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.

Dangit, Faker distracted me so he could claim #1 all too himself.
ReplyDeleteTypical.
I'm sneaky like that.
ReplyDeleteI figure that Alabama and Auburn will be fighting it out for the fifth place in the West...in basketball.
I don't know if the state could handle having both teams be good in anything other than football.
Crap,
ReplyDeleteI'm on the old thread chatting with absolutely nobody....which is typical of me!!!
Were you answering yourself missinit?
ReplyDeleterepost from old thread...
ReplyDeletetechy peeps.... Seagate freeagent Go external hard drives? Yay or Nay?
I'm looking for a good, reliable, spacious but relatively cheap external hard drive to store music and photos on, in order to free up my laptop hard drive...Suggestions?
Looking at the Seagate Freeagent Go 320GB drive... for $79.00....thoughts?
Kentucky is showing no mercy toward one of their own...
ReplyDeleteI like it.
Thanks for clearing things up for me everyone from the last thread.
ReplyDeleteI was apparently too daft to realize what was going on.
My b.
NO...I was talking to you, FSJ!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll just bring it over.....
here it is,
I remember that too Faker,(when Jay G disabled comments) I thought he meant literally "shut it down" for a specified time...not just banhammering!!
Enough is enough. Lebo must go.
ReplyDeleteI have a Seagate 500 Gabi external drive. I've had no problems with it. Very user friendly.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in that as well, DM.
ReplyDeleteDecided to dump all my old camcorder tapes to the iMac, but wanted to put them on their own separate external drive.
That's a great price if the drive is decent - 25 cents per gigabyte.
Ugh..."Gabi" should read...Gb. stupid phone.
ReplyDeleteSorry missinit..
ReplyDeleteDidn't mean to ignore you..
That's the only time that I recall anything like that. At one time you didn't have to be registered to post but you had so many anonymous posters that it made it difficult to manage for Jay I think so he started requiring a registration.
Anyone watching the Kentucky - Arkansas game? UK is up 80-37 in 2nd.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Wildcats are finally playing a complete game.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, HOTTIES.
ReplyDeleteJay Jacobs will speak Farsi in Portuguese when he fires Lebo.
Meanwhile, Georgia's giving Tennessee all they want in the first half.
ReplyDeleteThe Dawgs don't have a great record, but they've had some tough losses to good teams, and a win over Georgia Tech.
Still can't talk very well since the surgery.
ReplyDeleteI've gone from nothing to sounding like I've smoked for 75 years. I'm still waiting on the deep, sexy, slightly raspy voice but to no avail I think I'm stuck in gruff mode.
Anyway, hubby is taking me out in public for dinner tonight to try to make me feel better. Hope it works.
Y'all have fun now!!!!
Miss... enjoy dinner and make the best of it.
ReplyDeleteI saw a thread on Scout last week that interested me. It opined that in addition to the AAU limitations that have been placed on Lebo in the past that the Under Armour contract is hurting as well.
ReplyDeleteUndeniably, the shoe companies control the AAU teams, and it's the AAU programs that are the feeders to the college more than the high schools. Under Armour is not a big deal in the AAU world like Nike and Adidas.
Lebo needs to go, but this is a subject worth exploring at the highest levels of Auburn athletics to see if we can do better.
AAU teams and college basketball recruiting is something that fascinates me.
ReplyDeleteSo messed up, especially when compared to college football recruiting.
I think Frontline should dedicate an episode to investigating it.
Raycom/Jefferson Pilot or whoever does the SEC games these days had a wonderful signal. The HD would start looking weird on the court, then it got to the point where they put up the "Technical problems" screen.
ReplyDeleteI left after they gave up and put on an episode of the Steve Harvey show.
Comcast in the Noog doesn't even try to show the SEC Network games in HD. This goes for both basketball and football.
ReplyDeleteSigh...
A couple of thoughts.
ReplyDeleteBeing from Baltimore...I love Under Armour..sorry
I am glad I also like ACC basketball, because AU stinks which is a shame.
Lastly, when the HABOTN shut down previously, I got the shakes.
JGT - That was a nice little bit about L.O. Hope he keeps helping you do your job when he is on campus.
ReplyDeleteE-Bro - I had the Auburn game on Comcast Sportsnet up here in HD. Then she blew up.
ReplyDeleteE-Bro, it (almost) appears that the culture is a La Cosa Nostra/Crips-Bloods kind of deal. For many players, you go where there is an affiliated program based on a shoe.
ReplyDeleteComcastic!
ReplyDeleteJet...I know.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's MESSED UP!
I just got a Samsung LED LCD....WOW!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, AUN104. What model?
ReplyDeleteI sprung for a 40" Sharp LED LCD before Christmas, and couldn't be happier.
Now if only I could figure out how to be home on Thursdays and Saturdays in the fall so I could watch it. . .
FearlessFreep, does your wife, Mrs Vet, have any preference on Total Hip Replacement vs the FHO method for a 70 pound, 7-yr old Golden Retriever recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia that is very dear to my family? The doctor is treating with medicines right now but I've been warned that the day to make that decision will come. My vet recommends the FHO due to cost, but I'm not concerned with the cost difference.
ReplyDeleteSamsung Series 6000.
ReplyDelete46" 1080p 120hz. It's crazy!
D.Miller
ReplyDeleteCouple of options:
Here's a 2.5" external HDD, ruggedized. It does not need a power adapter so that's good. 500 GB 2.5" drive - shockproof. I use it. It's on sale and that's a very good price.
A second option, if you want more storage, cheaper, however it requires power adapter and is not very portable / rugged. Here : Iomega 1GB external drive from Fry's
It says it is more energy efficient so I am going green, helping the economy and environment.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to watching the playoffs tomorrow.
Miller - Seagate makes good product. They're a solid company, their drives are typically very stable with little trouble. They're quite often seen elsewhere under other names too - i.e. the big server or PC companies will brand a Seagate with their own corporate name. That's speaking specifically towards their use as an internal (or external in the case of drive storage in a SAN environment) so I'm sure the same is true when used as external storage for a home system.
ReplyDeleteNext question?
Norm, what is the fastest animal on the earth?
ReplyDeleteJet - fastest "land" animal on earth is the Ethiopian Chicken.
ReplyDeleteYou missed the Airplane 2 opportunity, Norm.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm not up on 2 like I am the original. I still like my answer though for what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I'll ask her and let you know what she says.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's only advise was to make sure you use a board certified surgeon and get at least two opinions - even if you love your vet. I know there are three board certified surgeons in Birmingham, not sure about Huntsville. She just said sometimes one will see something the other doesn't, so it never hurts to have that 2nd opinion. She also said many of their rescue dogs had been able to avoid surgery by keeping their weight down and strengthening those muscles. She also said you really want to make sure that kind of surgery is a last option. Not sure any of that was new, but for what it's worth.
For your enjoyment: some random comments from a Bama fan on another message board about our very own JGT:
ReplyDelete"That guy is such a homer, he makes Charles Goldberg look like an Alabama fan...he and Goldberg have the biggest cases of Stockholm Syndrome I have ever seen."
Jet,
ReplyDeleteThe Cheetah, but I won't answer the next question that was asked.
Hey! He can't talk about Sportswriter Tate like that! Are we gonna stand for this? "Let's hang him in effigy!" "The heck with that, let's hang him right here in Boston!"
ReplyDeleteThanks Hotties! My doctor said he would only recommend Auburn for the THR. He also said we have just begun to fight with the meds. There's a few we can try. I have always tried to keep her lean for fear of hip dysplasia. I know it's not uncommon. I've just never dealt with it.
ReplyDeleteCincy ...
ReplyDeleteThat's because you are a lady.
bummer to lose again. what's the deal with these 11-13 point leads then falling apart? sigh.
ReplyDeleteI like embers.
ReplyDeleteLebo should stay. He is about to get the competitive advantage he has lacked at Auburn - facilities. He should get a chance to see if he can garner the necessary players to make Auburn better by using the facilities as a recruiting tool. To jettison him at this point would be early in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteSo let's all be the Auburn men and women we should be and support Coach Lebo and the Tigers.
P.S. Coach Fortner deserves a raise.
Anybody that thinks Lebo should stay... certainly is out of their freakin mind.
ReplyDeleteI think we should keep a coach just because we promised him a new arena before he was hired and we haven't yet delivered on that promise, so I must be out of my mind.
ReplyDeleteWhether he can coach or not, whether he can recruit or not, didn't we promise him an arena before he took the job?
Looks like it's me and you, THT. I agree with your statement as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember promising him an arena 6-7 years ago before he was hired... even if he was promised that... we took that step by building the arena... I do believe he promised a competitive team. He hasn't lived up to his promise.
ReplyDeleteI've been slapped around more than most for defending Lebo.
ReplyDeleteI think he's a good coach, but he's a poor fit. He's not getting it done.
He's had plenty of time to get the program heading in the right direction. He's on his way to his fourth 4-12 or worse SEC record in six years.
Auburn has invested heavily in a new arena. The leadership has to ask itself whether Jeff Lebo will do significantly better in the arena. I don't think the answer is yes.
Auburn has 90 million reasons to head in a new direction.
I can live with two more years of Basketball futility because I don't really care. But the longer he stays the further behind we get. It will be a shame to see that nice empty new arena but I will suffer through that also. Go Lebo beat them div II schools.
ReplyDeleteI'm a homer now?
ReplyDeleteI thought I was Jay G. Hate!
You got to be blind in one eye and stupid to think JGHate is a homer.
ReplyDeleteJGT, the dude must have been reading the HABOTN while you were on furlough. Homer you are not.
ReplyDeleteD Miller, Seagate is a good name brand. I would go for it. External hard drives are the way to go. Personally, I have 3 500GB external western digital myBook drives that have worked well for me. I basically have redundant backups on them and in the case of my computer turning to crap, I just hook up another and I am good to go. I would also recommend setting up something to regularly back up your internal hard drive data to the external drive. I have daily backups that run early in the morning.
ReplyDeleteBy "we", I didn't mean you or I, D. Miller. It was my understanding that Jay Jacobs promised Lebo an arena within 4 years. I do not know if that is accurate information or not. If it is, AU hasn't kept its end of the deal and owes it to Lebo to let him coach in the new arena. Whether he wins another game this season or not.
ReplyDeleteIf no such promises were made, it's way past time for a new coach.
SteveFC - by early in the morning, do you mean around 9 a.m.?
ReplyDeleteKathy:
ReplyDeleteFor what it is worth from a serial lurker:
Dr. James Milton is a retired professor from Auburn who runs a surgical clinic in Bammerham. His protege is Dr. Ballagas and I believe that all the vets in Birmingham consider their practice to be the best in the business.
They did back surgery on my dachshund about 2 years ago with great result.
Just an option in case you don't want to go all the way to Auburn (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Good luck in any event.
THT ...
ReplyDeleteYou are trying to enforce the unenforceable. There is no consideration given by Lebo for a $90 million arena.
Usually 7 or 8, but 9 would work too. I usually don't get up until about 11.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed we have an all SOAP channel. They really need to get an all fishing show channel for people that can't handle the excitement of the all SOAP channel.
THT... by "we" I was referring to AU... not us individual fans.
ReplyDeleteStill, Lebo has not held up his end of the deal. The business side of me says that Lebo has to go. AU does not want to open a new arena to the same (lack of) attendance. They have to bring in a new coach to breath new life, and hope, into the program. That is the only way to get attendance numbers up in the new arena.
I had hopes that Lebo would show improvement this season after finishing last season on a positive note, but I think all three of the positive notes graduated. No point in continuing to kick the dog after he is dead. Get a new coach.
ReplyDeleteI think people just spout off random stuff based on the topic at hand.
ReplyDeleteie If they're ripping homers, just rip the guy whose name happens to be in your mind.
If they're ripping haters, just rip the guys whose name happens to be in your mind ... even if it's the same guy you ripped for being a homer.
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteWe used Dr. Milton with our last Golden Girl, Molly, when our vet diagnosed her with osteosarcoma. He was great. Unfortunately we couldn't really do anything but give her pain meds and let her tell us when she had had enough. But if we had been able to do surgery, I would have felt very comfortable having him do it.
By the way, if you are a music lover, visit pandora.com. You won't be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteJust admit that you have split personalities and you're both a hater and homer.
ReplyDeleteHey, Jay. at least you are getting noticed.
ReplyDeleteJay, any publicity is good publicity. Just ask that radio show host in Birmingham.
ReplyDeleteI have pandora bookmarked and listen to it often. You are right Steve, you can set up any type music you like.
ReplyDeletePandora is awesome. I have a sound collection of around 20,000 files. Pandora basically replaces a lot of that all in one site.
ReplyDeleteTo be on the bad side of Necks is good.
ReplyDeleteI am really wishing I had Madden or NCAA for the ps3 right now... oh well... I guess I'll get on COD instead.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the vet references. I have noted their names for future reference. Hopefully I won't need them anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteLebo has trouble just keeping the players he signs. There is no evidence to show that changing. Getting rid of Lebo is fair, regardless of Arena or not. He is not cut to be the HC at Auburn. More people dislike him than like him.
ReplyDeleteAt one time, more people disliked Chizik than liked him. Clearly, that wasn't fair.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem leading the "Save Lebo" train.
So you think he has shown the ability to win games? Put a quality product on the floor? Manage a game? Teach fundamentals? Anything that even closely resembles what a (even mildly) successful basketball coach should?
ReplyDeleteI don't see it. And believe me, I have tried.
Changing the subject, but this is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteEven more cowbell
I have not problem leading the "Lebo must go" train.
ReplyDeletenot=no
ReplyDeleteI don't personally know anyone that dislikes Lebo. I do however know a lot of AU folks that think he should be replaced.
ReplyDeleteI realize that AU and most of the SEC struggle to attract players with the best fundamentals and must rely on athleticism, but the few times I've watched AU, we seem to be very undisciplined with wildly varying focus. It seems to be just a bunch of dudes making individual plays. That seems to poor coaching.
Sid the Kid
ReplyDeleteBEASLEY!!!
ReplyDeleteNice link Cincy, I love Will Ferrel.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen "Stranger Than Fiction"?
Agreed Hoopie, I like Lebo but I don't think he is the one to turn it around.
ReplyDeleteStranger Than Fiction...good film.
ReplyDeleteI dug it.
It was nice to see Will Ferrell in such an atypical Will Ferrell performance.
yeah it wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought he brought his typical antics to a different role.
ReplyDeleteI liked the fact that Ferrell was one of the lower key characters in the film. Didn't overplay anything.
ReplyDeleteKind of like Jim Carey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I just saw the funniest commercial.
ReplyDeleteLovrub...give her lovrub for Valentine's day.
Thanks for the link Cincy. We went to bed just as Will Ferrell came on the show.
ReplyDeletePrayers continued regarding your daughter.
Loved the way Conan went out. Save time. Boycott the Tonight Show and it's sponsors until Conan is back. I will miss him.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cincy. I enjoyed that.
ReplyDeleteI think Lebo has had plenty of time and some extra to show what he can do. I don't see that a new arena will make any difference in that. Extra years for Lebo are likely to be wasted years.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone expects championship teams, but I think everyone expects teams that aren't and embarrassment.
and=an
ReplyDeleteI love the TV show called "Shark Tank". It's a reality show where investors entertain offers from entreprenuers and make deals. I do deals to make a living all day long and obviously can't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about Lebo as a man... I am sure he is a fine person, and I have nothing against him in that regard. But, he's not the right fit at AU. He's had every opportunity to make something work, and nothing has. Don't feed me the whole "he had limitations" crap... Every coach has to deal with limitations of some form or fashion... a good coach knows how to overcome them.
ReplyDeleteDM, I agree ...Lebo did have limitations, but except for the new arena those limitations are gone and he should have been able to overcome better than he has.
ReplyDeleteThere are some parallels to be drawn between Lebo and the former football coach whose name we are not supposed to utter.
ReplyDeleteHe has had some success against our program's No. 1 rival -- but the coach he abused so frequently is no longer there. He's had some impressive wins.
Considering where we were when he arrived, back to back 4-12 seasons were understandable. And who among us wasn't impressed in year 3 when we were in the hunt for a bye in the SEC tournament on the final day of the regular season?
Then, we took a step backward with a third 4-12 season.
Last season, you can argue whether we belonged in the NCAA tournament, but it was a successful year by Auburn standards.
Here's the ultimate point: last season created a standard of where we want our team to be. It was not a blank check to take a step backward.
In our division, four of the programs have impressive coaches with a history of success. John Pelphrey has issues to settle at Arkansas. Who's the weak link on the other side?
We've bet $90 million on basketball. There's no time for emotion, a sense of entitlement, or anything else.
The stakes are too high.

ReplyDeleteIs Montgomery Burns the publisher of the Advertiser?
ReplyDeleteSportswriter Homer.
ReplyDeleteAny thoughts on Mike Davis replacing Lebo? I believe once before it could have happened
ReplyDeleteJohnnie Cochran, Mr. Simpson's attorney, said his client will only take a positive attitude in the future toward Auburn: "If he must roast, he will not post."
ReplyDeleteWhat is basketball?
ReplyDeleteAlan, it scares me. Not sure what to think of him. He was in a no-win situation in Indiana. Wondering if this year is a mirage at UAB.
ReplyDeleteUrban's leave of absence = an hour for lunch on Thursdays.

To compare Lebo with one of the most successful football coaches in school history is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteCincy, this is for you - "I'm gonna put on, my my my my my boogie shoes."
ReplyDeleteDoes that help?
Sports Reporter Tate is cautious with breaking news, accurate, on point and never employs sensationalism to gain an audience. That is solid journalism and far from a homer.
ReplyDeleteP Marshall has been called a homer because he has tended to give benefit of doubt. Personally I admire a reporter not piling on when there is resonable doubt.
I guess Walmartians expect anything less than Finescum-type antics to be homerism.
resonable = reasonable
ReplyDeleteYeah, Norm, that's great. Kind of like jumping from the frying pan into the fire :)
ReplyDeleteJust read Jerraud Powers is doubtful for the game tomorrow. Bunner.
ReplyDeleteJay's style suits me very well. With him you aren't riding the rumor train and you get information rather than speculation. Yes, I read other blogs, but it is the difference between looking for opinion and looking for facts.
ReplyDeleteBunner, cincy? One who buns?
ReplyDeleteyeah, michael, don't you know bunning?
ReplyDeleteSRV ... a true star.
ReplyDeletea.) He played the same guitar 98% of the time and named it "No. 1."

Good Morning!!
ReplyDeleteIf We Get Lattimore and Dyer - You See a Red Shirt? What's the possibilities of a redshirt for either/both of these guys? Looking at our '10 roster of Aycock, Smith, Fannin & McCalebb I don't think we are deep enough to afford siting either one of them down for a season. This is assuming they can pick up the offense. We don't have an every down back listed in the quartet above. I think they both play as true freshmen.
Thoughts?
Good morning, LT and all the Hotties. Just finished breakfast and reading the paper after watching the Clark Howard Show earlier this morning. Sunday mornings are so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteHeadline in Raleigh paper: ACC still trails SEC in football recruiting.
That's news?
G'morning HABOTN
ReplyDeleteTHT- Check your email. It's bridge time. no excuses.
Loganville ...
ReplyDeleteRedshirting is so 1980s and 1990s, particularly on your top recruits. It's a use-it-or-lose-it world out there now. These kids aren't looking at being on campus on five years. They're looking at being there for three. If they can play, you better play 'em.
Jay,
ReplyDeleteGood article on Auburn recruiting.
Good morning, hotties!
That seems to be the trend now Jet. Take Knowshon for example - came out after his redshirt sophomore year. Use It or Loose It is very accurate.
ReplyDeleteSo Jeff Driskel has been a lifelong Auburn fan and one of the top 2011 QB prospects.
ReplyDeleteKiehl Frazier is another top 2011 QB prospect. He is from Shiloh Christian, Gus' school. He's also interested in Auburn.
I think one of them would get seastrunked.
Sportswriter Homer Tate - nice recruiting article in MA this morning. Especially the stuff on page 2.
ReplyDeleteAero - Is that the new term? I won't say anything until it is official. : )
ReplyDeleteAnother 2011 prospect from Gus' school, Shiloh Christian.

Aero, I was so taken with your use of the word "seastrunked," that I looked it up in the dictionary:
ReplyDeleteSeastrunked -- verb -- to jilt; to forgo; to recruit, then not sign.
Lebo needs to go. We are starting four seniors, so next year will be a "rebuilding year"?
ReplyDeleteWe're going down from what we've got this year?
Let's start next season with new arena, new coach and new life breathed into the Auburn BB program!
Tornado sirens going off here in Prattvegas. Let's hope nothing serious comes from that.

Great article JGT. These coaches are earning their pay.
ReplyDeleteSo Urban will be coaching spring practice. There is more to this story than we know. What a strange situation.
True Kathy, it gets stranger as time goes on.
ReplyDeleteGood article on the Trooper Towel and Charity:
ReplyDeleteCoach's towel sparks idea for fundraiser
Occasionally I hear a quote in sports that I find intriguing. It is a quote the lets me know why I am just a spectator and there people are professionals. I was listening to a replay of a boxing max on HBO this morning and a trainer was giving his boxer advice in Spanish. For some reason the fighter didn't listen to the advice and got knocked out. What was the advice?
ReplyDelete"Don't let him hit you"!!!
Simple, yet brilliant.
lattimore
ReplyDeleteAU's #1 remaining uncommitted target. i hope cam can get him the short passes as well as his hs qb.
dyer
ReplyDeletejust in case some folks have not seen what these coaches are going after.
they should make a great combo.
Sage advice FC. I could have used a little advice like that in times gone by.
ReplyDeleteok, bridge time is over. We had fun even though my bidding left a lot to be desired.
ReplyDeleteExcellent article this morning, Homer.
Lattimore reminds me a lot of Eric Dickerson in his stance and running style in those clips Chip. Lets hope he is a Clone.
ReplyDeleteLattimore is a very mature, respectable young man. He will have a bright future and will be a tremendous asset to either team.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we got Dyer!
Dyer seems to mimic more of a Michael Turner for Atlanta in the last clip Chip. Better off between the tackles with good power.
ReplyDeleteIf we can get both, that will be one One Hell'uv'a Combination at running back.
Inside - Outside.
LT
I love the Sam Harvill video play where he tackles the ENTIRE BACKFIELD, the QB and BOTH RBs.
ReplyDeleteMrsTHT and I are out for a walk before the rain gets here. Then must get some nonHABOTN things done :-(
ReplyDeleteY'all have a great Sunday afternoon, Hotties. Penguins on NBC in 30 minutes, BTW.
I just looked up Dickerson's career - I remember him playing for the Falcons, but thought it was for an entire season. Only played 4 games in '93 and then failed his physical the following year.
ReplyDeleteThe mind is the second thing to go.
Loganville, for some reason I thought he played there longer as well.
ReplyDeleteEric Dickerson will always be remembered for 2 things.
ReplyDeleteCrazy goggles.
And constantly referring back to himself as a Monday Night Football sideline reporter.
Question about Sam Harvill if he in fact he plays at Auburn. Will the coaches let him play with all that crap on his face? I see that he is an incredibly strong kid, and plays really good defensive line. I just don't get the whole playing with all the crap on your face thing.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna cheer for the Flyers, THT, but I love Ray Emery. He's a badass.
ReplyDeleteJust saw another thing on Sam - he's 6'1" although he's probably got some growing to do, but 6'1" doesn't put you on the D line, right? Incredibly strong and evidently very smart kid, so I'm sure they'd look at him, but with 4.98 speed is he a LB? Plus he has all that crap on his face.
ReplyDelete6'1" and just finishing his junior year? I think I might have been 5'6" as a junior... and I'm 6'1"...
ReplyDelete6'1" is fine for a DT... I don't think Josh Thompson was even 6'0", was he?
Yeah, but Josh didn't have all that crap on his face
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, in truth I thought d line guys were well over 6' but that may just be me.
ReplyDeleteAnd Josh according to one roster thing I just looked at played at 6' 301 lb.
ReplyDeleteIf Josh Thompson was 5-10, then Dewayne Reed is the paragon of hoops discipline.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I read where Big Bird recommended Dr. Milton and Dr. Ballagas. And, Cincy, Dr. Milton. When Geno was attacked and his leg was broken, Dr. Ballagas did his surgery. I HIGHLY recommend him! Not only is he a great surgeon, but he is very compassionate and has a fantastic bedside manner. When we told him that even though they shouldn't be, finances were an issue. He said not worry about that and that he would do right by our dog no matter what. We dealt with Dr. Milton once. While I'm sure he is great surgeon, his bedside manner was a lot drier and matter-of-fact.
ReplyDeleteThank you Luv. These recommendations have provided me with reassurance. Hopefully we won't have to cross that bridge for quite a while. The medicine has helped her. She is walking on that leg again and bouncing around like she feels good. I'm not naive. I know that it will continue to deteriorate. She will let me know when it's time for further action.
ReplyDeleteEEEESH...anyone watching the Lady Tigers? Kentucky is pretty much dismantling them. It's painful to watch. UK is up by 20. Not to mention the announcers are falling all over themselves singing UK's praises.
ReplyDeleteWatching Colts/Jets.....
ReplyDeleteWas that out eagle?
"Our"
ReplyDeleteI was wondering that also LT. I turned it on right as he started to fly so I didn't know if they announced it or not. I gave a big War Eagle anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf they announced anything about the eagle at all, I missed it.
ReplyDeleteIs there a difference between Western Digital and Seagate brands for the external hard drive?
ReplyDeleteMy IT guys believe in both..... It Maxar(sp) if I recall they said was crap. I have WD 10K RPM in this new computer with no complaints so far. A Seagate 1.5 TB as back up. My IT guys aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer though
ReplyDeleteWe had a DT named DeMarco McNeil while the great coach of all time, Mike Dubose, was at the evil empire. He was highly regarded and wanted to go to the evil empire but he didn't meet the Dubosian height requirement that he gave his staff for prototypical linemen. Dubose regretted it. I believe McNeil's NFL career was cut short because of back problems, but he was a heck of a football player.
ReplyDeleteD. Miller, I am not an expert but Seagate seems to be a better brand. They are what we support in the server products I develop. We don't even test Western Digital.
ReplyDeleteI do use Western Digital for my external drives, but if it is strictly a quality comparison, I go with Seagate. I went the quantity route with 3 external drives.
ReplyDeleteI saw the eagle at the Colts-Jets game too- my first thought was it was Spirit, but then I caught a glimpse of where the bird was expected to land- they had a guy with his arm out on top of a yellow box. That's not how SERRC trained our eagles to land- they put a target on the ground and let them hit it.
ReplyDeleteStill- I think we can claim copyright on the whole "fly an eagle during pregame" concept. Maybe we could sue 'em. ;)
That eagle flight was pretty cool. Yes, it made me think of Auburn.
ReplyDeleteWow, the Jets just opened up a can.
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought of the four teams playing today, the Jets would have quick strike TD.
