Toomer’s Rumors and Boomers - 2.26.08

*** Highlights from the basketball win over Bama - my favorites being Quan Prowell’s tomahawk jam, Frank Tolbert’s Jedi pass to Rasheem Barrett after getting the ball stripped from him, and Lucas Hargrove’s suck-it bucket from 35 ft. out.

*** No Guarantee: Just prior to learning of an even more recent arrest of one of his [...]

*** Kind of an awesome Auburn weekend: Auburn’s swimming and diving teams, both the men’s and women’s, extend their exclusive patent on water with two [...]

Toomer’s Rumors and Boomers - 2.19.08

*** It’s official: the Auburn Nation has a new national anthem, “Let the Eagle Fly,” a powerfully mellow rhapsodic blast of countrified rah-rah that sounds like Magnetic Fields covering a Toby Keith song. And it works! Let the Eagle freakin’ fly! Here’s what the authors, Rev. Bubba D. Liverance and the Cornhole Prophets had to [...]

Toomer’s Rumors and Boomers - 2.11.08

*** Top 10 Reasons It’s Awesome at Auburn Basketball games:
10) Easy spotting of Auburn luminaries.
9) You can walk on the court after the game as long as you look official / really tall.
8 ) You can pretty much sit wherever you want.
7) Aubie lets loose in ways he can’t at football games, e.g. sliding ten [...]

Toomer’s Rumors and Boomers - 2.07.08

*** Fast Spencer Pybus is Auburn’s newest linebacker. I liked him before I knew he was a lifelong Auburn fan: not only did his name sound Old Auburn (Pybus… Jim Pyburn), his face actually looks the part, don’t tell me it doesn’t…

War Eagle, Bus!
*** OK, basketball is kinda awesome. It was as if the [...]

Hot Thoughts from The Hardwood

By J. Henderson

The Auburn Tigers played and beat the Presbyterian Blue Hose last night. For a while it looked like a Harlem Globetrotters game. It was basically a team of Spudd Webbs out there. I was taller than half the team and probably weigh as much as three of them combined… and I’m not tall. [...]

Enemy Deserve Snow Mercy

By J. Henderson

I took my daughter to the basketball game, so we won. I’ve taken her to seven Auburn sporting events. Football. Baseball. Soccer. Basketball. We’ve won every single one. Yesterday it was #15 Ole Miss at Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum. Make that formerly #15 Ole Miss. We were bundled up. It had stopped snowing outside [...]

Escape…

By J.M. Comer
… from Pearl’s SEC Cellar of Dead Meat!
Auburn won at LSU last night! Four Tigers scored in double digits and nearly a fifth, spreading the love on the court. The 3-point shooting percentage was nearly 50 percent! And how about this for a change — four of the winning Tigers spent more than [...]

Escape From the SEC West’s Cellar!

By J.M. Comer

“Try the sausage hon!” This frightening photo of a basement is from a USDA site about the at-home pleasures of Appalachian hog butchering/sausage making. The Google image search did its job well (a little too well) with search terms “basement” and “stairs.” Yikes! Can Auburn escape the creepy SEC West basement tonight?
The Auburn [...]

Coach Lebo’s Weary Warriors

By J.M. Comer
The Auburn Tigers might have lost to the Arkansas Razorbacks, 76-70, last night, but I saw some promising things displayed on the court: Heart. Guts. (Isn’t “grit” part of the human body? I’m pretty sure the grit is near the gall bladder?) And a missed opportunity.
And horrible looking free white T-shirts in the [...]
