Thursday night chatter

Hey everyone. I won't be able to make our usual Thursday Night Live session again (that's two in a row), so it's up to you to make it special.

Good game tonight: Cincinnati at South Florida. (USF fans pictured)

Please enjoy and be safe in these treacherous times.

Scott, we asked questions.; 10:07 PM
Kathy said...: Scott, everyone that has turned that game on tonight has commented about his girth! Unfortunately, my cable provider doesn't offer that channel.; 10:07 PM
Scott Coats said...: I'm in Florence, so I see him in the paper weekly at least. I bet he has gained 60 pounds since he was hired.; 10:09 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Good night good people of the HABOTN.; 10:09 PM

Scott Coats said...: Apparently he likes the restaurants here in Flo-town.; 10:12 PM
cincytiger said...: Scott Coats,
I grew up in Florence. Have you lived there long?; 10:12 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I don't remember Flotown being that great for food, but tater tot disagrees.; 10:12 PM
Scott Coats said...: It's ok. Unless you like chain restaurants. Then it's great.; 10:13 PM
Jet said...: Doesn't the Shoals area have some good 'cue, and some famous ice cream place?; 10:13 PM
Kathy said...: Night WERK.; 10:13 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I grew up in Florence, too. Nice place, but Idon't regret leaving.; 10:14 PM
Scott Coats said...: I've lived here 25 of my 35 years.; 10:15 PM
Scott Coats said...: I left for a while, but family brought me back. It's a great place to raise kids.; 10:16 PM
j-z said...: I'm sure the good people of Florence don't either PF. Their daughters are safe again.; 10:16 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Do you have a younger brother? Name starts with D?; 10:16 PM
Kathy said...: Boy those stands cleared out fast!; 10:16 PM
Scott Coats said...: Jet, There are a few good BBQ places. And Trowbridges is about as famous as ice cream gets around here; 10:17 PM
Scott Coats said...: A cousin. with a D name.; 10:18 PM
Jet said...: Yeah ... Trowbridge's ... i know many that rave about it.; 10:18 PM

Jet said...: Ehyou...

Sadly, the Gump area offerings aren't up to snuff.; 10:19 PM
j-z said...: Strangely enough, I've always thought Montgomery was lacking in good barbecue. There's a few good places, but nothing to make you lose your mind.; 10:20 PM
ehyou said...: I bet there's some rocking BBQ on the southside. I also bet you won't be finding it.; 10:21 PM
missinit said...: It's a wrap!

UNA 34 Delta State 24

Dang, Terry is a little chunk!; 10:21 PM
FSJ said...: Gadsden ehyou...; 10:21 PM
j-z said...: Selma...Now Selma has some good barbecue.; 10:21 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Hmmm. Just someone I remember from childhood. Haven't seen or talked to in more than 15 years, though.

Trowbridges. Blast from the past.

Definitely some good 'cue around.

Ha!, J-Z. I didn't learn any of my tricks until I left Flroence.; 10:21 PM
j-z said...: I've hit every soul food place and shack in South Montgomery... it's just not out there.; 10:23 PM

What high school did you go to? And do you have a sister whose name starts with a B?; 10:27 PM
j-z said...: Laney's on Minter Ave near the Bush Hog plant. The large pork sandwich consists of two slices of white bread on bottom to soak the sauce up, a double handful of chopped pork, a Carolina style red sauce, a slice of freshly fried pork skin, and a slice of white bread on top. Foodgasmic.; 10:27 PM
FSJ said...: Most of the places have gone to these commercial smokers that are powered by electricity or gas. It makes for consistent BBQ...consistently bland BBQ.; 10:27 PM
Scott Coats said...: I went to Bradshaw. Class of '92. and no, I do not.; 10:28 PM
missinit said...: Anybody ever had any good bbq in Dillard, GA???

My brother has a shack there. Ribs, brisket, pork, and smoked turkey. His BBQ is awesome....but then I am prejudiced!!!; 10:29 PM
cincytiger said...: I went to Bradshaw also, class of 1977. I'm old! I had a friend Becky Coats at Bradshaw. Kind of sad Bradshaw no longer exists.; 10:29 PM
Scott Coats said...: 30 Rock is back on my TiVo!!!; 10:30 PM
FSJ said...: I don't know if I have ever been to Dillard, GA..

If I ever am I'll stop at his place.; 10:31 PM
Scott Coats said...: Yeah it is. The rock is even gone. It's at the children's museum behind a fence.

FHS has homecoming tomorrow. It just not the same, though.; 10:32 PM
Jet said...: Missinit ...

Gimme a name ... wife has family not far away, and i'm obligated to one a trip a year.; 10:33 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: UNA looks solid nowadays.

SC, You graduated with my older sis in 92.; 10:34 PM
Scott Coats said...: Who is that, "Big Snacks"?; 10:35 PM
missinit said...: on HWY 441, a little red shack on the side of the road. Tomlin's BBQ.

He and his wife run it, a two man show.

They are big in KCBS. They are in charge of the Dillard BBQ and Bluegrass Festival held the first weekend of every August. There are usually 90-100 entries from all over.; 10:36 PM
Jet said...: Missinit ...

Thanks.

HOT PEOPLE ... good night.; 10:37 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I'm a huge fan of bbq brisket. Texas does it the best, but I really need sauce and TX sucks at sauce.; 10:37 PM
cincytiger said...: If you are ever in Red Bay, AL, go to Swamp John's Catfish. It is in an old gas station. You can stop by the Coon Dog Cemetery on the way.; 10:38 PM
Kathy said...: Going to call it a night Hotties. Long day at work tomorrow. Good night and War Eagle!; 10:38 PM
cincytiger said...: SC,
I went to the last Bradshaw - Coffee football game back in '03 (I think 03) That was a fun rivalry.; 10:39 PM
missinit said...: Jet...hold up on that carwash!

Scott Coats said...: Jennifer was the realtor for the couple that bought our house a year ago.; 10:44 PM
missinit said...: Yep,Faker

Steve and Jane Tomlin,

I just went braindead but I think they are the Spamshiners or some such.

tomlinbbq.com; 10:46 PM
cincytiger said...: SC,
What part of Florence are you in? I grew up in Sherwood Forest. I guess it is still there?; 10:46 PM
FSJ said...: Outstanding..

Those competitions are a bit like a tailgate..

Good folks..and alot of fun.; 10:46 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: small world...well, not that small, but is funny for me to be sitting in south florida finding four degrees of separation from some random dude in Alabama...and vice versa.; 10:46 PM
missinit said...: They called me from Auburn when they competed during that monsoon and tornado. Were you there?; 10:49 PM
Scott Coats said...: Cincy, We're in Edgemont. Yeah, Sherwood Forest is still there.

Snacks, small world indeed.; 10:49 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: That ring is at the bottom of a pretty durn big lake. A 9,000-hectare lake.

"I don't care if it's 90,000."; 10:52 PM
missinit said...: Faker, what is your team name?

By the way, they have three sauces they sell but Tomlin's Vinegar is to die for, seriously!; 10:53 PM
cincytiger said...: My hubby went to Edgemont UMC. We both grew up there. My parents moved to St. Louis and then moved back to the area about 19 years ago. They bought a antebellum home out in Cherokee and ran a Bed & Breakfast for awhile, just off of the Natchez Trace. No longer doing that, but still live there. I bet we know some of the same people.; 10:53 PM
Scott Coats said...: Awesome. I'm one of the worship leaders at Edgemont UMC's alternative worship (i.e. guitars and drums); 10:55 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: where the heck is Dillard,Ga? I've never found a vinegar sauce I didn't like, so I must have some of this to die for stuff.j; 10:56 PM
Scott Coats said...: Football is over, my previously recorded episode of 30 Rock has ended, and I've revealed way too much personal info on these interwebs.

I think I'll call it a night.; 10:58 PM
missinit said...: Snacks,

Dillard is in northeast Ga right before you get to the NC line on US 441.

I sell it for them over here in east Ga but they sell it online too at tomlinbbq.com

It my favorite vinegar sauce ever!; 11:01 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 7 games in, and Ovie has 7 goals already....okay, that's all the hockey talk you'll hear from me for awhile.; 11:01 PM
FSJ said...: missinit....

We just started competing this year..

We are hooked.; 11:13 PM
weagle251 said...: What Jay is trying to say is that he's bona fide.
Or at least the Later Familius.; 11:21 PM
missinit said...: Faker,

They started by putting on the festival every year. Think they are working on the 14 or 15th year.

Then got hooked and started judging and now they compete from November thru April.; 11:22 PM
missinit said...: By the way Faker....love your team name!!!; 11:24 PM
weagle251 said...: Ugh, that's Pater. Stupid mobile phone error correction.; 11:26 PM
FSJ said...: thanks missinit..; 11:33 PM
FSJ said...: And our team is a mix of Bama/Auburn guys so we naturally argue over which rib or piece of chicken to turn in.; 11:35 PM
Jet said...: A trip through the HABOTN is like stepping into a veritable Age of Reason.; 6:54 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Good morning everyone. TGIF and all sorts of other acronyms.; 7:02 AM

Anyone else going to the Homerun Derby tonight? Sounds like fun.; 7:07 AM
cincytiger said...: wtc,

wtc said...: Cincy-how long you in Montgomery today?; 7:09 AM
Jet said...: Awesome potato salad recipe ...

Cut the mayo base down some, and substitute cottage cheese. Tastes good and is better for you.; 7:12 AM
wtc said...: Actually I was being sarcastic. I have a great potato salad recipe. It's in the Murano with the other cook books.; 7:15 AM
AUfan said...: Cincy,
I think a lot of locals will be at the Auburn high school game tonight. Undefeated Auburn High vs undefeated Central.

Otherwise, I would like to see the HR Derby.; 7:22 AM
Jet said...: Perhaps we can play Emeril at linebacker.

BAM!; 7:35 AM
mytommyd said...: I wish I knew then waht I know now. I happened to be at the Auburn BBQ competition as a buddy of mine is a judge. Found out though if you're not cooking, it's tough to get a taste. However, we mosied around earlier that night before the rains set in, and got some bacon wrapped scallops that were just unreal!! Didn't expect THAT at a bbq competition.

Thanks for all the barbecue talk gang. War Eagle! Happy Friday!; 7:39 AM
