Welcome to another 5k

OK. So you all have reached 5,000 posts, so THT has asked that I make a new thread. I'll gladly acquiesce. But first, a photo of the always-lovely Jenna Fischer to user in a new post. Please enjoy.

bubbs said...: Should be a good game tonight. I don't know what the spread is, but this is where Tubbs always shines. Watch out Houston!

2005 - Galileo sues Eli Whitney for patent infringement of smell-o-vision.; 1:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Been so busy I completely forgot that it was H!

Campfiyah!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006 - Despite protests from millions, the FDA decrees that Listeria can no longer be used as a natural flavoring additive.; 1:46 PM
bubbs said...: I'm not even sure I remember how to get there anymore ... *sigh* ... sad times.

2007 - JayG builds a fire pit in his back yard.; 2:12 PM
michael said...: Just follow your heart. Then you'll find the campfiyah.

Or google "chatroll habotn" and follow that if your heart is dark and cold.

2008 - the Price-Strother map of North Carolina becomes sentient.; 2:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: no need for you to be there anyway, bubbs. I'm peopleophobic so a campfire of one is good times.

2008 - Violating all import laws in the U.S., meerkats are smuggled into east AL.; 2:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm always messing up the timeline.

2010 - the bagman hits the jackpot; 2:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Dyslexic labeler stamped a Best By date on my bag of Skinny Pop popcorn of Jan 09 17. Based on the staleness, it undobutedly was supposed to be Jan 17 '09.

2011 - unbeknownst to Hotties, astatguy and exiled Monica secretly marry.; 3:16 PM
bubbs said...: This is how it happens for THT. He leaves bank for AU and they spend most of it on a onion farm research facility.

That dude was creepy looking.

2012 - NH librarian, who shorted the 2012 AU football season, makes millions.; 4:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: giant scoreboards and onions are an equal waste of money, but at least scoreboards don't stink. Well... the one at JHS stunk a lot last year. We'll see if it returns to its malodorous ways tomorrow night.

T-Mobile tells iPhone owners not to install iOS 10 just yet (Updated)
A glitch is causing connectivity issues with the 6, 6 Plus and SE

Of course, they told me that 10 minutes after I finally got the update to download and install. And right on cue this morning, I completely lost network right as I was fixin' to order my Chick-A-Fil biscuit on the CFA app.

2013/4 - Apple software update causes stadium clock to run slow; game ends 14 seconds later than it should have.; 8:00 AM
bubbs said...: I'm an android user, but I know several apple users that have had issues with iOS10. There's always some bugs to work out on a mass update like that, but this one seems especially problematic.

Any of you guys use a tablet? I need to upgrade mine, and I've not decided what direction I want to go.

2014 - AU fans continue to complain about QB play. The football gods laugh at these dumb fans and begin preparing JJ as penance.; 8:44 AM
michael said...: I usually wait about a month before updating. Apple is really annoying with all the update badgering, though.

The family has a mini ipad, and it seems to work good. I've always though kindle fires were best for the price, but not sure what you're using it for. My wife also has a microsoft surface she seems to like.

2015 - Daniel Cobb breaks the single season rushing record.; 9:59 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I haven't lost network connection again so far. I'm sure it will be sorted out soon. Rightly or not, I perceive my info to be more secure with Apple apps than with Android apps. Plus, every day at the Buy More reminds me why I prefer Apple over Windows. I'm the only one in the family without a tablet. Although I don't own one, I prefer the chewables.

2016 - didn't exist; 2:19 PM
michael said...: I like Apple phones but hate their computers. Getting rid of headphone jacks will probably push me to Android, though. I'm not into bluetooth earpods.

2017 - Following the national championship win and facing high expectations, Auburn struggles and loses 5 games in the regular season.; 4:18 PM
bubbs said...: What have you done to our 2017 season!!!

The no ear bud jack because they're "being brave," seemed like a .... weak move. I don't know what they're really thinking.

I'm not sold on any one OS. I'll use whatever. I went with the android phone primarily because I felt it would be easier to get all my content on there without having to pay apple to do it (drag and drop songs from computer rather than pay in iTunes). But for all I know that might be easy to do on an apple phone now. It felt like once I bought the phone I could do whatever with it, whereas I always get the feeling that apple is really renting you their products.

Part of my problem re: tablets is I don't really know if I want to expand how I'm using it now (mostly just stream content) or if I want to start doing more with it.

2018 - AU fires Gus and hires Ellis Johnson due to his commitment to academics.; 4:34 PM
THT said...: Lashlee - offense is a "work in progress".

Can we please put in our next HC and OC contracts that they are getting paid to put a finished product on the field?

2019 - after a 6th consecutive season without a winning conference record, AU decides to join the Sunbelt Conference.; 8:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I don't feel any better about "the situation" after sleeping on it. In fact, I now have a crick in my neck. What a train wreck.

2020 - the foresight vision needed for our next coaching hire.; 8:45 AM
bubbs said...: I tell ya what. Vindication of our poor outlook for the 2016 non-season never tasted so bitter. Was really hoping that Gus would prove me to be a bigger idiot than I already am.

I guess he could prove me wrong that he'll get one more year. Although, I don't know who's out there that we could get right now. There are some good coaches, but I'm not sure any are in a position where they'd want to leave their current gig.

2021 - AU removes the upper decks at JHS.; 8:58 AM
michael said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 10:13 AM
michael said...: Good thing Auburn isn't playing a 2016 season of football. That would have been a disaster

2022 - Battle of Midway; 10:13 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: upper.deck comment made me LOL, receiving strange looks from other Costco shoppers. Just sitting here waiting for a change of tires.... and coaches.

2024 - they finally finish putting new tires on the car. Since the tires are already 4 years old, I order another se; 10:43 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: bubbs, i fear that you haven't yet received a full taste of bitter. Our non-season has some imaginary games that are likely to make denatonium benzoate taste like sugar cane.

2025 - Two days before leaving office, President Clinton signs immigration treaty with ISIS, offering a 1:1 swap of terrorists for deplorables.; 11:01 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: unfortunately, this is pretty accurate
http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2016/09/alcom_all-access_its_not_the_e.html

2026 - after several uncompetitive years in the Sun Belt, AU drops to FCS and rejoins the Southern Conference; 11:44 AM
E-Bro said...: Let's just drop to Division III so we can take biennial trips to Sewanee. We still owe them for 1899 and trail them in the overall series.

2027 - Rolling Stones hit the road for the "We swear this is the last one" tour.; 1:14 PM
bubbs said...: Ah. Division III. That's true college sports. No scholarships. Only young men being molded as student athletes for the love of the game. Let's do it!

2028 - JJ gets handed the university president gig and hires Tim Jackson as AD.; 1:22 PM
E-Bro said...: If there isn't much happening the weekend of Oct 1, I'm actually planning on heading up there for a game. Went a few years back and had a good time. Beautiful campus.

2029 - Chosen Newton commits to Auburn after being offered as an 8th grader.; 3:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Gogue is now a lameduck president. Will he do something in December or just leave it for the next guy?

Headline from JGT's old paper: A $13.795 million decision: Potential buyout analysis for Gus Malzahn & his staff

I still propose telling Gus to change OC and give next OC 100% control of offense. It may not work but it will buy us some time and save some $.

2030 - three years after eliminating the football program, AU decides to try just one more time. The new HC is Tucker Tuberville, hired after becoming the winningest coach in Sewanee history. TAKE THAT, SEWANEE!; 4:39 PM
Jimmy said...: So how do you guys think we will do against LSU?; 5:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm inclined not to think about it, Jimmy. I'll just concern myself with finding gas for the 1000 mile round trip this weekend.

2032 - Napolean IX sacks Waterloo.; 8:12 AM
michael said...: It's way too early to start thinking about the 2017 LSU game. We don't even know who will be LSU's coach then.; 9:43 AM
E-Bro said...: Tom Herman. He'll also be Auburn's, Oklahoma's, and Florida State's HC next year.

Guy's a pro.; 10:00 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Tomorrow is the 20 year anniversary of The Barn burning. Sadly, even now, our football program is going up in smoke.

2034 - the total number of missed FGs by AU in games against LSU in 1996 and 2005.; 10:09 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 2039 - the number of times I've messed up the timeline.; 10:10 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Malzahn says AU is "real close to the winning edge"

LB's first thought "oh, he's about to be fired?"

my first thought, we went over the edge 2 years ago, and it wasn't winning.

2037 - Battle of Midway rages on with no end in sight; 2:41 PM
michael said...: Alright I'm changing my tune again, Auburn is gonna win all the games from here on out. Gus will put the QBs in better situations. We'll win edges. And we'll finally defeat those dirty Germans at Midway!

2038 - Battle of Midway; 2:51 PM
bubbs said...: Finally listened to the presser. What I heard was, "I fully recognize that I'm coaching for my job. If I don't figure out a way to win, it's over."

I'm not changing my tune. Well. Actually I am changing my tune. I predicted a highly optimistic 7 win season because of strong play along the lines. Well. Our OLine is turrible. I'm changing my tune back to 5 or 6 wins.

2039 - The number of times THT has messed up the timeline.; 2:55 PM
michael said...: I think you also need to see the team audiologist bubbs, because he didn't say those words at all.

2040 - Beasts roam the earth; 3:08 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: bubbs hears what people are thinking; it's more accurate than listening to what they say.

2.0 is going to stop at a grocery store on the way home from Raleigh today to pick up Blue Bell Ice Cream. I feel like we should have some sort of ceremony.

2041 - AU wins the Iron Bowl; the 9th consecutive Iron Bowl win for AU and HCTT.; 7:40 AM
michael said...: I finished Stranger Things lasts night. I really liked that show. I am bummed it's over (for now at least).

The wife and I worked out a compromise where she'd be in the room with headphones/earmuffs on doing homeschool prep and not watching the TV while I got to watch the show.

Not sure what to think about them doing a second season. The slow reveal of what was going on is a big part of why it was so good. I'll go in with low expectations when it comes out.

2042 - 100 year anniversary of the bicentennial celebration of the Battle of Midway; 10:31 AM
bubbs said...: It's always good to be cautiously pessimistic, MJT. They can take that story in a ton of directions. Weren't you a fan of Lost? That's a great example of how you can throw a huge spaghetti bowl of ideas onto a wall and write whatever sticks. Logic and consistency be damned.

Speaking of expectations. Mine for this weekend are about as low as they can get. But I will be watching the Buyout Bowl. It figures to play heavily into the story line of SEC football coaches.

2043 - The current 20-somethings' generation is coined as "Midways." They, of course, are everything that's wrong with society.; 10:49 AM
michael said...: The main takeaway from this story is that Auburn wants fans to go to "The Pit"

http://gridironnow.com/auburn-bribing-fans-show-sec-nation/

bubbs, Lost was perfect and logical, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

2044 - Gorillas revolt!; 12:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I think we have a good shot against the Corndogs this week. Delusional? Wishful thinking? I also thought we would beat them in '96.

2044 - Elvis was alive, after all. A party of radical Nunavuts invade and capture Herschel Island, tearing down the Yukon flag and hoisting the Nunavut flag. In an abandoned Northwest Whaling and Trading Company shed they find Elvis's body clutching a half-eaten jar of Cheez Whiz manufactured in 2017.; 12:22 PM
E-Bro said...: I wouldn't mind if they just made Stranger Things into an Anthology series and explore different stories, but I'll remain cautiously optimistic that season 2 won't suck.; 1:08 PM
bubbs said...: LOL @ THT ... Oh. Wait. You're serious about beating lsu. Well, I guess there's a chance.

E-Bro is jinxing Stranger Things just like he did our 2016 football season.

2045 - E-Bro likes his chances at strapping 12 chicken carcasses to himself and walking through an alligator farm .... RIP, E-Bro.; 1:58 PM
michael said...: 2016 season would be fine if Ebro didn't do that Clemson countdown.

***Stranger Things Spoilers**** whatever Stranger Things does in season 2, it better include a living Eleven, because that part was seriously sad (though with the waffle in the box part, I am 95% sure she is alive)

2046 - It turns out Ebro survived the incident and will star in the second season of Alligator Farm Walk airing on Dinosaur TV.; 2:13 PM
bubbs said...: You make an excellent point. Everything has gone south since E-Bro started that countdown. E-Bro, you better figure this out and find a way to put our players in a better position.

****Spoilers*********
Not really a spoiler. They've already said she'd be in the second season. BUT, that doesn't necessarily mean her status is anything but what they implied.

2047 - bubbs appears on Lemon Law as they try to sue the hatchery for bum alligators.; 2:21 PM
E-Bro said...: I was never cautiously optimistic about this season, so Season 2 of ST should be fine. Just fine.

And 2013 came after the Countdown to Clemson debacle, so that demon has been exorcised.; 3:28 PM
michael said...: I've been spending all morning gathering wood for tonight's campfiyah. It should be a doozy!

2051 - Ebro's countdown leads to the Fall of Rome; 9:56 AM
bubbs said...: I've been spending all morning on write jokes for the E-Bro roast at the campfiyah! It's gonna be awesome!

2052 - E-Bro's countdown leads to the Eurasian occupation of the former continent of Rome.; 11:04 AM
michael said...: Me and THT high fived after this play:

http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/cam-newton-comments-lsu-auburn-preview-prediction-odds-hot-seat-rumors-092216

I think the 2010 LSU game is the best offensive performance by an Auburn team I've ever seen. 440 yards rushing against THAT defense? Are you kidding me?; 12:25 PM
bubbs said...: We had a decent team in 2010.

Not so much right now.; 1:05 PM
bubbs said...: 2055 - AU has its first decent team since 2010.; 1:06 PM
E-Bro said...: Can it really be a roast if I'm not there?; 1:10 PM
michael said...: That's a deep metaphysical question, Ebro. Come by the campfiyah tonight and let's discuss it more in depth.

2057 - An ice cream shortage!!!!; 1:26 PM
bubbs said...: I concur. That's a great topic to bring to the fiyah. See you there, E-Bro!

I'm thinking about spending a few days on the Appalachian Trail backpacking. I'm also thinking of having that trip run over into a Saturday this fall. Probably save me some painful TV viewing.

2058 - Yahoo returns the stolen identity information, from 2017, to its users.; 2:09 PM
bubbs said...: Oh man, I put 2017 instead of 2016 (should it really be 2014?). Either way, I think I just made a prophecy. Guys, it might be time to finally move away from Yahoo email and make some other site your homepage.

2059 - Millions of Yahoo users get their identity information mixed up. E-Bro becomes a 73 yr old Chilean living in Quebec. He responds by celebrating his new marital status.; 2:21 PM
E-Bro said...: Need to hit the AT soon bubbs if you want to see the fall colors as hot and dry as it's been this summer.

https://smokymountains.com/fall-foliage-map/

You can already see leaves changing up here in Huntsville. I'll be in Blue Ridge in a month and the past peak line is a little closer to the cabin I'm staying than I want it to be.; 3:31 PM
michael said...: Thanks but no-thanks for that website, Ebro. I'll wait for the official Price-Strother Fall Foliage Map to get the definitive information on leaves changing this fall.

2061 - Beans beans they're good for your heart; 4:47 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "I'll wait for the official Price-Strother Fall Foliage Map to get the definitive information on leaves changing this fall."

Now that is one awesome post!

Haven't seen the yahoo headlines yet. I use a fake name for one account; the other may have real name... I need to get rid of that one.

Can we campfire at the Buy More tonight? That's where I am and where I'll be, stocking shelves all night so I'll be off for a drive to LaGrange tomorrow.

2062 - MrsTHT finally lets me relinquish our season tickets... and we've only been dead 30 years.; 6:14 PM
THT said...: Sorry I wasn't my usual loquacious self at the campfire; The Buy More whupped me up good. We had longer lines of customers than the gas stations around here.

2063 - After an initial growth rate inversely proportional to an exponential decay constant (λ) 5, the %age population using a stolen identity reaches 100. No one knows their own real name. Yahoo settles the last of the 6.5 billion lawsuits.; 12:45 AM
michael said...: Campfiyah was awesome last night! I let THT do most all the talking. Sometimes it's good to just sit and listen, you know?

2064 - and accounting error renews THT's season tickets for 50 additional years.; 10:35 AM
bubbs said...: You know, I thought this Art Briles thing had 0 behind it, but now I'm seeing reports that refute that Art did anything out of sorts. Frankly, I never kept up with the story enough to know what he was supposed to have done wrong.

At any rate, if enough media question his dismissal ... watch out. He may end up being target #1 as our next HC.

2065 - bubbs jr. sneaks into JHS to watch games in THT's seats. Although with little reason. Most seats are empty for the 2065 season. Gus' grandson (Gary) enters his 5th year as HC of AU, and is likely to be fired by season's end.; 2:22 PM
michael said...: I saw some people really upset about Briles being considered for anything in any capacity at Auburn, so I dug around the internet for a couple of minutes (i.e. read his wikipedia page and an article where he said he was sorry, but not what he was sorry about), and I still don't know exactly what he did wrong.

I do have some recollection of seeing tweets back in the day that he came across poorly in an independent report. But again, my painstaking minutes of research hasn't exactly dug specifics up.

2066 - Gary Malzahn, who barely survived the disastrous season before, wins a natty.; 2:39 PM
bubbs said...: Something is a little off about all this mysterious "Art is a bad dude" talk. We've put a collective 5 ... solid 4 minutes of research into it, and can't even find out what he did! This aggression will not stand, man!

I'll not make a judgement on how I feel about Briles yet.

Just over 24 hours until the BuyOut Bowl begins, kids!

2067 - bubbs jr. is arrested for sneaking into THT's seats.; 2:47 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: thanks for doing all that Briles research. Saves me the trouble of trying to muster up any interest in doing so.

Settled into our hotel in LaGrange and watching USC @ Utah. Speaking of Utah, did y'all know that one of the rarest gemstones in the world, red beryl (same chemical formula as emerald but with different impurities causing it to be red) can be found in the Thomas Range and Wah Wah Mountains in Utah? There and a small location in western New Mexico are the only known sources of red beryl in the whole world. Here's an example.

2068 - THT's will is dug out of the bottom of a drawer at the assisted living facility that LB calls home. It clearly states that any member of the ROF (real or honorary) or his/her descendants , are allowed to sit in THT's seats without being subjected to arrest or other annoyance. bubbs jr. sues AU for false arrest and agrees to drop the suit when he is permanently granted 10 seats in the President's Box at JHS.; 9:19 PM
THT said...: they have taken all the fun out of the game at JHS. In addition to the piped in noise they play at ear drum shattering levels, they now have speakers down the entire sideline that blast whatever the AU band is playing at ridiculously high volume. My ears are still ringing. On a good note, the restroom now has AC. It was definitely the most comfortable place in the entire stadium.

Question... who was the real winner of that game?

BTW, the food cooked up by Cincytiger was absolutely the best ever. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; 10:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: The best peach milkshakes in the entire world, made from their homemade peach ice cream and some fresh peach purée. i think there is even some scratch thrown in. They freeze peaches so they can make them all year long, but they are using tree-ripened Autumn Flame peaches right now (not to be confused with the Autumn Flame acorn milkshakes at Toomers Drugstore).

http://www.strawberryhillusa.com/the-shed-on-cooley-farm

2070 - eli Whitney patents the Two Stick Fire Starter. His secret is to use oak sticks from Auburn because they have a special affinity for fire.; 1:04 PM
michael said...: Man, I love a good peach milkshake. Too bad that place is a million miles away from Eurasia.

I'm getting too old for loud noises. If I ever go to an Auburn game again, I think I'll take ear plugs.

I'm real happy about the game from Saturday. I thought there was progress on O, and we won the dang game. Happy times all around.

2071 - Red Beryl, the famous Flying Car inventor, dies of a midway infection; 9:47 AM
E-Bro said...: THT...the replay was clear. Auburn was the real winner.

Oh, you meant on a deeper philosophical level?

Sticking with Auburn as my answer.; 10:09 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I didn't see anything Saturday that was very encouraging. Our defense played well most of the night, but gave up an awful drive at the end of the game. The offense is a bunch of sissies using smoke and mirrors. When it comes down to getting a yard, the entire o-line gets knocked on their butts. If we can avoid 3rd and 2 or less, we have a much better shot. Without question, and apart from coaching, the o-line has been the most disappointing component of the team.

If LSU is looking for an offensive-minded coach, they can have Gus or Rhett. They can even have both.

When MrsTHT drags me down there again, I'll take the noise cancelling headphones two of her neighbors gave her for her birthday. Plus earplugs.

They need to charge that German dude with a hate crime.

2073 -; 11:35 AM
michael said...: SEC West is in the bag, THT. Get onboard!; 12:16 PM
bubbs said...: I'm not quite as down on the team as THT. The OL is a problem, but we ran it up the gut quite a bit with success. And we got several long pass plays in. The play calling wasn't the problem. Our primary problem is not having the right guys on the OL, and a lack of a QB that fits this system. Is that the coaches fault? Mostly, yes. It's not something that can be fixed during the season, though. I guess that's why I'm not so disappointed. They're starting to do alright with what they have.

Defense is solid. No complaints.

If Gus finds a QB for next year (or WB is lights out), he could go on another good run. Wouldn't that be a something? Lots of fans want to fire him, but you can't because he's winning again. Quite the dilemma.

I'm feeling better about my 7 win prediction.; 12:37 PM
E-Bro said...: That (QB) to me is the crux of the issue for Gus and why I'm happy to be patient. I agree our OL could be better, but it's not terrible, and I like where we're at talent-wise at RB (maybe better depth would be nice) and WR.

I can be nit picky about play calling from time to time (still don't want Sean taking snaps inside the red zone or at least the ten yard line), but the biggest problem there is, as bubbs' mentions, the QB does not fit the system.

And that is on Gus, and maybe he needs to start recruiting multiple elite level QBs to see who pans out. I don't think Sean was recruited with the thought that he'd be a starter.

But I'm not ready to fire a guy off because he messed up one time on recruiting a QB when other parts of the program (defense, special teams, and the fact Malzahn teams haven't ever really lacked fight) seem to show promise. If he continues to get the right QB, then I'll jump off the bus, but I still feel like we're a good QB away from winning 10-11 games.; 1:18 PM
michael said...: I basically agree with Ebro and bubbs, though I don't give a pass to Gus for recruiting SW. He was one of three drop back passers in a row that Gus recruited. As I've said for awhile, one of Gus's biggest issues is his delusion that he is a passing guru.

Also, there were dropped passes and missed blocking assignments and other screw ups in the red zone on Saturday. I think maybe the player and not just the coaches are tightening up when we get close. Or it is just a bad run of luck; 1:50 PM
bubbs said...: There is an argument to be made, that basing your system on one position is fool hardy. Not to mention the fact that hitting on a talented QB is alchemy at best. Can Gus' system be successfully adapted to a QB with average talent and still compete in the SEC west? If not, and we keep Gus, it's likely to be a roller coaster of high highs and low averages. It'll drive WERK to an early grave.; 1:51 PM
bubbs said...: re: MJT in the redzone.

I DO think some blame goes to the players. You wonder if it's starting to get in their head that they're "jinxed." There were some critical mistakes that kept us from getting a TD Saturday. If I was RL, I would spend a good deal of extra time repping plays inside the 10 and inside the 5.

Now that I think about it, I'm gonna send him a fax right now.; 1:54 PM
michael said...: If you recruit at a level above everyone else, you can win without a QB. All other programs need a good QB.; 2:09 PM
bubbs said...: Can you quantify that, MJT? I wonder if you can find stats for QBs and show a tight correlation with winning percentage.; 2:36 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I used to think Gus was great at creating a dynamite offense molded to the available talent . I have been proven wrong... again; 2:50 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Don't we have enough talent to run an offene that isn't wholly dependent upon a QB who is a legitimate dual threat?; 2:59 PM
michael said...: Get a load of these stats, bubbs:

3
344
9100
2
7.3
8.4
13-1

Nuff said.; 3:21 PM
E-Bro said...: Are you asking if we're Alabama?; 3:23 PM
E-Bro said...: Last question was for THT.; 3:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: E-Bro, that would be a resounding no

I have another question... Who wants to go to a meeting at work for me in 30 minutes?

Well just hold your horses. I only need one of y'all to go, not everyone.; 4:01 PM
michael said...: I'll be there, THT. Go ahead and take the meeting off.

20BEASLEY!!!!!; 4:25 PM
THT said...: well done, michael.

This borders on inexplicable...

Malzahn was named the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Week by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl

not Butch Jones? not the Colorado coach? not the Wisconsin coach? not Kevin Sumlin? not Hugh Freeze? Ok, there is no border; it is completely inexplicable. I bet the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation also controls the voting for the Nobel Peace Prize.; 1:11 AM
michael said...: Why do you hate Auburn and love UT, Colorado, aTm, and Ole Miss so much, THT?

2090 - the year of catfish; 8:25 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I love me some catfish. I hate that I'm gonna miss out on that one.

Interesting headline in WSJ today... is this how the arsonist ended up in Auburn?
U.S. Companies Turn to German Training Model to Fill Jobs Gap

2091 - the last vestiges of Florida and most of Crimea sink below the sea. Disney World becomes an underwater attraction.; 9:34 AM
bubbs said...: This LSU win is going to make the rest of the season much more interesting. A loss would have made Gus a dead man walking. He's got a clear path to get some wins where he'll easily buy another year (looking at you uga).

2092 - President Justin Bieber unveils his cars for catfish initiative.; 11:09 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 11:35 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: In all the hullabaloo about Les and the arsonist, I completely missed out on the story about The Mustache getting shaved from the ND staff.

Interesting, given Brian Kelly's postgame comments...

How about the defensive coaching leadership?

"Actually, that's probably the one area that I feel better about today... coaching had nothing to do with the outcome" of Saturday's 38-35 loss to Duke. "We did what I wanted today in terms of coaching... we put our defense in a bad situation today and they gave our offense a chance to win, quite frankly..." Defense is "the least of my concerns after today"

2094 - the last docile honey bee dies. If I was still around, I'd thank my lucky stars for my sourwood honey replicator.; 11:36 AM
bubbs said...: I think BVG is an NFL coach. He needs to get out of the college ranks. The kids don't have enough time to learn the complex scheme. I think trying to communicate everything on the field might be an issue with his D, too.

It's funny. There were a lot of people questioning our DC hire. His resume doesn't exactly wow you, and some of it seems like cause for concern. But I've really liked what he's done so far. He got handed a lot of talent, for sure, but they're playing like a well coached D.

2095 - Free admission at the Washington Robot Zoo.; 12:08 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: It's finally here! That's right, we've got Penguins hockey tonight on the radio, and tomorrow night on the tv, patented by Eli Whitney.

2096 - In honor of the Pittsburgh Penguins' 38th Stanley Cup championship, the Washington Robot Zoo releases all robotic penguins into the wild. They feast on Capitals before leaving town.; 12:13 PM
E-Bro said...: Steele has been a pleasant surprise, but please, let's can the prevent defense next time when there's more than two minutes left on the clock. Crossed midfield a bit too easily I thought.; 1:08 PM
michael said...: Fire Steele!; 1:23 PM
E-Bro said...: Seems a bit harsh after four games, MJT.; 3:13 PM
bubbs said...: Hey someone find E-Bro and let him know that Les Miles has hacked his account.; 4:39 PM
michael said...: I live in Huntsville with him, and we hang out all the time. I'll let him know.; 5:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Confucius say man has choice. Man can get much accomplished or man can have dachshund.

2102 - In the Iron Bowl at ua-t, AU defense shuts down the tide for a huge Auburn victory. Due to numerous injuries, AU starts a freshman TE as FB and a 4th string freshman RB by the name of Lyle C. "Sexy" Smith VI.; 7:13 PM
E-Bro said...: MJT failed to bring up my account being hacked at last night's D&D session. Weird.; 10:10 AM
michael said...: When you're slaying a demigorgan, little things like account hacking seem trivial.

2104 - Season 85 of Stranger Things reveals that things aren't actually getting any stranger.; 10:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Just got my eyeglasses prescription updated. Hopefully, I'll be able to more clearly see future gridiron success for Auburn; 11:39 AM
michael said...: At the very least you will be better at passing blurry "Are you a robot?" tests on the internet.

2106 - Season 87 of Stranger Things relies heavily on 2070s nostalgia; 12:16 PM
bubbs said...: Those robot tests always give me existential angst. I mean, sometimes I DO get it wrong. Does that mean I am, indeed, a robot?!? How am I supposed to handle that news?

2107 - Amazon launches Less Strange Things. They intend for it to be a very happy show, but the "Utopian" setting comes across as creepy (think Stepford Wives). It quickly gains a cult following because of the creep factor. Message boards argue about what's really going on beneath the veneer.; 12:56 PM
E-Bro said...: I never click the "I'm not a robot" box anymore and it still lets me post.

Am I...am I a robot?; 2:00 PM
bubbs said...: So, MJT didn't talk to you about that either?; 3:02 PM
bubbs said...: The FPI has us at 8-4 right now.

Might bold prediction by Mr. FPI. Whoever he is.; 3:05 PM
michael said...: No, we had the robot discussion. It just didn't go very well so I erased it from his memory banks.; 3:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: with my new eyeglasses, 8-4 is entirely possible

5-7 is pretty much in the bag; with good fortune we could end up 8-4. Wins against OM and ua-t seem highly improbable.

The arsonist is out of jail. I hope someone beats the crap out of him.; 3:52 PM
michael said...: 5-7 is in the bag huh? I need to get some new sunglasses. I can't take all of THT's sunshine over here!; 4:03 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: I overdosed on "Ambien" this morning.; 10:52 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Fairbanks looking at a high in the 40s today, bubbs. Cloudy with 30% chance of rain. I'd be ok with that, other than you couldn't see Denali or the Northern Lights.

2118 - Some of my ashes, originally spilled in the street on the way home from the crematory, are finally deposited by rain clouds in Alaska. The 1972 Gulf Oil Alaska flag decal is finally stuck on the door with the other 49 + DC.; 11:01 AM
michael said...: I never ever saw the northern lights.
I never really heard of cluster flies.
Never ever saw the stars so bright.
In the farmhouse things will be alright

2119 - Battle of Midway; 11:07 AM
bubbs said...: I'd take that weather, THT.

Never pegged you as a Phish guy, MJT.

2120 - Alaska is reclaimed by Russia.; 11:20 AM
michael said...: Oh yeah. I was quite into jam bands in high school and early college. I always dug Phish going back to 5th grade or so when my friends Jonathan played me "Fee" and "Golgi Apparatus," and I thought they were awesome/hilarious. Junta was one of the first albums I bought when I got a job at Chick fil a at age 14.

Believe it not, our mutual love for jam bands was one of the things that I dug about MrsMJT when I met her. I feel pretty betrayed though, because she only likes terrible music now.

Never seen Phish live, though. In high school my parents wouldn't let me go when they came to Memphis because it was a school night. Unfortunately they were broken up during my main concert-going years (had to settle for String Cheese and others during that time). So I'm the rare Phish fan who owns all their studio albums through Round Room (and even Trey's "Time Turns Elastic") who has never smoked weed or dressed like a hippie or seen them live.

2121 - Halley's Comet is captured and tortured.; 11:43 AM
bubbs said...: Can't say I was ever "in" to jam bands, per se, but I do like Phish. Also like some of Trey's other projects (Oysterhead). They'll be in Nashville in mid October. You should finally go see a show.

Interesting about MrsMJT. Mrs bubbs' musical taste has degraded quite a bit over the years as well. Must be a mom thing.

2122 - Checks are no longer accepted as legal tender.; 12:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: MrsTHT and I have some similar and some not at all similar tastes in music, neither of which have changed since we met in organic chemistry back when the Battle of Midway was in its infancy. Fortunately, we are too old to have fallen prey to the jam bands, though with a song title "Golgi apparatus", I'm going to have to go listen to it now.

MJT, please define "terrible music" as applied to MrsMJT's taste in music.

p.s. Golgi apparatus not at all offensive to the ears, but not worthy of my iTunes library.

Twenty-ONE-TWO-THREE! - Phlounder the biggest hit on Martian Colony Radio; 12:24 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: p.p.s. Right now I'm munching on some Conecuh sausage. I'm guessing y'all aren't. Losers!; 12:34 PM
bubbs said...: Well, I just ate a Twizzler, so IN YOUR FACE, THT!; 12:42 PM
michael said...: bubbs - I have followed the Phish tour dates and considered them, but my concert budget is already blown this year. I saw GNR in Atlanta in July, and I'll be seeing Dylan in October as a surprise birthday present*. I had more disposable income for music at age 19 than I do now, honestly.

THT, terrible music is pretty much all the modern popular stuff with a dance beat, like Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor and whatever. Top 40 stuff I guess. And MrsMJT has poisoned the children with this music too, so it's what they want. I have made some headway with the youngest two with Guns n Roses (my 5yo girl in particular is obsessed with "Paradise City," which is a hoot).

2125 - the last conecuh pig is killed by poachers, ending conecuh sausage forever.

*the wife apparently bought tickets using our credit card. I do the monthly budget and saw the purchase. Currently playing dumb.; 12:45 PM
bubbs said...: I've seen Dylan. Not disappointed in doing so. The musicians with him are awesome, as well as their instruments. It was years ago, but I assume the same holds true for now. However, I will say this: get familiar with current lyrics before you go. Otherwise, you wont understand a single word of what he's singing.

I seldom get to a show these days, either. Mostly because it's not just the price of the ticket. It has to be a date, which means dinner and a baby$itter. So even a decently priced ticket (~$20-30) ends us being a serious investment.

Same for Mrs. bubbs. Radio play garbage.

2126 - Dylan plays at Midway.; 12:53 PM

E-Bro said...: Speaking of Phish...

http://www.npr.org/2016/09/29/495514341/first-listen-phish-big-boat

Don't make it to many concerts myself, but I do go to Bonnaroo every year which works as a sort of catch-all experience for me, for better or worse.

Only other concert I've been to this year was St. Paul and the Broken Bones when they came through Hville back in the winter. Would've liked to have checked out Pilgrimage Fest in Franklin last weekend, but was too busy.

I know B'ham gets a lot of good acts and isn't a long drive, but wish more quality small acts would find their way through this part of North Alabama.; 1:28 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I never knew that Dilbert's Scott Adams was a hypnotist.; 1:28 PM
michael said...: Back in 02 or so I actually traveled up to Huntsville from Auburn to see Widespread panic (fun story I don't have time to tell - my roommate and I actually kinda scammed WEGL late at night to get free tickets to that concert as well as an Ani Difranco concert (the Ani Difranco concert actually has it's own story as well. Maybe I'll tell it sometime too)). At the time I figured it must be normal for Huntsville must get some pretty good bands... but it turns out that is not generally the case.

WP crowd is the weirdest concert crowd ever, by the way. About half hippie stoners and half drunk frat bros. And then there was me (liked WP but not a huge fan or anything) and Stenny, who was a member of some online "Sober Panic Fans" group.; 1:47 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "I may have squealed slightly", 2.0 during her drive home from Raleigh, spotting an 18-wheeler Blue Bell Truck

2132 - Listeria-flavored ice cream part of a heart healthy diet, according to news release by the AHA.; 2:07 PM
bubbs said...: You should go to this, THT: http://www.atlasobscura.com/events/obscura-society-dc-cut-it-off-an-amputation-demonstration

Lemme know how it goes.

2133 - Listeria laced spice becomes a big issue for student athletes.; 4:39 PM
michael said...: "Guests 21+ only, please.
This adventure is PG (it’s gonna be gory). "

It sounds to me like it's even a little strong for 1970s era PG (when Jaws was a PG movie)

Which, by the way, we were watching Back to the Future 2 last night with the kids, and boy that had some strong language for a PG movie. We had to turn it off.

I remember BTTF 3 wasn't as bad, so we'll give that one a go tomorrow. Always liked that one a lot better than 2 anyway.

2134 - Halley's comet collides into earth; 5:13 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Halley's comet was a radical terrorist that never should have been released from Gitmo.

Campfire is going strong tonight!; 8:28 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: bubbs, I have one question: Why?; 8:58 PM
bubbs said...: My bad. I thought I read that they'd be serving Blue Bell during the event. Perhaps not.

2135 - Back to the Future XXVI gets an "R" rating for several uses of the word "dadgumit."; 9:02 AM
THT said...: you missed a spirited campfire last night, bubbs. All the important people were there.; 9:25 AM
bubbs said...: Probably why I wasn't there!

Besides, I was busy watching Longmire.; 9:34 AM
michael said...: We talked in great length about ticks and amputation. But now all we have are embers; 9:52 AM
E-Bro said...: Oh my god, if you get a tick on your arm does the doctor have to amputate?

Haha, well jokes on you suckers since I'm a robot and I can just get a Luke Skywalker bio-mechanical one to replace it.; 10:09 AM
bubbs said...: Do you have anything to amputate, E-Bro, or is your perception of limbs/physical form just a construct of your software hmmmmmm?; 10:17 AM
E-Bro said...: If it I didn't have limbs, what was I using to roll dice the other night at D&D with MJT?; 1:33 PM
michael said...: The actual clip isn't all that funny, but knowing that Ozzy accidentally texted Robert Plant just makes me so happy

Detectorists Season 2 is now on Netflix; 5:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Unfortunately, it will be 2018 (if ever) before we might see Season 3 of The Detectorists; 8:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I can't remember if the 7th episode for Season 2, a 30 minute Christmas special was part of the original release on Acorn TV. I'll have to watch it (again?) as soon as 2.0 and MrsTHT stop watching Poldark

7. Christmas Special
Andy takes a break from voluntary work overseas to witness Lance's latest, possibly valuable, find - which attracts local media attention.; 8:33 PM
michael said...: Hey THT, you'll be proud of my 7yo son. At the MJT house, we always get whatever ice cream is on sale. Usually that means Breyers or Mayfield or Publix brand or what have you... but maybe twice a year that means Blue Bell. I just happened to get some Blue Bell a few months ago.

Anyway, as my son was digging into some Publix brand ice cream last night, he said to me, "Dad, can you get the ice cream in the yellow thing with the farmer on it again? That tastes the best." We apparently have a listeria-lovin Blue Bell fan (who enjoys hershey syrup as well)(but all the brownies we eat are without a bit of scratch); 9:36 AM
E-Bro said...: Don't know what to make of the back-to-back parenthesis, MJT. Surely some international Oxford bracket law was violated there.; 1:12 PM
michael said...: You got to get your mind right Ebro and be ready for as many parentheses as are needed in any sentence; 1:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: MJT, your 7yo has my utmost respect and admiration. In honor of his superb and discriminating taste, I will cancel my plan not to add a big bowl of Homemade Vanilla with Hershey's to the large serving of cornbread and maple syrup I ate for dessert. Besides, it's been 2 hours, so I think it's past time for another dessert.

bubbs, we were oh so very close to going to Alaska next month. I just checked airfares and found ORD-->FAI and FAI-->RDU for $440 (MrsTHT and I will already be in Chicago). Unfortunately, when I tried to purchase the 3 of us tickets, Alaska Airlines only had one seat at that price and the other ticket would have been more expensive and on different flights, so I didn't purchase them. MrsTHT left tonight for BSF thinking I was about to purchase tickets to Alaska. She'll probably feign disappointment when she finds out I didn't get them. I think she has her heart set on us flying home from Chicago to RDU and then hopping in the car to drive to AU for the Vandy game.; 7:18 PM
Unknown said...: Oh my. It lives.; 7:36 PM
michael said...: Yeah baby. It goes on and on and on and on; 9:06 AM
Unknown said...: Glad to see THT still bringing it. I hadn't seen him in forever.; 9:33 AM
E-Bro said...: Have you ever seen any of us?; 10:02 AM
Unknown said...: It depends on what the meaning of the word seen is.; 10:39 AM
michael said...: I've seen THT! Nananabooboo!

I'm also going on a secret trip to Alaska with his family that I'm supposed to keep real quiet.; 11:04 AM
bubbs said...: We're gonna make it to Alaska one day, THT.; 11:14 AM
bubbs said...: Jokes on you, MJT. You can't get to Alaska from Eurasia. Not possible.; 11:14 AM
E-Bro said...: Can he see it from there, though?; 1:17 PM
michael said...: Did I build a wall between Alaska and Eurasia, making it impossible to get to Alaska from Eurasia? Sure I did. So from that perspective you are right, bubbs.

Did I build a secret door in the wall that only I know about? Maybe. Do I have the only secret key to the secret door? You betcha, baby! So can I walk to and from Alaska as I please, capturing Kodiak Bears and stealing magic Denali rocks as I see fit? Ummm yeah I sure can as a matter of fact.; 1:22 PM
bubbs said...: Did MJT just admit to being Donald Trump?; 1:38 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm sure michael knows more about the magic Denali rocks than the Inuits.; 3:13 PM
michael said...: The point of my wall isn't as much about keeping immigrants out (strangely enough not many immigrants want to come to Eurasia). It's more about keeping the ostriches in.; 3:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: one day those ostriches are gonna get all juiced up and fly over that wall; 3:24 PM
michael said...: That's certainly the hope, yes. One of the main goals of the border wall is to destroy the Alaskan economy with flying ostriches.; 4:00 PM
bubbs said...: Well, if you're goal is to make an Ostrich Air Force I hope you built the wall with cheese and lined it with mothballs.; 4:31 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jimbo Fisher is an idiot.; 9:00 AM
bubbs said...: TGWOS; 9:47 AM
Unknown said...: Jimbo Fisher is brilliant. He hasn't even been hired as the LSU coach and he is one step ahead of the game. He is rolling out the excuses early.; 1:13 PM
bubbs said...: Jimbo might actually end up at LSU. I was thinking they'd pony up and get Tom Herman, but it sounds like Texas will make a run at him. And he'd rather be there. So Jimbo is a logical option as they almost hired him last year.; 1:44 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: SFC! Glad to see it wasn't just a hit and run yesterday.

Unknown said...: Glad to see all of you doing well and surviving the political season. I am going to miss Les Miles, by the way. Here is hoping LSU follows the Tennessee model.; 3:17 PM
bubbs said...: Yeah, it wouldn't bother me to see LSU sucking wind for a decade or so. You'd think we'd get some of those recruits.

'course, we might wanna worry about our own house before casting scorn on theirs.; 4:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I've never thought footballscoop.com was necessary this early in the season... until now.

Here are some interesting quotes from them.

Les Miles: Les appeared on Colin Cowherd’s show and said, in typical Les speak, on his desire to coach again, “I’m very active in seeing what the lay of the land is for the future.”

LSU: Interim head coach Ed Orgeron tells ESPN that “this thing here, I’m going to get it,” as long as they continue to take care of business and the difference between LSU and his 6-2 stint as the USC interim head coach is “they want me here at LSU. I never felt in my heart that they wanted me at USC until the very end.”; 4:48 PM

michael said...: Who is coaching Auburn next year, Tar Heel Tiger??; 10:16 AM
Unknown said...: Beat MSU and Arkansas and I think Gus will be fine.; 10:33 AM
michael said...: That is certainly the reasonable position. What I'm really looking for, though, is a THT "Fearless prediction" as crazy as having Lane Kiffin going back to USCw; 10:43 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Scotty Walden; he's in the bag.; 11:29 AM
michael said...: Lock him in for 30 years. he's a keeper!; 11:38 AM
bubbs said...: Never heard of him, but he's really turned that program around. THT should start is own coaching search consulting business.; 12:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: A more fiscally sound approach would be to hire Kevin Steele as HC and see if he can hire Scotty Walden as OC.

Of course, if GM can win 3/4 of SEC games amongst Vandy, MSU, Arky, and Georgia, he'll be 7-5 and safe for another year.; 3:00 PM
michael said...: You know who could always win 3/4 SEC games?; 3:03 PM
michael said...: 21BEASLEY!!!!!; 3:03 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: actually, he won 76% of conference games during his soph/jr/sr seasons.; 3:36 PM
michael said...: Exceeds expectations!; 3:38 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Maybe we can make that a requirement of our HC?; 3:44 PM
bubbs said...: That our HC exceed expectations or did well their sph/jr/sr seasons?; 5:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: It's H!!!

Tar Heel Tiger said...: sorry about that, michael. I'm old and sick and had to sleep. Besides, the campfire was probably so crowded that I wouldn't have gotten a word in edgewise.

That WKY @ LaT game would have been a lot of fun to watch.

Jimmy, unfortunately, map time won't be until I get out of prison. That site is blocked for reasons unknown.; 9:39 AM

Have to see if any of my lineage can be traced to Russia.

Oh wait, I'm a robot. Carry on.; 10:14 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Florida-LSU: LSU AD Joe Alleva said on local radio Friday morning the game will not be made up this season.

Sounds like they intend to play a double-header next season. That would be cool. A 12 Noon game in Gainesville and an 8 pm game in BTR.; 10:43 AM
Unknown said...: Well, I wonder how they figure that in with the division standings? Are Florida and LSU not elligible? Florida is probably the second best in the East and who knows what could happen with LSU. Coach O may have more Cajun voodoo than Les Miles, and that is saying something.; 10:53 AM
