He passed away today. Was just on the radio a couple of weeks ago and they said he had taken sick. Don't think he was too much older than me. And you're welcome! It's great you have HOTTIES that can keep you in line!
With Ben "The Great One" Tate along with Toddzilla graduating, this is going to be an interesting offseason. Hopefully Tyrik steps in at QB next season. Signing a couple of these high profile tailbacks would really help.
Actually, I thought it was Lebo's attempt to lose or nearly to every basketball playing school in the state. If he returns next year, Talladega and Concordia will be on the schedule.
At the very least Jet. They might decide to have gone medieval on someone's a$$ if they dare try something like that against his Tebowness. Uh oh, was that complaining?!? I hope that doesn't mean a fine, I'm kinda broke right now.
I agree that the suspension for Spikes was crazy that it was a half, but I find it amusing in listening to JOX all day that the bama fans are the ones that are pissed by this and think it should be the year for the most part. It's almost like they are scared of Florida's Defense with Spikes in there. I get that there needs to be more, but for the season? Honestly? Bama fans may need to worry about this game this week before playing Florida IMO.
Florida has a great history of punishment ... my favorite was when Zook was coach.
The Gators were preparing for Middle Tennessee and one of their star defenders was suspended due to some nefarious activity. Unfortunately, one of the hurricanes delayed the game until later in the season. The next gmae on the schedule was Tennessee. So surely the punishment would be served then.
Zook said no ... the player would still be suspended for the Middle Tennessee game later in the season.
I just find it funny that bama fans are upset about Florida's punishment tactics when Bama's standards are laughable at best. I mean, who doesn't forget the ice cream incident. What about the guy that choked his girlfriend this year. How much suspension did he get? Gimme a break.
I had typed something along the lines of "fklajsdfjod" and looked up in the box and nothing was there, then I realized I was using the keyboard for my work laptop and not my home computer.
Good write up, the only thing I would disagree with is the headline made it look like Ole Miss was working it's way down to mediocre. I think they live there and have since Tub took over for Brewer in 1995.
Spikes should get far worse than what he got for the act and for the stupidity of doing it in the open.
Sadly stuff like that happens in football games all the time at all levels, but it usually only happens when you are covered up and nobody can see the act.
Give him 2 games for the act and 2 more for stupidity.
When I was in a high school football game many years ago, my friend jumped out of the pile screaming that someone had grabbed his balls. We were killing this team and I guess one of their players had had enough. My friend was really really really angry and screaming some not nice names to the other team, but I couldn't help but laugh a bit.
I guess the running backs for Vandy, SC, FIU, and FSU are now gonna have to practice holding one hand up edge-wise in front of their face during their runs, a la the Three Stooges blocking a double eye-poke.
I was watching the game and saw the play live when Spikes reached into Ealey's helmet like he was digging around for the keys to his Hummer that he'd dropped into a storm grate. I remember thinking if that was me being gouged, CBS would be running replays over and over of a fingertip or two of Spikes' being spit out onto the field.
Listening to a call in show yesterday that Stan White and Roger Schultz do each Sunday afternoonn and Schultz was asked about the matter and he responded 'If I am in a pile and I feel something soft, I am getting a handful of it and squeezing as hard as I can.'
Great to hear about Zac. Hopefully he is off to a speedy full recovery.
If you are to play Florida then just wear a have shield / visor. It happens. I hate it, but it happens. Pile ups are usually the place of nastiness especially on fumbles.
I just received an email from Mike Slive levying a hefty fine and a 1 game suspension for my criticism of the Spikes "suspension". That is all I am allowed to say on the matter.
NIGHT SUBSTANCE!
ReplyDeleteNo Jay, I can't believe it's almost Amen Corner time already. Where does a football season go?
ReplyDeleteThis season has been FAH.
ReplyDeleteand all Auburn's people said...AMEN!
ReplyDeleteJay, did you know this John Thrower?
ReplyDeleteThis has been an interesting football season.
ReplyDeleteJay, you don't mean Friday the 13th do you? I beleive it is on the 14th.
ReplyDeleteShould we do a navy nightmare on Friday the 13th? Does the basketball team play then?
ReplyDeleteYeah. 14th. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think basketball plays ... Miles College? I won't be there.
ReplyDeleteDidn't/don't know much about Thrower.
ReplyDeleteHe passed away today. Was just on the radio a couple of weeks ago and they said he had taken sick. Don't think he was too much older than me.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're welcome! It's great you have HOTTIES that can keep you in line!
Miles College? Is that part of the broader SEC-SIAC challenge? Is Bama playing Tuskegee that night?
ReplyDeleteFSJ--
ReplyDeleteI do think it is John'Stump"Thrower. He did Third and long on WAUD
This season went be soooooooooo fast
ReplyDeleteDid I see right Homecoming against Furman is a 11:30 game.
ReplyDeleteWhy why why
No TV and no reason for such an early game.
Someone tell me I saw it wrong.
I believe it's a 1:30 game.
ReplyDeleteWith Ben "The Great One" Tate along with Toddzilla graduating, this is going to be an interesting offseason. Hopefully Tyrik steps in at QB next season. Signing a couple of these high profile tailbacks would really help.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I hate playing teams like Furman, I do think it is something we really need. It is basically an extra week off to heal up.
ReplyDeleteDigger, the Furman games kicks off at 12:30 CT.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are right RK but the Gadsden Times misprint listed it as 11:30am
ReplyDeleteE-Bro is correct...it is 12:30 right in the middle of the day...no time for shopping or walking around...I think the city should complain!
ReplyDeleteE-Bro even that would be better than 11:30
ReplyDeleteMike Slive just held a news conference in regard to the Brandon Spikes matter.
ReplyDeleteHe said any fans who complained about the punishment given to Spikes (suspended for a half) could be fined or suspended.
E-Bro ...
ReplyDeleteSEC-SIAC Challenge? Sweet.
Actually, I thought it was Lebo's attempt to lose or nearly to every basketball playing school in the state. If he returns next year, Talladega and Concordia will be on the schedule.
digger,
ReplyDeleteGadsden Times misprint?
Surely you jest...
Good one Jet. Lebo's looking out for the little folks.
ReplyDeleteYea I still read it. It just isn't too accurate.
ReplyDeleteI was just emailed a newspaper article about Stump Thrower by Mike Fish who was with the AJC (may still be) in 1997 when the article was written.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize he was neck deep in the Gene Jelks thing. Interesting read.
A coworker asked me ... if the video had shown Tebow getting his eyes gouged, what would have happened?
ReplyDeleteJet...
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a four game suspension.
FSJ ...
ReplyDeleteI was thinking something more Old Testamenty ... cut off the offender's hand, and let Tebow circumcise him at midfield.
Ouch!
ReplyDeleteAt the very least Jet. They might decide to have gone medieval on someone's a$$ if they dare try something like that against his Tebowness. Uh oh, was that complaining?!? I hope that doesn't mean a fine, I'm kinda broke right now.
ReplyDeleteA half game? What a joke. He might as well serve him ice cream to top off his punishment.
ReplyDeleteRack him!
ReplyDeleteLike I said on earlier post. If you're Meyer, why not just go ahead and do it for at least a full game? They're playing Vandy this week.
anyone have any UGA tickets they want to unload?
ReplyDeletethe half game suspension, aka "the DJ Hall suspension"
ReplyDeleteWay to lay down the law Urban...

ReplyDeleteMichael, Eddie...good points all the way around.
ReplyDeleteOle Miss Continues Slouch Towards Mediocrity
ReplyDeleteDid you guys see the "gbfgb" part of my post? I thought that was pretty clever.
ReplyDeleteGood article Mr. Sensible.
ReplyDeleteThe thing about the Bama loss is that it was at home. They had hyped it as the biggest game in Oxford in years..
And yet they woefully underperformed on offense.
And Auburn would have beaten them worse if not for a kick return and a long run for a TD.
Sensi,
ReplyDeleteGood write up, the only thing I would disagree with is the headline made it look like Ole Miss was working it's way down to mediocre. I think they live there and have since Tub took over for Brewer in 1995.
Michael ...
ReplyDeleteI understand that your "gbfgb" post is under investigation for alleged plagiarism.
Jet, I have always believed there is not more creative thing than to "borrow" other people's work in a unique way. It's all in the delivery, you know?
ReplyDeleteI saw the Spikes video. He should be kicked off the team and banned from the SEC. There is no room for trash like that in the SEC.
ReplyDeleteSpikes should get far worse than what he got for the act and for the stupidity of doing it in the open.
ReplyDeleteSadly stuff like that happens in football games all the time at all levels, but it usually only happens when you are covered up and nobody can see the act.
Give him 2 games for the act and 2 more for stupidity.
So, what should Eric Smith get/have received?
ReplyDeleteSILENCE!
ReplyDeleteTHE GREAT TEBOW HAS SPOKEN.
"I don't think that we did anything in that game that they didn't do."
When I was in a high school football game many years ago, my friend jumped out of the pile screaming that someone had grabbed his balls. We were killing this team and I guess one of their players had had enough. My friend was really really really angry and screaming some not nice names to the other team, but I couldn't help but laugh a bit.
ReplyDeleteOh hail to the great one
ReplyDeleteOh hell Tebow I doubt it seriously
That was plagiarism Michael, I said ggfgb two weeks ago followed by 16lp10qivx.
ReplyDeleteMichael, did you laugh because you were the one that grabbed your friend?
ReplyDeleteIt sure would be nice to have a more definitive update on Zac Etherige.
ReplyDeletednatl - the answer to your question is something I will take to the grave with me.
ReplyDeleteI guess the running backs for Vandy, SC, FIU, and FSU are now gonna have to practice holding one hand up edge-wise in front of their face during their runs, a la the Three Stooges blocking a double eye-poke.

Listening to a call in show yesterday that Stan White and Roger Schultz do each Sunday afternoonn and Schultz was asked about the matter and he responded 'If I am in a pile and I feel something soft, I am getting a handful of it and squeezing as hard as I can.'
ReplyDelete...and the funny thing is, Schultz wasn't even talking about football.
ReplyDeleteBack to the pile!
ReplyDeletePile of puppets?
ReplyDeletethe puppets killed the thread.
ReplyDeleteThat's better than having them get a handful of your soft parts.
ReplyDeleteToday must be the day to ship chocolate to weird addresses. I've shipped to Minnehaha Street, followed by Kissing Camels Drive.
ReplyDeleteZac is out of the hospital.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding. I have doubts we ever see him suit up again, I hope he has no complications from the injury.
ReplyDeleteThat was one of the scariest hits I have ever seen.
Great to hear that.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Zac's out of the hospital! Thanks for the updates!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding..Here's to a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle Zac!
That is fantabulous news, Mr. Tate!
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle, Zac!!!
Thanks for the update, JGT!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear about Zac. Hopefully he is off to a speedy full recovery.

ReplyDeleteJhag is doing the dirty bird baby! Go falcons
ReplyDeleteMe too Jhag. Need to play much better on the road tonight.
ReplyDeleteBest news I have heard all day, regarding ZE being released from the hospital. I hope this means full recovery!
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful that Zac is on the road to recovery!
ReplyDeleteJust put up a new thread with reaction from Rodney Scott, the Ole Miss tailback who was pinned under Etheridge.
ReplyDeleteI just received an email from Mike Slive levying a hefty fine and a 1 game suspension for my criticism of the Spikes "suspension". That is all I am allowed to say on the matter.
