  1. Have noticed dearth of clips for several years. Figgered it was subsumed under "illegal block in the back", as the relatively few actions seen that qualified - to me - as "clipping" did in fact get called "illegal... back".
  2. The Original Dickbutt. Ancient Rome.
  3. Not gonna take an F from teechur who can't spell "relevant". Although, mind you, "revelant" is a perfectly good word, but context says she probably doesn't know that. I'd blame Otto Korekt, but I don't think he lives in a red pen.
  4. Past is past... I feel good about Sept 7. I felt we matched up better against Meatchicken than UW did, in the CFP. Too bad we didn't get there, but, uhhhh past is past. Now, we look like we've got as good as lsat season, maybe better. It remains to be seen if the WR room is all we think, but the OL should be good or better, RB likewise, so offense in general good as or better, and QB isn't remotely an issue. Defensively, the middle almost has to drop off, but edge looks better, ILB should be close or better, and DB has to be better. Kicking? Got Bert back, not sure about holder, but... Punting? From what we've been hearing, we're not going to be punting, and if we do some, just need to make sure and not get blocked. Meatchicken lost a lot, apparently much more than we did, player-wise. And of course the Coaching turnover is huge. It's a good thing we get them early, before they have a chance to really gel. And those are pretty much the main reasons I feel confident about the game - today. Of course we've still got weeks to go, so things can certainly change, but today? Today I've got a W next to this game.
  5. Of course it's speculation. Duh? What isn't speculation is that it was the first time in ten tries Alabama was actually able to outscore Texas. The proximate cause of the loss, of you want to pin it on one thing, was Mack Brown's lack of preparation. Having as backup QB a true freshman, and giving that freshman nothing but garbage-time snaps consisting mostly of handoffs to fourth-string RBs was abject stupidity. That freshman was beyond bad, but Muschamp's D held Alabama in check, to the point that we were only 3 points down as the game drew to close. Desperation play-calling turned that from an incredibly close game to a scoreboard blowout... which was not indicative of the actuality. Mack's continued dogshit coaching was allowed to go on for more seasons, and his replacements turned out to be a dumbass followed by a certified asshole. Sark has turned out to be better than we probably deserve, but I'll take it. Hook'em.
  6. As said elsewhere elsewhen, I like Josh. All but the aggy fellation, but I understand piper payers call the tune, so... His schtick is corny as can be - I compare him to HeeHaw, which was every bit as country corny, but with damned good musicians (well, and those HeeHawHoneys). He's definitely interesting, right about a lot (other than aggy), and he pretty much eats that crow when he fucks up. I like Joel Klatt better, but Pate's not at all bad.
  7. Strap them kids in Give 'em a little bit of vodka In a cherry coke We're goin' to Oklahoma
  8. No! No! "Blow" is a figure of speech. Suck. Dammit.
  9. Moist not gonna cut it. Friction optimization demands a Pam sploosh.
  10. Yeah, but at least it wasn't a fifteen-second ad for Levis or Chuck Taylors...
  11. Friend had one of the first Honda two-wheelers in America, a little 150. Owner Manual was in Japlish, mostly with diagrams and numbers. Most inscrutable page was NOTICE! STANDING AT STOP NOT TO BLIPPING THROTTLE!
  12. My Universal Answer to any question that starts "Do you want to..." is nearly always "No, but if you need it, I'll damn sure do it."
  13. This is a pretty damn good idea. Good work, man. I think it could be improved by having an instant sign-on that can be used in the actual moment of need. Write it off as "car trouble" - as in "If I drove my car, I could be in trouble".
  14. Next stage of trembling, sure, why not.
  15. Hate to say it, but I think blow-U is a couple spots too low, there.
  16. If the pussies are dripping as well as trembling, count me in.
  17. They. Want. To. Be. In. Charge.
  18. The standard HC's argument is that they have problems landing recruits if they don't have 4-5 years on contract. I think the response to that, for aggy or anyone else, is to give the extension, but not the buy-out amount. That is, okay coach, you get two more years, but the buy-out stays at whatever - I'd go for a one-year parachute.
  19. Quick! Somebody call a lawyer!
  20. As we approach Thansgiving, we are going to be treated to innumerable replays of the final seconds of our last game against aggy. I, for one, am already looking forward to seeing #19 celebrating. I sincerely hope that we will also hear Dave South's expressionless deadpan "It's up. It's good..." in contrast to the white-jersey pandemonium on the field. As a preliminary, or a fill-in, I also hope to see Case derping his way through the ags to set that kick up. We may have to lead the way on that, and alternate it with the timeless Thujoning of it.
  21. Judging by the family picture, he got that - and the other - thing from his father... but not from his Mom's husband. 97, 99, 98, 96, 95, 94...
