I was waiting for this (Sometimes even ninjas lose, baby).
Also, huge thanks to From the Bleachers (one of the two Auburn blogs I regularly read) for not publicizing his thoughts about Auburn before the game. He quotes Hank Hill on mojo, I’ll quote myself on ju-ju:
Ju-ju… don’t you f***ing dare even think about screwing with it!

Simply put, if you think Auburn’s going to win, please do the rest of the Auburn faithful a favor by keeping your mouth shut. I think we all agree by now that this team does so much better when nobody thinks they have a chance, so let’s just always assume they’re going to lose. Keep waiting for the big interception, the stupid momentum-crushing penalty or the return of the Bizarro Tigers who played USF and MSU.
As reported on Time here (not to mention a couple hundred blogs already), Radiohead is offering its new CD, In Rainbows for DRM-free download on their web site. What’s the big deal, right? They’ve been doing that for awhile, right? Well this time, you get to decide how much the music is worth. That’s right, the consumer sets his or her individual price point, including the always awesome ‘free’. That said, I hope the majority of people at least pay some money. This is a big leap the band’s taking and I think it places enormous responsibility on consumers to help Radiohead show the RIAA, the music industry, other bands and the main stream media that consumers can be trusted. That we don’t need to be, or like to be, treated as criminals; and that we will gladly spend our money on artists that respect and trust their fans.
I will most certainly be buying this CD from Radiohead. Even if I don’t really like it all that much, I see this as finally putting my money where my mouth has been for years.
This really sucks for the SEC in general because Florida’s going to fall hard. Auburn is my alma mater, but I grew up rooting for Florida. I still do root for Florida. Year in and year out, I only want to see a good game when my two teams play one another. Aside from a truly horrible penalty on Auburn’s punt coverage, tonight’s game was pretty good. The quarterback we thought we had in Brandon Cox showed up, our young offensive line played well beyond their experience, our receivers caught balls(!!!), and our running game produced actual positive yardage. Plus the aforementioned bad penalty actually served to ignite Auburn one final time to stop Florida on defense and drive down the field to kick the winning field goal not once but twice!
I’m usually not half bad at picking college games, but I am terrible when it comes to Auburn/Florida. Perhaps it’s because it’s always such a messed up game. This is best illustrated in this post on everydayshouldbesaturday.com:
And finally: Brandon Cox may miss his start against Florida due to heavy menstrual bleeding.* The only other injury on Auburn’s side will be the lingering injury to Quentin Groves, whose own massive balls hurt his back and general mobility six days of the week, but seem not to affect him on Saturdays.
*Egad, has Brandon Cox been terrible–we hear the worst of it from Auburn alum Cuddles, who’s exhausted his septic tank of profanities trying to accurately describe how bad he’s been. But that’s against every other team but Florida, where he’ll probably pull himself together and throw for 400 yards and five tds on us after we write that. That’s just the kind of jankety shit that always happens in Auburn/Florida games. Unlike Kyle**, we don’t hate Auburn. But damnation on a shitstick do we hate playing them.
** NOTE: Kyle is a Georgia fan and his site was linked there on the original post. We don’t link UGA sites here, and frankly I’m surprised Orson, the Gator fan that runs EDSBS did.
The “Fingerbang” episode of South Park has always been one of my favorites. Aside from what I’ve pasted below, I can’t really describe why except that it makes fun of the cookie-cutter boy bands that got so popular in the 80’s (Menudo) and 90’s (a multitude). Wendy Testaburger singing it (Adout 48 seconds in, or about halfway - considering Wendy’s song is the funny part YouTube & Google Video really let me down on this one).

Read this while catching up with digg.com posts. Sad.
Had a few beers after work with a friend.
Played some Wii Tennis… Stunk at it.
Met up w/ some folks for “dinner” at a Tapas place.
Got Dinner at Taco Bell.
Opened and assembled my present… a tall fan for my room.
Had a couple more beers w/ friends before going to bed.
It’s a whirlwind of excitement, I know. I had fun and look forward to seeing how the fan works tonight. I’m finishing this up on the 27th, roughly 12,419 days old.
Wow… I just looked up what “Rammer Jammer” means. Remember the heavily tattooed ‘Bama redneck from the EDSBS post:
The “Rammer Jammer Cheer” is a traditional and controversial cheer which taunts the Crimson Tide’s football opponents. It typically is played towards the end of a game when an Alabama victory is certain. Fans cheer:
Hey Tigers!
Hey Tigers!
Hey Tigers!
We just beat the hell outta’ you!
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer
Give ‘em hell, Alabama!
What an incredibly lame-ass cheer. Seriously, “rammer jammer”? Couldn’t find another meaningless phrase that actually rhymes with ‘Alabama’? The possible meanings of the ‘yellow hammer’ combined with ‘rammer jammer’ simultaneously confuse and frighten me.
…Starts this week! If you haven’t seen this show, you need to get your butt to Hollywood Video (b/c Blockbuster is the Anti-Christ… but you already knew that) or Netflix that puppy real quick like. Seriously, this is one the the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t be happier that it’s not on one of the big three networks. FX has some good ju-ju going on with Rescue Me and It’s Always Sunny… much better than most of what I’ve seen on the three-headed hydra that is AB-NB-CBS.
The closest to this I’ve seen at an Auburn game was an old VW van painted in blue with scores of all the games it had attended hand-painted in orange all over. It had been to quite an impressive number of games.
