Another candidate emerges

Hey everyone. Sam Houston State coach Bob Marlin will be interviewed by Auburn in the coming days. Athletic director Jay Jacobs asked SHSU's athletic director, Bobby Williams, for permission on Monday afternoon.

This is attributable to a Houston TV station.

Marlin's Bearkats clobbered Auburn this season in Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum (big accomplishment) and qualified for the NCAA Tournament. He is 225-130 in 12 seasons at Sam Houston State. His teams have cracked the 20-win plateau six times.

As far as my lunch: I had a cheese sandwich at Momma G's.

I gave up all meat for Lent. Less than two weeks to go!

1:00 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Did they bring you crayons and a coloring book with your cheese sandwich?

I hope not. I think we ought to have the right to have a cheese sandwich without ridicule.

Momma G's sandwich=nice

Momma G's sandwich with no meat=not so nice.

Your a better man than me Jay G, I think I would go crazy if I gave up meat.

As I recall, he REALLY had a strong dislike for that teacher. I think there were certainly others more deserving of those emotions but that's just me. Of course, I'd just complain with buddies and not put a plan into action. But that's just me.

Luv: I'll know a legit candidate when I see him.

Johnny Jones isn't necessarily an also-ran. After talking to a few people about him, Jones has a good reputation. He's a recruiter. He's a marketer. He has a lot of zeal.

I'm still not sold on what he's accomplished on the court, but he's a reasonable fit in other ways.

This guy is probably not the guy either, but hiring a guy that beat the crap out of us seems to be heading in the right direction.

Now that's funny!

That is opposed to a different coaching search where we hired the coach of the only SEC team we beat the previous season.

I saw The Commodore's (the full original lineup) with Parliament back around '80 in the Gump, I also saw them several years ago at Jubilee Cityfest. EW&F is much, much better in my opinion.

2:42 PM

I'm thinking about going. I've been to a both Grand-Am weekends so far this year, and would love a chance to get to an Indy Car race (can't make Tampa this weekend, and I'm not missing football in October to go to the race in Miami).

I'd pay cash money to see a concert with:

Yeah, I would. I'd even sit with Norm and J-Z.

Hey, PF,
No I am not going to get to go to the game tonight. I am up in Cherokee visiting my parents for a couple of days. But I am hoping to go see them play USCe Friday night.

Once again, an extended absence from HABOTN has forced me to comment on several topics previously discussed.

First things first, some actual scoopage: Jay Jacobs contacted the Athletic Director at UNI for permission to talk to Ben Jacobsen about the AU vacancy. Jacobsen told his AD to tell Jacobs he wasn't interested.

Second, SHSU HC Bob Marlin was a co-worker of mine in his JR College days, when he won an NJCAA national championship. His next stop was Tuscaloosa, where he was part of the coaching staff that got UA on probation (although I'm still convinced that was a setup).

I read the thread pill pockets exchange in the previous thread to my veterinarian wife. She was quite amused. BTW, she says peanut butter is okay for dogs, but it does occasionally cause constipation. There's a joke in there somewhere, but it's time is probably past now.

Finally, there is only one John Cusack movie worth discussing: Grosse Point Blank. A sweet romantic comedy with a high body count. My kind of chick flick.

Baseball destruction continues at Samford:
Auburn 10 Samford 3

Dexter Price gets the win. Nothing special, gave up a lot of hits and only struck out 2, but it worked out, I guess.

Bats were good. Everyone in the lineup got a hit.

Barbee is young enough to become Auburn's version of Rupp if he wins big and sticks around. The Auburn family will support a winner. This Marlin guy serves to give JJ some bball interview experience much like he did with Dooley during the FHC search. Marlin = no chance.

I wish I had taken the advice of Billy Madison and stayed in school as long as I could have.

Really, Tylerson should stay in the condo until he gets kicked out. Maybe get a couple of PhDs or something.

Since I'm not independently wealthy, I suppose having some place to go during the day (when I don't work from home) beats the alternative.

Cincy - happy to do it. Given the timing and how we typically operate with things like this since our Fiscal Year ends this month, he'll likely have already accepted something elsewhere before he'd hear anything from us. But, maybe we could figure into his future. Either way, I'm sure he'll be fine.

From an Associated Press report on the Gumpitizer's web site:

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Police in Connecticut say they had ample warning of a bank robbery because the two suspects called the bank ahead of time and told an employee to get a bag of money ready.

Police arrested 27-year-old Albert Bailey and an unidentified 16-year-old boy on robbery and threatening charges Tuesday afternoon at a People's United Bank branch in Fairfield.

Sgt. James Perez says the two Bridgeport residents showed up about 10 minutes after making the call and were met by police in the parking lot. Perez told the Connecticut Post the suspects were "not too bright."

It's not clear if Bailey and the teen have lawyers.
