    Yeah, that opening of BOR is another volume blaster, same with Eminence Front. 

    Man, I am a HUGE fan of "Eminence Front", even though it's Kenny Jones on drums.  In fact, I (gasp) think the song is better for it.

    Catchier sure...  better...  nope

    I'm sticking with 'bama.  Lyrically, it's light years beyond "Freebird".  Add the riff and the fact that "Freebird" owes its fame as much to being a cultural touchstone as it is for the song itself, yeah, I can't go there.

    so did I understand Schiff's closing remarks to mean that he has not spoken to the whistleblower nor does he know their identity? did i hear that right? someone interrupted me during that segment so I only half listened

    Schiff was quite clear in his comments today that he does not know the identity of the whistleblower.

    Obviously, Shifty Schiff must be lying, because Benghazi!

    ACC, B1G, SEC & B12 had FF reps last season. 

    I looked it up -- 3 of the past 4 years the B12 has had a team in the Final Four.  Seems a bit inconsistent with the criticism.

    Dang, thought this thread was about a Randy Travis song... 😀

    Randy is thinking "damn, I should be stoned high and nekkid in the passenger seat and I wish Carrie were my dyke manager/ex-wife instead".

  6. Forgive my faltering memory, but hasn't the Big XII put a team in the Final Four most years recently?  I mean, if that's the standard, then let's at least point the criticism in the right direction.

    Saw 'em back in the day, they came in late on the southern rock thing, and went out with it just as quickly.

    My first backstage experience.  I was probably a HS senior or college freshman -- months before, my buddy and I had surreptitiously wormed our way into "press passes" to see regional hitmakers (LOL) Shooting Star, and we interviewed them for the school paper, of which I was editor.  We ended up striking up a friendship with the band and down the road they invited us to see them open for Molly Hatchett in St. Louis.

    It was eye-opening.  Much whiskey, many women.  "Almost Famous" writ large.

    Arguably Molley Hatchet's best song as a cover....

    It's an absolutely brilliant cover.  The recording quality alone is stellar.  That rhythm guitar . . . those drums . . . fuck me, just state of the art all around.

    Are they a great band? 

    But seriously... Let It Be is perfection although my favorite is While My Guitar Gently Weeps. 

    I would probably go with "Let It Be", but "Yesterday" and "Something" are way up there.

    They are actually not allowed to participate in any post season play due to this being their second year in D-1. That says all you need to know about the quality of the WAC.

    Oh, that got by me.  Anyway, they LOOKED roughly as good as plenty of small-conference teams we've seen in the tournament.
