    So a buddy recently went bow fishing and ended up killing a large beaver.  He was kind enough to share some of the meat, but I’m at a loss for what to do with it. Stew? Smoke it and do pulled pork style?

    throw it away and tell him it was delicious

    this is America. You do not have to eat a fucking beaver.

    My dad preferred it with buttermilk, but it was rarely available in our house, as he was the only one who would drink it.  He grew up on a farm outside Savoy, Texas.

    With whole milk, he called it "cornbread and sweet milk".  He especially liked it for breakfast with any cornbread left over from the last night's supper.  Probably not a lot different from corn cereals.

    All of this is an important reminder to me that I am not from Texas and do not live in Texas and should not act like my experience in the Deep South is the same as the experience of people who grew up in Texas.

    Everybody is thinking about this purely from a football-games-won, dollars-spent perspective. That is how the White Man sees the world.

    But in the ancient ways of the Auburn people, who were here in this land when lo the only way to get to Birmingham was the train from Opelika, a bus ticket bought at The Bottle, or the perils of driving on tiny roads all through Alex City, the coach and the team are but a small part of the whole, a single butterfly in a field of flowers.

    For what really matters is not 25 million dollars. It is the 25 billion tshirts that Tiger Rags will print in the coming year with stilted jokes and rhymes of Harsin's name.

    As someone who watched him at Arky, this is accurate and his offense hasn't changed one bit since then.  All he ever did was run out of a spread formation and to your point, everyone is doing that now.

    In a lot of ways, firing Malzahn made sense (in a whole lot more ways it didn't because now Auburn is embarrassing itself looking for a replacement). Malzahn had long since hit his ceiling, and was probably on the decline. Recruiting was going down, and his occasional rabbit out of a hat was not enough to compensate for 8-9 win seasons. 

    There's no doubt he was a terror on game day. He was creative and courageous with his willingness to take risks to win big games. But while beating Alabama more than everybody else is an accomplishment, he had room to breathe on that. Winning by less than a TD occasionally meant that nobody really cared if you lost by 40 the next year or the year before. But after a while, those beatdowns add up in the L column and you end up with a lot of 8 win seasons with losses to shitty teams.

    I find myself quite a bit removed from the people in this video.  I swear if I was forced to live in Alabama, it wouldn't be much more culturally alienating than living in Outer Mongolia.

    Alabama is a great place to live. Well, at least the area around Birmingham is a great place to live. I would not want to live in the Black Belt.

    I think Malzahn would be taken as a serious candidate at a lot of places. He was certainly a very hot name when he took over at Auburn although his reputation has taken a hit recently because of an apparent inability to adjust to defensive approaches.

    I agree with your larger point about it being a tough job because of the environment, though.

    He was one of the first to really push HUNH and use long-abandoned running concepts in the spread framework. It was brilliant, devastating, and very hard to defend. And then everybody else started doing it. And that ate up a lot of his real estate, because his system thrived on the Nick Marshalls of the world: run-first QBs who were "okay" accurate, and didn't really need to make reads. Well, now everybody recruits those guys, and Malzahn really cannot develop, or even utilize, traditional QBs. I mean, Auburn was mediocre with Jarrett Stidham, who's probably going to start in the NFL.

    Is Auburn really that good of a job?  I know they have facilities and a recruiting region and whatnot but it's been open multiple times and the best they've gotten are Chiz, Malzhan, and evidently Kevin Steele.  Those are awful and none of them would get a serious look at any other major program.

    No. The expectations are unrealistic, the recruiting is hard because there's so much regional and in-state competition, the fanbase is retarded, and they have a perpetual little brother syndrome that cripples their decision making abilities.

    Dining area/ table chairs at some point soon

    installing a fan in the middle at some point before the spring 

    some sort of cactus-type plants in those planter boxes and also waiting for them to rust and then seal

    stain the couch lumber

    installing a gutter on the house roofline

    are all on the to-do’s still

    That's going to be very nice.

    These are just normal plays

    I'm talking about turnovers really, they played turnover free ya like that better?

     

    They did turn the ball over but got it right back when Metchie fell out of an airplane and landed on the safety returning the INT. 

    But yes, I like that better.

    You're the third person that's mentioned the grilled cheese + mayo thing within the last month to me.  Sounds like I need to give it a shot.

    It is excellent. Huge improvement over butter, and the outside of the grilled cheese is puffy and brown like perfect freedom toast.

    A couple years back I got my son the ~2000 piece falcon.  I built the whole kit in n one long sitting on Christmas Day.  My back hurt after that.  
     

    it survived about a month.  

    My six year old built that too. He's a Lego fanatic. He's done the MF, the AT-AT, Slave One, the Star Destroyer, Kylo Ren's ship, and others. It's amazing. 

    I used to hate Lego. I hated that I always ended up putting the goddamn things together and then it was a toy the kid couldn't play with. My older son hates them too. But the 6 year old is like a surgeon.
