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.

"Don't dream small dreams. There is no magic in them."

-Bobby Lowder's dad, I think.; 10:21 AM
bubbs said...: "Don't dream smell dreams. There's no money in them."

-Jimmy Sexton, I think.; 10:24 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "Don't dream. There's no rest in them."
Thomas Jefferson; 1:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: yes, bubbs, it will be a crying shame if my recent discovery of AU's 2016 football season gets washed away in Oxford.

I think we'll beat them like a tom tom. Is it still ok to beat tom toms?; 1:06 PM
michael said...: No THT. I am very offended right now.; 1:12 PM
E-Bro said...: Speaking as a former percussionist, we prefer to play or bang on tom toms.; 1:28 PM
E-Bro said...: Who am I kidding? I'm still a percussionist. I just mostly play on the car steering wheel these days is all.; 1:29 PM
E-Bro said...: I can play every note of "Everlong" on the steering wheel. Every. Note.; 1:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: E-Bro is a deplorable tom tom beater. At least he's not a nasty woman.

LB sent me a SMS yesterday.

"I'm about to hop in the shower and then go vote. Then come home and shower again"

michael, save some offense for those politically incorrect folks who beat depression and beat cancer.; 2:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: why do we always have to wait until November for Tues & Wed night MAC football?; 4:59 PM
michael said...: There's really no way to know, THT; 5:22 PM
THT said...: another Tuesday night has passed without college football :(

at least the Penguins overcame another 0-2 deficit for a 3-2 win tonight. And Crosby played for the first time... and of course had a goal.; 10:43 PM
E-Bro said...: Happy Birthday, Steve.; 7:51 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: SFC is birthdaying today? Are we going to have cake and ice cream?; 8:36 AM
Unknown said...: Thanks, E-Bro. This last trip around the sun was pretty darn good.

The Ole Miss game is yuge. We will learn if this team can handle success. Too often you see teams have a big game, suddenly be back, and then leave again the week after. Hopefully Auburn will be back a bit longer than that.; 9:18 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: We're going to have to overcome the kumbaya effect of an Ole Miss players only meeting yesterday.
https://www.seccountry.com/mississippi/report-ole-miss-holds-players-only-meeting-tuesday; 9:36 AM
bubbs said...: Happy Bday, SFC!; 9:56 AM
bubbs said...: This game is making me nervous, THT. If the first quarter goes our way, that player meeting stuff goes out the window, but you don't want to give a team like that hope.

On the plus side, the FPI likes us to win this one. And Vegas.; 10:00 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm just happy that I'm now in a position where I'll be surprised if we lose.; 10:18 AM
Unknown said...: Thanks Bubbs.

Ole Miss tends to come out strong and fade as the game goes along. Auburn players need to realize this and not worry about what happens early.

As for player meetings, once they get punched in the mouth, they won't be concerned with the meeting.

I am not really worried about what Ole Miss does. I believe they have a couple of offensive linemen beat up. That means everyone should consider sending flowers to Chad Kelly.

I worry more about how Auburn reacts to success. If they believe how great they are from all the recent media attention, Auburn is in real trouble.; 10:19 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: If we don't stumble against OM, VU, or GA, we'll end up 10-2 and headed to ATL if LSU can beat aTm.; 10:24 AM
Unknown said...: At this point I am not concerned at all about Vandy or Georgia, other than Smart's safety.

Before the season I thought Texas A&M was the crucial game. It turns out LSU was. But Arkansas comes in second, with Ole Miss third.

I already consider this season a success. With the number of young players we are playing, things are looking up. It is too soon to call Malzahn safe, but he should be. Most of the skill players on offense are sophomores or freshmen. The defense is also pretty young, although some very good linemen will be gone after this season. Fortunately there are other good linemen to step up.; 10:44 AM
Unknown said...: Breaking News: Pat Dye confirms that Auburn played well against Arkansas. Here is a link to prove it. Oh, and apparently we aren't allowed to carry over any points from the Arkansas game and apply them to Ole Miss.

http://www.scout.com/college/auburn/story/1721170-dye-gest-tigers-continuing-to-grow; 11:18 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: We don't need to carry over points. We should beat each of our next 4 opponents by 17 or more points, and then win the Iron Bowl by our usual <10.; 11:24 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: sorry, didn't mean to offend michael. We'll treat each of our next 4 opponents to a valuable learning experience wherein they learn to cope with large margins of nonvictory.; 1:28 PM
michael said...: Thank you THT. It really does offend me when people use "less than" signs. Why do we have to compare things so much???; 3:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm thick-skinned. Your hyper-interrogation does not offend me.; 3:24 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Thanks to Tommy Tuberville Iowa's Kirk Ferentz would be owed $25 MILLION if fired.; 3:46 PM
Unknown said...: Apparently LSU's strategy in defeating Bama revolves around talking a lot of trash before the game. Let's see how that works out for them.; 9:24 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: LSU's home record against ua-t is "deplorable". They could whisper sweet nothings in bama's ear and it wouldn't matter.; 10:03 AM
Unknown said...: But you are talking pre-CoachO. Bama has never faced anything like Coach O, other than the times where they beat him like a drum as the head coach at Ole Miss. Other than that, they haven't been able to touch him.; 10:32 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: it's awesomely chilly in Chicago. We missed CFA breakfast biscuits by 5 minutes, so we went around the corner and had a Ghiardelli ice cream sundae. It was nice, but Blue Bell and Hershey's is better.; 11:31 AM
michael said...: ice cream makes for a healthy breakfast, that's for sure; 5:04 PM
Unknown said...: Only if you get the ice cream that covers multiple food groups, like rocky road or something. Vanilla just won't cut it.; 5:11 PM
E-Bro said...: Happy Birthday, MJT.; 7:50 AM
bubbs said...: I hope you have an appropriately terrible Bday, MJT.; 10:03 AM
michael said...: Thank you for all your kind birthday wishes, you bunch of idiots.

THT, why didn't you campfiyah last night!?!?; 12:07 PM
Unknown said...: Congratulations on making it around the sun one more time, Michael.; 12:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: after dinner at Chick-fil-A we went to Hershey is where I got a chocolate sundae that was three times larger than jeer deli's and less than half the price. I went back to the hotel room and promptly fell asleep.; 3:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I guess I'm a genius since I didn't say Happy Birthday; 3:33 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I won't be asleep tonight!
http://www.chicagomapfair.com/; 3:37 PM
bubbs said...: THT, all they have going on is the cocktail reception, and it ends at 730. I really think you should be able to sleep some. Eat another huge bowl of ice cream and send yourself into coma till 10AM tomorrow.; 4:54 PM
Unknown said...: Suddenly an Ole Miss game that was an pretty even matchup is looking like a must win. So many think Auburn should kill Ole Miss that a loss would suddenly have people questioning whether Auburn is really back. Time to go bear hunting. This game is suddenly yuge.; 7:35 PM
THT said...: I had another huge sundae at the Hershey's place, this time with Reese's peanut butter cups and Hershey's syrup. It was yummy. Thankfully(?), I'm having bad back spasm so I can't fall into a coma just yet and maybe I can get some work done.; 10:34 PM
Unknown said...: Congrats to Ole Miss. They are about to become the best five loss team in the country.; 9:32 AM
THT said...: We look absolutely awful. Our defense is completely worthless.; 8:24 PM
Jimmy said...: Leff springs Pettway!; 9:30 PM
Unknown said...: Well, that was a bit tougher than anticipated. Impressive offensive performance, but Kelly is sure one heck of a QB.; 10:14 PM
THT said...: You're welcome. I stopped watching the game about 5 minutes into the 3rd qtr; crawled in bed and pretended I was asleep while MrsTHT kept watching on the laptop. (Thank you Sling TV for 7 day free trial! ESPN Watch web site would never load.) It killed me to just listen to the rest of the game, but I couldn't risk y'all blaming me for watching.

How 'bout them Cowboys! What a great day for all the folks in Laramie.

Looks like FSU will stay ahead of us barring some dramatic turn of events.; 10:20 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Go Tigers!

Go 'Pokes!

Go Pens!

WARRRRRRR EAGLE!!!; 10:41 AM
bubbs said...: Thanks for letting us win that one, THT.

How was the Dylan show, MJT?; 9:28 AM
E-Bro said...: Expensive if I had to guess based on my previous Dylan concert.; 10:54 AM
michael said...: True Ebro. I think it was 100 bucks a ticket maybe?

My exclusive review for jaygtate.blogspot.com:

It was great! Backing band was great. It was in a very small venue, so there were no bad seats.

You just kind of have to know what to expect... most of the classics he played only had a faint resemblance to their original forms, but they were still great to hear. His songs from the last 15 years or so that he's written with his current range was some of the best stuff. I wish I had known he wasn't going to play guitar any, because I sat there the whole time hoping he'd do at least a couple of songs with just him on his guitar the way he would do concerts in the 70s, but alas I guess Bob doesn't strum any more. He was great on the piano, though, and the one time he played harmonica he killed it. He also has funny dance moves. And he was shorter than I expected.; 3:42 PM
E-Bro said...: Doesn't look like an exclusive review.; 4:52 PM
THT said...: Spent the day at what is very likely the largest private map collection in the country. Over 3,000 wall maps. Hundreds and hundreds of pocket maps. Hundreds and hundreds of atlases and books with maps. It was a very fun day.; 7:45 PM
E-Bro said...: Was it Rand McNally's private collection?; 7:46 AM
bubbs said...: THT can't talk about it. It was a very secret viewing.

Did they have the Marauder's Map, THT?; 10:35 AM
michael said...: Did you swipe any, THT? If they have that many maps, they probably wouldn't miss a couple.; 10:35 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: not Rand or McNally. This dude makes bolts for airplanes.; 10:56 AM

Jimmy said...: This is all that matters

Robert Leff is "playing his best football" as a senior, Malzahn said; 11:47 AM
Unknown said...: Apparently the football team didn't get michael's memo. They are referring to Sean White as Rambo, when clearly his nickname is Grit Laser. Grit Laser is a much better nickname for a QB.; 11:50 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'll be honest... unlike Hillary. When the "Leff Turns" thread was started on Hv2.0, I did not anticipate the great Leff would be a starter onthe OL. ...And not just a default starter, but a very deserving starter. Well done, Mr. Leff!; 12:32 PM
michael said...: My only question was would Leff allow Malzahn to start him? He must be feeling especially benevolent this season.; 1:15 PM
bubbs said...: I dunno. I think it might be empathy. Gus was looking pretty lost last year and beginning of this one. The hugging of the clip board was not a good look. I think Leff took pity on the man.; 1:17 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "He must be feeling especially benevolent this season."

Now i'm really looking forward to Christmas.
(Siri offered "voting" in place of Christmas. Perhaps that would have worked if I was talking about going to the dentist.); 1:23 PM
Unknown said...: Apparently Leff is one of the best run blocking tackles in the country. Who would have ever thunk it?; 2:05 PM
bubbs said...: All of HABOTN; that's who.; 2:16 PM
E-Bro said...: Well, we're basically Run Blocking Tackle U.; 4:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: sitting at O'Hare waiting for our AA flight and hoping it isn't like the AA plane that "Samsunged" on the runway here a few days ago. Looking forward to the game. Someone order me up some cool weather!; 10:17 AM
E-Bro said...: I don't know about cool weather, but it will be a little cooler on Saturday than it's been. Think it was close to 90 last Saturday in Auburn. Looks to be around 75 this Saturday.; 1:07 PM
Unknown said...: At times, we have had trouble with early games. What is the over/under on how early it would have to be for Vandy to win?; 1:49 PM
THT said...: 03:00:02 EDT; 6:39 PM
bubbs said...: I like the Washington match up.

Frankly, anyone other than Clemson would be welcomed by me.; 9:23 AM
Unknown said...: The video at the following link is well worth watching.

http://auburn.247sports.com/Bolt/Youll-be-moved-to-tears-by-Auburns-tribute-to-David-Ross-47867520; 10:50 AM
michael said...: I watched an entire baseball game on TV last night. Been a long long long time since I've done that. Probably mid 90s.; 12:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I don't want to be moved to tears. I'll watch it later when no one can see me cry like a baby.

I'd have preferred one of the Arizonas or LAw schools; UW will be a big challenge if CP is still coaching there.; 12:58 PM
Unknown said...: Well, it seems the CFP committee values a close loss more than beating up on cupcakes. I like the idea of playing Washington.; 1:25 PM
Unknown said...: Here is a fun fact. Auburn has lost the last two games against Vanderbilt. Those games were in 2008 and 2012.

Can anyone think of what else happened in both those years?; 2:10 PM
michael said...: Coach firings and elections. Fun years all around!; 2:35 PM
bubbs said...: So are you guys trying to say we're gonna lose?

Bummer.; 2:44 PM
michael said...: Maybe the connection is all about a Democrat being elected?

Say hello to President Trump, everyone!; 3:02 PM
michael said...: 24BEASLEY!!!!; 3:13 PM
THT said...: superb, michael.

Word of advice: As good as Chili's Philly cheese steak is, Spanky's barbecue is bad to a similar amplitude. My tummy is sick. It needs to get better before we stop at Lexington Barbecue for an early lunch tomorrow.

At early voting center today, UNC students who live in dorms were registering and voting. They were told to use their dorm address. I wonder how many of them voted in their home county using their home address. I also wonder why on earth they are allowed to vote on local (county) bond referendums (i.e. tax increases) when they aren't permanent residents of this county. As someone once said, "The system's rigged!"; 4:01 PM
Unknown said...: Hmm, I had only thought about the coach firings. The fact that those are years we rotate idiots in the White House never occurred to me.; 4:17 PM
michael said...: Never trust a cook named Spanky, THT.; 4:28 PM
Jimmy said...: https://twitter.com/adriennelaf/status/794269966749024256; 4:44 PM
michael said...: Which one bothers you the most? I think the soup spoon one got me.; 5:36 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jimmy, you aren't being a very nice host tonight :(; 11:43 PM
bubbs said...: For sure the soup spoon, although the DVD was a nice nod to The Office.; 9:11 AM
E-Bro said...: If I keep watching it, pretty sure all the dominos will fall eventually.; 9:17 AM
michael said...: According to Facebook, I joined Facebook 12 years ago today. When did you join Ebro? One of us has to be the longest tenured Facebook Hottie.; 10:47 AM
bubbs said...: There's really no way to know, MJT.; 11:45 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Harrison and I invented Facebook.; 12:45 PM
bubbs said...: Well, that really complicates the issue.; 12:50 PM
michael said...: I just don't even believe that claim to be honest; 1:23 PM
bubbs said...: I don't care if you believe me or not; it really does complicate the issue, MJT.; 1:26 PM
E-Bro said...: I joined early 2006.

Had spent Fall 2005 living in London and the people I met there gave me a hard time for not already being on it because they weren't able to facebook stalk me before I started my Parliamentary internship. So I joined shortly after returning home to stay in touch with those crazy Brits I met.

I was vaguely aware of its existence towards the end of my senior year (2004) at Auburn, but wasn't cool enough to join.; 1:32 PM
bubbs said...: So I think that rules out E-Bro since he joined after THT and Harrison invented FB.

I think I'm the only Hottie who is still without a FB account.; 1:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: We invented it but we never created accounts for ourselves. Harrison and i communicate via DryEraseBoard. Did i ever tell y'all how yummy the peach milkshakes are in Gaffney?; 2:07 PM
bubbs said...: What's a peach milkshake?; 4:33 PM
michael said...: The original peach milkshake can be found at Chick fil a during certain parts of the year.; 5:05 PM
bubbs said...: Was it though? Was it the original, MJT?; 5:13 PM
michael said...: Yes, bubbs. Do you know how you can know that for sure? Because I said it is. That's how.; 5:30 PM
Unknown said...: What gets THT excited?

http://all-that-is-interesting.com/authagraph-world-map; 6:46 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: That's a very cool map.

30minutes and we'll finally arrive in Huguley. My gallbladder delayed us for 4 hrs in Newnan. Did I ever tell y'all that those awesome peach milkshakes taste awful when they pass through your mouth in the opposite direction?; 11:03 PM
Unknown said...: That map really shows how incredibly small Europe is compared to the rest of the world.; 10:34 AM
Unknown said...: Congrats to JF3 fans. You finally got what you requested.; 12:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: even though there was no internet in prison today, it doesn't look like I missed anything; 4:16 PM
michael said...: we say it best when we say nothing at all; 9:31 AM
E-Bro said...: That smile on your face, tho.; 10:07 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: No Pettway, No Trump, No Smile; 10:16 AM
Unknown said...: Trump had a real shot until he mentioned something about criminals and rapist Hispanics. After that, it was pretty much over.; 11:48 AM
bubbs said...: You know the real winner of Halloween? Whoever likes Tootsie Rolls. Lots of supply and almost no demand for those things.; 12:10 PM
bubbs said...: You know the real winner of Halloween? Whoever likes Tootsie Rolls. Lots of supply and almost no demand for those things.; 12:10 PM
michael said...: 20 years ago, we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Steve Jobs.
Now we got no Pettway, no ankles, and no shoulders; 12:44 PM
michael said...: Lemme see dat tootsie roll; 12:44 PM
bubbs said...: Yeah, but we still got Bob Dylan!; 12:59 PM
michael said...: Yeah but his feet aren't as traction-y as they once were.; 2:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: and his arms are too short.; 3:43 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm ok with a slight smile this morning. My smile would be 10 times bigger if KP was healthy.; 5:34 AM
bubbs said...: I'll steal a quote from twitter: It's Nov 9th; Jesus is still on the Throne (&) the Church still has the same mission.

Pretty positive the source would have tweeted the same thing, regardless of how the POTUS race panned out. I feel the same.

With that being said, I'm more interested in the health of KP/GL.; 8:44 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Is Greg Louganis ill?; 9:10 AM
bubbs said...: Are you not aware that Grit Laser is playing with a bum shoulder?!?; 9:43 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Quoting Gus, "I didn't say it was his shoulder."; 9:53 AM
bubbs said...: Quoting bubbs, "You didn't say it wasn't either."; 10:15 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: true dat. Gus sounded like a NHL coach in his post-game press conference on Saturday, except I don't think he even went so far as to reveal it to be "an upper body injury". About all Gus would say about anyone was that they were "banged up".

Speaking of the NHL, how 'bout them Penguins with another 3rd period come-from-behind win last night. Go Pens!; 10:30 AM
bubbs said...: We always got the Pens, THT. We always got the Pens.; 11:23 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I listen to the free radio broadcast over the internet on penguins.nhl.com . I'm too cheap to pay for the tv broadcast. Go Pens!; 11:31 AM
Unknown said...: Auburn can beat Alabama. I have proof. Look at what happened last night, assuming I am not hallucinating.; 11:39 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: SFC, you must have turned off the TV too early. Western Michigan remains undefeated after their come-from-behind road win over Kent State. The Golden Flash deserved to lose for two reasons:
1. Their nickname.
2. Their pathetic looking FieldTurf field. It was so beat up that it almost looked like real grass.; 12:02 PM
Unknown said...: Ironically, I did go to bed early, just after 8:00. But about 9:30 I got up for a bio-break. Just for kicks I turned on the news for a second to check out the train wreck. I didn't get back to bed until about 4:00 am.; 12:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: we've got more MAC entertainment tonight:
Bowling Green at Akron 8:00 pm EST on ESPNU
Northern Illinois vs. Toledo 8:00 pm EST on ESPN2

For even better entertainment, I'll be tuned to the NBCSN watching Blues & Blackhawks; 1:44 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Gary Danielson: 'If I was Gus Malzahn, I'd want to play 10 other teams in SEC rather than Georgia'
Two things give me hope:
1. the game is in Athens where we are way overdue
2. Malzahn wouldn't be 'surprised' if Kamryn Pettway plays against Georgia

I hope he's not just trying to mess with UGA's defensive game planning.

Auburn will practice players hurdling line to block field goals

I'm guessing they better do it soon, cause it's likely to be illegal next year.; 1:48 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: this is AUsome!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cw0tnfhWIAMYTuk.jpg:large; 1:50 PM
bubbs said...: Listen to me, THT, KP will not play Saturday. I don't want to believe it either, but it's the reality. He'll dress out, go through warm ups, and proceed to sit on the bench the entire game.; 1:50 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: That's exactly what I suspect... probably until the bowl game or A-Day game.; 1:58 PM
bubbs said...: I hope he makes it back for bammer. That's my optimistic outlook. Otherwise, I think it's an early January bowl game when we see him next.; 2:14 PM
Unknown said...: Georgia is real scary if Pettway and KJ are both injured. I love how White has played, but there has to be some balance. Pettway has been better by having White as a threat, but the opposite is also very true. The only other health big back seems to be Cox, but from what I understand, he has been full time at h-back recently.; 2:39 PM
E-Bro said...: I think he'll at least be standing on the sidelines rather sitting on the bench.; 3:30 PM
michael said...: I think he will sit in a bean bag on the sideline.; 4:14 PM
bubbs said...: We had a beanbag bench in '47. It was super comfortable, and all the players liked it. However, when we played uga that year it caused a problem. Near the end of the game, uga received a punt and started their drive. It only took them three plays to score a touchdown. The problem was that almost the entire D Line couldn't get off the bench. We played that series with 9 players on defense.

"Beans don't belong on our benches!" - Thomas Jefferson, AU President

The BBBs were promptly replaced with the old, hard benches. It's also why canned beans aren't allowed on the sidelines at AU games.

True story.; 4:34 PM
michael said...: That's actually how we got the phrase "War Eagle" too. 'cause of bean bag benches.; 5:06 PM
THT said...: I call baloney on your story, bubbs. Everyone knows that, in 1947, TJ was President of API.; 6:21 PM
bubbs said...: You'll have to listen to Paul Harvey to get the rest of the story on that particular issue, THT.; 8:39 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I was just on Paul Harvey Drive last week. I didn't hear a thing.

Because GM had absolutely no idea 3 days before the election...
One day following the election, GM announces they will lay off 2,000 Workers at Two U.S. Plants (but not their Mexico plants); 9:01 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Injured Auburn running back Kamryn Pettway upgraded to 'day-to-day' with leg injury

just another tease? Maybe KP heals like Logan.; 9:04 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: just so y'all know, I have no earthly idea who will win in Athens on Saturday. Is it in a bag somewhere?; 10:19 AM
bubbs said...: I hope someone on our side double bagged it.; 10:29 AM
michael said...: Lemme check...; 10:40 AM
michael said...: Just confirmed: the game is in the bag; 10:40 AM
bubbs said...: Plastic or paper?; 10:42 AM
michael said...: body; 10:57 AM
Unknown said...: I won't be satisfied until Pettway is upgraded to minute-to-minute. Am I scared of Georgia? You bet. I don't trust them one bit.; 10:58 AM
bubbs said...: HEY, SARA! MJT IS SECRETLY GLAD YOU GET RID OF ALL HIS JUNK!; 11:03 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Duke @ UNC tonight. Go Chiz Heels!

Tomorrow night is AU basketball. I hope I can find "SEC Network+" on my TV. I'm not sure what the plus stands for.; 11:30 AM
michael said...: you better shut that smelly mouth of yours, bubbs!; 11:49 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: bubbs's been eating onions? That's gross!; 1:50 PM
bubbs said...: I've been breathing on your phone for the last 15 minutes, THT.; 2:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I need an unlisted number.; 2:35 PM
bubbs said...: No seriously. Smell your cell phone. It smells like onions, doesn't it?; 2:41 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I won't go near that thing. I'll just get a stick and push it off the desk into a trash can.; 2:52 PM
THT said...: This is nuts.

Gene Chizik isn't earning his keep at UNC... Is he still on AU's payroll?; 10:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: We are 10 hours and a couple of minutes away from tipoff. GO TIGERS!!!; 10:27 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: U-G-L-Y. Our season is a bell-shaped curve, which means the end is not going to be pretty.; 5:33 PM
bubbs said...: I have plans this weekend, and I'm looking for some other commitment to keep me from watching the iron bowl.; 9:01 AM
E-Bro said...: I'll be in New York about to catch a flight home depending on what time the game is.

I've already made a commitment to not watch the UGA next year, though I'm confident we'll win. Nothing but high blood pressure for me in that game now a days. Think I'll go to the beach or visit a national park or something that weekend. Maybe Big Bend? Can't wait!; 10:09 AM
michael said...: I'll be at my sisters for the Iron Bowl. I'm a glutton for punishment, so I suppose I'll watch the destruction.; 11:07 AM
bubbs said...: Not gonna do it. Pretty sure we're almost to the point where us winning would require an act of God.; 11:55 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: As we neared the top of our bell-shaped curve, I was tricked into a feeling of great confidence, knowing that Saban cannot beat a 9 win AU team. Then Ole Miss abused our defense, then Vandy almost beat us, then I never felt real good about the Georgia game last week, and now I feel moribund. Saban will swallow us whole and poop us out right in the middle of Toomer's Corner. I will be somewhere outdoors or on the road, far away from a tv.

7 hours til tipoff. GO TIGERS!; 1:03 PM
E-Bro said...: Just announced 2:30 game time means I'll be watching most of it in the JFK airport.; 1:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: was it wrong of me to wish for JJ to play the 2nd half?; 1:11 PM
michael said...: I am always against JJ going in.; 1:22 PM
bubbs said...: I think the consensus has been that JFIII should have played (just run it). With JJ he may have thrown for 60 yds and 3 INTs.

The consensus among non-Auburn types is "how do you not have a back up?"

I think both opinions are valid. Frankly, your desire for JJ isn't even that crazy.; 1:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: It was painfully obvious that we couldn't win with GL. Therefore the worst JJ could do is not change the outcome. Who knows, maybe he could have shocked the world and played like he did against Arky in 2014. Otherwise, I would have settled for JFiii and run, run, run... or at least try to.

I'll be surprised if ua-t has to punt even once. 5TDs and 4FGs = 47-3

Only 656 days until kickoff 2018! GO TIGERS!; 1:31 PM
bubbs said...: I think you may want to look forward to 2019, THT. Gus is stubborn, and GL has two more years of eligibility.; 1:44 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'll hope for a spectacular transformation, and it could happen. Otherwise, if GL remains the starter in 2018, we are in deep kimchi. Or at least shallow kimchi. Depth is irrelevant since I hate kimchi.; 2:14 PM
E-Bro said...: If bubbs and THT are back on the "next year or the year after" bandwagon, I'm feeling confident of an imminent turnaround.

Mark it. This weekend's game against A&M is in the bag.; 4:07 PM
THT said...: E-Bro, this weekend will be a classic example of a dead cat bounce. It will be an opportunity for those who haven't yet shorted AUT to take a short position before the share price plummets after Thanksgiving. :(

One hour til tipoff. GO TIGERS!!!; 6:59 PM
THT said...: My stars! I didn't realize our basketball team was so awful looking. 2:50 of game time was all I could handle. There's got to be hockey somewhere.; 8:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: there was no hockey. :(
Thankfully, the second half was much better. Let's hope the first half was due to all those new players needing to gel and that they are now all gelled up after that second half.

1390 days until kickoff 2020. Go Tigers!; 5:45 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "Do as I say, not as I do."

. T.Jeff.; 9:01 AM
bubbs said...: Sounds like about half the team is injured. And those are just the ones that Gus is admitting to.; 11:23 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: From the limited peek we got on TV of Chandler Cox following injury, my first thought was bowl game at the earliest. He made it look bad, and he's not a sissy. If he plays in the Iron Bowl, he'll either prove me wrong or prove he should be playing hockey.; 11:38 AM
bubbs said...: They might as well hold everyone out for the IB. It's not as if we have a reasonable chance of winning that game. Save the wear on tear on these guys.

On the bright side, if we get everyone healthy for the bowl game, we should have a good shot at winning it.; 11:48 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm trying to figure out what to do with Saturday afternoon, Nov 26. I have to work until noon and then I have a Buy More double shift on Sunday, so it's not like I can spend the weekend in Vya

Suggestions?; 12:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: after wishing I could go to Vya on Nov 26, I started looking around the region. Re: Goose Lake on the OR/CA border...
The lake completely dried up in the years 1851, 1852, 1926, 1929–1934, 1992,[7] 2009, 2013, 2014, and 2015. Formerly, Goose Lake was the regular source of the Pit River, but water diversion has caused the lake level to drop below its outlet. The Pit River's source is now south of Goose Lake, and the lake's salinity is increasing, threatening fish populations.

I don't pretend to be an icthyologist behind this keyboard, but I'm guessing "completely dried up" would be a greater threat to fish populations than gradually increasing salinity.; 12:20 PM
bubbs said...: You're ignorant, and you've proven it, THT.; 12:57 PM
michael said...: fish don't need water.; 1:34 PM
bubbs said...: Correct. However, they are prone to high blood pressure. Too much salt and they start having heart attacks left and right.; 1:38 PM
michael said...: why does THT want fish to have heart attacks so much?; 1:44 PM
bubbs said...: Two words: Onion Farmers; 1:49 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: talk about ignorance. Fish don't have left and right hearts. They don't even have left and right ventricles.

I don't like my catfish to be too salty.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva is looking to make a decision by the beginning of December.

Hmmm... who could it be?; 2:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I wonder if Alleva would consider giving...; 2:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: BOOM! an offer.; 2:15 PM
michael said...: Solid flip, THT; 2:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Every single web page with video blocked :( I'll put this link here so I can watch it when I get home:

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Android phones send personal info to China

Doesn't provide a complete list of which phones are doing this.; 2:45 PM
bubbs said...: I think you should watch highlights like that all day on the 26th, THT.; 2:57 PM
