Oh yes he did ...

Hey everyone. The Dothan Eagle is reporting that Troy offensive coordinator Neal Brown has accepted the same position at Texas Tech under new coach Tommy Tuberville.

Brown is a nearly exact replica of Tony Franklin and has described Franklin as his mentor. They run essentially the same offense.

What can Auburn fans take from this? Tuberville clearly didn't consider Franklin's offense, the one that went awry during Auburn's 2008 season, the primary problem. It was a personnel problem from the beginning.

Scott Chocolate said...: Maybe if we flip the page, the conversation will change.; 1:33 PM
Seanzie said...: Good try, Eddie. You've snagged a couple from me before.; 1:33 PM
michael said...: Scott C - since you are connected to Kristina through esp, please tell her not to cash her next paycheck until at least the first week of February.; 1:33 PM
Seanzie said...: Kathy, are you sure you have the right Craig Stevens?; 1:33 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: yeah, refreshed to late on that one.; 1:34 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Goat biz not doing so well?; 1:34 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Not that I'm asking you about your business. Biz and business are two different things.; 1:34 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Scott C- It doesn't help Michael when he taints the product.; 1:35 PM
Unknown said...: Someone post a new topic. The past or who will be the QB has been beat to death. Crootin has also gotten old.

Who will be the next star wide receiver? Will Emory of Benton pan out?

What will our DBs look like next season? Jay has already said Etheridge may not be back.

What new players will have immediate impact?

There are topics we have not beat to death yet.; 1:36 PM
michael said...: No Scott C, I just have a lot tied up in investments right now. I have a warehouse full of canned ham and baby ferrets that should produce a pretty good profit for me in the near future. Also, there is a dude in Idaho who owes me some money, I I plan on collecting that at the beginning of February (or cutting off his pinkie toe).

Don't ask me about my business.; 1:37 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Steve, albeit with the benefit of hindsight, we now know that Auburn's 06-07 recruiting classes were suckaliscious, at best. I'm not talking about "recruiting mags" or stars, I'm talking about meaningful contributions on the field. By the measure that they themselves heralded as significant, and rightfully so, the Tubs regime underperformed relative to their own past performance. You can also see it in the ranks of AU players to the NFL (which correlates with meaningful contributions on the college field).; 1:38 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: the JGT HABOTN poll has votes from all purely northern hemisphere continents and no votes from the southern hemisphere. Are the results valid?; 1:38 PM
Aeronaut said...: Black socks / shoes or the new white ones?; 1:38 PM
Unknown said...: And Eddie, your list of eight two star players that didn't pan out would be very interesting. I am always fascinated about the guys that are juniors or seniors and I have never heard their names.; 1:39 PM
Aeronaut said...: *gnaws on his foot*; 1:40 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Apologies, all. I see my previous post falls into a prohibited category and has been declared off limits by the Topic Czar from Lubbock; 1:40 PM
CHB said...: anyone hear about the XCTT interview? He said he has never been at a school that spends the money on facilities. What? Auburn keeps up with the big boys as well as anyone.; 1:41 PM
Unknown said...: CH=B, that is interesting. I bet he is still pissed about not getting the new indoor practice facitily.; 1:42 PM
Unknown said...: Surely he doesn't mean the size of the stadium, which I consider decided by the fans.; 1:43 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I am off to buy some weights for a Pinewood Derby car. If we are still discussing the same topic when I get back, I may eat a couple of them.; 1:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: make sure they are lead, and dip them in chocolate first.; 1:45 PM
Harrison said...: you could coat them in chocolate first; 1:45 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: *lead-free; 1:46 PM
Kathy said...: Pretty sure it is the Auburn Craig Stevens judging by his profile picture (@Fosicks/Home: Auburn,AL/Tallahassee, FL); 1:46 PM
Unknown said...: Kathy, I do believe Fosicks is Craig Stevens. I use to follow him on twitter, although I stopped a while back.; 1:47 PM
Kathy said...: JGT, paging JGT, can you help us out regarding Craig Stevens' whereabouts?; 1:47 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Hi Aero.; 1:48 PM
Unknown said...: "Tony Franklin: 'I'm a huge Texas Tech-Tommy Tuberville fan'"

A very interesting article.; 1:50 PM
Jay 'W. not Tate' said...: man, this is TOOOOOOOOOO funny. The guy that was too chicken $hit to can his buddies for the betterment of the team, is now going with the ultimate slap in the face to them. Why didn't he just hire Tony Franklin back???; 1:51 PM
Unknown said...: The OL coach at Texas Tech was under Franklin at Troy too.

As for whether CTT would have canned the coaches, we will never know. He left.; 1:54 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Steve- Most don't make it to Junior or Seniors, but if you insist, here are some great 2-Star or lower Tubs players, those diamonds in the rough...

Rivals Tracks back to 2002, so here are all these diamonds of 2-star or less, but 90% or greater are 2-Star:

Troy Bergeron
Michael Gibson
Lee Guess
Mike Sherrill
Kyle Derozan
Bruce Edwards
Marquis Gunn
Rudy Taylor
Merrill Johnson
Michael McLaughlin
Charles Mullen
Korey Raymond
Greg Smith
James Swinton
John Watts
Ulysses Alexander
Robert Dunn
Zach Kutch
Sen'Derrick Marks
Zach Clayton
Steven Ensminger
Ryan Shoemaker
Brandon Earl
Chris Zinn
Ken Adams
Da'Shaun Barnes
Dax Dallenbach
Derrick Lykes
Spencer Pybus
Brandon Smith
Derek Winter

So, that is one steller list. Please spare me the Sen'Derrick argument from now on.; 1:54 PM
Unknown said...: I wouldn't exactly call all of those guys busts. Many played and Marks plays on Sunday.; 1:56 PM
Unknown said...: Shoemaker, Pybus, Winter all played.; 1:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Kathy,

I'm on hold with NCAA. I'll let you know if I can find out anything.; 1:57 PM
Unknown said...: Dunn was a pretty decent receiver. That is a big mixture of players.

Was Greg Smith a two star? I thought he was suppose to be very highly rated.; 1:59 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Steve- If you think Pybus is good and didn't play because of poor recruiting....nevermind, I'm a liar.; 2:00 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Steve- Greg Smith Auburn how? He was more highly rated as a juco than out of HS. Still, BUST!; 2:01 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Sorry, meant to say Greg Smith helped Auburn..HOW?; 2:01 PM
Aeronaut said...: *runs out of foot*; 2:02 PM
Unknown said...: Pybus has had issues with concussions. He played and was decent.

As for Smith, he did nothing.; 2:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Aero - that's funny!; 2:03 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Pybus- ALL-SEC Freshman...; 2:03 PM
michael said...: You know fellas, Scott C wasn't lying earlier. I was making a joke about the two star thing earlier in an effort to show that this was another "Pull the String on the HABOTN Doll" argument that has been rehashed a billion times.

I didn't mean for this to happen. Now all this blood is on my hands.; 2:04 PM
michael said...: I feel like Gilbert Arenas. I was just joking when I pointed that gun. Can't you understand, officers?; 2:05 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Michael is not lying...time to send the pitch forks and mob heading his way.; 2:05 PM
Unknown said...: Wasn't Lee Guess a teamate of one of our QBs in H.S. He did play a bit, but I certainly wouldn't consider him a star.; 2:05 PM
ehyou said...: Jeez Louise; 2:06 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Steve from Lubbock complaining about topics being beaten to death? Bweahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha; 2:07 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Kathy - you can relax. NCAA says it's not an issue, assuming he didn't officially transfer to the other school. He's presumably enrolled as a part-time student at A&M. He just needs to be enrolled at AU this fall to suit up for the Tigers.; 2:11 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Yeah, THT is right. He's okay if he's classified as transient and his home school is Auburn. Why he would miss spring practice is baffling, but people have lives outside of football that need to be attended to.; 2:13 PM
Harrison said...: Michael, that blood on your hands is from all those drifters you've killed.; 2:14 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: btw, Steve from Lubbock doesn't want us to talk about dead horse topics anymore....; 2:14 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks THT. That is good news.; 2:14 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Aero,

Good to see you posting again.

Sincerely,

WarEagleRK; 2:14 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: He was trying to get into FAMU ... with student aid.

OGOchoCinco

I was looking for cigars to celebrate going back to school but they denied my student loan and my unemployment applications; 2:15 PM
Harrison said...: To me, the only good horse is a dead horse; 2:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: drifterS?

I thought there was only the one buried in the NW end zone corner of Pat Dye Field at J-H Stadium.

This is going to make me rethink everything I've ever learned on HABOTN.; 2:16 PM
Kathy said...: Thanks THT for researching! And PF! Apparently he is still working out. And he says he has senioritis! Maybe he doesn't feel he needs Spring practice, but I'm relieved all is well. He is very reliable on D.; 2:16 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Greg Smith was a large human being.; 2:16 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JGT - so was Aubrey Phillips. And that's not all they had in common.; 2:17 PM
Unknown said...: Jay, I assume the question was to name a positive aspect of Greg Smith. I still remember him saying he thought he would play and possibly start his first game at Auburn.; 2:18 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I remember Greg Smith in high school and he was a force, but when we signed him I figured he wouldn't quailify.

However, I don't know at what point he was a 2 star, because he was highly recruited coming out of HS and of juco.; 2:19 PM
Harrison said...: THT-I've said too much; 2:19 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I had a conversation last night that was a bit disturbing. It made me realize that while I'm a bit of a foodie, I also really like trashy food. Dominos pizza, gas station chicken and potato wedges, 50 cent frozen burritos, and Wendy's spicy chicken nuggets are just some of the things that I gather enjoyment from eating.; 2:20 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: PF - just reading that made my gallbladder hurt.; 2:21 PM
Harrison said...: i really dig Hungry Howie's pizza although I know it's disgusting to most people.; 2:22 PM
Jet said...: OMG!

MICHAEL KILLED KRISTINA!

AND HARRISON KNOWS ABOUT IT!; 2:24 PM
Kathy said...: This guy doesn't rank Auburn's chances very high for Lattimore's commitment.

http://www.maxpreps.com/news/EEYC_P-oEd6UswAcxJTdpg/lattimore-weighs-college-options.htm; 2:24 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Greg Smith was rated a 2-Star coming out of HS. He was then rated a 5-star out of JUCO.; 2:25 PM
Harrison said...: i didn't see nutin'; 2:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Kristina may have been many things, including a zookeeper, but I never saw her drift. She was always firmly planted on that treasured piece of real estate in front of the old Foy Union.; 2:25 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I just can't explain it, THT. I cook often, and only use really fresh, high quality ingredients. I generally look for restaurants that do the same, but for some reason there are exceptions.

Must come from the same part of my brain that causes my love for Monster Trucks and cheap beer (PBR, Schlitz, Budweiser, Old Milwaukee, and High Life can frequently be seen in my refrigerator).; 2:26 PM
Seanzie said...: PBR is disgusting.; 2:31 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Anyone see the new Samsung remote at the CES that had a TV display, on the actual remote, that can be tuned to another channel than the TV? Takes channel surfing to a whole new level.; 2:31 PM
Seanzie said...: I've never been brave enough to have Schlitz or Old Milwaukee but I've been told OM is basically the same as PBR.

I dig the Bud Heavy from time to time and I've been to known to live the High Life.; 2:32 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Seanzie, how can something that won a blue ribbon be disgusting?; 2:32 PM
Seanzie said...: Well, it won a Blue Ribbon, what, 120 years ago? 120 years ago I'm sure Horse and Buggy won Motor Trend Truck of the year but I doubt we'd still drive it.; 2:33 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Schlitz, Ole Mill, and PBR are all similar beers from a different era, yes.; 2:33 PM
Seanzie said...: Full disclosure: I am a huge beer snob.; 2:34 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Horse and Buggies are awesome. I rode in one recently. The lack of climate control kinda sucks, but I've driven cars without A/C before.; 2:34 PM
Seanzie said...: Though I love Coors. I love that happy-crappy.; 2:34 PM
ehyou said...: Old Milwaukee is really, really, really good stuff.; 2:36 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Coor Original: also a good beer. Most beer snobs I know agree on this. Most don't hate PBR, though.; 2:36 PM
Seanzie said...: Don't get me wrong, if it's Beer Thirty and all there is is PBR and someone is giving it to me, I will drink it. I would just really prefer not to. After I choke down the first couple it all tastes the same.; 2:37 PM
Harrison said...: also a beer snob. Only drink cheap/light beer on high quantity days; 2:38 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: My beer fridge right now:

Bell's Oberon
Bell's Two Hearted Ale
PBR
Duvel
Holy Mackerel
Anchor Steam Liberty Ale
High Life
Coor's Original; 2:42 PM
ehyou said...: I know exactly what you mean PF. I have a sophisticated palate, but also like "Carnie Food"...corn dogs, popcorn, funnel cakes, etc.; 2:42 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: oh, and Left Hand Milk Stout.; 2:42 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Beer- Stella, Fat Tire, Bass, Becks & Amstel Light are my choices.; 2:43 PM
weagle251 said...: Can you claim to like Budweiser and still be a beer snob? I think there's a rule against that in the manual somewhere.; 2:43 PM
Seanzie said...: I think I have half a six pack of Dos Equis Amber and 1 can of High Life...and that's it. I need to make a serious beer run.; 2:43 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: glad I'm not alone ehyou...

okay, I'm out for a while. return to your regularly scheduled conversation: Steve from Lubbock beating a dead horse.; 2:44 PM
weagle251 said...: I dig your taste, PF.; 2:44 PM
Seanzie said...: Eddie, I like em all save Amstel, have never had it.

My go to beers for regular consumption:
Yuengling
Sam Adams
Smithwick's
Stella
Sweetwater; 2:45 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Anyone notices that Steve disappears around the time of the San Diego Comic-Con?; 2:45 PM
michael said...: A number of things:

1) I only feel guilty for metaphorical blood spilled on HABOTN. I feel no guilt for killing drifters in self defense.

2) THT, I only put that one drifter on the map because I actually buried him in the JH endzone, so I figured it was kind of applicable.

3) I didn't kill Kristina, but I did see her at Disney World apparently. My wife yelled "War Eagle" to someone passing by, I caught a glimpse, and thought "Hmmm... was that Kristeenuh?", tried a Hottie Ho, but she was too far, and then confirmed via facebook that it was her. So Eddie now has someone else to join the club of People MJT Has Walked By; 2:45 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: 251, that's exactly why I don't claim to be a beer snob. that club has a stupid rulebook...but they still like coming over and sampling the goods in my fridge.

Plus, I drink only Bourbon half of the year.; 2:46 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Michael- I was there at the same time, saw you and decided to ignore you :).; 2:47 PM
Seanzie said...: Bourbon, that's a man drink right there. I've never been a huge fan.

I'm more of a Canadian whiskey guy.; 2:47 PM
Harrison said...: i'm a scotch guy. no Ron Burgundy joke there. I enjoy scotch; 2:49 PM
Unknown said...: PF, you seem to have taken the reins in terms of horse beating as well as pointless comments.

As for beer, I knew a Schlitz fan and thought it was okay. As for PBR or MB, those are beers I have had when the cost of beer was a concern. Basically, they are for people that can't afford better.; 2:51 PM
Aeronaut said...: merci beaucoup, Rk...et la bonne nuit; 2:51 PM
CHB said...: Kathy, I think I saw the thing about Lattimore on maxprep but I think it's really old.

Also not to step on any toes, but I answered the question about Stevens a long time ago without calling the NCAA. Sorry THT.

What the heck is going on today with Steve and Eddie. All this talk about a former coach. I thought that was banned? can we give it a rest. He isn't here anymore. We have a great new staff that will be recruiting their butts off. So lets look to the very bright future and not the past.; 2:52 PM
Unknown said...: As for Lattimore, at this point I would be a little disappointed if we didn't get him, but he won't be a make or break for this class. I consider getting Eric Mack much more important.; 2:52 PM
Unknown said...: CH=B, I agree, although there is some interesting news out. It isn't worth going into in depth analysis.; 2:53 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: CH=B- I believe i'm just one of a few with conversations with Steve, I just stand out. I get bored and can't help myself. Give it a rest...what would we talk about then?; 2:53 PM
CHB said...: Give me some Maker's Mark and diet coke and I'm good. Or just a plain ole Miller/Bud light. Pretty simple drinker I guess.; 2:54 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Well..i'll give it a rest. I'm headed home. Check y'all later.; 2:54 PM
Harrison said...: Michael- i wonder if we crossed paths while I lived in Huntsville. Did you used to frequent "Visions" a lot? Or Hooters? or that really dirty looking strip club before the bridge?; 2:54 PM
weagle251 said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 2:55 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: As for PBR or MB, those are beers I have had when the cost of beer was a concern. Basically, they are for people that can't afford better.
Ok, I'll stick around for a bit

Basically, I can afford better, and most of the hipsters that are making PBR the fastest growing brand over the past year can afford better.

You can call my comments pointless if it makes you feel better, and they are, but people don't chew their feet off when I start making five consecutive posts about the same dead topic, with very little insightful value.; 2:55 PM
weagle251 said...: I'll take either, Seanzie. :D

On a completely unrelated note, what would you think about this as the pregame video next season. Hip-hop's not my thing, but there're some pretty good zingers in this one.

Video Link; 2:56 PM
Unknown said...: I drink rarely. When I was young I did drink some of the cheap beers mentioned. Back in the good ole days, we could drink when we were 18.

These days I either do Coors Light, Wine, Mixed Drinks, and the occasional high dollar beer.; 2:56 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I consider getting Eric Mack much more important.

Now, this isn't pointless, but you've made this point, verbatim, in every thread for the last six months.; 2:56 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks for the running commentary, PF. I am sure that someone considers it useful.; 2:58 PM
Harrison said...: sam smith imperial stout and old rasputin stout are 2 of my favorite beers of all time. when i can find them; 2:58 PM
Unknown said...: And PF, you might be interested to know that I didn't start the Lattimere discussion. I just commented on a comment. But, I guess that you find commenting on comments to comments beneficial, so we can do that.; 2:59 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Some people consider your drivel useful, too...it's all the same bag, man.; 2:59 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: what I quoted did not mention Lattimore.; 3:00 PM
Unknown said...: Harrison, I don't believe I have had either of those. I may have to give them a shot.; 3:00 PM
Unknown said...: You are correct that what you quoted did not include Lattimere.; 3:00 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: aren't we all commenting on comments about comments?; 3:01 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: That was fun. Thanks.; 3:01 PM
Unknown said...: I assumed so. It is why I comment on your comments about comments. I assumed that is what you come here for.; 3:02 PM
weagle251 said...: Internet Slap Fight; 3:02 PM
Seanzie said...: Sam Smith is good, downsides are it's hard to find and it comes in 4 packs.

I had some really good oatmeal stout at a microbrew I can't recall in Denver. I don't recall much about my Denver trip, actually; 3:02 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: What do you come here for?; 3:03 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I remember being a poor student and drinking a lot of Milwaukee's Best...and if that's the best Milwaukee can do, then they should just shut down the whole city.; 3:03 PM
Seanzie said...: I come here for the ladies.; 3:03 PM
Seanzie said...: RK, that made me laugh out loud. Well said. I have many not so fond memories of the Beast.; 3:04 PM
Harrison said...: RK- I drank Beast Light all through college cause it was like 6 bucks for 12 of them. You could also take em to a party and no one would steal them; 3:05 PM
michael said...: Eddie - For realz? We could have had a Hotties-only teacup ride if we had coordinated better.

Harrison - I filed a sexism lawsuit that eventually resulted in landing a job as a waiter at Hooters awhile back, so maybe I had you at a table one afternoon.

Amberbock is my favorite cheap beer, Newcastle favorite mid range, I don't know enough about the gourmet ones but know I have liked the ones I have had, I like dry red wine, and my favorite alcoholic drink of all is rum and coke.; 3:05 PM
Seanzie said...: mmmmhmmmm rum and coke. My fave is the Captain and Coke with the lime squeezed in it.; 3:06 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Harrison,

Same here.; 3:06 PM
Unknown said...: "What do you come here for?"

To comment on your comments about my comments, obviously. They seem to be what you value. But I must get off to work. I have a meeting.; 3:06 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: This alcohol discussion is much better than what was going on when I left, but has threatened to veer of course. Steve from Lubbock - if Michael says anything about football he is kidding.

Harrison, that Rasputin Stout is seriously good stuff.; 3:09 PM
Seanzie said...: Now if you've ever made it through a case of Beast Ice you get the glutton for punishment award.; 3:09 PM
CHB said...: All this talk about beer and college; I might just go home and do a keg stand.; 3:10 PM
Seanzie said...: I had a guy in college try to explain to me with a straight face how Natty Light is a quality brew. He might not have been completely sober but definitely sober enough to know better.; 3:11 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: "SteveFC? I'm SteveFL".
"Nice to meet you".
"Well, I gotta go, some people want to read my posts".
"Dang, me too".
"Meeting adjourned, then, I guess".
"Yep".; 3:12 PM
Harrison said...: Choc- only one guy here carries it and he only has it sometimes, so whwen i do find it, it tastes even better; 3:12 PM
CHB said...: Not sure if my wife and FAUWG can hold me up long enough.; 3:12 PM
Seanzie said...: Has anyone ever seen a person pass out during a kegstand?; 3:13 PM
CHB said...: That would be the most blood that has rushed to my head in a long time....lol...I kid I kid.; 3:14 PM
CHB said...: Seanzie, No but I have seen 7 people try to hold up a 6'6" 340lb dude. The garbage can broke and he took out half of them.; 3:15 PM
michael said...: Natty was the drink of choice for volume for me. I still think it tastes just as good as Bud Light and better than Miller Lite.; 3:15 PM
Seanzie said...: Awesome visual...I'm sure there are many epic YouTube moments such as those.; 3:15 PM
Seanzie said...: Miller Lite is complete rubbish, IMO.; 3:16 PM
IV said...: Steve from Lubbock on the mound. Up to the plate, Peter F. Play ball.; 3:16 PM
Seanzie said...: I'd drink High Life 100 percent of the time over Miller Lite.; 3:16 PM
Harrison said...: but Miller Lite is triple hops. I think that means they add exactly 1 hop, 3 times; 3:16 PM
CHB said...: Bud lite lime isn't bad. It's like Corona though, you can only drink it at the beach or the lake.; 3:19 PM
Seanzie said...: Bud Light Lime gives me the worst heartburn.; 3:21 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I'm not a big fan of BL Lime. However, just plain Bud Light is fine by me.; 3:22 PM
Seanzie said...: My beach beer of choice is Dos Equis Lager.; 3:23 PM
Unknown said...: I believe there was a Lime Corona that I liked, but it has been a while and the fact that they were giving them away free and the girl giving them away was pretty hot may have influenced my opinion.; 3:25 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I just tried Fordham Copperhead Ale this week. It's a take on German Altbier, and very good imo. It's definitely worth a try. It's not high gravity, so you can probably find it in most grocery stores.; 3:26 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Had to sign in to say that the comment map is really cool!
Now back to the converstion.......; 3:26 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Is this a new page?; 3:27 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: What kind of beer does Ali Smalley drink?; 3:29 PM
cincytiger said...: I'm a beer snob also. I still don't like any of it! A nice Pinot Gris or a Riesling, now we're talking. I am learning to drink red wine this year. Still don't like it, but hubby and I are drinking a glass a night for health benefits :) Any suggestions for a good red wine?; 3:30 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: I hope Ali is behaving during the season so she can get all those
3's!!!!

Health Benefits, Health Benefits, we're talking health benefits here!; 3:33 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Cincy, I could give you a ton, but if you're just starting to drink red wine, most of my selections will probably be too dry or too robust. With that said, there are actually some good box wines out there now that are conducive to the glass-a-night regimen. My favorite of those is Bota Shiraz (used to be Delicato).

On the beer front (since it looks like you like kind of sweet wines), try Kasteel Rouge. It's a Belgian ale that tastes like cherries (though not too sweet for you beer snobs).; 3:35 PM
cincytiger said...: Not liking beer will probably get me permanently black balled from ever joining the Ring of Fire :(; 3:36 PM
CHB said...: where does one find the comment map.; 3:36 PM
Unknown said...: cincy, I rarely drink beer these days myself. I am much more likely to drink wine or even a wine cooler.; 3:39 PM
cincytiger said...: Thanks for the suggestions, SC,
We have tried Pinot Noir, some blend (Menage a Trois) and we are opening a Merlot tonight. Or I am, hubby is out of town, so I am drinking alone. I think there is a song about that.; 3:39 PM
CHB said...: Scott, you know how I know your gay?; 3:40 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Cincy, I just thought of something. I just tried a local wine (Ozan Norton) from the Ozan Winery in Calera. It's a pretty good red. It's a little more "grapey" up front than I usually like, but I think it would be a pretty good starter red wine. I don't know the price point, though. Someone gave it to me for Christmas.; 3:41 PM
Unknown said...: I keep a few bottles of wine around, usually about 6. I have had mixed results getting wine from wine woot.

I have also confirmed that getting the $3 bottles of wine from Kroger is a bad idea, unless you are wanting to strip paint off of furniture.; 3:42 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: PF: Saw your fridge contents. I think Anchor Steam (and Porter) is outstanding beer. The rest: highly questionable (no offense).

My side girls like Sweetwater 420 and Rogue Dead Guy Ale, so I try to keep it on hand.; 3:42 PM
CHB said...: Sorry, had to get in a good 40yr Old Virgin quote.; 3:42 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Okay, CH=B, let's hear it (although I've drunk enough cheap beer and liquor to wash the gayness out of anyone).; 3:44 PM
Unknown said...: Okay, where are the Mad Dog 20/20 fans?; 3:44 PM
CHB said...: I don't like wine at all. Even the good stuff has a nasty aftertaste to it. The night I proposed to my wife I bought $150 bottle and we both almost threw up.; 3:45 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Just when I start thinking I'm up on movie and music quotes, I get hung out to dry again.; 3:45 PM
Turfman said...: Hart was a highly ranked 4 star. Stevens will be in for the spring last I heard. It was not just attrition, but also the high rate of non-qualifiers. I was never a big fan of taking to many risk, because statistics say you get 50% back on sign and place, and we have not been getting that much. Lots of suspensions, transfers, and doghouse rule breakers. Khalil Frazier will be our #1 target and he should start out a 4* and one of the best duel-threat QB's for 2011.; 3:47 PM
Unknown said...: Wine is an adventure. I am more of a fan of red wines, but only certain ones. You really have to make the shift from quantity to quality to appreciate wine. There is a reason it isn't served in 12 oz glasses.; 3:48 PM
CHB said...: SteveFL, I dated (well I wouldn't go quite that far) a girl when I was Auburn whose dad owned one of the wine vineyards that supplied Mad Dog 20/20.; 3:48 PM
CHB said...: Turfman, you are so last year.; 3:50 PM
cincytiger said...: SC,
I think that is the winery some of my friends have mentioned visiting. I have found one thing is going from white to red wine. Cheap white wine still tastes ok, cheap red wine tastes like paint thinner. This could become an expensive health habit.; 3:50 PM
michael said...: So what do you guys think of the BC coaching situation?; 3:50 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: CH=B, did her dad have some mad dogs that watered the vineyard for him? That's one of the few things that could explain the taste of that stuff.; 3:50 PM
Harrison said...: Cincy- my wife's veins if half filled with blood and half filled with menage a trois wine. Oh yeh, and hald filled with dislike of everything i like; 3:50 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: CHB: Expensive does not necessarily make it good. Also, approximately 10% of all red wine is "corked" - meaning contaminated with TCA - and tastes like vinegar. You may have gotten a bad bottle.; 3:51 PM
Unknown said...: When I was young I had many a hangover over Mad Dog 20/20. It was like hitting your head with a hammer the next day.

As for price, I don't think a high price necessarily means it will be a wine you will like. I do believe that a very low price will just about guarantee you won't like it. I typically spend around $30-$40 a bottle and have mixed results. I by no means buy wine often. At one point I use to have a glass fairly regularly before bed.; 3:52 PM
CHB said...: Cincy, just let some apple juice sit in your fridge for a long time. I almost got FAUWG drunk one day. We had some apple juice that got pushed back in the fridge and one day I gave it to her. There was something wrong with the nipple on the bottle and my wife was trying to get it to come out. When it did you would have thought that there was some vodka in there with the face she made.; 3:53 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: The commish is right. I've found some really good, inexpensive red wines.; 3:53 PM
Unknown said...: And contrary to the opinion of some, older doesn't necessarily mean better in terms of wine. If wine is not stored properly, older can turn into a very bad thing.; 3:53 PM
cincytiger said...: Harrison,
Your wife must have pretty big veins...; 3:54 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Wonder what the topic is going to be on the next page?; 3:55 PM
cincytiger said...: CH=B,
That'll make your baby sleep!; 3:55 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Let's find out!; 3:55 PM
CHB said...: Where were you guys when I was buying the wine for my proposal?; 3:55 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Bam?; 3:55 PM
cincytiger said...: I don't know SC, let's see...; 3:55 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: D'oh!; 3:55 PM
