IV said...: Same players.; 7:57 PM
cincytiger said...: Thank you, Eddie. New page, new topic.; 7:57 PM
cincytiger said...: What do y'all want to talk about?; 7:57 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Eagles....E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!; 7:58 PM
cincytiger said...: We could talk about how the Bengals made it to the playoffs and still haven't won a playoff game in a gazillion years.; 7:58 PM
Unknown said...: Is there any news on the recruiting front? I am most concerned with offensive linemen. Eric Mack is someone we could really use for 2011.; 7:58 PM
Anonymous said...: When typing comments does anyone else get totally unassociated pop-ups while typing? Something to do with confirm leaving the page ... once I cancel it is good to go for the rest of the comment; 7:58 PM
cincytiger said...: Who will win the Super Bowl? Predictions?; 7:59 PM
Jet said...: Daddy always comes home when the kids are having fun.; 7:59 PM
Unknown said...: AUFan, I only get that if I type a comment and have not submitted it and attempt to leave the page.; 7:59 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'd like to nominate Meo Stansbury.

Mouthy and dark-haired. Perfect.; 8:00 PM
WarEagleRK said...: The last playoff game the Bengals won was the one where Bo Jackson got injured.; 8:00 PM
cincytiger said...: Yeah, Jet, and he usually comes just before blows get thrown.; 8:00 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm taking Cincinnati in the Super Bowl.

Wait, what?; 8:00 PM
Unknown said...: AUFan, what browser are you using?; 8:00 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Speaking of funny topics...I've seen some hilarious pictures of bama fans at the Wal-Mart with the BCS Championship Trophy. I think Bama probably asked if they could exchange the Crystal ball for high quality plastic one.

Seriously...they took that trophy to the Wal-mart to show it off. God truly has a sense of humor.; 8:00 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I bet the peopleofwalmart.com folks are having a banner day.; 8:01 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: As far as playoffs go...I sickly want to see the Jets play Indy and beat them after Indy benched their starters in not trying for the perfect season and leaving the Jets in it. That would be sweet irony.; 8:02 PM
Unknown said...: I can't help but marvel at the concept of taking the trophy to Walmart either. I wonder what places they turned down prior to choosing Walmart?; 8:02 PM

cincytiger said...: When we lived in Cincinnati, I had dinner with Kevin Walker, the player who hit Bo. He was good friends with our next door neighbor. He hated that he had ended someone's career. Nice guy, although I told him I hadn't forgiven him.; 8:02 PM
Anonymous said...: My daughter (AU grad) is going to Gardendale Wally World to take pictures tomorrow, hope to get some good ones (of fans of course); 8:03 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: peopleofwalmart.com is by far one of the best hidden gems on the net. I've definitely seen some pictures today that could qualify for that site.; 8:03 PM
cincytiger said...: JAY,
That hurt. Just pour salt in my open Bengals loss wound :); 8:04 PM
Unknown said...: That play the ended Bo's career was a fluke. It seemed like a minor thing at the time. What I remember is a player hold onto Bo's leg to bring him down. There wasn't anything dirty or controversial about it. It was just unfortunate.; 8:05 PM
Anonymous said...: Firefox; 8:05 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I love Ochocinco.

I'm sad to see his season come to an end.; 8:05 PM
Jet said...: This is the year the Chargers break through. I hope.; 8:06 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Seeing the Golden Globes commercial reminded me how much I really like Ricky Gervais. He is a funny dude.; 8:06 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I was amazed that Bo was able to come back and play baseball in 93 and 94 before retiring. He was limited but still had his power.; 8:07 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Ochocinco- 2 catches in two games after running his mouth non-stop...priceless. Sorry, I find that funny.; 8:07 PM
Unknown said...: AUFan, I use Firefox 3.5.6 and don't have an issue, altough I run it in Fedora 12, a linux distribution. I haven't heard of such an issue. Are you running MSWindows?; 8:07 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I'm going Colts vs Vikings.

I have no dog in the hunt since the Steelers and Titans didn't make it.; 8:07 PM
cincytiger said...: I do, too. I know a lot of people think he is a showoff, and he is, but it is all in good fun. he is very well liked in Cincy. I love the picture I saw of him at Halloween, he said he was dressing up as Chad Johnson. He has a wicked sense of humor.; 8:07 PM
Anonymous said...: firefox 3.5.7 and win xp pro; 8:08 PM
Unknown said...: Eddie, I was tickled at Ocho's talking and then catching nothing, although I did see where he got injured in warmups before the game. He did make a bad mistake though. Brag about what you have done, not what you will do. He made himself look foolish.; 8:08 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I like Chad OchoJohnson too, but when you talk as much as he did the last two weeks and don't do a thing...time to shut up. I really enjoyed seeing him on Hardknocks, one of my favorite HBO shows of all time.; 8:09 PM
Unknown said...: AUFan, there might be a way to turn off the warning under security settings, but I would be hesitant to change those. You can see them under Edit->Preferences->Security. They should be near the bottom.; 8:14 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Donovan McNabb- 2 yards with 6 minutes to go in the first half. If his numbers don't improve, he will be booed out of Philly after this game.; 8:16 PM
Anonymous said...: Thanks Steve, I will play with it and see what happens ... no real biggy but gets irritating sometimes; 8:16 PM
wtc said...: OK-It took me awhile to catch up on the riveting conversation you guys were having over a former coach. Always good for a laugh.

To better AU's situation in Bball, honestly Lebo should bench several guys and play the younger ones. they will get beat, but they play with effort.; 8:17 PM
Unknown said...: Here is a link to one of the articles I looked at, but I see nothing that describes your problem.; 8:17 PM
BinOBA said...: Anyone been to belize?? Found a great vacation package for there, wondering if anyone here has ever been there. Great trip that is a yacht tour of different islands and your own personal chef, that means i won't have to cook, which rules.; 8:18 PM
Miller said...: Ocho5 has to change his name back to Johnson now...doesn't he? Dude got blanked 2 weeks in a row by Revis.; 8:18 PM
Unknown said...: wtc, do you have any updates from your mom?; 8:18 PM
CHB said...: If you were not here earlier bammers/bammies or what ever you call them are now know as walmartians.; 8:19 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: What about the long term...is Lebo the coach next season??? I think Auburn needs a new coach to open up the new arena. I think Lebo has done absolutely nothing since he has been at Auburn. I would argue he is one of the worst coaches in my lifetime of following Auburn basketball.; 8:19 PM
cincytiger said...: BinOBA,
I am in need of some of your cooking. I am coming to Fairhope the first weekend in February for a weekend with my sisters at the Grand. We may have to make a short drive. You work on the weekends?; 8:20 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: BinOba- never been, but our CPA goes there every year and absolutely loves it and claims its the best vacation anyone could take. They don't have kids, so i'm sure that statement was made sans kids.

D.Miller- Ocho's name needs to be changed to Chad Revisownsme.; 8:21 PM
cincytiger said...: Do y'all realize we have had 50 comments in 24 minutes? Just an observation.; 8:22 PM
wtc said...: F.Sullivna is the best player with the most talent. Plays too fast at times and looks out of control sometimes. I think he could have matched the Downey kid today in scoring.
Lebo should try to run his offense through Sullivan instead of reed and Hargrove.

In Bball you can live with and usually overcome aggressive errors. But Hargrove takes slow clumsy errors to a new level. As a coach, i would have ZERO confidence in him with the game on the line.; 8:22 PM
CHB said...: Steve nothing new lately, but we will finish with these six commits. Mack, Latt, Lemonier, Mack, b. jones and whittaker; 8:22 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Well comments seem to flow with disagreements or big news. Disagreements can be fun, especially when you are fairly certain the other doesn't take it personal, which I think Steve and I have that down pat from past disagreements.; 8:23 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Eagles are going to lose this game. About to be down 24-7. Oh well. I hate the cowgirls.; 8:24 PM
wtc said...: Lebo will be there next year, I think. BBall is all about recruiting and he finally signed a decent class for next year. Bball is much deifferent than Fball. You only 2 players and your team can go very far. if have just one veyr good player and then some good one, you will be OK in the SEC. AU has none of the above.; 8:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Since the Cowboys are on, did anyone see Jay Ratliff becoming the player he is today?; 8:25 PM
IV said...: So what does everybody think about TT hiring Tuberville and the BC coaching situation?; 8:26 PM
wtc said...: Mom says quit worrying about recruiting. it is over for AU. They have who they want. They are just buttoning it up from noww through NSD.; 8:26 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Unless this team turns things around in the conference, I don't see Lebo being there. He's done nothing to keep his job.; 8:26 PM
CHB said...: WTC-great points. Sullivan is the only player we have with what I call a BB IQ. He knows the games and can play it really well, but for some reason we don't use him enough. On another team he would be a stud.; 8:26 PM
cincytiger said...: Anyone know a good source for vintage Auburn prints? I want to frame some for the new condo. I want black & whites of the university, sports or the town. Found a few from Auburn archives. Anywhere else?; 8:27 PM
Miller said...: You just ruined my day, WTC, with that last comment about Lebo.; 8:28 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: WTC- Regardless of a good class signing, I have no confidence he can keep players on the team. The guy loses 2 players a year it seems to things other than graduation. I just get sick trying to watch Auburn basketball now. I felt today was one of our best chances of winning in the SEC. Oh well.

RK- Nope. Credit to Tubs.; 8:28 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: WERK, Ratliff has been a huge surprise to me. If I remember correctly he was a good player at Auburn, but not all world, and now he is one of the best interior lineman in the NFL.; 8:29 PM
Miller said...: Chad OchoCinco's new name... Chad Revis, cause Darrelle Revis is his daddy!; 8:29 PM
FSJ said...: Wow...

Can't believe I missed all of the interesting conversation earlier...; 8:29 PM
wtc said...: I stated before and truly believe AU gets the following:
Lattimore
Whitaker
Lemonier
Mack
Either Thornton or Jones.
That is a wrap. All of these are signing day commits.
FWIW-We were in the hunt with CJ Moseley for awhile, but after not convincing him that AU had a better business school staff knew he was headed elsewhere.; 8:30 PM
Jet said...: Jeff Lebo is a good basketball coach, but he's a horrid fit at Auburn. I've seen too many times where he's out X'd and O'd much better teams to say he's a bad coach.

He's recruited one significant player from in-state. And the chances he's taken on certain players have blown up on him. Everybody likes to talk about FT shooting, but that's all over college basketball.

He was the wrong hire. He'll do OK somewhere else, but not at Auburn. He's on his last legs, and I sense his players know this.

It's time to do something different.

My guess is that his North Carolina pedigree would serve him well at a Furman, a Rice or a Vandy.; 8:30 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Ratliff is the anti-Aundray Bruce.; 8:31 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Cincy- The Auburn University Photographic Services...I may have the name incorrect, but it is the official university photographs department. They have great black and white photos from just about every season. You can find some there that will be awesome that not many others will have. Great place to look. They have both black and white and color.; 8:31 PM
CHB said...: Cincy- you got a new condo in au?; 8:31 PM
BinOBA said...: Cincy i do work weekends but sometime there in feb i am gonna go to nola for a couple nights with my wife for some music and mardi gras. I expect to be there on the weekends, though so stop on in and say hi.; 8:31 PM
Anonymous said...: Did Romo just pat the ref on the butt that last play?; 8:32 PM
BinOBA said...: Great observation, RK.; 8:32 PM
Jet said...: 365 ...

Ed Hoculi has that effect on people.; 8:33 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: So, what I've learned about the NFL this week.....If you talk smack in playoff week, you end up the butt of the joke and on holiday much quicker. I don't think DeSean Jackson is stinging Dallas in the Ass yet.; 8:35 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Busy Saturday night on the HABOTN; 8:35 PM
cincytiger said...: Yeah, CH=B,
Everyone else is tired of hearing about it, but it is great!! :) On Magnolia across the street from Lowder. We were there today. Slowly beginning to look like a home. Furniture is trickling in.

If you know anyone interested, we also have a student condo in Glenn Oaks on West Glenn for sale. Went today and cleaned carpets, did painting touch up, cleaned the oven (yuck from two boys cooking in it), ready to put it on the market. Giving it the rest of Jan before we list with a realtor. Want to buy one to save for your future 4*?; 8:35 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I remember when Bradie James was a beast at LSU.; 8:35 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I remember when Tony Romo was a beast at Eastern Illinois.; 8:36 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I don't remember that.; 8:37 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Me neither. But apparently Bill Parcels thought so.; 8:37 PM
Unknown said...: Jet, are you saying that Lebo just doesn't fit because he can't recruit the talent level we need?

wtc, if we get Eric Mack I will be satisfied with this recruiting class. I would love to see the others, but my biggest concern is the offensive line going into 2011. As for the coming season, I am very excited about our chances.; 8:38 PM
CHB said...: I would love to, but the FAUWG (Future Auburn womens golfer) takes all of my money now.; 8:38 PM
cincytiger said...: Thanks, Eddie, I bought several from them when we were decorating the kids' condo. They have a few online, but not near everything. I will check them out in person the next time I am in Auburn.; 8:38 PM
cincytiger said...: CH=B,
It gets worse...; 8:39 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I need to have a kid, so I can give them a cool HABOTN nickname like el turbo or fauwg.; 8:40 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Cincy- Definitely go by in person. You will find some great hidden gems there. It's like an unknown Auburn treasure chest if you ask me. If you check out the 96-99, you will find the greatest football manager to ever walk the sidelines in a few of those picture :).; 8:40 PM
Unknown said...: I am considering retiring soon so I could be on here shopping for a condo in Auburn. It might be a cool place to retire. Yea, I could be the old dude hanging around campus that everyone talks about.; 8:40 PM
CHB said...: Note to self....always kiss up to Cincy. Especially during football season. You never know.; 8:42 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Steve as long as you aren't talking about Auburn middle or high, then I think you'll be ok.

However don't be surprised if Chris Hansen makes a visit.; 8:42 PM
Unknown said...: Wake, just don't name a kid after a coach. That is one of the weirdest things I have read about.; 8:42 PM
CHB said...: by the way my foot is killing me.; 8:42 PM
Jet said...: Steve,

I'm saying through personality,
philosophy, or whatever he's not recruiting players in-state.

I'm saying when he's taken chances on players it hasn't worked.

I'm saying he's never been an effective marketer of the program.

I'm saying he's a good bench coach, who now has few bullets in the gun and is left to having his team jack up 3s to try to be competitive.

I'm saying he's more suited at a different type of school.; 8:43 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Well...you could name your kid Crimpsun.....LOL.; 8:44 PM
Unknown said...: Living in Auburn and being able to head over to a football, basketball, or baseball game on the spur of the moment would be really cool.; 8:44 PM
cincytiger said...: CH=B,
Our condo is always open to HABOTN friends at home football games. Several of the hotties came by this year. And next year we will have furniture to sit on!!! I can't wait for football! How many days until A Day?; 8:44 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Lebo has lived and died by the 3. It goes all the way back to Chattanooga. The man does not believe in defense. Never has.; 8:45 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I'm naming all my kids Gene... I'll just number them George Foreman style.; 8:45 PM
cincytiger said...: What are the predictions for Auburn baseball? Do you think we have a good team this year? We are going to Auburn the last weekend in Feb for a gymnastics meet, at least 1 baseball game and a basketball game. Fun times.; 8:46 PM
Anonymous said...: 98 Cincy but who's counting; 8:46 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: George had it right. You will never say the wrong name that way. And if you tell one something, you've told them all.; 8:46 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks Jet. I don't follow basketball much and I am under the impression that Lebo had some bad luck when he got to Auburn, but I have to agree that 5 years is enough. And there is a lot to be said for the environment being right for a coach. He might be very successful if he went to a school that where they traditionally got more talent and recruiting wasn't as difficult. I don't consider being the Auburn basketball coach to be an easy job at all.; 8:47 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I still don't see Auburn in the NCAA post season play, but I'll be disappointed if they don't make it to the SEC Tourney.; 8:47 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: My parents will definitely appreciate the numbered kids. Their memories are starting to slip, and my dad has never been good with names.; 8:48 PM
cincytiger said...: Wake,
One time when I was working Labor and Delivery I had a young woman want to name her third son, John Michael. It was her husband's name and her first two sons' names because she couldn't think of any others. Not like she hadn't had 9 months to think about it. I came up with another name for her.; 8:48 PM
CHB said...: It would be great to come by and meet some of you guys. My wife and I just started coming back for games this year with FAUWG. She can't make it through a full game yet but it's fun to come to town. We went to A-day, Furman and AU vs the walmartians.; 8:48 PM
WarEagleRK said...: It's been 5 years (I think) since Auburn's made the SEC baseball tourney...that's just amazing to me.; 8:49 PM
Jet said...: Cowboys vs. Iggles in the last 90 minutes ... 51-7; 8:49 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Ok...anyone else excited for the Olympics? I love the winter Olympics and will be glued to the TV every night.; 8:49 PM
Jet said...: I like the Winter Games more than the Summer Games.; 8:50 PM
CHB said...: I think we should go ahead and stop talking about Lebo. You know since we don't talk about ex-coaches. Would any of you like to make plans to attend the 1st game in the new arena next year?; 8:50 PM
Unknown said...: Auburn baseball has been much more disappointing than basketball. Although I don't really follow either, at least baseball has a tradition of success. Basketball had some good times under Sonny Smith, but I don't remember many other than that.

By the way, I always remember what Sonny said when he left. When Pat Dye came, they bought him a house. When I came, they bought me a trailer and told me to not bother to take the wheels off. Yea, I am paraphrasing, but that was the jist of it.; 8:51 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Eagles are about to find them a new QB, just wait and see.; 8:51 PM
Anonymous said...: Hope everyone got that .... spikefootball.com and only 99.75; 8:51 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: CH- I could be game for that. I'm excited about seeing this new home of Auburn Basketball.; 8:52 PM
Unknown said...: I love the olympics. There are always some great stories that go along with it.; 8:52 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Charles Barkley and SNL...whose watching?; 8:52 PM
cincytiger said...: OK, AUFan, I don't get it. Probably because I am dense, but ?; 8:53 PM
CHB said...: I love any sporting event that allows me to pull for the USA. I like the summer games more, but I too will be clued to the TV for the W. Olympics.; 8:53 PM
IV said...: Me,me,me. I'm watching SNL. (if I can stay awake).; 8:53 PM
FSJ said...: How about them Cowboys?!; 8:54 PM
Jet said...: Eduardo ...

I have the DVR set for SNL.; 8:55 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I'll try to stay awake for SNL, but will at least tape it. Got to see how bad he does. I'm betting my life savings he will screw up one skit and start laughing.; 8:55 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: The opening round of SX starts in 5 minutes, I know you guys are excited.; 8:55 PM
CHB said...: Eddie we will have to remember to talk about it when next year rolls around. I'm afraid we will be so pumped about the football season that we could forget. As far as Barkley and SNL..how could you not wathc a train wreck?; 8:55 PM
cincytiger said...: I'm kinda ticket at Charles these days. I think he needs to stop running his mouth about Turner Gill.; 8:56 PM
cincytiger said...: should be ticked; 8:56 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: CH- Will do. It will be easy to remember because we will be opening with North Carolina if Lebo is the coach...or North Carolina A&T if he is not.; 8:57 PM
Miller said...: I'll do my best to make plans to attend the first game in the new arena.......... as long as Lebo is not our coach.; 8:57 PM
Anonymous said...: Sorry Cincy I was grabbing a snack.

98 days until the A-Day game ... you asked in an earlier comment; 9:00 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Ok...Thanks for chatting everyone. I'm heading to the bed to watch the rest of this game. Take care and God Bless :)!; 9:01 PM
Jet said...: I'll do my best to be in the new arena ... Lebo or not ... I don't think he'll be there, though.

Usually, I follow WTC's lead on such things because his mama is so plugged in, but I think she may be wrong on this one.; 9:02 PM
cincytiger said...: Thanks, AUFan, that just went right over my head :); 9:02 PM
Unknown said...: Man, I can't believe SNL picked Charles Barkley to guest host over Turner Gill. SNL discriminates against college head coaches in favor of former basketball players. How sad.; 9:02 PM
Unknown said...: Apparently there has been a pretty big earthquake off the coast of northern California, a 6.5. That is why I like living in the south. At least when you come home you know your home will be in the same place.; 9:05 PM
wtc said...: I will not be at the next home game. I think UK has their way with AU next weekend. This game will be very ugly.; 9:06 PM
chip chip said...: did steve just say he thinks lebo would be better at a rice, furman or vandy because they recruit a higher level of talent than AU? if he did, i can't say i'll argue with him. AU would be lucky to go 1-2 if they played those three. my heart tells me lebo deserves a year or two in the new arena he was promised by year two or three of his AU run. my gut tells me let's start over with a new coach and new arena all at once.; 9:08 PM
Anonymous said...: After reading back did you mean the spikefootball.com Cincy, It was in reference to an ad for a numbered MNC football for the evil empires deeds ... guess everyone is not watching the same channel ... sorry; 9:08 PM
Unknown said...: Chip chip, that is exactly what I was saying. Some coaches are builders while others are maintainers. Great ones can do both. Somehow I don't see Lebo as a builder. He has had enough time to show progress. Yes, we finished on a bit of an up note last season, but I don't really think we have seen anything to make me think Auburn basketball now is any better than when Lebo arrived.; 9:11 PM
Jet said...: Chip ...

I said Lebo is a better fit at those types of schools.; 9:11 PM
cincytiger said...: AUFan,
My son showed me a youtube video today about bama's mythical national championships. Pretty funny.; 9:12 PM
Norm said...: What's all this talk I hear about sax and violins on tv?; 9:12 PM
CHB said...: A recruit to look out for next year is QB Driskel. He is being compared to Tim Tebow and is a life long Auburn fan. He has been a stud at the UA all american camps and has some impressive offers already.; 9:12 PM
CHB said...: cincy...dind't you me the walmartians mnc's? They are not from here.; 9:14 PM
Anonymous said...: To me their whole season was a joke!; 9:14 PM
CHB said...: me=mean; 9:14 PM
cincytiger said...: Oh yeah, forgot, the walmartians!; 9:15 PM
Unknown said...: Driskel will be very interesting. He will likely be the only QB we will go after in the 2011 recruiting class. He could end up being the guy to take over from Newton. Getting him would make the QB race very exciting.; 9:16 PM
CHB said...: Ok everyone it's a plan..next year we will meet up to see the 1st game at the new arena (anyone know the name?). We will all stay at Cincy's new condo..lol...; 9:16 PM
chip chip said...: i like the fact that tubs is now brown's, stoops' etc. recruiting problem in tx. it may make it harder for AU to pull tx players, but it my drag those two down a notch by taking two or three good players away from them each year.
i guess he's going to inherit the tony franklin system of his dreams. what is the over/under on how many fewer passing yards the ttu qb has in 2010? 1000-1500?

i finally went and saw the blind side tonight and none of those coaches are where they were at the time of oher's recruitment or out of coaching all together. says it all about the business.; 9:17 PM
CHB said...: Steve-I think we will also target the Frazier kid who is pretty good also, but we really really want Driskel; 9:18 PM
Jet said...: Norm ...

Lucky there's a family guy.; 9:18 PM
wtc said...: I'm going to talk with mom. I'll check you guys later.

BTW-she said Tubbs was taaking one asssitant with him that was not coaching right now. I was thinking Ensminger.; 9:19 PM
Unknown said...: Should Rollison earn the starting job, it might change things a lot. I really wish spring practice would get here and we would get an idea of where these QBs stand.; 9:20 PM
CHB said...: Do we have a pharmacist on hand tonight?; 9:20 PM
Jet said...: WTC ...

I gotta know ...

Does Mama think Tuberville is the debil?; 9:21 PM
Unknown said...: wtc, I was thinking Nall, but it could be Ensminger. I would think CTT would look more to taking a defensive coach with him, though. Our offensive staff and the spread seemed to be like oil and water.; 9:21 PM
wtc said...: Spring game is April 17th.; 9:21 PM
Norm said...: Rollison does not get the starting gig for '10. It won't happen.; 9:22 PM
chip chip said...: do you think rice, furman and vandy would recruit better athletes if lebo was coach? i think not...they would be recruiting marginal talent projects if he maintained his track record.

i was hopeful when he was hired but it just hasn't worked out well and dude is as exciting as elwood blues' lunch order. i would like to see someone with a pulse run the team. hell, go buy some players and win some championships like the calipari model.; 9:22 PM
Anonymous said...: yep 98 days; 9:22 PM
Miller said...: Driskel is not the only QB target for next year's class. Malzahn is very high on the Frazier kid from Springdale, Arky...; 9:22 PM
cincytiger said...: Ch=B,
I'm not a pharmacist, but I am a nurse. Can I help?

Oh, and staying at the condo sounds great - I just hope I don't still have 2 of them by then.; 9:22 PM
Unknown said...: Somehow I don't think this spring will be like last season with regard to the QB race. Last season Trotter, Caudle, and Burns seemed tied most of spring practice. My guess is that Malzahn will narrow things quicker this time around.; 9:24 PM
CHB said...: Cincy, as you know I hurt my foot playing with the FAUWG tonight. I found some Naproxen in the cabinet. I can't remember why I have it, but I think it is for inflamation and pain?; 9:25 PM
Unknown said...: Hahaha, "Elwood's Blues lunch order". Classic; 9:25 PM
wtc said...: Jet-She thinks Tubbs was looking to get out and this was the best way. He was tired of the management and felt he could stick it to them by laying down and then talking the cash. But that is just her opinion after talking to several others at AU that handle business with some of the old coaches and the current coaches.; 9:25 PM
Norm said...: I'm not a pharmacist either but one of my employer's divisions is the largest pharmaceutical distributor in the world. I'm in healthcare and can talk to you about servers and storage needs. It's pretty glamorous.; 9:25 PM
Jet said...: Chip ...

What I'm saying is that Jeff Lebo would identify better with the athletes typicaly recruited by those schools, and would be in a better position to coach them in the old school North Carolina style of down screens and back cuts rather than marginal academic kids like he recruits to Auburn that want to one on one and shake and bake.; 9:26 PM
CHB said...: Newton will be the QB and we will all see why on April 17, 2010. I now I'll be there to wittness the brightest future of AU football since I have been around.; 9:26 PM
stupup74 said...: Lebo had a decimated lineup his first two years. 5 guys transfered that first year. 3 ended up being all conference at their new schools. Lebo did pretty well in year 3, above .500 and 7-9 in the SEC with two wins vs. Bama and a SEC tourney win (i think). Remember in year 4 Dollard quit and Barber broke his hand, that gutted the inside, yet Auburn was competitive, not good, but competitive. (That was my favorite team, they played HARD.) Last year was the first time he had a full deck and he won 24 games and would have gone to the NCAA tourney if the UT had beaten MSU, or the media did not have it in for SEC basketball.

This year the team was due for a step back. Auburn is not Kentucky. Auburn has to rebuild, not reload. However Gabriel, Sulivan, Neysmith and Malone were all top 150 players at their positions in HS and all are sophs or freshman. Kemp Jr is top 150 and a true C.

Unless you can get a true upgrade, Lebo deserves a shot to coach in the new arena. His program is clean, and his pipeline is starting to fill up. He needs to keep some in state game changers at home, and maybe shake up the staff a bit, but I think the program is better than it was when he got there.; 9:26 PM
Norm said...: CHB - you're largely correct.; 9:26 PM
CHB said...: And that is a bold statement since I was in school when we got the Caddie/Hummer; 9:27 PM
FSJ said...: I'm personally happy that Tuberville has a new gig.

I can now cheer for him again.

I personally thought he should have replaced Stallings at UA if we weren't going to go the Beamer route.; 9:27 PM

Yes. If it Naproxen Sodium 550 mg, you can take one every 12 hours. I would eat something, it tends to tweak my tummy. I think it is the best anti-inflammatory, pain reliever you can get.; 9:29 PM
cincytiger said...: Good night all. Hubby is drawing me a bath of which I am going to take full advantage of :) Have a great night!

War Eagle!!!; 9:30 PM
Norm said...: Did Cincy just say she's gonna take full advantage of her husband?; 9:31 PM
CHB said...: s74- you make some good points and some that I have made the past 6 years, but the bottom line is that after 6 yrs he should have this team playing better. I have played bb since I was4 yrs old. I know the game and how to play (just wasn't blessed with enough of the physical tools to make it. 5'11" white guy..lol). This team doesn't know how to play basketball. Only Sullivan has a bb IQ. That is all the coaches fault. I understand he hasn't had anything to recruit to, but some of the mistakes and the poor free throws should not be happening. I like Lebo, but I think he needs to go. With the $$$$ we put into the new arena we should be able to get a pretty good coach.; 9:32 PM
FSJ said...: LOL Norm.

I think u are correct.; 9:32 PM

chip chip said...: if newton is not the starting qb for 2010 for any reason other than injury, it is the first major disaster for chizik's regime. that scholly could have been used somewhere else to fill depth. qb is the one position AU had bodies to choose from, but you almost have to bring in a guy widely considered an elite talent. my focus will be on someone really seperating themselves for the #2 spot behind newton.

for crutin' news:
jlee at rivals said if AU picks up the rest of its primary recruiting targets: de lemonier, dt whittaker, dt thornton, rb lattimore, ol mack, and one of a number of others, AU may be pushing for the #1 recruting class for whatever that means. if you generally stay in the top 10-15 ranking every year, you can play with anyone in the country with a realistic chance to win.; 9:33 PM
CHB said...: good night Cincy.; 9:33 PM
Unknown said...: FSJ, strange you mention Beamer, because both he and Tuberville were the hot names back then.

As for Newton, I don't think he is a sure thing and I believe Hoopie has brought up some valid concerns, but I still think Newton is the favorite to be the starter. I don't consider him a lock, but I would give him better than a 50% chance, although there is limited info at this point.; 9:34 PM
Jet said...: Daniel Cobb, Chris Todd and Cameron Newton were all signed for the same reason.

To be the starter.; 9:35 PM
CHB said...: I think Newton is a lock. He has all of the physical tools plus some. You don't waste a spot with our depth issues unless you know he is the starter. Just my opinion.; 9:36 PM
FSJ said...: Yeah Steve....

Beamer wanted the UA job when Dubose took over. Great move on our part.

I was a big Tuberville fan back then.; 9:36 PM
CHB said...: Oh no you didn't Jet!!!; 9:36 PM
Norm said...: I'll add to chip-chip's comment with, unless he's injured or has his mug shot taken, Newton starts the '10 season as AU's #1 QB.; 9:37 PM
Jet said...: I didn't say they were all good ideas. I'm just sayin' what the intentions were/are.; 9:37 PM
Jet said...: Uh, we're about to flip another.; 9:38 PM
Jet said...: Norm, please take over.; 9:39 PM
CHB said...: can i do it??/ please please please; 9:40 PM
CHB said...: crap, I'll never get my first flip; 9:40 PM
Jet said...: Go ahead.; 9:40 PM
CHB said...: nope won't happen; 9:40 PM
CHB said...: got it...; 9:40 PM
CHB said...: NORM!!!!; 9:41 PM
