Hey everyone. I was reading through my hero John Clay's excellent blog this morning when I stumbled upon this video of Ashley Judd, UK graduate, talking about her team.I'm struck by a few things.
a.) You know what No. 1 is. She's talented.
b.) She knows basketball.
c.) She (allegedly) reads message boards.
d.) Every school needs someone like this.
If you're as enthusiastic about Ms. Judd as I am, please watch this video and enjoy: Video: Ashley Judd talks about her Cats
(We're going to the 5 p.m. mass today, hence a rare Sunday morning post.)
JayGT crushing on Ashley.
ReplyDeleteDouble jeopardy was on tv yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying I wouldn't stalk her if push came to shove.
ReplyDeleteBut it won't so I won't.
Great movie.
ReplyDeleted.) Every school needs someone like this.
ReplyDeleteWho is Auburn's?
Ravens vs Patriots, who you got?
ReplyDeleteTHT, AU has Barkley!
ReplyDeleteI don't like Brady, so I have to pull for the Ravens.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone watch Barkley on SNL last night? It seemed to me the monologue and every skit were about racism. I finally turned it off. I found it incredibly unfunny.
ReplyDeleteI taped it Cincy, but I haven't watched it yet.
ReplyDeleteWhen we want to watch SNL skits, we put in the DVDs of the first season. Now those were some funny skits!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather watch Ashley Judd than Chuck Barkley, no offense.
ReplyDeletePlus, Ashley Judd doesn't rip the UK administration after being misinformed that Jeff Lebo was Auburn's first choice in the 2004 coaching search.
Ravens already up 14-0.
ReplyDeleteLove the old SNL skits.
ReplyDeleteLove me some Ashley Judd.
ReplyDeleteI posted this in the last thread.
Pictures of Walmart...

I would rather watched Ashley Judd than Charles Barkley. He's a joke.
ReplyDeletewerk, those pics were hilarious.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteIt's rare that something can mae me want to barf my ice cream. You almost succeeded with thatt comment.
Cincy - I did not watch. I think I turned to some old movie.
So I had a friend of mine, a fellow writer, tell me last night: "Saban just made Chizik's job a lot tougher."
ReplyDeleteAnd, you know, I don't agree with that. At all.
I think I'll write a column about that for Monday's newspaper.
JGT,
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you saw my comments on the last thread, but I did enjoy your column today on AU recruiting.
hi JGT. I thought for sure you'd be attending Mass in Lubbock this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI watched SNL last night... Barkley was good, funny. I thought the skits did lean heavily towards the racism issue... but I thought it came off more like Barkley was making fun of himself pushing the racism issue more than anything
ReplyDeleteWith that said, I'd rather watch Ashley Judd any day... I have always been a fan of her talent.
Thanks for reading, Cincy!
ReplyDeleteD.Miller,
ReplyDeleteMaybe. I guess I was just sensitive to it because he has been on the talk shows around bham spewing his Turner Gill nonsense.
Yep, I enjoyed your article too JGT. Adams is a big boy, but AU couldn't wait on him to get his grades in order. If he was having difficulty in JC, how would he do at Auburn?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThanks also to you, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteLoved the Ashley video. She seems to really know what is going on during the game, not just sitting ther being a pretty face which she is.
ReplyDeleteVery talented young lady too.
Gotta give congrats to wake for winning the Bowl Pick'em.
ReplyDeleteI came in second.
I must sharpen my skills in time for the NCAA Tournament Pickem.
Do you all think Alabama's title affects Auburn at all?
ReplyDeleteAm I crazy?
Baltimore scores again, 21-0
ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeleteNo.
To both questions.
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't watch the final episode of "Auburn Everyday" you should. 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
ReplyDeleteIf anything JGT, it makes the coaches and players more determined!
ReplyDeleteAt the end Chizik says that some guys on the team didn't even know the fight song. He is making it a point to turn these young men into real Auburn men not just football players. I like this man more and more everytime I hear him speak.
ReplyDeleteThe walmartians winning the MNC doesn't hurt us at all. If anything it will make us stronger. Think about it, a top 5 recruiting class when your biggest rival is doing what they are. These coaches aren't afraid of anything, and I don't think anything is going to stop them from doing great things.
ReplyDeleteRavens up 24-0. Brady seems to be throwing this one away, literally!
ReplyDeleteConan had a comment about the championship game on friday:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/video/cl%20ips/alabama-
celebrates-010810/1191564/
No to the first one.
ReplyDeleteJury still out on the second one.
The only affect I could see is everyone coaches and players will work harder and want to reach the same goal as Bama or any other team "BCS champions".
THanks CH=B. I forgot to go watch the last one.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching that "Every Day ..." episode.
ReplyDeleteLove it when Ben Tate scored against Ole Miss. He dropped the ball on the ground afterward. Then Darvin Adams picked up the ball and gave it to the ref with a quickness.
I have no idea why Darvin is so meticulous about this. I've asked him about it ... and he just laughs.
G-He is meticulous because I think Chizik demands it. Are you liking the episode so far? Just wait till the end. You will some things that make you say wow how could that be. And then you will see what kind of Auburn Man Chizik really is. If he does as I think he will then he will be at Auburn for a long time.
ReplyDeleteJay-I wouldn't see how any sane person could think UA winning the championship made Chizik's job harder. They should take off the crimson colored glasses and think for themselves.
ReplyDeleteReasonable folks can admit that UA had a very good team. Congrats to them, but to think AU has it any tougher is foolish. DO they think UAis just going to give playing because UA won?
Kathy-It's worth the 30 minutes to watch it. I hope they do this again next year. Maybe on another network since I don't get CSS on DirectTv.
ReplyDeleteZiemba returning for his senior year.
ReplyDeleteCH=B,
ReplyDeleteAll year they played it on ABC 33 at 10:30 am on Saturdays. For some reason they didn't show this last episode.
I loved it. I do hope they do this again next season.
Stupid of Baltimore to not challenge that last play.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear about Zeimba he seemed to cut down on the false starts at the end of the season and didn't get beat too many times.
ReplyDeleteI think the Ziemba stuff was bogus anyway. No way he was valued all that highly by NFL scouts.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it made Chizik's job harder..
ReplyDeleteBut I'd be curious as to how it would make it easier.
Auburn already had the "early playing time" thing going for them.
Like Saban said, If I were an elite prospect and somebody told me that I'd never get on the field at XYZ University...that would tick me off...and cause me to want to prove them wrong.
walmartian alert!!!!
ReplyDeleteAuburn won't have the "come here and play ... guaranteed" offer going much longer.
ReplyDeleteIf they get 23-25 in school prior to two-a-days, things will be changing. There won't be any free rides.
Where did everyone go?
ReplyDeleteWatching the Ravens?
ReplyDeleteTalk to you guys later. Wish me luck I am going to the place where walmartians spawn.
ReplyDeleteCan you pick up some denture adhesive for me?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
FSJ,
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny.
I think not challenging that turnover on the punt is really costing Baltimore. It seemed to totally change the dynamic of the game. And I think it would definitely have been overturned. He didn't have the ball after he hit the ground.
ReplyDeleteFSJ,
ReplyDeleteHow is Abbie? Does this cold weather cause her more difficulty?
Heck yeah bama winning the BCS title made Chizik's job tougher. When he goes recruiting around the state and has to pass by a walmart, his commute time is now an extra 15 minutes longer.
ReplyDeletecincy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking. Abbie is doing fine. She had a sinus surgery a month or so ago. One of the side effects of CF is that often times kids develop polyps in their sinuses. In fact that's what caused her ENT to refer her to be tested for CF.
The cold weather does present some challenges because you have to be on guard for colds and things like that. She's such a tough little girl and takes all of her medicines & therapies like a big girl.
Hey Jay, thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot for a little girl (and her parents) to handle. We still pray for her to stay healthy and that they will find a cure SOON.
ReplyDeleteTruly my pleasure, John.
ReplyDeleteThank you cincy..
ReplyDeleteI appreciate it.
Ashley Judd = The Best Kind of Substance
ReplyDeleteWhether UAT wins or loses, it has no bearing on my expectations for Auburn. It also has no bearing on the difficulty of task for Auburn.
Anyone who believes otherwise has been sucked into a Turd-centric universe and is need of rescue.
Amen Brother Jet.
ReplyDeleteOGOchoCinco
ReplyDeleteAre there any local flag football games going on I got to stay active playing something
Jay..
ReplyDeleteYou got me hooked on OchoCinco..
He's a trip.
And I have got to get out of here and go walk for an hour. Got to bundle up also. Later Jay and HOTTIES>
ReplyDeleteI love Ochocinco.
ReplyDeleteJay, I know there are some indoor soccer teams in Montgomery. My son comes over and plays once or twice a week.
OchoCinco is my new-media hero.
ReplyDeleteHe does an awesome job of connecting with the peeps. It's obvious ... he's a good dude.
HABOTN is educational. I now know who Ashley Judd is. I feel blessed.
ReplyDeleteThe only indoor soccer I see is the team I help coach with the REAL coach, Anderson Brooms.
ReplyDeleteOur team this season is sick.
We have two awesome girls up front, Korean twins in midfield, lots of grinder-type boys and two good goalies.
I'm feeling a championship.
Steve, get real.
ReplyDeleteIf you're serious, you need to move to the mainland from Belize. Now.
Ochocinco is someone who I only recently learned about. Before that, I thought Ochocinco was a game you play in Las Vegas.
ReplyDeleteJay, luckily enough I have established my own small country here in Columbia. Sure it is small, a two bedroom apartment, but it does keep me isolated from the world. I like to refer to it as the Hermitage.
ReplyDeleteJay, are you interested in playing? If so, I can have Tylerson email you the info. This is my baby, not sure when he got so grown!
ReplyDeleteAnd there does seem to be a noticeable difference between Ashley and Wynonna.
ReplyDeleteTubs presser on ESPN News
ReplyDeleteAuburn women playing LSU on Fox Sports South
ReplyDeleteAuburn women at LSU: This will not end well for Nell.
ReplyDeleteThat's channel 420 on your Dish Network receiver.
ReplyDeleteAnd channel 646 on Direct TV.
ReplyDeleteKeKe Carrier is turning into a nice player.
And channel 848 on Comcast north of ATL.
ReplyDeleteCincy - you can flip without me. Though, as I told CHB last night, if a flip is imminent and I'm online then I'm vying for it. If for no other reason than to deny FSJ the honor.
who's up for...
ReplyDeleteBEASLEY!!!
ReplyDeleteNot bad for a first half.
ReplyDeleteFSJ - thanks for the heads up on the presser, but I guess I'm a little too late. Plus ESPN News is only on the basement TV and that presser just ain't gonna get me down there.
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteI missed it, too. I'm sure we will get the highlights.
Can we officially declare the Patriots "yesterday's news?"
ReplyDeleteSorry guys.
ReplyDeleteThey cut away pretty quick..
All I got out of it was that he'd try to make chicken salad out of chicken ........
And that they'd keep the same offense but combine it with and SEC defense.
I miss Bum Phillips.
ReplyDeleteBum was a trip.
ReplyDeleteGreat Bum quote ... when asked why he took his wife on all road trips.
ReplyDelete"She's too ugly to kiss goodbye."
Ziemba's scouting file did have one positive note ...
ReplyDelete"Extremely effective on first and 15."
Alli Smalley is not helping defensively right now. At all.
ReplyDeleteTuberville keeping the Texas Tech offense is interesting. I don't think he would have got the job unless he agreed to that, but will CTT be able to stick with that wide open style? Inquiring minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteAuburn doesn't have that go-to player like Dewanna anymore.
ReplyDeleteKeKe is helpful, sure, but she's not consistent enough to be a go-to.
Is Alli sick? or just not interested in defense?
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with him making chicken salad out of chicken.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it does not involve BBQ'ing the chicken.
Defense is not Alli's bag, so to speak.
ReplyDeleteEdgar Allen Poes beating Patriots? Won't the madness ever end?
ReplyDeleteAero ...
ReplyDeleteNevermind.
Darvin Adams is at the top of my favorite player list on offense. I have several on defense (AC, McFadden, Bynes, Stevens, Bates! How could you not be excited about this team and coaching staff after watching Auburn Everyday? I hope they continue that format next year.
ReplyDeleteEverybody picked the Packers.
ReplyDeleteLSU 59, Auburn 56 with :14 remaining.
ReplyDeleteSmalley hit a 3 with :03 remaining. Tie game.
ReplyDeleteOvertime in Baton Rouge.
ReplyDeleteNot bad against the #11 team in the country. I didn't realize how young we were.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good game.
ReplyDeleteMake some free throws.
ReplyDeleteShoot some foul shots to win?
ReplyDeleteAuburn up 2 with :11.5 remaining.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle!!
ReplyDeleteAuburn wins.
ReplyDeleteWOW.
They win!!
ReplyDeleteWell done to Auburn's young ladies.
ReplyDeleteLSU missed the easy layup to tie ...AU wins.
ReplyDeleteThat is huge for this team.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the lady tigers.
ReplyDeleteNell looks a lot better with long hair.
ReplyDeleteJets, Cardinals, Ravens? What has become of NFL football!!!

ReplyDeleteSaban seemed to be sending a pointed message to Smart on Friday when he said at a news conference that assistant coaches should not make lateral career moves.
“I’m not pleased when guys make lateral moves because it’s a little bit human nature to think, like my dad used to say, the grass is always greener on top of the septic tank,” Saban said. “You always think it’s better someplace else. You kind of let your ego get involved, and you make moves that you shouldn’t make and really aren’t in your best interests for a career standpoint.”
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?
ReplyDeleteCoach Saban...just...stop talking.
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.
ReplyDeleteOut 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.
