    How is Tennessee going to be 12-1 if they lose to Georgia and do not play in the SEC title game?  Are they like aggy and counting the spring game as a win?

    Angela Landsbury was only 58 when she started Murder She Wrote?  WTF?  That's barely older than Elizabeth Hurley is right now.

    You know, a reboot of Murder She Wrote with Elizabeth Hurley would be something I might watch.  Especially if it was on Showtime or HBO Max and Elizabeth Hurley did a lot scenes with minimal or no wardrobe.

    I wish they did all classifications like 6A and wait until the playoff teams are set and then split. Splitting like they do now has caused some dumb districts.

    I wish they would stop with the d1 and d2 bullshit.  Just divide into 7 or 8 classifications.  Too many state titles being awarded with the current setup.  Or at least have the d1 and d2 champions play each other for the actual state title.

  4. I do not really keep up with high school sports that much now (just casual glances at the regular season rankings and then cursory interest in the playoffs), so pardon me for what I have no doubt is a very stupid question:  why (or how) are the schools in the classifications below 6A divided into division 1 and division 2 in the rankings prior to the playoffs?  If I recall correctly when the UIL started that d1 and d2 bullshit, the regular season was completed, the schools qualifying for the playoffs from each district were determined, and then they were slotted d1 or d2 according to school size.  How is this done nowadays?  Again, apologies for the dumbass question.

    My kids have both told me separately that when they were younger they thought the world used to be black and white. Kind of mind blowing if you really think about it. 

    I distinctly remembering asking my dad when I was a child if he remembered the first day that was in color.

    The good old days were Saturday nights with Ron Franklin and Mike Patrick.

    Night games with Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried, when the heat had finally broken and it was cool outside, from Austin or Baton Rouge or Auburn or some other SWC/Big XII/SEC location...I always thought that was just as much the sound of college football as hearing Keith Jackson's voice calling a game.

    Probably because he did so many Texas games in Omaha when the baseball team was making all of those runs in the CWS in the early 2000s, I associate Mike Patrick more with that than college football.  Still, I never had a problem with him on a football broadcast.

  7. Anyone know if Mr. Shank was in the greater Atlanta metro area this morning?

    Crash spills cases of Bud Light onto I-75 in Cartersville

    The wreck happened early Monday morning.

    CARTERSVILLE, Ga. — An early-morning wreck Monday in Cartersville caused quite the spill.

    According to the Cartersville Police Department, it happened on I-75 South just past Exit 288 for Main Street. Multiple vehicles were involved, including an overturned tractor trailer.

    A photo posted by the police department showed what appears to be a pickup truck and the tractor trailer, along with several cases of Bud Light strewn about.

    Several details about the crash were not known, including whether there had been any serious injuries involved. It was not clear whether the cases of beer spilled out of the tractor trailer, were being carried by the pickup truck or perhaps were thrown out of a third vehicle.

    The wreck closed all lanes for a period of time before the roadway was reopened. 11Alive has reached out to the Cartersville Police Department for additional information about the crash.

    Yeah, the yell leaders embarrassing the school is just another tradition, whoop!  Wasn't there a big kerfuffle about a yell leader saying Joe Pa was so old he was going to keel over and die on the sideline or something?  This was years before the Sandusky stuff came out.

    I believe that was in San Antonio before aggy met pedo state in the Alamo Bowl.  A check of the intertubes says they have met in two Alamo Bowls, 1999 and 2007.  I think it might have been before the 1999 game when this happened.

    Never forgive osborne for destroying the best conference in NCAA football at the time.  I think their fans are tolerable, even somewhat admirable, but their administration sucks and I hope they never win another game.  By chance if they do once make it to the B1G CG I hope they lose by 90 points.  Or last second TD.  

    That fat fucking retard Bret Bielema and the Wisconsin Badgers beat Nebraska 70-31 in the 2012 B1G title game.  So you almost got your wish 10 years ago.

    They need to just ditch the playoffs. Have a season long points race and just pay out top 20 or 30 spots.

     

    Also, the majors are way too close together. They need to move the PGA back to August or later. I understand they don't wanna compete with football, but fuck football.

    If I recall, they moved the PGA so there would be 1 major a month on the calendar starting in April with the Masters.  Well, if you ask the PGA Tour, the majors start in March with the Players Championship, but I personally have never bought that line of bs.  The US Open has their thing with Father's Day so they unofficially have June locked up.  Leaving the British Open in July gives them the spotlight as the final golf major of the year.  Plus when the PGA was in August there were a lot of courses in the south that the PGA wanted to visit but were reluctant to because of the hot weather.  Then you have the Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, and FedEx stuff to consider, so playing the PGA any later in the year is not really feasible.

    Yep..  The Steel Plant is making it good times up that way.    They are making steel for Tesla, BMW, among others and also high end appliance makers.    It's a good strategic move for Butter's for sure.  That Italian place is pretty good too.   Mel Gibson had dinner not too long ago.    Big deal for a hole in the wall place in a small town .

    Sinton and Aransas Pass also has a home cooking type buffet called Butter Churn.   Good stuff, but it makes your stomach turn if you eat too much!  

    The crowd at the Butter Churn will also make you think twice about another trip to the buffet.  Not exactly the picture of youth or health.  That being said, good food for a buffet.  I was at the Aransas Pass location last Friday for a work lunch and did not eat again until sometime late Saturday morning.  I kind of miss the original location in Aransas Pass that used to be a funeral home.

    So absurd.

    One could argue that having Georgia yet to visit aggy is just simply keeping in line with historical SEC play.

    For example, Georgia and LSU, both founding members of the SEC in 1932, have faced each other a grand total of...32 times.  And that includes 4 matchups in the SEC title game.  The two schools went from 1954 through 1977 without seeing each other in football and had several other decent lengths of time without playing.

    Florida and Tennessee, also two of the founding SEC members, have played each other only 51 times.  They went from 1956 to 1968 without playing and really only started playing each other when forced to once the SEC went to divisions in 1992.

    Alabama and Kentucky have only faced each other 41 times in football.  Hell, Alabama and Auburn did not play each other from 1908 to 1947.

    I am sure there were all sorts of reasons why the SEC schools did not play each other on a yearly basis prior to expansion in 1992, but the fact that aggy and misery have yet to either visit or host some conference members really should not be all that surprising considering the current conference makeup and scheduling model and the general scheduling history of the conference.

    Previous homeowner probably had to flee for being wanted, dead or alive. He's probably out there, somewhere, living on a prayer. But maybe can find forgiveness because love is a social disease, even though some claim he gave love a bad name.

    You're saying he's a runaway?

    I think the previous owners were named Tommy and Gina.  Tommy finally got his six string out of hock after the union got the strike at the docks ended.  With regular employment, some overtime, and Gina's tips from the diner, they treated themselves to a new garage floor.
