    it could happen, but I expect something slightly different

    Do any of you remember the Bill Callahan Nebraska team that went to USC in 2006? Callahan's only goal in that game was to get out without being completely roasted. He apparently felt they had zero chance at actually winning, so he at least didn't want to take the beatings Arkansas got (70-17 and 50-14). So Brave Nebraska ran the clock, sat on the ball, ran between the tackles, handed off on 3rd and 8, just played the most pussy style of football they could to keep the score manageable. It more or less worked. USC won 28-10, which was about as close as Big Ten runner-up Michigan kept it in the Rose Bowl (32-18 SC). 

    THAT is what I expect from A&M at Clemson. They don't have a prayer of winning so in order to maintain the fiction of the $75 Million Man and his red-hot program momentum, a blowout must be avoided at all costs. 

    You forget aggy has a Heisman-candidate quarterback. Cat may shut it down three games into the season to protect his draft stock. He's that good.

    In college, 7-11 had two dogs for 99 cents, all the 7-11 chili and cheese sauce you wanted included. I’d put the hot dogs on top of the box, fill the box with a pint of runny chili and cheese, pay my buck, then dip my dogs in a huge bowl of chili and cheese, and eat what was left with a spoon. For a buck.
    I’m not saying it was good. I’m saying it cost a buck.

    That's called winning.

    It definitely didn't go down like this. But like... what if it went down like this?

     

    I used to watch Alex Kirshner's Rock Concert every Saturday night. Here's one of my favs:

    Suckuzz?  You could be standing in a few feet of cool water taking those photos.  Instead?  You chose to stand on a hot sidewalk.  Yes, some of us really are living the dream.  

    I stepped out of the shade......and into the Light. I peacefully returned to the cool shade of the Cypress......and my cold Bud Light waiting there for me.

    Typically, I just tie mine into a standard overhand knot. But if I know I’m going into the sketchy waters of South America, I’ll go ahead and do a sheet bend, glove hitch, or even a reef knot just to be safe.

    Why do you say they are going to screw it up?  I have no idea, just curious.  Seems like they are willing to put a little money into it which the Kinser's didn't, hence the shitty conditions.

    My buddy and I talked with a guy who is in the golf business who volunteered his help to the Kinsers. He said that the new folks want to put in a music/putt putt area where 8 and 9 are, then reconfigure 1-7 into a 9 hole par three. He said the new guys aren't going to do anything the first four months, let things "quiet down", then start making the changes. It'll be around Christmas time when folks are busy and aren't thinking about Butler.

    I certainly can't speak for anyone else, but trying to squeeze 9 holes out of 1-7 is screwing it up. It'll be a cluster fuck on the south side of the course.If people want putt putt, i"m sure there's one close by somewhere. Maybe something that's been around a while.

     

    But hey - C3! They're cool!
