Your Friday Thread

Hey everyone. I am in Kentucky handling some family business, which means my ability to blog is essentially zero.

I'm on dial-up. Forgive the blog's rough appearance.

I'll soon begin writing a story for Sunday about the Tigers' 2010 signing class. Should I deem it an overall success? Yeah, probably.

For the guy who emailed and ripped me for covering the "negative" news associated Marcus Lattimore, let me break some news: The sun doesn't shine every day. Look out the window.

Feel free to comment about whatever strikes your fancy.

Have a nice day.

JG's keeping the interwebs confused.

They can't figger out whether he's a homer or a hater.

Some folks can't handle objective observations and reporting.

JGT

I gotta know, are the guys from supersport 930 as they seem when they do the segment? Also you have got to campfire with Ben Ingram when the Braves go through Montgomery, since he such a 'legend' at on the vent.

I get a kick out of those segments.

I know you've said this before Jay, but what part of Kentucky is "home".

Wake, I agree! As long as Jay G has been around Auburn athletics, how can he NOT have acquired a love for it?

He does an EXCELLENT job of being objective. I don't understand the criticism. Well, I guess I should - it comes from bammers.

Great title to article (sarcasm)….Auburn has best recruiting class in 25 years and you hit the negative. Fine job.

With biased media coverage in Alabama always trying to create perception, Auburn always has the much higher “hill to climb” than UA on the national scale.

Although you’re fairly objective with AU, many times you come across negatively; as if you would prefer not being AU’s beat writer.

Just an observation.

Why does it always have to be us vs them for some Auburn fans?

There was no need to even drop the evil name in the email to Jay G.

That stuff drives me crazy.

Certainly not the most aggressive email ever -- or even in the top 20% -- but to rip me after I just wrote 135 column inches about Auburn in one day seems odd.

Kentucky basketball fan is almost as bad as Bammer football guy.

I got one at my church and is a deacon with me He wears his UK stuff and calls every ticky tack thing in pickup games. On top of that, after every game he preaches about how he never fouls, but get hacked all day, all the while I have bruises from hacks I didn't call from him.

I was like "dude, John Wall is not your teammate and coach Cal is not calling your for rules help, shut up.

Not everything from Kentucky is all that great.

Business travel got old after my first business trip. It keeps getting older. It sounds neat and occasionally you get to see a bit of the area you travel to, but most of the time you spend the entire time working or spending quality time with other employees. It is stressful.

Blogger weagle251 said...

At least the email wasn't of the "OMGWTF CUT US SUM SLACK BAMMAR HOMER!!!11" variety.

Best thing about Jay is that he's been on the Auburn beat all these years, and I have yet to detect a trace of bitterness in his columns or his articles. That hasn't always been the case for his Mobile brethren.

9:46 AM  
Blogger Wakeriderof87 said...

I hate flying. I am tall with bad knees and can't afford first class. Sitting in those tiny seats is pretty painful. I always seem to fly last minute so I can't get exit row seats.

I love driving. I had alot of great trips between here and Auburn.

I used to travel at least twice a month or more.

I have the fortune of having a job where I got to see fun things. I have been to 16 or 17 ballparks, etc. Those types of trips are still fun, but since I got married it got old.

It is hard to juggle travel and home stuff.

Take it from a converted Bammer. They hate it when AU folks ignore them. Therefore ignore them except to ridicule and hate them. It's insulting to even compare AU to them. Never compare.

Fans like the guy in that email that worry about the perception of "climbing hills" just feed the Bammer's demented psyche.

When we just worry about us ..we are better than them.

JGT, I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your job. I would imagine that means there is far less negative energy flowing around the AU Athletics Dept (and especially the football offices) than in recent years.

Saban 4-4 in the SEC his first year

Just a quick check in before we head out to the Grand Hotel. I don't think we have internet capabilities out there (without having to pay for it anyway) so I am probably out of touch for a couple of days.

Jay G Tate work, at it's best, is some times drudgery but I always believed it was made better by doing something you enjoyed. I enjoyed my many different jobs in Engineering. It would be really sad to be stuck in a job you really didn't like. I have met some people of that nature. Many wouldn't be happy doing any kind of work and were very sad people.

Get mowed down repeatedly or b. witness Lattimore catch 20 passes out of the backfield for minimal yardage.

Hotel I'd want

The Radisson Suites on Richmond Road.

If you're approaching Commonwealth Stadium, you want to approach via Alumni Dr. That means you want hotels on Richmond Rd., which is easily accessible from Alumni.

That's your travel tip for today!

(p.s. The Holiday Express on Virginia Ave. is good, too.)

Howdy all! JGT said we could comment on whatever we want.

I just flew in from Orlando (70) to Baltimore (35) this morning. 20-28 inches of snow expected thru Saturday.

I hope my wife realizes how much I love her....my flight was cancelled today and could have been stuck until Tuesday SWA said.

I nominate Wake for top of the page quote with:
That probably a good thing Jay G, you might have picked a poor profession if you didn't like writing.

THT, I think your prediction is off a little. We had that many last year.

Would anyone like to designate an official "HABOTN" tail-gate spot for A-Day? If anyone is familiar with the parking lot beside the business building there are several grassy areas where tents can be set up for A-Day. We did it last year and it was very easy to get in and out of.

yep, that was me. Firefox had a bit of GE Reflux. I tried to wipe it up so other Hottie posts wouldn't get it all over themselves.

Luv,
Yes, the writer of that article is very bammeresque. I was fuming when I read that Wednesday. My wife learned more about recruiting than she ever cared to know during my rant.

The Times Daily/Decatur Daily (same beat writers) are not known for objective coverage of AU & UAT. Here was their Bama headline from the same issue: Allen’s letter notably missing.

Arguably a much bigger loss for Bama (especially since, unlike Lattimore he was actually committed) but not nearly the negativity of "Auburn loses crown jewel"

I'm sure there will be an official Hottie-Ho® map in circulation prior to the game.

12:45 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

Buried drifters on said map to be denoted by a scarlet M.

I nominate Hoopie's lawn for the next campfire....special guests will include me and jhag .

Wait, am I a punk?

I don't know if it has ever been mentioned on this blog, but internet explorer sucks.

IE=preferred browser for walmartians

12:53 PM  
Blogger Norm said...

Wake - Google Chrome.

Tar Heel,
Thanks for cleaning up your own mess. As the old saying goes, "ya mama don't work here no mo"

C.C.

Don't worry Norm I'm a chromer, however I am trying to access one of those lazy sites that has the market cornered, so they only make it accessible from one poorly equipped browser.

1:00 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

Since Chrome has never been discussed here, all of you should try it.

1:00 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

Chrome is the Chiz of web browsers.

1:02 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

chrome?

1:03 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

tht, let me explain...

1:04 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

campfire at Hoopie's? sweet.

1:04 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

who first mentioned Google Chrome here?

1:04 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

we've discussed favorite AU games, bbq joints, doughnut shops, web browsers, 'cruitin', and fiftyeleven other topics. What's next?

1:04 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

prolly u PF. i've been using it for a year at least.

1:05 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I'm sure it must have been me, PF. I only bring smart ideas to HABOTN.

1:05 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

THT, since you brought it up, what's your take on Taylor Swift's VMA & Grammy performances?

i jest.

1:06 PM  
Blogger Wakeriderof87 said...

I've been using it since it came out as well. It was love at fist click.

1:06 PM  
Blogger Scott Coats said...

Wake,
There is now an extension that allows you to view IE only pages in Chrome. Kind of like the feature on Firefox. It open the page in an IE based tab.

1:07 PM  
Blogger Wakeriderof87 said...

Is there any truth to the Chris Todd to Texas Tech rumors. I heard he will be there starting QB next year.

I don't know, ask Steve from Lubbock.

Blogger CHB said...

scoats, how do you get that extension? I just got chrome earlier this week and love it, but I noticed that some sites don't display correctly and here at work I can't use for our personalized web stuffs.

1:15 PM  
Blogger IV said...

Yes PF, you and jhag are punks.

1:15 PM  
Blogger IV said...

And you can't come in my yard either.

1:16 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

Also with IE would allow your anti-virus to scan each site and tell if it was safe. Does chrome have that feature?

1:17 PM  
Blogger IV said...

I jest PF. Next campfire in IV's yard.

1:17 PM  
Blogger Coffee Cup said...

Wake,
No to the rumors of Cris Todd to TT, but i did hear they got a long-snapper to commit!

1:18 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

I think Tubbs signed 3 long snappers. You really can't have too many.

1:20 PM  
Blogger ehyou said...

They're all here.

Hope no one needs the federal government. The snow has started and we're all home cocooning.

Hmm... maybe that's a good thing.

1:26 PM

I've always wanted less federal gov't, NoVa.

Thanks ehyou

Paging Norm....

you think we could get the walmartians to add a pacifier to the statue of their leader?

1:41 PM

Here I'm is...

1:41 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

do you need just a little nudge?

1:43 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

i think this is going to be a slow motion flip, good for teaching purposes.

1:44 PM  
Blogger Norm said...

Sort of like Single-A Baseball perhaps?

1:45 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

even those with special needs should be able to learn from this one.

1:46 PM  
Blogger Norm said...

So it'd be perfect for someone like Jet.

20-30+ of snow expected.
