  1. I probably haven't paid much attention, over the years, to knob-slobbing of play callers. Maybe it's that, or maybe it's just that now the Master is calling our plays, but it sometimes seems the kudos are over the top. On the other hand, it might be the years of GDGD using animal crackers, dartboards, or random license plate numbers (joking - he was calling whatever Mack told him to call, and giving Mack credit when it worked) followed by Potato head and MensaTom not calling diddle-e-squat. Whatever, when it works, it's Bee-fucking-yootyfull.
  2. Looking back at that Arkansas game, where Card had nothing going, and Casey came in and commenced to put points on the board... I thought we might actually have a QB who had at least some of "it". I'm still not sure whether he's a dumbass or just using the wrong drugs. A lot of Surly shows serious dislike for him, but to me he's simply pathetic. Damn.
  3. '64 loss in Austin was as big a heartbreaker as the '62 win was an explosion of joy. It was a typically tight, tight game. We basically dominated, but just couldn't score. Arky hit that 80-yard punt return before halftime, 3rd was scoreless. We tied it at 7 early in 4th, they took the lead back about halfway, and we went on the same sort of long drive as we had in '62, like around 15 plays, and scored with about a minute left. Darrell never went for a tie at end-game, but the offense was confused about what to do, whether to kick or go for two, so was just standing around like they were waiting for the kicker. The TD had been scored by our super stud running back, Ernie Koy - at 6'3" and 235, he was bigger than some of the linemen. With the play clock running down, Darrell sent the backup RB, Hix Green, running onto the field to call timeout. I think coaches didn't get to call t-o back then, or maybe it was too far for coach to run down the sideline. We huddled up on the sideline and called the play for the two-pointer and the win: a pass over the middle to Ernie. Back to the field, but the ref stopped play and said, nope, the backup had subbed in by running out onto the field. Koy had to come out, and Hix - not a big guy - had to stay in. The pass was short, and Hix couldn't get back to it. Final score, 14-13. I think that was also the year the fucking Arkies sold their band seats to boosters, and we allowed their band to stand on the sidelines on the west side near our bench. Annoying s hell. By the way, if you haven't endured two or three hours of super high-volume literal screeching "WOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo PIG! Sooey!", then you probably don't get the extent of the hate. It's not a joke. All that said, I expect us to win. I see it likely that we kick their ass... but I also won't be surprised if it turns into a brawl and a close one. How to characterize it? Here you go: if Vandy had this kind of hate for us, we would have lost that game by three touchdowns.
  4. I do grilled ham'n'cheese on separate slices - prefer sourdough, but eh - add a sunny side up egg on ham side, close, snarf. Big Opa cuppa. MMmmmmmmmm.
  5. Reckon 300 about right. I don't think that's an approved usage, but gotta admire the accuracy.
  6. No baloney, it's just sawdust and pink slime scooped off the floor at the meat packers' plants. Peanut butter and mayonnaise on wheat. NOTE: Hellman's only, none of that Mackrel Whip junk.
  7. Didn't hit you in the face, though, just doinked off the mask. You shoulda caught it.
  8. You won't have to catch it... it'll be stuck in your mask.
  9. Tell you what, we hit that first down around the ten, I thought we were gonna win it. One of the biggest last-second disappointments ever.
  10. Cheaper than nuking them from orbit.
  11. You've left out the lamination of their wimmens.
  12. 30 years and 40 pounds ago, that was a hot, hot young lady.
  13. True dat. Howsomever... it's never to early to ignore the possibility of having to replace Sark, whether illness, death, or a call from Jerrah. And if something actually does happen, who ya gonna call? Guy that does the AFLAC ads - the shorter one - probably not interested, but he might have an opinion...
  14. When Quinn is ON, We Gonna Win That's all we need to Know. Hook'em
  15. Thinking more like "Coach, if I can't get more PT, I'm gonna hafta get in the portal." "Well... bye."
  16. Yep. Had some right-in-the-hands drops coupled with "wtf, you don't have to knock the CB on his ass, but at least get in his way...".
  17. Props for bringing in recon force. Even if unintentional...
  18. Guessing partly "why should I bust my ass in practice, when I don't see the field on Saturday" versus "you don't get in the game because you don't run your routes and catch and block in practice" resulting in "you should take your talents elsewhere and quit wasting practice reps here".

    Getting old sucks

    Said overnight after surgery, one day in bed, easy does it five or six days, no problems at all. Day in bed at home was because had a bleedy leg vein, no problemo.

    It's fine when the plumber's actually there to do the relight. I've got a son and son-in-law who've had the ablation procedure, stopped the afib for both.

    Don't let the pilot light go out. It's a bitch to restart.
  22. Is it your opinion that explicit editorial constructions are virtually unreal?
  23. If... if... if... Triple if projection, impressive and Surlily done!
