todd critics is deafening.; 9:32 PM
j-z said...: Nobody better be talking about my baby daddy up in here.; 9:33 PM
IV said...: Jay, you were right, O.M. is fast as hell.; 9:33 PM
FSJ said...: Congrats on your big win.

I'm shocked that we are behind with Va Tech having less than 100 yards offense.; 9:33 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: WOW what a win!!!!! War Eagle!!!; 9:33 PM
Jay4AU said...: It's

Great

Aeronaut said...: I'm Aeronaut and I approve Gene Chizik.

Welcome to the Chizik Country.; 9:34 PM
Monica said...: Thanks, Faker.; 9:34 PM
Monica said...: Don't Worry
Be Chizzy; 9:35 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Anyone know when the last time we had 556 yards of offense? I'm thinking 06 or earlier.; 9:35 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Awesome 2nd half.

If we could have eliminated the penalties and turnovers it would have been very ugly. A lot to be impressed by.; 9:36 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Wake,

I would say it would have to be in 2005 or before.; 9:36 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Mon how about my boy Mr. FAH!!!!; 9:36 PM
cb_augal said...: MONICA
I remember LOTS of LSU games...lots of road trips...don't ya want to meet in AU next week???
Come on down; 9:37 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I think Zachary's TD of 93 yards had the total yardage of all of our TD's that weren't returns from last year.

We need to work on the redzone a little bit, but I like what I saw after we got things going in the 2nd half.; 9:37 PM
Monica said...: CB are you still here? Do you remember that game where you, Robin and I were sitting in the endzone and someone was running a touchdown toward us? I think it may have been the LSU game? Who was running?; 9:38 PM
IV said...: We have got to some LB help and soon. Our starters got tired.; 9:38 PM
Unknown said...: We had 29 firstdowns, which is incredible.

I would like to see us get more receivers involved.

I would like to see Fannin and McCalebb off the kickoff and punt return teams. They are too big a part of our offense to risk. Put some of the receivers in there. Have PPL return kicks and punts.; 9:38 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I'm proud of Toddzilla, Kodi, and their Auburn Tigers!; 9:39 PM
cb_augal said...: LSU and Auburn
GREAT GAME!!
We had a blast and u sang!!!!; 9:39 PM
missinit said...: Had to go get a drink...a real drink.

I deserved it....I worked real hard for that win!; 9:39 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: OK, Guys we won the game there were subs in the game the last two La Tech drives..... calm down we will be fine.; 9:40 PM
Unknown said...: VaTech is pumped. The evil empire is dying.; 9:40 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Bama's got some serious attitude issues.; 9:40 PM
Monica said...: Mobile - Mr FAH is AWESOME AS HELL!

CB - I would LOVE to meet you in AU next weekend. I'm going to be in B'ham weekend after next, but things didn't work out for me to go to the game. However, you're invited to come up for a party @ Diana's!; 9:40 PM
j-z said...: Chris Todd is my baby daddy IV. He just doesn't know it yet.; 9:40 PM
missinit said...: Okie Dokie,it's the Hokies with the recovery!; 9:40 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: HaHa Bama Fumble!!!!! opps!!!!; 9:41 PM
IV said...: Nick Fairly was a beast.; 9:41 PM
Monica said...: HAHAHAHA That's the game I sang to the guy who said it ain't over till the fat lady sings.

LOL@ ME I love me.; 9:41 PM
Unknown said...: Todd, Kodi, Fannin, Fairley, Tate, FAH were all awesome!!! I loved the way they got Kodi involved. Just because he isn't the QB doesn't mean we shouldn't use his talent.; 9:41 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I'm going to be very happy for a Bama loss, but it just means I'm gonna have to punch people that use this and the UGA game as examples of the SEC's fall from grace as the best conference.; 9:42 PM
IV said...: J-Z, you have broken my heart.; 9:42 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: But Bama has had a No. 1 recruiting class the last two years!!!!; 9:42 PM
cb_augal said...: Mon...I'll call u ...going to Facebook to start some serious smack talk to those Bama fans!!WDE; 9:42 PM
digger4au said...: Great first game!

Got some work to do but I BELIEVE

Chizik says we know where we are now, let's go to work; 9:42 PM
Unknown said...: So, any of you that were hating on Todzilla need to kiss some noodle butt.; 9:43 PM
IV said...: I was really glad for Kodi.; 9:43 PM
Monica said...: goodnight, CB - i hope you come back to visit us soon little darlin!; 9:43 PM
Unknown said...: Well, if Bama has had the top recruit class the last two years, give them a trophy and tell them to shut up.; 9:44 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: lets me see AU was suppose to be in a fist fight with La Tech and Bammer was suppose to blow out Va Tech.... damn I'm gonna love drinking tonight!!!!; 9:44 PM
j-z said...: Work, Hard Work.

Did ya'll see the Dee Ford sack? Everybody contributed tonight. I feel all tingly.; 9:44 PM
Monica said...: That Kodi TD have me serious warm fuzzies.; 9:45 PM
missinit said...: I know it's just the first game and I'm sky high and La Tech is not SEC caliber but I liked what I was seeing tonight. We are going to be okay. We may stump our toes occasionally but things are looking up.; 9:45 PM
Unknown said...: So, just because I are about 40 pounds of lasagna today doesn't necessarily mean I was nervous.; 9:45 PM
j-z said...: We played with fire in the belly. That's something we haven't seen since 04.; 9:45 PM
WarEagleRK said...: La Tech spent all summer thinking this would be the game that put them on the map, a lot of people in the media thought we'd get upset.

We gave them hope in the first half, but I love the way we responded after the 2nd quarter lull. That wouldn't have happened last year.; 9:45 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: So Mon you should be in Tiger Heaven with all the Face time you got see Coach GM?; 9:46 PM
Monica said...: Exactly, Missinit. As we say here in West Virginia, we're all relatives.
It's definitely looking UP!; 9:46 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I wouldn't go as far as compare this to 04 at all, but it was nice tonight.; 9:46 PM
Unknown said...: Okay, I am giving 10 to 1 odds. I am betting we score more than the 5 points we scored against MSU last season.; 9:47 PM
WarEagleRK said...: All that being said, if the offense plays well all year long, don't expect Gus to be back next year...as he'll be a HC somewhere.; 9:47 PM
Monica said...: Well, Mobile, I tell ya. Coach Gus is pretty, but he has no shoulders, no calves, he couldn't keep his pants up, etc. I like my men more solid than that, ya know. As I am a perfect physical specimen myself, I demand perfection.

But I still love him.; 9:48 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: RK, shut yo mouth!!!!; 9:48 PM
Unknown said...: It is not 04. I am not sure if the offense is as good as 05. But we have a good offense. If the receivers get more involved, it could be great.

As for the defense, the depth is killing us at linebacker.; 9:48 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Mon, you are just one hard to please woman!!!; 9:48 PM
missinit said...: I believe in Auburn and love it!!!; 9:49 PM
Unknown said...: I believe my overly optimistic prediction was 500 yards of offense. Hmmmm, I underestimated.; 9:49 PM
Monica said...: I'm living in the moment. I don't care who is here next year. I don't care about anything other than we just won and this feels a hellova lot better than it has in a couple of years. We played with passion, we had a 556 yard GAME for the love of all that is holy!

So, I'm enjoying it as it comes.; 9:50 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: is it just me or did it seem La Tech was saying what we all knew already" Dam the guy McCallabb is Fast As Hell"!!!!; 9:50 PM
j-z said...: Ok...let me clarify. We played with an intensity that I haven't seen since 04. No, we don't have the talent that we did in 04, but we may have the heart this year.; 9:50 PM
Unknown said...: To me this looks like at least an 8 win team. With a lot of luck in terms of injuries, we could do better. UGA looked beatable today.; 9:50 PM
Monica said...: Mobile - you know I'm just running my mouth. It's what I do.; 9:50 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: "Touchdown Auburn" damn what a sweet sound!; 9:51 PM
Monica said...: I still say we only win 6 games this year.; 9:51 PM
Unknown said...: j-z, I think you are referring to the attitude and I must agree. While the receivers didn't get that involved, the offensive players played with intensity. The defense stepped up in the second half too.; 9:51 PM
Unknown said...: Omnica, which 6 teams do you think will beat us?; 9:52 PM
missinit said...: Did y'all notice LA Tech's kicker. He was 120 pounds soaking wet or I'm not sitting and he was skinny as hell!; 9:52 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Geez Mon, who is the Debbie Downer now?; 9:52 PM
digger4au said...: This is not 2004 and certainly not 2008.

Just win BABY; 9:53 PM
Unknown said...: I am now convinced we will beat Arkansas and probably UT.; 9:54 PM
missinit said...: Wonder what your #1 recruit will think about that performance tonight Monica??????; 9:54 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: oops LSWho is down 7-0 to UDub!; 9:54 PM
Unknown said...: West Virginia now looks like tiger meat and Ball State is going to be a greasy spot.; 9:55 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: the only Team that I'm worried about now is Miss St.!!!!; 9:55 PM
WarEagleRK said...: One game at a time. The competition steps up a little next week with it being an SEC school.; 9:57 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I think we will win games we never thought we would've won prior to tonight... and lose some head scratchers too due to injuries to our OL and LB's.; 9:57 PM
digger4au said...: It is early but is the SEC down?

I don't think you can tell after opening day.

Fla sure had a creampuff.; 9:57 PM
Unknown said...: MSU is going down big time. I saw their game today. The game was close until the half and they were playing nobody U.; 9:57 PM
missinit said...: okay boys and girls don't start counting the eggs yet....we just starting crawling good!; 9:58 PM
Unknown said...: Injuries could definitely kill this team, especially at linebacker.; 9:58 PM
Monica said...: that's me, Debbie Downer :-)

The 6 the we lose to.; 9:59 PM
missinit said...: Final stats soon, Jay?; 9:59 PM
Unknown said...: Now, should we root for our sister instituion? They seem to be having a tough go of it.; 9:59 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We've got to eliminate the big penalties, work on the redzone offense and defense across the middle, but those are all things we can fix.; 10:00 PM
Monica said...: Is Va Tech our sister institution?; 10:00 PM
Unknown said...: The evil empire is dominating the stats, except the most important stat.; 10:00 PM
WarEagleRK said...: missinit,

Final stats are here...

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/boxscore?gid=200909050075; 10:00 PM
digger4au said...: If you are from
West Virgnia; 10:01 PM
Norm said...: War Eagle Hotties. Loved that 2nd half.; 10:01 PM
j-z said...: I think we worked on the penalties during halftime. Anybody see any facemasks in the 2nd half?; 10:01 PM
Unknown said...: Tate's fumble was troubling. I saw him put one hand down to catch his fall. Can't do that. Keep both hands on the ball and take your bruise.; 10:03 PM
IV said...: Steve, I believe that the coaches were taking what La. Tech was giving us. They were tight on our wide outs so they threw more to the H back and RB. However, how much more do you want the WRs to get than Terrell Zachery?; 10:03 PM
missinit said...: Mr. Roof looked cool, calm, and collected even with all that youth out there tonight....geez we are thin; 10:05 PM
michael said...: Nice win.

So apparently the new regime likes running the starter with 20 seconds left to pad the stats... still don't know what I think about that. That is a great sales pitch to give to Dyer and Seastrunk, but not sure how classy it is.; 10:06 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Unless they make a big mistake, Alabama might have put this one away. Their D isn't going to give much ground.; 10:06 PM
digger4au said...: I am afraid the thin Blue Line will really hurt us when we get into the meat of our schedule.; 10:06 PM
Norm said...: Haven't had time to catch up on past thread posts. Who else saw Auburn Football: Every Day? I liked what I saw on that.; 10:08 PM
Norm said...: Digger's correct.

As usual.; 10:09 PM
Norm said...: Stupid UAT.; 10:09 PM
digger4au said...: bama 24-17 and recovered a fumble oops scored again; 10:10 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Does anyone remember any drops tonight?; 10:11 PM
digger4au said...: cancel score but they are close; 10:11 PM
j-z said...: VA Tech is apparently done.; 10:11 PM
j-z said...: There were a couple of drops, but not like in years past. Saw one instance of Trott giving up on a route.

I'm betting Adams, Tate and Fannin will be running some up downs.; 10:13 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Soft; 10:13 PM
wtc said...: AU looked good at times tonight. I think the 1st half was just nerves, or at least I hope they were. W/O the turnovers and penalties this game could have been ugly quick, but they are part of the game and must be eliminated. Glad to get a big win and not slow down the 2nd half. Also thought AU made adjustments in the 2nd half that really did not happen last year.; 10:13 PM
Monica said...: I'm ignoring Michael's entry.; 10:13 PM
WarEagleRK said...: There was no doubt when Kodi threw the ball that it wasn't going to be what we wanted.

I think he's a great kid, but just wild with that arm.; 10:14 PM
j-z said...: Too much to drink jhag?; 10:14 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I agree with Jay G, Tub would have never gotten us the 3 before half.

He would have sit on the ball.; 10:15 PM
missinit said...: Thanks for that stat link RK.....we were 'runnung back u' tonight with two 100 yarders.; 10:15 PM
michael said...: DON'T IGNORE ME MOND!; 10:15 PM
missinit said...: running=runnung

...who cares!; 10:16 PM
Norm said...: Who said that?; 10:16 PM
Monica said...: I can't respond to that demand of yours Michael because I'm ignoring you and I don't see it.; 10:16 PM
WarEagleRK said...: 8 of 12 on 3rd down today...that was big as well.; 10:16 PM
wtc said...: AU had a few passes that were dropped, but The one to Trott really was pas interference. The DB had his short and the ref did not see it. Even the replay on the scoreboard showed it. I think Fannin and Adams will be doing some extra work for the drops.; 10:17 PM
michael said...: I'm not saying going for stats was wrong, it was just Urban Meyerish, and opposite of Tubs. The team probably needs that sort of attitude right about now. It certainly helps with recruiting.

But still, after talking trash about that sort of thing for so many years, it will take some adjusting for me to see the good guys doing it.; 10:17 PM
missinit said...: We actually scored points in EVERY quarter tonight...WE SCORED POINTS!!!; 10:18 PM
Monica said...: All I hear is Charlie Brown's teacher.; 10:19 PM
IV said...: Michael, what you need to remember is kapliwe9k zlahuoxnhd 20wgjdusmxaun.; 10:19 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Who else did we have to run the ball at that point?

We could have done the Lane Kiffin and just kept passing.; 10:19 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We also actually had the lead at the half and didn't blow it.; 10:20 PM
michael said...: You MJT Quick Bullet Summary Of Love:

Fairly = Awesome. Best surprise of the night, he was beastly
Todd's Arm Strength = oh what a nice surprise. Around Cox strength (including Cox's patented one hopper on an out route) with a quicker release and better mobility. A little inaccurate at times, blame it on nerves
Ontario McIrishman* =
Bates = Really Nice hands on the interception
Receivers = Caught some tough balls tonight, even made em look easy
Fannin = Makes Tre Smith look like a punt catching virtuoso = let's get him a few snaps running straight ahead into the line from the rb position, that is what he is best at
Kodi Burns = nice to see he is a solid contributor, not out there due to pity from the coaches. Good story.

On plays in which Todd pump faked, he was like 3/4 with two TDs. He should pump fake every play.

What's up with that weird reach around handoff? Is that really necessary?

Tate early, McIrishman late is going to be sweet music all year long I think.

*I tried to write what McIrishman equaled, but he was too fast. He was gone before I had a chance.; 10:20 PM
WarEagleRK said...: That's a TD for Va Tech; 10:20 PM
wtc said...: that was TD by vatech.; 10:20 PM
Unknown said...: IV, I really want to see the WRs get more catches and more receivers involved. TZach did pretty well. Adams did well with 4 catches, although most of them were late. Where were Trott, Carr, Benton, and Emory?; 10:20 PM
Monica said...: When bama fans post stuff on my Auburn posts I delete their sorry asses in a flash. Zero tolerance.; 10:20 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: WOW that guy for Va Tech was FAH!!!!!; 10:20 PM
michael said...: rk - In reply to "who else would run it?", I am sure there is some walk-on whose parents would have loved to see him get a carry, or give Aycock his first action; 10:21 PM
Monica said...: my bama trash deletions are FAH; 10:21 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Dont Blame you Mon..... those agrogant B_stards!; 10:22 PM
michael said...: Benton and Blake were targeted a couple of times, Steve, but balls weren't catchable.; 10:22 PM
wtc said...: McCalebb joins Bo was only ptheroAU freshman rb to gain 100 yards.; 10:23 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: TD Va Tech!!!!..... Hell yes we got ourselves a ballgame.... GMac will choke!!!!; 10:23 PM
Unknown said...: Michael, Tate early and FAH late is what I have been picturing also. They are an awesome combination of power and speed.; 10:23 PM
Monica said...: It's so funny how many times i've seen people texting when the camera goes to the crowd.; 10:23 PM
Norm said...: WTC wasn't texting during the game I'd bet.; 10:24 PM
WarEagleRK said...: All 3 La Tech scoring drives we assisted by a penalty by us on a 3rd down play where we had stopped them.

We handed them a free set of downs every time they scored.; 10:24 PM
wtc said...: Benton was covered all night. That is why Fannin was open over the middle most of the night.; 10:25 PM
j-z said...: Ok, so maybe Va Tech isn't done.; 10:25 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: I smell an INT!!!; 10:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Tate late is better than FAH late.

McCaleb to make them tired early, then Tate to bulldoze them after they are dead on their feet.; 10:25 PM
michael said...: Defense definitely has some issues... I can't believe there was no Eltoro! I was hoping he would be good to go.

btw, on Fairley's sack, that had to be the slowest successful spin move ever. When watching the play develop, I was like, "Ha! What a slow spin move." and then he goes and sacks the qb. Whatever works!; 10:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Geez..listening to Bramblet on the highlights in the post game show makes me want to kick him in the skull.; 10:26 PM
IV said...: Steve, I think that Trott was doing his usual SAH routes. I did see at least one pass to Benton that was not catchable. Blake, I think played very little. Carr did get in the game right at the end, but that is the only time I remember seeing him. I still believe that the coaches took what La. Tech gave them and I can't fuss with that.; 10:26 PM
michael said...: rk - dead wrong. Tackling a load early makes it easier for McIrishman to break big ones late. It is the New York Giants strategy with Jacobs and Bradshaw/Ward, and it has worked wonders. Tackling a man takes more out of you than chasing a couple of more steps to take down a 170 lb rb; 10:27 PM
Monica said...: I'm not done being upset with Ziemba. I'm not sure what his punishment is going to be, but it will not be the kind of punishment you like.; 10:28 PM
Unknown said...: Bramblett has improved. I haven't listened to him in quite some time. His announcing is much better than it was a few years ago.; 10:28 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Hey Micheal....."Whatever" we should have lost so we would really have something to talk about!!!; 10:28 PM
michael said...: That first La Tech scoring drive was crazy... bogus pass interference, two legit facemasks in a row, dang. 45 stinking yards. They better score.; 10:28 PM
AUBigCat said...: Evening Hots and WDE!! I just got back from being ALL ORANGE at Jordan Hare. Great to see a real live offense with vertical passes that get caught by our guys!; 10:28 PM
Unknown said...: Omnica, I have asked Jay Tate to slap Ziemba the next time he sees him and tell him Steve said no jumping offsides. What more can I do?; 10:29 PM
wtc said...: Did anyone post that the eagle took off tonight and circled on the east side once and then flew out of the stadium, disappeared, came back in, circled twice and almost hit a couple of folks in the upper deck and then swooped down the toward the end zone, flew between the goalposts before landing on the field.

It was awesome to see.; 10:29 PM
missinit said...: VT and bammer have UGLY unis....imho; 10:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I was surprised how many times in the first half that 6"3 230ish LB Craig Stevens lined up out in the flat against a La Tech WR; 10:30 PM
Monica said...: HA Love the avatar, BigCat! Way to represent in the ALL ORANGE. Was the atmosphere salacious???; 10:30 PM
wtc said...: wtc was not texting, but my wife was and asked her to put it down several times as it is annoying.; 10:30 PM
Monica said...: totally agree, missinit; 10:31 PM
missinit said...: wtc, are you serious about the eagle?; 10:31 PM
j-z said...: The reach around handoff worked. I'm not going to argue.

Wait... Michael just tricked me into saying reach around. Next I'll have to start driving a Murano.; 10:31 PM
Monica said...: I heard them describe Spirit's flight on the pregame show with Brambleberetet; 10:32 PM
Norm said...: j-z - one DOES NOT equal the other. Hear me now and believe me later.; 10:32 PM
michael said...: j-z - I don't know how else to describe it. I think it fits. At least we now know Todd has some common courtesy.; 10:33 PM
Unknown said...: When is the last time our offense was rolling like this this early in the season? It certainly wasn't in 2003, 2004, 2005. We always seem to start slow offensively. This season we were on from the very first drive.; 10:34 PM
IV said...: Make Ziemba lose weight as punishment.; 10:34 PM
wtc said...: missinit, yes. It could have been the worse flight ever, but it turned out to be the best I've seen in many years.; 10:35 PM
missinit said...: Spirit is our eagle's name??
Where in the world did I get War Eagle VII? That student said Nova in the commercial thingy.; 10:35 PM
Unknown said...: If Ziemba keeps it up like this, I swear we are going to hear a ref say illegal motion on you know who.; 10:35 PM
WarEagleRK said...: michael - I'm not dead wrong.

Either strategy works well.

Tate suddenly looks FAH after the D is worn down.; 10:36 PM
IV said...: I think I am correct in saying Spirit is our bald eagle and Nova is our Golden Eagle and they rotate the flights between them.; 10:36 PM
Unknown said...: I like Tate wearing them out early. Tired players attempting to catch FAH is a good thing.; 10:37 PM
