  1. So I usually take some time getting up to speed when regular season starts. I didn't watch any of the preseason. Where does Perry slot once he comes back? Please tell me Oleksiak is truly our 7th D-man and he's going to the bench if/when Johns or somebody else is healthy.

    Who said Demas wasn't solid? 

    Nobody to my knowledge. Just brought up as a possibility with Evans now looking like he might be LSU-bound. A Demas flip would turn their world upside down -- which is why I'm rooting for it.

    I wondering if LSU would flip Demas if it is true that Jarrett is flipping to Bama. 

    For @mdleast, can't decide which GIF I like best regarding the news that Demas might not be quite as solid as aggy likes to think.

     

    I call this one "Jimbo's last-ditch in-home visit with Demas":

    I call this one "That Moment Clem Realizes Demas Has Been Fong'd to LSU":

    The next two are a two-part set I call "Surly's Reaction to the News Demas has Flipped":

    That has been one of my points for quite a while. The modern era of college football began with the GIs returning from WWII on the GI Bill. Prior to 1922, there was no functional governance over the sport. Between 1922 and WWII, the conferences were sorting out rules and the game was beginning to become standardized.

    Claiming a "national championship" before the game was a national sport is a rather hollow claim, but I guess if you don't understand the history of college football and have a deep-seated insecurity, beating your chest over retroactive "national championships" from before the modern era is what you do.

    Then imagine a group that would claim 3, 2 of them being recent claims. 
     

    But most will forget that and in 10 years they’ll be referenced on CBS as 3 time national champion aggys. 

    Yeah, any hardware claimed pre-1950 (maybe later) is pretty much white noise.

    They're missing that fact that even LSU never beats Bama. This is what you fucking idiots signed up for.

    They also don't seem to account for LSU being THE school in a talent-rich state such as Louisiana. They're the team to beat on just about EVERY top-level in-state player. aggy isn't that school in Texas -- and never will be.

  6. Caught a little of the College Football 150 episode last night -- had no idea this was a series -- and they were talking about football's transition from "one platoon" to "two platoon" and what-not. It occurred to me the last (and only) time aggy won the MNC, it wasn't even really football that was being played.

    Just the rhythm of that song fucking jams for me. I love this album. Make Art Not Friends is badass too. But most of the rest album just fucking rocks. Its great. Very similar to the last show i saw him play although it was him jamming on his guitar playing all the songs from the last couple albums. Completely different from the previous shows I'd seen him with the large backing band.

    What an artist. Listening to the Joe Rogan podcast now.

    Make Art Not Friends is the other one I like most too.

  8. Season started tonight. Linda Cohn really likes the Stars in the following link. (She's not alone.) Go Stars!

    The puck drops on the 2019-20 NHL season on Wednesday night, including the St. Louis Blues raising their championship banner and the San Jose Sharks visiting the Vegas Golden Knights for a renewal of their budding rivalry.

    But we're looking way ahead, answering the big questions: Who will win the Stanley Cup? Who are the favorites for all the major awards? Here are our picks:

    Some years ago they had this exhibit at the ABIA south terminal. They had a P-51, a B-17, and I think the other big one was a B-29. Anyway, you could pay to go on a ride in one of the big bombers. I didn’t do it cos it was like $500 and I’m a cheap bastard, but I wanted to. Safety be damned, those things are awesome.

    Almost positive it's the same group I posted about in Dallas and that was involved in the crash. On the link I posted, there's a video shot by the DMN photog that was on the flight. I think that was the B-25 they were on, not the B-17 that went down. The society that owned this plane had renovated all of them and looks like the pilots were probably in their 40's or 50's. This one crashed because of something that happened on takeoff -- couldn't gain altitude and then crashed trying to return and land.

    New Sturgill out today. I think I really like it, but definitely a departure from his other albums. Much more rock and noise. Not country.

    Mecury in Retrograde may be in my top 3 Sturgill songs.

     

    Yeah, that is a jam.
