Auburn fires Gus Malzahn
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.

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 will watch. One can only watch the classic comedy "Grizzly Man" so many times.

Auburn fires Gus Malzahn
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.

Auburn fires Gus Malzahn
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.

Is there any reason to watch this other than to see an armored bear wreck shit?

SEC Championship: Alabama vs Florida
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.

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

Millennium Falcon of AWESOMNESS
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.

SEC Championship: Alabama vs Florida
"Bama played mistake free" except for lining up offsides to cancel a fumble at the goalline, failing to pick up a fumbled ball that was inexplicably surrounded by four Alabama players, interfering on a pass to negate an interception in the end zone, Surtain just losing a ball he was in position to intercept to give up a touchdown, holding behind a play to kill a drive into the red zone, letting the QB run up the middle fifteen times, and using a middle linebacker with a reconstructed knee to defend a RB/WR on THREE different big pass plays. Except for that, it was a mistake free game.

(a little political) Tom Cruise goes apeshit on movie crew over COVID
I want to revisit the bullshit story about Tom Cruise on the ski lift. Does anybody believe this story, even the person telling it? Does anybody think Tom Cruise just hangs out by himself on the ski slopes?

I didn't know that people who actually knew what they were talking about were allowed to post on the internet. You've made this really awkward.

We pulled all the pile insulation and sprayfoam insulated the attic. Now it's only about 5 degrees warmer or cooler than the living areas of the house. The house is way easier to keep consistently cool or warm and there are no hot or cold spots anymore. It was also pretty cheap. The downside is that if you have a roof problem, you won't know about it until it's pretty serious. I'm in Birmingham, Alabama.
