  1. Duly noted. I guess SI was quoting Coach. I learn something new every day!
  2. So the Nippy episode was set in 2010 because Martinez was a freshman, right? The Cinnabon loving guard said so, anyway. And B, didnā€™t Kim grow up in Omaha? Well, there you go. Iā€™m tellin ya, we ainā€™t seen the last of Kim. Oh pleez, pleez.
  3. <<{{[[xxX**Xxx]]}}>> A Blue Max of college football trivia to you, sir, for evoking a letter-perfect quote from Sports Illustratedā€™s vivid and most apt description of Darren McFaddenā€™s explosive and victorious freshman performance, in Tuscaloosa, no less, vs my beloved Crimson Tide. If Bijan plays half as well on September 10th, we are in big trouble.
  4. A year ago Bama had four actual road games. Results were underwhelming and caused significant angina. Snatching one from the Philistines was nice but given they had a crippled yeoman transfer at QB, not so impressive until you consider the deafening negative hoodoo of that accursed hive of iniquity and our must-have leggy of field TD drive to get to OT. The first ever Crimson Tide entry into DKR should be a real snot-knocker if we hold up our end. 2021 road record: @Swamp: W 31-29 @Aggy: L 38-41 @Leachville: W 49-9 @Aubie: W 24-22 (4OT)
  5. Point taken. Iā€™m old as dirt but I remember when it was rare for an untelevised game to last more than 2 1/2 hours from kickoff to end, even less if the opponent didnā€™t bring their band. My father and I could go hunting or fishing, drive 90 minutes in bumper traffic on a two-land to a 2:00 game in Birmingham, tailgate, walk to the stadium, watch the game and be back at home in time to listen to most of an LSU game on WWL before I got chased off to bed. Of course back then there were only a couple of TV games per Saturday, sometimes only one. I enjoy todayā€™s breakfast to midnight football on TV. But I gotta say, remembering those golden fall Saturdays makes this old man smile. Hook ā€˜em Horns and Roll Tide.
  6. Final was 20-7. Bo Jackson got 35 yards total. No sound was heard on the Plains but the mirthless laughter of the damned.
  7. Exactly. Innovate while still bringing us the actual plays, i.e.: Less replays of routine stuff and more local, ah, ā€œcolor;ā€ Less noisy CGI logo orgasms and such merde; and Never, never ever ever fucking NEVER make us miss a new play while you are showing a replay. Now bring it on.
  8. No petty. Since Nick Saban arrived, and continuing through a couple of 10,000 seat expansions, visitor seating at Bryant-Denny starts at Row 1 in the NE corner of the lower bowl, extending out to about the 20 yard line and all way up. Band, cheerleaders, fans, errbody. I wish the whole visiting team band could be seated but in recent years smaller ā€œroad gameā€ bands have been the norm. In the early 80s on the Plains in game 1 of that year the Horns had the Auburn ā€œgamblerā€ intimidated before the game ever started when the full UT band took about an hour just to march in, clanking the cowbells. Texas beat the crap out of them but I canā€™t remember the score. I loved it.
  9. First thing Spurrier did at UF was rip out the rug and put down real grass. Substantial success soon followed. Does any player prefer the best artificial turf to real grass? Iā€™ve never heard or read one say this. Whatā€™s the ā€œcarnival?ā€ Chaps babes are real assssets though!
  10. I for one very much enjoyed Kim walking away . . . down the courtroom corridor after she informed the judge she was all the way out, notified the bar, et veterans. By God, her ass was twitching. Hope she has a save the day cameo before Saul rings down the curtain.
  11. All prison sentences of death or life without possibility of parole should be read out in Gus Fringā€™s voice and cadence. Pure, dispassionate ice. His rant over Laloā€™s phone to old man ā€œDing-dingā€ Scalamanca is the only time Iā€™ve heard him raise his voice since the nursing home scene on Breaking Bad, and it was a ruse to distract Lalo. One cool, calculating madrepincher.
  12. ā€œWell King, this case is closed.ā€
  13. Watched Killing Them Softly this morning just for the hell of it. A couple of dumbass druggies rob a poker game run by Ray Liotta. Brad Pitt and James Gandolfini play hit men. Mametish dialogue makes it a stanger trip than one might expect. Filmed in grungy, blasted, post Katrina New Orleans but city name is anonymous. Director has recently resurfaced in new film "Blonde." I enjoyed the hell out of it.
  14. The Commitments, a damn sight better name than "And And Fookin And." The Commitmentettes can assault me any auld toyme. Great, great film. Cast, pacing, sound, story, all of it! And yes Imelda fookin' Quirke. "Ah'm sorrah mah Daddy puked in your trumpet." And then comes the look of awe from Colm Meany, awesome actor that he is. And here's a nice link, if you liked the dark haired Commitmentette -
  15. What can you make of this, Johnny? "Ohhhh! Let's see! A HAT, a BROOCH, a PTERODACTYL!"
  16. Hail Fargo! In with both feet since Jerry Lundegaard drove his car with that Olds with the factory undercoat on the trailer toward me over the hill in the snow as the orchestral sound track cranked up. Bring it on!
  17. You may be right but Bama has August two-a-days in the heat index capital that is Tuscaloosa. I agree 100% it should have been a night game. College football should never be played outdoors in the South before 7:00 p.m. until the third week of September.
  18. Sark has recently done time in Nick Sabanā€™s brain trust. Nick has recently seen Sarkā€™s reactions to down, distance and game situations. Does either of those factors mean shit? I ā€œgotā€ Bama for the same reason 99% of you got Texas. Because theyā€™re my team. These games are the best we can hope for if we care about the future of college football. Plus I want at least a dozen tight zoom shots of the chaps babesā€™ asses per quarter. Hook them!
  19. I have never approved of the British custom of using plural verbs with singular nouns. It has crept into frequent use in broadcasting American sports, as in "The Crimson Tide were looking forward to the Texas game until it was announced as an 11:00 CDT kickoff." No sir, I don't like it. Not a bit. As in . . . "The ohdience wuh loffing."
  20. I sense that Lalo will ultimately have a Snidely Whiplash moment with Kim, who will be saved from a fate worse than death by Mike, Jimmy or a combination thereof.
  21. FIFY - Also, for this to be anything but a night game is insane bullshit. Still, itā€™s Bama and Texas. Cool and not always expected things happen when we meet thee. Bring it on.
