there's talk that they might even bury him at the half time of the Georgia game. jesus, can you think of anything more depressing for a halftime show?

Bye Week

I'm taking advantage of Auburn's bye week and the Falcons plummet of doom to record new jams with my band, so posting may or may not happen much this week. so if you want F-Bombs and angry rants you might have to search for some message boards.

also i wanted to post a link to this online article for the Flagpole (here in Athens) written by Jeremy Henderson of the War Eagle Reader about the Rise or The Closet of the Hipster Football Fan. it's a pretty funny concept and pretty dead on and also there quotes from that guy who writes HEY JENNY SLATER and me as well as a few other. it's a good read if you happen to be an indie rock nerd who has ever been on tour with your band during football season and had nearly come to blows with a bandmate about turning the radio to the football game so that you could listen.

a reminder

The Tide Is Coming...

if this blog was a movie it would be a teen melodrama

sometimes i like to pretend that my blog is a teen melodrama set sometime in the late 80s or early 90s in some boring suburban town. it’s kinda like a mix between the existential ramblings of Dazed and Confused and the dumb party scenes of Can’t Hardly Wait with maybe some class warfare stolen from the Outsiders for good measure….you know something that wouldn’t do well in the theater but would get a nice cult following on DVD.

there’d be a smart ass angsty kid who would be the hero, and a hot chick with the face of Rachel Leigh Cook and the ass of Blake Lively that our hero pines for, and his friends would be a nerdy sci-fi/horror loving guy, a punk rock dude, and a smart awkward chick who we all know he’s gonna end up with in the end.

and it would have a killer soundtrack

Sonic Youth- schizophrenia
The Verlaines- pyromaniac
The Undertones- teenage kicks
The Replacements- sixteen blue
The Strokes- barely legal
The Nerves- when you find out
The Beach Boys- girl don’t tell me
The Lemonheads- if i could talk i’d tell you
The Clean- i wait around
Teenage Fanclub- star sign
Lilys- will my lord be gardening
Shocking Pinks- emily
The Jesus & Mary Chain- happy when it rains
Velvet Underground- there she goes again
The Seeds- can’t seem to make you mine
Buzzcocks- love is lies
Thin Lizzy- romeo and the lonely girl
Neil Young- everybody knows this is nowhere
Tall Dwarfs- baby it’s over
Husker Du- i apologize
Turf War- cheers to the years
Johnny Thunders- you can’t put your arms around a memory

THE NFL, Halfway point guessing game

THE BENGALS RULE....aka thing i'd never thought i'd say about this year.

AFC

gonna make the playoffs

Colts
Patriots
Bengals

probably gonna make the playoffs

Chargers
Steelers

random NFL stuff

gonna get the first pick in the draft

so many shitty teams to choose from....but i'd rank em in likelihood of worst record.

Browns
Lions
Rams
Bucs
Chiefs
Raiders

player i am most happy for

Vince Young

reason i am most happy i am not playing fantasy football this year

i only have to pay attention to the games i actually give a shit about.

team i'd most like to see win the Super Bowl if it isn't the Falcons

Bengals

I Need Some New Interests

Auburn loses, The Falcons lose.

but at least i got to see the Manning-bot beat this douchebag.


so who wants to bet me that the Colts go undefeated in the regular season and then lose to Chargers in the playoffs....AGAIN at home? it'll happen.

in random football related news: i am kinda shocked that Jon Gruden extended his deal with ESPN. i figured he was 1 and done with MNF and he'd be coaching the Redskins or Cowboys next year. i'm actually glad he's staying in the booth because this is the first time in memory that i've actually liked the Monday Night Football team.

Do I Even Care Anymore?

unless by some miracle of science Auburn beats Bama, this season is essentially over. yeah there is a crappy bowl game at the end of the tunnel...but there's a strong possibility that it's gonna be a match up with Iowa State. how's that for fucking irony? gross, yuck, puke. also let's give those Temple Owls some love. they are this year's Vanderbilt.

A LIFETIME OF DEFEATS TOP 25, Week 11

i'm full of sad

photographic evidence of me being shameful and wearing a UGA t-shirt cuz i thought it looked cool. i put a curse on the Tigers. i know it.

don't worry, i gave that shirt away to my girlfriend.

loss to Georgia for the 4th year in a row + hangover + not being able to find my keys = i'll be spending the rest of the morning listening to Nirvana's Unplugged record and Elliott Smith until the Falcons come on. being emo about football is retarded.

sad facts

i'm really fucking sick of this bullshit.

Kentucky and Vanderbilt...

Those are the names of teams who've beaten UGA more recently than Auburn. And wouldn't you know...they've also beaten Auburn lately too.

An entire graduating class has made it through on the plains without ever tasting sweet victory vs the Dawgs.

There isn't enough alcohol that my body can hold to make me feel any better.

Weshaun, Knowshon, fuck all your Shawns!

Fuck It! I'm done with football. i'll be drunk and you can go to hell.

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

motherfucking piece of shit cocksucking asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey Lee Ziemba, go ahead and go pro buddy. i'd rather Auburn start a true freshman at left tackle next year than have to watch you gettin' false start penalties every fucking big drive for another fucking year. you fucking suck!

goddamnit i hate the Georgia Bulldogs more than i hate Stone Temple Pilots and Limp Bizkit combined.

to all my Georgia Bulldog loving friends, suck my dick. we are done, professionally.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, Stanford 55, USC 21

THIS fucking happened. what in the fuck?

i guess when winning forever finally ends it ends fucking hard. i still bet USC will manage to get back into the Top 10 in a week or so.

holy shit, my mind is blown.

way to go nerds. just make sure you do the same thing to Notre Dame.


quick question: is Jim Harbaugh gonna become Michigan's new coach at the end of this year or next year? because RichRod ain't working in the Big 10.

Bo Knows That The Boz Sucks

some random awesome for this Saturday.

War Eagle, Motherfucker.

if there's water on the moon then we should go party there

we're throwing a Rave on the fucking moon to celebrate New Year's 2013. join us.

the moon water is free but you gotta bring your own glow sticks.

More Awesome Recruiting News

Trovon Reed committed to the Tigers. he's the number 3 WR in the nation and is apparently a burner. he's Auburn's second highest ranked recruit and has the Tigers currently with a Top 10 class according to Rivals. but you're probably an Auburn fan and already know all this shit. whatever, it's still rad. so just a couple more linemen and maybe a 2nd 5 star runningback and then maybe a surprise or two on signing day and then The Chiz can put a bow on a very impressive recruiting class after his 1st year as a headcoach at Auburn. i may have used some dirty words and threatened to throw myself off the Sears Tower when he got the headcoaching job, but there's no denying the man has done some awesome things this year. i'll drink a couple of beers in your honor tonight, Coach. just make sure you get us a win tomorrow.

the obvious youtube highlights for your ass. complete with some crappy rap song i've never heard before. seriously kids, when soundtracking your highlight videos think about things like song choice. just look at Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino...those dudes aren't fuckin' around with some halfasses Young Jeezy ripoff.

Suicide Watch (2010), Week 11: Revenge!!!

JUST A REMINDER: last time Auburn was in Athens, this fucking happened.


if thinking about Georgia players wearing stupid black jerseys and running around and dancing the Soulja Boy doesn't annoy you and make you motivated for Bulldog blood then i'm not sure what will. how about the fact we've lost 3 teams in a row to our number 2 rival? 3 fucking times! that hasn't happened since some guy named Walker was carrying the ball for the Dawgs. Auburn hasn't lost 4 in a row since the 40s. Georgia is also in danger of catching up with the Tigers in the all-time lead. Auburn has only a 2 game advantage. no more losing. it must end now! (seriously please end it now. i can't deal with another year of shit talking.)

this game matters more to me than the Iron Bowl. it just does. if the football gods bless us with a victory in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry then he can do what he wishes in the Iron Bowl (okay, not really. i don't wanna watch Auburn get murdered again by the Tide. that sucked last year....a lot.)

this is a matchup of two of the worst defenses in the SEC. i don't really see an advantage either way. the Dawgs give up big plays and commit stupid penalties. Auburn has no depth and gives up 60+ yard touchdowns like it's going out of style. i really feel like this game is going to come down to special teams and whose offense can make big plays.

Georgia has AJ Green. he's going to be the best player on the field all day. i could see him going for about 200 yards vs. the Tigers banged up secondary. but luckily Joe Cox will probably gift us a few incerptions while trying to get it to Mr. Green. Walter McFadden could end up being the key to this game.

Auburn seems to have finally righted the ship on offense after falling into some kind of vortex of suck. Todd's throws have been in the mark and he and Darvin Adams are both deserving of SEC honors (Todd won't get it because of Tebow and Mallett. but Adams seems a lock for 2nd team ALL-SEC). the running game is most likely the key to victory for the Tigers. Ben Tate, it's your chance to cemment your legacy at Auburn. give us a big day (something in the 160 yards and 3 touchdowns area) and a win and you'll go down as one of the great Auburn backs. you've been the guy who has carried this offense all year. just give us one more great game.

chance for tragedy: 8, it's Georgia. even when things look bad for the them they tend to pull big wins out of their ass...especially late in the year vs. Auburn. this is still the team that beat Arkansas on the road. there's no reason to think they can't beat Auburn at Georgia.

method of suicide: seppuku, there's no honor in defeat. you've brought shame upon us all. phone a friend, he'll need to cut your head off for you after you stab yourself in the gut.
