First Post: Wednesday of Week Six
Hey everyone. Thanks for watching my video, which was posted last night. There was a lot of funny stuff going on. Antonio Coleman is far less quotable than he once was, but he hasn't lost any authority among teammates. When he tells a man to shut him mouth, that man shuts his mouth.
I told you all about Mario Fannin's letter jacket thing earlier this year. Since it's a bit chilly at night now, No. 27 again is flossing at all times. I could tell Kodi Burns got a kick out of it -- the same way you might get a kick out of your dad wearing a pocket protector. OK, maybe that's just my family.
I'm flying to Tulsa, Okla., on Thursday for the Auburn/Arkansas game. My peeps live in Tulsa. This may or may not preclude me from participating in Thursday Night Live. Internet access is spotty at my parents' house.
Here's the Auburn situation at this moment:

Pork product substance.
You're ahead of the curve here, ehyou.
Evidently. Safe travels tomorrow dude.
I'm #4!
Thanks, homes.
You may remember me from such nature films as Earwigs: Eww! and Man vs. Nature: The Road to Victory
does anybody know anything cool to do in fayetteville?
Eat? Sleep?
Watch out for Swine Flu!
Dang that Kentucky game sure is early.
Harrison....call the hoggettes
Cool to do in Fayetteville? Look at it in your rearview mirror or from the plane window as you're leaving.
Kentucky?
Yep. Kentucky. Check it out now, funk soul brutha.
Harrison: Freshmen.
The Kentucky game is 7:30 eastern, I thought.
I'll bet there is a bowling alley in Fayetteville. You should go there.
i hear the arky "scenery" is quite impressive
I am now Lego David Bowie.
Respect my authority.
Freshmen and bowling alleys. Ahhh, life on the road!
i suck at bowling..maybe putt-putt
Jay G, my avatar vs your avatar in the tunderdome. who wins?
Lego David Bowie.....Meet Eric Cartman.
Well, according to my "go-to" source for AU related news:

Now cropped so you can see his differently colored eyes upon closer inspection.
Lego Rock Band drops Nov. 3.
JGT must say I love the videos.....
I enjoy getting players under the Radar that pan out. Auburn has had many over the years. Bates seems to be a realy good find.
Don't mess with Ziggy. He could lick 'em by smiling.
Good one Norm. Good think I'll be up for my run at that time.
Lego Rock Band? wow. somebody's making a fortune.
Yes. I had a.m. instead of p.m. for the Kentucky game for five minutes. It's a big deal. We're all going to die.
I want them to make "rock band:worst songs ever". full of really crappy bands and songs. that I would buy
Experience Fayettville
Things to do, courtesy of the Fayettville Chamber of Commerce.
I'm sticking with Freshmen, final answer.
Harrison: It's called Guitar Hero World Tour. Stink pile of ... nastiness.
JGT - PLEASE don't add me to your butt-kicking list. My history shows that I like to jump on any opportunity I find. I believe Phred can most recently attest to this.
i don't want to die yet. we're undefeated. dang it JGT!!!!!
Jay...
With all this talk about the likelihood of Gus Malzahn taking a HC job down the road, what are some likely candidates to replace him who operate the same system. Malzahnites if you will!
ok. I'll be sure to buy it and never play it.
Didn't even notice JGT, my mind just said pm and went on to the next subject
The HABOTN editors strike again. DUm dum dummmmmmmm.
Martini with the happy hour cocktail question....
When you make typos, it makes me not want to read your blog, Jay G.
yeah, I didn't even look at it. Fact is, I never look at it. I don't care what Jay G's schedule looks like. He always comes through with good stuff.
I just added an old friend on facebook.
He's now into simulated Sir Lancelot stuff ... chain mail, jousts, daggers, big-ass swords.
Holy cow.
if we were all held to our typos, I would have been banned from here a long time ago. I plan on being banned for something way cooler or dirter than a typo
I'm sure, Michael.
It's basically the same as the world coming to an end, isn't it? Surprised you're still here.
I don't know what is going on at my facebook, I can't remember to look at it. But when I do there is always some strange things happening.
Michael tried to leave your blog Jay but the GABOTN. (gayest auburn blog on the net) made him real uncomfortable.
Jay, I've seen Role Models. That Sir Lancelot stuff looks awesome...I mean lame, I mean lame. What a bunch of losers, right?
...(awkward)
GABOTN? Really? Michael?
not that there's anything wrong with that
I'm not even going to google that one!!
GABOTN-LOL
Wait a minute, isn't GABOTN the Gayest Alabama Blog On The Net?
Yeah, I guess I am attracted to train wrecks, so I stick around. Well, at least straight train wrecks. Not the gay kind or anything. Can a train wreck be gay? I'M NOT GAY!!! Commenting on GABOTN doesn't make you gay, OK?
One of my co-workers had a funny facebook-related thing happen to him the other day. We're sitting at work, and he gets a call from a random New-York number. Turns out, one of his friends from elementary school in New York (he moved to Florida before middle school) who he hasn't spoken to in years found him on facebook that morning, and needed a favor. The guy owns a fish market or something, and was at a trade show in Houston. One of his employees had packed up a few thousand dollars worth of high grade tuna that morning, but had packed it incorrectly, and it was leaking. The airline was holding it hostage at the Miami airport until someone came and repacked it. Dude got on Facebook and realized my co-worker lives in Miami, and called him to ask if he'd go to the Miami airport and repack his tuna. One of the most off the wall favor requests I've ever heard, much less from someone that he hadn't talked to in nearly 20 years.
No that would be GRNBOTN
Gayest Red Neck Blog On The Net
Just how long is forgetting going to take?
True story - A typo on an engineering drawing I was responsible for resulted in a big meeting where I had to present "this is just a typo, the part was built the way it was supposed to be built". We were scolded and then told to use as is.
So yes, typos can really suck sometimes.
And then he hung up on the guy right?
PF, maybe dude got your friend out of a locker last time they saw each other and felt he was owed a favor.
I actually think "pack tuna" is a metaphor, PF. Go check GABOTN for more info.
Is it anything like,
Oh, nevermind.
I hate myself for even asking, but did he go repack the tuna?
Yuk, that even sounds bad!
Read about Courtney Upshaw's "punishment" and look for the below quote.
"Gryzb’s father shielded her from news cameras at the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse Wednesday morning. Her father turned around to yell “Roll Tide!” as they left the building."
no, he didn't go do it. he said he'd try to get over there and left the guy hanging.
That stinks.
Literally.
This is the same man that threw her under the bus when it happened. How cavalier of him!
I hope that girl has someone else to walk her down the aisle when she gets married. The only way I can find this remotely logical is if her dad doesn't think what Upshaw did was wrong (meaning her dad controls and assaults the women in his life). While that's not entirely logical in an of itself, it would explain his crazy behavior. Either that, or he's just a typical Bammer.
Not a great year for Bama fans with this and the youtube incident. When is it, though?
we nicknamed my roommate in college Tuna. I can't even remember why. It wasn't like he was leaky or anything.
What YouTube incident? I missed that.
Father of The Year. Sadly, I'm sure he sees nothing wrong with his actions.
Ricky's rant
You know Sensi, Ricky's Rant.
AUfan, that's what makes him a bammer.
Too harsh to the FSJ's of the world?
present
Gryzb's Dad must be this guy!
Bama Dad
It's the 3rd one down.
E-Bro, you are correct. The Bama fans have no concept of how they are viewed by the outside world.
Saturday is gonna be an amazing day
For you, or in general?
For me and in general
Ahh, Ricky. How could I forget?
Just stayin with big bro again at the FSU Pike house, watchign the AU game in HD on the projector screen they have for te tailgates...tailgating...watching the SEC games...Then either going to the FSU/ GA Tech game at 8 or going to bars to watch the UF/LSU games then afterwards, well we wont go there
jhag, I think I'd pip for LSU-Florida over FSU-Tech live. This weekend's slate of SEC games is not to be missed, especially the one in Baton Rouge.
Looks like Georgia doesn't like guys from Connecticut. What a bonehead move.
FSU-Tech
The Battle of Who Could Care Less
Kharri Fort, supposedly a stud, but how good could competition be in CT?
The Tim Tebow Story (later to be a movie) will be an intriguing part of the Florida/LSU game. What will Florida be after the Tebow Apocalypse, I mean after he graduates.
Will the Tim Tebow story be on Lifetime or Lifetime Movie Network?
probably as good as UT was the year after Peyton left
Steve, don't you mean the Tebow Rapture?
Kirk Herbstriet voted AU #9 on his AP ballot, yay moral victory for me
We will all remember where we were after the Tebow Apocalypse. My guess is that Florida becomes a rolling ball of butter knives. Sure, they can hurt you, but it is not nearly as likely to be fatal.
Florida will continue to be a great program. It's hard not to be with that setup unless you hire someone like Ron Zook.
People talk about Tebow and the 2 national titles he's won. he certainly played a meaningful role on the 2006 team, and Chris Leak looked barely beyond average a lot of the time (notably against us), but they still won the national title, and it only had a little to do with Tebow.
Consider the Tebow ramification. Tebow has already changed the world. If he had went to Bama, Shula would still likely be caught in the headlights and Saban would still be trying to teach fish to play football. Tuberville would still be at Auburn and likely running out of fingers. We would never know the power of the Chiz. God bless time Tebow.
You can say what if about anything...
I agree with E-bro with the talent that Fla. gets every year hey will do beter than avg and even great. Meyers seems to be a good coach and unless they get a numbskull they will continue to win.
Ummm, I believe i just did:)
What if Nick Saban was at Auburn
Rook is actually a pretty good coach. I think he would have also been successful at Florida. Those gators just aren't patient. Florida isn't as hard of a place to win as Auburn, but the fact that FSU and Miami are down must help a lot.
Question for the older generation of Hotties. I'm reading Maisel's aritcle on espn.com and he's talking about how the SEC decided what the permanent East-West matchups are every year. Obviously it's Georgia for us, but my question is for the older hotties is this: Does it still feel weird playing the slate of SEC games we do year in and year out given who our traditional rivals use to be before the merger in 1992?
I'm talking especially about Florida and Tennessee. Auburn-Tennessee in the 80s is what Florida-UT was in the 90s and Auburn-LSU this decade (when played in Auburn anyway). It was the September SEC game that set the standard for the rest of league play. And Florida was a part of Amen Corner and we've played them I think more than any other SEC opponent except Georgia.
I guess you could also talk about Georgia Tech before they left the conference.
Then I would be an Ole Nutt fan.
Florida and their defense will roll in this game with or without Tebow.
Very strange. The tenn and Fla series were really great and I still miss playing Ga Tech and them being in the SEC. I would swap them for SC in a heart beat.
Ciao Hotties!
I hated losing both the Florida and Tennessee rivalries, although in general our schedule got easier because of it. The UT game use to be an elimination game. The loser there was pretty much out of the SEC race. It was typically about the third game of the season. Florida was always a good rivalry.
On the other hand, we use to hardly ever play LSU, who has become our biggest rival since the split. It may be the most entertaining series in the SEC since the split.
I am a PiKA.
Enjoy your stay in OUR house, jhag.
As an aside: The moment I knew I had to be a Pike is when I watched the Pikes at Tulsa U. fire a cannon, like the kind pirates used, into the KA house.
Man, that's COOL.
Yo 2.0 where you been?
The FSU chapter has the largest fraternity house in the nation, not tooting anyones horn, just sayin
Jhag, that sounds like a great saturday (if i was 10 years younger). you're my hero.
I disagree with this "Eddie" character about LSU-Florida unless he makes "roll" a less ambiguous term. W/o Tebow, I think LSU wins a close game. W/ Tebow at 100%, I think UF wins a close game. If Tebow plays but isn't really 100%, I have no idea except that I still think it's a close game either way.
Digger- I'm in the land of pasta and pizza
At least Jay G decided not to be a Pike after watching the Texas Tech Bell Ringer
Let me be clear....Florida wins by 10 with or without Tebow. They Roll!
I thought you had returned but guess not. Continue to have a great time!
Never get tired of the Texas Tech bell ringer. Poor guy.
Still think 10 points is too much Bro, especially if you are saying even w/o Tebow. With Tebow, I could see it. Not w/o though.
If Florida shuts down the LSU running game which is a pathetic 10th in the league, how will they score? LSU's pass attack is worse then UT's. Sorry. Florida wins by 10 easily.
Safely escaped from West Gomorrah. The scenery was dreadful. The recent recruiting success has not carried over into other areas, if you get my drift.
As to E-Bro's question, I guess I have adjusted -- sad to say -- that Tennessee, Florida and Georgia Tech are no longer on the schedule every year.
I hate that generations of AU students will not have the opportunity to participate in a Wreck Tech Pajama Parade -- or at least the night before.
Those three were great series, but what do you do differently? If we could only keep one after expansion, it had to be Georgia. As for Tech, I am known in these parts as a one BCS non-conference game per year proponent. I don't think we can lock ourselves to just the same school each year.
i can watch that bell ringer video all day long and it's always funny
How in the hell did Charles Scott get SEC offensive player of the week award?
charles scott had the career high of 95 yards on 19 against craptastic uga defense. Ben Tate had 128 on 25, against a higher ranked defense.
Thanks Bro. Jet for the feedback. I definitely agree on making UGA the permanent East opponent. Was never really a decsion to be made there. Just was wondering about the longing for the other series.
Eddie, LSU's passing offense is worse than Tennessee's? Do you even watch SEC football? ;)
For Florida to beat LSU, their offense will need to look much better than it did against Tennessee. LSU is one of those teams that will keep games close, regardless of the opponent.
Tuberville speaks on the AU/Arky game:
“I think they win by three touchdowns,” Tuberville said of Auburn. “Arkansas can’t stop a cold but they’ll try to score some points.”
“They’re not real good,” Tuberville said of the Hogs. “They can score on you. They can’t play defense. I think if Auburn keeps everything in perspective, … they get another win.”
Where was this spirited debate on the podcast?
Bring it, fellas.
Bro- The best Defense that LSU has played all year was Vandy, that's the best. It gets worse from there. So LSU has played some very bad defenses and still ranks at the bottom in total offense and you think they will beat Florida? How does LSU score?
new avatar test...got to get this thing up and working for the rest of the week...
Who is Tubs pulling for in this one?
Where is the new name test? :)
I do think we beat Arkansas, although they are more of a concern than Tennessee or Arkansas.
Oops, West Virginia.
Tubs is no fan of Petrino. That's obvious.
Wait, just remembered Petrino coaches at UA. Nevermind.

The evil empire destroyed Arkansas. We can do anything they can do.
Will continue the discussion about LSU-Florida later bro. But let me say this about the ridiculous UT-LSU comparison. Exhibit A) Jonathan Crompton. Exhibit B) Brandon LaFell. UT has Crompton and nobody like LaFell to throw it to. Not even close.
Will discuss later, now time for lunch.
I doubt that. I am convinced Les Miles walks around with a lucky rabbits foot up his butt.
Tubby about his allegiance in this one...he's for Auburn:
“Hey, I’m a fan, I’m pulling for them,” Tuberville said.
Bro- Agreed, but why can't LSU get him the ball????? That may be the question you need to ask.
Jordan Jefferson has certainly Kodi Burnsed this year.
Sensi, that is a very good comparison.
LSU's problem is OL.
I think the Jordan Jefferson-Kodi comparison is a little much, Sensi. For the most part, he was the one who kept them in the game on the offensive side. He beat a ranked SEC team on the road.
He's not there yet, but he's beyond where Kodi was last year.
Florida is better with Brantley under center. Without Percy, Tebow's passing game is shaky at best. Brantley can get to the ball on a rope, something their mediocre receiving corp needs. LSU will shut down a running game in a heartbeat if UF continues to be one dimensional. (please, don't give me any passing stats that Florida's had thus far against cupcakes as proof that Tebow will throw against LSU. He won't.)
J-z's facebook profile is unavailable. Have I been defriended, or is FB sucking?
Facebook is messing up for me currently.
Bu could you really blame j-z for defriending you?
I brought spirited debate.
no, I tried to defriend myself last week.
J-Z's fb profile shows "<210" posted earlier today. You're probably a victim PF.
Snacks,
I was able to view his profile, but the sucktitude of FB knows no bounds. I can't imagine that he would drop you. But then again, you can be an @$$ every now and then.
Just kidding.
nope. we're still friends. phwew.
by friends, I mean fake internet acquaintances.
My wife's facebook went our for a while a couple weeks ago. You would have thought she went back to cave-man days. she was lost, didn't know what to do.
That's reason #142 I hate facebook
Harrison- Did that mean you had to entertain her and that's why you hate facebook?
In what world is Miami considered part of the top ten list of best sports cities in America?
Why, because they put on a good Super Bowl? Guess what, the Super Bowl sucks as far as sporting events go. Fill a stadium with rich people who could care less about the game being played, put on a big concert at halftime, and surround it with a week of super exclusive parities that the common sports fan could only dream of attending. Yeah, sound great!
Miami is quite possibly the worst sports town I've ever been to. This list sucks.
i would entertain her, but my wife thinks I am the least funny person in the world
If I had to start one or the other, I'd start Jefferson long before I'd start Kodi at QB.
Man, what happened to all the Kodi lovers? Last season I got bashed for saying Kodi shouldn't be the man.
Toddzilla?
I still love Kodi. He's the best man on the team.
SteveFC, I don't want to break it to you, but you got bashed for a LOT of things last season.
Just kidding. Don't have to kill the thread now.
Steve,
Apples and oranges.
Remember, Chris Todd 2008. He was the guy who had a handicapped placard from his face mask. It's a little different now.
Anyway, that doesn't matter.
What I'm saying is Jordan Jefferson 2009 > Kodi Burns 2008. That's all. Has nothing to do with who should have been the QB in 2008.
Not Tate Jay - I love that new avatar!
THT2.0 - i'm sorry I missed your habotn hit&run.
I love Kodi, but the Kodi 08 vs Jefferson 09 comparison is ridonculous. Kodi won two games as a starter (LA-Monroe and UT-Martin). Jefferson has won five out of five.
I know UGA's defense is a joke, but their running defense has been pretty stout this season and LSU bowled their way to almost 160 on the ground.
As for LaFell, he has 23 receptions and five touchdowns (including two big ones to pull it out of the fire in Starkville) this season so it's not as though he has gotten the ball.
If we're gonna talk about weak passing attacks in this game, we have to mention Florida. Through two SEC games, they're averaging less than 130 yards a game through the air. They won't win if that continues on Saturday.
...and they won't come close to hitting 130 against LSU with Tebow in the shotgun.

PF, can we book it even if you delete it?
Or can we delete it even if you book it?
I could buy that PF. I still pick Tebow/Florida on Saturday if he plays at 100% (big if) just b/c of his iron will, but I've just been saying all along I think it will be a close game. It's been 2005 since LSU lost at home at night, and that was Monday nighter brought on by Katrina. Basically, it takes Mother Nature for LSU to lose at home at night.
That or two extra seconds on the clock after a Matt Flynn prayer to Demetrius Byrd. DOH!!

How do you guys compare the current regime to Tuberville?
Bad economy joke. I'm deleting it, too.
Former post was deleted because I was very upset with my sentence structure. That's been a problem lately. Lack of sleep, I guess.
Well, Tuberville was around a lot longer than the current regime has been, so time is probably the most obvious comparison. On a relate note, Tubs won more games than Chizik has.
Yes, but Chizik has lost less games than Tubs.
What's there to compare?
Maybe you could compare Chizik's first five games to Bowden's first five games. Both are undefeated after five.
Is it Puppet Hour finally?
Who has better hair?
Hi 2.0
Mom should be on her way home. I'm fixin' to head home in about 5 minutes.

Snacks- Cheesy? more like creepy.... only a few, most just watch me pass in awed silence; yeah, i'm just that hawt.
I get hit on by creepy italian guys a lot too. It's no big deal
Yeah, they're all prego this or prego that.
I'm sure they like the mustache and the blazer.
who doesn't?
'ello 2.0
