Auburn engineers upset in Baton Rouge
Hey everyone. Just a short note ...The Auburn women have beaten No. 11 LSU at the Maravich Assembly Center. It was the best game I've seen this season.
Alli Smalley hit a 23-foot shot with :03 remaining to force overtime. The Tigers moved ahead with approximately 1:30 remaining in overtime on a shot by Jordan Greenleaf. LSU went scoreless during its final four possessions -- including a botched, open layup at the buzzer.
Auburn (10-6) was led by point guard Morgan Toles and center KeKe Carrier, who finished with 17 points apiece.
It's the team's first SEC win in three tries. The Tigers lost at Florida in double overtime Thursday.

Great win by the ladies!
War Eagle!!
I ran across an article on the war eagle reader that quoted Tuberville before the 2008 season as saying Lubbock looked like the surface of the moon.
Out of curiosity I did a virtual drive around Lubbock. The surface of the moon is a little harsh, but it definitely isn't the loveliest village on the plains. There seems to be a dirt theme. Trees are small. Everything is flat. I don't think Tubbock will be in my vacation plans.
Kathy...I posted this comment in the last thread in response to your link. If you'll allow me:
All due respect to James Willis's title of associate head coach, but wasn't his move to Bama more or less a lateral one?
Coach Saban...just...stop talking.
I agree E-Bro.
This game is a good sign for ladie's basketball. Sure, you are going to occasionally have a down year, but they will be back.
They'll be back soon.
But will Ashley Judd be back soon?
Hahaha, I just read where Tuberville promised a little more running at Texas Tech. Define a litte? Maybe 30 to 40 carries a game? This will be interesting.
Jay,
You never said if you were up for a little indoor soccer?
JayG-From your previous thread.
I don't think UA winning makes Chizik's job harder. I don't think it makes it easier either. It is a win and AU will have to work hard anyway. But a bigger question would a UA fan even care? I heard the got bye week from the NFL this weekend anyway and will play the cowboys next week.
SO UGA has now offered K Smart $700k per for 3 years to come to UGA as the DC. Wow.
Sound like a lateral move to you?
$700k could make me forget I was on or near a septic tank.
I wish someone would offer me a lateral job at that salary.
Wait a minute, does that mean a lateral move as someone else's wife? Nevermind...
I guess it depends on whether he is leaving your program or coming to your program, doesn't it?
Anyone that takes until 2010 to figure out who Ashley Judd is had zero credibility in any area.
Just heard that Saban told Smart he could not talk to the media until Sabn told him he could.
What if Smart talks to the media to tell them he's going to Georgia? Does Saban suspend him at that point?
The evil empire winning can benefit Auburn. If the 2004 team had faced an undefeated evil empire in the Iron Bowl, they would have likely been in the BSCG.
He has to get his permission PF.
I'm out for awhile. Wish I had gotten up to go run today. Maybe Monday.
PF, I don't know most of the music groups these days. I saw the other day where Bounce had a number 1 hit. I have never heard of Bounce, but it is by choice.
Anybody told Steve yet that Ashley is an actress not a singer?
Nothing you can say can justify that. She's a cultural icon, rabid sports fan, and most importantly, hot.
Steve, How's the weather in Belize?
Ashley, not Bounce (sic).
About 73 degrees and clear at the moment.
By they way, in honor of Omnica everyone should watch the Big Love season premiere tonight at 8:00 AuST on HBO.
Steve, I bet you know who Tony Franklin is though.
You have an incredible grasp of the obvious, IV.
really a great game, alli's shot was clutch; That was a heartbreaker at UF thursday night and this gives them faith they can win in the SEC, now they can continue the streak against bama wednesday night!
I sure wished I could say the same for you.
Thanks for you concern, but I really would prefer that you wouldn't say anything for me.
What can be said for you. Your turn PF.
I will not be watching Big Love nor Chuck tonight. Not sure what I'll watch but I can absolutely, positively guarantee you it will be neither of those selections. Though Chuck does have some easy on the eyes ladies from what I've seen on the commercials.
Why would anyone want to work for a man who tells you when/who you can talk to? $aban is a joke. He might be a good coach, but he a terrible person in my book.
So did everyone like the final episode of "Auburn Everyday"?
Chuck DOES have a number of eye catching women.
But it's also a good, fun show.
Money will make you do it until you get tired of such treatment. Walmartian creater
Coaches asking assistants not to speak to the press isn't unusual, although Saban seems to take it to another level.
Who is Ashley Judd?
or creator.
Ask Steve, Michael. I think she is a singer though.
I want to be 21 again.
Where is Kristina? We need her to tell us if Michael is kidding.
She sings in a trio all by herself and a couple of goats.
Not me, PF. 50 is too much fun!
Yeah, where is Kristina. Its been a while.
Most Coaches, when telling their assistants not to talk to the media, don't leak it to the media that they said such.
Seriously, where is Kristina? She hasn't been around since Christmas or before. Or I have missed her if she has.
I actually don't think I could survive 21 again, but I'd like to try.
If you ask a walmartian to take you to their evil leader where do you think you will end up?
Cincy, I like 70 much better.
as long as I am still breathing.
PF, that is a good point. Saban does seem to have some control freak in him.
Kristina ia alive and well somewhere in Alabama. I saw her commenting on Facebook.
I like Chuck. It's pretty mindless, fun entertainment. The agent who keeps a framed photo of Ronald Reagan in his apt is great. That would be Col. John Casey, played by Adam Baldwin.
Michael, Did you fire Kristina?
ditto
CH=B, loved the final episode of Auburn Everyday and I hope they continue doing the Auburn Preview using this format.
I wonder if we could get KeKe to play with the men's BB team? She might be a beast with them, then again she might hurt some of them in practice.
Can anyone reacall a coach leaving Saban for a step up? Also Smart went to UGA, but that would matter since Saban doesn't have any kind of loyalty to anyone or place.
*ditto was for PF.
I have nothing against Chuck, I have seen an episode or two, it just didn't make it into my rotation. Since there's no football, we'll probably watch something recorded after F4* goes to bed.
Kathy, how bout the comments from Chizik and some of the players at the end. Doesn't that just make you feel awsome inside? I like how he is running this program. I truely believe he loves Auburn and wants the players to love Auburn as well. How could the players not even know the fight song until chizik made them. What was the previous staff doing?
I think we are going to rewatch the AU-NW game. The two hour version.
THT...exactly. It's not the show with the most depth, but it's a lot of fun and it's a got little bit of everything: drama, comedy, and action. Then there is Yvonne StraHOTvski.
I dig it. I'll be watching tonight.
or awesome!
i gave up on heroes. it got stupider and stupider.
I miss Monk :-(
Chuck is a great show. The woman on the show make Judd chick not look so good.
Me too THT.
You mean the singer Ashley Judd?
I didn't fire Kristina. She might have quit. I don't know.
Anyone know if she went to Disney World before Christmas? I saw an Auburn fan that may or may not have been her... not sure though.
Ashley Judd? Who's he?
Just had to change my picture back to Ali! She saved that game for overtime and then the other stepped up! What an exciting game...now can we get the guys to get on board?!
E-Bro said...
Coach Saban...just..stop..talking
==I couldn't agree more..What incredibly stupid quotes those were in that AJC article. Great coach..but what a horrid little man..
Yeah, players being a less than familiar with the fight song in recent years is disappointing, but I'm not gonna get upset to the previous coaching staff about it.
I'm not sure Lac or Ronnie Brown could sing the fight song right now if you asked them to. That doesn't devastate me.
But hey, I do like that Chizik is going to do a better job witht hat. More importantly, it seems like he's going to do an even better job of recruiting.
She works for you Michael. You should know if she had vacation leave for Disney.
Kristina was at Disney before xmas, yes...according to Facebook.
When he's finished with the fight song, he should move on to the Alma Mater.
PF,
If you see Kristina on FB, would you tell her we miss her? The girls are a little outnumbered on here. Plus I need her to tell me if Michael is kidding.
I have messaged with Kristina on Facebook. She's ensconced with non-HABOTN activities at the moment, that's all.
CH=B, they will definitely be Auburn Men when they leave! Every show makes me proud of our Auburn coaches and players. This was a special season. JJ made the right hire.
Cincy, I also have the 2-hr version of the game. I've watched it a few times. It will have to get me through the long winter.
I have finished my Auburn column for Monday's edition ... just in time for me to attend the 5:30 mass.
See ya, peeps.
i think he should start with the Alma Mater. It almost makes me cry every time I sing it. MrsTHT and I love us some Auburn.
Yummy! Sweet potato french fries with supper.
I don't know the Alma Mater.
Not all of it, anyway.
learn it tonight, E-Bro.
I know the original version with the API reference. How about you Digger?
furreal. learn it. love it.
BEASLEY!!!
THT...your wish is my command.
On the rolling plains of Dixie, 'neath the sun kissed sky, proudly stands our alma mater API, etc.
bro - I read that message from THT as more of a command to you rather than a wish. But, I get your point.
IV...already know that part, minus the API part.
I love the Auburn Creed. I could recite it when my daughter was at Auburn (she made me learn it) but it is a little rusty. I need to brush up on it.
THE ALMA MATER
On the rolling plains of Dixie
'Neath its sun-kissed sky,
Proudly stands, our Alma Mater
Banners high.
To thy name we'll sing thy praise,
From hearts that love so true,
And pledge to thee our
Loyalty the ages through.
We hail thee, Auburn, and we vow
To work for thy just fame,
And hold in memory as we do now
Thy cherished name.
Hear thy student voices swelling,
Echoes strong and clear,
Adding laurels to thy fame
Enshrined so dear.
From thy hallowed halls we'll part,
And bid thee sad adieu;
Thy sacred trust we'll bear with us
The ages through.
We hail thee, Auburn, and we vow
To work for thy just fame,
And hold in memory as we do now
Thy cherished name.
Kudos to cincy:)
the alma mater and the creed are both awesome, the auburn band learns the alma mater at preseason camp as freshmen so i've known it since before the first day of classes!
We really should know the alma mater and the creed as well as we know the fight song. Otherwise we are just like the walmartians.
I don't know the Alma Mater by heart, but I'm nothing like the walmartians.
I assure you.
I believe in Auburn and love it.
I do like the Auburn Creed. I do like to think that Auburn people hold themselves to a higher standard.
Thanks Cincy... I always sing it with the band! That's what separates us from the sidewalk alum. Auburn Men..gotta love it!
Indeed IV and it just doesn't sound right without the API. Althought I understand why it was dropped.
IT just don't sound right!
Furthermore, I think it's safe to assume that there are no walmartian types on the HABOTN (that includes FSJ and Mark). It's what makes this place great.
That Eddie character is kind of a tool, though.
I know E-Bro, I don't know it fluently. But I wager you know more of it than most walmartians know of their alma mater - or even what an alma mater is!
E-Bro,
LOVE your avatar by the way.
Cincy, thanks for pointing out E-Bro's avatar. It is pretty unique:)
Thanks Cincy!
Green Bay is coming back. They just recovered an onside kick.
Looks like Arizona borrowed our ST coordinator.
This Green Bay comeback it looking very impressive. They are just down by 7 now.
WHo had the link earlier to Auburn Everyday. I would like to see the last episode.
Look for the show at Auburn Everyday
Hey errybody
Favre vs Green Bay?
I can't believe Green Bay has tied this one up. At one point they were down by 21.
That was a great move for the first down.
I'm going to crawl in bed. I'm HABOTN-incapable in bed right now, so...
Good Night, Hotties!
This is a great game if you don't care about defense.
The war eagle reader actually has a picture of the coaches national title trophy at Walmart. Simply incredible.
Good night THT. Hope your shoulder is healed soon.
Quite the comeback.
Kickers!
Holy Wide Left Batman!!! To OT we go!!!
The Cardinals players may invite their kicker to a blanket party latter tonight. That was a short field goal try.
I like the college OT better. Green Bay winning the coin toss may give them the game.
Thanks, Norm.
El Turbo called to give me the same message. I couldn't post it because I was answering the phone.
Tough break ... the officials see the obvious hold, and miss the helmet to helmet hit.
Dansby wins it!
Dansby!
Aaron kicked the ball right to Dansby.
WTC did you find the episode? Go the the following link. You don't have to sign in. Just click the free events button and then click watch on the 1st video. http://all-access.cbssports.com/player.html?code=aub&media=136549
TC did you find the episode?
sorry for the crazy post. I was trying to post and include an earlier post.
sweet. the game didn't delay The Simpsons that long.
Can't wait for Chuck.
I can't believe The Simpsons is 20 years old. I have never seen a single episode.
Dansby does good:)
I haven't watched much Simpsons for a long time. I am more of a King of the Hill type guy, but I am really looking forward to the Big Love season premiere. It may be the best show on TV these days.
SteveFC,
that picture of the trophy is great; who would have ever thought the national championship trophy would be surrounded by cokes?
We have some really big prospects visiting this weekend. Whitaker, Thorton and Jones are three of the uncommitted guys coming in. I think we could know something on Sunday from at least one of them.
McFadden earned some props from Rivals. He was named to the All Bowl Team.
DANSBY!!!
That NC trophy picture is pretty shocking. I wonder if Saban might be available to autograph bobble head dolls at Walmart at some point.
E-Bro...Tool...you are lucky I dragged you out of the shed to this place...
Boo!!!!
Boo who?
Sorry I made you cry.
Auburn Tigers.
My kids used to love that joke. We did it over and over and over :)
New thread UPZ.
i guess i am the only one who saw this headline on twitter and excitedly came to read about some engineering competition that auburn lost in louisiana. Oh well. Congrats to the lady tigers.
