As seen at ESPN.com ...
Hey everyone. I'm in Kentucky this week for an allegedly relaxing week off before we start getting cranked up for Media Days, though some really sweet World Cup action will fray my nerves.
I hope you know about my little World Cup venture: Gannett World Cup.
So why am I writing this post? Oh, yes. "News."
Chris Low, a righteous dude who blogs for ESPN.com, today posted a list indicating how many national titles (in all sports) owned by each of the Southeastern Conference men's programs.
His source is the SEC office.
Within that countdown, I came across this:
a.) Wow.
b.) Finally -- someone recognizes the correct number of titles at Alabama.

Auburn: 9Thoughts:
* Eight in swimming (1997, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009), one in football (1957).
Alabama: 8
* Eight in football (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2009).
a.) Wow.
b.) Finally -- someone recognizes the correct number of titles at Alabama.

Jay, you and Chris low may getting threatening calls for introducing Bama fans to reality. It isn't a safe thing to do.
I was thinking the same thing Steve!
I can see it now. There will be tons of Alabama fans with thirteen tattoos lined up to get a line drawn through it and the number 9 added beside it. Oh the humanity. Lets just hope it isn't done at Walmart.
The angels are singing and rejoicing that the truth has been made known. They are singing hymns to Chris Low. As for me, he is now my second favorite sports dude behind you, Mr. Tate.
Tonights Futurama episode destroyed iPhone, Twitter, Real Housewives, and other funny current things.
Didn't women's track and field win one a couple of years ago? Also, didn't equestrian, even thought thats not really a full one :P
I'm gonna eat at Tacolu's AND Cabo Island tomorrow just so I'm not jealous of Hamburger King.
LGG I think the list was Men's sports.
Didn't Bama win the paper/rock/scissors championship? While we are counting, they should likely get credit.
Correction:
"Chris Low, a righteous dude and my future co-worker at ESPN ..."
Low notes that the source of this info is the SEC office.
Many apologies and corrections due from Slive in 3 ... 2... 1.
Can't imagine what information might be "corrected" in that scenario.
Jet - reaching back to your DUI hypothetical; were I in the same situation, my one phone call would have to be to a good friend who could get to my house and pack my bags because I'd never be setting foot in there again.
yes, we win!
now i can go to bed.
thanks JG. nite hotties.
This isn't a number Low decided upon, it's the number that the SEC recognizes. The NCAA recognizes something stupid like 18 or 19 (we have 7 or 8, I believe), the school claims 13 as we all know, and the SEC recognizes 8. I knew I liked this conference.
Ummm, I just read a Sports Illustrated article that listed Cam Newton as a sleeper for the Heisman. Wow!!! A QB that has basically played in one drive of FBS football a possible Heisman winner. Don't look now, but in a few years they will be naming high school juniors to Heisman watch lists. Some sportswriters are insane.
Morning, Hotties! It's Friday!!!!
TGIF. It's eight and the gate for me today, and then a three day weekend. Gonna be some soccer, some BBQ, and some tennis, and some sleeping.
Let it begin.
And my 4 day weekend starts...
NOW
Kentucky Basketball Being Investigated by NCAA?!?!?!?!
That didn't take long, but doesn't look to be a Calapari issue.
Good morning all. Is it just me or was blogger spazzing out last night?
I don't think Newton will be in the Heisman talk this year, but it's nice to know that others think he has talent and potential.
JaSteve, this just in: A senior writer for "High Times Magazine" just declared that the walmartians won the 1946,47,54,63,and 1978 championships in RPS.
If any of you has a bad day today, just remember....
at least you're not Damon Evans.
only 64 days til the season starts, which means we're that much closer to kicking ua-t's butt in T'loser.
GO TIGERS!!!!
WARRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!!!
If any of you has a bad day today, just remember....
You're not an Alabama fan, graduate, etc. (bless FSJ's heart).
Morning, Hotties!
I'm working today but looking forward to Biscuits baseball on the 4th and vacation in a week.
Just one question on CL's column for you conference experts: How long has the SEC been in existence? Were AU and Bammer in it from the beginning?
let's see, the 75th anniversary of the SEC was in 2007. so, what's that make it, 1932 when the SEC started?
yes, AU & UA were members from the get-go.
Bammers are a bunch of idiots.
Chris Low left off GT National Championships. I'm fairly certain they had some one while members of the SEC.
In 1932, Georgia Tech and Georgia were two of the original 13 charter members of the Southeastern Conference.
Georgia Tech would continue its membership until 1964 after Tech Coach Bobby Dodd began a historic feud with Alabama Coach Bear Bryant. Georgia Tech left the SEC concerning the allocation of scholarships and student athlete treatment.
Georgia Tech would later attempt re-entry but the re-entry was eventually voted down. The biggest opponent of Georgia Tech's re-entry was Georgia.
Damon Evans is lookin real bad.
I mean, DUIs suck. Really bad decision. Looks really bad for an AD to get into that kind of snag.
But ... but ... who is Courtney Fuhrmann?
GT won NC's in '51 '52 i believe.
A: She's a friend.
You say she's just a friend.
Well, you say she's just a friend.
a 28-year old blonde white woman sir.
oh, and she's NOT his wife.
She's "a friend" who's probably also a hooker with a heart of gold.
but not a gold digger. let's just be clear here. just a friend.
I wonder what the big money donors to UGA are thinking (because they're going to be the one's that decide if he stays.) Adams may be the one that rules on the decision, but we know all too well how these things work. One of the big donors that I'm aware of there at UGA isn't exactly the standard bearer when it comes to morals.
Yeah, the "friend" has got to make Mrs. Evans thinking about becoming a "Miss" again.
i think cl may have ganked that info from one of the pay site message boards. i saw the same list gathered from the the sec office by one of their mods two or three days ago.
jasfc, what if wal-mart gets a tatoo parlor. they give haircuts and eye exams and can do your taxes so it is only logical they start offering tatoos.
if a hooker had a heart of gold, her pimp would cut it out of her.
anyone who wants to see some high quality futbol go watch brazil and the stoners on espn.
YOOOOOUUUUU GOT WHAT I NEEEEEDDDD, AND YOU SAY SHE'S JUST A FRIEND!!!!!
Gotta love some Biz Markee references on the blog so early in the morning.
Braves to host the fish tonite. Medlen on the hill. i'm really liking this kid. he's been dealing.
Don't forget that Chris Low started out as a UT blogger. That means 2 things:
a) bammers will automatically dismiss anything he writes
b) there's still hope for JGT's ESPN gig
20 mile bike ride=jello legs.
Why exactly did I buy a road bike.
An ever better question: why did I agree to do a triathalon?
A question I never have to ask: why do I love Auburn?
the answers to that one are obvious.
Wake, i did a mini triathlon back in college. i kinda gave up the road bike thing about being blown off the road a few times by 18-wheelers. scared me to death. if i could just ride without having to dodge cars i wouldn't have stopped.
Wake... in which tri did you sillily agree to participate?
I'm not spending nearly enough time in the pool now that I (ridiculously) agreed to run a marathon.
Just a local sprint tri.
15 mile bike=not to bad
5k run=no problem
1/4 mile swim=crap I don't swim
Stacking them on top of each other should make for quite the experience. I'll find out if its something I want to pursue going forward or not.
I hate that the run is last, that is definitely my strong point (not that its all that stront, but comparably speaking). But I"m sure I'll be dead by that point.
Like I said... an experience.
i was dead after the swim even though it was pretty short. i never could swim even though i took a few classes at AU.
The Braves are 8-1 in Medlen’s starts, including the last six in a row. He is 4-0 with a 3.40 ERA in nine starts.
not too shabby.
Thanks, ScottieB, for the SEC info. I'm like E-Bro; I look at things from a(n) historical context.
I have not been on the blog as much lately, so I probably missed it, but what happened to the supersport 930 morning show that JGT would be on?
Stupup Kevin was terminated.
When a married man has a "friend-female" and goes to lunch he will indeed be in trouble when caught. Many weeks of screaming followed by weeks of silence.
When a man is caught at 1:30 am with said female friend he will be toast and badly burnt on both sides.
Well that settles it...Arkansas is the most dominant program in the SEC...right?
I bet they'd trade all off those track championships for our eight (isn't that the record for football since we are going by current major polls?).
Digger,
WOW - I did not know that. So I guess Kevin and Mr Evans have something in common.
(Cue the Biz Markee)
FSJ the SEC is just one minor keeper of records. The U says 13 with no shame. So take your choice.
Mr, Evans is in hiding from his wife and waiting for the shoe to drop at work.
Put this down on the list of 'Things that Make Me Happy":
http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Bobby_Bonillas_Retirement_Plan_Is_Better_Than_Yours/2827501
As a Braves fan, I LOVE this. Bobby Bonilla gets 1.2 mil a year for the next 25 years from the Mets because he deferred 5.9 mil in salary from a buyout.
You know, watching the Mets is like going to a small town Wal-Mart, I don't care how bad things are in your life, you will see some loser(s) that instantly make you feel better about yourself.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703426004575339013108198050.html?KEYWORDS=Bobby+Bonilla
Here is a better link for the story I mentioned above.
The only thing I could think of that would be better is if the words Mets was replaced with Bama, and Bobby Bonilla was replaced with Mike Shula.
ok, off to meet my an AU ALUM at Mellow Mushroom.
Stupup,
I don't think Digger was talking about Kevin having the friend-female. Maybe I'm wrong...
Glad I do nto listen to fbomb. I am sure MNAY calls will come in about the Low article. They will sound like 5 graders arguing back and forth. Like 13-8 or 2 is going to make their life any better or worse. Who are these folks that let a football teams W-L record control their lives.
Just found out Gigi's Cupcakes is opening a store in Auburn around July 17. I probably didn't need to know that!
Is that place awesome or something Kathy..should i go there and buy cupcakes
They are WONDERFUL!!! And very big. We visit the one in Huntsville on special occasions. My daughter has already put in a request for her 21st birthday on Tuesday. They are suppose to open a shop in Madison late summer, which will be very dangerous for me, and now I find out they are opening one in Auburn. They are going to have some special Auburn cupcakes. Definitely try them out!
Ephireal, I think your right. I got confused.
Note to Self: Periods mean sentence termination, and a new thought.
OK, I know that deriving glee from someone's else misfortune is a character flaw. But wouldn't it be neat to swap Damon Evans for Mal Moore right about now? Imagine the fun we could have with that?
nice API. i guess we can dream.
the calzones at the 'Shroom are still good. as is the company of a fellow Tiger ALUM.
WDE! HATE BAMA!
random #69 BEN GRUBBS post!!!!!!!!!
Ya know ..they got Bammers in So. Mississippi ..and they are just as stoopid as all other Bammers.
May the Hate be with you.
sadly there are Bammers in east tennessee too.
yup, just as stoopid.
Now dear chillun, just remember the Good Book regarding the evil ones of the Crimson stain.
"These six things the LORD hates, Yes,seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren." (Provebers 6:16-20)

In a shocking development, the Georgia AD has said he is sorry. This I'm sorry defense has long been used by youth of our nation, but will it work for the Georgia AD?
The whole THT family is out to torment E-bro...
Personally, I think I would have went with the $hit happens defense, but that is just me. Hey, $hit happens!!!
Steve, that was 20 hours ago.
It's puppet hour and we have a patient here now whose last name is Mann-Weiner. i ain't lyin'
2.0 is a daily lurker, but LGGB rarely hits HABOTN and, in my typical lousy parent fashion, I forgot to communicate to him the need to keep WC updates under wraps for the Hotties who DVR it to watch when they get home from work.
A vacation fly-by hello. No internet kinda sux but is also kinda nice.
You know what happened on this day many years ago? Yep, Airplane! hit theaters.
I'll steal one from Norm: Keep hate alive!!
ehyou - surely that's not the ONLY thing that happened on this date.

E-bro if you read this I'm sorry! Didn't know about the rule on Posting about the WC :(
Friday nught and everybody is out doig their thing.
Don't eat or drink too much.
One will make you fat and ugly the other could kill you!
Friday night too.
it's time for.....
a late Beasely!!!!
I didn't drink TOO much, but I'm done drinking and it's not even 9p my time. So, there's that.
Norm,
Drinking starts at 5pm...especially on the Friday of a holiday weekend.
Damon Evans possibly has the funniest DUI police report ever. Red Panties in his lap? Seriously?
Norm ...
It is, and don't call me Shirley.
They caught the dirtbag who killed two officers in ymtampa. I'm very thankful for this.
This has all the makings of a country music song.
"It All Went Wrong When I Drove Drunk With Her Thong."
or
"Too Much Booze and the Red Thong Blues."
Jet, you are too funny!
To the entire THT clan:
No worries. I've not been trying too hard to keep others from commenting on World Cup. I just have a HABOTN addiction that I can't quite beat, so from time to time I've been playing with fire by getting on here during World Cup hours.
Well, no way I was going to take that chance today with a Netherlands-Brazil match on the docket. I said goodbye to HABOTN at 10:00 (EST) this morning and just now getting back on and running through the comments, so nothing was spoiled for me today.
Incredible day of World Cup ation today. Now I'm ready for Argentina-Germany and Spain-Paraguay. Have a Happy Fourth everyone.
I slept in this morning, like the rest of you.
But it's time to rise and shine. We've only got 63 days (NINE WEEKS!!!) til kickoff.
GO TIGERS!!!
WARRRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
Good morning, Hotties! Just got back from a 4 mile walk around Cherokee, AL. Very exciting stuff! Great flat walk, no hills here.
Time to start celebrating the 4th. My kids get here today. Can't wait to seee my new grandchild (still in utero of course.)
1st day of Tour de France, a 5.5 mile time trial, is on VS at 11:30 EDT, for those of you who won't be watching SOCCER.
I'll be watching both, though I'll be watching le Tour tape delayed. I'm a big fan of cycling's biggest event.
Unfortunately, I'm about to be a part of a live broadcast of mowing the back yard. Later, LOS CALIENTES.
Nice morning in Montgomery. Ran a smooth 7.35 miles at 5:30am.
Glad for the Tour deFrance to start. Now you can see what athletes that take steroids and lie about it can do on a bike.
my pool was green with algae starting on Monday and looked like a pond by Friday AM. Wife called 'a guy' and he said to drain 1/3 of the water off to lower the salt content. after she did that, we took a sample to the pool store. They sold us about $140 worth of chemicals (most I have spent on this pool in the 6 years I have had it) and the algea is gone this AM. I had to fill the pool back up for flippin' 8 hours yesterday and last night. I still cannot figure out what draining the thing down was going to do. now I have to vacuum the algea out and that will drop the level again. Then I have to fill'er back up. This is going to be a costly weekend and it is just Saturday morning. Anyway, should be ready for a swim by early evening.
Morning folks.
Hour and 5 minutes later
Morning folks
Boy we are lacking substance! I'm getting my tires rotated so I have an excuse to be on-line on a holiday Saturday. Guess all the hotties are at the lake/beach/other enjoying their hotness elsewhere.
Bridge substance in the THT family earlier. Quiet afternoon is my idea of Saturday fun, at least til September.
Bottom line is a rag tag Auburn football team carried UAT's team to the wire in the '09 IB. With a year's experience, I believe Auburn will rock in '10.
easy, we didn't loose a lot of players to graduation, but we lost key players like Todd and Tate. There is a good chance the QB position will be significantly improved. The RB position is a lot less certain.
That being said, when you look at the defense and special teams, it would be hard for them not to be improved.
That to me does say an improved 2010 season. Throw in that the players on offense now that have a year in Malzahn's system and it is easy to get very excited about this season.
Replacing skill position players on offense is always risky. QB and TB are the two high profile positions because they have the potential to influence the outcome of a game the most. Mistakes can kill you, so lack of experience there is a concern.
Brandon Cox is the best example of this. Most of the time he was great, and at one point many wanted him to replace Jason Campbell. But when Cox had a bad game, he was the worst QB I believe we have had at Auburn this century. It is those type of performances you worry about with new starters.
Fannin is experienced and will prolly start. Cam will give us the ability to RUN at the QB position. He is not the Damien Craig type. He is much larger and more difficult to bring down. If we improve the D by 30% it will be awesome.
The Braves won 4-1 they are getting me hooked again.
It is easy to get over excited for Auburn football but we should temper that with some caution. The potential is there for an excellent season but the unknowns are strong enough to say let's wait and see.
Hello all. Anything going on?
Going to work in the am for a couple of hours and then heading to the lake to pull off the my wife's suprise 30th birthday party. Anyone else have plans?
10-2 for our tigers this year. Mark it down.
CH=B, just got home from my nephew's surprise 30th BD party!
Spent 4 hours in the yard ... trying to get it perfect to satisfy the Mrs. ... spent an hour walking the aisles at Winn Dixie ... preparing for the crowd of 25 at the house tomorrow night for burgers and dogs. We made the potato salad tonight. I'll make the beans tomorrow.
Chilling with the laptop, iPod and NASCAR on mute.
Tommy Tuberville: Reprimand from the Big 12
http://blog.al.com/goldmine/2010/07/tommy_tuberville_reprimand_fro.html
xCTT Reprimand Linky
You can't really blame the Big12. Tuberville may have said the truth, but sometimes people fail to take the opportunity to shut up. CTT is one of them.
Seems Tubs struck a nerve with statements that have a lot of truth and logical prophesy.
Beebe to Tubs: "Don't mess with Texas".
Hoopie!
That was an authoritative declarative statement at its best and invalid negative speculation at the worst.
Shame on you. You know better than that!
The arrest report mentioned red panties on his lap? The PoPo sure didn't do him any favors. This sets up another battle between the UGA old boyz and Michael Adams. The state of Ga. has one Board of Regents that handles all state schools so Adams job is safe, but the AD will probably have to go.
Chores successfully completed in for the in-laws in So Miss: Hired a carpenter to replace rotten facia on the boathouse and detached garage, Hired a tree surgeon to remove dead trees, Limbed up trees, weed ate the weeds, sprayed roundup, blew off the driveways and walkways, Fixed a trolling motor, cleaned out the boathouse and wood working shop and threw away a pickup truck load of crap, grilled-shrimp-Conecuh sausage and asparagus for a group of 14 on Friday night.
I got 2 more days of this stuff, then can't wait to get home and rest.
In Ga, the fireworks shows were tonight(Sat). In Mississippi, they are tommorrow night.
Have a happy an safe forth.
Jet, I'm a weak man.
i've finally come out of my rib coma from this afternoon.
i'm watching some live aussie rules football on the deuce and a flock of seagulls is constantly flying around on the field. Not the band, real seagulls. the band would actually be more interesting. especially if they were flying. how many beers did i have today?
Here is some interesting info. Which QBs have had the best QB rating for Auburn the last few seasons.
2009 - Neil Caudle
2008 - Neil Caudle
2007 - Blake Field
2006 - Brandon Cox
2005 - Blake Field (Technically Courtney Taylor but he only threw one pass)
2004 - Brandon Cox (Technically Carnell Williams but he only threw one pass)
This is purely a things that make you say hmmm, thing.
Happy 4th of July to all Hotties everywhere from the Isle of Palms, SC....where I hope to enjoy a blissful week at the beach with my family doing whatever comes along.
Good morning to missinit and all the Hotties.
Guess what today is? That's right, it's July 4th, which means we celebrate only 62 days til kickoff!
GO TIGERS!!!
WARRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
Happy 4th hotties! Here's a clip of a 4th of July themed Jaywalking clip.
