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.

WarEagleRK said...: Speaking of golf and clap, what about that Tiger Woods?; 7:54 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 7:55 AM

Eddie McCoy said...: Tiger....How many women will it end up being?

I'm a huge Tiger fan and will continue to pull for him, but that is just disappointing.; 7:56 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: sweet Edwardo.; 7:56 AM
WarEagleRK said...: FSJ,

Is this a boycott?; 8:05 AM
Anonymous said...: On my part yes RK..

Nothing against Mr. Tate tho....

Wish he was on a station near here. He'd have great ratings.; 8:07 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: FSJ- I support your ban of the show and understand the reasoning.; 8:12 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Yeah, if it's for the comments from last week by JKev, I understand.; 8:14 AM
mytommyd said...: I'm going to Tampa, I'm going to Tampa; 8:14 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: mytommyd - that reminds me; ticket office for hockey is now open. gotta make a call. Jan 2 Penguins at Tampa!; 8:22 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: so why is FSJ boycotting HATE radio?; 8:27 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Scottie- Go check out thread from last week and you will understand. Pretty bad.; 8:28 AM
WarEagleRK said...: 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.; 8:29 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Static on Supersport's online feed. Hooray!; 8:30 AM
J. Kev said...: 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.; 8:32 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: "That said, the fewer bammers that listen to the program, the better."

AUsome. hahaha.; 8:34 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 8:34 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Wow, that apology looked sincere.; 8:37 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: it's fixed...thanks; 8:38 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: the static seems to have dissipated on my end. :); 8:39 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: 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.; 8:44 AM
J. Kev said...: Any stones or zep requests, hotties?; 8:46 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: ooohhhh, it's all coming together now Eddie. i must've totally missed that last week.; 8:47 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I'd like to hear Neil Young doing the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song.; 8:48 AM
WarEagleRK said...: "Communications Breakdown" seems appropriate right now.; 8:49 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: what, no John Denver?; 8:49 AM
WarEagleRK said...: PF, I don't find Jimmy Fallon that funny at all, but the Neil Young thing was dead on perfect.; 8:49 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: was that Cross Canadian Ragweed? nice. play 'Boys from Oklahoma'. :); 8:50 AM
Anonymous said...: RK...

I don't find Fallon to be that funny either. He looks so uneasy on his show.; 8:51 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I agree, RK...pure genius.

Along those same lines, I really like James Taylor doing DMX's Party Up.; 8:52 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I haven't seen the James Taylor/DMX thing, I'll have to check it out.; 8:55 AM
wtc said...: 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.; 8:56 AM
wtc said...: FSJ-how was the BBQ show?; 8:57 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: It's Joe Cumia...pretty good.

Not clean lyrics; 8:58 AM
michael said...: 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.; 9:00 AM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 9:00 AM
wtc said...: 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.; 9:03 AM
wtc said...: FSJ-loking into a Green Egg for Christmas. My friens that have one, which are more than I thought, love them.; 9:04 AM
Frame said...: 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.; 9:04 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 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.; 9:05 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: It's ON, homies.; 9:06 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: play this...nobody would get it, but still.; 9:07 AM
WarEagleRK said...: 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.; 9:07 AM
Anonymous said...: wtc,

They are nice..I don't have one but everybody I know that does loves it.

Very versatile too. Anything from low and slow to high heat it can do.

Google T-Rex steaks. Or just look at this link..

BGE; 9:07 AM
bigdaddy334 said...: Michael you talking bout Fl. game; 9:08 AM
Frame said...: RK, if you get a chance to see them live, i think you'd change your mind. I wasn't sold on them until I saw them last year down at Jazz Fest.; 9:11 AM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 9:11 AM

WarEagleRK said...: "Hold up on that carwash"!!!!

I love the Bufford T. Justice reference.; 9:14 AM
michael said...: 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!; 9:15 AM
michael said...: Out on the Tiles from Led Zeppelin III; 9:15 AM
WarEagleRK said...: It wasn't like the OT win vs La Tech the next week was going to require everyone rushign the field.; 9:16 AM

Fearless Freep said...: Random comment from our friends on the Football Forum at ITAT:

"I've always considered (Jay G.)Tate more of an attention whore than a blathering idiot, but a case can me made for both."

They LOVE you over there JGT.; 9:19 AM

Our Tebow,

will be done, in Atlanta as it was last year. Give us this day our
annual Bama beatdown. And forgive us for never letting you beat us (WAR EAGLE!), as we forgive the media for deifying you. And lead us not into redneck chants of "13, baby!" but deliver us from Saban. AMEN.; 9:20 AM

Fearless Freep said...: I still lurk over there from time to time (obviously).

There are a few posters there who are reasonably intelligent and provide good info & analysis. But on average the place became completely unhinged during the 2008 season.; 9:21 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Jay G was called an attention whore here once...; 9:22 AM
Fearless Freep said...: I admit I occasionally post there under an alter, however.; 9:23 AM
Anonymous said...: Freep I do too..

Krusty and Fred banned me from there under my moniker from years ago.....even though I had NEVER posted on the board. They banned me because they didn't like me from Gridscape.

Too funny.; 9:25 AM
Fearless Freep said...: Speaking as someone who recently participated on-air in my employer's current pledge drive (or as I like to call it, "Groveling For Dollar$"), I think JGT's got nuthin' on me in the 'whore' department.; 9:26 AM

mytommyd said...: The Challahback girl .. that was great; 9:39 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: 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.; 9:40 AM

BTW better run down to the store and get some Bread and Milk SNOW is on the way Ha Ha I will believe it when I see it.; 9:46 AM
mytommyd said...: I have to say that Atlanta freaks out more about snow than I ever remember the Gump losing it when I lived there way back when. It may have something to do with that "way back when" part though.; 9:49 AM

Anonymous said...: I remember watching that 2001 game well...

At one time Tubs was the best big game coach around.

He'd lose to some folks he wasn't supposed to lose to which drove Auburn fans crazy...but there were several years that Auburn beat some teams that nobody gave them a chance to beat.; 10:37 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I think it's funny when people talk about living people like they're dead.; 10:39 AM

His coaching career is dead right now.; 10:40 AM
michael said...: Frankenbummer should was a good blog commentor back in 2008. His wit has been missed.; 10:40 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: 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); 10:42 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: not necessarily your post, it just triggered the thought, and how that kind of thing always amuses me.; 10:43 AM

We all screw up sometimes, hopefully we learn from them and don't repeat them. Sounds like he is on the right track.; 10:49 AM
cincytiger said...: How did that extra "c" get in there? Tyrik; 10:50 AM

Jet said...: Hartsfield Jackson scenery inspires me to say ... Go Gator.; 10:56 AM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 10:57 AM
Miller said...: I hate midget Saban and his Napolean complex, Jesus Jones, and Ingram's meritless Heisman garbage. I would hate the drunk "Bear" if he wasn't dead and rotting, and I despise the ghetto wasteland turd town of Tuscaloser. I hate rammer jammer, mullets, and toothless, delusional rednecks who can't count.
I hate $pUAT and you should too.; 10:57 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: the HATE archive is up now in case any of yall missed it....like me.; 11:05 AM

Tiger has 9. He likes to keep everything related to golf. He does well on the front 9, but has trouble with the back 9.

Anonymous said...: DM ..I feel ya with the Bama Hate. I purged a lot of Bama hate in the last 2 weeks and need to let the vessel fill up to be ready for Sat.

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.

Ms. Hoopie is trying to help me work out these issues and until they are resolved, I'm not allowed at the Swamp again.; 11:10 AM

Group G is the Group of Death.; 1:01 PM
E-Bro said...: Sean...draw.; 1:02 PM
E-Bro said...: England will start cautious I think. The altitude of Rustenberg might mess with them a bit as well.

Algeira and Slovenia are dream matchups on the face of it, but any time the US has to take the game to somebody and not play their counterattacking style, it's hard work.; 1:03 PM

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.; 1:59 PM
