  1. If Saban had done it with Texas, we'd be totally cool with it, except we're Texas, and someone would have a "Fire Nick Saban" thread up this morning after the loss last night. As far as the schedule, the SEC arranges the schedule to maximize post season chances for the teams. They play one less conference game, few significant OOC opponents, have a cupcake game late, and one other thing. They space out the big games between name programs. They avoid having Bama play Georgia, LSU, and another hot team in consecutive weeks. You play three top fifteen schools in a row, you're going to lose one. Teams can't be up every week. However, if you schedule LSU, have an FBS school in between, and then play Georgia, you've got a better chance at going undefeated. The reason they do this is because it works. They're not stupid enough to change to nine conference games and scheduling tough OOC games because the B1G and B12 complain about it. They'll keep doing it as long as it works.
  2. Weird. If I was Philly, I would have burned clock before taking a time out.
  3. Didn't get to see the game. On a scale of 1-10, ten being Cal-TCU, how ugly was it?
  4. Oh, yeah. Sorry to post something serious when I usually just shitpost, but what dog breeders have done to a lot of purebreds is criminal. Most of the current bulldogs get out of breath just sitting. UGA VII and VIII both died really young from medical complications. Each of them only lasted as mascots for two years. Average life span of bulldogs is now something like eight years. It was obvious that a pack of fifty UGAs would have run out of gas chasing Bevo as he strolled to the fifty yard line. Also, quick note. Won't pretend I'm a cowboy or anything, but my dad ran cattle and I worked with them a little. They hate small animals that get close to them. It's a lot like we get when an insect flies too close and we're not sure what it is. Almost every large non-carnivore has that it common. That's where the old story of elephants being afraid of mice comes from. Couldn't believe they brought that bulldog that close, and also that those photographers were dumb enough to sit there with their back to a longhorn five feet away and the only barrier being that little temp fence that a five year old could run through.
  5. There is a bit of serendipity in the fact that the Seahawks ended the game with a special teams screw up after the Tony Romo thing.
  6. Not calling it a win for another two minutes of game clock.
  7. Or score a touchdown. Touchdown's good, too.
  8. When the last minute of a basketball game takes twenty minutes because of deliberate fouls.
  9. Yeah, and UGA would have whipped BEVO if he'd been motivated. They're fukkin bulldogs. They're supposed to be able to whip ass on cattle.
  10. Old Yeller. Watched that movie when I was a kid, won't ever watch it again, and still haven't forgiven Disney.
  11. No kidding. Dittos for Kathleen Turner.
  12. You got me curious about Saban. In terms of winning percentage, Saban's at .792, but .880 at Alabama. Bud Wilkinson is at .827, but also had a 47 game winning streak. Knute Rockne was .881. All three of them coached over twelve years, so they turned over at least three complete rosters. Weird note while researching this. If Saban wins Monday, he'll be tied for total career wins with
  13. Henry VI Act IV, Scene 2
  14. That was the obvious.
  15. Forgive my lack of knowledge about the Houston Cougars, but what the hell does the hand sign mean, besides the obvious?
  16. Yeah. For every great comedy there were several "How to Commit Marriage" movies. Anyone remember that? Horrible comedy from the sixties with Jackie Gleason and Bob Hope. Only reason I remember it is because I was an usher in a theater where it was showing and had to see it 21 times. Especially before vhs, dvds and streaming, bad movies just disappeared after their theater run.
  17. I did it on the tailgate of a pickup. Does that count?
  18. I'd betcha the networks would shit a brick if they tried to schedule against the NFL. It would split advertising dollars.
  19. True. But avoiding bowl games and the NFL has put them in a position of scheduling on a Monday night after the holidays are over. I've gotta be at work Tuesday morning, as do most people. Outside of Alabama and Clemson, nobody gives a shit who wins. As far as I was concerned, college football was over four hours after Bevo tried to gore UGA.
  20. Okay, gotcha. First, Judd Apatow. Yeah. I see his name associated with a project, and I know it's gonna be something I'm not interested in. This is a specific type of comedy designed to keep production costs down, and also, in my mind, associated with millennial (Lena Dunham) tropes of navel gazing. If you trace it back, I think you find it in a lot of Woody Allen films, and you could argue that Seinfeld did a lot of it. There tends to be a lot of self-flagellation in it, and whether it works or not depends entirely on the talent of the writers and the cast. It's not generally my type of humor, because I find it depressing, although I like some of Seinfeld's stuff.
  21. PETA exists to raise money for PETA. All they do is go out and do the most outrageous things they can think of to get publicity so crazy cat ladies, aging hippies, and raging soy boys will think they're edgy and send them money. You're spot on. Give them attention and they're happy.
  22. He didn't say it wasn't funny. He said you're an old fart.
