Back in the late 70's, when Jimmy Carter was president, his brother Billy had a beer named after him that he was promoting. it was bad, really bad. I remember one summer the Piggly Wiggly on El Camino Real in Clear Lake had it on sale for ~$6.50 a case, plus tax.

It won't collapse before they put an outhouse on top and set fire to it while they all circle around clasping arms swaying and singing "Go tell Aunt Nancy."

Are members of the coaching and support staff State of Texas employees? If so, do they fall under the same HR guidelines (protection) that other state employees fall under? The reason I ask is that it's damn near impossible to terminate any State of Texas employee, even "for cause." Once you have passed the probationary period there is very little recourse for termination. A job with the State of Texas is almost like for life if you want it. I don't know, but this may contribute to the chronic bloat and rot inside Belmont.

Wrong song, it was not "Thank Heaven for Little Girls."

Maurice Chevalier singing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls," to Hermione Gingold from the 1958 musical Gigi! Directed by Vincente Minnelli (Judy Garland's husband and Liza Minnelli's father). Also starring Louis Jourdan and Leslie Caron. Gigi! won nine Oscars at the 1958 Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costumes, Best Film Editing, Best Song, & Best Musical Score). At the time, only Gone with the Wind (10 Oscars in 1939) had won more. Ben Hur (11 Oscars) would eclipse that in 1959, but Gigi! is still one of the best movies of all time. If you want to score major points with your "significant other," watch this movie on a date night. It is Rated G.

So is Carl's JR ...

Texas Tech Ags use M4 propane cannon to send Grackles to Kyle Field. https://www.lubbockonline.com/article/20140110/NEWS/301109781 Ever parked a car under shade trees at H-E-B, Lowes, Academy, etc., parking to escape the Texas sun? And then returned to find the vehicle covered with bird shit? The shit-fest most likely came from Grackles.

When you put beans in chili, then it is really just spaghetti from Cincinnati.

The 247 site has crashed. Is it a coincidence that it goes down right after the Finkley announcement?

Halloween is fat ketch favorite holiday. We know this because he goes year round looking like his doppelgänger Uncle Fester from the Adam's Family. Good job fat ketch!!!

The rivalry between Texas and Arkansas may have cooled over the past thirty years since the hogs left the old Southwest conference. So my recommendations may be outdated and overblown, I don't know. However, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." So, I would strongly recommend not leaving a personal vehicle with any Texas identification (licenses plates, registration sticker, TxTag, etc.) anywhere in Fayetteville next Saturday unless your insurance is up-to-date and your deductible is low. Rent a vehicle with non-Texas plates and buy the extra insurance. Needless to say, when your vehicle is left unattended, any evidence of being associated with the Texas Longhorns should be removed. Additionally, I would not let anyone I cared about park and walk to Reynolds wearing Texas Longhorn gear or Burnt Orange colors. Take a taxi and get dropped-off at the gate. After the game is over you won't be able to get a taxi so pre-plan a pickup right at a stadium exit. Traffic will be bad, so don't expect your pickup to be prompt. I would not leave the stadium until all the crowd clears out. The area immediately around the stadium should be pretty much safe for anyone wearing Burnt Orange Saturday night. But walking any distance from Reynolds to your vehicle (parking) will make Columbus look like Vacation Bible School. Especially if the locals have the "scat" juice ready to be tossed on Texas fans walking from the stadium after a Longhorn victory. Be safe and good luck going to the game in Fayetteville. I suspect you are going to need it.

John Turturro as Jesus Quintana in The Big Lebowski (1998) Jesus Quintana: You ready to be f***ed man? I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna f*** you up. The Dude: Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Jesus Quintana: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy sh*t with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the f***ing trigger 'til it goes "click." The Dude: Jesus. Jesus Quintana: You said it man. Nobody f***s with the Jesus. Walter Sobchak: Eight year-olds, Dude.

Statistics from a major national sporting goods chain ... 2019 Greater Houston locations - Sales rankings of sports labeled (logo) Apparel and Novelty Advertising: #1 Houston Astros label on blue, orange & white #2 Dallas Cowboys label on blue & silver #3 Houston Rockets label on red & white #4 Texas A&M "Aggie's" label on maroon & white #5 Houston Texans label on red, white & blue #6 Texas "Longhorns" label on burnt orange & white #7 Texas Rangers label on red, white & blue #8 Louisiana State "Tigers" label on purple & gold (yellow) #9 Texas Tech "Red Raiders" label on red, black & white #10 San Antonio "Spurs" label on black, silver & white #11 Oklahoma State "Cowboys" label on orange, black & white #12 Oklahoma "Sooners" label on crimson & cream #13 Rice "Owls" label on blue & gray #14 Houston "Cougars" label on red & white #15 Dallas Mavericks label on blue, green & white I know this just represents people buying sports apparel and novelty advertising with team logos and colors in 2019; but I think it is indicative of the competition U of H has for the TV eyeballs in the Greater Houston area. There are THIRTEEN other teams (seven that play on Saturday) with more fans (TV eyeballs) in the Greater Houston area than the hometown Houston Cougars. There is a reason U of H cannot average more than 26K to home football games from a greater metropolitan area of almost 7 million people that are physically located within fifty miles of Texas Dow Employees Credit Union Stadium on Cullen Drive. Yes that really is the name of their football stadium. If you want to add TV eyeballs from the Houston area you are better off adding Rice than U of H, and Rice comes with a bunch less problems than U of H would bring to any conference. Unfortunately for U of H, these are just the hard facts.

"Good. ’Cause we’re adding a little something to this month’s sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize’s a set of steak knives. Third prize is you’re fired." - Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross

George Kennedy, won the 1967 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role as "Dragline" in Cool Hand Luke. Kennedy beat out: John Cassavetes – The Dirty Dozen (George Kennedy was also in The Dirty Dozen) Gene Hackman – Bonnie and Clyde Cecil Kellaway – Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner George Kennedy – Cool Hand Luke Michael J. Pollard – Bonnie and Clyde Dragline: Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'. Luke: Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand. Interestingly enough, Paul Newman was nominated for Best Actor in Cool Hand Luke but did not win; one of seven times Newman was nominated for Best Actor but did not win the Oscar; until 1987 The Color of Money, for his reprisal of "Fast" Eddie Felson from The Hustler opposite Jackie Gleason as "Minnesota Fats".

Would a seven team Big XII even qualify as a conference??? I thought one more Big XII school leaving and the conference is dissolved?

E. Gordon Gee, University of West Virginia President, has stated he is no longer in favor of a 12 team playoff format. I would suspect his vote flip-flop is an effort to leverage his seat on the College Football Playoff Board of Directors for a spot in the ACC for West Virginia. That would put the proverbial stake in the Walking Dead Big XII.
