  1. If you are looking for something that will keep you beverage cold and store your chew, The Chewzie might be perfect for you. The Chewzie
  2. Georgia and LSU, two charter members of the SEC, have played a grand total of 33 times. And that includes 5 matchups in the conference title game that probably would not have happened otherwise. From 1954 to 1977 they did not play each other. Until divisional play started in 1992, Florida and Tennessee played each other a grand total of 21 times, one of those a Gator Bowl matchup for some reason. There were two stretches of over 10 years where the two did not play. Alabama and Florida have only played each other 41 times, 10 of those in the SEC title game. Basically, SEC scheduling has been a total and random crap shoot from day one of the conference. While I am certainly anything but an SEC historian, anyone who thinks the conference will do the smart thing when it comes to scheduling and go to 9 games with a 3+6+6 model has no clue as to the nearly century long history of this conference. The only way we will get 9 games will be if the television networks pony up the cash. I think it is clear the conference won't do anything until the money is right. Not necessarily the wrong stance to take, or even the wrong stance to take, but it is certainly frustrating to those of us fans that would rather see Alabama play Texas than watch Alabama crush Mercer. I cannot see these bloated conferences lasting for very long as the scheduling imbalance is going to make too many schools upset. Maybe I am wrong and things get worked out but I just have this nagging feeling that there is another shakeup coming in college sports sooner rather than later in relation to conference alignment.
  3. One, I need this t-shirt. Two, the blue sign in the lower right corner saying that you must be 11 or older to purchase tobacco products makes me laugh for some reason.
  4. Which one of you was driving in Ontario last week?
  5. I looked that up earlier today as well and was surprised to discover this. Seems like Texas and Clemson would have played each other at some point in a random bowl game or some home-and-home back in 19-whatever. I find it weirdly fascinating when I see matchup of two teams that, despite college football having been played for 120+ years at this point, have never faced each other. This was also the case yesterday with Arizona State and Iowa State before the Big XII title game.
  6. Glad you did not die from hypothermia at last night's game. Which one of these shirtless dudes is you?
  7. Credit to @RexWilson for originally posting this in the game thread.
  8. The servers at MGoBlog must be blowing up right now.
  9. Google tells me there is the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), which looks to be the Florida equivalent to the UIL. There is also the Sunshine State Athletic Associate (SSAA) which, judging by the names of the schools shown in its football playoff brackets, is Florida's version of TAPPS. This school that was the beneficiary of Mayfield's donation participates in the SSAA in its Atlantic Coast Division. There are only 15 total teams listed and only 8 teams in the playoff bracket. So this Space Coast school may have won a state title but I don't think anyone is going to consider it the equal of a FHSAA state title. Those playoffs, by the way, are at the state quarterfinal round right now. It is fair to say that while the ESPN staff writer did not lie in her article, she maybe perhaps over-sold what exactly the team accomplished.
  10. https://www.winsipedia.com/texas Texas made a couple of trips to Chestnut Hill in the mid 70s to play Boston College. Without breaking out a map and doing a deep dive into the latitude and longitude of all opponents, I think this may be the farthest east Texas has ever played.

  12. Searched but did not see this anywhere so apologies if posted previously. If aggy knows about this then they will be wearing more jewelry than Mr. T back in the day. Custom Jizzy Jewellery
  13. According to the comments, there actually was a coin toss. So why this was done who knows. Someone channeling the old XFL perhaps.
  14. I am guessing the thieves drove faster than 55 when leaving Flavortown (Flavor Town? What is the proper spelling? And is it close to Funkytown?)
  15. Check the dark web. It's probably floating around there somewhere.
