I just spoke with Buster's and they are not carrying the game.

Rum Runners doesn't know their tv schedule yet.

Balls Out on 98 IS carrying the game. The closest one to us!

....what does this mean? BeachSiO68br549 Looks like something seacrestkristi might say!

Don't forget Beef O Bradys in the Sandestin Market Shops and OQuigleys near Destin Commons if you don't mind the drive. That's surprising about Buster's

LSU at Mississippi State

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame

Tennessee at California

Kansas State at Auburn

Florida State at Clemson


Go Hawgs.....Go SEC

A little off the subject...

Kimmi, what designer makes those vintage-looking collegiate shirts? I think you have one...bout time for me to get one.

Chip & Pepper! Best $80 I've spent on a t-shirt in a while!

Laugh at an injury, classless jerk, cheering when people are hurt, are you kidding me? On behalf of all AU fans worldwide I am sorry for the actions of the others. Is that what you want? By the way, this is where I remind you of another one of your comments, "Keep casting those stones, BeachSiO68br549." I guess Bama only has classy fans that would never do that.

By the way, I didn't laugh about it and if I wanted to their are plenty of smilies to do just that. I just pointed out that your players are dropping like flies some injuries, some lack of institutional control. Way to try and switch the subject to a personal attack. I have seen that in other places on sowal, do you have an alter ego in the political forum battling with Uncle Timmy?

I am sorry if you have not taken kindly to continually being beaten down since to quote your post # 45 to JDarg, "...and you can bet I'm gonna bring it, sister." I have enjoyed our sparring today and hopefully we can keep it away from the personal attacks while you're bringing it in the future. By the way, you got three of those today, "Smartass, Boog and classless jerk", at least you won something....

Beatdown? Whatever you say.

You are, without question, the most prototypical Auburn fan I've ever seen, and that is really saying something.

But the Lester news IS true. Matter of fact, I'll bet he misses the whole year. In the meantime, you're linking articles of UA players breaking their ankles. That, my friend, IS classless.

BTW, seen the latest Sports Illustrated? Has there ever even been an article about Auburn in that publication?

Oh, and the recruiting rankings you pulled out of your ass? Check the current rankings and where every single in-state blue chip prospect is going.

Again, enjoy it while you can, cause it's coming to an end quicker than you think.

I'm done with you. You're now on my ignore list.

Maybe. ;-)

Alabama on PPV. Not sure about the Irish..

Sometimes he's just like Amtrack.....

I think he should go to a meditation the next time he comes to Sowal.

Me stay out of fight.

Me stay out of fight.

laying eggs over there?

Pick deadline is this evening! Get on the record and join the fun.

What are the odds of that high school team beating Alawawawaw, I me Alabama. Come on scunkape at least 100:1 or higher.:shock: The high school has an extra day, no school on Friday. I'll be In florala educating lesser life forms today, so I'll check the odds later today View attachment 6295

In the belief that JB really won't Ignore me, I will respond to my new friend with a few of things for him to consider. But before I get started..

[Insert cricket chirping noise here]

Hear those noises JB, that is the silence of people who are supporting you right now. Now, on to being helpful.

1. It is not wise to come one to a bb and state that you are ready for trash talking, stating your going to "bring it", and saying someone has no "cajones" if you are unable or unwilling to have a level discussion.

2. Don't use facts, unless you are ready to have them picked apart if they're a weak basis for your point of view. In this case using the 2008 recruiting season and talking about how all the good in-state recruits are going to Bama. It's only the end of August and one year out of four does not make a dynasty. By the way in regards to in-state recruiting, Brody Croyle and John Parker Wilson set tons of Alabama state records while in high school and where did that get you. Once again, your argument turned against you my friend, and calling Rivals.com pulling it out of my a$$ is another example of ignoring a fairly well respected resource when it comes to recruiting.

3. Posting that someone is hurt is not classless in this situation when the point is that your team continues to have players missing games. It is a weak attempt at once again changing the discussion into personal attacks and away from the discussion at hand. Also I haven't seen any confirmation of the Lester suspension on the web has anyone else? Be forewarned JB, if we find out you were wrong on this one. I will be back to remind you about how classless it is to spread rumors. If you are right, I offer an early congratulations on letting us all know yesterday.

4. Sports Illustrated covers, yes. I have seen Auburn on Sports Illustrated covers before. But Grasshopper, let me explain to you how the news works. They report things that SELL, and the most important thing to remember is that GOOD NEWS DOES NOT SELL.

They sell things in primarily two ways, one is by identifying stories that resonate with a segment of the population and highlighting those stories. In this case, there are numerous Alabama fans so they are a captive audience. The second major way is by identifying stories that are interesting to a wider segment of the population, and I like to call those train wreck stories. In the recent past, Alabama has been a train wreck story. In case you don't realize the buzzards (press) are circling and waiting to see if the Saban switch works or doesn't and that is the PRIMARY reason you you have been on the cover right recently. By the way, I just went on the SI.com site and found something that might interest you, the current Power Rankings by them

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/stewart_mandel/08/28/power.rankings1/index.html

I looked for Alabama, but couldn't find them in the Top 25. I did see Auburn though, and for those who are wondering, South Florida was #25.

As for being a prototypical Auburn fan, I will enlighten you and have to admit here that I am not. Fan means fanatical and I am not that. On the other hand, I greatly enjoy pushing buttons of people who live and die based on a group of young men aged between 17 and 22 playing football. I am an avid watcher and enjoy spending my Saturday's watching as many games as I can of many different teams, but in the end my life is no better or worse based on who won the championship in 2007, 1997, 1987, etc.

I can see from the speed at which our friendly "trash talking" headed south to personal attacks that it is not healthy for me to continue to antaonize you because unfortunately for you, you are an easy mark. Anyone that says they are going to bring it usually are. One item of note, I am easy, don't try to talk trash to Kurt about Florida as he is the fastest one to put someone in their place.

Once again sorry for upsetting you yesterday, you brought great joy to me for a short time period as I had to bring up counterpoints to your points, but it seems like all that is left is personal attacks now.

Until next time...

My favorite Auburn SI cover:

By the way in regards to in-state recruiting, Brody Croyle and John Parker Wilson set tons of Alabama state records while in high school and where did that get you.

Brodie- we got a 10-2 season in 2005. A Sports Illustrated cover. Even though we lost two important games I still consider that season a success. Did anybody watch that Florida game? Unreal.

JPW- He's only a junior and has much to prove but I like what I see so far. I think he will excel under Major Applewhite's offense. If not, next...

Plus, they are both FUNN to look at. C'mon we all know I love the QBs.

I just have to say this. I am a fanatic when it comes to Alabama football. I always have been and always will be. I love lighthearted bantering between us AU/UA fans. I hate to see it get ugly though. I know some people take it more serious than others, but we have to remember it IS just a game. I hate that Auburn has beat us the last 5 years. I hate that we have had to indure all the coaching changes and all the suspensions and all of that crap. I would hate for any school to have to endure all of that. I do not think that literally arguing over all of this is the answer. JB, I know you are just as passionate about Alabama football as I am, but I hate to see you getting in arguments over it. I know you will slam me for that, but that is okie dokie. I just had to get this off my chest. I am a peacemaker, and I hate to see arguing. I just hate it. It makes me.
