Celebrating 2001!

Hey everyone. We have reached another significant HABOTN milestone with our 2,001th post!

Thanks to the HOTTIES (and everyone else) making this site just relevant enough to stick around. It's really a pleasure.

We should hold some kind of event to mark this fine occasion ... but I just realized my DVR isn't recording LOST. I'm more than a little annoyed. Let's just say a certain piece of electronic equipment may or may not have spent its final night in my home.

The "three comments to be moderated" are left over from the Corncob Attack of 2009. I started using that as a quarantine for the completely silly, pointless comments from Iowa fans back then.

And there's no way to erase them. So they just sit there and will continue to sit there ... FOREVER.

A shelf life like maize, no?

Jay, it looks like you will be watching Lost like me: on Hulu the next day. My Wednesday is always filled with prayers that I don't stumble across any Lost spoilers on HABOTN or anywhere else on the internets.

10:09 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Speaking of confederates, do you guys think the civil war was about states' rights or slavery?

10:10 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Lost was pretty decent tonight.

At the end, the people who were lost at the start of the show were still lost. The suspense was riveting. Oh... Sorry, Michael. I didn't mean to spoil it for you.

10:37 PM  
Blogger API said...

The War of Northern Aggression was about States' rights and the right to choose our own form of government. Please refer to the northern treatment of blacks thru the 80's if you want to think it was about slavery. While slavery was evil, the cause was not. When was the last riot in Ciny anyway?

Sorry for the late rant as I missed the first E-Bro/Michael incited dust up and have a little residual pent up musings to offer. Now, what's up with the BC Coaching situation?

API...As THT can attest to, we can just agree to disagree about the causes of the Civil War. Not sure what racism in the North has to do with it as racism was pervasive throughout the US for a long time.

There's a great line from the Civil Rights Era when an Illinois Civil Rights Activists comes down to Mississippi and is suprised to see a black family living peacefully next to a white family that otherwise wants to deny them rights. The black patriarch responds, "Up North, they want black people to have voting rights, but they don't want black people living next to them. Down South, they don't mind if black people live next to them, they just don't want black people to be able to vote."

All this said, Northerners did not enslave people against their will. But we'll just agree to disagree before it takes over the blog again.

Soccer talk anyone? No?

5:42 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

how Ironic... a civil rights activist from Illinois... the same northern state (Indiana was another) that made it illegal for African-Americans to come into or reside within their state borders.

E-bro - I can't read or write, and I ain't no speaker. So if you need to know the way I think about most anything, you'll find it in more eloquent fashion here.

Morning Hotties.

Congrats Homer, I'm happy to have been a part of some of the threads leading up to the 2001th. I remember the corncob days well. I can't wait for their return.

Once we've settled the Civil War debate, I have a couple of suggestions for other debate topics - I'd like to suggest that you start with Roe vs. Wade, good or bad?

6:38 AM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

I don't know why, but I blame the Civil War on Bama fans. I believe their ancestors to be at the root of it all.

Where have you been THT? That's been hashed out already.

As far as Barbee recruiting, I think it is outstanding. You need to also add the likes of Alabama, Kentucky, etc for the other guys he signed.

For the record, I believe the reason for fighting the Civil War was state's rights

The Confederate Soldiers who owned slaves probably fought for the right to do so (state's rights)

The Confederate Soldiers who were too poor to own slaves probably fought because they felt like southern states were being ignored and benefits given to northern states(state's rights=lack of equality in industry, agriculture, etc.)

Good morning, Hotties! I have missed you all. Tylerson is moved in and organized and ready to begin his next stage of life! And I am worn out!

We had a great graduation and the move went off flawlessly. He sure has accumulated a lot of stuff for a 23 year old.

Kathy treated us to a wonderful lunch in the old jail in Madison. Thank you, Kathy!!!

Having a luncheon at my house tomorrow, so I guess I should get to the grocery.

Great job, Jay, on your 2001st post!!!

the only reason I went to my AU graduation was those who paid for my AU education wanted to see me graduate. It was a little weird since I had left AU a year earlier. My graduation ceremony didn't mean that much to me. Heck, I probably won't even attend my funeral.

MrsTHT and I are heading to lunch at UNC with some folks who like old maps. Hottie Ho!

My favorite of Corn-Gate was the guy called Jay G a "moran."

If you are a moran, are you related to Erin Moran, star of "Happy Days" and "Joanie Loves Chachi?"

Or perhaps George "Bugs" Moran, whose gang was wiped out in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago?

Morans With Signs

Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Eddie,

Gus the # 1 OC in college football?

I just can't go along with that. Maybe after this year, we'll see. However last year we were very inconsistent on offense. We seemed to get off to hot starts but couldn't adjust once the other teams made adjustments.

We also put up huge numbers against bad teams, but struggled to move the ball a lot in the conference.

We were good on offense last year, but not great. This year could change a lot, but I think it's too early to crown Gus the king just yet.

10:17 AM  
Blogger wtc said...

There is alimit onthe number of basjet ball players you can sign in a year. I belive it is no more than 6 per year with a team max of 13.

10:19 AM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

I remember Javon Moran, he played here in Chattanooga for the Lookouts a few years back.

10:19 AM  
Blogger wtc said...

The article of Gus basically lists him as #1 due to having a new QB every year and still having large numbers from those guys. Looks like they think that he must be good because he had no continuity at QB for any 2 year period and still had offenses put up big numbers.

10:22 AM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Much like Chris Todd's overall numbers, on paper last year the end results for our offense looked great. However there are a lot of hidden things in those numbers that you don't see from a distance.

10:24 AM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

RK- That echo's my thoughts as well. Future looks bright, but I want to see good consistent offense this year against good opponents. I think the QB will help out a lot being mobile. I'm excited, but Gus #1 is a big stretch to me at this time.

10:27 AM

So Finebaum declared war on the Big11 Conference yesterday. This guys never ceases to amaze.

Somehow at the end, the commenters turned it into an UA is better than AU debate and visa versa.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

Re: RKs and Eddies 10:17-10:27 comments I agree also.

CGM has done well, but a #1 rating seems too high. He certainly has the potential to put out the best offense if our QBs deliver and if the rest of the offensive talent has developed enough to allow CGM to use more of the play book and stay ahead of the SEC defenses.

Remember how Borges came in, totally installed his offense and slowly unveiled it as necessary to stay ahead of the defenses in one year?

So who would be the best OC in the nation?

Congratulations Jay G Tate on the 2001st post.
Thanks to all the Hotties that kept it alive and helped to make it happen.
Is there any plans in the near future to elevate the Hotties in waiting for the Ring of Fire.
I forget when Jay said this would happen.

11:33 AM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

I don't think it's only a question of lining up talent with Malzahn's system (which it seems he has), but also, a year later, he'll be that much more familiar with the players already there, and they with him.

If Cam can pick it all up, I expect this familiarity to produce more consistent results.
