ReplyDeleteDEUCES WILD!
ReplyDeleteI'm outta here.
ReplyDelete(one advantage of arriving at 0700)
Raga: I'm not going to go for that. Sorry. We're not going to play the name-calling game here.
ReplyDeletewas that a midday banhammer? nice.
ReplyDeleteBut I can't go for that, (No can do)
ReplyDeleteNo, 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?
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.
ReplyDeletehe was 9th in the SEC in scoring TDs, 5th in receptions per game, and 4th in receiving yards per game. not too shabby.
there was a post that mysteriously disappeared.
ReplyDeletethat's all i'm saying Norm.
John Oates had a terrific moustache.
ReplyDeleteI'd give him a 8.8 on the Thomas Magnum Standard Scale.
Selleck did have the 'stache going on didn't he...
ReplyDeleteDid I read that right that the coaches left the Butkus Award winner off of their ALL SEC team?
ReplyDeletenot sure on Butkus, but DITKA has a nice 'tache.
ReplyDeleteFSJ: My mistake on McClain.
ReplyDeleteBeing added now.
Hoopie -- that was my mistake.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that.
bummer. i liked it the other way.
ReplyDeleteMagnum couldn't hold a candle to McRae ------->
ReplyDeleteno prob
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty disappointed I didn't make the All-HABOTN Team. But I am still young. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteI could start right now trying to grow a 'stache....and this time next year I still wouldn't have one.
ReplyDeletesome legends are too great for mere lists michael.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll come up with my own ALL-HABOTN team
ReplyDeleteWonder who will be on our starting eleven?
Wow, you delete a whole comment over a minor name calling deal? Whatev.
ReplyDeleteBottom 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteFSJ - me?
ReplyDeleteSure thing Norm...
ReplyDeleteYou'll be somewhere..No doubt.
Raga: We don't call people idiots here. Well, FSJ gets that a few times per year.
ReplyDeleteWe're civil. Always.
Glad you like "Better Off Dead," though.
ReplyDeleteI WANT MY TWO DOLLARS.
Don't forget to sign up for the HABOTN Bowl Pick'em! This can be found on Yahoo!
ReplyDeleteThis group is FREE.
Group ID# is 12699 and Password is: outback
Once you sign up, take note of the Commish Note and sign up for the wager group as well.
I feel like I could make honorable mention on the All-HABOTN team. I'll expect to see myself among the also-rans, FSJ.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am the only idiot on this blog.
Yes..Jay that is correct..but that is because I am indeed an idiot.
ReplyDeleteSean...
ReplyDeleteYou'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.
bowl pickem isn't workin for me D
ReplyDeleteGlad you're here, Sean. I was about to point out that you are our resident idiot.
ReplyDeletegreat, now Jay started a frenzy on who claims to be 'the' HABOTN idiot.
ReplyDeletei'm keeping my ballot private.
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.
ReplyDeleteI did receive a free month of service, so that's good.
But Jay, what if everyone here is a bunch of idiots?
ReplyDeleteThe Most Self Deprecating Auburn Blog on the Net.
ReplyDeleteThe MoSDABOTN.
Good grief, people. You sound like a bunch of Tony Franklins...get your act together.
ReplyDeleteWe all can't be Ballaz, K.
ReplyDeleteExcept I'm the idiot because I am signed into the wrong account.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club, Kristina. We're always glad to welcome new members.
ReplyDeleteKrusteenuh, there are no wrong accounts. Just different accounts.
ReplyDeleteKristina - did you intend to sign into the "Carmela" account?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteAlright people, I have HAD IT with this office today. I'm going to the house where the family and cold adult beverages await me.
ReplyDeleteGood lord zookeeper...or are you an imposter zookeeper?
ReplyDeleteI think she did Norm..
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is a group account?
that's the real zookeeper. I'd know that avatar anywhere.
ReplyDeletewait a minute...
Fine. I admit it if you guys will shut up. I'm Carmela. There. Mystery solved. Let's move on.
ReplyDeleteYeah guys, just trust me. It's me, Kristina. I have kids and I'm the zookeeper and all that. I take crazy pills and drink pickle juice for breakfast. I like Alabama football almost as much as I like blueberry muffins.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is testy today..
ReplyDeleteAnd michael is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI KNEW IT!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Kristineena. That means so much to me!
ReplyDeletekristeenuh is kidding
ReplyDeletePickle juice huh?
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
But I'm the real Kristina!
ReplyDeleteNo, I am! Now back off, (insert expletive of your choice)
ReplyDeleteIf you are the real Kristeengha, then do you like pickle juice?
ReplyDeleteI do like blueberry muffins though.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteKristina here, whatsup guys
ReplyDeleteTHT 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.
ReplyDeleteOh, hi Kristina. Nice of you to join us.
ReplyDeletenice try, wakerider. You are really messing me up.
ReplyDelete25th Eddie
ReplyDeleteI'm really at my computer. But I'm starting to think that puppets have taken control of y'all's computers.
ReplyDeleteNo..I'm the real Kristina....
ReplyDeleteI love Alabama football..
Just ask anybody.
Latest from StiffArm Trophy
ReplyDeleteHeadin' out, check in with you yahoos later.
ReplyDeleteJay G, is that acceptable?
That's gonna be a close call Sean...
ReplyDeleteWake.... what isn't working for you?
ReplyDeleteSee ya later Sean the Idiot.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Strong is in at Louisville...
ReplyDeleteStrong
5 unclaimed seats in THE OFFICIAL HABOTN Section (Sec.232) at Raymond James Stadium for the Outback Bowl.
ReplyDeleteAny takers before I unload them?
There might be 5 Kristinas showing up any time now to claim them, THT.
ReplyDeleteAnd in case you didn't notice, it's PUPPET HOUR!!!! AAAHHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere is Harrison these days?
ReplyDeleteYou ate him, jerk.
ReplyDeleteWow, no Ben Tate on the 1st or 2nd team?
ReplyDeleteIt finally worked, don't know why it wouldn't earlier
ReplyDeleteWhere are all the Snowdens of yesteryear?
ReplyDeleteI am signed up for the free bowl pick 'em.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville had been HC at Portland State the past 3 years (9-24). He "resigned" recently.
ReplyDeleteBen Tate made the AP second team, rk.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that information from any other blogs, I just know it because I know it, OK?!
ReplyDeleteHow the heck did I become a fan of Tinkerbell on Facebook?
ReplyDeleteDid you facebook drunk, PF? It happens, man.
ReplyDeleteaitz chaim he, as the ex used to say.
ReplyDeleteAnswer: Butternut squash and salmon
ReplyDeleteQuestion: What does Nick Saban smell like?
ReplyDeleteRoses?
ReplyDeleteThat one was laid on a silver platter for FSJ.
ReplyDeleteI see the AP 2nd team, but not the coaches 2nd team.
ReplyDeleteSo 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.
I been real busy Michael. Reeaalll busy. I also leave for Hawaii in a few days. suckers!!
ReplyDeleteWHich island(s), Harrison? What you got planned?
ReplyDeleteTHT- 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
ReplyDeletei know that i will play golf no matter what
ReplyDeleteWho needs Hawaii? I can wear a grass skirt, put an umbrella in my lady drink, and roast a pig here in Alabama.
ReplyDeleteAnd the best part is I am far away from those crazed Samoans. Do you even watch wrestling, Harrison? Samoans are scary!
ReplyDeleteI picture Harrison at a luau in the maroon blazer, eating poi with his hands and getting it all over his mustache.
ReplyDeletethe somoan guy in "Necessary Roughness" was real nice
ReplyDeleteI picture Harrison naked, just like I do all the HABOTN Hotties.
ReplyDeleteNice tattoo by the way, Scott Chocolate.
i will do some mean cannonballs into the pool too
ReplyDeleteHarrison, 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.
ReplyDeleteThe next thing you are going to tell me is that not all of the people living in the Caribbean are pirates.
Thanks, MJT. I wasn't sure about getting the Eurasian flag in that exact location, but the wife seems to dig it.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteGood 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?
ReplyDeleteJust behind that is the full-sized tattoo of a thighmaster on one's thighs.
ReplyDeletesorry, Harrison. THT2.0 just google talked us after her long weekend in Barcelona.
ReplyDeleteMaui - 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.
Finebaum is wearing out some writers from Jackson and Knoxville...
ReplyDeleteone of the Samoan wrestlers died this past week.
ReplyDeleteDid 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.
Finebaum has worn out his welcome. Who cares what/who else he wears out.
ReplyDeleteLGG Byron says Lattimore has eliminated UNC from his list. I had thought they had a good shot at him.
ReplyDeleteSo...looks like Kelly will eventually be Notre Dame's choice according to ESPN...
ReplyDeleteGood choice or no?
Finally got a new modem and router. Have I missed anything the past couple of days? I've only been able to log in periodically.
ReplyDeleteKathy ...
ReplyDeleteA 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)
Tiger's wife bought a 2.5 million home about 3 months ago w/o Tiger's name on the deed.
ReplyDeleteI do not resemble the Gump.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hoopie! FSJ will not be successful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Tiger's wife may have been creepin' too...
ReplyDeleteI'm tryin to picture what the gump would look like if it was a woman. It's not a pretty site.
ReplyDeleteIf she cheated and he allegedly beat her, this story would be completely different. What was the deal with the mom
ReplyDeleteConecuh sausage, red beans & rice...Oh my!
ReplyDeleteReally D Miller?
ReplyDeleteWow.
(Pssst, Kathy. I am not really Carmela. I am just trying to get everyone to quit accusing everyone else and drop the whole thing.)
ReplyDeleteRight... nice deflection, Kriscarmelatina...
ReplyDeleteehyou,
ReplyDeletethat sounds great...hope you had some biscuits to go with it.
I'm Convinced that FSJ was Carmela.
ReplyDeleteyou would be wrong Big Snacks.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteI agree Peter...
ReplyDeleteUnless there is something we don't know that is a little much, IMO.
FSJ,
ReplyDeleteUntil 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.
Hey everyone, FSJ was Carmela (and his wife might not like seeing the avatar with those things on his computer).
ReplyDelete...and he loves Auburn. The excessive bammerness is all an act.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteShocking! Nutt not interested in Kansas.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletethat was me the typing was horrible
ReplyDeleteHere is someting that is very confusing when it comes to rating a player:
ReplyDeleteRivals 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteI missed a nice Puppet Hour.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
I wish someone who followed recruiting could translate that Rivals stuff for me. I bet it's good information.
ReplyDeleteSeems fair to me wtc...
ReplyDelete:-)
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?
ReplyDeleteSo Brian Kelly to ND looks like it's going to happen.
ReplyDeleteNever 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.
I liked Brian Kelly, I thought we should have given him a look last year.
ReplyDeleteJohnnie Dixon may not have the grades to get into the 4 year arena....
ReplyDeleteNot saying he's not a good coach. Obviously he is. Something about him just rubs me wrong the way.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I would have felt about a midwest guy coaching Auburn, though.
As I recall, we did give him a cursory interview.
I think he deserved a serious look, maybe we gave him one, but who knows.
ReplyDeleteM=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 $.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen where the Yanks have picked up Granderson?
ReplyDeleteI 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?
Norm... you know as well as I do that WTC doesn't follow recruiting...
ReplyDeleteIt might have been me D.Miller, but really nothing the Yankees do surprise me.
ReplyDeleteHowever, 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.
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?
ReplyDeleteI recall an outfield upgrade exchange, but I don't recall Granderson being mentioned.
ReplyDeleteHulu now has five episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
ReplyDeleteNice.
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.
ReplyDeleteE-Bro,
ReplyDeleteNice. I watched "Giant Spider Invasion" the other day, it has the Skipper from Gilligan's Island on it.
E-Bro,
ReplyDeleteI've seen "Giant Gila Monster" and "Monster A Go Go" that are on Hulu, both are great.
I'll have to check those out.
ReplyDeleteWERK... wasn't you...
ReplyDeleteI'm just giving someone (JGT) a hard time....
here
ReplyDeleteaqi
ReplyDeleteThere
ReplyDeleteBig game tonight Jhag?
ReplyDeleteYeah, we were playing was supposed to be the #2 team in our district very large african american team...we spanked em by 20 it was awesome
ReplyDeletej-z.... get your butt in the Bowl Pick'Em! both of em... quit straggling!
ReplyDeleteJ-z... you're in one... you need to be in both...
ReplyDeleteYou too, Norm... hop to it.
You're not the boss of me.
ReplyDeleteAre you? Did I miss a memo?
Is this news or was this already discussed?
ReplyDeletehttp://blogs.ajc.com/recruiting/2009/12/08/thornton-postpones-graduation-plans-to-visit-georgia/?cxntfid=blogs_recruiting
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.
ReplyDeleteFSJ, 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.
ReplyDeleteNorm... yes, and yes...
ReplyDeleteAny of you electronics experts....
ReplyDeleteAre 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?
Ragamuffin, it was very nice of you to let Jay know what he does.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a problem with Linksys....
ReplyDeleteWhat do you consider the best out there (for the price) when it comes to routers?
just in case you have not seen this yet,
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/09/sports/ncaafootball/09tennessee.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
very interesting
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.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteBy 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.
ReplyDeleteAt least we know where Lattimore will not be going to,
ReplyDeleteit also speaks to the tacit sleaziness of Kiffin.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIt breaks my heart that the NCAA is looking into Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteI don't see where it implicates Kiffikin. It does say something about the class of people at UT.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletePersonally, 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:)
ReplyDeleteNo wonder a classy guy like Eddie Gran is bailing on that cesspool.
ReplyDeleteJuwan James decommitted from UA due to the textbook NCAA issues according to him.
ReplyDeleteSweet irony that his recruitment by UT is being investigated.
One other thing.. Kiffin probably shouldn't have ticked off Mike Slive..
ReplyDeleteFSJ, 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.
ReplyDeleteLet's
