    As a teen, discounting novelty records like CW McCall's Convoy, I think this:

    I says, "Pigpen, this here's the Rubber Duck.

    We just ain't a gonna pay no toll."

    So we crashed the gate, doin' 98,

    I says, "Let them truckers roll!  10-4."

  2. Has a team ever been this awful, yet still ranked in the top-8 post-Thanksgiving?  

    I've never seen anything like it.  

    All they've gotta do is beat the team that had to survive an onsides kick vs the mighty Hilltoppers last week, and I'm not sure they can do it.  

    And just as I'm typing that, Mateer damn near throws another one...

    I have heard anybody lose possession of the ball without it leaving their hands. He caught it. He had possession clearly.

    Then it bounced around a bit in his hands but that's not a fumble. Unless he actually dropped it and it hit the ground a TD is the right call here.

    To score, you have to

    1 Have the ball

    2 In the end zone

    There's some exception for goal-line-extended +/- touching the pylon, but those rules are irrelevant here.  

    He was juggling the ball.  By the time he regained control, he was already out of bounds.  That's a fumble, not a TD.  
     

    And I'm rooting for them, but it's a terrible call. 

  4. ESPN trying to be careful with its camera angles so as not to make it overly obvious to the TV audience that KU's own fans didn't bother to show up.  

    Of course, I'm only watching because I'm one of those who is clinging to the teeny bit of hope that enough teams in front of us will lose this weekend that the door to the playoffs doesn't slam shut before we even take the field today.  

    Also, my limited interaction with Utah fans is that they wildly overestimate their (low) place in the college football hierarchy.  So fuck them.

    Don’t put those slimy elixirs on it though 😊

    About 20 years ago, on a summertime family vacation, my niece (young guitarist and songwriter) asked me what I thought about Elixirs.  "I think they sound pretty mediocre for a very long time.  If I were recording my masterpiece, I'd definitely use something else."  She said nothing.

    I later learned that weeks before she had emptied all her savings to record her first record.  

    Me and my f*cking mouth, man...

    Man, this sucks.  I saw him open for John Prine at the Paramount a long while back.  Man that was a great show.

    My wife and I were at that show.  We were trying to remember what year it was. 

    It was a magnificent show.  Just brilliant.  Snider's between-song banter was funnier than most stand-up comedians, and the songs were brilliant.  Many of those songs are among his all-time classics now, but at the time, I think a lot of them were fairly fresh.

  7. Admittedly, that's pretty cringey.  

    But a lot less cringey than the previous decade of spandex, hairspray, and eye liner.  If that's 1990, you gotta at least give them props for not looking like Warrant.

     whatever tiebreaker is used has to be applied with all tied teams to narrow the tie and start again at the top.

    That's a bad rule.  

    If team A goes 2-0 vs B and C, and B and C did't play each other.... it wouldn't actually matter because the very best either of them could be is 1-1.

     plus 78744588 lbs Vox AC30.

    I bought one of those 1-speaker AC30, and it only weighed 78744585 lbs. 

    Wasn't a very good trade-off, obviously (which is probably why they only made them briefly).
