Hey everyone. Welcome to my world. I am in South Carolina attending tailback Marcus Lattimore's program announcing his decision between Auburn and South Carolina.As you may have read, most recruiting experts believe Lattimore will choose the Gamecocks. Either way, I'm stoked. There are people from the general public here already -- and the announcement is more than two hours away.
I'll update as information comes available.
UPDATE @ 4:50 p.m. CST
It's a full house.
FIRST!
ReplyDeleteLattimoreless substance
ReplyDeletegetcha some of that Lattimore!
ReplyDeleteGot me on the Sign-in Scottie.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it safe JGT. I still hold out hope we get him signed.
Thanks for the updates.
interesting church that provides check cashing and western union service
ReplyDeleteso JG, we gonna meet up for a coffee or diet coke on your way home?
ReplyDeleteLT, i'm ALWAYS signed in brotha. ;)
ReplyDeleteScottie - not if you are in Knoxville and JGT gets lost on the way home.
ReplyDeleteCheck cashing place next door.....Sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhere you at, Scottie?
ReplyDeleteJGT...
ReplyDeleteIf you get stranded in the ATL on the way back... feel free to ping ...
They planning on passing the plate down before the big announcement
ReplyDeletei'm in Knoxvegas baby. thought you'd have to pass through here on I-40/I-75. no?
ReplyDeleteWe are Latti-less, but maybe less will be more...or something like that.
ReplyDeleteJG, can you put in a live video feed or CIL for this?
ReplyDeleteget yourself a map, Scottie
ReplyDeleteGood call Jimmy...
ReplyDeleteIf it were a Roman Catholic Church you could bet on it....
I see scottie was a Geography major in college...
ReplyDeleteLOL!
now THT, that would be way too much work. and, duh, I-85 to ATL then to SC. my bad. didn't think that all the way through. been working too hard i guess.
ReplyDeleteeasy birthday boy!
ReplyDeleteDL...
ReplyDeleteAny Baptist Church in Etowah County would do the same...
On the way back, maybe JGT could meet up with THT and family.
ReplyDeleteJet,
ReplyDeleteI hope Mrs. Jet doesn't have pneumonia.
Jay, I'm glad you made it to the church. Maybe if you could stand and sing something....
I know you guys are sorta bummin' because Lattimore apparently has decided on USC, but this is so fun for me.
ReplyDeleteWe're in a church. There will be an actual program complete with a sermon. Lattimore's brothers, Tarik and Octavius, will speak.
I'd say there are 150 people here already.
Feel free to stop by my place on your way home also Jay G.
ReplyDeletean acutal church service? cool. never seen that before.
ReplyDeleteJGT with the double post.
ReplyDeleteHe's a good kid, JGT. Enjoy the service. I hope he has the same kind of success that Emmitt Smith had at Florida.
ReplyDeletePF and snowhare will be expecting you to stop by too, JGT.
ReplyDeleteLOL, wake.
ReplyDeleteYeh, JGT, stop by all the Hotties on the way home.
That would be success against everyone but AU, right, THT?
ReplyDeleteFaker,
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
.....and many more!
Absolutely, ScottChoc
ReplyDeleteLooks like an impressive place. Who wouldn't want to stay in SC??? Plenty of check cashing sites, pawn shops, and ....
ReplyDeleteJGT - why don't you stop by and see Aero on your way home. Maybe y'all can smooth things over with an in home visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you missinit.
ReplyDeleteYep, Happy Birthday, FSJ!
ReplyDeleteA service? interesting
ReplyDeleteI'm picturing Rev Brown from Coming to America.
Rumors everywhere. Can't even get work done for the phone ringing off the hook. Mom has got to get on this site and handle her own business.
ReplyDeleteMcCready is 95% sure Coleman is switching.
ReplyDeleteHope the Preacher prays for the lost, the least, and the second place finishers in the SC recruiting sweepstakes. Oh, and please remind him that Saban and Bar Fans will enjoy Lakes of FIRE for eternity.
ReplyDeletejay g., you should stop by Jackson, MS on your way home tomorrow. maybe sit in the studio with those radio jerks.
ReplyDeleteI'm 95.7% sure McCready is full of crap.
ReplyDeleteIs this guy the pastor at Lattimore's church?
ReplyDeleteRev. Benny
Benny gives Jimmy Johnson a good run for his money on that stylin' doo!
ReplyDeleteIt would be very difficult for Lattimore to say he's going to Auburn in front of all those hometown fans, friends and family members. Especially in a packed church.
ReplyDeleteI was holding out hope before, but there's no way he's coming to Auburn now.
OK. The wifi has bogged down. No dice. I am on cellular broadband.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it will carry video. I'm pretty doggone disappointed.
Whatever happens, CH=B, jhag told you so.
ReplyDeleteNow that was pretty funny Scott.
ReplyDeleteHearing some things that are good for AU. Coleman is coming. Don't listen to McCready. This is how everyone plays the big time recruiting game.
ReplyDeleteput on your big boy/girl panties and get ready to play.
GET SOME!!111!1oneone
ReplyDeletei have on my big girl underpants already
ReplyDeletewtc,
ReplyDeletei only have Big Boy Undies or Comando but definitely NGA= no girls allowed.... not back to the substance!
big boy panties on
ReplyDeletecheck
re: big boy panties...
ReplyDeleteHarrison, I think he means a clean pair.
Jay, you should really listen to Scottie. I hear he has a doozy of a shortcut to Auburn for you.
ReplyDeleteOops...knew I forgot something.
ReplyDeletewtc - what if some Hotties choose to go "Commando"?
ReplyDeleteok, ok, i'll learn my geography. i'll just so sit with my nose stuck in the corner now.
ReplyDeletesorry about the wifi. guess a church doesn't prepare for such things.
Bryan Matthews agrees with wtc.
ReplyDeleteA church might be the safest place for Lattimore to announce he is going to Auburn.
ReplyDeleteI am a bunch of idiots!
ReplyDeleteHeh heh, wtc said "panties".
ReplyDeleteFSJ-I heard Saban has called him 4x today and Pendry 2x.
ReplyDeleteTHT we all have different definitons of clean
ReplyDeleteyou don't get to be King of Eurasia by being an idiot. Thighmaster perhaps, but not KoE.
ReplyDeleteDo Underoos™ (Aquaman) = big boy panties, wtc?
ReplyDeletewtc - I hope he's turned his cell phone off.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I'm seeing Harrison as "Pete Twinkle" and Michael as "Greg Stink" on the ESPN Classic skits on Saturday Night Live.
ReplyDeleteSummer's Eve ... douche.
As for wtc's surprise, I will take Jarrick Williams for a 1000, Alex, I mean wtc.
ReplyDeleteCan you make calls during this period?
ReplyDeleteI'm not as up on the rules as everyone else.
"Clean" = NO skid marks (darn)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the REC threats to family members will be starting soon. Oh wait, there is no REC.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWhat if Coleman has told 2 different schools he is coming? That would explain some things. And now it is like some silly sitcom plot. He is going to try to commit to both of them. He will go to dinner with Chizik in an Auburn hat, and then be like, "Well, uhh, I have to go to the rest room" and then run across the street to dinner with Saban, where he switches to an Alabama hat, and then after a couple of minutes he is all like "wait, uhhh, I forgot something in my car" and then he runs back to Chiz, and he does this a few more times, but then one time he accidentally wears the Alabama hat when he goes back to Chiz, and Chiz says, "Say, what's goin on around here!?"
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that happens.
This is the first time in two years that I'm glad McCready isn't on the radio in Mobile any longer. The inevitable aspersions he'd cast on commits and the coaching staff in general would be too much to take, I think.
ReplyDeleteFSJ - Saban can make calls whenever he wants ;-)
ReplyDeletecrap Jet..now I have to go look that up. I don't recall those.
ReplyDeletePete Twinkle doesn't sound like the toughest fella
Anyone remember the SNL skit with Billy Dee Williams? Cold Cock?
ReplyDeleteHere's to Lattimore giving all those SC and recruiting fools a Cold Cock with his announcement.
This has been an entertaining day...no doubt.
ReplyDeleteWonder if the church is gonna have a pot luck dinner after the announcement today?
Any chance of Jay playing a wav of Jim Fyffe shouting Touchdown Auburn!!! after Marcus' Momma Speaks?
ReplyDeleteH ... Pete is the smart, smarmy one.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone wearing the panties their "mother laid out" for them?"
ReplyDeleteHarrison/Jet - Pete Twinkle reminds me of Dick Trickle. Maybe that was intentional.
ReplyDeleteNice Seinfeld reference...
ReplyDeletePerhaps we have been too lazy. We should have gotten 600 hotties to show up at the church 4 hours before the announcement. We could have flooded the church with Orange & Blue and then....oh, perhaps he would think us insane.
ReplyDeleteFaker,
ReplyDeleteYou will appreciate this!
I spent this past weekend with my son and his family in Atlanta. He is hooked on the TV Pitmaster series, so for his birthday last week my daughter in law got a little surprise from Myron Mixon. She ordered some meat rubbing stuff and a tee shirt for him. Myron even included a personalized birthday note. WooHoo!!
He was hilarious. I wish I had a video of him grilling. He was impersonating Myron the WHOLE time he was grilling....cussing like a sailor. I do believe that is his favorite thing about Myron.
By the way, I went back and looked and both Myron and the Cool Smoke guy have won the KCBS cookoff my brother and sister in law do the first week in August in Dillard, Georgia.
Do all KCBS cookoffs have one or two extras foods that they judge other than pork, ribs, chicken and brisket? I have noticed they do cabbage and/or mountain trout at theirs. Do different places do different things?
I think JayG should pull a line from Dead Poets Society: (JGT speaking into phone in hushed and crowded church awaiting announcement) "Hello? Yes, he's right here. Reverend Brown, it's God. He says Marcus is going to Auburn ... OR ELSE."
ReplyDeleteor not. with that, I'm heading home.
ReplyDeleteScottie - I may stop by for a diet coke on the way home.
ReplyDeleteJay G, I'm sorry you're not getting to do all you wanted to do for this, but I look forward to your write-up on it just the same!
ReplyDeleteWhat's with this "get some"?
Season premiere of Lost in a few hours! Jay G, you didn't forget to set the DVR, did you?
Is there any NCAA rule against having the entire Auburn Marching Band show up at a recruits announcement? Just thinking out of the box. I can't believe the coaches didn't think of this one.
ReplyDeletemissinit...
ReplyDeleteI like Myron too. He's a trip.
As far as an "extra" category....a lot of competitions do an extra category for fun....dessert or an anything but BBQ category.
Competition BBQ really is fun. It's like a tailgate party that lasts all weekend.
come on by THT. i'll buy.
ReplyDeleteI TOLD JayG there would be no internet access. GET SOME!!
ReplyDeleteSteve-You ccould be the big prize winner.
ReplyDeleteThanks wtc. It would make sense.
ReplyDeleteJust couldn't believe we were on our 2nd HABOTN thread about panties and no one had brought up that Seinfeld line. Btw, who is it besides Harrison who is uncomfortable with the word, "panties"? For my own amusement, I need to know who is squirming.
ReplyDeletesuch a filthy sounding word
ReplyDeleteMarcus-I prayed about it last might and today and feel that God has told me to choose SC.
ReplyDeleteJayG-Marcus, I just got through praying about it and He wants to talk to you again.
and jockstrap isn't?
ReplyDeletenope, jockstraps are hilarious
ReplyDeleteI think the discomfort depends on who's uttering the word. Sexy chick at Victoria's Secret? No. Deranged Truckers and phys. ed teachers? Yes.
ReplyDeleteI only like panties if they are of the "granny" variety.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteLuv, I don't think you want any, but if you do then you best to step up!!
ReplyDeleteFSJ, now I'm squirming.
ReplyDeleteDVR is SET. Yes maam.
ReplyDeleteI have internet access. It's just not very good.
Just spoke with Marcus' brother, Octavius. Said Marcus has been "stressing" about this because he doesn't want to let anybody down. That's the hard part of stuff like this.
Isn't a former UA player Jarrick Williams' coach?
ReplyDeleteI think the Raising Arizona quote ("Boy, you got a panty on yo head") trumps Seinfeld. If you want to see who brought it up, check the archives (and "get some").
ReplyDeleteRe: Get some:
ReplyDeleteI don't know about anyone else, but I'm just mocking it.
JayGT: Paraphrase some Jack Handy and tell him, "It's raining outside, and that's because your brother, Marcus, made God cry."
ReplyDeleteweagle, the phrase "get some" cries out for mockery
ReplyDeleteweagle, I'm sure there was a conversation about it and I missed it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the pressure of people around him got to Marcus. I honestly believe that going to Auburn gives him the better shot of making the NFL. I feel sorry for the kid. The pressure must be huge.
ReplyDeleteP*****s is a dirty word and I don't want to see it typed on here anymore.
ReplyDeleteUnderwear, underbritches and skimpys are all acceptable replacements.
Get some?
ReplyDeleteIs that a pickup line?
Luv, Jhag first uttered the term in a argument over recruiting... we have all picked it up.
ReplyDeleteWake, what about underpants?
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the ridiculous cheer that we do sometimes: "GET SOME!" ("WHAT?") "YARDAGE!" ("OH!")
ReplyDeleteDon't know where it came from, why we do it, or who thought it up. Auburn's been doing that cheer since, um, the late 80's at least.
FSJ-Not sure about that. I was told he (might) have visited this weekend though.
ReplyDeleteunderpants is acceptable as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the "Raising Arizona" line is better, but it did make it into the last discussion.
ReplyDeletePanties! Get some!
I thought Sigler was his coach, but I could be mistaken.
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff. I'm having a lot of fun today reading about all of this.
underpants is preferred
ReplyDeleteLost! Get some!
ReplyDeleteDid I use it correctly?
WTC
ReplyDeleteis that the big surprise?
Luv, if you want to tell Harrison to get lost, you can just say it the regular way.
ReplyDeleteLux - We're all mocking Get Some. I found it to be a very humorous exchange. It definitely involved jhag and I think Turfman was the other participant.
ReplyDeletePerfect, Luv!
ReplyDeleteSkivvies?
ReplyDeleteIt definitely involved some middle school playground antics that don't translate very well to a message board.
ReplyDeleteWDE-no.
ReplyDeleteScott Choco, ha ha!
ReplyDeleteActually, I kinda like Harrison. Remember, I missed him when he was gone. I was the only one that noticed he was.
PANTIES! PANTIES! PANTIES!
ReplyDeleteTake that Wake.
GET SOME!
They're now seating people upstairs. The pews are full.
ReplyDeleteLuv thats the great thing about Get some... it can't be misused. Use it however you like... make it your own.
ReplyDeleteI however do over use ellipses.
Finebaum discussing using funds in churches for recruiting...
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff.
Wow. He's a popular kid. What is the population of Duncan?
ReplyDeleteYou may be in for a long evening, JGT.
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo. I'm kind of liked..now to partially win over some more folks on here
ReplyDeleteI've heard 3000 Luv.
ReplyDeletethanks for noticing that i was gone too Luv
ReplyDeleteThey're now seating people upstairs. The pews are full.
ReplyDeleteThey're now seating people upstairs. The pews are full.
ReplyDeleteFSJ-it has been interesting.
ReplyDeleteAU folks wanting to believe everyone of their guys is staying with AU. Being all paranoid. UA people wanting to believe that if Saban offers, the kid surely will come to UA. Being all paranoid. Both sides looking for a way to spin the story if the kid doesn't come to their school.
Not on this blog though. Just out on the other sites that everyone can read.
Hey JGT, I've heard they are seating people upstairs, any truth to that rumor?
ReplyDeletesit in the back like a good Baptist Jay
ReplyDeleteshould someone say a few words before we get started?
ReplyDeleteYou mean when Harrison rubbed it in our faces that he was going to Hawaii and we weren't?
ReplyDeletei wonder how full it is there
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some full pews.
ReplyDeleteI'm going home.
ReplyDeleteThey're now seating people upstairs. The pews are full.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the status with the pews in there? Are they full yet?
ReplyDeleteLOL at Jay G.
ReplyDeleteThey're now seating people upstairs. The pews are full.
ReplyDeletei think the drive has gotten to JG. he took my mapquest advice and has lost his mind.
ReplyDeletepanties.
ReplyDeleteOh no, Homer the robot is malfunctioning! I hope he doesn't explode during church service.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. We're all counting on you.
ReplyDeletepanties in church? well i've never heard of such!
ReplyDeleteCellular broadband speed down to 14.4 dialup speed. 4G cannot get here fast enough.
ReplyDeleteAt the Pastor's/Deacon's/Brother's or whoever it is from the church's official capacity closing remarks, do you think he'll say "Salvation, GET SOME!"?
ReplyDeleteNo one wears panties at your church, Scottie? Ummm, where exactly do you attend?
ReplyDeletelmao. got me ScottChoc. ha.
ReplyDeleteAre the pews full yet?
ReplyDeleteWe all wear halloween costumes at my church. It is pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding Scott C...
ReplyDeleteI can't remember, if Lattimore goes to USCe, does that mean SteveFC does or does not soil his panties?
ReplyDeleteWhat happens if/when they pass the hat?? Is that an NCAA violation? The term "recruiting" is taking on an entirely new meaning tonight. Reminds me of the Blues Brothers' "mission"
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone there yet besides Homer?
ReplyDeleteI thought only the pastor's side girls enjoyed the panties exemption?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Lacey What's-her-name-UT-hostess goes to Scottie's church?
ReplyDeleteDoes Latt have a committable offer from USCe?
ReplyDeleteI bet she does Scott.
ReplyDeletedid someone say UT hostess? yowzers.
ReplyDeleteThis is becoming the Hottest Pew Blog On The Net!!!!
ReplyDeleteLacey Underall???
ReplyDeleteFSJ-someone posted that Coleman put his number on the national Do Not Call List and Saban will now be fined $750k just for today.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I ought to zip up there and give 'em one of my Revival sermons.
ReplyDeletealright, i've got to go home.
ReplyDeletei'll be awaiting the HABOTN/Lattimore Twitter update JG. i should be somewhere around the fresh produce at Ingle's when it all goes down.
peace to all.
But will Saban get to deduct the $500 the REC slipped in SC's mailbox this morning?
ReplyDeleteLOL..
ReplyDeleteColeman had a previous soliciting relationship with Saban.
Can't fine him for that.. :-P
JayG-holler Hootie Ho and see if you get a response.
ReplyDelete"I was born to love you, I was born to lick your face, I was born to rub you, but you were born to rub me first." Sing along, everybody!
ReplyDeleteYes, Lacey Underall. In addition to recruiting; she enjoys skinny-skiing, going to bullfights on acid and many other family fun things.
ReplyDeleteI'd give 'em one from Genesis 12:1-3.
ReplyDelete"Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
I am getting kicked out of my house, but I am getting ice cream... so I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteI will be awaiting the twitter announcement as well.
Soliciting relationship. As in getting money from, doing business with, relationship? I knew it. Call the NCAA.
ReplyDeleteSoliciting relationships? Are we talking about a "john" and professional girl type thing?
ReplyDeleteWhat time does the announcement happen?...I guess I should say "start" since it seems to be a production.
ReplyDeletethis whole fiasco reminds me of the time I announced I would go to Gadsden State for my first year of college
ReplyDeleteAnnouncement due around 5:22 CST.
ReplyDeleteThere will be a "gimmick" to aid Lattimore's announcement. Gets better every minute.
Don't tell me he will make his announcement in a chicken suite!!!
ReplyDeleteLive gamecocks released from the balcony?
ReplyDeleteNorm!!!
ReplyDeleteDo it.
ReplyDeleteA wunna anna two anna...
ReplyDeleteBOOM!!!
ReplyDeleteGET SOME!!!!
PANTIES!!!
