Auburn men lose at Vanderbilt

Hey everyone. Jeff Lebo and the gang lost their fourth SEC game in five tries today in Cashville, 82-74.

Auburn led by 13 points early in the second half. The Commodores went on an 11-2 run ... and the rest is history.

Lucas Hargrove led the way with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Vanderbilt was led by Jeffrey Taylor's 18 points.

The Tigers (10-10, 1-4) resume play Thursday night against Ole Miss. That one will be played at The Beav.

Anonymous said...: I think Manning is one of the best QB's ever....

BUT I'll never cheer for him to win.

Go Saints.; 9:34 PM
Jet said...: I think if (when?) Manning wins this one, he may very well be No. 1 in my book. He's done it with lesser weapons this year.; 9:38 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Peyton has made Garcon and Gonzalez; 9:39 PM
Anonymous said...: Over/Under on the number of times we hear the following words in the next few weeks:

Katrina
Archie

I'd say a million.; 9:39 PM
Norm said...: Since FSJ and I support different teams, I'll have to pull for the Colts. That, and because I fondly remember Peyton leading the band in Rocky Top after beating UAT.; 9:40 PM
Anonymous said...: See Norm..that is why I will never EVER cheer for Manning.; 9:42 PM
cincytiger said...: Night, hotties. Hope everyone wakes up on the right side of the bed tomorrow.; 9:59 PM
Jet said...: Good night, Hotticologists.; 10:19 PM
chip chip said...: i would gladly trade my saints going 0-16 if AU makes one play against bammer on that final drive.; 10:50 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: Good morning, Hotties! Hopefully, today will be a better day for Eddie and PF.

Cincy, how are your daughter, you and the rest of the family holding up?; 5:47 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Good morning Luv and all the Hotties.

It's time to rise and shine!

WARRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!!; 6:13 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Luv- today is here and God is Great. I'm ready for the week.; 6:19 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I don't why Luv would think that yesterday was not great for me. I had a great weekend...misundertood, indeed.

on that note, who wants to be called a ninny today?; 7:07 AM
Norm said...: ME! ME! Oh, pick me. Please!; 7:17 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: nah, Norm. You called jet obtuse a while back. That deserves something, but ninny isn't it.; 7:23 AM
Ephemeral said...: Good morning, Hotties.

War Eagle and Geaux Saints!

Hope all of you have a good week. It will be a busy one for me. At least it is starting with an orange and blue sky--in Montgomery at least.; 7:27 AM
cincytiger said...: Luv,
We are all doing well. Thanks for asking.

I am posting a link to her blog. Disclaimer: Not sure the guys will be interested in this, more for the HABOTN ladies. But she just talks about what she is dealing with. I am very proud of my precious daughter.

Kathryn's Blog; 7:27 AM
Norm said...: Dang, well I can assure you that in my many years of knowing him I've called him much worse than that. He is of course my nemesis.; 7:27 AM
Jet said...: PF ... Norm the Ninny ... sounds alliterative, but redundant.; 7:29 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ...and that deserves commendation, or lashing. not sure which.; 7:30 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I am not alliterative. That's girly talk. If I were to be okay with alliteration, I might as well wear tights and arrange flowers.; 7:32 AM
cincytiger said...: I like Norm the Ninny, maybe because I am a girl. I think he should change his posting name.; 7:33 AM
Norm said...: Cincy - that's not necessarily just for girls. I can absolutely empathize.; 7:34 AM
Norm said...: Cincy - while a name change isn't out of the question, that suggestion is.; 7:35 AM
cincytiger said...: Thanks, Norm. I have been amazed at how many people's lives have been touched by miscarriage.; 7:36 AM
cincytiger said...: I don't know, Norm the Ninny has quite a ring to it.; 7:37 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Cincy, thanks for sharing Kathryn's blog. One of my favorite verses is Philippians 4:13.; 7:43 AM
Anonymous said...: Lebo won 24 games last year! So, it's a little down. It's hard to reload when you play in a bad facility. Give him two years in the new place. If it doesn't improve, then it's time to change. Until then, give him the same measure of chance you gave a 5-19 football coach.; 7:58 AM
WarEagleRK said...: A 5-19 football coach trying to rebuild another school that was down in 2 years isn't the same thing as a coach you've had at your school for over half a decade and still haven't seen too many positive results.; 8:06 AM

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I fell worse about Monday already.; 8:30 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Why's that, PF?; 8:49 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Atlanta Hotties, go help Haiti and fill your bellies tomorrow:

Mellow Mushroom Downtown Atlanta will donate all of the day's sales from open at 11a 'till close at 10p tomorrow Tuesday January 26 to the Hopital Albert Schweitzer in Deschapelles Hati, 40 miles south of the earthquake-ravaged capital city of Port -Au-Prince. This facility miraculously escaped the wrath of the earthqu...ake and is fully functional and overwhelmed with casualties."; 9:12 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Luv,

Rain, Monday, 5-19, Thomas Jefferson...Bad omens, all of them.

Monday you can fall apart...; 9:15 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I really don't like doctors. The ortho clinic cancelled my app't this morning by mistake. I even had the app't confirmation they sent me in the mail. But they have some other patient in that time slot. Never mind that I had to take a vacation day for this. Just another reason I avoid doctors like the plague.

Our phones are dead today. As always, AT&T says it must be something inside and tell me to unhook everything and plug it back in. It is never something with the inside wiring. Why do they always say that?; 9:15 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm guessing I'll spend the rest of my day with my cell phone on the front porch on hold with AT&T.; 9:16 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: THT, eff that. Show em your confirmation and demand to be seen. They're gonna get backed up at some point today, why shouldn't it be because of you?; 9:18 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ...and tell AT&T how bad your day is going already when you get a person. Ask them "You're a person, right? if you were in my situation, wouldn't you just want someone to help you. help me, please, as a person!"; 9:20 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Tar Heel, I agree with PF. You have the confirmation. You should show it to them and tell them you had to take a vacation day and that someone better see you.; 9:38 AM
Jet said...: Mr. Sensible ...

Tear down this wall!

Just kidding. I appreciate your sense and your sensibility.

I go back to the thoughts that I shared in that Barrel Fish Shoot -- I mean, debate -- with Jimmy Carter back in 1980.

Is Auburn basketball better off today than it was four years ago?

Let's all strive to make Auburn basketball that shining rim on a backboard.; 9:45 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: The Great Jetmmunicator,

Excellent point. Let's be good. That's my stance.; 9:48 AM
Norm said...: Wouldn't just being semi-competitive be an improvement? If so, is Lebo the man to get it there and keep it there? Perhaps not, but then I don't really follow basketball.; 10:00 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Wow, y'all did a crazy amount of posting last night. Entertaining game b/w the Saints and Vikings.

On an AU note, I'm not surprised that the AU men lost at Vandy, but kind of surprised that the women were beaten so handily by UK. The ladies' trip to Knoxville this week is probably not going to be pretty.; 10:10 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Scott Choco, the Ladies' game yesterday was pretty ugly.; 10:16 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: It wasn't a good weekend for AU sports in general. In addition to the basketball losses, the gymnastics and both the men's and women's swim teams lost. I don't think I can stand digging any deeper than that.; 10:29 AM
mytommyd said...: On a side note, my son and some of his buddies did a road trip to Indy(he's a Jets fan), and while at the game he noticed one of the players with a lot of Auburn gear on. Now this is what he's telling me. But other than Tony Richardson and Jerraud Powers, were there any other AU players in that Jets Colts game? And did anyone notice one of our guys sportin his AU stuff under the NFL stuff?; 10:31 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Mrtommyd, the only former Auburn player on the Colts' current roster is Powers.; 10:42 AM
mytommyd said...: BTW it's pretty cool that he's at an AFC championship, goes to UGA, and still notices the Auburn things going on around him.; 10:48 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Article about Bill Cody, former NO Saint and AU Tiger:

bigdaddy334 said...: Hello all I was out this weekend but back at work and on the internet today; 11:04 AM
bigdaddy334 said...: boss is at lunch thats why I am on the net; 11:05 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: But was it a good weekend for AU croutons?? That's all that really matters in sports now, right?; 11:06 AM
digger4au said...: Morning Hotties has the Al.comist session ended for now? Good, hope we all got it out of our system for now.
JGT might get out the big Hammer if we don't take our meds or take the tight sting off.; 11:09 AM
bigdaddy334 said...: Is Lebo gone yet. Does Jay have pictures of him with boxes?; 11:10 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: are you saying that me saying ninny is al.communist, digger? jhag said he's not afraid to hit an old man... :-); 11:20 AM
digger4au said...: NO PF and I saw that h jhag would but he could get thrown off a box a bannister or a roof.; 11:28 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: I just went back and read all the scrappin' from yesterday - good stuff! I think the whole problem was that the thread got off on the wrong foot with one of FSJ's irksome "#1" posts.; 11:40 AM
Seanzie said...: I'll be the devil...; 11:45 AM
Seanzie said...: So what's everyone up to this afternoon/morning?; 11:45 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Dang it, you made Saban miss it >>>; 11:46 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 11:46 AM
Seanzie said...: Scott...my bad but you did have 5 whole minutes to get in that spot.; 11:47 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Well, it's not like I had a Saban pic saved on my pc. :); 11:49 AM
Seanzie said...: Sure ya didn't...; 11:50 AM
CHB said...: Good morning all, anything been going on the past day and half?; 11:50 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Saban was also going to piss off PF by just saying, "666!".; 11:50 AM
Seanzie said...: You mean...666, aight?; 11:51 AM
CHB said...: By all accounts Coleman and Reed are sticking with AU. Howard visited Clempson after telling the coaches he wasn't. They are slightly upset with him.

There was a surprise visitor this weekend but it hasn't been leaked yet.; 11:51 AM
Seanzie said...: CH, Darius Robinson is who I think?; 11:52 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: That's even better! Maybe he'll get another chance next time there's a long thread.; 11:53 AM
Norm said...: Seanzie - if you're thinking he's the lead singer for Hootie & The Blowfish, you're incorrect.; 11:54 AM
Seanzie said...: Naw man, that's Darius Rucker. I saw him sing the National Anthem at a Titans game this year.; 11:55 AM
Norm said...: Kidding, I was pretty sure you knew that. I don't believe you're considered an idiot any longer are you?; 11:57 AM
CHB said...: D. Robinson is one thought but I'm thinking it someone that is committed and wants to keep it a secret for now.

Seanzie, since we get some of our info from the same spot I'm sure one of us will update the HABOTN when we find out.; 11:57 AM
CHB said...: I like Hootie as a counry singer.; 11:57 AM
Seanzie said...: Norm, that all depends on Macho Grande...I haven't heard from him in a while and no one else has bestowed said title on me since so...; 11:58 AM
