  1. We just weren’t prepared at all for that environment and an Arkansas team that was actually good. They were 17 all with Rice going into the fourth quarter the week before, and despite all the warnings from the coaches, it was probably human nature to underestimate them (don’t eat the cheese). And the coaches probably underestimated the hatred the pig fans would have for us, even with their SEC background. Texas is a whole different level. They were better than us, more ready than us, and the energy in the building must have been at 💯. Card and the rest of the team were overwhelmed, and it took Thompson reverting to Herman-style QB Hero Ball to rally us to any semblance of an offense in the second half. It’s probably unfair to write off Card just due to Fayetteville, but in subsequent appearances, I didn’t see much reason for optimism. Situational awareness seemed off, which is just about everything for a QB. I expect Ewers to be just the opposite, a different arm angle, different trajectory, different speed on the ball… depending on the situation. And maybe he’ll actually know to scramble for the first down marker when he leaves the pocket. Card’s history as a good receiver never squared with his mediocre QB running ability, and that doesn’t make sense to me.
  2. And I was wrong, Bama actually came back and led 18-13, then Georgia scored three TDS in the last 8 minutes or so to win by 15.
  3. Last season’s championship game is on, and it’s Bama 9-6 late in the 3rd… and I’m wondering when it all changes, because my recollection is Georgia ended up putting it on them pretty good. The Tide is driving, 1st and 10 on the Georgia 29, and Billingsley misses a block, and Robinson is tackled for a yard loss. Two plays later, 3rd and 11, and Young scrambles under tremendous pressure, but somehow finds Agiye Hall streaking across the field at the 10… and Hall can’t catch the perfect throw. Georgia then blocks the FG, takes over and then drives 80 yards in four plays, take the lead and they never trailed again. Some mistakes, but they played a lot
  4. She randomly was on Sirius a few (shit, maybe several by now) years ago, hosting a weird call-in advice show, kinda sexual in nature, and she seemed really cool. She’s obviously been thru a lot, and unfortunately for her, it seems her troubled road has gotten even more so. Burn injuries have to be a form of hell on earth.
  5. It’s going to be fun, when after every snap and the play-by-play announcer finishes describing the action, hearing a gulp of liquid, a Gatorade bottle slam to the press box desktop and Herman harshly bellow out, “Questions?”
  6. I am 100% convinced the Friday media blackout was prompted by the Chip Brown Hall/Billingsley “insider information” piece, not the TV comparison between Card and Ewers delivery. I also suspect the support staff got a reminder that anyone found serving as Deep Throat (the Watergate kind) to a 9:95er is grounds for immediate shit listing and termination (if you’re not that important). I’m certain the rest of the media are pissed in the reduction in access, especially the TV guys since they need video every day. In the Burron/Nahlin/Wells video chat, they referenced the Brown article as being unnecessary at this point (the info would be more meaningful if they were underperforming during the season), and this was taped before the news of the media opportunity being shitcanned. I suspect few people are happy with everyones buddy, FCB.
  7. I thought it was a bit, how Mack’s shittiness at the end never stopped working (though he did).
  8. Ok, I’ll admit, this is something I never thought I’d read.
  9. “So, that was Junior Day, right? Ok boys, I think we’re done!”
  10. After CTJ’s annihilation above, there’s not much to add, but how does a player’s injury status affect his flippability? And we’re going for a Top 3 class, Top 15 would be a program momentum setback. At least bronco can take solace in the fact he’s the best worst most prolific drunk poster on the site, and that’s saying something.
  11. JC is complete badass with the rock, especially when it rains… a lot. And if he can convince Moses to sign with us as his lead blocker, the defenders just move aside.
  12. Does this mean God is getting some of his carries? (And what he could have said after the humble, God thing was, “And the guy who won it last year is back this year, and plays quarterback for Alabama, so odds aren’t as great as you’re making them out to be.”)
  13. Yes, being here in the spring. Not too far
  14. Overshown is country as fuck Arp, Texas, he don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks.
  15. Nothing against Ty Shelby, but he’s an undrafted rookie free agent signee from Louisiana Monroe and any free agent signee is a long shot to make an NFL roster. He could be cut at any time, so relying on his presence in LA is not the sturdiest of foundations. I suspect there are stronger reasons for USC’s appeal. Based on his reported upside and our need at the position, I hope there’s a welcome surprise for us this weekend. (My post was interrupted by a website update, so similar to Tommy’s thought above.) (And if you type “undrafted,” autocorrect goes to “undead,” which is technically correct.)
  16. Who’s the chill dude who asked Sark about his vacation?
  17. It is on LHN. I think he meant “ivory tower” instead of “Eiffel Tower,” but that’s ok.
  18. We need a new thread… the real thing is officially here.
  19. Damn, I would have lost money had you bet me whether the Vice Principals forum was here or on the old Shaggy. But VP aired in 2016/17 and SB went down in flames in spring 2018. Damn, time flies. We had all sorts of theories on who was the shooter and what not. Too bad that had to turn into a scat site. But to the OPs point, yes, it’s a great show, odd as hell, no boundaries, and also gave us the ridiculous Edi Patterson as the crazy teacher, who’s gone on to do great work on Gemstones as well.
  20. You’ve still got the photoshop and well, your stink palm.
  21. Thanks, brother, I actually could have figured it out but got jaythegreat mixed up with oso8jay. Dammit.
