  1. Hell, I get pissed every time I even think about 60 Bluebonnet - 3-3 tie WTF?! 64 Orange Bowl - goal line gimpy Namath vs manbull Nobis 72 Cotton Bowl - Tx rb ran out of bounds left on called td 80 Cotton Bowl - can’t remember why but still pissed DKR 3 - PWB 0 It all evens up eventually - bad calls, bonehead plays, weird shit, breaks. Bottom line, Bama trails all time by what, four games?! See you in Tuscaloosa, us with an untested qb and probably several new coaches and/or coordinators, BoB being our handicap if he’s still here. Bring the chaps girls, mmmm hmm! Hope the TV guys will set this one for a night kickoff. No injuries and no bad calls.
  2. Tyler Perry in Alex Cross (2012) I was just flipping channels and found this film. Perry did a fine job IMHO. IMDB gave it a meh score but so what? It’s worth the watch. You’ll never think of Madea the same way.
  3. The key to channeling George’s voice is emulating “wreeeeeaath” in He Stopped Loving Her Today. Find someone who can do that like ol Possum could. He must’ve had a uniquely shaped sinus network or something.
  4. Finally found it. Glasses will be raised to Mike Leach at Flora-Bama for many, many nights to come. From AL.com- Mike Leach once raved Flora-Bama ‘tough to beat’ for best party of his life By Howard Koplowitz | hkoplowitz@al.com Out of every corner of the country Mike Leach had been to in a life that spanned several college coaching stops, the late Mississippi State coach once said it was a beachside institution straddling Alabama and Florida that was “tough to beat” for the best party he had ever been to. “The place is called Flora-Bama … right on the border of Alabama and Florida, and you could go in there and there’d be like three different bands playing, one band slightly different from the next,” Leach said in a 2017 clip shared on social media after his death Monday at 61. “You could get one of those sawed-off boxes like they put the case of beer in, heaping with crawfish.. for like five bucks,” Leach continued in the clip as he raved about the Flora-Bama. “And then they had this triple-level deck out there overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in the middle of the night all the stars, of course the band playing, all the people hanging around all day,” he said. “Fantastic people watching, plus you had crawfish, plus you’re out there on the end of that deck and it’s just gorgeous. “That’d be tough to beat, on the right night, which I actually like weeknights better because [it’s] too slammed on the weekends, but I’d have to say a really good weeknight at Flora-Bama,” the coach said. Leach was known for his pass-happy Air Raid offenses, wide-ranging interests — he wrote a book about Native American leader Geronimo, had a passion for pirates, taught a class about insurgent warfare — andrambling, off-the-cuff news conferences -- including being asked about candy corn, hypothetical mascot fights and the best party he’s ever been to.
  5. Rock on, you Great Space Pirate Wizard Coach. We'll see you again. Tell God to zig out to the green grass. I know you'll throw him open.
  6. No matter how this turns out, Mike Leach will always be in my pantheon of coolest people. This is my favorite Leach quote. He was asked at a postgame WSU presser "What was the best party you ever attended?" All I have is the link but if it works, it's well worth the watch. Sail on Space Pirate, sail on, come what may. https://www.facebook.com/SWXRightNow/videos/10155601289895833/?t=43
  7. Cogburn, after the royally botched ambush in which LaBeouf got shot in front of the shack: "Well, that didn't pan out."
  8. If for no other reason than DKR's great ballsy championship call and the perfect execution thereof, this was definitely one those games you always remember. I was 18, a freshman at Rice but a football fanatic. I watched this game in the smoke filled, dank and dreary Will Rice "College" TV room with about fifty other guys. Bama was mediocre that year and has lost to Auburn 49-26 the previous week. I was starving for a good football game and this was it. A few people hooted when Tricky Dick made it into a photo op but looking back now I can't blame him. Helluva game and to win on the road like that and win late, made this a vintage well-earned natty for Coach Royal and the boys. James Street could spear a goddam marlin with the points of his sideburns. Bravo OP for helping us remember.
  9. Had we TCB vs either Tennessee or LSU, we would be in, deservedly or not. We did not and therefore we are not. That is fucking that. I hope the Dogs and Frogs end up in the final and if so I will be 100% behind HypnoToadZilla. Don't like Wolverines or Buckeyes. Nossir, I don't like 'em.
  10. Fallica always brought this guy to mind:
  11. Great themes above, no doubt, Peter Gunn so cool, but this old geezer is partial to the late 1950’s WB Westerns, in no particular order: Maverick Cheyenne the Rifleman Bronco Lane Sugarfoot Bat Masterson the Rebel
  12. Skylar always made me think of Monica Vitti, which made me feel kinda warm and fuzzy, which I liked. I was compelled to sympathize with Skylar and all of the predicaments Walt's bizarre schemes put her in.

    F cancer.

    That's the ticket. Never give up. Never give in. Fuck those cancer cells in their microscopic goat asses.
  14. And heads explode all over college football fandom a la 2011. <<OR>> We choke on Cadillac's Auburn voodoo and our heads explode . . . AGAIN. Shades of 1972/17-16, Cam in 2010, Kick Six, ad nauseum et infinitum.
  15. These guys make Doug Niedermeyer look like Mr. Vandreesen.
  16. Who is more Trumprepugnant Batshit Crazy, Kari Lake or Marjorie Taylor Greene? It’s like watching a monkey playing with a hand grenade. You know how it’s going to end but you just can’t stop looking. Except and alas, these assholes have thousands of supporters who actually vote for them. Jaysus, Mary and Joseph, how did it ever come to this?

    F cancer.

    Take Mike B to MD Anderson in Houston. The fine docs there create excellent treatment plans for specific issues and specific patients. Two close relatives of mine went in scared and pessimistic and came out cancer free. It wasn’t fun and it wasn’t quick but they were fucking cancer free.
  18. Well played and well won, LSU. Like Clark in the wildlife fun tent cabin with Ellen, they went for it and by God they got it. Our offense was too anemic too much of the time. Daniels made us look silly on defense. He’s a tough out. Bravo Horns for beating K-State. As for Bama, Citrus Bowl here we come.
  19. After my DVR got fried by lightningand I got a replacement, it took my cable provider several, ahhh, months, shall we say, to realize I was receiving literally all the HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and a handful of others for free, about 60 different channels in all. Anyhoo, I would scroll and cherry pick movies to archive, and Eye In the Sky was one. Very cool and well done. Features the smallest robotic flying aerial camera spy device you ever saw. Well worth the watch. The English speaking skinny pirate from the Maersk Alabama plays a good guy, of all things.
  20. Looking forward to watching this one. These teams destroyed UF and UK in games that were expected to be somewhat competitive. GA tight ends are very effective and Thurston B. Bennett the 5th always seems to know where they and that sneaky fast Bama killer #84 (McConkey?) are, hso he can check down to them when under pressure. I’m still in a daze after seeing Tenn “waltz” up and down the field at will on Bama and Tenn D is underrated. Guarantee you this - the Pillsbury Doughboy in red and black will be hopping up and down trying to get GA defense to switch out calls as Tenn O lines up in 15 seconds between plays. How GA defense handles Tenn a-go-go is a key. Get a few 3&outs and Tenn could get too far behind and UT defense to gassed to win. In the end, I’m for UT. I just derive a sick pleasure seeing painted up GA fans in spiked outfits with sad little faces.
  21. Alabama won't back in, slide in, or be "allowed" in the CFP unless they win out and if they win out they should be in. This issue could easily become moot Saturday night in Baton Rouge. LSU is rising and Bama has struggled on the road. If TCU wins out, they'll be in, and should be. Let the chips fall where they may, let's rock and roll.
  22. I was there too. I saw 60/40 Horns fans, a great site, a beautiful day, two well-coached teams playing hard. Even after Colt went down, Squints brought Texas back within 3 and Texas had big momentum. One more long pass to Shipley and you guys are in FG range and if the kick’s made, we go to O/T where anything goes. The sack-fumble changed all that. I didn’t see any Bama fans storming the field. If you’re saying we’re “no better” than Aubies that’s your prerogative. I respectfully disagree.
  23. Say what you will about ex-corch Harsin, he got those fuckers ready to play in last year's Iron Bowl. But for Bryce Young's heroics in the last minute of regulation and four fucking overtimes, Auburn wins that game, with a gimpy qb, no less, and the Unwashed Philistine Hottentots rush the field like maggots on a two-day old skwushed possum on U.S. 82. I still remember with not a little pleasure, how Harsin noticeably smirked when Bama failed to convert on 4th and 1 with about three minutes to go in regulation. That was his mistake - the football gods don't like smirking before 0:00. It is written.
