AHHH Florencia, I know the Ponte Veccio well... when I travel Florencia I stay at the Hotel David on Viale Michelangiolo right around the corner to the bridge.
A great location,,,, a great city... I promised to take my wife back....someday
One of the points on your live blog yesterday was denied on the radio....the confirmed. then denied again. With this kind of Brett Favreian waffling, does your reliability depend on the second we happen to tune in.
I stand by all the points made during my live blog of the live blog. Any slight inaccuracies that my updates may have gained during the time it took me to click away from Jay's live blog and post in the comments section are almost certainly inconsequential.
Teabaging at the World of Warcraft tailgates sounds like I imagine a ComiCon convention. Tons of sexual frustration built up, opportunity for it to be relieved, and complete ineptitude when it comes to execution.
JGT - I listened to "Well Thought Out Twinkies" on the way in to work today. Maybe my comments will be well thought out today, but I can't guarantee that.
Paul Lacoste said that the Auburn O-Line hurt him more than any team in the SEC during his tenure at Mississippi state. "They'd block you, but they wanted to hurt you..." 10 years later, I hope the OL is still like that.
well I have read it all and don't understand a damn thing I have read. Since I don't follow or understand basketball or soccer I guess that is what you guys are talking about this morning.
Well the cat woke my up at 5 AM hitting the bedroom door wanting to be fed, so my day got off to a great start...however at least the work day only has 2 1/2 hours left.
I feel you on the clock and the economy. As for ESPNU, I don't get it either, but I'll be meeting up with my local Auburn club to watch the game tomorrow. So it goes.
I do think Boise will be undefeated by the end of the season. But I don't think they will be up to #3. Especially after the Tulsa game. They are "required" to totally dominate to get to the very top
I understand the best two teams in the nation argument, but it seems crazy to have two teams play two games in a row on a neutral site. I though it was ridiculous when the Big Ten fans were arguing for Ohio State and Michigan to play twice in 2006, and so is this.
I think it's likely that we'll have at least one one loss conference champion from a BCS conference, likely USC or Texas, and if that's the case, they should be in the title game. Even a one loss Big Ten champ I think should get in. Maybe not a one loss Big East champ, though. And not Boise State. But if Florida and Bama run the table to Atlanta, what's the point of having them play twice in a row on neutral fields. I just have a problem with it in principle.
Can you imagine having one being the SEC Champ and the other being a national champ?
Yeah, back in 2007, and I didn't think they should have had an argument then, even with all the other two loss teams. Maybe in a playoff, they had a good chance of winning, but in this format, I hate when a team that didn't win its own conference makes it to the big game (Oklahoma in 2003 and Nebraska in 2001).
The Va. Tech argument is interesting, but I think they may lose in Atlanta this week. Consider this, what if Miami only loses that one game to Va. Tech and wins out, but doesn't win the ACC b/c Va. Tech is ahead of them right now in that division.
For an ACC team, Miami certainly has the gravitas of a hard schedule. They should win out, and if Va. Tech loses twice, they'll have a good argument for the BCS Title game.
Everything is conjecture at this time. A lot of what ifs, but like I said, in principle I have a big problem with an SEC rematch. Not saying it couldn't happen. I can certainly see the scenarios where it does happen. I just think it shouldn't.
I think LSU had a right to be in the title game in 2007, but how ridiculous was Miles' argument about how both of their losses came in OT, so they shouldn't count against them as much?
Agreed. If Texas loses, Oklahoma with be a two loss (at least) Big 12 champ, taking that conference out of the hunt. If USC beats Notre Dame this week and Oregon in two weeks, they'll have a pretty decent chance of getting to the title, though Texas is the only other BCS conference team out there right now other than Bama and Florida who truly controls its own destiny.
I got sick and tired of hearing Georgia Fans complain about not getting a shot at the National Championship game in 2007. It made me sick. Try going undefeated and not getting a shot before you come whine to me.
I am in full agreement about the conference winner thing. ( I forgot UGA didn't make it to the SECCG o put them in the spot they were). In my opinion, you HAVE to win the conference in order to play the big game. The only problem that arises is the 2004 situation with 3 undefeated conference winning teams
Yeah, I've already commented on the irony of having us wear blue on Halloween of all days after ten years of Orange. Where's the logic? I'm all for calling blue, but let's time it better next time.
Also, my belated apologies to THT for missing the Beasley post. Won't happen again.
Funny that last yr Ole Miss promoted a "blue out" against Auburn in Oxford. If Snead had not had such a bad game last yr, if would have been a blew out.
Unfortunately I will pick Cleveland. Hopefully we can not have a big brawl this year.
I hate that Rhea Co is struggling so much after a 10 win season last year. My cousin's son is the starting QB for Rhea and last year it looked like he was going to have a successful time there, then they bumped us to 6-A.
Be thankful you aren't living back home. We have around the clock coverage on the LFO football/cheerleaders Bible verse controversy that just won't go away.
Yeah RK, I've heard rumblings about the LFO thing. I'm actually moving back in a week and a half, so I might catch some more of the fallout if there is any left.
Kudos to FSJ for his second Nature Boy callback this week (that I know of).
I dated a girl from Georgia once that in her younger years was obsessed with wrestling. She used to sneak out of her house as a teenager and go with her friends down to the old wrestling shows at the Omni.
Snead played well enough at times last year to be hyped this year. He looks like this: 9 tds,9 ints, 11th best pass accur. in the SEC he's not even in the top half of QBs in the SEC in a year where QBs aren't that dominant in the league. He's awesome.
Not exactly, we had a high of upper 20s and snow last Saturday. It's warmed up now though, so I'll miss the brunt of winter. Hopefully I come back soon for skiing.
Snead played pretty decent ball last year from Bama onwards, especially in November and the Cotton Bowl. Apparently it was just a hot streak for him, though, because he has been nothing short of awful. Worse than Crompton even.
I was in Nashville ten years or so ago for business and the WWF was in town. Some people from work invited me to go with them down to see the show....It was a trip.. My first and only time at a wrestling show. I still laugh thinking about it.
This guy sitting a few rows in front of us got kicked out for getting into a verbal altercation with another fan. But the war of words wasn't like what you and I would do...It was in the wrestling lingo and tone...(i.e...layin the smack down on his candy arse and such)...Like I said, it was a trip.
I was surprised at all of the down time at those productions. You'd have a flurry of activity and then after a match it was nothing for several minutes.
I hope the blood splatters are not fake. I'm all for it if the team eats babies to get them hyped up, or Eltoro finally figures out how to know someone's head off and blood goes everywhere.
I still think you don't even attempt it. Even if you do, Mrs. Jet pulls out the "quit being a whiny ninny and sit your butt down." Either way, you stay in the stadium.
For Jet's sake, and because I respect him so much, I won't dwell on it. I'll just say this. Auburn's school colors are orange blue. It seems like all our other sports wear some orange unis here and there. I don't think it's the be all end all, but it would be okay with me. I still prefer blue to orange, but I wouldn't mind breaking it out one game a year.
Like I've said before, instead of blue in Baton Rouge, let's wear orange. It never feels quite right watching us wear blue down there in Tiger Stadium anyway.
Mr. and Mrs. Jet have been married 20 years. She gave quit going to games with me looooooong ago.
For those of you who wish to spice things up or try a new wrinkle, I appreciate your energy. I, however, am an unabashed traditionalist.
You kids have a nice Friday. I've got stuff to do before the Battle of Ida Belle Young Park (STJ vs. Catholic). Pull 'em through tomorrow, I will not be in attendance.
I may check in later this afternoon, but I'm not sure.
HOLA and HOLLA to the HOTTIES -- even those that want to change the uniform -- kids today! Just kiddin'.
Let me first state that I am not for the wearing of orange jerseys. I am pretty much of a traditionalist. I don't even like it when the basketball team does it. I'm not even a big fan of inter-league play in MLB.
However, I must present a hypothetical to Jet:
What if AU breaks out the orange jerseys for the IB, you leave, then in your vehicle listening to RB (your favorite), you hear AU pulling off the miracle victory? Do you still enjoy it? Upset that you left or not?
I dunno, the football team has worn orange before. Every other team wears orange at some point. Orange is one of out two colors (white is not). I don't see how orange is defying tradition. It's not like it's a brand new concept.
Again, I want to keep the blue jerseys mainly, but when football players started wearing face masks, did purist reject that as well? Did Alabama Polytechnic Institute graduates reject the name Auburn at first?
Speaking of orange jerseys, am I the only one who thinks Florida should pull those out of retirement and put them on the Gators?
There's already been at least one terrible puppet hour this week. You may have thrown out your "Cake or Death" quote too early. I know that's Eddie Izzard, but it reminded me of two Monty Python scenes:
The best thing about cold weather is the extra pockets. In hot weather, my keys, phone, Ipod, chapstick, spare change, and whatever else gets shoved into my two measely shorts pockets. But cold weather is like a Pocket Wonderland with the bonus jacket compartments. October should be renamed Pocketober.
That's the thing about HABOTN though. I don't want to name names, but I think sometimes people post things without having a real point to their comment. I think that really hurts the integrity of the blog.
Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear your partner has been turned into Dracula.
Next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham! You just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, 'Think again, batman.'
Substance
ReplyDeletei've got italian substance for you Dear Leader
ReplyDeletewhy aren't you in classs?
ReplyDeleteFinished early and i got a 90 on today's practice practical; 94 was the highest score.

ReplyDeleteFlorence, SC, isn't such a bad place, but I think I'd rather be in Italy, too.
ReplyDeleteookie badookie
ReplyDeleteDL - 2.0 lives within a stone's throw of the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi. It's a tough life, but somebody's got to do it.
ReplyDeletenow I'm craving a cookie.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Michael.
See y'all later, got to go get me another AU license plate.
does 1000 feet really make that much difference in oxygen supply? 5000 ft. 10000 ft. Sure. But 1000? Not so much.
ReplyDeleteAHHH Florencia, I know the Ponte Veccio well... when I travel Florencia I stay at the Hotel David on Viale Michelangiolo right around the corner to the bridge.
ReplyDeleteA great location,,,, a great city... I promised to take my wife back....someday
Tuned in
ReplyDeletewhattup J-Kev?! holla!
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteOne of the points on your live blog yesterday was denied on the radio....the confirmed. then denied again. With this kind of Brett Favreian waffling, does your reliability depend on the second we happen to tune in.
Hooray for 2 segments
ReplyDelete3 cheers for multiple hate segments. PF with the early shout-out. naked Chiz? really? nice.
ReplyDeleteI don't have pictures -- despite what Michael who may or may not have live blogged that during yesterday's live blog.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to make HABOTN radio happen.
ReplyDeleteGlad I tuned in early to catch the 1st segment.
ReplyDeletecalling out Maddie on radio? ha.
ReplyDeleteJay's bringing the hate especially strong this morning.
ReplyDeleteWill Lowder fly Tub up to Louisville?
ReplyDeleteI stand by all the points made during my live blog of the live blog. Any slight inaccuracies that my updates may have gained during the time it took me to click away from Jay's live blog and post in the comments section are almost certainly inconsequential.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear the naked Chiz info is making its rounds.
ReplyDeleteRK- Yeah, Coach since that is all he can afford these days.
ReplyDeleteScottie B with a completely random and unrelated shoutout.
ReplyDeleteA great read on why Pat Dye Field drains so well, as everyone saw at the West Virginia game.
ReplyDeletethanks for the shout-out. not sure who that "we need a winner not a loser" guy is. definitely NO friend of mine.
ReplyDeleteTeabag?
ReplyDeleteDespite rumors to the contrary it wasn't me.
ReplyDeleteHowever Sensi lives in the Auburn area, and we know he always picks against us.
no friend of yours? Can he not dance if he wants to?
ReplyDeleteBest segment on radio. Period. Those guys are great, and the anti-chemistry Jay G brings works perfectly with them.
ReplyDeleteBack to the Arrested Development topic from yesterday.
ReplyDeleteTobias "Don't leave your Uncle Teabag hanging".
George Michael "Don't call it that"
everybody's outta control!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnti-chemistry. I like that idea.
ReplyDeleteTeabaging at the World of Warcraft tailgates sounds like I imagine a ComiCon convention. Tons of sexual frustration built up, opportunity for it to be relieved, and complete ineptitude when it comes to execution.
ReplyDeleteT-Bag was a great character on Fox's 'Prison Break'. i loved that show.
ReplyDeleteWe've got conflicts now. Was it arrested development or prison break? Similar but very different show.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record, I don't play WoW and wouldn't play WoW.
ReplyDeleteI've kissed a girl, which means I'm not in the WoW target demo.
JGT - I listened to "Well Thought Out Twinkies" on the way in to work today. Maybe my comments will be well thought out today, but I can't guarantee that.
ReplyDeleteComputers are for nerds, period. That's why I stick to D&D here in the REAL world.
ReplyDeleteWow Jay, that hurt here (points to heart) and here (points to head).
ReplyDeleteWhat up peeps?
ReplyDeletei've kissed a girl and i like it.
ReplyDeleteMe too Scottie
ReplyDeletePaul Lacoste said that the Auburn O-Line hurt him more than any team in the SEC during his tenure at Mississippi state. "They'd block you, but they wanted to hurt you..." 10 years later, I hope the OL is still like that.
ReplyDeleteok hotties, i'm out. next stop Plainsman Park. WDE & keep HATE alive.
ReplyDeleteBEAT KENTUCKY!!!!!!!
safe travels, amigo.
ReplyDeletewell I have read it all and don't understand a damn thing I have read. Since I don't follow or understand basketball or soccer I guess that is what you guys are talking about this morning.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason this picture made me laugh...
ReplyDeleteThe Hat
FSJ ...
ReplyDeleteForrest Gump. That's who he is.
Is he proposing?
ReplyDeleteI snicker every time I think about Les Miles being at LSU with all that talent.
ReplyDeleteAdministering resuscitating shock...
ReplyDeleteTrying the Fred Sanford "I'm coming to join you Elizabeth" fake heart attack routine to get a penalty flag picked up...
ReplyDeleteClear...
ReplyDeleteWe tried.
ReplyDeleteTime of death: 11:33 am
Someone please notify the thread's loved ones.
beep...beep...beep...beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else hating Friday?
ReplyDeleteNo major complaints past the insufferable wait for Saturday. What troubles you Scott?
ReplyDeleteI have two tickets for sale for the game Saturday. Face value plus HABOTN discount. Good seats.
ReplyDeleteEmail me if you are interested.
Well the cat woke my up at 5 AM hitting the bedroom door wanting to be fed, so my day got off to a great start...however at least the work day only has 2 1/2 hours left.
ReplyDeletePlantar fasciitis, the economy, the clock (not moving fast enough, hunger (mine, not the world variety), and to top it all off, I don't get ESPNU
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the clock and the economy. As for ESPNU, I don't get it either, but I'll be meeting up with my local Auburn club to watch the game tomorrow. So it goes.
ReplyDeleteSensi..
ReplyDeleteI'll take em..
Just kidding.
Let's see if I can get this thing going again.
ReplyDeleteThe possibility of Alabama and Florida playing twice this year: ridiculous? I think it is. Any thoughts?
E-Bro,
ReplyDeleteIt all depends. Will Texas also be undefeated at the end of the year, then no.
If Boise is # 3 when Florida and Alabama play for the SEC title, then yes.
I agree E-Bro..
ReplyDeleteThe only way I could see that it would happen would be for Texas to lose this weekend and Va Tech to be #3..
And then maybe a close UF loss (3 or less) to Bama would be the only way I could see it.
With that said, there is alot of football left so it's a bit premature...but interesting.
Agree with that too RK
ReplyDeleteWith that thought if they are 1&2 going into the SECCG, the losing team will drop below 2 won't they?
ReplyDeletemrtommy...
ReplyDeletewhat if #1 loses a very close one?
I do think Boise will be undefeated by the end of the season. But I don't think they will be up to #3. Especially after the Tulsa game. They are "required" to totally dominate to get to the very top
ReplyDeleteIt would still push them down right? I'm not certain that's why I posed the question. Isn't that what happened to UGA a couple years back?
ReplyDeleteI understand the best two teams in the nation argument, but it seems crazy to have two teams play two games in a row on a neutral site. I though it was ridiculous when the Big Ten fans were arguing for Ohio State and Michigan to play twice in 2006, and so is this.
ReplyDeleteI think it's likely that we'll have at least one one loss conference champion from a BCS conference, likely USC or Texas, and if that's the case, they should be in the title game. Even a one loss Big Ten champ I think should get in. Maybe not a one loss Big East champ, though. And not Boise State. But if Florida and Bama run the table to Atlanta, what's the point of having them play twice in a row on neutral fields. I just have a problem with it in principle.
Can you imagine having one being the SEC Champ and the other being a national champ?
mr tommy..
ReplyDeleteI think the only way it could happen is if #2 Alabama beats #1 UF by a very close score with #3 Va Tech out there waiting..
So then the voters have a choice of a rematch in either scenario.
I just think if that is the case that UF would get the nod.
No..what happened to UGA was that they were not in the SEC Championship game at all...right?
ReplyDeleteFSJ,
ReplyDeleteYou are right, UGA wasn't in the SEC title game the year they finished # 2.
Yeah, back in 2007, and I didn't think they should have had an argument then, even with all the other two loss teams. Maybe in a playoff, they had a good chance of winning, but in this format, I hate when a team that didn't win its own conference makes it to the big game (Oklahoma in 2003 and Nebraska in 2001).
ReplyDeleteThe Va. Tech argument is interesting, but I think they may lose in Atlanta this week. Consider this, what if Miami only loses that one game to Va. Tech and wins out, but doesn't win the ACC b/c Va. Tech is ahead of them right now in that division.
For an ACC team, Miami certainly has the gravitas of a hard schedule. They should win out, and if Va. Tech loses twice, they'll have a good argument for the BCS Title game.
Fortunately for them, most of the time the BCS thing works itself out with out too much controversy.
ReplyDeleteTrue...
ReplyDeleteAgreed RK..
ReplyDeleteRegarding Miami...I have a hard time giving them the cred they would need due to how bad Va Tech beat them.
Everything is conjecture at this time. A lot of what ifs, but like I said, in principle I have a big problem with an SEC rematch. Not saying it couldn't happen. I can certainly see the scenarios where it does happen. I just think it shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteI think LSU had a right to be in the title game in 2007, but how ridiculous was Miles' argument about how both of their losses came in OT, so they shouldn't count against them as much?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it should either...at this point.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know if I still feel the same after the championship game if we were to be so lucky to get there.
forgot the :-)
ReplyDeleteThere is some depth to this conversaton.
ReplyDeleteI simply believe that if you don't win your conference, you don't deserve a shot in the big dance.
Texas better win this week or they are out.
All of this talk is just silly, how is Alabama going to make the SEC title game after we win out and play Florida in it?
ReplyDeleteI generally agree Eddie...
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that Alabama and Florida are in the same conference..
All of this assumes they continue playing well and winning.
LOL RK..
ReplyDeleteAgreed. If Texas loses, Oklahoma with be a two loss (at least) Big 12 champ, taking that conference out of the hunt. If USC beats Notre Dame this week and Oregon in two weeks, they'll have a pretty decent chance of getting to the title, though Texas is the only other BCS conference team out there right now other than Bama and Florida who truly controls its own destiny.
ReplyDeleteMiles is a doofus.
ReplyDeleteLuckiest man on earth.
I got sick and tired of hearing Georgia Fans complain about not getting a shot at the National Championship game in 2007. It made me sick. Try going undefeated and not getting a shot before you come whine to me.
ReplyDeleteDoes Mark Richt get canned if he loses @ Vandy on Saturday?
ReplyDeleteAccording to al.com...Auburn is asking fans to wear navy to the Ole Miss game on Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThey are calling it a Navy Nightmare.
He won't Sean...
ReplyDeleteBut his star is fading.
Yes, FSJ. We're aware. I do not approve of the name.
ReplyDeleteIf they lose tomorrow, they're staring 5-7/6-6 down.
ReplyDeleteNot to start a war....but that would be a great time for Auburn to break out the orange jerseys...
ReplyDeleteRicht will get an opportunity to right the ship. He'll fire Martinez as DC and get at least one more year.
ReplyDeleteFunny they are asking us not to wear Orange on Halloween.
I am in full agreement about the conference winner thing. ( I forgot UGA didn't make it to the SECCG o put them in the spot they were). In my opinion, you HAVE to win the conference in order to play the big game. The only problem that arises is the 2004 situation with 3 undefeated conference winning teams
ReplyDeleteNow it would cool if they had the whole stadium dress up in Navy and then broke out the Orange on the field. But that seems contrary to the theme.
ReplyDeleteAgreed RK..and Ole Miss' colors are Navy too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've already commented on the irony of having us wear blue on Halloween of all days after ten years of Orange. Where's the logic? I'm all for calling blue, but let's time it better next time.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my belated apologies to THT for missing the Beasley post. Won't happen again.
FSJ,
ReplyDeleteQuit agreeing with me. You'll blow my cover.
Another scenario.
ReplyDeleteWe win out and win the conference title game. Do we even crack the top 5?
I kid, I kid.
Too late RK. We'll just pretend you're a double agent. I'm sure you show up on Bama messageboards as RollTideRK.
ReplyDeleteE-Bro,
ReplyDeleteI refuse to even say those two words together much less use it as an ID.
So, we now know that RK, Sensi and myself work for the darkside. What other powers does FSJ have here?
ReplyDeleteOh, Auburn's breaking out the Blue Helmets and pants on Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI do have magical powers...almost super powers.
ReplyDeleteKryptonite is the only thing that can make me weak.
Like Anakin Skywalker, I'm sure you guys will come good before all is said and done.
ReplyDeleteLOL Eddie.....I knew you'd be for it.
ReplyDeleteFunny that last yr Ole Miss promoted a "blue out" against Auburn in Oxford. If Snead had not had such a bad game last yr, if would have been a blew out.
ReplyDeleteThey did last week against Alabama..
ReplyDeleteWorked out well for them.
Come on RK, you've never said, "roll tide roll, around the bowl and down the hole, roll tide roll"?
ReplyDeleteOk, you got me on that one E-Bro...and I may have also said Payroll Tide before.
ReplyDeleteBro's got a point RK. I call you out for the liar you are!
ReplyDeleteWhat about my favorite...Parole Tide!
ReplyDeletePayroll Tide. I like that. To quote the booster from the movie Blue Chips: "The best players money can buy!!"
ReplyDeleteEveryone exposing my lies this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I like the turnaround in this conversation.. :-P
ReplyDeleteE-Bro vs FSJ for the souls of me, Eddie & Sensi.
ReplyDelete"If Snead doesn't have a bad game..." I think the real statement to be made is if Snead would have played a GOOD game. Snead is awful.
ReplyDeleteYeah, FSJ, I was just about so suggest we tone it down with you and RK present.
ReplyDeleteRK, cage match, thumb wrestling, ping pong. What kind of competition are we talking here?
ReplyDeleteI also have the following ID's...
ReplyDeleteHottyToddyRK
GoBigBlueRK
GoDorsRK
GoGatorsRK
GeauxTigersRK
BigOrangeRK
GoDawgsWoofWoffRK
and the always popular
GoCocksRK
I think a scaffold match.
ReplyDeleteDuly noted. Cleveland at Rhea County tonight. Who you got, RK?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I will pick Cleveland. Hopefully we can not have a big brawl this year.
ReplyDeleteI hate that Rhea Co is struggling so much after a 10 win season last year. My cousin's son is the starting QB for Rhea and last year it looked like he was going to have a successful time there, then they bumped us to 6-A.
E-Bro..
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the cage match..
I'm a bammer so I cheat...
I kid.
What about a tiddly winks or a cypber staring contest?
ReplyDeleteWait...what?
The question about the matchup between E-Bro vs FSJ which adds to the drama is who do Sensi, Eddie & I side with?
ReplyDeleteDoes Eddie turn on his own brother? Which side will have the new Four Horsemen?
Sean, Snead played very well last yr except for the Auburn game. Hope things aren't in reverse this yr.
ReplyDeleteE-Bro,
ReplyDeleteBe thankful you aren't living back home. We have around the clock coverage on the LFO football/cheerleaders Bible verse controversy that just won't go away.
The Four Horsemen...
ReplyDeleteWhooooooooooooo!
I'd like to think I can count on my brother and a fellow Tennessean/Chattanoogan.
ReplyDeleteSensi...there's no hope there.
Yeah RK, I've heard rumblings about the LFO thing. I'm actually moving back in a week and a half, so I might catch some more of the fallout if there is any left.
ReplyDeleteKudos to FSJ for his second Nature Boy callback this week (that I know of).
The question I have about that picture is how high is Barry Windham, he looks really messed up.
ReplyDeleteSo getting out of the Rockies before it gets too cold?
ReplyDeleteThat's right....only two this week.
ReplyDeleteI dated a girl from Georgia once that in her younger years was obsessed with wrestling. She used to sneak out of her house as a teenager and go with her friends down to the old wrestling shows at the Omni.
Crrrrrraaaaaaaaazzzzzyyyy..
I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in my picks.
ReplyDeleteSnead played well enough at times last year to be hyped this year. He looks like this:
ReplyDelete9 tds,9 ints, 11th best pass accur. in the SEC he's not even in the top half of QBs in the SEC in a year where QBs aren't that dominant in the league. He's awesome.
Not exactly, we had a high of upper 20s and snow last Saturday. It's warmed up now though, so I'll miss the brunt of winter. Hopefully I come back soon for skiing.
ReplyDeleteSnead played pretty decent ball last year from Bama onwards, especially in November and the Cotton Bowl. Apparently it was just a hot streak for him, though, because he has been nothing short of awful. Worse than Crompton even.
ReplyDeleteFSJ,
ReplyDeleteI was a huge wrestling fan as a kid. Anything from 85-until the early 90's is golden to me.
Well when you combine the legacy of Ole Miss with the record of Houston Nutt it always computes as 8-4.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather endure a HABOTN sissy slap fest than read another freakin' post about messin' with the uniforms.
ReplyDeleteIf I go to the Ole Miss game, and we're wearing something other than our home blues or our away whites, I'm leavin'.
Really? You'll get up and leave before the game begins? I call BS!
ReplyDeleteRK..
ReplyDeleteI was in Nashville ten years or so ago for business and the WWF was in town. Some people from work invited me to go with them down to see the show....It was a trip.. My first and only time at a wrestling show. I still laugh thinking about it.
This guy sitting a few rows in front of us got kicked out for getting into a verbal altercation with another fan. But the war of words wasn't like what you and I would do...It was in the wrestling lingo and tone...(i.e...layin the smack down on his candy arse and such)...Like I said, it was a trip.
I was surprised at all of the down time at those productions. You'd have a flurry of activity and then after a match it was nothing for several minutes.
The blue thing makes it hard to notice Ole Miss fans...unless they catch wind of the arrangement and all wear red, which will most certainly happen.
ReplyDeleteI like Orange unis and scary Halloween music!
Even with dual home unis, do Ole Miss fans generally wear Red anyway? Or do they do as their team does?
ReplyDeleteWe can also have blood splattered on all of our uniforms for the Halloween feel as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope the blood splatters are not fake. I'm all for it if the team eats babies to get them hyped up, or Eltoro finally figures out how to know someone's head off and blood goes everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWhat if we put those fake meat cleavers around the helmets?
ReplyDeleteHow awesome if our defense, instead of mouth pieces, wears vampire fangs?
ReplyDeleteThey run out in blue or orange pants, or orange jerseys, or blue helmets, I'm leaving. Period.
ReplyDeleteCoaches change. Offenses and defenses change. And that's fine.
For me, the uni is the line.
Jet: Super sensative fashionista.
ReplyDeleteI still think you don't even attempt it. Even if you do, Mrs. Jet pulls out the "quit being a whiny ninny and sit your butt down." Either way, you stay in the stadium.
ReplyDeleteFor Jet's sake, and because I respect him so much, I won't dwell on it. I'll just say this. Auburn's school colors are orange blue. It seems like all our other sports wear some orange unis here and there. I don't think it's the be all end all, but it would be okay with me. I still prefer blue to orange, but I wouldn't mind breaking it out one game a year.
ReplyDeleteLike I've said before, instead of blue in Baton Rouge, let's wear orange. It never feels quite right watching us wear blue down there in Tiger Stadium anyway.
E-Bro,
ReplyDeleteThat's not a bad time to do that since LSU wears the road whites at home.
Keep bringing the gospel Bro Jet. Some things should never change.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteExactly to RK, not ballin, though I respect all opinions.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer that we just stick with the normal look, however if we were going to break out the Orange, why not do it on the road at LSU?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what LSU fans thought when they broke out the purple jersey?
Snacks ...
ReplyDeleteA couple of things, and I'll let it go.
Mr. and Mrs. Jet have been married 20 years. She gave quit going to games with me looooooong ago.
For those of you who wish to spice things up or try a new wrinkle, I appreciate your energy. I, however, am an unabashed traditionalist.
You kids have a nice Friday. I've got stuff to do before the Battle of Ida Belle Young Park (STJ vs. Catholic). Pull 'em through tomorrow, I will not be in attendance.
I may check in later this afternoon, but I'm not sure.
HOLA and HOLLA to the HOTTIES -- even those that want to change the uniform -- kids today! Just kiddin'.
Woot.
Later Jet. Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteLet me first state that I am not for the wearing of orange jerseys. I am pretty much of a traditionalist. I don't even like it when the basketball team does it. I'm not even a big fan of inter-league play in MLB.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I must present a hypothetical to Jet:
What if AU breaks out the orange jerseys for the IB, you leave, then in your vehicle listening to RB (your favorite), you hear AU pulling off the miracle victory? Do you still enjoy it? Upset that you left or not?
Dang, I was still typing when he left.
ReplyDeleteApparently, my posts have the same effect on other Hotties that the orange jerseys have on Jet.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, the football team has worn orange before. Every other team wears orange at some point. Orange is one of out two colors (white is not). I don't see how orange is defying tradition. It's not like it's a brand new concept.
ReplyDeleteI know we are all trying to be traditional, but didn't Auburn wear orange unis waaaayyy back in the day?
ReplyDeleteAnd also believe Jet would stay for the game if Auburn came out in orange.
If Jet ever leaves a game because of a uni, I'm gonna don an orange wig and do this.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be so bad if you wore a blue wig.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Kristina?
ReplyDeleteI swear I saw her today.
Cake or Death?
ReplyDeleteAgain, I want to keep the blue jerseys mainly, but when football players started wearing face masks, did purist reject that as well? Did Alabama Polytechnic Institute graduates reject the name Auburn at first?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of orange jerseys, am I the only one who thinks Florida should pull those out of retirement and put them on the Gators?
listen, puppet hour starts in 14 minutes. This is looking to be the worst puppet hour in ages. Step it up.
ReplyDeleteThere's already been at least one terrible puppet hour this week. You may have thrown out your "Cake or Death" quote too early. I know that's Eddie Izzard, but it reminded me of two Monty Python scenes:

Worse puppet government: The Shah of Iran or Vichy France?
ReplyDeletePUPPET HOUR!!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey! Where all da puppet hatas at!?
ReplyDeleteI am leaving work in five minutes, and if the page hasn't been turned (with substance, mind you), there'll be hell to pay!!!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about cold weather is the extra pockets. In hot weather, my keys, phone, Ipod, chapstick, spare change, and whatever else gets shoved into my two measely shorts pockets. But cold weather is like a Pocket Wonderland with the bonus jacket compartments. October should be renamed Pocketober.
ReplyDeleteYou want me to go it alone?
ReplyDeleteBecause I will.
ReplyDeleteE-Bro, as long as you have substance, it is all good in the hood
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing about HABOTN though. I don't want to name names, but I think sometimes people post things without having a real point to their comment. I think that really hurts the integrity of the blog.
ReplyDeleteHey E-bro, remember the time you tried to steal my name?
ReplyDeleteFear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear your partner has been turned into Dracula.
ReplyDeleteNext time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham! You just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, 'Think again, batman.'
Like it was yesterday...or a month ago, or a year ago. I forget, so I guess I don't remember exactly.
ReplyDeleteMy wife picked up a stray cat the other day. We may be keeping it. any suggestions for names
ReplyDeleteAre you gone yet, Michael? If so, I'm unlocking this cage of puppets.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go, because, man, they're gone.
