First post: Thursday of Week Eight

Hey everyone. Are you still waiting for Paul Finebaum to drop his big scoop on the air? You know the one: It's supposed to damage Auburn and elicit panic attacks from fans as far away as Guam. It's that explosive. It may have to do with Eric Smith. Or maybe it doesn't. Maybe Tuberville snitching to the NCAA?

Don't hold your breath.

People don't reveal scoops until they have them nailed down. For real. So when someone says they have a scoop but will not discuss it, call Sidd Finch, Paul Bunyan or the elusive Yeti for more information.

Radio, in almost all cases, is entertainment. Remember that.

Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

I'm gonna have to be rectangular for the 2:00 chat and maybe TNL. Sad, but so it goes.

Cincy, to answer your question from the previous thread, I am indeed heading back to God's Country, aka, the South, aka Tennessee, aka the Noog. I'll be at the Navy Nightmare next week. Holla!

Earthquakes, phantom whistles, missing 21 field goals in a gmae, dumb men in hats with ridiculous play calls.

Weird things happen in Baton Rouge.

How's that for positive, Cincy?

I think Auburn has the chance to win at LSU, they will have to play considerably better. We've seen them play very well at times this year. They will have to play very well for all 60 minutes to beat them.

9:34 AM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Sean: Who is that Lego figure?

Scottie: I need your wifey's consent form ASAP.

9:36 AM  
Blogger mytommyd said...

If our offense can have some sustained drives of the 3-5 minute variety or several big plays, I think our defense can hold against LSU. However if the defense has to play 20-25 minutes of the first half, we will be done. MHO.

9:37 AM

Jay, the lego figure is just a dude I made. I'm about to re-design.

I need a new knee.

9:42 AM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Sensi,
Do you have any Anaprox (a wonderful drug!)? If not, you can take like 3 Aleve. That ought to help with the inflammation, better than Ibuprofen. You can't remember anything you did to injure it? It is beside your knee, not behind it in your calf, right?

9:45 AM  
Blogger michael said...

Maybe you have knee cancer, Sensi. I would suggest exploratory surgery.

9:48 AM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Above knee cap on the inside.

Can't think of how I did it. I stood up and it started hurting two days ago. I made an appointment for the doctor tomorrow morning.

9:49 AM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

The pain radiates from the spot above my knee to just below the kneecap and wrapping around to the backside of my knee all on the inside. The outside of my knee doesn't hurt at all. It's very sensitive to touch also if that helps.

Thanks, Cincy.

Someone put him in the figure 4 leglock.

10:07 AM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Sensi,
Sounds like an MCL injury. Can you remember anytime that you hit the outside of your knee, kind of forcing it in toward your other leg? Could be you had a partial tear and then just the way you stood up could have aggravated it further. Large doses of Naproxen Sodium (Anaprox or Aleve) will help. Keep it elevated like you did last night. Put ice on for 15 minutes every hour. But allow it to warm up the other 45 minutes of the hour. You don't want frostbite in addition!

Disclaimer - I am not a doctor, but I did play a nurse on TV for many years. :)

So who is going to the ole miss game?? Looks like i will be there, i'm down with a tailgate and will bring some fresh fish and some softshell crab and stuff like that. If there's an official Hottie meeting locale shoot me a message and let me know.

10:17 AM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Cincy,

Thanks. Eddie told me the same thing (he's injured his before) and a friend at Troy who used to work in sports medicine did as well. I'm going to the doc to make sure I'm in the clear for other issues and will apply ice when I can. Hard to do that at work.

10:18 AM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

I'm going, but with the early start, doubt I'll make it in time for any tailgating.

I'm not looking at surgery, am I?

I hate going under the knife.

i'm gonna drive up friday night and get all hooked up. Finding it harder to find time to post on the HABOTN, been a very busy summer and off season so far.

My friend, my friend, he's got a knife.

10:23 AM  
Blogger michael said...

Sensi - I hyperextended my knee one time and sprained my mcl. It hurt pretty bad, but I was able to run on it again after about a month.

If you tore it, I think it means surgery, but the mcl surgery is not nearly as serious as the acl one.

10:26 AM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

BinOBA,
I am planning a party at our new condo, directly across the street from Lowder on Magnolia. We will have breakfast before the game and then grill out or something after the game. We will tailgate on the lawn in front of the condo. Would love for you to come by - and anyone else who is around.

This is provided everything goes according to my plan and we close on Wed or Thurs next week. I wish everyone moved according to my schedule.

10:30 AM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

If I completely tore it, my knee would fold inwards, right?

It's not doing that, so I think I'm in the clear there.

I hope so at least.

10:30 AM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

Sensi,
If you can't recall a specific time you injured it, it is probably just a sprain. Rest, ice and Anaprox should do the trick. Hopefully doc can tell you tomorrow.

Good deal, Cincy. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

We should have an "Ask Doctor Cincy" time on the HABOTN. Except that Cincy isn't a doctor.

I just received a text update that CB Harry Adams was dismissed from the team.

Have any of you heard this?

11:28 AM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

D & b now confirm this though they are a radio show. I will wait for confirm by Jay G.

This is interesting. Allegedly, it was for a violation of team rules and is not a suspension, but a dismissal.

11:30 AM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Goodbye Harry Adams, we hardly knew ya.

11:34 AM  
Blogger Ragamuffin said...

P. Marshall is confirming it as well, and it's a dismissal, not a suspension.

11:35 AM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Sensi,

The best therapy for an injury is to inject steroids directly into the injury.

Seriously, knee injuries suck. I had a partial tear on my patella tendon once. Never fun. Hopefully yours isn't too bad.

Still, juice, lots of juice injected directly into the knee.

11:36 AM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

Sensi, I recommend that you inject Kool-Aid.

hooray for increasing losses to defensive depth!

Harry, what gives homes? geez.

Geez Scottie, he broke team rules. Is that not a good enough description.

How nervous was P Marsh when pushing the "submit" button on this dismissal story?

Reputable Print Resource now confirms H Adams' dismissal as well.

12:02 PM  
Blogger Mark said...

Maybe the Harry Adams dismissal was the breaking news that Finebaum was going to expose.

Based on vicious rumors blowing, does anyone think this is drug related.

I have to believe he had a major screw up to get dismissed and not suspended.

Chisik is a class act; but, also one that would give a kid a second chance if he thought the situation warranted it.

12:02 PM

Harry Adams was Tommy Tuberville's mole. We'll hear all about it on Finebaum.

Too bad about Adams. Bad timing... Any kid with his speed has promise.

AU has had few dismissals until this past year. Is that just an ugly coincidence?... a clash of personalities with the new staff?, or stricter standards?

The guys that were dismissed this summer and Adams were at AU for 2 full years seemingly without any issues and now.....issues.

12:33 PM

"stricter standards"

Very fair assessment. From everything I've heard, that is true.

12:36 PM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

Hoopie, there's generally some attrition with any new coaching staff. I think Chiz has done it the right way, whereas Kiffin up in Knoxville has run off players almost to spite them (QB B.J. Coleman comes to mind).
