  1. When's the last time any of us saw knives in e-cheese?
  2. 98 Yugo hatchback is a little long, but it's still a damned good band name.
  3. But not so much mobility at QB. They went with passing last year. Is he going to replace Milroe
  4. If you don't feel a shit is worth giving, why are you giving a shit and exposing your opinion?
  5. If they can both keep a solid hold on their balls, we'll come out ahead.
  6. Reckless Kelly did the best cover version of one of my all-time favorite story-songs, Richard Thompson's 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. Although, be fair, it took three of them to play what Thompson played on his own.
  7. Not clear on this... So he both enumerated and tortured black hebrews?
  8. You left out "Josh Pate says Texas a&m has motive, means, and opportunity to return to Greatness."
  9. I thought it would be a bigger deal, at the time. Maybe it was bullshit, but it makes a certain amount of sense. That game was in many ways a typical Mack "just tryna be a Nice Guy" scenario of not getting the team fired up and ready to go... and putting up with the hotel shit - I think that was the year the hotel let phones ring in the players' rooms all night long, and then had no breakfast in the morning, wasn't it? That game, and the one when he played a sick and injured Colt and ignored Snead, who stood next to him the whole game and saw one snap after Aggy egregiously fouled Colt right at the end. I recall watching that and saying "Snead's gone. Dunno where he;s going, but he's gone." Not that Snead had a stellar career at Ole Miss, but I'll guarantee you if he'd been QB2 in that 'Bama game, we'da won it. Grrrrrrr... not the memories I needed on a Monday morning. Fuck aggy. And fuck Mack, too.
  10. I get it, probably as much if not more than most. My four years as an undergrad at Texas, we won 40 games, with 3 losses and a tie. And the MNC in '63. And we beat Joe Namath and the Bear. I've been less than super-enthusiastic about Sark, but he's growing on me. I wish he'd quit OC'ing, but the results so far are a lot better than what we've seen late and post-Mack, so I reckon I can stand with what he's got going on. Having Ewers growing up and acting like a man has not been a Bad Thing.
  11. Well... they were good enough to be one of the three best teams in the land. I don't see any reason to think the OL will be worse. As for WR/TE, yeah Worthy and AD were top, top guys, but it sounds from what little we've heard from spring practice that we've got some really good replacements for them, and for sure in terms of depth. As the man said, "Don't worry, son. Them alligators SECunts are more afraid of you than you are of them."
  12. Logging is inherently dangerous, fact. Cutting large chunks of wood loose from the only source of stability while standing next to them seems like a less than satisfactory way of life, even if it's only once a year.
  13. Likewise. Plus, it looks like as far as offense goes we may be even better, overall, in the WR/TE department, not any worse in the RB, and as good if not better in the OL. Off topic for QB1, but it seems that Sark is going to be holding PK's feet to the fire. I may be wrong, but the only regular season loss I think the blame goes on the D. The offense handed over a lead with 0U 75 yards away and barely a minute left and no timeouts... and they couldn't hold it.
  14. No roller coaster for me. At least, not with such steep drops. Ewers looked Good last season. REALLY good. Not the Best, but better than damned near any QB at any school, including ours. I don't know, nor do you, nor do any of us know, but it appears that his Head Coach thinks he's even better than last season, and also better than his teammates. I think we all agree on that, and so there is no controversy at this point. No surprise so far. And that's a Good Thing.
  15. Pick all the nits you like, no problem. Nobody's defending anything. My point is not what they DID, it's that they had a perfectly good design, with plans to follow... and they didn't do it. Call it stupidity, or whatever. I don't recall anything to the effect that they re-designed it, although that's certainly a possibility. Again, bottom line: Fuck aggy.
  16. What I recall, from the time of the accident, is that a Professor of Civil Engineering had designed the structure, prepared plans, produced a manual (insert MensaTom binder joke here) and had supervised the previous couple of years' construction. The design included using double-length logs in each layer (except the top, of course) which essentially tied the layers together to prevent exactly the slippage that happened. However, he had left aggy (for Colorado State, I think it was) and was not there for the Fatal Fire. I'm not sure about his successor in the task, but whether it was an active faculty member or not, the critical element - the longer logs that tied the layers together were apparently not used. The issue is not that the structure was a shitty design - I think it is a perfectly good design, in fact. The issue is that they did not follow the design, and that is - or seems to me to be - a classic case of negligence on the part of the school itself. Heads should have rolled: they didn't. Fuck aggy, and fuck the aggys that deflected the punishment.
  17. Scans nicely. Too long for a song title, but could be a great first line for a not-so-great novel.
  18. Register the handle "Meat Pimp" snd send him the password. This neeeds to happen.
  19. There is no "x" in aggy.
  20. Was that before, or after, the divorce? And probably need pics of kicked cop...
  21. Wasn't nothin' left but teeth, hair, and eyeballs.
  22. I not only understand it, and condone it, I celebrate this.
  23. Nothing is funnier to a 12-year-old mind than fart bubbles.
  24. I've been waiting for an Evans to show up on the Forty because some football coach had enough sense to find a power forward rebounder and let him make [ANYQUARTERBACK] a Heisman winner. Worked for Johnny Foosball.
