Getting Our Bearings

Hey everyone. So as you have surmised, I was asked (politely) to make Wednesday my last day of work at the Advertiser. Nobody should be upset with the Advertiser; they are keeping to their word and sending me on my way with what they agreed to give me. No hard feelings.

I am hopeful that Brian Woodham, who recently left a part-time gig with ITAT to take a full-time job as a copy editor at the Advertiser, will be given an opportunity to take my old job. Brian would be a great addition. I'll let you know if I hear anything about that.

As I explained on Facebook, we will have a board at AuburnSports.com with a stricter standard when it comes to cussing and any off-putting shenanigans. Personally, I'm good with the Bunker and have read it for a long time. They get a little upset when things don't go well, which is understandable, but I feel like that board's reputation for savage commentary far exceeds reality.

With that said, we will have a HABOTN-esque board over there for people whose tolerance for cussing is at zero. Just want to make that clear.

I'll be starting at AuburnSports.com on Monday.

Take care, errybody. Thanks as always for your support!

If I was going to create an alter ego, I think I would make him/her like SFC. Just magnified. I could get a kick outta that.

Ladies and Gents; while I suppose it's conceivable that I could muster up some momentary creativity to establish an alter-ego alias, there's simply no way, NO WAY I could ever pull off an SFC. He's a true original. Thank goodness.

I am about to be done with 2.0 and hang with THT over here all the time. Is there room for me to move in THT? Just wondering?

5:31 PM  
Blogger Norm said...

Bigdaddy, I bet your "done with 2.0" is due to something Michael did. Probably his psychology post within the "Leff turns" thread. But perhaps you haven't noticed that he hangs here too so by ditching 2.0 you'd still have MJT.

I saw the most bizarre thing today... a Romney sticker on a Subaru. The world must be coming to an end. The mostest bizarre part of it was that it was about 5 minutes after I had the thought "There is no segment of the population less likely to vote for Romney than Subaru owners"

Hey y'all

8:55 AM  
Blogger Norm said...

I learned awhile back to just avoid HABOTN (2.0 at least) on game day, the Game Day threads in particular. Lots of expert analysis and complaints that I can just do without.

I fully expected we'd win a close game by 3. We didn't but I'm not down about it and I'm not looking for directions to The Pit. The negatives I saw seemed largely correctable or just cases of nerves for first time starters. I didn't see D in attack mode to the extent I thought I would. Since those folks know more about the game than I and they all have much more riding on the outcome of every game than I do, I'm going to assume that they didn't play that aggressive D because of the talent they were up against and what we had on the field. I truly believe that we will see week-to-week improvement this year which we didn't see last year.

Hey y'all

I can barely keep up with the many iterations of HABOTN, you think I can keep up with multiple Beasley possibilities? Nope, can't do it. Best to plan accordingly. I had a good sized late lunch yesterday and then nothing buy some crackers for dinner. I don't typically eat breakfast and today's no exception. I'm sitting in a Doctor's Waiting Room for an appointment he's clearly running late in keeping. If I hadn't had to drive over an hour to sit here, I'd go home and tell them to call me when they were ready. I'm hungry and getting grumpy about it.

Don't know who madmin is, but he'd likely got his own job to do, and was asked to be caretaker,...there's a chance no one really kept up with what was happening when JGT had a well oiled machine going. Madmin read a few things he thought were unfair and proceeded to step in it. Now likely he's wishing he had a way-back machine....

Pretty sure like everything else, this will pass, and once newguy enters the fray it will evolve some more.

There's already been discussion about Rob hosting it. So. We would just have to change our bookmarks again (those of us who use them - I don't).

I don't mind a new set of digs. But I would hate to move and have 50% of the hotties left behind. On the other hand JayG says he would stop by and chat with us. He can't do that currently.

I forgot about the campfire as well. I'll have to go sift through the ashes.... check that. There was only an ash.

10:00 AM  
Blogger Robert said...

Guys i have a site together. It really needs some people to test it out. My goal for this site is to allow trusted members to post whatever content/links they feel that needs to be discussed. And then have a forum section for day to day stuff. Kind of like mixing 1.0 and 2.0.

I want to have a few members that just post alot of content from every other site. That way we can have one spot with all content for Auburn football. Its a work in progress but let me know what you think. Im waiting to here back from a special person about a domain. For now the test domain is habotn.robertboley.com Enjoy! My email is robertboley@gmail.com or facebook.com/robertboley if you have problems.

Blogger bigdaddy334 said...

Robert as far a being a catch all for Auburn info links and stuff I like but, I would still try to limit the posting stuff from paid sites just out of respect for Jay and other guys like him. Just what I was thinking.

12:49 PM  
Blogger Robert said...

I don't mind posting links to paid sites. Because u have to have a paid account to view. If anything it drives more traffic to their site. I would like for people to read the content from the links on said writer website. But discuss on the new site? Does that make since?

1:02 PM

I just reread what U said. I'm all about just not posting info from paid sites. Probably best not to even link because its hard to discuss if u can't read it.

How 'bout them Aggies and little Chuckie Deeton beating PAC12 "power" Utah last night. That was a good game.

Morning everyone.

This week will be a fun-sad-exciting week for me. The boss/FIL(Father-in-law) is going to the beach FOR A WEEK(fun part)! The sad part my wife and 3 year old son are also going for the week. The exciting part is while he is gone I have to run things and get some deals going to show him I can do it.

If you need me, I'll be checking in intermittently at Robert's new HABOTNoid place... at least until he kicks me out of there for being too stupid to figure out how it works.

If you need me ... well, if you've gotten all the way down the list to me, you should probably just dial 911.

Day/Night 3 - now, when are they coming back again?
Day/Night 4 - conversations with the dog commence.
Day/Night 5 - WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME?
Day/Night 6 - ???

Well, I'm doing the solo thing, too, but it's already messed up.

Mrs. Jet went to see her grandmother, but Nanny was put in the hospital, so it puts a damper on the weekend.

Man. Pretty much all the negative comments are warranted on 2.0. I'm not ready to fire Chiz just yet though.

I'm pretty sure we're looking at 1-4 start. ... I wonder if our coaches survive the season.

4:34 PM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

If some of the same logic thats being applied in 2.0 is used by the P'sTB then, no.

5:27 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

I should clarify. It's warranted in the sense that there isn't much positive to take away. But half the conclusions are indeed nutso.

7:24 PM  
Blogger ArtVanDelay said...

I agree.

7:38 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

I'm at a loss.

Actually, I'm not. We will live and die on Frazier's ability to get it. If he can get out of his own head, and just play we salvage the season. If not, this will be a year for the record books in a bad way.

Odds are against us.

Gonna be a little scary waking up in the morning not sure the sun is coming up. Packing for lot term Pit occupancy.

Evening all.

Mornin Everybody.

Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

we are AUful.
They kept waiting to name a starting QB hoping Clint's shoulder would get better. It didn't. My projected starter is in Louisville. KF is a very long way from being effective. We might as well go to the wishbone.

Defense is abysmal. This is shocking. I had great hopes that it was all Roof's fault. Apparently it wasn't.

And even worse, Norm isn't seeing week to week improvement.

356 days til kickoff.

Morning AllenD

Hey Everybody else.

Blogger Norm said...

One of my posted predictions came true yesterday - I didn't not visit HABOTN after kickoff. 'm flying out of town tomorrow for the week. That may be perfect timing. I can skip all iterations of HABOTN and miss the usual. Well, maybe the usual has been ramped up to 11. Doubt I'll even head over to 2.0 today. I'll read the analysis and commentary by those paid to do so.

War Eagle.

7:39 AM  
Blogger Norm said...

"...didn't not...

Stupid vision problems. To clarify, I did not visit any flavor of HABOTN or get on line yesterday after kickoff. All the good stuff came to me via twitter and fb. That was plenty.

7:51 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I had no contact with the outside world after kickoff yesterday, not even The Twitter. Not even email. Not on internet at all until I got back to work this morning. Unlike Norm, I sha'n't even visit the pay sites today. I don't need to read any analysis of how bad we are. I saw it with my own tearful eyes. AllenD, save me a seat in the sub-basement of The Pit. The only thing that may prevent us going 0-5 in September is the patsy we have scheduled for Sept 29...Open Date.

I guess I need to make a new thread here? We need to pick one -- this place or HAVING A BLAST.

this thread is fine by me, although the previous one is my favorite.

1:44 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

We'll keep Rollin either way.

Although, things have gone a bit pittish. Frowny face.

2:17 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

pittish? I wonder what kind of pit they have in Boulder. At least we didn't lose to PAC-12 killer Sacramento State. They got clubbed last week by NMSU (yes, the one on our schedule), but this week they beat Colorado.

Last year Sac State beat Oregon State and then proceeded in the next two weeks to get clobbered by Southern Utah and Weber State.

2:26 PM  
Blogger bubbs said...

I was hanging on after Clemson. After MSU, I'm very concerned. If we lose to lamo this week, I'm in the pit. No question.

4:05 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

From my armchair, I perceive KF to have as bright a future at QB as Gabe Gross and Kodi Burns had. We are in deep poo. Yet, I believe KF's chances to surprise me with success are much greater than our defensive QB. If GC is a great coach, he's given himself the perfect opportunity to prove it during the next 10 games. On second thought, if he is a great coach, how did we get into this situation?
