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.

Anonymous said...: 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.; 9:26 AM
stupup74 said...: 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.; 9:26 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I know you've said this before Jay, but what part of Kentucky is "home".

Hoopie, I'm still hanging on to my belief that JGT is little by little becoming a homer. How can you NOT love Auburn?; 9:27 AM
Anonymous said...: RK calling JG a hater?

That's funny righd 'dere.; 9:28 AM

I hope you enjoy your time at home.; 9:31 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Oh Hoopie, you'd miss me if I weren't here.; 9:31 AM
WarEagleRK said...: My wife was born in Louisville so during basketball season we watch a lot of Cards games...this year hasn't been as fun.; 9:32 AM
Anonymous said...: Wake ...JG hasn't slipped up and admitted it even once in the 3 years I've been around here.

We may have to give up and believe him.; 9:32 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: 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.; 9:32 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Luv,

The only negative I see is Stephen Davis being involved in the show.; 9:33 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Luv -- I'll just post the email.; 9:33 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: 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.; 9:35 AM
Anonymous said...: RK , I suspect you've been real busy because you haven't had the time for that cynicism we love.

No worries tho' PF is taking up the slack.; 9:35 AM
WarEagleRK said...: 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.; 9:36 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: 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.; 9:36 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: WTH????? What a jerk. I can't speak for all the Hotties, but I don't get where that person is coming from at all. You are sportswriter. You cover sports news. Lattimore's story was news.; 9:37 AM
Unknown said...: Jay, maybe the sun doesn't shine in your world every day, but some of us prefer to live in our own special happy happy joy joy world. Don't destroy my delusions.; 9:37 AM
Anonymous said...: Jet ....pay cash money to the gate agent for a seat up front. You are in for some bumpy rides today.

I'm glad I don't fly anymore. Air travel ceased being glamourous in the late 90's.; 9:38 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Hoopie,

You and Aero seemed to be the only ones it got to, maybe you were just more sensitive to my "cynicism" during football season?

It's not Haiti, it's just college football.; 9:38 AM
stupup74 said...: 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.; 9:39 AM
Unknown said...: Hoopie, I fly to Oregon Sunday. Should I be scared?; 9:39 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: "Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home...."

sing with me JG!; 9:40 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I'm not a big fan of travel by air or land. It stopped being fun after about age 25 or so.

I just want to get there, I hate the actual trip.; 9:40 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: I guess if you're going to be Hater Tate you should change your avatar.; 9:42 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i haven't been on an airplane since i flew from Lexington the Houston, then from Baton Rouge back to Lexington for the 2001 AU-LSU game. fun trip. crappy game.; 9:43 AM
Unknown said...: 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.; 9:43 AM
stupup74 said...: Flying probably safer than driving a toyota.; 9:43 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Haha "135 inches" about Auburn, I love it.

There are always going to be haters. You do a great job and all of us appreciate it.; 9:43 AM
Scott Coats said...: Ah, my old Kentucky home.... I lived in Paducah for several years.

One of two places I've lived that I would move back to in an instant (Auburn being the other); 9:44 AM
Unknown said...: I haven't flown in about a year and a half. Before that, I usually traveled to Oregon about 5 or 6 times a year for about 10 days per trip. It got extremely old.; 9:44 AM
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
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.; 9:46 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I'd rather have Jay G write the way he does than have some of the homeriffic stuff I've seen in articles out of B-ham.; 9:47 AM
stupup74 said...: 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.; 9:47 AM
IV said...: Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.; 9:48 AM
Anonymous said...: 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.; 9:48 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I am less bitter now than ever. I enjoy my job more than ever. Them's the facts.; 9:49 AM
stupup74 said...: Here is what I don't get, people like Cecil Hurt are unbiased, but JGT is a homer, then he is a hater?

WTH.; 9:49 AM

Ahem.; 9:51 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Glad your liking your job.

Thats awesome stupup, I have 3 things I want to accomplish in my life, one of them is seeing a game in every teams ballpark. My list is pretty short right now.; 9:51 AM
IV said...: I know, I know, I know....; 9:53 AM
Fearless Freep said...: 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. While I'm sure it made for good newsgathering opportunities, I don't know if I could deal with that kind of bad vibe day in and day out.

Get some, my friend. You've earned it!; 9:54 AM
Anonymous said...: Freep .. I spewed my coffee! LMAO.; 9:55 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: freep, that is excellent.; 9:56 AM
weagle251 said...: Derp, I meant to say JGT maintains his objectivity without a trace of bitterness.

@Freep We gotta stop that Inside Trout! I love Joe Kines.; 9:57 AM
Fearless Freep said...: Thanks Hoop. When I first saw that fark thread, that's the image that immediately popped into my mind.

Hard to believe that was just three years ago. Seems more like 30.; 9:57 AM

WarEagleRK said...: Freep that was excellent.; 9:59 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Hotties,
I heard the Crap Cecil Hurt spwed out about trying to compare CGC to Saban not (his) first year but Saban now to CGC's first year and it was pathetic! That's like appels to oranges...

I have a Stat for you and this is FACTS:
Saban 4-4 in the SEC his first year
Chizik- 3-5 in the SEC his first year....WOW what a big difference!!!!!

I just wish they would stop trying to say Alabama's Beat Writers are not Homers but Auburn's are...PLEZZZZZZZ!!; 9:59 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JGT - That makes me so happy to hear that you are enjoying covering our AU Tigers. (Our being the Hotties, not yours personally).; 9:59 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: "Can't we all just get along"?
Rodney King- after the Beat down!!!; 10:02 AM
Fearless Freep said...: Thanks again, guys. I have my fun from time to time.

BTW, when that interview took place, I just happened to be sitting with my best AU friend, sipping single malt scotch, watching Kines endear himself to the ESPN viewing public on the widescreen TV above the fireplace near the bar at the Hotel at Auburn University.

Good times.; 10:06 AM
Dan Armstrong said...: Freep's "Fark" was so good they took it down already....or am I the only one who can't see it?; 10:07 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: rats, that video requires Silverlight which I can't install on the work PC. And I apparently can't install it on my U3; 10:08 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I just enjoy writing. It's what I like doing.; 10:09 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: That probably a good thing Jay G, you might have picked a poor profession if you didn't like writing.; 10:11 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I like old maps. Unfortunately, I don't get paid for it.; 10:12 AM
Miller said...: Scotto Choco, you workin' today? I may be dropping by shortly.; 10:15 AM
michael said...: Great shop. Freep.

And writer Tate is a cynical Homer. That's the conclusion we have come to, right?; 10:22 AM
cincytiger said...: I think we should rename Jay "Hater Tater" or has someone already done that? I still can't figure out how that was negative reporting. I feel like I get great, very unbiased reporting from Jay. Guess everyone has to have something to complain about.; 10:23 AM
cincytiger said...: 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.

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend and you get to do just what you want.; 10:26 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Jay G (don't Hate just Appreciate) Tate.... that's the ticket!!!!; 10:26 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Cincy are you in my neck of the Woods?; 10:27 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Cincy - have a blast. Just remember, my part of the omelet has no vegetative matter, so that bite is for me.; 10:28 AM
cincytiger said...: I'm at my sister's in Fairhope right now. We are heading out to the Grand in a few hours and will stay until Sunday.; 10:28 AM
cincytiger said...: THT,
What do you want in your part of the omelet - just meat and cheese?; 10:30 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Cincy very nice... I'm in Mobile stuck at work..... BTW my wifey graduated from USA in Nursing BSN and MSN and now works in the Mother Baby Unit at USA Children's and Women's Hospital; 10:30 AM
Kathy said...: Good Friday Morning Hotties! My busy week accumulated so many extra hours that I got to take today off. Unfortunately I missed the Signing Day excitement. Happy to see Auburn do so well.

I was looking at next year's schedule trying to decide which away games to attend. I'm thinking Kentucky might be a nice trip. JGT do you have any recommendations for hotels to reserve? Also think a trip to Ole Miss might be in order too.; 10:35 AM
Unknown said...: What's dial-up?; 10:35 AM
Aeronaut said...: WarEagleRK said...

You and Aero blah blah

I don't have any problem with JG's coverage. I humorously questioned JG for saying that he is interviewing coaches that played against Newton. It was a joke that didn't go very well. I apologized, he didn't care. BFD.

I moved on, he moved on. Yours are still in a wad.

In fact yours are in a wad for being criticized for hurling BS accusations. Would you move on, unwad them sometime soon and quit with your BS?

Thank you.; 10:35 AM
cincytiger said...: AUn,
I graduated from USA in 1981 and worked in the Emergency Admit Unit at USA. I loved it! But, I haven't worked in over 20 years. I have several friends who keep wanting me to get back into nursing. Don't think that is going to happen.; 10:36 AM
digger4au said...: 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.; 10:38 AM
Kathy said...: I watched some of that ustream last night with Mario, Cam Newton, Stevens, Isom, TZac, Zac, Savage, et al. Seems like Newton has made some friends on the team. They were playing Madden. It's amazing what can be done in this computer era.; 10:39 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Hoopie hates young people.; 10:39 AM
michael said...: GET OFF MY LAWN!; 10:40 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I was wondering about @KY, too, Kathy. I was thinking I'd try one SEC away game each year until I've been to each stadium. Octobers are awful busy, though.; 10:41 AM
cincytiger said...: Michael,
Why are you yelling? All you have to do is ask nicely. :); 10:42 AM
cincytiger said...: We haven't been to an away game since the AU-FSU game in 1984. I don;t think we could top that game, but I would like to see some of the other stadiums.; 10:44 AM
digger4au said...: What am I doing wrong!
I set up a link in HTML in Word and matched it asgainst the HTML formular all looked right. I pasted it in this box and it showed up with all the gobalygook formular and not as a link.; 10:45 AM
martini35504 said...: For me I'm going to try and get to the Clemson or USCe games. I had other reasons prior to signing day, but now want to see 1. D.J. Howard patrol the sidelines and 2. Marcus Lattimore either a. Get mowed down repeatedly or b. witness Lattimore catch 20 passes out of the backfield for minimal yardage.; 10:48 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: 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.); 10:48 AM
Scott Coats said...: You want a negative spin on missing Lattimore then read this: Tigers Lose Crown Jewel

This ran in Wednesday's paper here in Florence.; 10:52 AM
digger4au said...: I'm not too smart I didn't stay at the Holiday Express. Maybe I should have.; 10:52 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: UPDATE: The "Radisson Suites" are now the Doubletree Suites.

Sorry.; 10:52 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Thanks for the tip, Travel Agent Tate. I've sent it to my email for future reference.; 10:54 AM
Kathy said...: Thanks JGT!

Sorry if this has already been posted, but this is a youtube of the Dyer signing. His coach has some really nice things to say about him and Dyer's speech was very heartfelt. Great kid!

LuvAU1968 said...: Kathy, "if the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise," we are planning on going to the UK game and Clemson. If your away game buddies can't make it, you can hitch a ride with us! I'm sure we'll find a way to make the Ole Miss game too. MSU will probably be a same day trip.; 10:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: LUV - I thought you had season tickets? Won't you be at all the home games?; 10:59 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: SC, your link doesn't work!; 11:00 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: We'll be at all the home games, yes. The ones I was talking about in my previous post are away games.; 11:00 AM
Kathy said...: Thanks Luv! Don't we play Clemson at home? The MSU game is Thursday night. I haven't decided yet about that one yet.; 11:00 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: OOPS! You're right! I guess I'm getting ahead of myself! LOL; 11:01 AM

Are you going to reveal how old 2.0 will be?; 11:09 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: D. Miller, I am here.

Cincy, I will get to the Grand probably about when you are departing. I should be there around 9:00 or 9:30 on Sunday morning. Family except for my son and I will be there starting Saturday evening. Hope you enjoy your time there (and your omelet). Maybe we'll cross paths.; 11:09 AM
IV said...: Anyway,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2.0!!!!!!!; 11:11 AM
cincytiger said...: SC, We are leaving about 11 or so Sunday morning. Hope you enjoy your night on the Battleship with the Cub Scouts. My husband and son did that also. Fun times.

I am going to give you a quick call soon about Thursday. Anytime better than another?; 11:13 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: HAPPY BDAY 2.0!; 11:15 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Call anytime, Cincy. I've got a couple of people coming in to look at stuff today, but I don't know exactly when they're coming.

Regarding the battleship, the main thing I can't forget to pack is a pair of ear plugs. That many dads in one place will be a major snore-fest.; 11:23 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: nope, IV. She's all growed up so I'll leave that to her discretion.; 11:25 AM
Scott Chocolate said...: Btw, thanks for the link to the vid, Kathy. I am becoming more of a Dyer fan all the time.; 11:25 AM
cincytiger said...: That is exactly the thing my husband complained about! He doesn't snore, but he said all those dads' snoring in a tin can was deafening!; 11:25 AM
CHB said...: I don't understand the "negative" side of the Latt situation. We didn't get the guy, so what. We had a great class (some would say the best in our history). We got another 5* RB that many consider to be a better back. As for that other article posted about us losing our crown jewel...what a joke of an article.; 11:26 AM
CHB said...: Everyone is already talking about away games!! Who is going to A-Day?; 11:29 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: when is A-Day?; 11:29 AM
cincytiger said...: A-Day is April 17; 11:31 AM
Miller said...: Scotto Chocco

I found the place, and had just got pulled into a parking spot, but got a call and had to go. I know where it is now, and will schedule another visit.; 11:31 AM
Coffee Cup said...: THT,
April 17 and we will be there!; 11:31 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: thanks, Cincy/Coffee. Hmmm, I'll be in NYC the prior weekend and have to work the following weekend. That could be tiring for an old geezer like me. But the gravitational pull towards Samford Hall may be too much to resist.; 11:36 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 2.0 will be home by then. She may want to go, though it won't be for the football.; 11:37 AM
FSJ said...: Freep....

I love the fark. I have a great one of that pic that I'll post when I get home tonight..; 11:39 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: my overly generous prediction is 41,842

Unlike those trailer people, AU fans have a life outside of football.

Is that blasphemous?; 11:53 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: OK, I finally got to finish the article SC linked. Regardless of whether he writes for Auburn sports, he's a bammer. He should have just waited until the end of the day to write that article then maybe it might have sounded a tad more objective.; 11:55 AM

CHB said...: 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.; 12:24 PM

Scott Coats said...: 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"; 12:42 PM
