ReplyDeletehaters gone hate
ReplyDeleteGO AU TIGERS!!!
ReplyDeleteHome from work for the afternoon, getting psyched for a double shift working for the man tomorrow. Even worse is the dinner thingie I got roped into tonight. Some benefit dinner/concert where I may have to socialize. I'd much rather have a root canal.
ReplyDeleteTotally late on this, but my two cents: Tate was awesome, but Ingram is a level above him.
ReplyDeleteI am back not much going on in here. Basketball, if on TV I won't watch if blog is lively I will try very hard to be here to participate.
ReplyDeleteTate's strength was his consistency and durability. I do think he and Ingram are fairly comparable, but neither are outstanding tailbacks. Outstanding tailbacks are players you worry about playing. I had no worry about what Ingram would do in the Iron Bowl.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the Tigers tonight. They have had a rough season, but they are still Auburn and I still wish them the best.
Kentucky- Tennessee: Not all that competitive and not in the way you think.
ReplyDeleteit's in Knoxville, so that score doesn't surprise me.
ReplyDeletethere's no hockey on. I should take a nap.
This earthquake in Chile is huge. An 8.8 earthquake is huge. The Haitian earthquake was 7.1 if I remember correctly. Keep in mind it is a logarithmic scale. In other words an 8.0 is 10 times worse than a 7.0. This is very ugly.
ReplyDeleteBecause I knew you were wondering.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had Bruce Pearl as a coach. Look at the energy he brought to UCheat. He is also a great coach. Most teams would have given up had they gone through what they did earlier in the year.
ReplyDeleteIf AU does get rid of Lebo my three choices are Person, M. Anderson or the coach from BYU (can't remember his name)>
8.8 is frickin' enormous! Almost 100x the devastation from Haiti. Almost unfathomable.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with the number of earthquakes lately... just in the past couple of months, there have been numerous ones.
The last count I saw they have had nearly 40 aftershocks, many of them above 5.0. It is pretty incredible. During the last 100 or so years, there have probably been only about 3 or 4 earthquakes bigger than this one.
ReplyDeleteArgentina just had a 6.3 earthquake. Things are getting very messed up down there.
ReplyDelete5.0 is not an aftershock in my book.... that's another earthquake...
ReplyDeleteLGG Byron's ticket to next Saturday's fixture at Upton Park arrived today. He's stoked. Aisle seat 10 rows behind the West Ham bench. The Hammers will be battling Bolton Wanderers as each tries to keep their heads above water and stave off relegation.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if any of you care what I think, but comparing Tate's and Ingram's stats doesn't tell the whole story. Like Wake and chip chip said yesterday, UAT's OL was a lot better than Auburn's. I'm sure Tate could have had the same amount of yards (or more, if I have on my orange and blue glasses) if he had a better and more disciplined line blocking for him.
ReplyDeleteany of you EPL fans notice that all 6 goals in Man City's 4-2 win over Chelsea today were scored by former West Ham players?
ReplyDeleteOf course, I didn't have a clue until LGGB shared that morsel with me.
Looking at the stats Jay G posted, it looks like LSU is as bad as Auburn. We are gonna make a homemade pizza and get a few wings and watch anyway - for as long as we can stand it!
ReplyDeleteI'm using an iPhone and have no idea why that comment posted twice.
ReplyDeleteTar Heel, I can't believe you had to work this morning and tomorrow you have to work a double. It's Sunday!
ReplyDeleteProbably cause you hit publish twice... Happens when you're on a golf course and not paying full attention to posting.
ReplyDeleteI SHOULD be on a golf course!!
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me who UIC is?
ReplyDeleteUAT is playing them today in baseball... top 7 and UAT is up 25-1!
U Illinois-Chicago
ReplyDeleteHello to all you Hotties!
ReplyDeleteI have been with you in spirit but I have been too tired to post anything much, but as usual you all keep me laughing. Thank you for that!
I had the ablation on the remnants of my thyroid Thursday and I am out of the hospital and no longer in isolation.
It was lonely.
Now to move on with life!
War Eagle!
Obviously, not a very good team! LOL
ReplyDeleteMissinit, glad you are out of isolation and on to a full recovery!
ReplyDeleteHi missinit. We were missinu. Great to hear you are out of the hospital.
ReplyDeleteI'm bored... I need something to do...
ReplyDeleteWill someone buy me a video game?
Missinit: Isolation sounds sucky. Glad you're out.
ReplyDeleteMiller (what happened to the "D"?), go to the driving range. There's one on 119 probably not too far from your house. I forget what it's called.
ReplyDeleteFox news has live shots of the upcoming tsunami event in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteLuv... that one is closed til March for repairs...
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to lose weight... the D was the first step.
CH=B, when is it expected to hit? Do they know if most everyone made it to higher ground?
ReplyDeleteHottie Ho!
ReplyDeleteMiller: I bought Burnout Paraside for my week of furlough. Not a bad value for $15.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Miller! The only other ones I know about are Ballantrae and McDivot's. Actually, that's the name of the little bar. I forget the name of the range.
ReplyDeletehi 2.0!
ReplyDeleteHello, 2.0! What time is it in your part of the world?
ReplyDeleteit's 10:30 pm there and I was hoping she'd get on google so we could video chat :-(
ReplyDeletePut Tony Jones, UT assistant, on your radar screens.
ReplyDeleteHe's on mine.
Jet, I don't want an assistant. I want a proven coach at from a smaller conference.
ReplyDeleteI want someone who understands the brass knuckles world of the SEC.
ReplyDeleteI just want someone that knows how to win and on a more consistent basis!
ReplyDeleteJet wants John Brady
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are doing better, missinit. Hospitals stink. Too many sick people there.
ReplyDeleteEduardo, no, I don't.
ReplyDeleteDMiller-I found the UIC-UAt score to be 3-3 in the 10th.
ReplyDeleteI guess that was the 1st game. It did end 25-1. UGLT if you are a UIC fan.
ReplyDeleteDMiller-UIC is University of Illinois @ Chicago.
ReplyDeleteWTC,
ReplyDeleteYeah...they were playing 2 today.
Has the AU/Mizzou game started yet? Gametracker seems to be lagging.
