  2. Raga: I'm not going to go for that. Sorry. We're not going to play the name-calling game here.

  3. was that a midday banhammer? nice.

    ReplyDelete
  4. But I can't go for that, (No can do)
    No, I can't go for that, (No can do)
    Oh, I can't go for that, (No can do)
    I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that.

    Have we had a banhammer put into play?

  5. i'm kinda bummed my boy Darvin Adams didn't make any squads but he's still got 2 years. i need him to be an All-American so i can put him on the walls of fame. there's time.

    he was 9th in the SEC in scoring TDs, 5th in receptions per game, and 4th in receiving yards per game. not too shabby.

    ReplyDelete
  6. there was a post that mysteriously disappeared.

    that's all i'm saying Norm.

  7. John Oates had a terrific moustache.

    I'd give him a 8.8 on the Thomas Magnum Standard Scale.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Selleck did have the 'stache going on didn't he...

    ReplyDelete
  9. Did I read that right that the coaches left the Butkus Award winner off of their ALL SEC team?

    ReplyDelete
  10. not sure on Butkus, but DITKA has a nice 'tache.

    ReplyDelete
  11. FSJ: My mistake on McClain.

    Being added now.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hoopie -- that was my mistake.

    Sorry about that.

  13. bummer. i liked it the other way.

  16. I am pretty disappointed I didn't make the All-HABOTN Team. But I am still young. Maybe next year.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I could start right now trying to grow a 'stache....and this time next year I still wouldn't have one.

    ReplyDelete
  18. some legends are too great for mere lists michael.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think I'll come up with my own ALL-HABOTN team

    Wonder who will be on our starting eleven?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wow, you delete a whole comment over a minor name calling deal? Whatev.

    Bottom line is, Adams should have been on the team. His stats were much better than all but Shay Hodge. I'm not sure what the writers and coaches are looking at.

    ReplyDelete
  21. So there is only one WR on the coach's All SEC team? That seems like a big problem that needs to be fixed. We are moving towards half the league running 3 and 4 WR sets as the norm.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Sure thing Norm...

    You'll be somewhere..No doubt.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Raga: We don't call people idiots here. Well, FSJ gets that a few times per year.

    We're civil. Always.

  26. I feel like I could make honorable mention on the All-HABOTN team. I'll expect to see myself among the also-rans, FSJ.

    P.S. I am the only idiot on this blog.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yes..Jay that is correct..but that is because I am indeed an idiot.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Sean...

    You've been bringing it the past few days...I'm a bammer...I can't count..No telling how many will be on my team.

  30. Glad you're here, Sean. I was about to point out that you are our resident idiot.

    ReplyDelete
  31. great, now Jay started a frenzy on who claims to be 'the' HABOTN idiot.

    i'm keeping my ballot private.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well, they quit working me like a sled dog for at least a couple of weeks. That and I had my internet restored after a couple of "I'm quitting your company" calls.

    I did receive a free month of service, so that's good.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Krusteenuh, there are no wrong accounts. Just different accounts.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Kristina - did you intend to sign into the "Carmela" account?

    ReplyDelete
  41. I am not signed into my HABOTN approved account therefore it is the wrong account. But I am lazy so just trust that it's me and not someone else.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Alright people, I have HAD IT with this office today. I'm going to the house where the family and cold adult beverages await me.

    ReplyDelete
  59. THT said something about oysters and then deleted it. I think he also said that the real Kristeenuh loves pickle juice, and that is how we can tell who the real Kristeenih is.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Oh, hi Kristina. Nice of you to join us.

    ReplyDelete
  61. nice try, wakerider. You are really messing me up.

  77. I had no idea former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville had been HC at Portland State the past 3 years (9-24). He "resigned" recently.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Ben Tate made the AP second team, rk.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I don't know that information from any other blogs, I just know it because I know it, OK?!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Question: What does Nick Saban smell like?

    ReplyDelete
  85. That one was laid on a silver platter for FSJ.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I see the AP 2nd team, but not the coaches 2nd team.

    So Tate sees himself as the best back in the state, but other coaches see him as at best the 5th best RB in the league.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I been real busy Michael. Reeaalll busy. I also leave for Hawaii in a few days. suckers!!

    ReplyDelete
  88. WHich island(s), Harrison? What you got planned?

    ReplyDelete
  89. THT- I don't really know much about the trip. I know Maui is involved. My mom is taking our whole familt for Christmas. The wife and I are just showing up

    ReplyDelete
  90. i know that i will play golf no matter what

    ReplyDelete
  91. Who needs Hawaii? I can wear a grass skirt, put an umbrella in my lady drink, and roast a pig here in Alabama.

    ReplyDelete
  92. And the best part is I am far away from those crazed Samoans. Do you even watch wrestling, Harrison? Samoans are scary!

    ReplyDelete
  93. I picture Harrison at a luau in the maroon blazer, eating poi with his hands and getting it all over his mustache.

    ReplyDelete
  94. the somoan guy in "Necessary Roughness" was real nice

    ReplyDelete
  95. I picture Harrison naked, just like I do all the HABOTN Hotties.

    Nice tattoo by the way, Scott Chocolate.

    ReplyDelete
  96. i will do some mean cannonballs into the pool too

    ReplyDelete
  97. Harrison, are you saying I am wrong to judge an entire culture by two or three Samoan wrestlers? I guess I have some things to ponder.

    The next thing you are going to tell me is that not all of the people living in the Caribbean are pirates.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Thanks, MJT. I wasn't sure about getting the Eurasian flag in that exact location, but the wife seems to dig it.

    ReplyDelete
  99. You are a real man, Scott. Science has shown that there is no more painful tattoo than the Eurasian flag. The black background combined with lightning, tornadoes, and tumbleweeds really take it to another level.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Good gravy! I leave town for a few days and all Salsa breaks loose. Holy Guacamole, do I have to come back there to ask Karl what I should about you?

    ReplyDelete
  101. Just behind that is the full-sized tattoo of a thighmaster on one's thighs.

    ReplyDelete
  102. sorry, Harrison. THT2.0 just google talked us after her long weekend in Barcelona.

    Maui - Roy's Kahana Bar & Grill and Mama's Fish House. I assume Roy's is still good. We ate there a long time ago before he went national. And do the bicycles down Haleakala.

    And keep your eyes on the hula boys.

  103. Finebaum is wearing out some writers from Jackson and Knoxville...

    ReplyDelete
  104. one of the Samoan wrestlers died this past week.

    Did you know that Dwayne The Rock Johnson is related to all those Samoan wrestlers. They're all one big family. He doesn't look like any of them.

  105. Finebaum has worn out his welcome. Who cares what/who else he wears out.

  106. LGG Byron says Lattimore has eliminated UNC from his list. I had thought they had a good shot at him.

    Good choice or no?

    Kathy ...

    A Bammer may win the Heisman and many Hotties(especially THT) are miffed.

    Scot Choco recently got a manly tatoo in a manly place

    FSJ is trying to turn this into a Bama blog

    PF is gumpy

    Jet is AWOL in La La land

    Cincy is probably shopping

    Kristina was posing as Carmela all along.

    Sean is still and idiot

    someone got banhammered

    and Micheal is kidding ($1 to zookeeper)

  110. Tiger's wife bought a 2.5 million home about 3 months ago w/o Tiger's name on the deed.

    ReplyDelete
  111. I do not resemble the Gump.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Thanks Hoopie! FSJ will not be successful!

    ReplyDelete
  113. Sounds like Tiger's wife may have been creepin' too...

    ReplyDelete
  114. I'm tryin to picture what the gump would look like if it was a woman. It's not a pretty site.

    Wow.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Right... nice deflection, Kriscarmelatina...

    ReplyDelete
  120. ehyou,

    that sounds great...hope you had some biscuits to go with it.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I'm Convinced that FSJ was Carmela.

    ReplyDelete
  122. you would be wrong Big Snacks.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I know Plaxico was wrong for carrying a gun where he wasn't supposed to, but does anyone else think he was victim of an overzealous Elliot Spitzer wannabe?...who continues to screw with him. Do most prosecutors try to block the actions of parole boards granting temporary work release?

    ReplyDelete
  124. I agree Peter...

    Unless there is something we don't know that is a little much, IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  125. FSJ,

    Until you can prove that it wasn't you, I'm assuming it was you and telling everyone that it was your Auburn loving alter-ego that's been trying to get out for years.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Hey everyone, FSJ was Carmela (and his wife might not like seeing the avatar with those things on his computer).

    ReplyDelete
  127. ...and he loves Auburn. The excessive bammerness is all an act.

  129. that was me the typing was horrible

    ReplyDelete
  130. Here is someting that is very confusing when it comes to rating a player:

    Rivals has CJ Moseley, a very good player, ranked 7th best palyer in the state of Alabama. Rivals has him listed as the 91st best player in the nation. Rivals the 1st & 2nd rated kids in Alabama in their top 100, then they skip to the 7th best in the state of Alabama as the 91st best player in the nation. Coincidence that the 1st & 2nd ranked kids in AL are committed to UAT and #7 ranked kid is a lean to UAT? #3, #5, #6 in the state are headed to AU. They are not ranked in the top 100 in the nation. interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  131. The JUCO kid, Johnnie Dixon, a former AU signee, is listed as the 17th best JUCO player in the nation. Tubbs recruited him to AU. He has no offers at this time to move to a 4 year school.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I missed a nice Puppet Hour.

    I could offer some nice Hawaii advice from our trip. That's a mighty fine place to be.

    I'm just gonna put this out there - every one of you regulars are Carmela. It's a silly little plot you cooked up while I was restricted from the pc after my surgery. Now I just have to figure out who's idea it was.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I wish someone who followed recruiting could translate that Rivals stuff for me. I bet it's good information.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Seems fair to me wtc...

    :-)

    ReplyDelete
  135. WTC, I didn't check you facts for one I don't want to and secondly you seem to be in the know. If what your saying is true then there truely is something gonig on. How could the 7th best player in the state be ranked higher nationaly than three players above him in the state rankings?

    ReplyDelete
  136. So Brian Kelly to ND looks like it's going to happen.

    Never really cared for him while he was at Cincy.

    Now that he's the coach at ND...

    No. I'm sure of it. I hate him.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I liked Brian Kelly, I thought we should have given him a look last year.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Johnnie Dixon may not have the grades to get into the 4 year arena....

    ReplyDelete
  139. Not saying he's not a good coach. Obviously he is. Something about him just rubs me wrong the way.

    Not sure how I would have felt about a midwest guy coaching Auburn, though.

    As I recall, we did give him a cursory interview.

    ReplyDelete
  140. I think he deserved a serious look, maybe we gave him one, but who knows.

    ReplyDelete
  141. M=B - don't bother checking, trust the validity. Don't ask how, just accept it. It's good stuff and quite often right on the $.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Has anyone seen where the Yanks have picked up Granderson?

    I seem to remember a conversation recently where someone thought I was crazy for thinking the Yanks would make upgrades in it's outfield... I think the conversation specifically mentioned Granderson....
    Anybody refresh my memory as to who that was?

    ReplyDelete
  143. Norm... you know as well as I do that WTC doesn't follow recruiting...

    ReplyDelete
  144. It might have been me D.Miller, but really nothing the Yankees do surprise me.

    However, if you are wanting to know who it was just to rub it in someones face, just pretend it was me and spare whoever it really was the humiliation.

    ReplyDelete
  145. WTC, I'm sure you saw the Goodwin decommittment. Any chance we get him back or are we accepting it so we can fill other needs?

    ReplyDelete
  146. I recall an outfield upgrade exchange, but I don't recall Granderson being mentioned.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Hulu now has five episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

    Nice.

  148. MB-AU is still working him pretty hard. They did not give up on him. I do think AU has a better shot at getting himback than the other schools do of landing him. For now.

    ReplyDelete
  149. E-Bro,

    Nice. I watched "Giant Spider Invasion" the other day, it has the Skipper from Gilligan's Island on it.

  159. I do think Thorpe is deserving of some recognition here. I actually think he is becoming better than McFadden. I see Thorpe playing on Sundays.

    ReplyDelete
  160. FSJ, I think Kelly is an excellent choice. Notre Dame has made mistakes getting head coaches at times in the past. This time I think they get it right.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Norm... yes, and yes...

    ReplyDelete
  162. Any of you electronics experts....

    Are there any major drawbacks to buying "Recertified" electronics?

    Was wanting to get my Dad a wireless router for Christmas... the one thing he wants.... and I found a great deal on a recertified Linksys router...

    Should I shy away from Recertified... or go for it?

    ReplyDelete
  163. Ragamuffin, it was very nice of you to let Jay know what he does.

    ReplyDelete
  164. I don't see any problem with going with re-certified. I am not crazy about Linksys routers, but they ware widespread. I would go for it.

    ReplyDelete
  165. I have never had a problem with Linksys....
    What do you consider the best out there (for the price) when it comes to routers?

    ReplyDelete
  166. just in case you have not seen this yet,
    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/09/sports/ncaafootball/09tennessee.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

    very interesting

    ReplyDelete
  167. I honestly don't know a lot about other routers. I have just had trouble with linksys in the past, particularly with my work. I also know that our IT department will throw them away if possible. I wish I had one to honestly recommend, but I don't. I actually ended up buying a linksys router recently because it was the only non-wireless router the place had. It has worked okay so far, but I wish I could have found something different. I had to have non-wireless because of my work and security concerns.

    ReplyDelete
  168. That investigation of Tennessee is interesting. Use the hoochie, Luke, use the hoochie. This could actually become more damaging to recruiting than the result of the investigation. Kids don't like going to schools that may end up on probation. I find it unusual that the NCAA is getting this involved prior to signing day. It is likely that being accused could cause punishment in itself.

    ReplyDelete
  169. By the way, I often use amazon out about stuff. Read their ratings and comments. It should give you an idea. They aren't always the cheapest, but using their evaluations help.

    ReplyDelete
  170. At least we know where Lattimore will not be going to,
    it also speaks to the tacit sleaziness of Kiffin.

    ReplyDelete
  171. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  172. It breaks my heart that the NCAA is looking into Tennessee.

    ReplyDelete
  173. I don't see where it implicates Kiffikin. It does say something about the class of people at UT.

    ReplyDelete
  174. I am just glad it is not Auburn, It is about every other year that the NY Times focuses an article about Auburn sports and it is never good.

    ReplyDelete
  175. Personally, if anyone knows of recruiting violations at Auburn I would encourage them to report them to the NCAA and for Auburn to get rid of the parties involved. I am not a win at all cost guy and I don't like the message it sends to kids. It is why I believe in Auburn and the Auburn Creed and love it:)

    ReplyDelete
  176. No wonder a classy guy like Eddie Gran is bailing on that cesspool.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Juwan James decommitted from UA due to the textbook NCAA issues according to him.

    Sweet irony that his recruitment by UT is being investigated.

    ReplyDelete
  178. One other thing.. Kiffin probably shouldn't have ticked off Mike Slive..

    ReplyDelete
  179. FSJ, you are right about that. He destroyed his own credibility right off the bat. Of course, it doesn't matter because it was part of the strategy.

    ReplyDelete
  180. BOOM!

    Down goes UT!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  181. Hahaha, you are definitely addicted to HABOTN.
