  1. I’m thinking now would be an excellent time for Paul Bryant Jr to let the moths fly out of his wallet and get Arch back on this side of the Mississippi; all the way to Tuscaloosa, in fact. Y’all have wasted his highly talented 6’4” 225# ass with ability to move in the pocket AND throw accurately with consistency. I’ve been crying for him to get playing time for weeks.
  2. P.S. I’ve never been to Greenland and can’t find it on a map. Don,Jr. says it’s really awesome.
  3. Yinz have done poached quite enough corches, players and whatnot from University of Ollabomma affa-letticks, TYVM. Poach Bruce Pearl, why don’t you?
  4. Neither. It’s Dr. Stephen Brule, evidently. If you were an NFL general manager, would you draft Jalen Milroe in any round? I feel sorry for him but he needs a serious amount of training at the basic level before I want him playing quarterback for me again. God be wi’ ye, young man. Maybe my beloved Crimson Tide is entering the downward spiral to the crumbling path to the valley of the agony of defeat. Look - I have never lorded a victory over anyone Alabama played in any sport but I have read a number of scores of random football games with great satisfaction (Some team 77 - Franchione A&M Zip) (Anyone X+1 - Auburn X). To the victor go the spoils. C’est la vie, say the old folks, goes to show you never can tell. I still love college football. Go win it all, Horns. I’m hanging it up for a few days.
  5. Well, ain’t this a fuckin bitch! Our pretty decent rb Justice Haynes entered the portal a few days ago and today announced he will be on Michigan’s team when we play then on New Year’s Eve in the bridesmaid bowl. Sonuvabeeotch. I blame OU. Shit.
  6. My team of skilled exterminators can be called out for a reasonable fee.
  7. The ref, David Smith, played in victory on this very field as qb for Alabama in 1986 in a breakout game for both Bobby Humphrey and Derrick Thomas. Thomas sacked the Penn State qb so hard he walked into the Bama defensive huddle on the following play and Joe Pa had to call time out from the sidline. Humphrey had a couple of long Td runs and big yards for the day. Smith, who had feet of clay, tried to run in the red zone and went down “like a British heavyweight,” Brent Musberger said on the call that night. Bama won by 20 or so. Big upset for Bill Curry as PSU were defending champs. Florida and Emmitt Smith brought us back down to Earth the following week in Birmingham.
  8. Contra: Infinite references on Surly and its predecessors to your little brother team, its fans, players, students, coaches and essence as “aggy” (never capitalized). My pore ole addled Alabama licker brane syndrome was so severe that I attended Rice. I hate and despise all things Auburn 10,000 times more than you loathe A&M. And I’m still pulling for Texas on Saturday. Clemson is nothing more than Auburn with a lake.
  9. Fair enough but what Clemson does amounts to using artificial noise to subvert the QB’s signals, which IS against SEC rules, a la Miss State’s infernal cowbells.
  10. I mean they’re blasting right up until the got damn center snaps the ball, and beyond. It usually causes 3-4 false starts per game.
  11. The obnoxiously loud Clemson band always plays some dissonant unrhythmic bullshit tune when the opponent is on offense and they hold the final notes until way past the point of whatever that line is. Refs alwsys allowed them to get away with it each time we played them in CFP championship or semis. Nossir, I don’t like it. The DKR home crowd will more ghan make up for it.
  12. Kirby/UGA has been playing the “D Line Pre Snap Shift” game ever since he has fuckingbeen at Georgia. Success quotient in inducing false starts has been high, penalties called rare. Nick coached our teams up on it and we beat them more often than not but the Offense has to be expecting the shift.
  13. Until Sark findx a way to play Arch, Horns may start calling it the Red Ass Zone?
  14. Talking heads on CBS Cover 3 this morning talked like the Surly SECCG string with overscheming Sark, Arch-less offense, Quinn shortcomings and FGs not TDs and Auburn’s missed FG kicks as dueling scapegoats. “UGA lost to UGA’s backup was a repeated theme. One guy daid he thought Quinn’s throwing mechanics have been off since the broken collarbone (when was that? ‘22?). Lots of harping on low yards per carry rushing while saying out the other side of his mouth how Texas has an elite O line.
  15. Irish road stright to semis free pass. We can’t ssy a damn word about being “left out.” Just see this Sunday last year. Lose to Vandy and OU, don’t expect to get in the CFP. Simple as that. Wait till next year (sigh).
  16. Well, well. Ain’t this a bitch? I grew tired of watching what was apparently going to be a big Clemson win, said fuck it snd went on to bed (yeah, yeah; I’m an old fart; get up early and go to bed early). What hath the morning brung us? 95% of the post-SECCG posts on here are negative to whiny to downright hostile vs Sark, Quinn, Auburn, the O Line, other Surly posters or all of the above. Then I read of SMU’s big comeback trumped by Clemson’s walkaway very long field goal. So, apparently now the Committee will not be able to find a way to justify sending Bama to be sacrificed in the Horseshoe or on the Golden Dome in the midst of a fucking winter storm. Well, you know what? Maybe we shouldn’t have shit the bed vs both Vandy AND Oklahoma? Maybe we don’t DESERVE to be in the CFP. At least the Texas Longhorns are IN the motherfucker. And if you’re IN IT you can WIN IT. Now, say ten Hail Marys, my sons. Go forth and sin no more. 11:00 will be here soon. The Bama weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth will be loud and long. The sidewalk fan chorus to THOW OUT THAT YANKEE DA BOWAH will begin anew. Well, as my Yankee childhood friends used to chant, “Damn, damn, damn-shit fadiddlehopper!” Wait’ll next year. I hope I’m wrong.😑
  17. Man, Steempy, those were the days. For a young student couple without many bucks, Jamie’s was the ticket. My wife and I loved Jamie’s. Delicious burgers and the best chips and salsa in town. Several amenities stood out. High quality beef and ingredients, no charge for refilld of iced tea or sodas, and the most efficient use of wait staff until the advent of phone apps 35 or 40 years in the future. Here’s the deal - When we were seated, the hostess handed us menus and our waitress took drink orders and placed two copper bowls of delicious house salsa and a big basket of thin, tasty, hot chips on the table. I always ordered the Owl burger, with lots of gooOoood bleu cheese embedded. Makes me salivate just thinking about it. Prices were reasonable for the era - say 15-20 for a nice dinner for two including chips, salsa, 8 oz ground sirloin burger, house salad, dessert, etc. I saved the best feature for last: after the initial trip to bring chips y salsa and take drink orders, you never had to look for waitstaff or tell them to stay away for a while so you could enjoy uour food. In the center of each table, built into the sugar caddy, was a miniature flagpole with a tiny movable-up-and-down Texas state flag. Ready to order? Raise the flag! Need more tea or chips or dessert? Raise the flag! Thus eliminating the hovering waitstaff. Annnd, Jamie’s had a hot fudge brownie a la mode do die for. We saved up to go to Jamie’s. I think it was razed in the 80s but not sure. Anyone ever eat at the Jamie’s in Houston? I think there was another in Dallas at one time, with them little orderin’ flags.
  18. The “live” portion of Best In Show was a damn good parody of any Westminster Kennel Club Show.
  19. And . . . Cover #32 like a fucking blanket on possession downs; and Bump #86 hard coming off the line; and Pop that Evil Tom Petty twin looking quarterback hard early and often. Get the bye and enjoy the next few weeks, Horns. You earned it and you richly deserve it. Maybe you’ll get to enjoy helping ND lose their religion.
  20. In middle and high school I was big and moderately tough but slow as a sloth. I did have rhythm and the ability to read music and play a horn. When football didn’t pan out, I was drafted to play French horn. To those who posted above about the 1999 LHB, I can say this. My high school band participated in the San Antonio band festival in 1967, headlined by the LHB. We trailed them along the parade route through miles of San Antonio. I heard and saw the LHB at a couple of Texas-Rice games in 1969 and 1970. I saw them again in 2010. Some marching bands have style and power and some can blow strong while staying in tune but usually not both. One thing never failed to give me goose pimples- the LHB playing The Eyes intro in perfect tune at a volume level of 11 on a scale of 10 max. Bama’s million dollar band always prided itself on precision and pitch. They could form up and do the halftime score. FWIW. The LHB was so good, I could never get comfortable at the Rose Bowl. Them guys are really good, with or without the huge ass drum. I’ll be listening and looking tonight. Listening to the band - looking at the asses of those chaps gals.
  21. Y’all know I’m an Alabama Crimson Tide football fan through and through but after reading that, I hope CJ and every team he plays for has great success. It gives me hope to read the sincere, perceptive, ENLIGHTENED words of a serious college athlete. Bravo, C.J. Baxter and all those who inspired him to overcome whatever life throws his way.
  22. Curt Cignetti just wants Indiana to get in. Shea Whigham has already signed on to play him in “I win. Google me!” coming soon from Universal.
  23. I like Wisky plenty. Talked to a lawyer this week who’s had W season tix for 35 years and faithfully attended. He is a loyal “Beddjer” (Fargo accent) fan but moaned their current QB is the worst they’ve had since he started going to games at Camp Randall. I did note in our game there the students disappeared completely after Jump Around. That’s not cool.
