  1. I love the kids playing on the berm in the lightning.

  2. What I meant to say is that parenting is over-rated.

    ReplyDelete
  3. The weather had cleared by then.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Go rain-soaked Tigers!!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. PF - believe me, my parenting was never overrated. Just ask 2.0.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I'm going to eat my chee-tohs now, instead of the 5th inning.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hey mane, tweet the final score this time please. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  8. I've always been of the impression that if lightning can be seen, the storm is close enough. I see kids and lightning in yours and the Bammham News dude's pics, I think.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Game On!!! Go Tigers!!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Way to go!!! If you are going to hit the batter, at least make him limp for the base.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Go coach Paws!!! Get that pitcher's attention.

    ReplyDelete
  12. assuming no rain delays Sat, what time will AU play?

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's raining ... though not too aggressively.

    ReplyDelete
  14. If you can see it... it can see you.

  16. Is it ok to wear khaki shorts and a button up to a high school graduation?

    ReplyDelete
  17. 25 pitches that inning.

    ReplyDelete
  18. KP with the lowest batting avg in the lineup.... and that's only cause he hit .097 against lefties...

    ReplyDelete
  19. ugh. BuyMore packed with customers now. The manager tells me I've got to work one of the registers.

    I'll check in later.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I don't think Cole Nelson is going to last long in this one.

    ReplyDelete
  21. This isn't looking good at all.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Someone needs to show Nelson where the bus is.

    ReplyDelete
  23. They need to change pitchers before this gets really, really ugly.

    ReplyDelete
  24. New pitcher needed. I agree.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I've given my opinion on Cole already. He should be breaking hearts out of the bullpen after Slade Smith pitches 4-5. Paws isn't paid to listen to my opinion, though.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Auburn scores one.

    Creede Simpson triple.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Cole will not last much longer

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hard to watch this team struggle at the plate. 3 games in and they are still not hitting well at all.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Poor defense doesn't help.

    ReplyDelete
  30. AU looks disinterested in this game...

    ReplyDelete
  31. He is not fooling anyone out there. Pull him.
    Not hitting, poor defense and suspect pitching is a recipe to get sent home today.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Why haven't we changed pitchers yet?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Odd relay from RF there.

    Hargett takes the throw and makes a tag at second. One problem: No runner was at second.

    Poor communication.

    ReplyDelete
  34. 71 pitches so far for Nelson.

    2 2/3 innings.

    ReplyDelete
  35. UA pitcher was 45 pitches headed to the 6th. Cole is over 55 in the 3rd. he will be @ 100 by the 4th if he stays in.

    ReplyDelete
  36. The OM pitcher has an ERA of 8+ and instead of playing small ball and getting some hits, our guys a re pressing already and are making him look like Nolan Ryan. Even the announcers are saying he looks great and wondering why he is 1-5 with an 8.74 ERA.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Anyone know what AU average for the tourney is so far?

    How many KO?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Subs are providing the power. so far on the tourney.

    Caldwell today and Simpson yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Those aren't your typical bench guys. Both have seea good bit. Of the field this year.

    ReplyDelete
  40. The OM pitcher is just about finished.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Their pitcher ain't gonna make it much longer.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'll take that as validation of my statement.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love having Bo in our commercial, but it just doesn't have the same production value as UA's. How much did they spend on that thing I wonder...?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Why is Nelson still in?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yeah. 85 pitches.

    Surprised he made it this long.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Tate live blogging, posting, and tweeting. Triple Crown winner amongst the beat hacks.

    "1 run, 1 hit, 1 LOB"
    more like 2 hits, one by each team in top of 4th. Ole Miss is going to be bruised after this game.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Ole Miss has put its leadoff guy on base during each of the first five innings.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think I should quit paying attn to AU baseball. They were scoring a trillion runs when I didn't pay them no mind.



    back to work at the BuyMore service counter.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Let's here it for Ole Miss. They brought a little stoopid back into the game.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Or perhaps they just saw our error and felt they had to answer.

    ReplyDelete
  51. We may just score enough runs to overcome our otherwise very poor play.

    Come on Auburn!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Rod Bramblett never returned my earlier e-mail. Come on dude, it's not like you're on vacation, you're at work!

    Are you close enough to smack him in the head Mr Tate?

    Do you know what the difference is between the Big Eleven Network and the SEC ESPN deal is?

    I could see the Big Ten tournament if I wanted to but all I have is this blog for the SEC until the championship game.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Have you tried ESPN3 Nova?

    ReplyDelete
  55. The biggest difference is I have no interest in watching the big11-1

    ReplyDelete
  56. Nevermind

    "THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO LIVE EVENTS."

    ReplyDelete
  57. The Big 10 does have the better TV deal.

    ReplyDelete
  58. 5 friggin' errors.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Anonymous7:16 PM

    It appears that Verizon finally picked up ESPN3 but it also appears they're not showing this game.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Anonymous7:16 PM

    Maybe it's for the best. I don't think I want to see.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I am back from the ChocoScott sabbatical.

    What did I miss?

    Just kidding. I was watching.

    ReplyDelete
  62. This game is awful. AU might need for it to end an get some rest for next week.

    ReplyDelete
  63. errors errors errors. argh.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Oh my goodness!!!

    Yes, yes, yes!!!

    ReplyDelete
  65. ehyou... need details. no satelite, no espn3. no nuthin.

    ReplyDelete
  66. :) helps to refresh page... DONG.

    ReplyDelete
  67. That's a MULTIPLE-RUN DONG.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Hunter Morris is my hero. War Eagle.

    ReplyDelete
  69. It's a new ball game folks.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Since the game is so late, I can watch on FoxSportsSouth!!! I too am in love with Hunter Morris!!

    Can we please make no more errors?!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Ole Miss reliever Matt Crouse's line before barking at the home-plate ump:

    4 IP, 1 hit, 0 runs

    Two batters later:

    4 IP, 3 hits, 3 runs

    ReplyDelete
  72. In HD you can read alot of the mouths of the coaches and the umpire. Crouse was like yes sir.

    ReplyDelete
  73. That'll teach Crouse to keep his trap shut.

    ReplyDelete
  74. The potential for more significant rain exists.

    ReplyDelete
  75. ok... 1 more run for AU, then all the rain you can handle.

    ReplyDelete
  76. The worst weather is over infidel city

    ReplyDelete
  77. 1 for 2, better avg than the baseballers.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Can a tourney game be called after a certain point in the event of a lengthy rain delay?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Whoaaaaa, we're halfway there.....

    ReplyDelete
  80. (If one team is ahead, of course)

    ReplyDelete
  81. This has been a fun game to watch.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Ole Miss pitcher really choked, though.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Thanks, Jay. At least someone got to watch it. I wouldn't say the blog/twitter have been as much fun to watch, but at least it's been informative and entertaining to read.

    ReplyDelete
  84. We're about to start getting to these guys from deep in the OM pen.

    ReplyDelete
  85. This ball game is wearing me out!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Perfectly executed double play

    ReplyDelete
  87. ok Tigers... let's do this.

    ReplyDelete
  88. lowcountry...
    FYI it was a total fluke double play. It bounced off the 2B to the SS on 2nd.

    ReplyDelete
  89. as Milo Hamilton used to say, "It's time to go get 'em Braves"

    ReplyDelete
  90. with the number of errors we've had this game... I'll take one that actually bounced our way. 4-6-3 = 4-6-3. (but thanks for the clarification).

    ReplyDelete
  91. I must say that I'm actually looking forward to watching the replay when I get a chance... it's not good baseball, but it's entertaining.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Shouldn't we win the tie breaker here? I mean the runs and hits are the same, but we have more errors.

    ReplyDelete
  93. It's not THAT entertaining.

    ReplyDelete
  94. ehyou --i didn't even realize we had our turn yet :-(

    ReplyDelete
  95. Whoever wins this game is gonna be hurtin' for certain in the bullpen dept tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  96. ehyou..that's what I am worried about and a 9:30 start

    ReplyDelete
  97. yeah... I always want to win, but it might be better on the pitching staff to have an extra day off after this one.

    ReplyDelete
  98. My dad's a MSU grad. I extra hate Ole Miss.

    ReplyDelete
  99. We gotta win. Come on.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Yikes!!!! Guess we might not have to worry about that 9:30 start.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Simpson thought he had a play on that homer. I guess not.

    ReplyDelete
  102. You couldn't help yourself, could you?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Guess I might make to a regional game.

    ReplyDelete
  104. a little DONG'll do it. well... at least tie it.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Well crap. OM played better. What do you expect?

    ReplyDelete
  106. wait... did I say that out loud?

    ReplyDelete
  107. night all. thanks again JGT for live-blogging, posting, and tweeting this one... dangit.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Always GREAT to be an Auburn Tiger!

    Good night all!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Why would Gilmer come to bat for the first time and swing on the first pitch.

    ReplyDelete
  110. This team played badly tonight. Jump on me if wish but they did not deserve to win this game.
    They had about 4 wild pitches, a couple passed balls, and 5 errors. Horrible play.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Sad but true words wtc.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Add 3 hit by pitch from our guys.
    They actually looked over matched in every game to me.

    ReplyDelete
  113. wtc: Pawlowski said the same thing.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Hey, considering the previous 5 Auburn teams got to see the tournament from the stands, these guys did well. They have improved, and that is all you can really hope for. Next year, hopefully we will be even better.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Bravos up 7-1....we got that going for us.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Some positives to take away:

    5 errors and you were still in it until the HR in the 10th.
    Several of the deep fly balls at Hoover would have been out of the park in AU. so if they host, that is a good thing.
    We have a few days to get healed up from injuries.
    Maybe the nerves are gone and AU will not be pressing so hard in the next tourney.

    That is all I have. Would also say it would be tough to beat LSU 2 games Saturday anyway. Not a reason to accept a loss, just sayin' it would be awful tough to come from the loser's bracket to win this tourney.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Jayg-Thanks for the posts from Hoover. Great job as usual. HABOTN group is very spoiled as we get more than we should expect from this thing.
    I always thong how well the MA blog for UA is doing these days and then am more than thankful for your efforts.

    ReplyDelete
  118. wtc, you must stop thonging in public.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Thanks for the kind words, fellas.

    I'm headed home to Le Gump. Y'all behave.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Having a program that finishes words for you sucks sometimes. I like the DROID but my fingers do not like the small touch screen keypad.

    ReplyDelete
  121. home to the Gump? Not making a beeline to BCW? I'm hurt ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  122. If you start to miss me, remember, i didnt walk away, you let me go...

    Group Tyrik Rollison joined on Facebook.

    Kinda funny if you ask me.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Lendale White was cut by the Seahawks, maybe he can go back to play for USC again, they still let professionals play there right?

    ReplyDelete
  124. 98 days til kickoff!

    GO TIGERS!!!

    WARRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!

    ReplyDelete
  125. FOOTBALL

    We've yet to discuss the potential trap coach Chiz may be walking into this fall. The bowl game win made our record much more respectable and have raised expectations for this year. Of course we've done well in recruiting, but it's not if the rest of the conference will be taking this season off.

    We beat the state of Mississippi last year and also beat Tennessee at their place. That is the sum of our conference victories. Throw in a win against WVU and bowl game and that is the grand sum of our quality wins last year. Everybody will be expecting a much better conference record this year. We have imbalances to address against LSU, Arky, and UGA. What about bamer you say? No imbalance there. I’ll worry about them and the other mid majors on our schedule the week we play em.

    The general mood is that football is on the upswing, baseball is on the upswing, and basketball is on the upswing. With a long summer to contemplate our impending greatness and the countdown clock to kick already started, expectations will be significantly higher. If we struggle with Arky St, and stumble to Miss State, many fans will be dusting off the panic button and place it in test mode. We’re Auburn, we don’t want to lose to anybody, but LSU, Arky and UGA are moving into must win territory. Here’s to hoping that colleges across the land will come to Gus begging him to be their savior for 2011. Until then, I think we’re going to still need a dose of good fortune to get us thru the season.

    ReplyDelete
  126. so did AU tell all the beat hacks to stay away from BCW in an effort to avoid secondary infractions associated with publicizing stuff?

    which Hotties do we have reporting from the Loveliest Village today?

    ReplyDelete
  127. Did not play well enogh to win
    so
    didn't
    As someone(s) said earlier it may be a blessing in disguise. Get some rest and heal then go for Omaha.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I'm very disappointed in the pitiful showing from the baseball team this week. They didn't seem to take it seriously. Defense was horrendous, bats were left at home, and I don't recall a team that had worse baserunning skills.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Robert Goff says it's time to talk football.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Apparently the USA soccer team's defenders are D'Antoine Hood, Zac Etheridge, Anthony Gulley Morgan and Mike McNeil.

    ReplyDelete
  131. they need to use their hands.

    ReplyDelete
  132. THT, what would you like for me to report? What they ate for dinner? What they're wearing?

    We can't cover a recruiting visit. I'll talk to them when they leave ... just like EVERY OTHER TIME prospects are on campus.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Gus is an interesting topic.

    I like the guy a lot, and I think his future is bright. But even if we smash the record books this season, I question what kinds of jobs will come his way in 2011.

    We keep forgetting that he's been a college coach for four seasons -- the first of which he didn't have full control of the offense.

    Gus seems to be patient to wait for a big job -- he surely could have had Memphis or Louisiana Tech this year.

    Is he waiting for a Big 12 or an SEC job? Which of those schools are prepared to hand the keys to a guy who was at Springdale High School in 2005? Chizik is the poster child for making the wrong leap. I wonder if that has an effect on his plans. Or is he just waiting on Petrino to leave?

    ReplyDelete
  134. JGT - I'd rather hear from local Hotties who may have seen the festivities. This event doesn't warrant "official" coverage. These kids are still 11th graders.

    ReplyDelete
  135. THT...
    OL from Thib---- (however you spell it), LA is on campus. He's a team mate of Trovon Reed. Reed is also here, by the way.

    UAT commits Lamichael Fanning and Brent Calloway are in town. Brother of UAT signee Demarcus Milliner (Pat) is also in town.

    RB's Mike Blakely, Dee Hart, Rodney Coe, Jovarius 'Buck' Allen, and Isaiah Crowell are all in town.

    Others of note:
    Frazier, A Flroence, Keymiya Harrell, Joe Morrow, Ray Drew, Wattz Dantzler, Mitch Smothers, Jermaine Whitehead (MSU commit), Jonathon Rose, Chris Jones, Gabe Wright, Landrum, Swain...
    Of course there are many others.... that's a sample of some of the intriguing names to me off the bat.
    Some of last year's signees are also in town, including Dyer and Mosely

    ReplyDelete
  136. so did AU tell all the beat hacks to stay away from BCW in an effort to avoid secondary infractions associated with publicizing stuff?

    ReplyDelete
  137. JGT - I wasn't surprised you weren't there. Just surprised the al.com crew aren't there... or aren't posting any reports, at least.

    Miller - why/how did we let another AU High player (LaFanning) commit out of town?

    ReplyDelete
  138. I left the Michael out of LaFanning

    ReplyDelete
  139. OK. To clarify.

    BCW is in progress. We cannot cover it while it is in progress.

    I will be there when conditions merit.

    ReplyDelete
  140. THT, to me is seems like the local guys could be hard to land. You've lived your whole life in a small town, do you want to go to college in that same small town? Where you could end up running into your Vacation Bible School teacher form 4th grade when you are out partying? Or do you want to go to a new town that is totally different, and allows you to run around without running into family friends and people like that?

    ReplyDelete
  141. I'm with Wake on this one.

    I'm all for staying close to home ... but I personally am against staying home.

    ReplyDelete
  142. This coming from a kid who traveled 600 miles to attend college, though.

    ReplyDelete
  143. I went 500 miles to attend college, but only because I didn't go to Auburn High.

    ReplyDelete
  144. I agree... sometimes there is a such thing as "too close".
    Fanning has a lot of raw upside... but, no one knows exactly what position he'll be in college, or if his work ethic warrants the hype... he was a 3rd down specialist last year for AU high.... Just how good is he?
    I trust the coaches know what they are doing with their evaluations.

    ReplyDelete
  145. wake - can't say I blame him for wanting to get away from home. But there were a lot better options, at least as viewed through these sunglasses I got from Cincy.

    ReplyDelete
  146. No argument there THT.

    I traveled 500 miles to go to Auburn, then ended up graduating from USF which was 13 miles away.

    Being 500 miles away was more fun.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Please also keep in mind... that this is May... these kids don't sign until February. That's a whole 8 months from now... 3/4 of a year... In other words, a long time.

    ReplyDelete
  148. and still 98 days and 3.5 hours til kickoff

    ReplyDelete
  149. bama beat UF, It's always great to see the jean short crowd lose, and always sucks to see bama win... anything.

    Except the Fulmer Cup... that was enjoyable.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Can't believe I'm about to say this... but, I'll be pulling for the Cornpups tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Miller, I wouldn't consider doing otherwise. Between that gaytas and the bammers its always a hard decision, but I dislike LSU, but my hatred doesn't even compare to the other two schools.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I assure you I have no problem with pulling for any team -- the Osama Yo Mamas, included -- vs. the Cousin Humpers.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I said I can pull for them, you still won't see me typing that retarded phrase.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Supposed to be some recruiting news announced shortly
