  1. I hear you, brother. Someone needs to count the playings of Boomer Sooner vs Texas Fight at the RRR. Texas Fight at least has some variation to the melody and the snazzy trombone riffs. One of you original burnt orange eyes surly shaggy deacons should start a new thread, Away Games Shit We Hate, such as the egomaniacal PA guy at Ole Miss: “And that’s another FIRST down, Ohhhoooollllll MISS!” He gets his cookies a lot with the Lane Train offense. Obnoxious as shit. Been going on for two decades at least. The comely UM ladies decorating Vaught-Hemingway and The Grove somewhat make up for it. Somewhat. Heads may explode all around on Oct 26 when OU comes to Oxford.
  2. Catchy? Maybe, but not so much the 10,000th time. If you enjoy it, watch the Vols - any sport, any venue. You’ll hear it five times each hour even if they don’t score.
  3. Just wait for the extra annoying, aggyesque “Whoooo!” after “🎵 gooo - oood ollle Rocky Top 🎵” every fucking time, with all the monkey shit hazard orange clones singing along like a crazed mob of UK scoccer hooligans. It’ll be enough to force you to projectile vomick like the Monty Python wafer thin mint sketch, preferably on several of them.
  4. Lots of Bama fans attend that game via various river routes by traveling down the Warrior, up the Tombigbee then up the Tennessee to Knoxville. Neyland is actually not bad for opposing fans. You’ll sit in the upper deck above the Tennessee River. If you get seated early, you can see the Vol band coming over the crown of a hill above the other end of the stadium. The flyover was cool the time I went. A fucking WW2 B-17 and B-29 circled the stadium spewing orange and blue (?) smoke. The players running out through the T was nice. Their fan base is a little more obnoxious than they used to be with that lardass ex-OU quarterback as a corch. And that godawful Rocky Top. It never stops, win, lose, TD, no TD, good plays, bad plays, it is INCESSANT. East Tennessee in mid-October is a beautiful place. Rent a cabin in the Smokies, sit back on the deck, listen to coyotes yapping, have a few sips of amber liquid and a victory cigar and enjoy. Been to a couple of games there and enjoyed one of them. Enjoyed the trip both times. On the way up, my eight year old daughter and her girl cousin held up homemade posters to passing Vol cars and received plenty of one finger salutes: ROCKY FLOP TENESSEE FALTZ SMOKEY SUCKS EGGS
  5. Is ThuJone even still alive? If so, someone hook him up to an I/V of something real good and ask him to crank the MS paint back up. His bizarro Chizik is still one the best things I’ve ever seen. Pimp Horn Daddy at the Rose Bowl and any aggy furk overalls boy are right up there too.
  6. This is Joe NOW. If the mental disintegration continues at this pace, where will he/we be in three or four more years. Jesus, Mary and (sigh) Joseph. I’ve never voted Republican in a presidential election and I’ve been voting since 1972. I’ll vote for a mangy yellow dog before I’ll vote for the best Republican, much less Donasseipe Trump, the Arch Enemy of Enlightenment.
  7. Any hookers/athletic staff babe “escorts” on board, living or deceased? Either esy, this is standard off season adventures for UGA football. Meanwhile, on South Beach, Nick is checking his brokerage account statement between golf games. I look forward to hearing him go off when he starts ranting on Gameday.
  8. Fowler/Herbstreit They’re okay but Fowler yells too much when he gets amped up. They’re like watching with your drunk buddies in the basement TV room of a freshman dorm. And ABC/ESPN misses several plays each game interrupting live action with graphics and game summaries. I don’t know if any other network does any better. I thought Klatt and whoever else did the Bama/Texas in Austin were very good.
  9. And just think - Gary Danielson will not be on ANY SEC games, zero zilch nada!
  10. SMU had 6600 students in 1970. Miami (FL) was 14000 in 1962. Football teams from both schools won games. In 1970-71 Rice was SWC conference champ in every sport not involving inflated pigskin. Blue and gray soaring down from the sky! Death from above, if you’re a field mouse.

    Well put. Shame we never found out. Colt believed he could escape, dodge or slide around our linebackers but he didn’t make it. Turning point, leading to what you outlined above. Hell, all might have ended differently if Mack or whoever called the play had just let the first half run out without that ill fated shovel pass. We’ll never know but I know what Horns World will always believe. Shit man, enjoy riding the wave you’re on now and tip your hat to Sark and to Nick for giving him a job. I wasn’t sure if Texas would ever be . . . back.
  12. Ahh, the Surly provincial stereotyping arrogance is thick and slimy tonight. You, sir, have stated a conclusion based on an incorrect presumption. No, in fact I attended the institute on South Main in Houston, Texas, where they taught me how to count to all sorts of big numbers and ehere, in 1970, LBJ and I and about 60,000 Texas Exes and 13,000 Rice faithful witnessed Rice run the opening kickoff back for a touchdown against Steve Wooster and the once mighty Longhorns, the post-1955 high water mark of Owls football until we finally won one in the MLB strike year (91?). Final score was something like 42-14. Wooster must have gained 250 yards that night. You teasip motherfuckers won big but had to come from behind against a school with 3,400 students. My Rice roommate is a history prof emeritus in Austin now.
  13. The long-established thread I gave up looking for because it’s 24 topics down the page? Okay, then you’re right. You guys’ll be drawing and quartering Sark in a brand new thread if Texas doesn’t beat Michigan by 20. I, for one, hope you win by 30 and empty the Big House out before the end of quarter 3.
  14. 1. Steve Sarkisian, Texas So, what if we’re probably over-rating Texas in everything now that they’re back? Sarkisian’s a coach with significant life experience who has always been interesting in conversation. He’s been to the top, the bottom and climbed all the way back (if not higher) than where he was as the USC head coach. Sarkisian has an energy and mind that’s building Texas’ roster on the recruiting trail and scheming Xs and Os. Of all 16 of the SEC coaches, he’d be the most intriguing dinner-party guest. Using all those criteria, Sarkisian is No. 1. Tune in next week to see how poorly this prediction goes. https://www.al.com/sec/2024/07/sec-coaches-ranked-based-on-how-interesting-theyll-be-at-media-days.html Some interesting takes but off-season clickbait just the same. DeBoer #13 Pittman #2 Etc., Etc.

    Your belief is misplaced. Alabama, Texas and OU do not have vet schools. I don’t know about the others other than Alldumb, LSU and aggy. Not likely Ole Miss has a vet school. I went to Miss State back in the days before electricity and all the pre-vet undergrads there were absolute aces. I ain’t no vet but highly respect them.

    I feel the same way about Auburn. It is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, where nothing is heard when they lose but the laughter of the damned. Pretty good vet school, though.

    Bama plays OU at Norman, not Tuscaloosa. For the last millenium, that weekend was always a home game reserved for a lightweight opponent aka the annual cupcake. Not so this time. Kentucky will challenge Texas for about five minutes of the first quarter.

    Did you mean OU at Auburn? Bama’s at OU late in the season. I hope OU humiliates the tigers/whar eagles/ plainsmen. Assholes. They can never suffer enough.

    Granted. I watched every play of every Bama game that season. I watched a lot of Texas and Colt as well. Colt was a very special cfb player and he and Shipley were like Pat Haden and J.K. McKay and Lynn Swann. I would rather Colt had not been injured and hear all the bitching lo these many yesrs. Marcel Dareus, Rolando McClain, Erik Anders and the Bama defense put several dual threat qbs out of games that year. Was Texas’s qb corch not aware of that? Made me wonder how much video Colt watched. That play happened right in front of me. My first thought when Colt walked off the field with a limp arm was, “Dumbass! Don’t you know better than to run a qb keeper on us?! Especially to Dareus’s side?” As far as McElroy being nothing but a game manager, I challenge you to watch the full game you tube of the 2009 SEC championship. He led not one but two 7:30 minute drives in the second half. Timmah Tebow never had a chance to pull of a miraculous comeback because his ass was crying on sideline with Urban watching the game tick away while our game manager nailed down the win, making Texas vs Bama happen. Football is a rough and dangerous sport played by fast, powerful men. Injuries happen, both game changing and career ending. We will never know what would have happened if Colt had zigged instead of zagged on that play. I believe it would have been a tight game. Pre-Colt injury, we appeared tight and Mack had a great plan, pooching kickoffs away from Arenas. Our offense took a while to get limbered up but Colt didn’t play defense. Ingram and Richardson had some good running lanes and made the most of it. Texas has superior personnel now and we’re sailing into the unknown with DeBoer. Good luck, Horns. I hope you deflower the Big House in a more debauched way than you did Bryant-Denny. Welcome to the “SEC.”

    Colt injury excuse drinking game is fucking hilarious. In fairness to Texas, consider this reasonably plausible alternate history scenario: Remember, it was only a three point game in the fourth quarter. If Squints instead of blind side sack fumbling had connected with Shipley a couple of times on that fateful drive, your ace kicker would likely have tied the game with enough time left for us to choke and lose in regulation or OT. Mack stays at Texas through the 2010s, sparing Horns Nation a decade of whining and misery. I concede, Colt’s shoulder injury was a watershed moment in football fortunes for Texas and Alabama. I also concede last September 9th may have been another. It certainly felt like one. Time wounds all heels. Roll Tide anyway. Our quarterback did play the whole game . . . with broken ribs.
  22. Eddie singing “Roxanne” in the jail cell in BHC1 was better than all of the sequels combined. Wait a minute. That was a different movie 48 Hours. Goddam not only am I old as fuck but now the Alzheimer’s is kicking in. Next thing you’ll be telling me is Nick Saban quit coaching football. I’ll stand by the statement that Eddie singing Roxanne beats BHC 1, 2 and this Axel thing.
  23. Reading this under your avatar is just perfect, a la Thelma and Louise driving off that bluff. ZOOOOOM! Your post sounds exactly like something HST would write today if he hadn’t blown his brains all over Owl Creek and had the ashes of what remained of hid brains shot out of a cannon.
  24. I’’ve voted in every presidential election beginning in 1972. I have yet to vote for a Republican and I’m not about to vote for the Enemy of Enlightenment, Mr. Trump. All this angst and whining is like Chicken Little flapping her wings about the sky falling. Outside of maybe drafting Katt Williams, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle to warm up the rallies, Joe should just keep on keeping on and not give a fuck what’s trending on social media. I mean, did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? (Hat tip to Senator Blutarsky)
  25. Naah - you’re stereotyping me, brother. Try this - call up Bama Auburn 1985 and compare ten minutes of Jackson and Broyles articulate comments with the same time me length of Fowler and Herbstreit yell-gasms from last year’s Rose Bowl. Other than low-def sound and image quality, practically zero taunting and showboating on the field, and half as much statistical diarrhea, the finished product is simply flat out better. It’s just an opinion and I respect yours, too.
