  1. Yes. But no. He wasn't, but he is. Does he recover? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.

    You know Willie said that finding pot saved his life, right? Sure as hell worked for him so far.
  3. She? I always thought the Tooth Fairy looked like he was related to Liberace.
  4. Took him wayyyyy too long to throw it, no doubt.
  5. Probably a stoopid kweschun, but did we ever see Ewers taking a hit or other action that caused the oblique injury?
  6. Yeah, I was gonna do the 3 Wheeler, but it just seemed wrong. I shoulda thrown a water bottle.
  7. Ultimately, "un-paid" refs are getting jollies one way or another - prestige, freebies, whatever. Theoretically, they could be "fired" for failures, which is a fairly small threat. But not even that seems to be done, at least not openly and with reporting. To me, besides the idea of "pro" reffing, there is an element of criminality that would not necessarily be addressed with full-time refs... Gambling rears its head, subsumed under the general term "Vegas". Big sports books try to even out their bets and live on the vig. That's not always possible, and it seems to be a near certainty that when the bets fall heavily one way, a crooked ref will be required to make sure the outcome goes the "right" way. I don't know about NFL refs being professionals, but anyone who has watched NFL games more than a couple of times has seen calls that are obviously wrong and either aren't or just can't be reviewed or are reviewed and not corrected. I don't see full-time refereeing keeping that from happening. I suspect the DPI call in the Georgia-Texas game was a result of exactly that sort of thing. The guy who made the call was way late throwing his hanky, probably because he thought he needed to prevent Texas from scoring. Between the announcers carrying on about the totally shit call and the fans going nuts, the word came down from wherever to not push the issue. Meanwhile... how much would it actually cost the SEC to have full-time refs for football?
  8. One of the major complaints about football officiating is accountability. A proposal in this area has been to utilize officials who actually are professionals, and who would be held accountable for "bad" calls, with possible loss of pay or even position as a potential result of failure. The usual rejection of this proposal is that it would just be too darned expensive to pay full-time refs, so we gave to rely on part-time "hobbyist" officials. Since this thread's (current) title mentions SEC refs, let's keep it to that conference. How much do SEC refs get paid currently? I would guess that there are a few positions for administrative or supervisory personnel already, and that refs receive some sort of travel & living expense payments as well. We can assume that these amounts would necessarily continue, but any sort of "honoraria" are involved, we can probably ignore those costs. What would it take to hire and manage those 14+ refs for every game?
  9. Everyone who has a little brother knows exactly what's going on here...
  10. Yeah, that's more like the clip she was watching. Someone must've already edited the sound - It was either Sunday or Monday morning.
  11. I only had a glance at the screen, and that isn't it. The one I saw had him sitting in front of a Georgia/SEC backdrop, similar to what we see in Sark's pressers.
  12. Hovering? No need to hover. Hell, let's see... Maybe a little advice about how to not lose to Vanderbilt?
  13. There are so many things going wrong at QB that I have to think it's both physical and mental. Whether that's 50-50 or leaning one way or the other, I dunno. But... unless this week cures both, we're doing ourselves major disservice by continuing to put him on the field. I understand Sark apparently can't really tell, so it won't surprise me a lot if Quinn starts in Nashville. What will surprise me is if he does that and shows the same problems and Sark doesn't go to the backup, good hair, famous relatives, and all.
  14. Or a giant gaping vagina (NTTAWWT). So, thousand-to-one? I don't disagree much, but I was wondering if anyone had heard it. I was doing something else, walking by, when she was watching it, and overheard the "booze-hound" remark. He seems like more of an asshole than a vagina, although to be fair I don't have anything against vaginas, even gaping ones, while assholes are ... I was going to write "distasteful", but I'm still doing "phrasing". I'm not sure if my general opinion of him would be any different whether he said it or not.

    Getting old sucks

    My first thought, but then I remembered the difference between heart valves and legs.
  16. When the QB absolutely is zero threat to run under any circumstance at all, the D has an extra man, in effect. That's not a Good Thing.
  17. Is there some issue with Saban and DeBoer? It just seems like Nick is laying low, being an advertising star and sliding into full talking head mode.
  18. This is where I am... we win, but not a slaughter.
  19. Sure, but how much fun is a cripple fight when one of them is four feet taller and two hundred pounds heavier? ANSWER: Lots of fun for lots of folks if the little one gnaws the big guy's nuts off. SEC NOTE: Vandy was "fined" $100,000 for the recent field-storming. Is there a repeat offense clause in there somewhere?
  20. Miz Long had a youtube of what appeared to be Kirby's post-game. I thought someone had spoofed it, because in the bit that I heard he referred to someone - I think Sark - as "a booze-hound". According to Miz Long, he was quite the mouthy asshole about everything and everyone - coaches, players, fans... I don't feel like listening to the half hour to find that, but does it ring a bell with any of y'all?
  21. Gotta say I was surprised - and then pissed - that we went back to Quinn to start the second half. I understand the desire by some folks to defer to Sark, but without more information, I still think it was a mistake. Mileage, variance, blah blah blah.
