Radio Appearance Forthcoming

Hey everyone. I will be doing my weekly segment on SuperSport 930 out of Jackson, Miss., in a bit. That extravaganza will begin around 9:05 a.m. CST.

We'll be talkin' Auburn, the movie "Doubt" and other stuff. You know how it goes.

Be there or be rectangular.

  2. Speaking of golf and clap, what about that Tiger Woods?

  3. Recruiting News: Scout just changed the interest level on Seastrunk from medium with several other schools to High for Auburn. This along with Lache Mom's comments about him going to play with Reed look promising for Auburn right now. TIFWIW.

    I'm a huge Tiger fan and will continue to pull for him, but that is just disappointing.

  6. FSJ,

    Is this a boycott?

    On my part yes RK..

    Nothing against Mr. Tate tho....

    Wish he was on a station near here. He'd have great ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  8. FSJ- I support your ban of the show and understand the reasoning.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yeah, if it's for the comments from last week by JKev, I understand.

  12. so why is FSJ boycotting HATE radio?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Scottie- Go check out thread from last week and you will understand. Pretty bad.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I assume it is from JKev coming on here and making comments about John Mark Stallings last week.

    I could be wrong, but that's probably it.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Static on Supersport's online feed. Hooray!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Okay:

    1. I'm sorry I made a joke about Stallings' kid.

    2. Didn't know the bammer's kid had CF.

    3. Sorry.

    That said, the fewer bammers that listen to the program, the better.

    Build a bridge, dude. Get over it.

  20. the static seems to have dissipated on my end. :)

  21. Look, I like JKev and the show alot and I understand that he stops by once a week. But the HABOTN is like family here and most of were aware of FSJ's daughter Abbie and her struggles. It's one thing to pick on a bamer, which we enjoy doing, but just trying keep it nice here. The apology is....just another slap IMO.

    I don't find Fallon to be that funny either. He looks so uneasy on his show.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I agree, RK...pure genius.


    Along those same lines, I really like James Taylor doing DMX's Party Up.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I haven't seen the James Taylor/DMX thing, I'll have to check it out.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Falon not that funny, O'Brien is OK. I prefer to watch a show I recently found called Free Radio. I think it is a comedy central thing. Plays at 10:30 in Montgomery about 3 mights a week.

  32. FSJ-how was the BBQ show?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Frankenbummer, I just want to let you know that I support your support of rushing the field.

    After all, I did it back in '01. I wish I could have acted like I had seen an unranked Auburn knock off a number 1 team many times, but... well... I hadn't.

    ReplyDelete

    wtc,

    It was pretty good. Myron Mixon from over in Georgia had alot of camera time last night. He's among the best. He's won Memphis in May a few times I think...

    And he's a bit of character too.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have no problems with students rushing the field. No way should it be done in a win against Ball State but beating a top tier team, I've got no problem with it. Now if my daughter does it and somehow she is fined or taken in, I have a problem with it.

  37. JKev. Requests:

    Stones - Live With Me

    And you should start throwing in some Black Keys into the rotation.

    Start with Thickfreakness. It's very Zeppelin-esque, but also is just good dirty blues. And they're a Fat Possum band, which connects them to Mississippi.

    ReplyDelete
  38. girls don't get arrested.

    there are two theories on being around girls on the field.

    on one hand, since they don't arrest girls, you're the only target should they come wandering by looking for people to arrest.

    on the other, the chance of them coming by looking for people to arrest in a group of girls is less likely, since groups of guys running around like fools are plentiful.

    ReplyDelete
  39. play this...nobody would get it, but still.

  40. Frame,

    I have listened to the Black Keys, but something about just having a guitar and drums doesn't sound right to me. They need a bass player.

    I once lost a bet with a poster on another board about whether Alabama had ever torn down the goalposts...

    I arrogantly thought that since I couldn't remember it that it didn't happen. Well that thought cost me $100.

    I wasn't the only one that got caught too.

    Apparently we did against Ohio State in some bowl game in the late 70's. We even screwed that up. We thought that since we were third and 1 & 2 lost that by destroying Ohio State that we would be national champs.......Not so fast. Notre Dame went from fifth to 1st.

  47. Yeah bigdaddy, the Florida game in 01. Rushing the field was like a high stakes game of red rover. If you made it through the yellow coats, you were good.

    I noticed most of the people with their faces being pushed into the grass getting handcuffed were quite drunk and easy targets. You can't be stumbling over yourself and think you can win at red rover.

    Of course, the next week, they hired about a billion yellow coats, and then we all realized we would be the last students to storm the field at Auburn. I'm historical, baby!

  75. Rushing the field every time you beat Bama would be silly. Rushing the field after beating a #2 Bama when you are unranked and were givin NO chance at beating them after losing 36-0 last year merits it in my opinion.

  97. That pretty much lasted until the end FSJ. Remember UF 07? Obviously he didn't have any of his signature wins in 08. He was always a big game coach. I think 07 was his career in a glance win when you weren't supposed to (UF, 2004) Lose when you weren't (USF, MISS ST, 2003,2008)

    Cincy, I was thinking th same thing about TR.

    This may sound weird, but I almost hope that he had a conduct problem rather than grades. It seems easier to get kids attention and correct them regarding conduct than grades. Many kids just won't realize that even in the easy curriculums, the schoolwork should be at least an 8 hour/day commitment.

    The problem I have with this weekend is that I hate UF almost as much as Bama.

    My Bama Hate is a general hate of their entire ignorant arrogance and causes me to just make fun of the fools.

    My Florida Hate is an animalistic hate of their intelligent, purposeful arrogance. My Florida Hate makes me want to squeeze them by the neck until their eyes pop out.

I'll have you know that I went to the store today and I did not purchase either bread or milk. I am fairly well stocked on beer. I don't need a stinking sandwich. I do miss seeing the WSFA news reports interviewing the former pistol packing mayor standing next to a dump truck loaded with sand.

  165. Ole Em'ry was ready for the snow and the mayhem that would shortly ensue thereafter wasn't he Norm?!? I'm sure he was just itchin' to impose a curfew for that, or anything else he could for that matter.

    Sorry guys..don't know what happened to the story.

    The LSU student paper reported that there is an issue with a player that redshirted this year receiving money from an LSU assistant to come to the Bayou...

  168. PF that'd be funny as hell if Alabama and Florida didn't do the tailgate thing because of the "snow". Although as I think about it, there's not really a place to tailgate at the dome is there? I've never been to the championship game, just did the activities around the civic center.

  171. Mr.TD,

    there's plenty of places to tailgate around the Dome. Not quite like what I'm used to, but it's there. Go down for a Falcons game. It's a different world.

  173. there're? I think I may have to start using that. I did do a tailgate for a Falcons game a good while back. But I'm not sure I was within eyeshot of the stadium. It's definitely different than tailgating on campus, that is for certain.

    Source: McCarthy paid Akiem Hicks to come to LSU

    LSU junior defensive lineman Akiem Hicks allegedly received money from wide receivers coach D.J. McCarthy to transfer to LSU from Sacramento City Community College in California, The Daily Reveille learned on Thursday.

    This transaction led to an NCAA violation that a source familiar with the situation said became known to the team following the Arkansas game last Saturday.

    “It was one of those things they try to avoid bringing up, but everybody knows who’s involved,” said the source, who is a former member of the LSU football team. “That right there is a big deal. Minor violations don’t even break the news.”

    LSU would not stand to forfeit any wins as a result of the violations because Hicks did not play in any games for the Tigers this season, but Hicks’ eligibility remains would remain unclear as a result of the investigation.

    “Taking money turns you into a professional, and that affects your amateurism,” the source said. “If you’re not an amateur, you can’t play in the NCAA.”

    McCarthy is apparently planning to leave LSU with running backs coach Larry Porter to be on the coaching staff at Porter’s alma mater, Memphis, the source said.

    Tennessee wide receivers coach Frank Wilson has been offered a job on the LSU coaching staff, according to GoVolsXtra.com, the Tennessee sports Web site of the Knoxville News-Sentinel.

    Wilson, who would reportedly fill Porter’s role, has worked with both wide receivers and running backs during his coaching career.

    “They don’t really talk about that either,” the source said. “We kind of knew who was going to leave with [former LSU defensive coordinator Bo] Pelini. McCarthy is probably leaving with [Porter]. If he does, he’s going to probably get a higher offensive position.”

    While LSU coach Les Miles’ contract states he has “an obligation personally to comply with and to exercise due care that all personnel and students subject to his direct control or authority comply with governing athletic rules,” LSU Chancellor Michael Martin released a statement Tuesday saying Miles’ job will not be affected by the alleged violations.

    “This situation has absolutely zero impact on the employment contract of coach Les Miles,” Martin said in the statement. “He has been highly cooperative in this matter and from the earliest stages has actively participated in the process of resolving this situation.
