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.
Do it
ReplyDeleteTwo posts, two Scotts. Where are ya, Scottie B.?
ReplyDeleteHere's the leader of the morning puppet hour in North Alabama....
ReplyDeleteSorry for the poor quality of the photo. I took it with the only thing I had...my iPhone.
Puppet Hour
I bet THT's really really mad right now
ReplyDeleteGo Cinci. I've disliked USF for a little over 2 years now.
ReplyDeleteTwo Scotts, a Bama faker and a fake Bammer...not exactly what I was hoping for. :)
ReplyDeleteFSJ...
ReplyDeletePuppets are scary to begin with. That one's got a little something extra.
ehyou it was weird..I wish I had been able to see what the sign on the dude's back said.
ReplyDeleteYeah, PF, you didn't exactly take us out at 88 with a bang (or a "Beasley") on the last thread!
ReplyDeleteHe's a crazy preacher dude. Sayw him in ATL this summer. Says I'm, headed for Hell.
ReplyDeletethe sign is a bible verse and some mumbo jumbo.
ReplyDeleteooooohhh....Faker,
ReplyDeleteIs that a bammer hat on that puppet's head?????
It sorta looks like it missinit...
ReplyDeleteMy Aubie sister pointed that out to me.
Sound like the puppet is on the southeast circuit.
ReplyDeleteI don't care b/c I hate Notre Dame, but how much do y'all think Notre Dame fans hate Mark May on a scale of Pinochet to Hitler?
ReplyDeleteI'd need to see the latest dictator top 25 rankings to give an accurate answer.
ReplyDeleteI'll see what I can work up Scott.
ReplyDeletewhoa...Hitler was a puppet....that explains alot.
ReplyDeleteThe puppet guy was here in Flo-town not long ago. The only part of teh sign I could read said someting about Ronald Reagan being teh "1st Anti-Christ".
ReplyDeleteHere's a Top 10 from 2007, but I think it's mostly based on how many people they were estimated to have had killed. It could be that Mark May is only at Dear Leader level.
ReplyDelete1. Josip Broz Tito of SFR Yugoslavia
2. Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union
3. Adolf Hitler of Germany
4. Pol Pot of Cambodia
5. Ante Pavelic of Hitler`s Croatia
6. Idi Amin of Uganda
7. Pinochet of Chile
8. Benito Mussolini of Italy
9. Jean-Bedel Bokassa of Central African Republic
10.Kim Il Sung of North Korea
Cincy is up 3-0.
ReplyDeleteHey Hotties.
ReplyDeleteWhy the heck would anyone allow an U2 concert on the field in football season?
I'm off to listen to Tiger Talk on the way to pick up my daughter from gymnastics. Have a good night everybody! WDE!
ReplyDeleteSurprised to see Tito at the top. Not sure he even cracks my top 10. Don't know much about Bokassa.
ReplyDeleteEddie - 1 reason: money
ReplyDeleteRegular rules don't apply to U2.
ReplyDeleteWhy all the talk of Cinci as a BCS Buster? Aren't they in the Big East? Technically a BCS conference.
ReplyDeleteUSF QB looks like he has a strong arm, but I'm not sure he has any velocity other than high.
ReplyDeleteTime to watch Delta State @ UNA.
ReplyDeleteOh look at that... 35 seconds in and it's 7-0 UNA
Okay, I'm not gone just yet. Maybe people are calling Cincy a BCS buster, as in the BCS Championship Game, not just a BCS bowl (they were in the Orange Bowl last year).
ReplyDeleteBut even so, if a team from a BCS league is in the Title game how is that busted?
ReplyDeleteUnless, of course the entire system is busted...
True. I guess just from the standpoint that if UC gets in, most people will think there is a better team getting left out. Btw, that QB from USF looks pretty good so far. I thought they would fold once Grothe went down.
ReplyDeleteSo the puppet spoke ill of Reagan?
ReplyDeleteThat'll buy him a one-way ticket on the hell train.
Big East needs to be demoted, or maybe the Big 10....
ReplyDeleteBig Least
ReplyDeleteBig 10(11) slow schools
...or maybe the ACC.
ReplyDeleteI've said this before, but I think USF has a chance to become a top 10 program in the coming years, the same way Miami and FSU came out of nowhere in the 1970s and 1980s. Great location, big university, and they could come to dominate the Big East in the coming years.
ReplyDeleteAgree E Bro
ReplyDeleteLevitt has done a great job.
I'll say this....Saban is on a roll tonight on his radio show.
ReplyDeleteWhat's he saying, FSJ?
ReplyDelete"They are a defense that wants to get off the field on third down." -- Craig James, helping us out with the obvious.
ReplyDeleteRambo plays for Delta State. Xavier, not John J.
ReplyDeleteFSJ- Is he on fire? Stop, Drop & Roll?
ReplyDeleteInteresting Bearcat stat. In its last two games, Cincinnati's opponents have possessed the ball for at least 40 minutes and still won. Have they already said that on the coverage?
ReplyDeleteUNA has more rush yards than pass yards at this moment. A rarity for a Terry Bowden team.
ReplyDeleteI mean, the opponents have stil lost, not won.
ReplyDeleteSensi...
ReplyDeleteHe's on a roll about the crowd affecting the game and stuff like that.
Not quite like he got before the Miss. State game last year but it was getting pretty close. The host said you seem wound up tonight..He said I'm just ready to roll.
Jesse Palmer is too busy combing his hair to bring that kind of substance.
ReplyDeleteAnd this classic by Chris Fowler ... "Cincinnati rushes three, drops nine into coverage."
ReplyDeleteThe Bigeast race is compelling, 4 good teams fighting it out for the championship: West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Cincy & USF.
ReplyDeleteFSJ,
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't think he'd have to fire up the Bama faithful. I mean, you guys are the number 2 team and all. Just find that interesting. Maybe he just needs a hug.
Faker, maybe he doesn't like he doesn't like being oh-for-Spurrier.
ReplyDeleteTony Pike - Heisman candidate?
ReplyDeleteYeah, right.
Nick Saban is on edge about his fans like Lou Dobbs is about immigrants.
ReplyDeleteFowler just said "B.S."
ReplyDeleteWAR DAMN EAGLE I SAY!
ReplyDeleteJust wait till Bama loses one, then he will be all over the fans. He will breakout his Ricky Rant.
ReplyDeleteCincy may be there, but they left their playbooks at the hotel tonight.
ReplyDeleteI want to hear Ricky's Rant if they do lose one. Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteHopefully ya'll won't get to hear that.. :-P
ReplyDeletePF - I was enjoying MrsTHT's cooking way too much to be mad.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to download the latest Auburn Football Insider Podcast available for Free on ITUNES
ReplyDeleteHow did USF come up with Bulls as a mascot?
ReplyDeleteThe first 90 seconds of this week's AFIP is killer.
ReplyDeleteUSF #3 looks faster than our FAH.
ReplyDeleteFSJ- After the last game would be best. You know we are winning out, beating Florida and losing to Ohio State in the BCS Championship game.
ReplyDeleteBad pass. Bad, bad pass.
ReplyDeleteI think USF should stick to the run
ReplyDeleteDid you see that interception and return! Wow!
ReplyDeleteFlorida don't want none. Fear the three Tebow/Meyer.
ReplyDeleteBartender..i'll have whatever Eddie is having.. :-P
ReplyDeleteSensi your answer
ReplyDeleteHow bad is Florida State this year? Oh and to top it off, Bobby says he wants to coach next year. Way to take a program back to where you got it. He needs to go badly. Glad i'm not an FSU fan.
ReplyDeleteInteresting stat being bandied about Meyer this week. He's only 7-6 against the SEC West (he's only lost 9 times period at Florida). Any more proof needed as to which division is the best?
ReplyDeleteThat said, it's not really a Meyer-centric stat. Going back to Spurrier, Florida has historically struggled much more against Western Division teams (struggle being a relative term) than against the East (can you say Vandy, Kentucky and South Carolina).
Thank you, THT.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read the story of the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs?
Scott Coats, you have a brother , D?
ReplyDeleteEddie,
ReplyDeleteIf I were an FSU fan, I'd cut myself.
and if so, S Coats, did said brother D get beat up on the front steps of church when he was about 12?
ReplyDeleteNo coach has the right to wreck a program.
ReplyDeleteIt's a privilege. Remember that.
At least Bryant was only three years removed from a national championship when he retired.
ReplyDeleteWell, getting fired is a Bowden tradition that his sons started, so I think he just wants to live up to tradition.
ReplyDeleteat least the Banana Slug is native to North America, unlike the bearcat.
ReplyDelete"The Pacific banana slug is the second-largest species of terrestrial slug in the world, growing up to 25 centimetres (9.8 in) long"
ReplyDeleteThat's just gross!
FSJ, you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge on the Bryant (for obvious reasons), I know he passed away not long after coaching his last game. Was he already sick or was his death sudden?
ReplyDeleteSensi's a Bammer, maybe he'll know.
Leave it to tree-hugging hippies to pick the coolest mascot.
ReplyDeleteI forgot the last time I was peeing on that piece to grass to look at the dates, E Bro.
ReplyDeleteHe was very sick. He had a stroke during the 1980 fall camp and kept it quiet and was on the field for the season.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have read his doctors tried to get him to retire sooner but he wouldn't for whatever reason.
At least Dye knew when to retire....
ReplyDeleteRaise your glasses to Dye
ReplyDeleteGruden has really showed some personality since leaving the NFL. I like the guy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Faker, I figured it wasn't a coincidence that he died so soon after coaching.
ReplyDeletewell, I'll never be able to say I have a banana slug in my....
ReplyDeleteerr, maybe I shouldn't finish that.

ReplyDeleteIn case you've forgotten (or like JGT, were too young to remember), St. Bobby took the FSU job just barely ahead of the tar-and-feathers mob at WVU. He was NOT popular during his tenure there, especially after a particularly disastrous 4-7 season in '74.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that Bryant handled his retirement better than any big-name HC. He knew he was done, even though he said all along that "if I wasn't coaching, I'd probably croak".
Nice throw
ReplyDeleteI just turned to watch North Alabama and Delta State.
ReplyDeleteWow, Bowden needs to push back from the table. Either that or it's true what they say about the camera.......wow!
And just think, Bowden was almost the head man at the Capstone.
ReplyDeleteThat would be your problem now, FSJ.
Tom Osborne went out on top.
ReplyDeleteFreep- Osborne at Nebraska did it the right way as well.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing Bryant didn't handle well was choosing his successor. He didn't have the influence he should have had. Joab Thomas took care of that.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Stallings would have been the choice had it been up to Bryant.
Ironically a poster on Tiderinsider that played for Bryant (Bill Rice I think) swears up and down that had Dooley taken the Auburn job that Dye would have replaced Bryant.
Damn Bro, beat me to the punch there.
ReplyDeleteBowden definitely is the shortest 350 pound guy I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWhich one Peter, Terry?
ReplyDeleteThe one at UNA...wait, the short one at UNA. I think he used to be at Auburn and has a reputation of impregnating young girls. I can't remember anything about him now that he's been taken off the stadium.
ReplyDeletemissinit, who is carrying that game?
ReplyDeleteFaker, many times Dye has related the story where he called Bryant up from Wyoming to ask him if he should quit to go after the AU gig. Bryant tried to persuade him to stay at Wyoming and not go to AU.
ReplyDeleteIt's my opinion that Bryant was hoping Dye would hold out for a shot at the Bama job.
I'm in Georgia. We have it on Comcast ...,CSS.... whatever that is
ReplyDeleteWhat's the score missinit?
ReplyDeleteThe roarlions.com stat page is not working.
CSS=Comcast Sports Southeast, I think

ReplyDelete24-14 Delta State , 2nd QTR, 7:35 left
ReplyDeleteNorth Alabama fumbled on about the 4 or 5 yard line a few minutes ago.
Thanks, miss.
ReplyDeleteOuch.
Delta always gives UNA a hard time.
UNA is my alma mater. C'mon LIONS!
I just saw the picture of Terry Bowden. He is now 2x's the man he was at Auburn....literally.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteEddie,
ReplyDeleteI think he's the same size, he's just been compacted more.
Read this about FSU's student-athletes and explain to me how the compliance people there still have jobs.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when I sign in with the wrong freaking account.
ReplyDeleteRK- He's auditioning for Ghost Busters 3....another sequel I'll go watch.
ReplyDeleteBanana slugs are very cool.
ReplyDeleteBut naming a team after them is just gross.
Sensi, don't forget. This use to be Free Shoes University.
ReplyDeleteHas Aubrey Phillips left the team, or is he still just dealing with some unknown medical issue?
ReplyDeleteStill a good story FSJ.
ReplyDeleteSteve- Medical issues for the most part.
ReplyDeleteHe never go a waiver from the NCAA either, or at least I never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteErin Andrews...caling out Pike's toughness.
ReplyDeleteNorth Alabama scored........
ReplyDeleteDelta State 24 North Alabama 21
4:17 left in 2nd qtr
Man, Terry is quite rotund! Looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.
I thought Aubrey was off the team.
ReplyDeleteI hate it we never got to see a Coach Dye-Erin Andrews halftime interview. That would have been must-see TV.
ReplyDeleteErin Andrews - even more useless on the sidelines now.
ReplyDeleteMy wife turns to me after that with the UC coach and says, "Is she stupid or just doesn't know how to ask questions?"
I laughed.
Could you imagine some of these sideline reporters trying to ask Dye, Bryant, or Stallings some of the crap they ask today?
ReplyDeleteJust don't put Erin Andrews with Joe Namath.
ReplyDeleteAndrews doesn't bother me as a sideline reporter.
Poor Suzy Kolber....
ReplyDeletewho's going to see Sherlock Holmes this winter?
ReplyDeleteFSJ, no way the old-school coaches would put up with the foolishness.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is EA considers herself a "serious" reporter.
Looks good bro. I'll probably check it out.
ReplyDeleteGo find the 1982 Iron Bowl. There was a female sideline reporter, who interviewed Bryant. It wasn't pretty.
ReplyDeleteFSJ - love the picture. A bammer puppet... I knew it!!!
ReplyDeletepants.
ReplyDeletemicheale....
ReplyDeleteI was on the phone with the mrs...and was like "I think there is a dude over there with a puppet."
She was like "you have to take a picture of that.."
Very strange thing to see first thing in the morning.
That puppet was wearing a Meeshigan hat this summer.
ReplyDeleteUSF is a tad thugalicious.
ReplyDeletelong day for me
ReplyDeletecatch the Hotties tomorrow
Night Sensi.
ReplyDeleteUSF QB looks promising, but still needs a bit of polish.
ReplyDeleteFrom Goldberg: There was much written about freshman wide receivers DeAngelo Benton and Emory Blake in August. They've barely played in September and October.
ReplyDelete"Some of them got nicked up, hamstrings and things of that nature, but you're going to see them more,'' Chizik said.
Any of yall familiar with Kige Ramsey?
ReplyDeleteI need a good place to park for Saturdays game
ReplyDeleteAlso..."We've got to sign back-to-back full classes -- we're down so far on scholarship numbers right now,'' Chizik said on the weekly Tiger Talk radio ,"We're going to have to make sure we're bringing in the right guys so there is not a lot of attrition. The attrition is the big deal, so we have to sign 25 every year and keep as many of them as we can around. You've got to get the right guy. It's not always the best guy, because if the best guy is not the right guy you may have them only a year. It's definitely doing your homework to seek the best guy who is also the right guy."
ReplyDeletewtc alluded to this earlier today.
That play is the reason why I'm still pissed we lost to South Florida.
ReplyDeleteNo discipline. Whatsoever.
Storm, depending on which way you travel to Auburn, I like parking at the Auburn Baptist Church next to Cheeburger, Cheeburger, or the old bank right next to that lot. Both charge $20 but it is easy in and out to Hwy 280, especially after a win and College Street is closed for the rolling of Toomers.
ReplyDeleteGroethe is a Heisman quality QB. I don't know about Daniels, although he has looked pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy
ReplyDeleteThat ain't gonna work.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm looking for a decently quick exit out of town, I park on Donahue facing College, as close to the corner as possible. It's not the closest spot, but my exits have been lightning fast.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm hanging around, I park at the fraternity house where I was once a resident. It pisses me off, though, cause those moneyhungry bastards always try and make me pay.
jhag,
ReplyDeleteI think he is some YouTube dude. I saw a video on him last hear. I think he's from Kentucky and one brick shy!
USF is making their 2nd string QB look good. Aren't we playing KY's 2nd string? At least we've had a week to prepare.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the score of the UNA game?
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteIt's still DS 24 UNA 21 with 1:14 left in 3rd qtr
DS has ball on UNA 45 yd line
still 24-21 DS winning
ReplyDeleteThanks, missinit. I was hoping you were still around.
ReplyDeleteHOTTIE HOTTIES representin' tonight.
ReplyDeleteConduscious say: You TOO SLOOOOOoW, Big Snacks!
ReplyDeleteThanks to you too Big Snacks!
ReplyDeleteI live in Madison/Hsv area, and my cable carrier isn't showing UNA.
sorry, i'm late Scott Choco. my bad homes. (responding to post #2)
ReplyDeleteI'm way far away from Huntsville; and comcast is showing it here...
ReplyDeleteThat #10 for USF has really hurt them tonight.
ReplyDeleteOK, why do you take off your helmet? You know what's gonna happen. You know.
ReplyDeleteNorth Ally scores 28 DS 24

ReplyDeleteWant that access the penalty from the 1?
ReplyDeleteHABOTNing on the woman's Palm Pre, and the HABOTN is very nice. Exactly the same as on the computer. Mobile phone Hotties, getcha one.
ReplyDeleteKathy ...
ReplyDeleteI'm in love.
#10 makes a tackle!
ReplyDeleteHow about that, 2 in a row! Looked like a PI to me.
ReplyDeleteJet, did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteThat's what you do coach, scream at your backup QB that's already under fire!
ReplyDeleteA woman who knows the point from which a penalty is enforced ... wow ... what a woman.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, it does that super quick refresh and scroll to the part of the page you were on like Google Chrome does. I wish I had kept this for myself and given her flowers for the anniversary thing.
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jet. I know my football!
Big Snacks, get you one!
ReplyDeleteThere's my buddy #10. That was just a pay back call from the missed one on the last play.
ReplyDeleteUNA just picked 6
ReplyDeleteWow, UNA pulling ahead now. Is it in the 4th?
ReplyDeleteWeird, I just got an email from former Auburn punter Richie Nell who apparently reads the blog and was looking back at THT's countdown from the preseason and saw where I mentioned him under honorable mentions for #1.
ReplyDeleteYeah Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThey missed extra point, now 34/24 4th qtr, 10 minutes left
I went to band practice with UNA down 24-21 halfway through the 2nd qtr. Came home with 12:00 left in the game it was still 24-21. I watched for 5 minutes and now its 34-24 UNA. I'm glad they waited on me.
ReplyDeleteSo, was this staged?
ReplyDelete"Balloon Boy" Falcon Henne Admits: "We Did This For The Show"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI6UONWCq7A&feature=player_embedded#
RK's:he's a quick reponder. That was only over a month ago....kinda neat. What'd he say?
ReplyDeleteCool WERK!
ReplyDeleteNO DROPS!
ReplyDeleteHe was giving me grief for only naming him an honorable mention then made a comment about how he "thought it was interesting how people remember us insignificants."
ReplyDeleteI made sure to let him know that he was out there wearing the orange & blue and that meant so there was no way he was insignificant.
Funny thing is, he was there during a time one of my good friends brothers was a deep snapper, so I should have asked him if he remembered him.
Who did Terry Bowden eat? He is HUGE!
ReplyDeleteWell it's time for me to hit the bed, but we've got to flip this page before I go.
ReplyDeleteSomebody push this thing to 200
ReplyDeleteOr I can..
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like.
ReplyDeleteI'm up to the challenge.
ReplyDeleteIt..
ReplyDeleteWhen I say huge...I mean fat. He's still almost comically short.
ReplyDeletedone.
ReplyDelete
