Scott M. Brannan said...: 2nd place video substance!; 10:54 AM
michael said...: Words can't even imagine how happy I am to get the first post.; 10:55 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: This was my first run with HD video from my Nikon still camera.

Some good things about it. Some bad. All in all -- underwhelming.; 10:56 AM
War Eagle Girl said...: Thanks for the attempt to become a videographer! Good substance!; 10:57 AM
michael said...: If you pause the video right when Chiz comes on, it looks like he is imagining doing something other than talk about Newton... hehe; 10:58 AM
E-Bro said...: I can't watch the video at work, but I'll assume it is superb.; 11:07 AM
Norm said...: Homer - thanks for the video. Even if you think the gear is underwhelming.

Ehyou - your 10:59 from previous thread was very well played.; 11:11 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Now it's actually HD dimensions, so that's good.; 11:16 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Trial and error = best way to learn.; 11:16 AM
michael said...: Or you can be like me and get everything right the frist time. I mean the first time.; 11:21 AM
digger4au said...: The video looked great for me. I have been without my landline since Saturday night . No big deal since I get most of my calls thru my cellphone. BUT my DSL has been down since last night and this is unacceptable. Got it all fixed and ready to go. It seems to be working better. Cam seems like a smart young man and I think he will do well for Auburn football.; 11:27 AM
Kathy said...: Great video JGT. Thanks for the substance. Gus has gotten nicer!; 11:30 AM
Unknown said...: Practice, mah...not the game.; 11:32 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Scottie,

I remember talking to Sam Rives at Fan day before the 2004 season and he was commenting about he was the only senior not on the poster they gave out to get signed.; 11:40 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: funny. he made up for it at the Sugar Bowl then. he was on the front row walking out of the tunnel when the team was locking arms. i have a 16x20 of that and got it signed by 15 players from the team at a-day.; 11:43 AM
E-Bro said...: Sounds about right.; 11:44 AM
Unknown said...: Man, I am so glad that wasn't Cam Newton's voice at the start of the video. I believe it was Allen Iverson. Any player that isn't serious about practice, shouldn't play, yea even if he is the so called franchise player.

Newton seems to have a different view of Malzahn than I do. It appears he must be an intense geek.

Jay, I loved the video quality. It looked great to me.; 11:50 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i like the new widescreen look JG. thanks.; 11:56 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: I too like the new widescreen video. Nice work Jay G.

As for Cam, he looks and sounds like a leader to me. Hopefully he takes us to the promised land!; 12:38 PM
Ephemeral said...: Thanks, JayG, for the video--looks good on my screen, even in the full screen mode.

I like Cam. He sounds teachable and like he has learned a lot from past mis-steps.; 12:39 PM
CHB said...: Good afternoon, I'm a little late to the party today. Didn't read all of the post, but what was all that talk about ninnies?; 1:12 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: E-Bro got his feelings hurt by Jay G, so I called him a ninny. He mumbled some random comeback, then called me one. I called him a bigger one. It was epic.; 1:18 PM
CHB said...: So it was a ninny fight?; 1:20 PM
WarEagleRK said...: E-Bro,

Did you go to the Alice in Chains show last night here in the Noog? Not sure your musical tastes, but that was a great show.; 1:20 PM
Unknown said...: Is being a ninny becoming an exlusive subset of the hotties? How do I join?; 1:23 PM
E-Bro said...: PF was the one who got his feelings hurt with my ingenious comeback. He tried to mask the pain by being clever. I wasn't buying it.

Chalk another win for the good guys.; 1:24 PM
Unknown said...: By the way, I like that Newton realizes that he is under the microscope on and off the field. If Mike Price had known that, he would have been much better off.; 1:26 PM
E-Bro said...: RK...I missed that. My job doesn't leave a lot of room for mid-week activities unless I'm taking off the next day.

I'm not a massive AiC fan, but I can dig them. A co-worker is going to see them in B'ham this weekend, I think.

Where did they play?; 1:26 PM
E-Bro said...: As for my musical taste, the last few artists to pop up on my iPod as I listen to at work were:

Band of Horses, My Morning Jacket, The Shins, Ryan Adams, and Kings of Leon.; 1:29 PM
WarEagleRK said...: E-bro,

Memorial Auditorium. I went, but I didn't get home until after 11, and getting up at 5:30 this morning wasn't fun.

However it was a great show.; 1:30 PM
Norm said...: Bro - I've never heard of anything you just mentioned.; 1:30 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I'm a big My Morning Jacket fan, I think they were in Atlanta last weekend.

Chattanooga rarely gets good concerts, so I try to get out to them if it's someone I want to see.

Gregg Allman is going to be doing a solo show at the Pavilion by Finley Stadium next month.; 1:31 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: E-Bro,

Do you wear chick jeans?; 1:32 PM
Unknown said...: Late last night I saw some of the Ole Nutt/South Carolina game from last season. At the time Ole Nutt was 4th in the nation. I had forgotten how big the belly flop they had last season was.; 1:32 PM
Unknown said...: I am a big Dr. Hook fan these days. Who's with me?; 1:33 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Quick someone give me an over/under on the number of times Steve says "Ole Nutt" this season?; 1:34 PM
CHB said...: Steve, I'm not sure the ninny club is the one you want to be a part of.; 1:36 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: IMPORTANT ATLANTA BRAVES UPDATE:

in the top of the 4th inning in st. louis, the Braves have scored a run. i repeat, the Braves have scored a run!; 1:36 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i kinda like 'ole nutt'. it makes me giggle inside.; 1:37 PM
Norm said...: I'll take the Over on that number.; 1:37 PM
CHB said...: Did you know that Houston Nutt's brother is named Harry? Not making that up.; 1:37 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Scottie,

I take the over by a wide margin.; 1:38 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I know Houston has a brother named Danny who was the QB at Arkansas in the 80s.; 1:39 PM
E-Bro said...: PF...that's personal.; 1:40 PM
Unknown said...: It is good to see Houston Nutt's parents had a sense of humor.; 1:40 PM
Unknown said...: I will bust no Ole Nutt before it's time.; 1:42 PM
E-Bro said...: RK...you're right about the Noog and concerts. If they ever get an act I absolutely must see, I'll just have to be tired the next day at work.

Saw Dylan and Willie when they came through town a few years back.; 1:44 PM
WarEagleRK said...: E-bro,

In the rain?; 1:45 PM
Jet said...: Giggitah!; 1:47 PM
Unknown said...: A kick butt video.; 1:51 PM
E-Bro said...: RK...yep. Got quite wet. Not the best night for a concert and was a little underwhelmed by the show, but maybe that was just b/c of the misery wrought by the rain.; 1:52 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I stood up Bag unintentionally today. Just got caught up in some other stuff and didn't have my phone with me. Sorry to anyone who was planning to listen ... or listened!; 2:08 PM
digger4au said...: That's the way it goes sometimes JGT
SFC great video enjoyed it.; 2:15 PM
Norm said...: Homer - instead of listening to you and Bags regale us with excellent AU talk along with what I'm sure would have been a litany of other fine topics, we got to hear about oil spills. Thanks.; 2:36 PM
CHB said...: I just read a blog post on the CBS sports page that said the local reports in KC say that MU is headed to the Big 12 and it could be announced as early as this afternoon.; 2:45 PM
E-Bro said...: And so it begins.; 2:50 PM
CHB said...: I'm ready for the fun to begin. I'm not against expansion.

Any see the 2010 US News and World Reports college rankings? Auburn is tied for 39th. They are the 3rd rated SEC school. This is for public universities only. I think that is pretty good. It seems each year they slowly creep up. I think in part because of the higher standards to get in. Does anyone know the current ACT/SAT score requirements?; 2:54 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'll be on with Bag tomorrow afternoon for a good while. In studio.; 2:55 PM
E-Bro said...: I've gone on HABOTN record many times already saying I'm against expansion. It will remain thus until the (no doubt) bitter end.; 3:01 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I see a cold war style arms race ahead of us between the SEC and Big __; 3:05 PM
Jet said...: CH=B ... To get in AU, north of 25 on ACT is preferred.; 3:05 PM
Norm said...: Hypothetical - The Big 12 and the SEC each expand to 16 teams. Does this in any way aid in the argument in favor of a playoff system for a championship? Discuss.; 3:06 PM
Unknown said...: I don't think expansion works as well for the SEC as it will for the Big 10+1. The Big Ten Network will benefit from more schools in the conference. The SEC won't see that benefit with the ESPN deal.; 3:08 PM
API said...: Oil spill talk was enlightening. Who knew that BP will be bankrupt in a year and re-form at PB?; 3:08 PM
Unknown said...: Norm, I think the super conferences would simplify a playoff system. If you don't win your conference championship game, you aren't in the playoff.; 3:09 PM
Unknown said...: I had recently been considering buying BP stock. The time may be becoming right.; 3:10 PM
CHB said...: I hope for the environment that they get that oil cleaned up. Also on the selfish side....I'm going to Orange Beach for Memorial Day.; 3:21 PM
Denny Crum said...: This reminds me of my days at the University of Louisville when I signed DaJuan Wheat. Keith Legree went to play minor league baseball immediately.; 3:22 PM
Denny Crum said...: I tell you what, since I have been doing my radio gig up here Joe B. Hall, and we have gotten more and more involved with promotions and so forth, it has been hard to post like I used to. I am upset to see that I have been removed from the Ring of Fire. Very disappointing.; 3:23 PM
Kathy said...: Grass is cut. Weedeating complete. Off to get the hair touched up in honor of Tiger Prowl! Any Hotties attending today in the greater Madison area, I'll be the lady with the bright red, short hair!!! Maybe we can get a Hottie group shot with Trooper!

Hottie Ho!!!; 3:27 PM
Jet said...: Denny ...

Welcome back. Don't be a stranger.; 3:34 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Post once every few years, Denny.

Alternatively, you can answer Facebook messages every six months or so, too, if you're interested.; 3:35 PM
Norm said...: OH SNAP!

Nice to see you back Denny.; 3:37 PM
Denny Crum said...: Ouch. Jay G, I am hurt. I am up here in Lexington missing you so much and your insightful views and this is what I get. I tell you what, I love the abuse. I miss you all so much.; 3:37 PM
Denny Crum said...: I promise to do better.; 3:38 PM
Denny Crum said...: Speaking of disappointment, how about UK football.; 3:39 PM
michael said...: Denny Crum! Our local celeb is back!; 3:39 PM
Denny Crum said...: UK wonders why no one is interested in their football program. Most High Schools put more into a spring scrimmage and the media production than they did.

And while we are on it, this Coach Cal and the one and done recruiting is a travesty. I don't know which is worse, the one and done recruiting or the kool aid drinkers in Lexington who think that this is somehow good for college athletics and this is the way to long term success.

And I like the decision with Cam Newton. Great choice.

How about Ben Tate? What a guy. I am so proud for him.; 3:45 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: MU to the Big 12 is a confusing statement for me.; 3:46 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Funny that I send you a Facebook message, never hear back ... and you're the one who's hurt.; 3:50 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I think that MU-Big 12 stuff is bogus, false, premature, etc.; 3:51 PM
Denny Crum said...: I am sorry Jay G. I truly am. I was trying to get things squared away in my new crib and job location. No excuse. I thought I did send something back. Perhaps I didn't.; 3:53 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Denny Crum, the second most famous poster on the HABOTN.

The most famous is of course me.; 3:56 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Oh, so when CH=B says the "MU [is] headed to the Big 12", he really means that someone is reporting that they're leaving the Big 12 and going to the Big 10 (11-16).; 3:57 PM
Unknown said...: Denny, you have not been removed from the Ring of Honor. You have just moved into a special section located in a mason jar burried in Jay's back yard. Few others have received that honor.; 4:04 PM
Unknown said...: PF, I assumed by Big 12 he meant Big 10 + 1 + 1, not to be confused with the Big 12.; 4:05 PM
Unknown said...: The Big 10 really needs to change their name for clarity. I like the Uber 11. It would really clear things up.; 4:07 PM
CHB said...: Sorry for the confusion, I think you all figured it out though.; 4:08 PM
ehyou said...: Great, now the validity of all blog posters will be questioned.; 4:08 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I question Denny Crum's commitment to puppet hour.; 4:27 PM
ehyou said...: [kicks blog laying on ground]
Well, I reckon I killt it.; 4:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: too depressed over missing a BEASLEY!!! opportunity to post, so pretend this isn't one.

Back to work :-(; 4:32 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: One thing I don't question is THT's devotion to Beasley.; 4:34 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wake - I had the great fortune of seeing him play and there's just not been anyone else like him. At least that's the way I remember it.; 4:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: oh rats, you tricked me into posting!; 4:37 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Does everyone have everything they need for Mint Julips this weekend?; 4:51 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: If not, here's what you need; 4:57 PM
Unknown said...: THT, there is no doubt that Beasley was a great one and a large reason that Pat Sullivan won the Heisman. Beasley had legendary toughness. Although I was very young at the time, I believe in one Iron Bowl he received a concussion in the first half. Did he quit? Heck no. He walked it off and came back and kicked Bama butt in the second half. Beasley was a man and one of the tougher players I remember.; 5:14 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Wait, you were very young when Beasley was playing? So, you're barely old enough to be my dad? Geez.; 5:24 PM
Unknown said...: PF, I was under the assumption you were in your early 20s. I have kids older than that.; 5:41 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: No.; 5:42 PM
Unknown said...: Conference expansion is evil, but I'd love to get Georgia Tech back in the conference. We lost a great rivalry there.; 5:43 PM
Unknown said...: I agree Nova. Georgia Tech is on my wish list.

I would also like to complement the Chiz on his use of hands while talking. There is some skill there. He is a few finger movements away from sign language.; 5:48 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: If we went to 16 teams, I would want GT, Clemson, Texas and FSU.

That being said, I'd rather no one expand past 12 teams.; 6:06 PM
E-Bro said...: Can I get an Amen-a!?

(Regarding Wake's post); 6:11 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Something just reminded me of my wife's idiot uncle trying to convince a couple of us that our single button peak lapel tuxedos were not at traditional as his rounded lapel piece that went out of style almost as soon as rap stars and athletes brought them in in the 90s, and would be going out of style soon. I had not enough to drink yet to handle it properly, so I walked away.; 6:20 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: If we went to 16 teams, we would be two conferences in less than 5 years.

What's the point in that? (rhetorical, as there is no point); 6:23 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I don't know what you just said, but if rap stars wear something, it should be avoided; 6:24 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: The point is that semi-relevant old dudes feel the need to do something major that will leave their mark. They just can't help trying to fix something that's not broken.; 6:27 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Wake,

Basically, I chose my tux because I didn't want to buy a new one every couple of years. Stupid uncle guy bought his when it was trendy (or more likely, after it was trendy, and on a sales rack). Mine was traditional and timeless, and he tried to convvince us otherwise in hopes that we wouldn't notice how stupid he looked.; 6:30 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I find it highly unlikely I will ever buy a tux. If I plan things out right, I won't ever wear one again.; 6:44 PM
Miller said...: You people misunderstood my hypothetical the other day regarding expansion....

I prefer to stay at 12... if we want to strengthen the SEC, there are ways of doing so and stay at 12 teams.

IF other conferences decide to expand beyond 12, I believe the SEC will do so accordingly, and further strengthen its hold as the supreme conference.

My feeling is that if Mizzou heads off to the Big 10+ then The Big12- may come after Arkansas... which is perfectly fine with me...
Georgraphically, I think adding Clemson, GT, F$U to the SEC would be good competetively.

BUT, the point to expanding beyond 12 for other conferences is to increase the almighty $, increase the footprint, spread out, bring in new markets.
IF that happens, then adding Clemson, GT, or F$U does zip, nada, zero for expanding the footpring, adding revenue, adding new markets for the SEC... we're already in those markets.; 6:53 PM
Miller said...: There is an extra 'r' in geographically... please ignore it..; 6:56 PM
digger4au said...: No expansion "period" if other conferences feel it necessary let them go for it. The only change I would make is swap South Carolina for Ga. Tech. And that probably won't happen.
Why in the world would you want to mess up a great thing just becasue someone else feels the need to try someway to catch up with the SEC.; 7:04 PM
wtc said...: Was watching a college football show on ESPN2 that comes on each night about 6:00pm CST. They have Robert Smith and Bob Davie as two of the guest and some ESPN guy as the host.

Davie thinks Colorado goes to the PAC-10 and Smith thinks Mizzou goes to the Big 10.

They did say the Big 12 does not split the bowl money up evenly and Colorado was not real happy with it; 7:11 PM
wtc said...: Did anyone else see that show. At times they were scrolling a top 25 ranking across the bottom and I missed it several times. it was not the final ranking, as they had UGA at #23. It seemed each time I saw it I was catching just the final 8 or so positions. is there an early poll out that is not some guy just posting what he thinks. This one looked like it was an ESPN poll for the 2010 season.; 7:14 PM
digger4au said...: I did not see that show wtc but I saw one earlier that I am not sure who's it was but Ala was 1 Ohio State 2 Fla 3. I don't remember the rest but Auburn was not in the top 25 because i watched for them.; 7:28 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Messed Up beyond belief; 7:30 PM
Michael Seale said...: wtc,
College football live did a poll themselves based on their experts a couple weeks back, they've been showing that one since; 7:35 PM
wtc said...: Digger-thanks. I did see that AU was not in the bottom 8. I figured AU was not in the top 17.; 7:36 PM
ehyou said...: wake...
I wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to click those blue words.; 8:00 PM
Norm said...: To say that was disturbing is all I can think of to say but that's just so inadequate for that. I wish I hadn't seen that.; 8:06 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Why are you guys so against love.

I was trying to guess which state these two fine upstanding people were from. It looks like its New England.; 8:07 PM
CHB said...: They look like walmartians. I am truly sick to my stomach now. Thanks Wake; 8:08 PM
CHB said...: Any Huntsville Hotties have details on Tiger Prowl?; 8:11 PM
Norm said...: Wake - I think it's the State of Just Plain Wrong.; 8:13 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: New Zealand not New England... wow its time for some sleep.; 8:14 PM
CHB said...: Anyone else find the Etrade commercials with the baby hilarious?; 8:16 PM
E-Bro said...: Earlier today, Saban said about facing all these opponents coming off a bye week, the one that concerned him most was against us b/c it's a shorter week being on a Friday.

I would gladly give up the that bye week if we could move it elsewhere in the season.; 8:16 PM
CHB said...: $aban is a crybaby.; 8:21 PM
Kathy said...: Just back from Tiger Prowl. A beautiful day for a great get together with the Auburn family. Coaches that attended were Luper, Trooper, Thigpen, Lolley, Grimes, Matlock, and Fortner. Coach Fortner is a great speaker. She told some great stories about the change in Auburn after these football coaches arrived. She also talked about cooking pancakes for the coaches. You can tell she has a great relationship with all the coaches. Of course, Luper was Luper, and Trooper was Trooper. Quite entertaining. Great crowd. I didn't meet any other Hotties.; 8:24 PM
Kathy said...: They also talked about our new QB! They said Coach Fortner helped in his recruitment. When he took Cam to the arena when he visited Auburn in December, Coach Fortner stopped practice so the girls could meet him. Cam was very impressed that she stopped practice for him. Coach Fortner interjected her story. She wanted to know if we had seen Cam. She said she had 18-21 yr old girls. When Cam walked in, she said she had no choice but to stop practice! But she said she was happy she could help the football coaches!; 8:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Outstanding report, Kathy. Thanks!!! That would have been so much fun.

Two quickies and Sharks up 2-0. Go West coast teams!; 8:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: jumping jackrabbits

Sharks 3 goals in 79 seconds.; 8:33 PM
Kathy said...: Coach Madlock recruited Josh Langford and wanted to come back up here to visit him, which he did. He promised this would not be the last recruit they get from this area.; 8:42 PM
ehyou said...: Thanks for the report Kathy! It sounds like we have some quality folks in our coaching ranks.; 8:55 PM
Kathy said...: I was very impressed with all the coaches. They were all very approachable. They all talked about "family". It was a lot of fun. There were a lot of kids there. And the TV media were there which really surprised me. It didn't get much advertisement during the week.; 9:02 PM
Kathy said...: A cop told me a joke while we were waiting. What is the one thing that UA fans and AU fans have in common? Neither went to UA!; 9:06 PM
Unknown said...: "Good morning, but I digress" is the funniest thing ever. Everything else pales in comparison.; 9:07 PM
Unknown said...: Oh, I like the neither went to UA thang. That ain't bad.; 9:08 PM
Miller said...: Good joke Kathy... I may have to steal that one...; 9:35 PM
Seanzie said...: Sweetwater Road Trip is a good brew.; 9:42 PM
Jet said...: Let me get this straight ... Saban is whining about our bye week before the Iron Bowl.

UAT is playing GEORGIA STATE, which has yet to play its first game. The Cousin Humpers could play their third teamers and win comfortably. After all, we heard repeatedly last year that UAT was working on Florida the week of the Auburn game.

If Saban or Mal Moore or Mike Slive calls Jay Jacobs and asks him to consider changing the schedule, I hope he responds, "Guess how many fingers I'm holding up."

Then hang up.; 10:01 PM
E-Bro said...: Yeah, welcome to the deranged psyche of Nick Saban.

Still, I would love for us to move that bye week at some point so that we're not always playing eleven straight games.; 10:44 PM
Secondaid said...: Or at least move Homecoming to the first half of October instead of the beginning of November. We really lost steam in October last year- we could have used a week to rest the starters a bit.; 11:03 PM
chip chip said...: jet, i would hope chiz would do $aban the courtesy of speaking to him about his concerns with scheduling.

chiz should then hand the phone to trooper or luper and say in the background, "would you talk some sense into this f------g a-----e?"; 11:51 PM
wellsAU said...: flaking acetate?; 2:43 AM
wellsAU said...: Furthermore, my mother informed me today that I should not be looking forward to Gulf shrimp/seafood much this summer.

The spill reached LA's coast this afternoon.; 2:48 AM
E-Bro said...: TGIF Hotties. Looking forward to a shorter day of work today and maybe a Lookouts game tonight.

Work Hark Work on three.

1, 2, 3.

WORK HARD WORK!!; 5:47 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Look at Cam. I'm coaching 18-21 yr old girls. I had no choice but to stop practice.....

That is great stuff.; 6:01 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Monday report deadlines make Friday (and usually Sunday) extra sucky. Stupid lawyers.; 6:02 AM
CHB said...: Morning all. This oil spill is really getting on my nerves. Not only is it harmful to wildlife and possibly devastating to the coastal economy, but it is ruining my chances of a Memorial Day beach vacation. I have so been looking forward to that vacation.; 6:36 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Just go to another beach?; 6:46 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Finally got to watch the video Jay G, looks nice.; 7:26 AM
ehyou said...: I feel like Chip Diller, screaming amidst pandemonium....

Remain Calm!
All is well!
The Braves and Hawks will be just fine!; 7:38 AM
chip chip said...: my boss knows how to make every day sucky. even saturdays. he has rare talent.; 8:42 AM
chip chip said...: the class action against BP from every business that fails directly because of the oil spill is going to be interesting. the oil spill will probably be in the court system 30 years. hopefully when BP is faced with the possibility of losing their US market they will do the right thing.; 8:47 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: morning hotties. fired up to work a double today. yippee! get some uncle sam! get some!; 8:50 AM
API said...: Article posted in the Athens GA newspaper stating that the NCAA has limited the number of coaches to visit a high school simultaneously. They specifically mention stretch Hummers, limos, and extravagant buses.

http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/043010/foo_628361984.shtml; 8:53 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: nice find API.

they're scared. very scared. go chiz & co!; 9:00 AM
ehyou said...: Link to article

Your address didn't work API, hope you don't mind if I link it. Seems pretty relevant to us.; 9:01 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i think they should still take the caravans to each of these towns. they can always park at a mall or something & then the coaches can go to the schools in pimped out Escalades instead of limos. :); 9:03 AM
ehyou said...: "institutions are unnecessarily expending resources in order to have multiple assistant coaches attend..."

Evidently it is now the NCAA's responsibility to determine how athletic programs spend their money.; 9:04 AM
mytommyd said...: I had to contact Snopes.com about that grandma/grandson thing. No way that can be real.; 9:07 AM
ehyou said...: That's a good idea MYTD. I tend to agree with you.; 9:11 AM
Jet said...: So, now there's an Auburn Rule.

Now, that's making progress.; 9:16 AM
Anonymous said...: So now we have a Chizik Rule.

Lil Nicky predictably got real upset and verbal about the Saban Rule. I'm betting Chizik has no comment.; 9:16 AM
mytommyd said...: Ehyou did that "anti Tiger Prowl with limos and hummers " article mention anything about helicopters?; 9:17 AM
Anonymous said...: Apparently Carver-Columbus had 3 "entourages" visit the school this week. I can see where this could be disruptive to the HS. I could care less that the Big LEast whines about schools spend excessively.; 9:19 AM
wtc said...: Interesting article. What did Luper say in Montgomery? 'Have you ever seen a dog bark at a parked car?'

Let them shout all they want. The limo, hummer, etc. never went to Ark, MS, SC, LA did it? Why did AU get top players from those states? Hard Work, that's why.; 9:21 AM
CHB said...: Great point WTC. Here is a way around that rule. Take the fancy bus to the city. Then break up the coaches into smaller groups. Have each group make the rounds to every school that the larger group was going to hit. Does this really cost that much more than each coach out on his own at the same time?

PF..going to a different beach isn't really an option since the oil is expected to affect a large area. Plus we have a free condo to stay in if we go to Orange Beach.; 9:57 AM

CHB said...: No where in the article did it say they can't use the buses and limos. Just can't have more than two coaches from the same college visit a high school in one day. Why does the Big East care what the SEC does. They can compete regardless. A comment on the article made a good point. These coaches can't talk to the specific recruits so what's the harm?; 10:05 AM
CHB said...: Where is everyone today?

G or anyone else who may know, help me with a couple questions about the new "Chizik Rule".

1. I have read more than one article on it and have not seen where the rule states you can't use limos of buses. Those two things have been mentioned in the article but not when the specific rule is stated.

2. If I am reading the rule correctly it states there can't be more than 2 coaches recruiting a player at his school at the same time. Correct me if I am wrong but they are not allowed to contact the players so therefore are they really recruiting?; 10:38 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: CH=B,

Depends, actually. It might significantly affect any beaches we care about at all...there's always Myrtle Beach/Charleston/Savannah/Jacksonville. I don't think the oil spill will affect those beaches. At least Memorial Day.

Anyone who can't make it to the beach on a three day weekend is a ninny.; 10:43 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: CH=B,

Those very similar consecutive posts are very SteveFCian.; 10:44 AM
CHB said...: PF, maybe you didn't understand my post about the beach. WE HAVE A FREE CONDO TO STAY IN. That's pretty significant. Plus we are very fond of Orange Beach and it's not just me. I have a wife, daughter then the in-laws and some other family planned on going. So it's not that easy to just change plans.; 10:50 AM
CHB said...: Oh and never say I am being Steveish again.; 10:51 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I got that part, I just didn't find it significant to your ninnydom.; 10:52 AM
CHB said...: You are not making sense, but what's new. I was making it to the beach, but the beach I was making it to might not be worth going to.; 10:53 AM
CHB said...: ninnydom=good one; 10:54 AM
CHB said...: Simmer Down Now; 10:55 AM

ehyou said...: Peter always makes sense to me....always.; 10:56 AM
CHB said...: ehyou, do I sense sarcasm?; 10:57 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I look forward to the Luper Lupehole. NCAA can't stop the Tiger Prowl!; 11:03 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Former San Antonio neighbors, who moved to "Milton County" right before we left Cobb, are arriving this afternoon and spending the night. They are super nice folk but they aren't into hockey.

Penguins vs Habs at 7.

Hottie suggestions?; 11:08 AM
mytommyd said...: So why is it again that the NCAA doesn't want the coaches to go to the beach in a limo?; 11:09 AM
Norm said...: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.; 11:10 AM
Norm said...: CHB = we'd been contemplating a quick beach trip too in that same timeframe. I believe our plans will likely change significantly. I blame Al Gore. Oh, and SteveFC just because I feel like it.; 11:12 AM
ehyou said...: THT...
Here's your answer.

I like the guy wearing it while biking.; 11:22 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou - that would look just a bit odd at the dinner table. Maybe I'll just tell them I have more pressing matters to attend to in the basement and that I'll see them in the off-season. Oops, I mean in the morning.; 11:39 AM
CHB said...: THT, get a DVR to record it. Then after they go to bed you can watch it.; 11:44 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: CH=B - that's what I'll do, but I probably won't watch it. I'm not a fan of non-live sporting events, unless it's old AU Iron Bowl wins.; 11:48 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i was lmao watching the trailer for that thing. hilarious.; 11:49 AM
Norm said...: Buncha slackers; 11:50 AM
Norm said...: I'll do it.; 11:50 AM
Norm said...: Boom!; 11:50 AM
