Congrats, Kathy, on your team's win! I'll bet you are still celebrating.

**Arkiehawg** · 01-10-2012, 12:18 PM

Honey Badger found on Bourbon Street after the game....

**30A Skunkape** · 01-10-2012, 12:44 PM

Congrats to Bammers. Like my Facebookie said last night, sometimes you just get your butt kicked. Alabama had an outstanding game plan, especially on offense...I didn't watch many UA games this year but of those that I did, I don't ever remember their offese being so pass happy, and their QB was on the money over and over against a very good secondary.

A big Bronx cheer for the LSU offensive game plan which seemed hell bent on running east/west on a fast defense. But, what do I know, I'm not a coach.

So I will be interested to see what the LSU offense looks like next year with the ballyhooed new QBs coming in.

Ok. But whether it's 9 or 14, what team, other than perhaps Notre Dame, could claim as many or more? The number can go up or down depending on how many one wants to credit UA with winning or how many one wants to keep UA from claiming.

Here was our view from the Cotton Bowl...pretty good seats..

For those who have always wanted to know what Mr/Mrs Arkiehawg look like, we're in this picture

Must be a "cuzin" of Harvey Updykes.....stay classy Bama

An Alabama man was arrested late Thursday in connection with a video appearing to show someone in a University of Alabama jacket abusing an unconscious Louisiana State University fan after Alabama beat LSU for the BCS football championship.

Insane and inappropriate of the fan.

I haven't been to Auburn lately thank goodness (the only reason I go is if I have a sick dog and take her to the vet college there). I wonder how the trees are at Toomer's Corner?

**Everytime** · 01-24-2012, 10:56 PM

I am ashamed of many Alabama fans.

I was in Auburn this weekend for the Auburn Classic Half Marathon. I didn't see the trees but I ate very well: Provino's (different from the chain in GA, I think), Amsterdam Cafe, Mike & Ed's BBQ, Daylight Donuts. And I don't think the 13.1 miles burned all of those calories...

I have always wondered if the Provino's there is as good as the one on Roswell Road in ATL.

We have only visited Auburn if (a) we had tickets to a Florida-Auburn game, (b) we were taking our daughter who is 6'3" to the Auburn basketball camp, (c) we needed to make a pit stop on the way to the beach, or (d) we had a really sick dog who needed the expertise at the Auburn University Vet College. The (d) is more common for us. So passing by Exit 51 brings back a lot of bad memories for us.

Funny (yet sad) story. Our Weim started having seizures, so we took her to Auburn. While I was waiting for test results, the vet suggested that I go have lunch or shop because it would be a long wait. I had given an exam that AM, and a student said he was sick and asked for a makeup. Well, I went at Kinnicun's at Auburn while I was waiting to hear from the vet, and who did I see but the "sick" student who missed the exam that morning. He had this "I crapped my pants" look. I was very friendly, but it was so fun to see him squirm. I mean, what was the probability of that happening?

I think the Aub location is different, as it is not listed on the website for the GA & TN locations. It was pretty good and had plenty of options for the 10 people from my running group that were in town for the Half Marathon (which was unfortunately delayed till Sunday due to the Tornado watch; I stayed in town and ran it Sunday).

Since you are obviously a fan of good restaurants, next time you are in Auburn for a sporting event or a vet visit (if you have to drop off the dog for awhile), I would highly recommend lunch or dinner at Amsterdam Cafe on Gay St. It is pricey but worth it. My wife and I have eaten there since we were dating 15 years ago and have seen it transition from a very casual deli/bar type place to a very nice dining establishment with a "fine dining" touch at dinner. Hummous trio for appetizer and Turkey Wrap with homomade sweet potato chips is my usual, lunch or dinner, but I've also tried some of the dinner entrees. Good beer & wine selection too, and they always have college sports on the TVs, despite the "finer" things. I've also heard Hamilton's on Magnolia (downtown, Toomer's Corner area) is good, but we haven't been there yet.

Thanks for the recommendation. The brother of someone I work with has season tix at Auburn and frequently doesn't use his. We enjoy driving down to Auburn and seeing a good SEC game. It's an easy drive from south of ATL.

Only a couple more weeks before the Holiest time of the year begins....College Football

More importantly, SEC COLLEGE FOOTBALL!

Since no one else has started a thread, the Hog Luver' has started one where all smack talk bubba's and bubbette's can put their trash talk into one thread....

So I'll get it started!

Here's to you my Bama Friends....Roll(s) Tide! Name: Roll Tide....jpg

**darcstar** · 08-16-2012, 11:27 AM

When was the last time y'all beat us again?

**kurt** · 08-16-2012, 11:57 AM

That was easy.

**Bluznbeach** · 08-30-2012, 05:04 PM

Okay, y'all, let's get this thing STARTED! Below is a (mostly) fictional account of how a couple of typical Sowalers might be getting ready for the Big Game on Saturday night (50 hours and counting!). Enjoy, and remember, this is all in good fun. (P.S: don't be surprised if you see a U-M flag flying over Inlet Beach!)

**Beach Runner** · 09-01-2012, 08:08 PM

Darlene, you must be flipping out. Go SEC! EDIT: The Tide is rollin'. Frankly, as a Gator, Alabama is the team we most like to beat. But as an SEC fan, I'm happy that Bama is beating a Big 10 team.

You, too, Lady D. You must be happy. I was for TN. Go SEC!

Now we want Auburn to beat Clemson. That'll shut down the SEC haters.

EDIT 2: Michigan, you should just go home at halftime and spare yourselves any more flagellation.
And Auburn, get your act together!

**kathydwells** · 09-03-2012, 07:49 AM

ROLL TIDE! Yes BR, I was pretty darn excited!

blech is right!

Kentucky is still Kentucky.
You do not want to be A&M's or Mizzou's first SEC win.
Saban - never seen a more humorless individual. Well, maybe Bill Curry.
Auburnt - shame, shame. Clemson is in the ACC!
Arkansas - did they play? Irrelevancy came awful fast.
FLorida - king of the MAC?
LSU - got QB?
UGA - when was last SEC title?
USC - just put Lattimore behind center.
Vandy - as if it wasn't tough enough referees stepped on your sack.
Tennessee - ACC wins don't count.

You forgot MS State who couldn't even get out of the tunnel without falling on their face.

Arkiehawg, while you should feel compelled to take a minimum one month leave from the Battlezone, take comfort in the fact that losing to the mighty UL-Monroe Warhawks makes your team Bammeresque

Mostly concerned about our QB with a possible clavicle fx, safety with a cervical injury (hopefully no fx) and FB with a probable ankle fx.

Positives....
1. John L Smith has zero chance as the permanent coach.
2. It wasn't a conference loss. (that will probably come next week)
3. I am still grateful that we aren't Mizzou, Vandy, Kentucky or Ole Piss...
4. Bamma survived their 2007 loss and seems to be doing pretty good..

Well, let me give you some salve my friend. Your 1986 SEC champs wore purple and gold. And they lost at home to Miami that year-and I'm not talking about the crew from Coral Gables

**Beach Runner** · 09-09-2012, 02:11 PM

Yeah, the Arkansas loss was nothing to be proud about. Glad the Gators won yesterday, but they are far from the Gators who won the National Championships in 2006 and 2008.

Any news about what they're saying about Muschamp in Gainesville?

**kathydwells** · 09-10-2012, 10:06 AM

roll tide! :d

**Arkiehawg** · 09-10-2012, 12:25 PM

Skunky...do you think I would look good in Purple and Gold???? ArkieTiger does have a ring to it......Wow...

**kurt** · 09-10-2012, 02:30 PM

lol I was just about to post that.

So...

**Arkiehawg** · 09-10-2012, 03:30 PM

Gotta luv the freak....

Hey, I look good in orange and blue.....how about ArkieGator????

**BeachSiO2** · 09-13-2012, 10:28 AM

Fingers crossed for Auburn this week. I hear they have a tough one.

Plus, it looks like we will get to see how good those Gators are. I seem to remember something posted on hear about being able to beat TN on their back.

Don't worry, you'll get your turn this week...

Need I remind you that Uf played Bowling Green the same week and it was a whopping 17-14 going into the fourth quarter. As for Texas A&M, they are a whopping 104th in the country in average points per game, not 15th.

Note to self: Auburn is not good enough to make fun of LA- Monroe

**30A Skunkape** · 09-15-2012, 10:34 PM

Aubbies are some kinda lucky to have won today-but that ends next Saturday. Fear the hat.

**BeachSiO2** · 09-16-2012, 06:49 AM

Sir, can I have another! Eight in a row, not bad Gators!

I suppose we'll get a challenge against LSU.
