WTH?

This is not a flame, but it would not surprise me at all if UT goes after the Towel Waver to replace Graham. He's got the recruiting experience and is available. How would that make you guys feel?

Happy Birfday, pistol boy.  For your birthday, I'll only pray that we beat you on 11/9 by only 5 TDs instead of the 10 I was praying for.  Yer welcome.

Good to hear this update, and hope that the news keeps getting better.

Seriously, Auburn should rescind her degree.

Werd!

I thought this was going to be a poast about Little Nicky Sabear stepping down.

Who will be AU's QB? QB play is crucial to winning in football.

Your guess is as good as mine at this point.  I will be disappointed if we do not come out of Spring practice with at least a front runner, though. I'm guess Kiehl Frazier or our JuCo transfer Nick Marshall will be starting. It would not surprise me if Marshall starts as he is the kind of QB that Gus likes: strong passer that has quick reads and can scatter if needed. But Frazier was originally recruited by Gus to run a similar system that Cam ran during our MNC run, so he is probably the front runner going into Spring practice.

UGA, SCe, and AU are all at home. I don't see AU being that great this season, they have offensive issues and no QB. Key will be to win those games. Bama, FL, and Oregon are away games, which is actually good, because we'd lose those home or away.

Oh, really?  Auburn not being great this season?  Well....get ready for the Gus Bus on 11/9, pal, cause he's bringing the Pain Train with him.

Actually, I think we will be lucky to get to 7 wins this year, unless Gus is a miracle worker.  Regardless, the first year with a new coach is always interesting.  I think that both AU and UT are going to need to win that 11/9 game in order to be bowl eligible, which will make for an interesting game.

With the Texas brand and the in-state talent, if they don't have a top 10 class every year something is wrong. I can't believe they're still letting Mack hang around.

I have no dog in this fight, but I do enjoy seeing A&M surpass the mighty Longhorns.  Texas has tried to rule not only everything in its state, but in its conference to (my, my...who does that sound like?). And A&M finally had enough and said, screw you. And now they are getting the better talent and have a better outlook.

The Upton deal is done pending a physical.

And bye-bye to Prado.  That's a shame; he's a good un. Hope they can get someone to play 3rd as that is a huge hole to fill.

Grantland has put together a bracket to determine the best Chappelle Show sketch ever.  I had forgotten about a lot of these, I'm going to have to go back and watch them again on Netflix. 

FTR, my favorite finished as the runner up.  Now Wayne Brady's gonna have to choke a b**ch.

And the right sketch won, IMO.  My wife is usually offended by this type of comedy, but laughed throughout this sketch.  It's my second favorite one he did (Wayne Brady was my favorite one).

Did he actually have fans?  lol.  No, I did enjoy watching him occasionally. It did seem that every other skit was about smoking crack though.  Which makes you wonder.  No, actually it doesn't make you wonder.  Not at all.   

That show was LOL funny to me.  It was at its peak when DC went all crazy. No doubt he is a pot/crack head, but he's a funny one. I'm Rick James, b*$&@.

Was listening to one of the radio talk shows yesterday and next years MNC was brought up. They were asked how they thought the chances of the SEC making it 8 in a row. That morphed into Alabama winning it again. One commented that he did not see anybody beating Alabama next year. So, in your honest opinnion, do you see anybody other than Alabama winning the MNC next year?

I think the appropriate reply here should have been, "They still suxes!"

I think Oregon has a shot with its coach returning.  I think OSU can go undefeated again in a weak Big10.  I think aTm will be good again, though I don't think they go undefeated.  But I have a hart time thinking of any team that can beat them again.  But it is the SEC, so who knows.

If I was dating a Clemson or Bama grad/fan, I would never pull for her team, no matter how hot she was. And I would certainly never wear their jersey, for any reason.

Auburn should revoke Miss Alabama's diploma.

You, sir, are correct!

The 2001 Vols just missed at #22.

That 2004 Auburn team is still my favorite.  They were all around better than our 2010 team that won it all.  Ronnie Brown is one of my top three favorite Auburn running backs. He put a hurtin on UT that year, IIRC  .

Is Tennessee still playing Oregon in 2013? I've seen things going back a couple of months saying Tennessee is trying to buy Their way out of the game

Man, that is a brutal schedule. I wouldn't blame UT for buying out the Oregon game.

and there's a lot of smoke that a hire will be announced Wednesday.

Dooley has been fired since before the UK game, and Hart interviews 2 guys and its over? What about all of this doesn't make sense?

Wednesday will be a busy day, then.  That is the day rumored to bring Auburn's release of who will be our next coach.

And thank you Quasi for the shout out earlier.

Hard to believe I'm 42.  I am now the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything.

Good gawd, you're old. Until next year, which is when I'll turn 42.  HBTY!

Scumbag Bama fan? 

You just described the entire Alabama fan base.   

You're a good man, sir.

Just heard on the radio down here that Auburn is being investigated by the NCAA for violations in recruiting and other areas.
 Oh, Trooper, this guy from the NCAA wants to talk with you for a minute. Birds coming home to roost. All of us have probably heard stories for some time.....looks like the NCAA has too.

This is not new news; been around for several weeks. Not saying whether or not there is anything valid.  But it is not something that just popped up. And nothing revealing based on what was known many weeks ago.

[after the MNC they bought]

I will never forget the sheer arrogance and strutting around all the Aubies did on this board after the MNC they bought.

I've gotten a lot of satisfaction over the cliff they fell off of this past season.  Just like we all predicted.     I hope the NCAA buries them.

Good grief 

Back atcha bossman.   

Happy Thanksgiving to all my VTTW friends. Hope you guys have a great holiday, and that Christmas presents arrive early for all of you in the form of a current Monday Night Football guy.

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today to play the traditional pre-Thanksgiving round of golf. And my office is closed on Friday. A tradition for 35 years.

Happy Thanksgiving you VTTW turkeys! 

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Man, you're cruel.  You make your employees work on Thanksgiving Day?  And then give them Friday off? Evil, man. Just evil.

 

That made me the LOLz.

They may be looking at James Franklin.  I LOL at the thought of him doing the "woo pig souie" or whatever it is.

Hogs supposedly offered Gruden today and he said, "Nope." UT private donors have put money for an offer that is mind-blowing.

Has anyone asked Gruden the most important question, yet? Does he or doesn't he like the Woo?
