  1. You're kinda' like me: sometimes wrong, but never in doubt.
  2. Klatt and Neuheisel are the two best analysts in CFB today. Gus Johnson was a breath of fresh air when he first burst onto the play-by-play scene, but he took himself and his overthetop style too seriously and now he's just another annoying windbag calling every 3-yard handoff the greatest play he ever saw at ear-splitting volume levels. Neuheisel on Full Ride is knowledgeable and insightful, but that assclown Childers is absolutely unlistenable.
  3. With proper image guidance and effective suppression of his idiot family, the Heisman was his. A tremendous PR opportunity: Scrappy little underdog carrying perennial doormat Vanderbilt to their best year, maybe ever. With a little press conference/public speaking coaching on when to talk and when to shut up (think Costner in Bull Durham: "Know your cliches."), he would have had it made. I'm guessing that his handlers were the same folks that ran Clayton Williams' gubernatorial campaign in 1990. Like Claytie, this little fucker's mistake was letting us get to know him a little bit. Turns out, he got just what he deserved. I guess sometimes things work out the way they ought to, after all.
  4. Well, except for too many complete sentences. Plus, the subjects and verbs agreed a little too often.
  5. I could use another one; this one's damn near worn out. Uh, do they come in sizes? (asking for a friend)
  6. Res ipsa loquitur
  7. He's standing behind the podium so you can't tell that he's on his tiptoes.
  8. Simple arithmetic: $4,740,922 ÷ 277,156 = $17.10 per drink...can...whatever. The jokes really do write themselves.
  9. More entitlement and arrogance than independence, I think, but definitely agree with the FAFO.
  10. Del Shannon would agree. (Well, if he was still alive.)
  11. Speculation, or well grounded?
  12. U.S. Customs rules and regulations require that imported goods from China be conspicuously and legibly marked with their country of origin. Wonder if all Dicker's field goals and extra points have to be stamped "Made in China?" (Let's not tell Trump; he'd probably tack a 1/2-point tariff on 'em.) Way to go, great Longhorn. Wish we'd had you last year.
  13. Amen, brother. That cocksucker fails spectacularly on two different levels--first, he's got the most irritating voice in radio and, second, what he says pisses me off more than his voice does. Much as I enjoy listening to Neuheisel, I can't and won't listen to the show because of Childers.
  14. I never really thought we'd get in the CFP--not deep-down. But a small part of me still hoped that with the eyeballs we'd bring to a game, our TV overlords would somehow find a plausible way to squeeze us in. What I didn't see was the big picture: The bowl selection structure was out there all along and they knew that a Texas-Michigan game will draw a shit-ton of eyeballs, in the CFP or out. This way, TV pretty much gets to have their cake and eat it too.
  15. How much time ya got?
  16. Yeah, but that's only after they've done the damage and you're left sitting at home with nothing but "wait'll next year."
  17. I've said it before: Make the CFP Committee deliberations and vote PUBLIC. Follow some version of the ACC replay process where everybody is privy to the conversations between the on-field refs and the replay officials. Do that for the Committee. At the very least, make the Committee voting process public. Force the Committee members to own their votes. ('Course, you might have to put those voting against ND, Georgia, and Alabama in witness protection . . .)
  18. I sure as hell hope so.
  19. Riffing (borrowing your term) off of your #4, and taking into consideration the ACC's experiment with allowing viewers to listen in on the on-field ref's conversations with the replay officials, how about televising the CFP Committee's deliberations? Let's let everybody hear the reasoning and the debate. I realize, of course that that can't happen for obvious reasons (not the least of which is the time said deliberations take), but wouldn't it be kind of nice to listen in, to see the sausage being made, as it were?
