Yes, it’s true: the decision to “Photo of the Day” the mysterious, tweeting billboard on Frederick Road by (one of) the new Momma Goldberg’s scored TWER a giant, digital shout out (and earned us several new followers on Twitter – so hop to it, advertising budgets… it’s worth it). Sure, we technically asked for it, but still, we couldn’t be more appreciative. And we haven’t seen a more beautiful billboard since 2008, in the old country.

So, again, thanks a million @LamarAuOp — here’s wishing you a bright, pigeon-free future and success in your campaign to bring live score updates to the Auburn sky (because that would be awesome). And about that whole “Mugshot-O-Vision” thing… we were totally kidding! War Eagle!

Remember the Auburn barbecue grill that tweeted its meat?

Well, the digital billboard – aka Mugshot-O-Vision – along Glenn / Frederick Road (just before the new Momma Goldberg’s en route to Tiger Town) has gotten in on the act. And you can follow it, too.

In case you can’t read it, it says Zac Etheridge has been cleared to play. War Eagle #4!!!, those lines, of course, being the blight common to all computer screen photographs.

@LamarAuOp — please give us a shout out (with the URL, of course)! Just for an hour. Or just through four cycles. Whatever!

The immediate buzz from the Auburn camp this Media Days has come from questions regarding Aairon Savage – not whether he’ll be at 100 percent by the Arkansas St. game, but how many hearts he’ll break before he gets there.

Weygand!

Some years ago, on eBay safari, I bagged VCR College Bowl Game (1987), college competition to the NFL-specific VCR Quarterback (1986), one of the better selling* VCR games competing for America’s attention in the faddish mid ‘80s**. It had Bo on the cover (and Vinny Testaverde). Sold.

It seems ludicrous and sounds completely ridiculous to speak of the VCR as a gaming format, but for as long as the ill-fated concept of interactive VCR games lasted, the ad copy actually read that way – “Clue II and original Clue… both on VCR!”

It also seems ludicrous that I would take any amount of time before reselling the game to dub the VHS tape to DVD and screen-cap*** the loads of Auburn footage used to narrate the game. But that’s just what we do. And do. And do. And there are some choice scenes: option pitches to Bo, a dazed and confused-looking Mike Shula (redundant?), one of my favorite Auburn cheerleaders ever (those sweaters… Pause VCR indeed), one of the more stunning Auburn receptions I’ve ever seen (Freddy Wegand – I think – goes positively rubber man on an Ole Miss – I think – defender, diving a full five yards to somehow haul in a Pat Washington bomb), and host Jimmy Johnson strangling co-host Barry Switzer after Jimmy picks up the “Intercepted” card.

Enjoy!

* I think Clue was the most popular. My friend had it. We just watched the clips straight through.

** I received the austere Armchair Quarterback for Christmas ’87. I remember it being beyond boring.

*** I still don’t know how to rip video from DVDs in order to post it to YouTube, but this was even before I had a Flip Vid to just record it off the TV.

The Auburner brings out the big guns.

The unfreakingbelievably big guns.

There are no words.

Go there to pay homage.

Auburn local / friend of the site / photographer TJ Latham tweets: “Nothing more satisfying than seeing a shirt you made at the bar.”

Sorry, Little Italy, but this one’s better.

Since our World Cup overfloweth, I snapped this photo for Jerry while paying for my Creede Simpson celebration pizza at the relatively new place in town – the good relatively new place.

Aubie graduated. And will not leave McAlister’s.

This is almost certainly the work of the best balloonist this side of the Chattahoochee:
