4 hours ago, pch said: On rainy days in middle school when we couldn't go outside for PE, our coach ran Humble Broadcasting Network films of SWC games. Kern Tips was the voice of the SWC and long before there were multiple networks broadcasting different games, his voice on the radio was like having a 50 yard line seat in the stadium. This link describes some of his many contributions: https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/tips-kern
"Third and a long 3 to go... just outside the Baylor 30... Cotten under center... the snap... turns left... hands it to Ramirez... off tackle he dives... powers down to the 27 where he nestles in a nest of red jerseys... and the chains move... first down Longhorns!"
Names, not numbers - it was radio, man, we didn't care about the numbers we couldn't see. You're right, it was like being there.
One of my uncles, who was on retainer to Humble and regularly got in the press box, told me Kern would arrive a bit before kickoff, hang his jacket on the back of his chair, unbuckle his belt, undo the top button on his pants, put a paper bag on the table and take out two bottles of whisky, one for himself and one for everyone else, take a big hit out of his, light and set, pull up the mic and start talking.

Yessir. I was at that one, cold and wet. Pretty much my all-time favorite aggy choke. Near as I could tell, that ag who had the interception was trying to lateral it when he got wrapped up... all he had to do was go down and commence to savor the win. Perfection in every way.

The face mask that turned the runner's head around 180 degrees, right in front of the white hat cocksucker... no flag...
Now that they failed that, the moron Ref is trying to put a second back on the clock and chase everyone off the field. Fuck me.

Well... yeah... that's how you implement consequences.
Like to see widening review topics, and allow coaches to call for a review even with no T-O left, with a yardage penalty if not successful. Delay of Game.

Still seeing some bitching about JMU and Tulane... The plan was always to get 10 of the top fifteen or so, plus a couple of feel-good patsies, so it's not really about them. Even without us, half the rest of the damned field was SEC already. The only way in for us was dropping Bama out, which was not politically possible, or maybe 0U, but they beat Bama.

Just now, Im_smarter_then_you said: Kind of relevant though. You remember the early Mack days? Most of his assistants had no hope of being a hc. You want guys that are wanted. You would think Aark would be a hot name for nfl jobs
Sark to Dolphins, Boom to HC for one season Audition. Who does he get as OC?
2025 Citrus Bowl - Texas vs. Michigan - 2:00pm on ABC

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. I just couldn't bring myself to write "green", forgot to go back and change Baylor to 0U, and when I noticed it was too late to edit. Didn't look like anyone gave a fuck, so I didn't bother to mention.
Obviously the portal fuckery has made most all of surly forget about Meatchicken... other than most of their OL seemingly interested in getting the hell out of Ann Arbor... Psych!!
