Hey everyone. Hope your Sunday is going well.
I will be LIVE BLOGGING the women's game (Auburn vs. MSU) beginning around 2 p.m. This will be a Cover It Live-type situation.
Most of you are not into women's hoops and that's fine, too.
I'll be available to talk about a somewhat wide variety of topics, though I will be watching the women's game. Come soak it all in. This is a dress rehearsal for A New Era In HABOTN Game Coverage.
Love,
jgt

Great JGT, I'll be here!
ReplyDeleteNice, Women's BB substance.
ReplyDeleteI will peek every few minutes
ReplyDeleteSomebody needs to step it up and bump Harrison from the quote at the top of the HABOTN.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video on the previous post - it is great! Glad you are getting warm :) I'm home from church, have my snowman pjs on and ready to snooze on the couch!
I won't be here, I'm being dragged to the mall after an exhaustive trip around central FL and the entirety of the state of Georgia.
ReplyDeleteBut I will read through it after I get back. That's my fav thing about CIT.
Where did Scottie B and Kristina go? They've been MIA.
ReplyDeleteScottie had been sick, but I've seen him on here.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, anyone who watched the Texas Tech game last night get tired of the announcers campaigning for Ruffin McNeil to get the HC job based off of one game?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI was RK...
ReplyDeleteThat's how WVU ended up with Stewart.
It's crazy to give someone a job based on one game.
If TTech doesn't hire Ruffin they'll have to face the black coach thing, only not just for not choosing one, but passing over one. He seems like a smart man who handles pressure well. Plus, he's cheap and, according to Leach, that's important to them. I think they'll hire him.
ReplyDeleteLiveblogging Jay's liveblog:
ReplyDeleteJay just said that he has a 10 dollar late fee at blockbuster, and he isn't paying.
Jay G just said Nell Fortner and Aubie arm wrassled during a timeout. The match was interrupted when Cliff Ellis ran in and hit Aubie in the back of the head with a folding chair. Aubie wins by disqualification, but Nell maintains the belt.
ReplyDeleteJay G just said that although Michelangelo painted the Sisteen Chapel, he is more familiar with the current Sisteen Chapel "custodian".
ReplyDeleteyou talking about the Sistine Chapel or the Sixteen Chapel?
ReplyDeleteTHT, please. I am liveblogging.
ReplyDeleteAnd phonetically correct is correct enough when you are liveblogging. There is a lot of pressure, man.
Jay G just said that Chizik, despite what some other websites have reported, has never done a press conference naked.
ReplyDeletemichael...your 2:52 post sounds vaguely familiar, like something I saw on Raw or Nitro back in the day.
ReplyDeleteOh my God!! It's Sting!! We gotta go!!
clutch work under pressure, MJT. Especially with all those sheep under foot.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of women's hoops.
ReplyDeleteBaylor 99 Texas State 18
UConn 91 Seton Hall 25
I'm always amazed at some of the scores you see in their games.

ReplyDeleteJay G just said that research being done at Auburn's biology is showing that Splenda does not taste nearly as much like real sugar as Splenda lovers suggest, and it also might cause AIDS.
ReplyDeleteRe: Splenda
ReplyDeleteAIDS = Accelerated Intestinal drive-by syndrome
It wouldn't shock me if Tuberville ended up at Texas Tech. It seems to have his type of atmosphere, similar to Ole Miss.
ReplyDeleteMSU won, 73-58.
ReplyDeleteThanks to those of you who participated.
By the way, I read where Wes Byrum broke the record for points scored in a season. He had 99. I found that very impressive considering the low number of attempts he had this season.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the live blog JayG.
ReplyDeleteI'm not reading anything from the past week. I'm too tired.
ReplyDeletePF!! Congrats on the wedding. How'd everything go?
ReplyDeleteWhen are we going to meet Mrs. Frankenschmidt?
Everything was great.
ReplyDeleteWe had 128 readers and 326 comments today.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Sorry I wasn't here to support you Jay, but I had an awesome nap!
ReplyDeleteAre the Auburn women just not going to be that good this year? I guess I was expecting good things after last year.
Congrats PF!!!
ReplyDeletePF,
ReplyDeleteWere you able to watch the game? I know that might not have been the preferred activity for your missus on her first married day.
The ladies hung with them pretty well until the middle of the second half. I was reading and article and came back and suddenly they were beaten down pretty bad.
ReplyDeleteShould have used that modified wedding ceremony that said "Do you take this man and Auburn football to be your....".
ReplyDeleteThere was a big screen at the brunch. I listened to the the second half in the car. I made her high five me every time we won.
ReplyDeleteI think the words "I am my beloved's, and my beloved and his love of Auburn football are mine" were uttered. I can't verify it, though, because I don't remember anything from the ceremony but trying to not get Tebomotional.
Okay,off I go. I'll check back in Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI have dwelled on it, thought about it, debated it with myself, and come to a conclusion. Yesterday was the all time "most clutch" performance I have ever seen from an Auburn team, at least in the last 30 years. More clutch than Bo over the top. More clutch than Jason driving us down the field to beat LSU. EVERY Auburn team I can think of would have succumb to the odds, and dude would have run it in on the fake field goal. But not these boys. They just absolutely WOULD NOT QUIT.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about what this D can do next year. Once we get loaded up with some fresh legs, we are going to be pretty tough; because we already have some boys out there who are "MANS".
Yes, more clutch than that one too.
ReplyDeletePhred, I do think the D will be tough next season. In thinking about it, I think you are right. What they did was much more impressive, even than the drive against LSU. Frankly, I don't know how we stopped them. How could Northwestern have worn our defense down more? I have a lot of respect for all of those players. They are definitely men.
ReplyDeleteClassic win.
ReplyDeletedigger - yes they were Big 12 refs
ReplyDeleteSteveFC - I think NW coach made a tactical error when he took the usual route of defense first in OT. Our defense had been on the field the last few minutes of the game and would have had to be right back out there for OT. But following standard strategy, NW gave our defense a breather.
we watched the game earlier this afternoon and I was AH MAZED at the effort of Craig Stevens on that sack non-fumble that won the game the first time in OT. It was superhuman.
ReplyDeleteTHT,
ReplyDeleteHow you doing after the car crash? Do you have coverage for foot races on your auto insurance?
THT, you are probably right. I have also been thinking about the decision to fake the punt. I think it was a good one only because the NW kicker got injured. If he isn't injured, why not just keep pushing it to additional OT's. Byrum probably deserves some credit here, because the NW coach had to be thinking there is no way he is going to get in a kicking dual with Byrum against whoever their backup was.
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for the injured kicker, if I were the Northwestern coach I would have happily pushed for additional overtimes. I don't know how long our defense could have held. Apparently Washington had to be carried from the field at the end of the game, I am assuming because of cramps.
By the way, I really admired the Northwestern team and the way they played. They had nothing in terms of a running game and still gave us all we could handle. That team was very well coached.
ReplyDeleteMissed the ballgame. Since I have to go back to work tomorrow, I had to get the Christmas tree down. The holiday is officially over. I had the football game on and kept hearing Will Herring's name mentioned as well as Sen Marks getting his first NFL sack.

ReplyDeleteIV - pain, lots of pain. The price of stupidity.
ReplyDeletejacuzzi time
ReplyDeletePhred,
ReplyDeleteThat was impressive because it's easy to get down on yourself once you think you've won only to have the rug pulled out from under you...much less to have it done several times in the span of minutes.
Good to see 51-year-old Tony Richardson still playing in the league.
ReplyDeleteThoughts ...by tommyd
ReplyDeleteIt's MUCH easier not to get violent and lose control at an Auburn game when you're actually at the game surrounded by other Auburn fans you can vent with.
It was a GREAT pleasure to finally meet our fearless leader and a good many of the hotties that were able to make it to Tampa and survive another WV like weather game. Y'all are awesome.
IV it was an honor sir. AU365 it was a great time!
Our team is going to be just fine. I'm convinced now more than ever that Gene Chizik knows exactly how to handle the reins of a major conference football team, and will be able to get these kids in position to succeed, if they're willing to do what it takes.
I've always like Tony Richardson. He is a good Auburn man.
ReplyDeleteMrTommy-Well said. I could not have said it better. I hope FSJ's team takes us lightly next year. They wil be good again, but I think Au willbe much better next year.
ReplyDeleteThis -------------->
ReplyDeletewas obviously taken before the Pens lost and before I used myself as a battering ram.
From the Austin newspaper ...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.statesman.com/news/texas/as-far-as-rednecks-go-alabama-may-have-159671.html
THT you broke it. I have NO avatars even after clicking yes as I always do.
ReplyDeleteFUnny stuff there Jet.
ReplyDeleteKeep Austin Weird...and evidently redneck free.
ReplyDeletewhat exactly did I break, digger?
ReplyDeleteTHT not sure but right after you posted with arrows pointing to your avatar and I refreshed the thread all avatars have disappeared on my page. They were there now they are all gone,
ReplyDeleteok, I've changed my avatar back. Did that help?
ReplyDeleteWatching Bull Durham, my all time favorite baseball movie.
ReplyDeleteWatching football. My all-time favorite sport.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed strange. Each time I refreshed in the past a block came up asking some question and I would always press yes and the avatars would appear. Now if I press yes they stay gone and if I press No they come back.
ReplyDeleteWatched Field of Dreams on Christmas a week ago. Always hard not to cry at the end, especially if watching with my Dad.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not even a big baseball fan.
Football season is done.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, Major League is my favorite baseball movie of all time.
ReplyDeleteThat or The Sandlot. It's probably a tie.
It must be opposite day, digger.
ReplyDeleteMe and my ice pack are going to bed. And no, I'm not referring to the lovely wife.
that's blasphemy, NoVa!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you really had anything to do with it THT. I upgraded Exploer today and now I am having strange things happening in other places also. I was just kidding you about it. Put that picture back up it looks like it was shot by an expert.
ReplyDeleteWhile nowhere near the same level of passion, I am a Charger fan. And I'll watch football if it's on -- just about no matter who's playing.
ReplyDeleteJet...Indiana vs Illinois.
ReplyDeleteWould you watch it?
LOL, digger. That photo was shot by Rainbow City's finest portrait photographer!
ReplyDeleteI watched Colorado State @ Idaho earlier this season. You can't go wrong with college football.
ReplyDeleteWhat?
ReplyDeleteAuburn is done until September, the Skins are done and the only game left is a Bama game.
I'd watch Indiana State vs. Illinois State.
ReplyDeleteI watch hoops a bunch, too.
I'm watchin' Duke-Clemson in b-ball right now.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I always tend to like the announcers better for pro football games. I wonder if it is my imagination, or maybe it is because the college announcers just don't know that much.
ReplyDeleteI'm lookin' forward to TCU-Boise St. tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic THT..
ReplyDeleteI'm sure by Thursday I will be in rare form.
E-Bro - is it March already? I thought we just started January.
ReplyDeleteThanks, FSJ
ReplyDeleteFaker you will be a basket case by Thursday.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't find any greens and blackeyed peas in Tampa. 2.0 searched all over with her cell phone magic.
When do you want to meet at Pruett's?
BEASLEY!!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't exactly call us done until September. I am looking forward to recruiting. Also, I bet we have a starter named at QB in the spring.
ReplyDeleteNever too early for college basketball for this guy.
ReplyDeleteTexas-Bama and TCU-Boise St. take priority for my sports viewing this week, but college basketball games will never be too far from gaze when channel surfing.
NoVa
ReplyDeletetomorrow night TCU vs Boise State
Tues night JGT's Corn People vs Ga Tech
Wed night Troy vs Central Michigan
Thur night Texas vs UA-T
Let's face it, college football is now a year round sport.
ReplyDeleteIt's just not played on the field from January-August.
After my 8:30 post, I have no doubt I will rest better tonight. Good night, Hotties!
ReplyDeleteGood night THT
ReplyDeleteNight THT.
ReplyDeleteHave they come up with an official apology for the Boise State/TCU winner?
ReplyDeleteDear ,
Please excuse us for ignoring you and your fine football program in selecting a national champion. We sincerely apologize and believe that is one of the top institution in the country.
Please accept our sincerest apology,
BCS Championship Committee
digger,
ReplyDeleteI'm actually taking off Thursday and Friday of this week (let's face it I'll be worthless on both days) so if you are available any of those days shoot me an email.
Of course if James Spann is correct, we may be digging out of a significant snow for this part of the country.
Snow in Alabama? Isn't that like trying to find a Catholic in a Southern Baptist Church?
ReplyDeleteGood Lord...James Spann has the high for Saturday at 18...Are you kidding me? A low of 5...
ReplyDeleteExactly Steve...
ReplyDeleteI remember in 1993 we got just enough to be annoying in Tuscaloosa while family members here in Gadsden and up in Leesburg were without power for five days or so.
FSJ, have you been drinking or are you in Minnesota?
ReplyDeleteNo...just looking at ABC 33/40's (out of Bham) website.
ReplyDeleteHow bout this?
ReplyDeleteCincy finished above TCU in the final BCS standings. If Nebraska had beaten Texas, we would be watching a Bama-Cincy matchup on Thursday.
The horror...
FSJ It doesn't matter to me. Since it will be at lunch time could we try to beat the bad weather and do it earlier in the week?
ReplyDeleteOn Thursday, I am seeing a 50% chance of snow in Hartselle and a 40% chance in Birmingham.
ReplyDeleteWise up people. Move to beautiful Columbia, SC. We have predictions of clouds, but that is about it.
ReplyDeleteJust going by what they are saying here...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will change fifty times by Thursday..
Bammerham Station
I will say this for Spann though...He was on Fox 6 at the time....He was the only weather person in Bham predicting a big snow event in 1993 early in the week. The rest didn't get on board until a couple of days later.
Ha, it is halfway through the game and NachoStinko hasn't caught a sing pass. Bless his heart.
ReplyDeletedigger,
ReplyDeleteI'll look at my schedule for the early days and let you know.
Hey FSJ, that forecast appears to be from that SNL guy that played in Caddyshack.
ReplyDeleteFSJ good enough we can talk later
ReplyDeleteLOL..
ReplyDeleteI think he does their weekend stuff.
Jet-you going to to the bball game on Saturday at AU?
ReplyDeleteIf I had to guess, WTC, I would guess not. I'm gonna guess Mama wants me around the house.
ReplyDeleteSupurMario27
ReplyDeleteOk so here is the problem...I hate alabama but at the same time they are a SEC team...we need the wins...lmao..nevamind..LET'S GO TEXAS! WDE
LOL.
ReplyDeleteNot a problem to me.
ReplyDeleteMario knows.
ReplyDeleteI just had a reader say I'm racist for using Beetlejuice as my avatar. I'm still trying to figure that out.
ReplyDeleteRacist? He's my favorite Stern Show personality.
No idea on that one.
Sounds like a case for the ACLU.
ReplyDeleteWhat would they say if you had a picture of Stern as Fartman?
I'm all for living in a PC friendly culture, but damn.
As Beet would say: "Who, me?"
ReplyDeleteMinor adjustment.
ReplyDeleteThe reader that contacted you is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteAVATAR?
ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeleteare you really looking forward to AU basketball season?
Good morning, Hotties.
ReplyDeleteInstead of a long drive to Pittsburgh today, MrsTHT talked some sense in to me, so I'm trying to track down an orthopedist, instead.
Anybody want 3 tickets to see the Penguins & Thrashers tomorrow night? (it's not in Atlanta, btw)
I hope all the Hotties will join me tonight in watching the best team in college football. Go Frogs!!!
ReplyDeleteThey have a very difficult task tonight, taking on a superb 13-0 Boise State team that they beat in a bowl game last year. A la AU vs Wisconsin, we all know how hard it is to beat a team two times in a row in bowl games. Hard for everyone but Texas, that is.
HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!
THT,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you aren't going to the game. I know how much you were looking forward to it. Hope you can get into a doc easily this am. Surely you have some connections?
Off to work after a 10-day vacation, and unfortunately, today and tomorrow will be 12-hr days listening to all the Bammers dribble about their game. I'll try to catch up tonight.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle!
Good morning, Hotties and War Eagle! Did Mother Nature forget that this is Alabama?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't get to meet any of the Hotties last week. With the downpour right after Tiger Walk, I didn't know if there would still be a "meet and greet."
Tar Heel, why do you need to see an orthopedic doctor?
HOOK 'EM HORNS! HOOK 'EM LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HOOKED 'EM BEFORE! HOOK 'EM LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!!
I'm with the Speedwagon, Fannin knows.
ReplyDeleteCincy, I didn't think the Lady Tigers would be SEC champs again this year with the great players that graduated, but I didn't they lose by 15 points to MSU either.
ReplyDeleteLUV - in an act of spasticity, I busted my shoulder up pretty good.
ReplyDeleteAh! Is that what you meant when you said you used yourself as a battering ram?
ReplyDeletePMarsh has a good article with his comments on officiating at the Outback Bowl. I had no idea the roughing the FG kicker penalty should have been a no call.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll watch the game again today.
Good article, Tar Heel.
ReplyDeleteI think the incidental facemask penalty needs to be reinstated.
It is beyond my feeble mind how for so many games this season Auburn racked up the penalty yards, while the opposing team had very few. Is Auburn really that undisciplined?
Also, when we watched the game again yesterday, on the game-tieing (sp??) TD, a Northwestern receiver clearly false started and it wasn't called. We rewound it twice just to be sure.
Morning Hotties - when does the cold weather go away?
ReplyDeleteNot soon enough, Norm.
ReplyDeleteLUV - what section were you sitting in? we paraded HABOTN.COM around during halftime.
ReplyDeleteTar Heel, we were in section 245, but at halftime we moved to the section behind the band.
ReplyDeletemorning hotties. glad to be back in front of a computer. not so glad to be back at work. :)
ReplyDelete"Kathy said...
ReplyDeleteWhere did Scottie B and Kristina go? They've been MIA."
thanks for the love Kathy. my internet went kaput at home last week so i had to read the habotn from facebook on my phone. i just couldn't post. my computer & comcast aren't getting along and they both think the other one is the problem. very frustrating. :( i am back to full strength i think from my sickness. thanks to all who showed love there too.
Scottie B - are those not some awesome caps in my avatar!
ReplyDeleteLUV - I think we made it as far as Section 240.
Work Sucks, but glad to be back on Habotn!
ReplyDeleteyall look pretty good THT. not sure if you got my text message during the game or not, but your placards were fantastic! i worked on a painting up until christmas eve for my mother-in-law then got sick. your idea was MUCH better than the banner i was thinking about. superb work my auburn friend!!!!! i wish i could've been there with you guys.
ReplyDeleteyep, I got it. And thanks for that great Christmas text/card!
ReplyDeletespeaking of text msg, just turned my phone on and got the latest Pens update...another loss! I think that's 5 in a row.
Interesting observations from PMarsh. I found it hard to believe that as maligned as their O-Line was pregame that they kept our D-Line at bay and there were few, if any, holding calls.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the replay official made it apparent early he was not the overturning type. For better or worse.
Mornin' HOTTIES,
ReplyDeleteStill recovering from the Tampa trip, however, I have got to get my lazy butt up and walk today cold or not. I am so excited about the future of Auburn football. I believe that I witnessed the beginning of something great at the Outback Bowl. It also was the most memorable football trips I have ever made. Good times with my sons.
THT,
ReplyDeleteGet to the doctor with that shoulder and next time THINK.
So I guess we won in spite of the officials efforts, or lack of effort to call a fair game. I wonder why they would do that?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm really beginning to doubt Malzahn's ability to call a game. He has some moments where the flow is good and the right play for the situation is called and then we go into a 5 drive funk where fart around doing stupid stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a game Sat. You guys that were able to go are very fortunate.
ReplyDeletenorm...you feel about the cold as I do the heat. I'm loving this weather.
Did I put the HABOTN into a state of shock by calling out The Genius?
ReplyDeleteI mean Friday, my internal calendar is all screwy.
ReplyDeleteMorning Hotties....
ReplyDeleteIt was a cold, cold drive to Bammerham this morning.
The good news is that it is a short (hopefully championship) week for me!
Have a great day!
Sir Sean ...
ReplyDeleteI didn't care for the 2nd Kodi pass play, nor putting him in the 'Cat at the goal line on 2nd down before the Byrum FG. Other than that, we did roll up 400 plus yards and we didn't have the ball that much. We're still short on playmakers on offense. We didn't get people open other than Darvin. That's got to change.
As for the pass rush, most of the game, we rushed 4, so they had 5 blocking 4. Our problem all season was LBs in coverage. When you're playing D. Hood and T. Bell (who will be a good player one day) plus the suspects at LB, you'll get picked apart.
Go back at watch it, most of the picks came when we sent 5 or more to pass rush.
Jet, agree with you on Hood and LB's in coverage. I thought the LBs did ok and thought T. Bell might have earned himself the NB role next year.
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of Kodi as an offensive weapon needs to be reevaluated.
Is there anywhere I can find the game online?
I wish kids were back in school today so I can hoop.
ReplyDeleteI agree with PMarshall after watching the replay last night. It is hard to imagine that one team has that many penalties and the other team has so few. I thought the face mask was a bad call at the game, it was almost right in front of us and it looked like a bad call in real time. I really don't know what the coaches or players can do about the calls when in so many cases they shouldn't even be a call.
ReplyDeleteIt irritated me on the last kickoff that Washington was clearly no longer moving forward and allowed him to be stood up and hacked for a good 3-4 seconds before falling down.
ReplyDeleteJet-I agree with your conclusions. I think Jay's posting the other day about Gus having to adjust his offense due to the lack of defense was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteMy problem though is the same as Sean though. How does Au get up by 14 early the past 3 games and let the other team tie it up. It seems to me, we run a lot of motion early, score on the confusion of the defense, then it is like someone says 'Well that's all we got' and we go in a shell. AU stops running the motion stuff and the opponents defense stars to play normal schemes to stop anything we do. If it weren't for Adams, this offense would have died several deaths this year. AU had alot of big plays to him that bailed them out of trouble throughout the year.
Anyone remember the number of penalties UK had in the game at JH? I think they had 0.
ReplyDeleteDid AU have more penalties in the game than any opponent we played?
Too many penalties. I understand it is year one and we have some talent deficiencies but sometimes the playcalling is way too cute and why the heck do we not run more in short yardage situations on 3rd down?!
ReplyDeleteJay, do you think that effect on your avatar will make you less racist now?
ReplyDeletemytommy it was a delight to meet you last Friday. With the seating arrangement we didn't get much time to talk maybe next time the opportunity will give us more time.
ReplyDeleteDigger, it was great meeting you, sir. And yes perhaps at the next grand HABOTN function, we'll get a chance to meet a good bit more.
ReplyDeleteThanks again THT for getting all that organized.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteI've been saying the same thing. I like the offense, but sometimes the play calling drives me crazy. Mainly with the use of the KodiCat, it seems to kill momentum and nothing creative seems to come out of it. (However, any time Kodi puts the ball in the air we are tempting fate.)
We are creative early in the game with a lot of motion, then after the scripted part of the game is over we tend to go into a shell.
Overall we put up good offensive numbers, but I think the play calling could be better as well.
11 straight days off from work, it was no fun coming in today.
ReplyDeleteWhat was interesting at the bowl game, whenever they did the Wildcat with Kodi, you could hear the "uh-oh" and the prediction of the inside run. I do believe if we simple fans can figure that, the opposition probably has too. I really wish he would have gotten his passing skills honed to a greater degree.
ReplyDeleteIf CM is the starting QB 9let's not get into a starting QB discussion though) I think the wildcat goes away. He is big and fast enough to run the ball or throw it to keep the defense guessing which he will do. IMO.
ReplyDeleteThe Wildcat is a great tool to use when you actually have the right people running it. Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, Felix Jones and RunDMC. Kodi Burns does not have the ability to do what those guys do.
ReplyDeleteup from my nap...
ReplyDeleteSean - we proved early on that we are almost incapable of gaining a yard on the ground in those short yardage situations. That has been, by far, the most disappointing aspect of our offense in each of the past 2 years.
BTW - where were you at the game?
mytommyd, IV, digger, AUFan - y'all made the Outback Bowl an absolutely FANTASTIC memory for the THT crew. Thanks!!!!!!!!
2.0 (proving she is 2.0) is making me go to the ortho clinic today. I set up an appt with a shoulder specialist for Friday, but she thinks I need to be seen sooner than that. I think she's right. Y'all have a great afternoon!
HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!
If it were my decision, next season the only time Kodi would touch the football is as a receiver. The wildcat with him at QB in the middle of the field makes me crazy. Kodi has my respect but he is not a strong runner and a total fail as a passer. Put him in the slot and use that 4.5 speed in a match up with linebacker, but that's it. IMO
ReplyDeleteTHT, I was there, we came up, me and another guy, but the women got lost and of course when they came up and saw the rain, I was forced to move up into the empty seats. So we ended up a few rows back.
ReplyDeleteI actually thought the two balls Kodi threw Friday were the best two he's thrown this year. Didn't like the play call afer the first pick, but two things stand out:
ReplyDeleteBoth defenders made incredible plays to make the pick.
He didn't get much help from the receiver on either throw.
Rich Brooks changes certainty from 80 percent he's gone to 100 percent he's gone.
ReplyDeleteThat may be Jet, but I recall watching, on the first one, the Safety was sitting on it. The second pick was a great play by the DB.
ReplyDeleteIs the SEC ready for the Joker?
ReplyDeleteHe's a Joker, he's a smoker, he's a midnight toker ...
ReplyDeleteRich Brooks had a good run at UK. I wonder if the Joker can build upon the foundation.
ReplyDeleteRich Brooks was a heckuva coach.
ReplyDeleteProbably the second best coach in UK football history. I'm not a Kentucky football historian but I think he'd have to be up there based on their history.
I'm heading to lunch, y'all better flip this thing before I get back.
ReplyDeleteY'all be on ya baddest behavior.
ReplyDeleteSomebody page Norm.
ReplyDeleteFaker, I'll be he's lurking nearby.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting to me that we are already talking about 2010. That tells me everyone is excited from what happened with this team and are looking forward to much progress this spring and fall. I think that is a good assessment.
ReplyDeleteRich Brooks is the best coach Ky has ever had. The second best moved on to Texas A&M and then on to other endevors.
ReplyDeleteJ/K Faker
i was at UK when Brooks was hired. people were furious. he easily succeeded more than anyone ever thought he would. hats off to him.
ReplyDeleteI think that the biggest improvement will be in the LB and DB positions. That will help to open up the defense more, giving Roof better choices on sets to call. I also think as the depth on D improves, it will help Gus get more of his O in the game. I can't wait. I wished we were teeing it up this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone been able to find the 2010 schedule on line anywhere? I've tried and have come up blank.
ReplyDeleteToday is my first chance at HABOTN posting since leaving for Tampa. I'm sure every possible comment has already been made about the game. However, I was wondering if anyone besides me waited to cheer on the 3rd time we won the game until the refs ran off the field and into the tunnel.
ReplyDeleteBtw, nice to meet the Hotties in Section 232. It was a brief meeting, as I arrived just as the placard parade was starting, but still nice to shake the hands of some fellow Hotties and to put faces with names.
Okay, I am doing my part to get to a page flip. Help me.
ReplyDeleteIV,
ReplyDeleteI think I saw it the other day.
I think y'all have like eight home games again..
Looks to be a good schedule to make a run at the west, IMO.
I think the winner of the Iron Bowl wins the west next year.
Here you go, IV:

Scot Choc, it was fantastic to get to see you again after 20 or so years. You are looking good, haven't changed much at all. I am sorry that I didn't get a chance to see Bro and Dad.
