    This OU team and the Big XII in general remind me of playing roundball vs 1989 Loyola Marymount. If Saban hadn't taken his foot off the gas to limit OU's possessions, this could easily have been one of those last drive wins type games. And to think at 28-0 I was wondering if OU would ever make a game of it. There was too much groping and slapping allowed by the OU dbs and their OL's hands were busier than a ninth grader on a hot date. Shit, I'm just glad we'll never see that jackrabbit on meth again on a football field, or his sourpuss Aggy Papa's frowning face. Also, to be fair, #5 being dinged up made defending Murray somewhat easier for Bama. Clemson will be a very different story.

    What / where is that Fansville stadium?

    While the play by play guy was praising him Lawrence let the play clock run and Dabo hsd to burn a timeout. ND defense is pretty salty.

    Clemson band is annoying as shit, playing too long into the ND snap count.

    Lift off!

    My dear and beautiful but sardonically irreverent bride loves the "double time harch" scene in History of the World, swears she is seeing Gregory Hines's long schvantz flopping as the selected "candidates" march out. Mel Brooks has improved this old world, imho. Plus, banging Anne Bancroft.

    About time the taunting TD takeaway penalty was called. First time I've seen it done. I do recall George Teague pick-sixing Geno Toretta in the Sugar Bowl NC game years ago and high stepping the last 8 or 10 yards like a Rockette, but that was when celebration dances and all that shit was allowed. Didn't bother me then!

    Ditto. And I draw the line at boiling even movie pretend rabbits. Glenn Close is a fine actress but she didn't have the allure of prehomicidal Jessica Walter.

    Jessica Walter gives me the heebie jeebies to this day, even via the voice of an animated character on Archer. Roberta Flack's career took off on a nice arc when "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was featured prominently in that film, one of the moments not loaded with dread. That song grabs you by the heart and balls at the same time. Like that damn song. Like the old classic tune Misty, too. But crazy screaming bitches with butcher knives - nossir, don't like em.

    You guys may have already seen this but there's a very good Spanish documentary, "Sad Hill Unearthed," on Netflix about the restoration of the cemetery from the climactic scene in Good, Bad and Ugly. Some amazing shit - there were over 5,000 fake graves in the place. Almost impossible to click away from that film if one lights on it while channel surfing.

    Right here, boss. It was an unexpected treat because I was one of the thirty or so people who read the novel, which came out a few years ahead of the film. I never expected to see the story on film, thought it was pretty well done, and still timely since the USSR was still rattling sabers.

    God bless Mike Leach. He is to the press conference as Manny Sanguillen was to the at bat. He never gets cheated when he steps up to the plate. Unlike Manny, he seldom whiffs.

    Vandy qb Schumer is damn good. This team had Notre Dame on the ropes in South Bend (pre-Ian Book starting).

    ESPN jackass Jason Fitz hosted a playoff preview yesterday with Marcus Spears and Laura Rutledge. They generated some refreshingly candid comments, e.g., given that OU has a par to subpar defense but very dangerous offense, would Bama's best strategery (nod to W) be to go old school and pound the ball, not ask much of a Tua who's <100%, and shorten the game to give Kyler Murray fewer possessions? Or, just fuck all that and score as often as possible?

    Watched this out of curiosity over the weekend. I appreciate what the filmmakers were shooting for, but it missed by a couple of million creepy elves and a few tons of bricks and a giant scrotum sack of toys. The big finale scene with Santa's entrance in the North Pole town square was like a Bizarroworld fire ant documentary or Nazi propaganda film. Those elves resembled the odd Pinocchio in Shrek. Being un-Disney is fine but these critters are fucking off-putting. I did watch it all, I confess. Nightmarish, alas.

    My father gave me a Benjamin pump bb/pellet gun for Christmas when I was about Ralphie's age. It was freezing out but I just had to shoot the gun immediately. Without going outside, I opened the back door and spied a little Towhee bird scratching around under a bush at least fifty feet away. Pumped the gun three times, aimed from the hip and POW! killed that poor fucker with the first bb shot from the gun, never believing I would even come close. Christmas, dumb kids and bb guns - a dangerous combination. Never told my mother, who adored her little yardbirds. The guilt! The horror. Still makes me feel bad every time I hear "Jorreee, jorreee!"

    Thank you, Bullneck. That took me back to the moment in a most painful way, but there it was. Great game but too little too late from Bama. I kept thinking "We'll get Texas next time around," but it took several more tries. Even with hdtv replay it wouldn't have been overturned. 21-17 forever. The Horns deserved to win it. Hope I live long enough to see the home and home in a couple of years. Those should be some good games. Good luck vs. UGA. I think UT will push them around.

    And he thought coaching football was tough. A lecture hall full of spoiled, sneering millenials and MacBooks will be tough. He hasn't exactly dazzled from behind the podium this year. Whose idea was this shit, anyway?

    I can't hear that tune without flashing back to, "Yogi is smarter than the average bear, Yogi is always in the Ranger's hair, etc." Kind of chills the martial grandiosity. Disclaimer - to those under fifty who don't know who the fuck Yogi is or how the Aggie War Hymn to pomposity is related, never mind.

    He has nothing like the explosive burst that Ricky did in his prime but Derrick Henry is anything but slow. Big Ricky fan here - the college game needs more of his Rickyness, a kind and gentle man who will run over, around or through your ass.

    Last of the Mohicans (1992 version). Wes Studi and Daniel Day-Lewis, the whole cast, really. Steve Waddington as the British officer shot by Day-Lewis before being burned alive played an asshole you felt respect for in the end. Actors portraying the British and French commanding generals were superb.

    Yep, that was two years later. Namath on a bad knee vs Tommy Nobis, Ernie Koy, George Sauer and company. Horns had two 80-yard TDs. Horns were up 21-7 at the half. Joe ran a qb sneak on 4th goal from the 1 late in the 4th quarter, Bama trailing 21-17. The right side linesman with a great view signaled TD and the gotdammed motherfuckin summuvabitchin back judge came running in from the back of the end zone waving it off. Ball game. Namath came to the sideline telling Bryant he was over, that the whole football was in the end zone! Bryant told Joe he needed to get his whole ass in the end zone and remove all doubt. Point being, no one beat anyone's ass in that game, but the Horns got the win, I'll grant you that. I fucking hate games turning on a single bad call late. Joe signed with the Jets in the dressing room after that game for a $400,000 bonus, unheard of in those days.
