Thursday Night Live IN ABSENTIA

Hey everyone. I am not going to make TNL tonight.

I flew from Memphis to Tulsa, got near Tulsa, thunderstorms and a low fuel tank sent us to Ft. Smith, Ark. So we fueled up, headed back to Tulsa and the airport shut down. Tornado warning.

So I'm back in Memphis now and chillin.

Please feel free to discuss the Missouri-Nebraska game (or Tiger Talk) here.

Piece.

Scott M. Brannan said...: stay safe JG. we need you at 100%. our depth is really thin around here.; 7:20 PM
FSJ said...: Goodnight 2.0; 7:21 PM
FSJ said...: Well Scottie that just means you will have to step up your game...and your hate in Jay's absence.; 7:21 PM
ehyou said...: I had cabbage for supper. Here ya go.; 7:22 PM
E-Bro said...: I agree that Bowden has been kind of treated rotten this weekend, but it annoys me when the coaches fraternity makes a point to stand together for a person. I know why they do it, but sometimes it's just time to go. Everyone has an expiration date.; 7:22 PM
E-Bro said...: Alabama the quietest #3 team in a while? Agree FSJ?; 7:23 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Checking in; 7:23 PM
FSJ said...: Everybody is quiet but the Gators...

It's all Tebow...all the time.; 7:24 PM
E-Bro said...: Agreed. Bama might be the quietest #3 team in a while (though they have gotten some decent pub about possibly being the real #1), but Texas is definitely the quietest #2 in a while...until the Red River Shootout next week anyway.; 7:26 PM
Jet said...: Cabbage is THE PITS OF THE WORLD!; 7:26 PM
ehyou said...: I get $0.25 every time Tebow's name is mentioned on ESPN.

Retirement is looming.; 7:27 PM
michael said...: Tebow; 7:32 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Evening HOTTIEs.

I think Texas has been quieter than Bama, mainly because of Oklahoma's 2 losses.

If the Sooners were undefeated, we'd be hearing more about both them and the Horns. As it stands, everyone is more or less assuming that Texas will advance to the BCSCG against the Florida-Bama winner.

It's really a shame that USC blew their shot at an undefeated season against the Huskies. It would have been fun to see both them and Texas undefeated at season's end, knowing that one of them would end up being left out if UF and Bama went into the SECCG 12-0.; 7:41 PM
ehyou said...: Kristina, is michael joking? If not I get a quarter.; 7:42 PM
ehyou said...: Holtz dissing Malzahn. Booooo!; 7:44 PM
E-Bro said...: May just mentioned McElroy as a Heisman favorite. I didn't know Bama players were even allowed to compete for Heismans.; 7:45 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Good evening Hotties. Nothing like Oreo's and milk.; 7:48 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: And my daughter Emma starts screaming "Bad A, Bad A, Bad A" as the bama script A appears on screen.

That's awesome!; 7:54 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Hoopie- Don't know if you saw from earlier, but if you had to detour off of 78 today and that's where you saw the trailer, you were about a mile from my house. I live in Mirror lake.; 7:55 PM
E-Bro said...: Go Emma. I miss my niece. Both of them in fact.; 7:56 PM
cincytiger said...: I love it that people on here like Andy Griffith (or at least most of them do); 7:57 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Bro- You know both miss you, but especially Emma. According to her you fly more than anyone in the world since she says every plane she sees is your plane.; 7:58 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Cincy- I'm a big Griffith Show Fan.

I posted this awhile back, but here it is again for those that haven't seen it Andy Griffith Football Story; 8:00 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Cincy, my late uncle and Andy were very close friends. Even had an act together while theater majors at UNC.; 8:01 PM
cincytiger said...: Today has been a very stressful day. I made 10 phone calls to Transunion Credit and spoke to 12 different people (10 of the 12 were in India and did not understand my problem) to try and get a credit freeze that we had put on our account lifted. We're talking about almost 3 hours of phone calls.

I relaxed by going and getting a pedicure and manicure. Beautiful ORANGE polish!; 8:01 PM
Anonymous said...: Eddie..We're looking at doing a Dollar General in Winston, so I drove down 61 from C'ville and went around Punkintown Rd to 78. Prolly got within 1/4 mi. of your place.

Something tells me Bo Pelini will win in the rain.; 8:02 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Hoopie- Good deal. You definitely got very close. I know that route very well. Dollar General's are everywhere around here.; 8:04 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: No offense, but being A) big and B) it's raining, why the hell would someone show up wiht something painted on their chest?; 8:05 PM
cincytiger said...: Hoopie,
I think you were very near Tom's sister's house. They are off of King's HIghway. I think their property is between King's and Punkintown Rd. They had a lot of damage from the floods. Their dams held, but ones further upstream from their land gave way and flooded them. They lost a tractor, front loader, truck, and a bunch of other stuff.; 8:05 PM

Andy Griffith shows are such good theatre, you can generally follow the plot without sound.; 8:06 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: It's not the same without the Thursday night Tiger Talk play by play. I wonder what idiotic questions were asked today.; 8:10 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: That is a tough rain to play in. I already see where the longterm forecast calls for rain next Saturday. Usually it's wrong at this point, so I'm hoping that's the case. One rain game a year is too many.; 8:11 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Which show do you enjoy most....Gameday or College Football Final???

I actually like Final better, even with idiot Holtz.; 8:15 PM
E-Bro said...: I don't watch all of Gameday while watch all of Final, but Holtz keeps me from loving it more than Gameday. That judge and jury segment is ridiculous.; 8:16 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Agreed Bro. The judge / jury segment is crazy.; 8:18 PM
E-Bro said...: It's the McCoy/Cincy/Hoopie show tonight. Where is everybody? I know it's not regular TNL, but still.; 8:20 PM
cincytiger said...: I hate the judge and jury sketch. It isn't funny, clever or entertaining.

I like Gameday because I love Corso. I know I am in the minority, but I do. He knows everyone thinks he is a joke and he doesn't care. Holtz thinks people take him seriously.; 8:20 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I agree with that Sensi, but I guess I just love the review of the day's games better than the preview of them.; 8:21 PM
cincytiger said...: Hey, are E-Bro and Sensi one and the same?; 8:22 PM
FSJ said...: I just about can't stand to listen to Saban's call in show due to all the stupid questions that are asked.; 8:23 PM
cincytiger said...: Or were you talking to me Cincy?; 8:23 PM
Anonymous said...: Cincy - Being that my wife works for a credit bureau, no she can't fix your credit, make sure you call all 3 not just TU; 8:23 PM
Anonymous said...: Cincy, that sounded like I made the fix your credit issue specific to you. My apologies....that was for the general population; 8:24 PM
Anonymous said...: When she tells people who she works for the first thing they say is "Can you fix my credit?"; 8:24 PM
cincytiger said...: AU1N04

We do call all three and our credit is great, we just had them frozen to keep others from being able to check our credit without our permission. Unfreezing them was the problem with TU. The other two were a piece of cake.; 8:25 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Cincy- Nope, E-Bro is my brother and Sensi is another Jay in real life not related to me.; 8:25 PM
E-Bro said...: Sensi and E-Bro are not one and the same. Eddie meant to say Cincy, not Sensi.; 8:25 PM
FSJ said...: Did anybody on earth make as big of a career mistake as Craig James?

He had Herbstreit's spot on the gameday show and bolted for CBS...Now he's back at ESPN being the third leg of a game broadcast.; 8:25 PM
wtc said...: Some of us just lurking. Trying to do some CE stuff and taake a few tests tonight so posting is not going to happen very often.

You guys keep it going. Any news on the 'cruitin' front?; 8:26 PM
cincytiger said...: I know, that's like when people find out you are a dr, they want you to diagnose them or a lawyer and they want free legal advice.; 8:26 PM
cincytiger said...: Yeah, E-Bro, I figured that out after I had posted.; 8:27 PM
cincytiger said...: Thought maybe I had discovered some deep, dark secret.; 8:27 PM
Anonymous said...: Cincy - Well that is good, she used to work for the Bureau HQ'd in Atlanta and left to go to a competitor, not TU.; 8:28 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: WTC- conflicting rumors on Dyer's potential commitment date. Some think tomorrow while other's point to the 23rd. I say tomorrow would be perfect.; 8:28 PM
cincytiger said...: I feel for her if she has to deal with people's credit problems all day. That could get old quick.; 8:29 PM
wtc said...: when is his homecoming game? That is when he is rumored to make his announcement. I thought it would be great to do it while AU wsa in Arky.; 8:30 PM
cincytiger said...: Hubby is out of town so I am having Cheez-Its and a diet coke with lime for dinner. THT would probably die.; 8:30 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I believe HC game is the 23rd which is what I originally heard as well.; 8:31 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: This game is far from appealing right now.; 8:33 PM
cincytiger said...: Eddie, you are in VIlla Rica? My sis in law is in Douglasville.; 8:34 PM
E-Bro said...: Agreed bro. The weather seems to have dampened the atmosphere for sure, if they ever had won in Columbia, MO.; 8:36 PM
Anonymous said...: Cincy..drop the lime then add ice cream and THT will forgive you.; 8:37 PM
Anonymous said...: Not watching the game....catching up on "Talking Football" on CSS via DVR.; 8:38 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: I hate to run, but i'm heading to bed to get some rest. I'll try to stay up for the game, but it will be tough with the way this one is going.

Take care Hotties!; 8:42 PM
E-Bro said...: Later Eddie.; 8:43 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Night Bro!; 8:43 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Can you still have scoreless ties in football?; 8:44 PM
Fearless Freep said...: No, I know the answer. It was a rhetorical question.

At least they have the rain as an excuse. We didn't against MSU last year.; 8:45 PM
E-Bro said...: Can you have scoreless first quarters in the Big 12? I didn't think so until tonight.; 8:45 PM
E-Bro said...: Safety! Now Nebraska will kick a FG to win the game 3-2.; 8:46 PM
Anonymous said...: Mark Schlabaugh says that Walt McFadden is questionable for the Arky game; 8:49 PM
Kathy said...: On Tiger Talk Chizik said he'll be fine for Arkansas.

"We've tried to handle his health really, really delicately this week. There's a fine line between working, and working him too much. We think he'll be ready to go at game time."; 8:51 PM
Kathy said...: AC is limited with a wrist injury:

"It's a pretty serious injury to that wrist, He's a tough guy. He's not going to miss a game. That wrist is to the point where it is hindering him some because he can't do all the things he wants to do. It's hard for him to grab, but, you know what, that kid is playing every game; he's playing hard every game.''; 8:53 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Only 6 more games til we have a bye weekend.; 8:54 PM
Kathy said...: And on LB issue:

Chizik said the Tigers may play more defensive backs because of a lack of depth at linebacker.

"We spend countless hours, personnel-wise, in where we can go from here,'' Chizik said. ``We're looking at more nickel stuff and playing another defensive back.

"We definitely have issues there. We know that.''; 8:55 PM
cincytiger said...: Thanks for the updates, Kathy; 9:00 PM
michael said...: You heard it here first: Walt McFadden will definitely play.; 9:05 PM

We watched a HSFB playoff game in 30 deg..15 mph wind...snowstorm about 4 years ago. We lost.

Rain is more uncomfortable. It's easier to bundle up than to stay dry.; 9:34 PM

Gosh, doesn't everyonelove The Andy Griffith Show? It's only the best tv show ever.

Hoopie - you know me all too well. You are so right at 8:37 pm CDT

I heard that Pens beat Flyers tonight...YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope to be outta here in 20 minutes. Then gotta go home and pack for the weekend and take the car at 7 a.m. to Toyota.

JGT - that sounds like far too many of our air travels,i.e. like most of them :-(

coosa said...: FSJ - If most bammers were as nice as you I wouldn't have such a hard time pulling for them. The fact that I seldom do is good news for you - anytime that I pull for them they lose.

Usually my only concern on who to pull for in any college game is how it effects AU. I pull for the team that would most benefit us with a win. So that usually means pulling for the SEC East against the West, the SEC in general against outsiders, and whoever is playing bammer cause its usually in our best interest for bammer to lose.

But I've pulled for your guys in a few bowl games - they always lost. And a few years ago when we needed them to beat LSU so we'd have a chance at winning the division, lost again.

Why this would be of any interest to anyone, I don't know. Guess it wouldn't. But need to post something every once in a while.

This post is definitely one of my weaker one. Hope it doesn't effect the team.; 10:07 PM
cincytiger said...: Wonder if Jay is still stuck in Memphis or has headed to Tulsa?; 10:22 PM

If it affects anyone, it will be Bama.; 10:23 PM

Hope that Jay G. has landed safely in Tulsa by now.; 5:52 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: That is one long day of traveling for Jay G. I wonder what the time difference would have been if he had driven?; 6:33 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I was flying up to Cleveland earlier this summer and due to mechanical issues we were stuck at the Memphis airport for 6 hours before we could fly up.

That always sucks.; 6:37 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: You can watch the Tennessee Game Tiger Walk for free now at Tiger Walk- Tennessee Game; 6:42 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Memphis airport is darn small and I would hate being stuck there for 6 hours. I've been stuck there for a couple of hours once and that was plenty.; 6:43 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Memphis is huge compared to the Chattanooga airport.; 6:46 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Has anyone heard the nasty rumor that Eltoro will not make the trip this weekend? Maybe that was what Dale hinted at in his earlier post.; 6:47 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: RK- I've never flown out of Chattanooga and I think I may have been there just a couple times as a kid. I can believe that.; 6:47 AM
WarEagleRK said...: What was bad was we just had to sit there because they kept pushing the departure time back 30-45 mins every time so we were stuck in the same place without being able to leave.; 6:48 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I haven't heard anything about Eltoro...however other than using him for depth, it's not like he's a big contributor.; 6:48 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Actually, the best way to fly is chartered. My company chartered a flight to Ocala one time and it was awesome calling the pilot on the way back from the meeting and telling him to get ready to go.; 6:49 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: RK- That is almost like being held hostage. My favorite airport is by far Austin, TX. Very nice, lots of places to eat, drink and enjoy good BBQ.; 6:51 AM
WarEagleRK said...: So where does this Eltoro rumor come from?; 6:55 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I will be having HABOTN withdrawl this weekend. We're spending tonight and tomorrow night in Birmingham for the Allman Brothers/Widespread Panic shows and I'm not taking the computer with me.; 6:56 AM

Kathy said...: Read this on another site. Our Tiger Walk is intimidating folks. Of course, Petrino knows all about Tiger Walk:

"My friend in Little Rock called me last night, and apparently the AR athletic dept. has decided that no Tiger Walk will be repeated again this week. Only this time, they will block off the area where the buses come into the stadium and no visiting fans will be allowed to gather. She never misses a game there so she is familiar with the set up, but she said that the buses will unload inside a fenced area and no visiting fans will be allowed in the area where the buses enter this part of the stadium"; 7:35 AM
cincytiger said...: Don't they realize when they try to say no Tiger Walk, it just makes more people show up?; 7:37 AM
Kathy said...: I'm not seeing anything on Eltoro, but I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed home this week. He seemed to be having issues last game standing off by himself during the second half. Didn't seem to be a team player. And the coaches have made a couple of comments about him needing more work. I really thought they would use him this week to rush that QB.; 7:39 AM
Kathy said...: We are heading to Nashville this morning to do some shopping. I"m praying that those "potentially severe storms" stay away.

Jay 'W. not Tate' said...: Eddie, that Tiger Walk video was AWESOME!!! It was a great atmosphere to be in--one of the best away game atmospheres I've ever witnessed. I'd have thought other opposing teams would've heard how fired up the team was about not being able to have a real Tiger Walk and just give in and allow it.; 8:13 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Tennessee's Vol Walk was just weird. they had the team walk in from one direction and then the band came in from the other end of the street after the team. totally separate. very odd i thought.; 8:19 AM

cincytiger said...: Nevermind, I am just challenged this morning. I got it.; 8:24 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: I thought our Tiger Walk was definitely louder than the Vol Walk last weekend. It was the best away one i've been to since the 2000 bama game in T-town.

Cincy- I tried to link the free side of it, but if you click on free events, you should see the Tennessee Game and that is the video of Tiger Walk.; 8:25 AM
cincytiger said...: Thanks, Eddie, I got to see it. Was it just me, or did most of the players look subdued and a little terrified? I just thought the looks on their faces said they were a little overwhelmed - not sure if that was due to so many people there for TW or to being at TN.; 8:29 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Morning' hotties. I got the best 4 hours sleep last night! I've been sitting at Toyota for 2 hours getting the minivan serviced so it will be smooth sailing when we make the trek for Ole Miss in a few weeks.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: This has probably been mentioned here, but I'm still catching up on all the stuff I missed while stuck at work...

From Goldberg's blog:
Ariton High School's Craig Sanders, who recently committed to Auburn, was named the Army Iron Man of the Week, an award given to the best two-way high school player in Alabama. Sanders rushed for 278 yards and three touchdowns on 33 carries and made eight tackles in Ariton's 35-32 win over Kinston last week. The Tigers will sign him as a defensive end.; 8:39 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Rib & Loin

Eddie, not sure if you know this, a year ago Sticky Fingers built a place right next to the Rib & Loin in Hixson. I guess they figured they were a larger chain so they could run out the locals by building right next door.

Well R&L is still there and that Sticky Fingers place in Hixson is no more.

Quality over chain.; 8:42 AM
Ephemeral said...: I plan to cook bacon tomorrow morning, in solidarity with the Auburn Tigers.

Arkansas could become my favorite opponent, solely for the pork tie-ins.; 8:42 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JayGT's article today is most interesting. I hope that Malzahn's predicability as discussed by the players is something that changes from game to game; i.e. the players know what's coming each game, but the opponents don't because it changes from week to week. I think that's what he was saying.; 8:48 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: yup, that seals it. bacon & pancakes for breakfast. yummy.; 8:48 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i thought the same thing THT.; 8:48 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: RK- That's awesome. Didn't realize that a) Rib & Loin was in Hixon and b) that Sticky Finger's was their either. I love Rib & Loin. Good stuff. The best place in Hixon is the Federal Bake Shop. Best cakes in the world. Still get all my cakes from there.; 8:55 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: all this food talk has got me absolutely starving! I'm so hungry I'm on auto-digest mode. I hope there's enough of me left by the time lunch gets here...

barbecue, puppies, cole slaw, boiled taters, Brunswick stew, sweet tea. YUMMMMMMMMMY!; 8:56 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Eddie,

Rib & Loin opened a place in Hixson 7 or 8 years ago.

Is there a Hatin' w/Jay G this morning?; 8:59 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm feeling confident for tomorrow's game. I'll only get to see part of the first half live :-(

Lord Byron will be DVRing it for me; we got that hooked up on Wednesday!; 8:59 AM
