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 didnât 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. Bamaâs 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. Iâll be listening and looking tonight. Listening to the band - looking at the asses of those chaps gals.

Yâall know Iâm 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.

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Bama Llama replied to TKthunder2's topic in Football
Curt Cignetti just wants Indiana to get in. Shea Whigham has already signed on to play him in âI win. Google me!â coming soon from Universal. -
I like Wisky plenty. Talked to a lawyer this week whoâs had W season tix for 35 years and faithfully attended. He is a loyal âBeddjerâ (Fargo accent) fan but moaned their current QB is the worst theyâve had since he started going to games at Camp Randall. I did note in our game there the students disappeared completely after Jump Around. Thatâs not cool.

Iâm with Old Nasty above only Iâll raise his statement from not giving up on America to not giving up on Humanity. The garment rending and teeth gnashing among us surely knew that one side must lose every election and youâre delusional to assume victory. Darrel Royal would kick anyoneâs ass who assumed a win, and so would Paul Bryant. If a dear one dies of old age it should not be a shock. Pay your respects and move on. Take a couple of days off from news feeds if only to allow uourself to breathe. Donât be so fearful of conversations with those whose statements may be distasteful. Say what you feel, but listen. Keep moving forward (Walt Disney). If youâre going through hell, keep on going (Churchill). Imagine no religion, above us only sky (Lennon). Stay in the game, donât give away your future and that of your descendants to the unenlightened. Long live Jambi.

Fair enough. Never much been a fan of same color jerseys and pants other than all whites with some stripes on pants, with traditional headgear. Texas, Bama, Pedo State and Alldumb whites are classics to me, except Alldumb are disgusting, just because.
-
Back in the sixties, before the SEC decided visitors must wear white jerseys (except at LSU), Bama and Tennessee always played in solid colors in Birmingham. Blood red, pumpkin orange, green stadium steel, and vivid green grass. Nice contrast.

Maturation, fiscal awareness and the pursuit of knowledge >> masturbation, physical gratification and the pursuit of whores. We can always hope.

Brian Kelly LSU Football: Corndogs, Corruption, and Cameramen (dead)
Bama Llama replied to texifornia's topic in Football
Brings to mind the immortal words of Howard Schnellenberger at his first press conference after being hired as head football coach of the Louisville (Loowavul) Cardinals: âThe Louisville Cardinals are on a collision course with the national championship. The only variable is time.â Good old Howard. I believe his next stop was Blow U. -

You guys fret too much. Just keep winning. When thereâs no one left to play and Fowler and Herbstreit have finished yelling, take your trophy and put it in the case. Well done. Itâs time to euthanize the conference championship games and their promoters. We didnât miss them before 1992 and the segue from regular season to CFP post season games would make better sense. As a Bama fan, unless we can somehow win the SECCG and get a bye, all I want to see is my team in one of the 5-8 slots hosting a first round game. ND vs Bama in Tuscaloosa would be pretty cool, considering we were dead meat three weeks ago. -
Brian Kelly LSU Football: Corndogs, Corruption, and Cameramen (dead)
Bama Llama replied to texifornia's topic in Football
A little Tiger perspective. Not sure when it was discontinued but I am certain that during most if not all of the Bryant years a caged tiger was parked at the field end of the visiting teamâs tunnel so the players would literally have to pass the fucker to get onto the field as the LSU wacko hordes chanted âTIGER bait, TIGER bait, TIGER baitâ ad nauseum. Old Mike most definitely knew how to growl. Animal cruelty and dangerous as shit, to boot. Like ghose asdholes at Auburn forcing our national bird symbol to perform stunts at Possum Hair Stadium, a known hive of scum and villaint. An outrage! Between 1969 and 2000, LSU won exactly zero times over Alabama in Baton Rouge. They do sell hot spicy boudin there. And the Golden Girls are somewhat attractive if youâre into sexual gymnastics and daydreaming. I hope someone has hypnotized Milroe not to get the yips. Could be a long night otherwise. -
I refuse to spend the next four years watching news segments about the nature and extent of Trumpâs daily verbal excrements, At least we can watch some good old movies on TCM, at least until thatâs dissolved into nothingness by Zer Trumpgeist SS Shtuppenmeisters.

No sane adult can believe ANY other sane adult would vote for the Enemy of Enlightenment but they keep doing it. Thereâs the rub, Billy Shakespeare. Never give up, Joe. Why does Rice play Texas? Whereâs my hash?

Indeed there was something in the air yesterday. In the fall of 1969 when I was a lowly freshman at the Institute on South Main, we had a football coach named Bo Hagan. You may view above the few tattered remains of a wallpapering job for the ages. One fine inky dark night in 1969, intrepid Rice fans and students most precisely and completely covered the schedule bill board on South Main with hundreds (thousands?) of bumper stickers bearing the legend âFIRE BO HAGAN.â Hagan was an alumnus and former football player at the University of South Carolina. He was OC under Jess Neely until Neelyâs retirement in 1967. The Owls lost about three games for every one victory and the fan base, such as it was, had had enough. The administration called out the ganomies, who removed all but a few of the more stubborn stickers. If you embiggen the image a few stickers remain visible. Tis only just that South Carolina and Rice were victorious again. I searched in vaun for a good image of the fully stickered billboard, which I saw with my own two eyes. That fall we did manage to crush the warmongering VMI Keydets, 55-0, in one of Riceâs all time most lopsided wins. We also won at A&M. So, we had that going for us. There was a greatvlot of Led Zep II, Abbey Road and Quicksilver Messenger Service drifting across the yards at Rice that fall, along KLOL radio, weed smoke, hash smoke and way too much Judy Blue Eyes (hated that one).

Nothing was heard in the âLoveliest Village on the Plainsâ but the Mirthless Laughter of the Damnedâ and the mumblings of âSenatorâ Tommy Trump Ass Kiss (Wingnut) Tuberville.

That was the same crew that called our game vs Georgia- godawful officious intermeddlers. Main ref looked and talked and reasoned like Gomer Pyle before the Marines.

Survive and advance. If the players donât tighten up, unfortunate things will follow. I only wish my Bama prima donnas had tightened up enough after failing to blow the UGA game to play well enough to beat Vandy. Lea, Kill, et al. are good coaches and Vandy plays like a well-coached team.

Game Week Thread Game Week 2024, Week 8, Texas @ Vandy
Bama Llama replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
If Vandy runs a single successful shovel pass, assuming Sark & Co. saw the Alabama game tape, I shall be severely disappointed in all of you. -
Hereâs an excerpt. âStanding on the sideline with a red thermos cup that his manager constantly keeps filling with coffee, Pont has agonized while his Hoosiers have survived in the following manner: They began by edging Kentucky 12-10 when sophomore Quarterback Harry Gonso threw a fourth-down, 23-yard pass to End Al Gage that was deflectedâyesâinto his hands for a touchdown. Next they beat Kansas 18-15 on a 24-yard field goal by Dave Kornowa, who is not the regular place-kicker but who was asked to attempt it because Indiana's real kicker, Don Warner, had, at the time, an arthritic toe. The Hoosiers then topped Illinois 20-7 after Linebacker Brown Marks caused a first-down Illinois fumble on Indiana's 12-yard line late in the fourth quarter when Pont's team was clinging to a 13-7 lead. They had Iowa beaten the next Saturday until sophomore Halfback John Isenbarger decided it would be fun to try to run from punt formation on fourth down and failed, setting up the Hawkeyes for a go-ahead touchdown. Undaunted, Indiana came back to drive 60 yards for a score with 53 seconds left and win 21-17. Isenbarger, incredibly, did the same thing against Michigan the next week, and thereby made himself one of the Big Ten's most celebrated backs of the year. Instead of punting late in the game, he ranâfrom his own 13-yard lineâand failed. Michigan tied the score, and Pont's team had to drive 85 yards to win 27-20 in the last two minutes. That was the third time during the season Isenbarger had decided on his own to run instead of punt and the second time he had failed.â

Google âPunt, John, Punt!â a fine 1967 SI article about John Pont, who led the Hoosiers to the Big Ten Championship. He was named National Coach of the Year.
-
Always liked Indiana. Back in the day when their head coach was a guy named John Pont, the punter was a very good athlete. Pont green lighted him to fake any punt at any time in any game. Donât recall how many were successful, but it was more than few. Hope the Hoosiers go undefeated and win the playoff if SEC canât get it done.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Bama Llama replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
Apathy is the enemy moreso than Trump the Bloviator. In 2000, if only 10% more registered minority Democrats had made their way to the polls in this punkass backward state (according to SurlyWorld), Al Gore would have carried Alabama and made it to 270 and won the Presidency without carrying Florida, if we truly concede Florida, which I will never do. -
1. No Country For Old Men. Llewellyn Moss, wounded in the obliques I guess, having jumped out a second floor hotel window in El Paso, is limping with his jumbo attache case full of cash down a dark street trying to get away from Anton Chigur, when an kind older man in a pickup truck gives him a ride. Moss gets in and is just settling in his seat when one of Chigurâs shotgun slugs blasts through the truck back window and takes off half the old manâs head, the truck stalls off to one side, and poor wounded Moss is back on the street. There is no fucking way Chigur could have been close enough to that truck to have so accurately placed that shot. 2. Fargo. Gaear Grimsrud (Buscemiâs character Carl Showalterâs chain smoking crime partner played by Peter Stormare) stone cold murdered the state trooper, the young innocent bypassing couple, Jerry Lundegaardâs wife, and Showalter, in a wood chipper, no less. Itâs very Coenesque but still a moral plot hole for him to end up a ward of the state rather that shot between the eyes by Sheriff Margie (sheâs such a great lady).

I was WAY too young when I watched that movie.
Bama Llama replied to Parliament's topic in Movies and TV
The Monster That Challenged the World (1957) My demented 9-year old girl cousin presented me with what I perceived as a fantastic gift on my fifth birthday: she treated me to a free double feature air conditioned matinee, with free orange soda over crushed movie ice! The only catch (or so my naive young brain thought at the time) was that we had to walk and the theater was ten blocks away and it was the middle of August in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. My mother had thoughtfully replaced last yearâs rotten sneakers with snow white Keds still new in the box. I laced them up and off we went. I wouldnât allow two little kids to walk anywhere in Tuscaloosa today, much less ten blocks to the movies. Before we had gone four blocks, I was sweating and my new shoes were cutting into my ankles. By the time we got there the blisters were serious and killing my sockless feet. Why no socks? Five-year old. Glorious frigid air, a rarity in the fifties, welcomed us into the Druid Theater. We loaded up on orange drinks, in big wax cups with crushed ice, buttered popcorn, Goobers and Milk Duds. Then we entered the cool, dark sanctuary and settled into our seats. That was when I discovered this wasnât a feel good film about cowboys or pirates or Disney characters. Ohhh, but no, it was a post-bomb, atomic nightmare, scare the shit out of your cousin who yesterday was four fucking years old, giant centipede monster HORROR MOVIE! I watched at most 10% of that shit peeking through my fingers until st last it was over but not before I saw the monster pick a lab assistant up with his giant pincers, hold him ten feet up gyrating snd screaming in the air and pop his skull like a big pink grape and not before I saw the aftermath of the monsterâs rampage through the lab, where all the innocent fuzzy rabbits and guinea pigs were slaughtered, guts threaded over broken beakers and busted microscopes, with monster glop and goo jizzed all over everything. I asked if we could wrap it up and head back home but my cousin scolded, âNooooo! Thst was only the first movie! I paid for a double feature and youâre going to watch. Every. Minute of both movies!â I soon sensed something I wouldnât know the name of for many years - sadism. Feature two was âThe Vampire.â Only it wasnât a Bela Lugosi Stoker vampire. It was a freindly neighborhood family doctor whose office looked exactly like the repurposed suburban home MY doctor practiced in and I had to visit from time to time. THIS doctor was bitten by a bat and before long his patients were being sucked dry and their drained husks chucked into the basement furnace. I donât remember walking home. I only knoe I slept in my parentsâ bedroom that night snd several nights thereafter. My father had a âtalkâ with his older sister, my cousinâs mother. Seems neither oc my parents had any idea where my cousin was taking me that day. i never trusted that bitch again. Years later she had to spend the afternoon of her wedding day mopping up the blood and guts of her motherâs pet spider monkey, which her and her husbandâs white German shepherds had opened a door in her motherâs home to get. Served her right. -
