ReplyDeleteRadio time is righteous.
ReplyDeleteJust when you think I'm out...I'm pulled back in!
ReplyDeleteDadgummit.
ReplyDeleteHATE!
ReplyDeleteStupicide is one of my favorite words, along with Nostradumbass.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible that UT didn't want Cutcliffe. I thought it would seem too much like going back to the Fulmer days, although the Fulmer days will a little team discipline might not be a bad thing.
deja vu
ReplyDeleteSo, will we be able to call in and ask Jay mind numbing questions?
ReplyDeleteJay, what do you think of the men's basketball teams chances for making a run at the SEC title?
http://www.yele.org/
ReplyDeleteThanks for that link Faker on Alzheimer's.
ReplyDeleteMy dad suffered 14 years with it, the last 8 in a nursing home.
It is always in the back of my mind. This would be a great advancement.
Hope you enjoy Kippy!!! Hehehe
ReplyDeleteehyou...to answer your question from the previous thread..
ReplyDeleteRoy is very involved in recruiting at a bunch of schools.
He brags about kids being at his house for parties often.
Jay G. guarantees that UT has talked with Tuberville's people!!! Film at 11:00.
ReplyDeleteJay says "I don't see a win on the schedule". Jay predicts Lebo is gone. Jay bringing the heat early.
ReplyDeleteJGT with the impressions. He's a cool dude.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it is great, but I can't listen at work :-(
ReplyDeleteThere is at least one Bama board out there floating Malzahn's name for Skip Holtz's old job. Anyone else heard it, or is this just the standard Walmartian knee-jerk whenever a mid-major HC slot comes open?
ReplyDeleteweagle...that's wishful Bammer thinking.
ReplyDeleteI don't see Malzahn leaving. In fact, Jet says last night that he has it on good authority that he'll be with AU for three years. Now, that post of his certainly sounds (reads) right familiar with me. Reckon where I might have come across that previously and who posted it? Actually, I know, it's a rhetorical type thing.
ReplyDeleteSFL: You're funny.
ReplyDeleteChances of Lebo making the CBI (let alone the NCAAs) = my chances of landing a date with Jenna Fischer.
I'm not sure Malzahn WANTS to be a head coach, especially following a successful HC at a mid major...that's a tough act to follow.
ReplyDeleteI'm sort of out of the loop... is there any prospect of UT getting a HC before the season starts?
ReplyDeleteweagle...
ReplyDeleteI've seen that...have no idea if it is true or not..
The one that posted it is a former UA player from the Bryant/Perkins era.
You know for all the Walmartian drivel around our offense being all high school and gimmicky, they sure want it gone.
ReplyDeleteI am not really concerned about Gus leaving this year. If we have a great 2010 season, I will be concerned.
ReplyDeleteHe should have been fired at least two years ago. There is no reason for Auburn to be this poor on a consistent basis.
ReplyDeleteAll you have to do is look around in your own neighborhood. LSU gets in the tournament. So does MSU. Ole Miss is getting better, has a good coach. UGA made that run through the SECs a few years back. Vanderbilt is better than Auburn every year. Tennessee. Kentucky. Florida. Even South Carolina went out and bought a decent young coach.
It's bad business.
I predict AU playing in SECCG in '11. After that, maybe Malzahn considers leaving.
ReplyDeletePlus, we look like crap with bad talent. You've seen some untalented teams play well with solid fundamentals and good X's and O's.
ReplyDeleteThis just in, Jay lands a date with Jenna Fischer, or maybe not.
ReplyDeleteJay who on that staff, including Lebo, knows how to coach?
ReplyDeletewe need a bball coach with the charisma of Jim Jones. Just spare us the Kool-Aid.
ReplyDeleteI read on a UT board that Muschamp and Malzahn were going to UT. So....yeah, it's all true.
ReplyDeleteSounds like we got the worst program in the league....ouch.
ReplyDeleteNational Barack Channel. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteehyou - I'm not aware that UT-Austin is scheduled to play the Vols in Knoxville. And AU won't be back there for a number of years.
ReplyDeleteJay G, spendthrift.
ReplyDeleteI actually think we have a better chance of the SECCG in 2010 than in 2011. We do better in even number of years when most of our games are at home and we graduate 4 offensive linemen after 2010, although the coaches are doing pretty good getting a set of guys to step in for 2011.
ReplyDeleteI must now be (more) rectangular. Y'all have fun. Someone step up to the plate and make me proud... especially if Eddie and/or Scottie aren't around.
ReplyDeleteChizik. Chiz-ik. Two syllables, no 'n' and no 't'.
ReplyDeleteJGT dropping the Walter Gilbert reference in HATE. nice work fellow AU football historian!
ReplyDeleteSeanzie @ 9:19 -
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly.
Jay G. feels validated.
ReplyDelete"What part of Jeff Lebo looks good to you? What part?"
Seems like Jay isn't pulling his Lebo punches.
I can go out there and draw fouls and shoot 80 percent. Therefore I am more valuable than Speed Reed.
ReplyDelete"These guys need to go work at NBC." Awesome.
ReplyDelete"These guys need to work at NBC".
ReplyDeleteMan, Jay G., excellent ripping.
The only thing that Lebo does well are his "I can't believe that call/horrible play" antics.
ReplyDeleteIn an ironic twist, Auburn considered Scott Etheridge, he of NBC Universal fame, for the AD job.
ReplyDeleteHe also has a knack for making his head shiny. That's all I got.
ReplyDeleteI need more Jay G. radio. That was excellent. Sugar coating? Jay G. don't do no stinking sugar coating!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's just no reason for Auburn to be this bad.
ReplyDeleteHow is it a team can score 37 in the first half and not even sniff 20 in the second? That blows my mind. Your best defensive look against UT is the 2-3. You go back to Man and they make you look silly. You have a PG who has no idea how to run an offense and you continue to let him play.
ReplyDeleteScott Etheridge ... the kicker that Pat Dye once described as looking "effeminate?"
ReplyDeleteAlright, serious question...can Auburn hire Tubby away from Minnesota? If not him...that guy from Oral Roberts? Anyone else have any ideas?
ReplyDeleteShaka can!
ReplyDeleteThey are talking about how screwed Lance Thompson is now. That is a very good point. He left Bama right before an NC and now could end up unemployeed.
ReplyDeleteGood for Lance.
ReplyDeleteSmart move....Very smart.
If Lance is as good as he thinks he is, he should have no issues getting a new gig.
ReplyDeleteSeanzie, I don't know how often you check the email address you have on your profile, but I sent you a email a few days ago...
ReplyDeletePossible 2 year probation and TV ban for USC, as reported on 930. That is tough.
ReplyDeleteWhy I don't use unnamed sources, Part 322: Oops.
ReplyDeleteUSC is dirty...dirty....dirty..
ReplyDeleteAnd they hired a dirtbag..An entertaining one..but a dirtbag nonetheless.
Checking it Luv, will get back to you.
ReplyDeleteSHAKA CAN!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't considered the fact that Tennessee will have to pay these assistants for the next couple of years whether they are canned or not. Kiffikin really screwed them pretty thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteI like FSJ's suggestion of Mike Anderson. Seanzie's suggestions are good too.
ReplyDeleteWhat about someone in DII? It worked for UT.
Luv, I'm all for Mike Anderson, but considering how shabbily we treated him last time and how much it would cost, I'm not sure it's doable.
ReplyDeleteMalzahn interviewed for that ECU job 3 days ago, just incase skip holtz left. Between that and Angelina striking Brad i don't know what i'll do with myself. That being said CGM is not in line for a HC gig this year. It's flattering and everything that bama wants but he'll be here 2 more years. After this past year they know when they line up against him he will be prepared to win, all we need is some solid d.
ReplyDeleteIt may not be.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I am very interested in seeing the new arena. Maybe it will be a new beginning for AU basketball.
I wish Alabama had done the same thing instead of pouring $30 million into Coleman.
Now that we have added every possible seat to Bryant Denny maybe they will reconsider and build a new one. I have a feeling that a new practice facility for the basketball program is next.
Quite frankly, I won't shed too many tears if Gus leaves. I like the scheme but the play-calling leaves a lot to be desired.
ReplyDeleteSeanzie..
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%. His scheme is tough to defend.
However once he got off his script his playcalling became curious.
I don't know if it was talent or what...
Seanzie ...
ReplyDeleteGo check the bath water you just threw out. There may be a baby in there.
UT folks think Lovie Smith is next..
ReplyDeletethat's the buzz in my building FSJ.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really mean it, Gus can stay.
ReplyDeleteI do feel bad for that baby though.
Anderson scoop:
ReplyDeleteSigned a $1.3 million per year contract through 2016 back in April, after turning down $2.1 million per year to coach at Georgia.
Understand I missed a good-un on the haten radio show. Grrrr got to get up earlier if I am going to follow docs orders of walking.
ReplyDeleteI am for hiriing Anderson but sounds like that won't happen.
Sorry it would look bad and hurt Auburn's reputation and all that but I would already have a Budget moving Van in Lebo's drive way.
OK, so Mike Anderson is out. What about a DII coach? I really don't follow basketball, but are there any good coaches at that level? They can't be much worse than Lebo. Pearl was a DII coach when UT hired him. Look where he's taken that program.
ReplyDeleteHe's taken it to the Boats N Hoes level fo shizzle.
ReplyDeleteBut really, really good ball coach. I mean he's playing with 5 scholarship guys and walk-ons and he still blew us out of the gym.
Luv ...
ReplyDeleteA correction ... Pearl had been a DII coach previously at Southern Indiana and won a national title. But previous to coming to UT he was coach at Wisconsin-Milwaukee and made it to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16, having beaten UAT along the way. He had also been an assistant at Iowa and Rutgers, I believe.
Pearl did not go directly from a D-II school to UT. He was at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which is D-I.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction, Jet. But, I'm sure you get my point. Why not give a relatively unknown a chance? Like I said, can't be much worse than Lebo, if you do your homework.
ReplyDeleteJet, btw, I love how you got that "beaten UAT along the way" in there!
ReplyDeleteJet beat me to the punch.
ReplyDeleteBtw, while watching the men's game last night, I couldn't help but think of some coaches I had growing up. Did anybody else ever have one in youth basketball or soccer that you could usually convince to stop running drills and just scrimmage instead? I'm thinking that's what happens at AU practice every day.
I must admit, I don't watch a whole lot of basketball until tourney time. You guys are always talking about the men going for the three so often. I watched the game last night and even I was getting mad at all the 3-pt attempts. What is their ratio of 3-pt shots attempted to shots made?
ReplyDeleteLast night it was awful...I think they made 1 or 2 the entire second half.
ReplyDeletetimely lunch break
ReplyDeletefor..
ReplyDeleteHave the reasons for Cutcliffe stiff arming the Vols already been hashed? I'm assuming it involved bringing his Duke staff. I didn't know until this morning that Ron Middleton was part of it.
ReplyDeleteWe shoot 3s because we have no player over 6-foot-6 that can tie his own shoes or feed himself.
ReplyDeleteIf Lebo would have just kept paying Marco Killingsworth like someone else did, then none of this would have happened.
Excuse me, I meant "playing."
Not really. OK, maybe. Or maybe not.
LOL, Jet. It's crazy how something can be so funny and sad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHere's the problem in Knoxville.
ReplyDeleteHerb Schnidely, aide to the assistant to the assistant athletic director for financial affairs, raised his hand in a meeting and said, "Excuse me, aren't all these assistant coaches Lane didn't take with him on 3-year contracts, including Kippy, who just started here a month ago?"
Then everyone realizes it would take another $5 million -- give or take $2 million -- to get rid of those guys.
Now, staff composition is an issue.
It's all coming out now in Knoxville.
ReplyDeleteApparently Janzen Jackson was involved in the attempted robbery after all...
Bet they lay the cover up at Kiffin's feet...
Uh oh
UT's best bet is to hire Kippy and ride it out. No coach worth the money is coming into a situation with half a staff in place.
ReplyDeletethat is a very $$$$$$$$$$$$$ problem
ReplyDeleteSo where is Jackson in that video? I didn't see him walk up and tell anyone they had to get going or whatever his story was?
ReplyDeleteLove Kiffins remarks in his presser. We only had one arrest
ReplyDeleteuh
two ...uh ... maybe three
We improved on the Ucheat record of arrest by having just a few.
Any one in Auburn right now. If so can you give us an eyewitness report on any moving activity at the Lebo's residence.
ReplyDeleteANY help here would be good
Looks like it was a busy night otherwise for the police in Knoxville. Only six squad cars showed up.
ReplyDeleteI believe Janzen goes to the backseat of the white car next to them..
ReplyDeleteI don't know how much I trust that source anyway after what Jay G posted.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at the awful condition Kiffen has left UTk. In comparison to Tubs leaving, it makes the whining we heard from some AU fans for the past year seem like ....umm ..whining.
ReplyDeleteMs. Hoopie has roped me into a trip to Gatlinburg this weekend. This means we're gonna be real close to Knoxvegas. I'm not a fan of G-burg, so maybe we can do a Rocky top damage tour.
If you find yourself in the Mountain Mall, tell the guys at Gatlinburlier that Smoke-Dog said wassup.
ReplyDeleteUT needs to follow some of the wisest words ever to come out of an Auburn coaches mouth.
ReplyDelete"Live to punt"!
Time to pay off the rest of the staff and start from scratch. This is one of the dangers of firing and hiring. You have to be willing to accept the consequences.
And I am simply amazed by how badly Kiffikin has disrespected Tennesse. Who would imagine a coach willing to leave UT to go to a school headed for probation? This is simply incredible.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I read Luv's comment about giving a relatively unknown a shot at the Head Coaching job....Does Lebo ring a bell :)? He was definitely an unknown unless you lived in the Noog or followed SoCon Basketball.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't follow SoCon basketball?
ReplyDeleteGo Mocs!
I'm surprised that Mike Hamilton has not had a freaking heart attack by now! I bet he has eaten a boat load of tums.
ReplyDeleteIs he earning his $$$$ or is his job in a downward spiral too????
I can't belief USF gets a coach when UT needs one so badly. Skip Holtz wouldn't have been a bad choice for UT.
ReplyDeleteHamilton is simply taking his medicine. Ultimately, the Kiffin Mess is Hamilton's fault. He can either clean it up or get flushed by somebody else.
ReplyDeleteThe Sports Animal and Jimmy Hyams is reporting that Derek Dooley will be named UT's head coach. They are negotiating the contract.
ReplyDeleteThis is from the live radio show in Knoxville
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sportsanimal99.com/Article.asp?id=579129
In his 4 years prior to coming to Auburn, he was averaging almost 22 wins per season.
ReplyDeleteThe point? Someone would have given him a chance in the SEC or ACC.
Once Chainsaw Ed messed up with Mike Anderson, we were the ones that took the chance on Lebo. It didn't work.
But someone would have taken the chance. I still believe there are places where he can be successful because of the types of scholar-athletes he can recruit to those schools. At Auburn, he's a no-go.
Or a gotta-go.
wes,
ReplyDeleteThat may indeed be correct but they've reported so many people are taking the job I think I'll have to see it to believe it.. :-)
... or follow ACC basketball. I thought everyone knew who Lebo was.
ReplyDeleteHey Faker,
ReplyDeleteWho do you think is at the top of the UT faithful shitosky list now:
1. Bammers
2. Lane "The Kid" Kiffin
????????
It may be bogus, but I have a lot of respect for Hyams reporting, so I tend to believe it. We'll see...
ReplyDeleteI'm with FSJ on this....this is like the 100th coach to be announced in final negotiations. I'm just upset that my resume didn't get there sooner.
ReplyDeletemissinit....
ReplyDeleteI think it is like this..
1) Lane Kiffin
2) Crazy Ed O
3) Bammers
4) Gators
Missinits:
ReplyDeleteUT's Hated List:
1. Lane Kiffin
2. Ed Orgeron
3. USCw
4. Mike Hamilton
5. Mattresses
FSJ,
ReplyDeleteThat probably is pretty accurate bout now!!!
I bet there is some kinda hate going up up there!!!!
One more thing for the UT hate list missinit..
ReplyDelete5) Toothpaste
Y'all do realize that if Dooley gets the UT job that we are gonna have to hear Barbara Dooley on Finebaum more often...
ReplyDeletegag.
"We don't need no stinkin' resumes."
ReplyDelete--TN athletic department
Mike Hamilton may end up being the one most hated.
ReplyDeleteDerek Dooley is actually a pretty decent choice considering the circumstances.
How can NBC say Conan was run for "bad ratings" when Jay Leno's ratings were just as bad?
ReplyDeleteJay G., I actually like Connan much more than Leno. I also thought he was beating Letterman in the ratings. NBC has just screwed themselves. There are other things that could have done. Insisting on putting Leno back in the late night lineup is a bad idea. Did you hear about Leno threatening to go to Fox? They have just created a huge mess.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Dooley is more impressive than some that have been mentioned. Maybe he will take his daddy with him--oh, maybe that's already been done.
ReplyDeleteI have always liked Vince and the son seems to be much like him.
I agree with Jay G about the ratings.
ReplyDeleteSteve...I'm pretty sure that after the first week that Letterman took the top spot
NBC is coming out looking like a Tennessee athletic director in this. They should have had a plan if Leno failed in prime time. Apparently they didn't.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm sure most have seen this already, but I thought I would get the word out in case:
ReplyDeleteIf you text the word 'Haiti' to 90999, you can donate $10 to the Red Cross for relief efforts in Haiti. The money will just be added on to your cell phone bill.
Steve the thing about it is that they EXPECTED him to not do well in the ratings. They are making money because they didn't have to spend a bunch for a drama or something like that. The problem was that the affiliates that depend on that lead in to their 10/11PM news started griping loudly.
ReplyDeleteAccording to ESPN, at least I think that was where I heard them say that the UT job was one of the top coaching jobs in America.
ReplyDeleteWhy then do you think it is a job it seems nobody wants??
What do we not know? I honestly have not taken the time to read why those that have turned it down did so. What have been their reasons?
Conan has lost 50% of Leno's audience and is getting beat by Letterman... so apples to apples, it looks like Leno is a much better ratings draw than Conan. But Leno is getting killed at his time slot, which has led to a loss of 25% of the local news affiliates audience, which has also led to some of Conan's losses.
ReplyDeleteBasically, Leno has to be moved and dramas/reality shows put back into prime time. Now you have Leno and O'Brien sitting around. NBC brass picked Leno because he was doing great when he went off the air and Conan is still unproven.
Leno threatening to leave NBC is just PR because he looks like the bad guy right now. No way Leno ever seriously considered going anywhere else.
Conan is a million times better than Leno, but obviously someone out there is a Leno fan. Basically, NBC management sucks. Dumb to promise Conan a show 5 years in advance when Leno showed no signs of slowing down, dumb to put Leno in prime time, and dumb to put Leno back on the Tonight show for what is a short term solution. Dumb dumb dumb.
Cutcliffe couldn't bring his entire staff form Duke.
ReplyDeleteMuschamp clearly has been given a firm date on when he can expect to be the head coach there ... and he's fine with that. Texas is a better job.
Calhoun? Maybe he doesn't want the pressure. If you're thinking about going there and you see fans acting the way they did last week, why would anyone go there? Seriously.
Earlier this week, I mean.
ReplyDeleteTech's Dooley close to becoming new Tennessee coach
ReplyDeletehttp://www.shreveporttimes.com/article/20100115/SPORTS/100115015/Tech-s-Dooley-close-to-becoming-new-Tennessee-coach
Kimmel rips Leno on Leno's show...
ReplyDeleteKimmel...not much of a Leno fan
Thanks Jay G.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like about you.
Concise and to the point.
Rumor has it in TN that Muschamp would have been the coach but Hamilton wanted a clause in the contract that he could not leave for UGA or Texas.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy this coach in waiting thing with Muschamp. I think Muschamp is waiting on UGA to can Richt.
I just want everyone to leave Auburn and their class alone. With all the upheaval in the SEC you could make the argument Auburn is the 2nd or 3rd most stable program behind Bama and Florida (?) right now.
I think Letterman ripping on Leno is kind of funny. I mean, he has gone at him hard. It's like all these years of anger boiling over since it is now pc to bash Jay. He has been waiting for this day.
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand why Jay is being painted as the bad guy. Conan used his leverage to force him out of the Tonight Show. Leno didn't want to leave. So now I am supposed to feel sorry for poor millionaire Conan because mean millionaire Leno is taking his place?
The bad guys are the execs. But it is obvious the other late nighters hate Leno. This is probably a combination of jealousy from being beaten by him in the ratings (and fear he will beat them again) and anger because from an intelligent comedic viewer's perspective, Jay Leno is stale and unfunny.
[in hangdog tone] Hey Derek, it's Mike Hamilton. Are you interested in our HC position?
ReplyDelete[visibly perks up] You are? Really? No kidding? Man, that's great.
Sorry, Eddie, I didn't know that about Lebo, but like I said, I don't really follow basketball. Obviously, they didn't do their homework.
ReplyDeleteYou can have Letterman, Leno, Connan, Kimmel...just give me Craig Ferguson.
ReplyDeleteLuv- I was just playing. At this point, I think Trunk Monkey could coach better than Lebo.
ReplyDeleteTrunk Monkey
I like them all except for Leno.
ReplyDelete1. Letterman
1a. Conan (these two have switched back and forth over the years
3. Craig Ferguson
4. Jimmy Kimmel (though I don't know I have ever watched a show of his through. Just highlights online from time to time)
.

.
.

1004. Jay Leno
There's only one 'n' on Conan. FYI.
ReplyDeleteKathy ESPN is also report that Derek Dooley will be the next Tenn HC
ReplyDeletemichael...who's 857?
ReplyDeleteJust wondering.
Instant Classic from the Mobile Press Register!
ReplyDeletehttp://blog.al.com/jdcrowe/2010/01/the_walmart_trophy.html
Eddie, thanks for the Kimmel clip. That was great.
ReplyDeleteSchlabach confirms. It's gotta be true.
ReplyDeleteSo we have one of Saban's buddies on Rocky Top. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteDooley....I bet they put a no-out clause to UGA in it, of course, Muschamp is the one heading there if Texas doesn't come thru first.
ReplyDelete"I've been waiting for you, Coach Saban. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. W hen I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the master."
ReplyDeleteSo, Derek Dooley story is being backtracked, if so.....BWAH HA HA HA HA
ReplyDeleteI have read where the Tennessee head coaching position is one of the ten most coveted jobs in college football. I guess they have the cash, but I can't believe they would be in the top 10.
ReplyDeleteE-Bro - 857 would be Dr. Lou Holtz
ReplyDeleteSteve- IF they were in the Top 10, they would have a coach by now. Mike Hamilton needs to be fired ASAP if I was a UT fan. His "search" process is a joke and let's face it, he hired Kiffin. That kills any and all good will of the Pearl hire.
ReplyDeleteThe Tennessean seems to think Derek Dooley is their Huckleberry.
ReplyDeleteI agree Eddie, and Tennessee doesn't exactly have the best recruiting base. They have to recruit nationally. They don't have enough local talent with the competition.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the deal with everyone wanting to coach UGA. Aren't UGA & UT the same job?
ReplyDeleteDid someone suggest looking at Div-II for a bball coach? There's 300-something Div I programs, for pete's sake. Why stop at Div-II, why not go throu Div-III or NAIA? Heck, there's a good high school coach somewhere (just don't recruit his players for two years, that's now a no-no).
ReplyDeleteehyou- UGA is a much better job. If a Nick Saban type coach came there, watch out. It has great talent in the state and could be a force similar to LSU IMO. Richt is good, but far from great.
ReplyDeleteDooley maybe the Head guy, but its still mixed from what I read on whether that was fact or not.
That earlier video about locking monkeys in trunks reminded me of this old sketch by "The State"
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dumpalink.com/videos/MTVs-The-State-Monkey-Torture-ecd7.html
UGA= better fans, local recruiting base, and not-trashy stadium. Besides that (of which local-recruiting base is the only valid point), they're the same, yes.
ReplyDeleteDamon Evans is the guy. Dooley just hangs around and eats tacos, now. The first couple of years after he retired, that was not the case, but it is now.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the culture shock of going from having genuinely good, disciplined kids at Air Force to having people like Bryce Brown and Nu'Keese Richardson (RIP)? Even if you've been in an environment like that before, it's gotta suck to come back to that. I wouldn't want to take the job either is I was Calhoun.
ReplyDeletewas that lt. dangle?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it is Dangle.
ReplyDeleteQuite a few Reno 911 main peops and guests were on The State. As were the three guys in Stella.
The media is retarded.
ReplyDeletePeople tell me I look like Showalter. I don't see it besides the fact that we're both tall, goofy, retarded, and dark haired.
ReplyDeletePF, what I was implying when I said that was, why do they always think they have to go after a big name coach...sheesh you guys are tough.
ReplyDeleteSo, am I correct in saying Michael > SteveFL as a live blogger?
ReplyDeleteWas that you? I was scanning through yesterday and today's comments so fast that I didn't know who said it. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI was just kidding around, by the way...
PF - It is a badge of pride to look like showalter. Handsome and hilarious. Well, hilarious at least.
ReplyDeletePeterF: There's just something about you these days that's just not as ... alluring.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you one dadgum thing...
ReplyDeleteYou don't backtalk Derek Dooley...
Dooley
That was a love tap, FSJ.
ReplyDeleteIts a gamble for UT hiring Dooley. But if they got it right, they could have him for decades to come.
ReplyDeleteI personally believe he will turn out to be a good hire. A young up and comer. Can't argue his lineage.
Eddie: Thanks for sending the Trunkmonkey clip. That's awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI think Dooley was a pretty good hire. Skip Holtz would have likely been a better choice, but Tennessee ended up pretty well off, if they got Dooley.
ReplyDeleteAlluring? Interesting choice of language there, Comm'r.
ReplyDeleteUT Rivals site (Volquest) is reporting that as of 1:30pm all signs are that Dooley is the man, but that he has not officially been extended an offer. This is just sloppy work by UT. When it gets to this point, you better have everything lined up. If Dooley backs out or is not the man, that is not good. The UT fans on that site are in melt down mode.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I think Dooley will make a fine coach. I think he will do well. Honestly the best of what they have looked at since Boom.
Ironically, I would take Dooley or Holtz over Kiffikin any day.
ReplyDeleteNo problem Comm'r, that's one of my favorite youtube clips.
ReplyDeleteAlluring = the 3 Auburn hotties (a/k/a your harem).
ReplyDeleteIs Derek Dooley a done deal? I don't believe anything involving "sources" and the Tennessee coaching job, anymore...or any coaching job for that matter (unless it come from wtc's mom).
ReplyDeleteI have a Harem? Sweet. Point me in their direction, por favor. I've got work to do.
ReplyDeletePF- Nope, at least what i'm seeing. Close, but not official.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call Dooley a done deal, although that Tennessean article made it seem that way. So far there have been 3 or 4 done deals. Until the university makes an announcement, nothing is certain.
ReplyDeleteSomebody page Norm.
ReplyDeleteNorm doesn't give a flip anymore.
ReplyDeleteWe have a new student that started her clinicals here this week. She's a "huge" UAT fan. She's NEVER been to a game. She said she was born on Bear Bryant's b-day so it's destiny that she be a UAT fan.
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, another 10 posts about the going to another page.
ReplyDelete(Counting)
ReplyDeleteOne...
I had a birthday 5 days after Bear Bryant died.
ReplyDeleteI'll take it!!!
ReplyDeleteActually, Comm'r, I find PF more "alluring" these days. I think either the guy that used to post as PF wasn't really him or marriage definitely has been good for him.
