The last time Auburn installed a new offense, they immediately fielded the best SEC team of this decade. I’m not saying they’ll be world beaters, but it’s hard to imagine they will be less productive on offense than they were last year.

Did anybody notice the tent sized velour jacket hanging over the men’s valet stand (aka coat rack ) in the master bedroom! Awesome!

Also check out the living room and guess which chair the Manginos?

@29, yeah, I got nothing. Pity. I was looking forward to that one. Did NowLive archive it anywhere else?

…nice to see that Coach Mangino is a fan of Newcastle Brown Ale. Looks like a beer drinker, doesn’t he?

The wicker chairs in the basement threw me for a loop, though. Is there rebar re-enforcement?

I was wondering when that SMU clip would show up here. I almost sent it to Orson weeks ago, but as an SMU fan (yes, Virginia, they do exist), I really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

On the bright side, I was pretty impressed with the MC Hammer move, but I have no idea what Thomas Morestead (potential Ray Guy candidate — you gotta have a good punter when you’re SMU) was doing looking through his legs. Is this some new fangled thing the kids are doing these days, or just evidence that our punter really is a white stiff with no rhythm (as it should be for punters, probably).

Yes. Nothing but dead air.

I think I saw something like 7, maybe 8 televisions in that Mangino tour. Am I being a little too middle-aged for thinking that’s over the top?

Wow, that’s the new Pony Express? Half of them are wearing away jerseys and half home jerseys so they don’t even know if they’re coming or going. I guess that’s what you get when you hire a head coach with a woman’s first name. The only hope I hold onto is that those guys learned the YMCA song at one of the many Metroplex-area Showbiz Pizzas in the area when they were kids. If they’re dancing as a salute to Billy Bob and his wonderful Rock-a-Fire animatronic friends, I’m ok with that.

True fact department: Upton Sinclair was a communist, married a psychic, believed in telepathy, wrote in a backyard tree house and…….not so unbelievably…….ran for governor of California.

I’d imagine every one of the doorways is wide enough to accommodate two mid-size sedans.

Comments regarding Casa Mangino, aside from wondering which wall he’s allowed to run through saying, “OH YEEEEAAAHHH!”:

* Unless that was taken during the fall, Coach needs to water the plants.

* What? No diving board?!?

* No wonder he works eighty hour weeks. He’s not allowed a man cave in that house.

* That realtor is getting really excited. “Come over here and check this out, Doris! The Mangino house is getting thirty hits an hour…we need to double the asking price!”

Tony @ #14…I did like the joke and well done…like I said I was throwin’ weak shit, just pickin’.

I, too, was a journ. major, although I ‘minored’ in French majors…surprisingly enough, at both Florida and Georgia (and one from Kansas via the Sorbonne of all places…still trying to figure that one out)…don’t know why, I just attracted them (maybe my cu…linary skills?)…and apparently some of that french just stuck…in places that didn’t leave a visible mark. Interesting aside…they all were petite, well-structured, with brunette short hair, and all had wonderful accents, even when speaking french…weird. Variations on a theme…oh, and two are now lawyers…go figure…
