DRIFTERS!

Gators v. Kazakhstan in the Orange Bowl??

$15,000 for a laptop?? Was this thing encrusted with diamonds & wrapped in fine Corinthian leather? What laptop is worth that & what sucker pays that for a laptop?

Oh right…it’s Tubberville. The man who claims the 2004 national title that was bestowed upon him by a 16 year old kid from Opelika!

I’m telling you people, it was Old Man Wickels!

He owuld have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those meddling kids….

Auburnites know how to use a computer?

Surprise, surprise. I thought the only things they knew how to use were tractors.

Yeah, the $15,000 estimate raised my eyebrows too, but Harvey Wireman nailed it — this is Auburn we’re talking about here, so Tuberville’s “laptop” is probably one of those room-sized computers that doesn’t even have a screen but rather spits out its results on some kind of punchcard. I hear those went for a pretty penny back in the ’50s. Either that or it was requisitioned from a bunch of Defense Department surplus along with a case of $600 toilet seats.

okay… I got this from an inside source
The $15,000 laptop? Here’s how it breaks down:
$1500 for the laptop
$500 for all of Lou Holtz’s old offensive schemes
$250 for copies of Traci Lords early videos
$1000 for original of Coach TT holding up 4 fingers
$250 Copy of Coaching for Dummies
$11,500 copy of photos of Coach Shula and midget nuns plus contract saying he will coach only “so good”

As for the Lou Holtz thing, nobody ever said Borges was a good trader

$15000!!!! That must be one sweet Etch-A-Sketch.

According to the ‘Gainesville Sun’, Gameday will be in Gainesville for Saturday’s LSU-UF tilt. So cries of doom and damnation were for naught: ESPN will allow Gameday to attend SEC campuses. Though this perhaps might just be because there is literally no other match-up that comes close to this one in either quality or importance. The jury will have to wait for that scenario to play out.

I guess ‘drifter’ is the new PC term for the bums that hang around 5 Points with their stories about “running out of gas and need to get home to my (insert number here) kids.”

Futbawl- $500 for Lou’s schemes? Seems like a steep price for option and bubble screens.

Did anyone else notice the Gameday sign that read:
“Lou Holtz is a Geniush”?
I about spit out my bacon Saturday morning when I saw that. How many weeks before the Mouse/WWL ban all signage at Gameday events?

High end video laptop with football-specific video software. 15K included the seat licenses for the custom software.

Oh, that and high-glossy photos of Shula, Richt, Fulmer, and Spurrier grabbing ankles.

Why would Gameday be in Gainesville? Certainly the Disney Corp. knows that USC is at home vs. Washington, right? Since when did they decide to go back to covering the "game of the week"?

And to think, we’re almost two years removed from the last time footbaw met larceny in Columbia.

How much value does a laptop lose after spending time in a drifter’s pants?

$15000 for a laptop? What would they charge for a PS2 memory card with the Auburn playbook programmed into it?

Guys, it’s the first computer in the history of the State of Alabama.

The collector’s value on that thing is at least $15,000.

Lou Holtz…loose skin and old balls…

NewAZTiger: Writes: “… Oh, that and high-glossy photos of Shula, Richt, Fulmer, and Spurrier grabbing ankles.”

Fulmer (Mr. Fulmer to you AZT) has not been able to grab his ankles since the first episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard came on the tube in the 1970’s, I think.

CBS Sportsline is forgetting that while GaTech is 4-1 currently, they’ll still figure out a way to be 7-5 losing to bad teams and ruining good teams’ chances at glory.

Easy there, NewAZTiger — Tubbs may have Shula’s number, but he’s only 9-9 lifetime against the other three guys, 9-6 since coming to Auburn (and 3-6 before Borges got there).

That is exactly why those photos are worth so much.

Tubs is undefeated vs Shula, 3-1 vs Fulmer (only loss in 1999), 3-2 vs Richt, and 3-3 vs Spurrier while at Auburn.

Only at the Myth was he not at least 500 against those guys, and let’s face it, yooyoyoyyoyoyoooooyoooooo know the Myth is a cesspool.

Perhaps the cops who put a $15,000 price tag on Tuberville’s laptop were working in Columbus last year when “burglars” “stole” A.J. Hawk’s $500 XBox games and $250 Playstation game.

Do the insurance companies ever investigate these sort of things?

Well, I’m personally don’t want to count the chickens before they hatch like CBS is. Especially since, last I checked, there’s still only four BCS bowls this year.

Seriously, everybody click on the link in the first comment. Apparently there’s the Rose, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange bowls, as well as the “BCS National Championship” bowls. In their world, ND, Louisville, Texas, Florida and ND all get BCS at-large bids.

It all seems like a game of oneupmanship between the WWL and CBS for who can look the most imbecilic.

Um…yeah, ND gets two at-large bids all by themselves too. Sorry about that mistake.

It was $15,000 because it was from Halliburton.

Breaking News – the laptop was shipped overnight to College Station and now the Ags have a 15k coach that is worth waaay more than that 2 million dollar chump.

In other news, uat’s offensive planning hardware was also stolen, in this case from the team hotel in Gainesville. Mike Shula told reporters afterwards that a rouge band of preschoolers had made off with his legal pad and three crayons.

Wow, the Khmer Rouge set up shop in good old Hogtown. Who knew?

WC-

Witty.

The only part I don’t understand is, why were the thieving children red?

Auburn is a joke, I’m glad everyone else recognizes that

The only part I don’t understand is, why were the thieving children red?

They were, uh, the offspring of LSU fans from Baton Rouge. Yeah, that’s the ticket…

I’ve given this some further thought.
Maybe the laptop is so valuable because the batteries now, apparently, double as WMD’s.
