Hey everyone. You know how this works.

- He has arrived ... three minutes late.
- "This is a great, great Georgia football team. Our kids ought to be into it and ready to play."
- On if he'd buy stock in this team: ``I've seen them go through a lot of good and some bad -- and handle both. They just keep coming back, keep playing, keep fighting. They just keep hanging in there."
(He won't answer the question.) - On A.J. Green: ``AJ is a great talent. He has a lot of range and a lot of speed. He's their go-to guy this year. They take a lot of shot down the field with him. It'll be a huge challenge for our secondary -- which should be fun for our secondary. He'll make you go to work all night long. We'll have to make sure we have the right matchups when he's on the field."
- On Joe Cox: ``The more pressure you get on him, the better. He's a very, very good quarterback. He's very accurate. He's an extremely talented guy. He can put the ball right on the money."
- On Georgia's underperforming defense: ``When I look at them on film, I see a very talented team that has been very productive."
- On injuries: ``Our staff has done a really nice job of being able to plug other guys in. Onterio McCalebb has been out ... and we've had some young guys stuff in there. They'll have to continue doing that."
- On the line between promoting assistant for other jobs and wanting to keep a good staff at Auburn: ``It's a fine line. I want to help our guys to be able to achieve every goal that they set out to do when they became a head coach. If that's being a head coach, I want to help them -- just the way people helped me. I don't want to lose any of them. At the same time, my job as a head coach is to help them achieve those goals. There's no reason I wouldn't help them -- and they know that."
- On retaining offensive swerve: ``You'd like to think you could carry it week-to-week. Sometimes we start the game off slow and we pick up momentum as we go. It's a game-by-game issue, in my opinion."
- Travante Stallworth is out this week. ``He won't be playing."
- On Ben Tate getting national respect: ``I'm really proud of him and the achnowedlgements he's receiving now are certainly well-deserved. He's a guy who laid low at the beginning of the year and did what he needed to do to become a better football player. Twelve hundred yards later, it's showing up."
- Ben Tate's effect on recruiting: ``If you have a guy hit 1,000 yards in nine games in this league, that's hard to do. The proof is there. If you want to rush for 1,000 in this offense, you have opportunities to do that. You know you're going to get the ball."
- That's a wrap.

Looks like the Auburn football team is headed for 9 wins and a decent bowl game. I guess I can live with that.
waiting substance
doh
BLAWGIN!!!!!!!!
ehyou... AU EXCEEDED all expectations for me this year..PLUS the O has been fun to watch every game for the first time since 2004.
Its great to be an AU tiger..
i love that pic JG. the Chiz in FULL effect.
I Hate Georgia and it's DELUSIONAL FANS!
My son wants a bulldog. I told him no. The end.
Just like Chiz to keep up waiting.
I picked up my copy of Modern Warfare 2 this morning.
I have no time to play it, but at least I can stare at it this afternoon.
get him a terrier mix & name him/her after an AU All-American. worked for me TommyD. ;)
Chizik isn't late until 11:31.
I didn't blog Jeff Lebo's remarks previewing the big Niagara game.
I hope you're not devastated.
MTD - my soon to be 3 y/o son and future 4* recently took a trip to Athens with some friends. He was not swayed and it's reported that he continuously replied "War Eagle Hey!" to every Go Dawgs taunt thrown his way.
scottie b is DEVASTATED.
Niagara is good. They made the tourney last year.
Beware of snipers, JayG.
Norm...nice.
No Lebo coverage...what is this, a football school?
I'm gonna clock this as a late arrival.....NOW.
College basketball has begun. That's fine by me. Something to watch during the week. Watched North Carolina last night.
i have been denied my niagra fix for today. thanks jgt. i so wanted to know what lebo thinks about taking on this quality opponent.
I swear, I can't make this stuff up:
UGAly- "Eddie, pour eddie ! Everything you said is pure subjective,
I don't blame you for wishing uga in decline and all that, and like a true aub alum I understand your lack of ability for loyalty( ask tubbs)
But were fine in athens and we will make whatever changes that are needed at the end of the year! I am not worried at all by one bad season ! You seem to ignore that -16 turnover stat, yet we have still manage to be competitive ! We will be fine.
Judgeing by the way Az st, Ark, even lsu have played we are not that bad, but you will find out sat!
Oh yeah there are many sites if you google toughest schedule in 09 that does have Uga ranked much higher, and says there 08 was the toughest ! You just keep changing coaches and playing patsy's you are bound to luck up one year!"
Eddie, I just your posts on the last thread of the emails you've gotten. His spelling is ATROCIOUS!!!
maybe he was busy flagging people down on I-85 trying to find someone who can play safety or linebacker...
Eddie, I honestly don't believe UGA is that bad either. Respect the Dawgs, don't fear the Dawgs, but don't underestimate them, either.
Where has the obsession with the stock metaphor come from this year?
E-Bro: Chizik brought it up maybe six weeks ago.
Not Gene's brightest move, especially in this economy.
I guess everybody else has just run with it since.
Fortunately, I don't work with any die hard football fans, so I don't have to deal with jerks from the opposing teams. We work with the speech pahtologist a lot and she shares a space with the physical therapists. She's an Auburn grad and they are all bammers. They give are constantly giving her grief.
Hey Jay has everyone just gaveup asking about injuries?
Is Lane Kiffin a football analyst on the side? Last week, he wore a ESPN hat to his presser. This week, it's a CBS College Sports hat.
UGA is inconsistent if anything. Their offense was crazy against Arkansas and South Carolina (back when USC was playing decent defense). Their defense was pretty darn decent looking against LSU and OK State. They just can't maintain either, or put them together in the same game (save Tennessee Tech- patsy anyone??).
The thing that makes me think Auburn will win handily is Auburn's ability to stay unified and keep battling. When UGA gets down, they're eerily similar to AU 2008. The coaches look confused, the players look angry, depressed, and unmotivated, and there is very little unity on those sideline.
Auburn is mentally stronger this year, and that should be the difference.
Just don't kick the dang ball to #2 (Brandon Boykin). He'll murder our shoddy kickoff team.
Norm, Scottie, it's good to know he still may end up normal. Truth be told I can't help but love that he's able to go to UGA free. So I just brush off these little remarks as stuff he's picking up from the leghumpers.
What is the point of these press conferences? The coaches never say anything anyone really wants to hear.
Bro- I don't fear georgia and I don't think they suck. You did the show with me, I gave them their props, but I get tired of getting hounded by emails and phone calls so I will respond in terms he understands, whether he admits it or not. He has called me 3 times already this week and sent about 20 emails. I HATE GEORGIA!
WOW. a definitive statement:
Travante Stallworth is out this week. ``He won't be playing."
What about Onterio?
Eddie, does that guy actually claim to be an UGA grad? I'll bet he did great on essay tests.
WOW... An answer about a player
He said Onterio is DxD.
I too am socked by the stallworth revelation. What substance!
so, to be clear, DxD is NOT the same as DnD.
That's a wrap, people.
Scott C- Never set foot in a classroom at UGA. Look, I know every school has their share of fans that don't attend the college, but some have more than other. UGA and bama are two of those and I hate both of them almost equally.
Woudn't it be d squared?
Who do you hate the most Eddie?
The "Step by Step" theme song always pops into my head when the day by day statement is made.
Michael...love me some TGIF on ABC back in the day. Full House, followed by Family Matters. Or before that, Perfect Strangers.
Talk about an hour of power...
AU Mikey- Alabama has a slight lead there, but Georgia has been making up ground each year that i'm stuck in this stinking state. Sorry for those that live here, but I want out and will bail first chance I get in the future.
How did you feel about UGA before living in Georgia?
It's good to know that Georgia continues the trend of playing a great team every week.
Love that last statement about Tate. I agree his showing this year in this offfense will help recruiting.
I will let it be known that the Georgia fans in my office (which equate to about 5 of the 15) are much more quiet this year than in years past. I think they're pretty unsure which team of theirs is going to show up Saturday, as am I. I'm hoping that ours is the team that WHUPPED up on UT. Yeah that team from the first 3 quarters.
I hope the Georgia team that played UT shows up.
Georgia has been consistently average ever since the LSU game. That seemed to be the game that marked the end of their inconsistencies. Since then, they have been steamrolled by Tennessee and Florida with big wins (as expected) against Vandy and Tennessee Tech.
The only real surprise in that stretch is the blowout win by Tennessee, but more the manner of the loss than the loss itself. But that result becomes less surprising with every game that UT plays since.
college football is so unpredictable and as parity has swooped down on us it is getting more so. Can only hope that the auburn of the first 5 games or last 2 will show up and not the three in the middle, Go Tigers beat those leghumping butt licking Dogs.
I didn't really think he was a Jawja grad, Eddie. It was just that he said something somewhat derogatory about you being an AU alum, so I did wonder if he was claiming to have actually gone to school at UGA.
Eddie ...I feel the UGA hate, but differently than you.
I just spent 3 days fishing on Lay Lake between Clanton and Wilsonville. I saw 60-80 Bama-attired fans and 1 AU-attired fan that would qualify as never-have-attended their school. That is probably an appropriate ratio for the Bama-AU relationship. If in Ga. there may have been 15-20 folks in that catagory.
My problem is with the UGA grads. These folks whine, moan and desert their team at the first sign of trouble. Unlike the UT, UF or AU fans I know here ....the UGA fans I meet/know are "football ignorant".
"A Bammer Story" ...We fished and drank beer until dark on Friday, then decided to go out to eat at a BBQ house on Hwy 145 (not recommended btw). I was gonna shower, change clothes, etc. and my buddy curiously said that it would be better to go as dressed. We walked in the restaurant and I courteously removed my fishing hat, which drew stares from the patrons, of which 10-15 were proudly donning Bama hats. Realizing that manners were not appreciated, I promptly replaced my HABOTN hat on my head just to fit in. I then drew stares as the only blue-orange hat in the place.
"Georgia on their be-hind" is the new winner from Tiger Rags this week.
Wow have they ran out of ideas or what?
Ya know ....it's gotta be tuff for CGC to constantly find different ways to say the same things ....wait ..oh nevermind.
Hoopie, nice photo of Denny Chimes in your avatar.
SChoco ...That 2 story outhouse is in honor of the UGA hillbillies I encounter while doin' bidness in the Ga. Mtns.
HONK!! ...if it's NOT raining where you are.
The fact that Stallworth isn't day-by-day is conerning. I think he might be out for a while.
Just once I would like to hear a coach say "we should really beat the crap out of them. Their defense isn't that good and their offense is eratic".
Nope, you're mistaken, Hoopie. That's Denny Chimes, alright. Haven't you heard about Bama's new tradition where the team captain sits in the top and Bammer fans pay $50 each to sit in the bottom?
It's $100 each if Saban is sitting up top.
I have fished Lay Lake a few time Hoopie (many a year ago though) - How did it go for ya?
WERK, who comes up with this stuff?
I see the line is floating @ 4.5 GA's way - I Just Don't Get It! I would place it at a pick'em at worst, AU 1 or so favorite at best.
Doesn't the home team always get the benefit of the doubt?
What up hotties?
Hating on UGA, which is one of my favorite passtimes.
Home team usually gets at least 3 points.
I do think Georgia should be favored. Yes, they lost to Tennessee, but they beat Arkansas. If I remember correctly, 3 of their 4 losses were to top 10 teams. Don't underestimate the dogs.

Last time we played UGA thinking they were doing was 2006. We can't assume that they are down.
doing = down
I need to stop typing so fast.
Chiz says Norm is "thread to thread."
I'm just happy to be mentioned in the conversation.
does Norm's eye issues correspond to the downward turn of our offense, and his resurgence correspond to the resurgence of it?
coincidence? i think not.
glad to have you back Norm. bout freakin' time.
You may just be onto something there scottieb.
Auburn will beat Georgia by 24 points minimum.
LT ..Nice fall colors and weather. The bluebird sky and cold mornings ran the spots into deep water. We had poor electronics and my buddy likes to beat the banks anyway, so we went old school ....caught a bunch of dinks, drank beer and listened to football on the radio.
I'm craving bread pudding.
ok, SULLIVAN TO....
Warm bread pudding ... ahhhh.

Sullivan to Ramsey?
Josh Sullivan to Jamoga Ramsey.
dang it Jet! ;)
ElTurbo wanted to name our current dog Jamoga. Sadly, Stewardess, the nominal owner of said dog, rejected it.
I kinda Ziemba'd that one, didn't I, Scottie B?
It was that Bammer and his bread pudding comment.
yup. i blame it on FSJ and the SEC officiating crew.
Jamoga is a cool name. my cat is named Prechae. ha.
There's always a bammer....or a woman to blame.
I'm glad you take this stuff well FSJ
I'm used to verbal abuse mytommyd...
Scott does your¥at randomly drop objects that are thrown directly in his path?
Off to Huntsville for another midweek excursion. But before I go...
Beat Georgia! War Damn Eagle!
I had a shirt in 06 that said Prechae it! Also that same year anyone did something nice for me I told them how much I PRECHAE IT
she's never dropped a treat CARPHONE. amazing but true.
nice shirt. :)
The Chiz kept you waiting THREE MINUTES!!?? Outrageous!!!
I wonder what DeRon Furr thinks about life right now
He is at Memphis who is terrible, coach just got fired...when he would probably see playing time at AU this year in the secondary, what a foo
I thought he was going to MTSU. He went to Memphis?
He's at Memphis, I promise
6'3 230 Safety, we could use that
Highlight of Saturday's game against Furman ...
When Anthony Gulley breaks off the 50-yard touchdown run, the ribbon message board above the press box displays ...

Speaking of number 8's, Jerraud Powers is doing pretty darn well his rookie year for the colts. how bout that?
Yeah Michael, you are right, shocking...he had an INT this weekend
Speaking of Powers, puppets have many of them. We must be aware of these as Puppet Hour begins.
Alright guys we are 10 minutes into puppet hour and nothing. I'd hate to think the puppets are winning the war.
I've been hanging around the HABOTN for over a year, but I have a confession to make - I don't understand Puppet Hour. Why do puppets have special powers? Why do some of you fear them? Why is 4-5 puppet hour? I see references to it, but never an explanation.
Hoopie, next time you are around Lay Lake on Fri or Sat nite, go to Lessie's outside of Clanton and eat their seafood buffet. Its one of the few places around that puts raw oysters on a buffet.
The atmosphere isn't much, but the food is good. Both the staff and customers are mostly sidewalk bammers, so be prepared for all that goes along with that.
I'm going to be a better person one day.
Raw Oyster Buffet? It's either really awesome, or a stomach ache waiting to happen. There is no in between.
Oops, now the whole world knows that my wife is named Diane.
I wish she would stay off my computer; though she would say its our computer.
Michael and Harrison are afraid of puppets. The rest of us are scared of Michael and Harrison, so we agreed to hate puppets. 4-5 is the last hour of the work day. Instead of working, the Hotties come here. It's great fun. Try it.
Peter, the only way to mess up raw oysters is to let them get hot.
Not seeing Lessie's would never do that, but I'm still alive.
nobody knew anything until you just told us. now we know you pose as a woman sometimes.
Just seems like a lot of ice to maintain. Hats off to them if they do it.
seeing = saying. Guess I can blame the typo on puppets?
Thanks for the explanation; now I understand one of the great mysteries of life.
Peter, I couldn't dare let anyone think that my wife was recommending Lessie's. She hates it, and would kill me if she found out I had posted something good about it under her name. I'm more afraid of her than the puppets.
Hottie Hoooooo.
I love places that wives hate. That means they have character.
Fear Diane. Maybe she's a puppet.
I thought A. J. Greene was out with bruised lungs?
contusion of a lung...he sat out last week. think he'll be back this week.
well, somebody needs to contuse his other lung then.
CONTUSION CONFUSION
just give Bates an open shot on him and his day will be done...
You gotta feel for Cincinnati's Pike. He is being touted as a Heisman candidate, breaks his arm and is out 3 games, and comes back to find out he is no longer the started. Major suckage.
Hate georgia. Beat georgia.
This puppet hour was brought to you by Sesame Street and the Letter H. Happy 40th Sesame Street.
Eddie,
As much as I like the words on your picture, it is written by Paul Scumbag and therefore I hate it!
JDonna- I'm glad I picked a picture that gets double hate. It says hate Heorgia and hate bama at the same time. I hate both and finscum.
Wow, Steve West had some very poignant comments about U Memphis boosters and media. My guess is they were appropriate. I like for someone to speak their mind.
look Eddie, I know you spanked my tail in HABOTN BOWL I but JDonna? Not JD on a...
JDonna- You want a rematch? I don't feel right beating a woman.
Hottie hoooooo!
I think Scottie should make us some HABOTN flags.
It was a great day of Christmas shopping in Nashville. I purchased an Auburn win over Georgia. It was on sale!! I'm still shopping for the win over Alabama. Good times :)
Cinch- you got my tv? :)
Still looking for the perfect one Eddie
Wth happened to Sammy Sosa?
didn't he do some skin/michael jackson thing? i heard something about it on the radio but it wasn't clear. enlighten us PF.
Eddie-I see where Reed is still on for Friday. it will be late friday night, but it looks like it is still on.
I told you I'd do it, and I NEVER lie. --------------------------->>>>>
Well, sometimes I do.
Norm love the AU on the patch.
You need to stand a little closer to the razor next time.
Digger, I'm a very manly man. It's nigh on 9p here and I shaved before 6a this morning. For a few hours or so, I look relatively clean shaven.
Sosa (FREAK!)
Norm...that AU eye patch is totally bad a$$. Maybe we should have a HABOTN eye patch day just so we can show our support.
Who am I kidding? I just want to walk around in an AU eye patch.
AUrrrrrrgh!
Norm you are right no MAN shaves two times in a 24 hour period
Think all the roids bleached Sosa out? That's just bizarre.
I always knew Sosa was a freak.
From $tuff my Dad says:
"You look just like Stephen Hawking...Relax, I meant like a non-paralyzed version of him. Feel better?... Fine. Forget I said it."
digger,
Gotta say I agree with you...
Not going to shave twice in a 24 hour period.
Norm, in the small pic at first glance you look like the Terminator. :)
glad you're back friend.
Sosa looks like a vampire for halloween in that pic. yup, that's scary.
Norm,
So glad you are back. Love the AU eye patch! Prayers for fully restored vision soon.
Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn spoke to Evan Woodbery about head coaching openings and gave a quote that will bring a smile to Auburn fans' faces.
"I'm flattered if my name gets thrown around, I guess, but I'm extremely happy here...we've got big goals, big dreams here. I'm committed to that. That's the only thing on my mind."
Oh crap... He's gone.
Wait, that was the last coaching staff's MO.
Hey peeps.
I'm totally out of (mental) gas right now. I kinda stiffed you today in terms of content.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
We'll do a stock report.
Have a swell evening.
COD MW2- sweetest game ever.. currently riding the snowmobiles...
Gus stays forever.
Correct the first time JZ. It wasn't just the last staff, it's all coaches. They're staying forever until the decide to leave.
the=they
Ole Miss's chancellor does not want the south to rise again.
That whole deal annoys me. How does saying the south will rise again promote segregation? A bunch of people making a big hoopla where there is no need for it.
I don't have the perspective to have an opinion here.
The south has already risen. Take a look at Atlanta. Are people migrating north? Too late. It has already happened. Next topic.
Good morning Hotties. Traffic sucks. That's all for now until I get to work.
Some interesting tidbits form Scarbinsky:
According to Rivals.com, Auburn has signed five five-star recruits in the last eight years. Alabama has signed seven five-stars in the last two years and has two more already committed for the class of 2010.
Dyer committed Friday to become the first five-star recruit to sign with Auburn since injury-plagued defensive end Raven Gray in 2008.
Dyer committed to become the first five-star recruit on offense to sign with Auburn since juco running back Brandon Jacobs in 2003.
Dyer committed to become the first five-star recruit on offense to sign with Auburn out of high school since wide receiver Ben Obomanu in 2002.
From 2002 through 2007, Alabama signed exactly three five-star prospects of its own.
Good morning, Hotties.
What happened to Norm's eye? LOVE the eye patch, BTW!
RE: jhag's quote from Malzahn: As much as I'd like to see him stay for awhile, all coaches say the same thing. If the right HC offer came along, he's gone. Perfect example (not a direct quote, but close): "I guess I'm just going to have to say it. I am not going to be the next coach at the University of Alabama."
AU fans should feel good about the recruiting process. It will take some time, but if you look at what has happened so far, the picture looks a lot better now than 1 year ago. Remember where we were 1 year ago? In the midst of a huge meltdown.
No one has signed yet and it could change by NSD, but right now, these guys have the attention of a lot young kids that are looking to play for a team that is improving and will give them a chance to shine.
Hey Hotties! Y'all have a great day.
I survived prison yesterday.
LUV-I agree. I jsut don't think this is the right job. Even with an ego, many coaches have to lok at Memphis and say, I'll pass.
WTC- I did see that Reed was still on for Friday after the game which is good news for us given the late push Oregon has made. I also see where the odds are shifting from Seastrunk to Lattimore as the most likely 2nd back we get. That concerns me a llittle especially with Dixon who seems to be high on UT now. I always thought Seastrunk, Reed and Dixon would be a package deal but not so much lately.
To Gus' comments.
I concur.
I also agree wholeheartedly with WTC about the way this staff is recruiting. It is actually fun and exciting to follow how and who this staff is recruiting. They are not affraid to go after the best players instead of conceding that they have no chance like the previous staff.
On a side note, they just added another Auburn billboard in Stone Mountain where I work. Timing of it isawesome and they are also recruiting a kid from here.
Eddie-Keep the faith for now. I am sticking with my original statements until proven incorrect.
wtc, your original statements as in your 6:12 post or something you said awhile back?
WTC- I'm keeping the faith and preaching it. Not as elequant as Brother Jet but I give it my best.
Speaking of Brother Jet...
Luv-From earlier this season, if not before the 1st game.
To summarize:
AU lands LOwens, MDyer, LSeastrunk, ADixon, TReed.
I would also be surprised if they do not land:
Eric Mack
Mike Thorton
VBeasley
Dakota Moseley
I have no idea who any of those people are, but I hope they all come to Auburn and are very successful.
Good Morning and War Eagle everybody!!
Kill the Dawgs!
WTC- I think we land Whitaker also.
Did a little youtubin' for you RK
Ladarius Owens
Michael Dyer
Lache Seastrunk
Trovon Reedk
Eric Mack #76
Mike Thornton #20
Now not being a big recruiting person, I can't guarantee that all of those guys are the ones wtc was talking about
Nice work Mytommy.
Anybody seen JDonna around lately :)?
It's a slow morning at work Eddie :)
On the bus, pulling out of the Gump, with a bus full of band geeks heading to Indianapolis.
I will check in as possible.
Hate DOGS. LOVE to the HOTTIES. War Eagle.
Jet- You must be going to National Band Competition. E-Bro knows all about that, he went to Indy like 4 times while at Ooltewah. I bet you even see Ooltewah there this year as well.
Goooooooooooood Morning!
we gonna mornin' flip this thing?
200!
yup, mornin' hotties.
i had to take my little cat in to the vet this morning. he had a gash in her front shoulder. very ugly. hopefully when the vet sews her up this morning everything is ok. dunno how it happened.
