  1. Gon' take a high brown woman, might take one or two mo'
  2. I still don't understand how a guy at FSU can watch DJU play at Clemson, then watch him at OreState, and think "Hell, yeah, here's a guy we can win with!"
  3. Beyond the drops, it sounds like there are other problems, which might be gathered unter the umbrella of lack of, or even counter, culturization. For some reason I have a feeling that he may have had a poor attitude toward being coached. Learning to not drop catchable balls, always running the called route, learning blocking techniques... lack of effort seems like possible problems. I dunno. Like many of you, I had high hopes for him. Too bad. Wish him well, just don't expect it.
  4. Yes, but it will include critiques of QB gurus failing to fix the footwork of an NFL QB. At least until a real EDGE rusher pancakes Quinn and breaks eleven ribs. NOTE: Assuming he gets signed by an NFL team. Action in non-exhibition game not necessary. Might include Canadian or European professional team.
  5. Well, fuck, we need to be accurate here, so let's start by admitting that the ball did not travel 45 yards through the air. It covered about 47 yards of ground, and assuming the flight is basically a parabola, with a chord of 47 and an axial height of half that, the flight path was more like 65 to 70 yards. Serious answer. Where were we?
  6. Reach over, Mama, and hand me my travelin' shoes...
  7. Senior Day New Tradition. Never change, aggy, never change. New Tradition: Senior Day is next-to-last game, always home, always FCS or other guaranteed W, to send those boys off to Real Life. Real Life Its Own Self.
  8. Suppose we go to Pods. Your schedule is 3-2-2-2, 9 games as most of us desire. The seasons alternate the 2-2-2 in other pods, and the home-and-home is every other year. Don't have to call it Pods, just a template for scheduling. I only looked at us, maybe the view for all 16 teams gets nasty, but what we see here looks pretty good. Home-and-home is just alternating. In the example, NORTH looks pretty anemic - I was just trying to set up geographically. Example: WEST: Texas, aggy, OU, LSU NORTH: Arky, Mizzou, Kentucky, USCe SOUTH: Ole Miss, MissSt, Bama, Auburn EAST: Fla, UGa, Tenn, Vandy Season 1 we play aggy, OU, LSU, arky, mizzou, Ole Miss, Auburn, Tenn, Fla Season 2 we play aggy, OU, LSU, Kentucky, USCe, Bama, MissSt, UGa, Vandy Every two years, you play every other conference member.
  9. This is correct and is the proper attitude. Rep that man.
  10. I probably haven't paid much attention, over the years, to knob-slobbing of play callers. Maybe it's that, or maybe it's just that now the Master is calling our plays, but it sometimes seems the kudos are over the top. On the other hand, it might be the years of GDGD using animal crackers, dartboards, or random license plate numbers (joking - he was calling whatever Mack told him to call, and giving Mack credit when it worked) followed by Potato head and MensaTom not calling diddle-e-squat. Whatever, when it works, it's Bee-fucking-yootyfull.
  11. Looking back at that Arkansas game, where Card had nothing going, and Casey came in and commenced to put points on the board... I thought we might actually have a QB who had at least some of "it". I'm still not sure whether he's a dumbass or just using the wrong drugs. A lot of Surly shows serious dislike for him, but to me he's simply pathetic. Damn.
  12. '64 loss in Austin was as big a heartbreaker as the '62 win was an explosion of joy. It was a typically tight, tight game. We basically dominated, but just couldn't score. Arky hit that 80-yard punt return before halftime, 3rd was scoreless. We tied it at 7 early in 4th, they took the lead back about halfway, and we went on the same sort of long drive as we had in '62, like around 15 plays, and scored with about a minute left. Darrell never went for a tie at end-game, but the offense was confused about what to do, whether to kick or go for two, so was just standing around like they were waiting for the kicker. The TD had been scored by our super stud running back, Ernie Koy - at 6'3" and 235, he was bigger than some of the linemen. With the play clock running down, Darrell sent the backup RB, Hix Green, running onto the field to call timeout. I think coaches didn't get to call t-o back then, or maybe it was too far for coach to run down the sideline. We huddled up on the sideline and called the play for the two-pointer and the win: a pass over the middle to Ernie. Back to the field, but the ref stopped play and said, nope, the backup had subbed in by running out onto the field. Koy had to come out, and Hix - not a big guy - had to stay in. The pass was short, and Hix couldn't get back to it. Final score, 14-13. I think that was also the year the fucking Arkies sold their band seats to boosters, and we allowed their band to stand on the sidelines on the west side near our bench. Annoying s hell. By the way, if you haven't endured two or three hours of super high-volume literal screeching "WOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo PIG! Sooey!", then you probably don't get the extent of the hate. It's not a joke. All that said, I expect us to win. I see it likely that we kick their ass... but I also won't be surprised if it turns into a brawl and a close one. How to characterize it? Here you go: if Vandy had this kind of hate for us, we would have lost that game by three touchdowns.
  13. I do grilled ham'n'cheese on separate slices - prefer sourdough, but eh - add a sunny side up egg on ham side, close, snarf. Big Opa cuppa. MMmmmmmmmm.
  14. Reckon 300 about right. I don't think that's an approved usage, but gotta admire the accuracy.
  15. No baloney, it's just sawdust and pink slime scooped off the floor at the meat packers' plants. Peanut butter and mayonnaise on wheat. NOTE: Hellman's only, none of that Mackrel Whip junk.
  16. Didn't hit you in the face, though, just doinked off the mask. You shoulda caught it.
  17. You won't have to catch it... it'll be stuck in your mask.
  18. Tell you what, we hit that first down around the ten, I thought we were gonna win it. One of the biggest last-second disappointments ever.
  19. Cheaper than nuking them from orbit.
  20. You've left out the lamination of their wimmens.
  21. 30 years and 40 pounds ago, that was a hot, hot young lady.
  22. True dat. Howsomever... it's never to early to ignore the possibility of having to replace Sark, whether illness, death, or a call from Jerrah. And if something actually does happen, who ya gonna call? Guy that does the AFLAC ads - the shorter one - probably not interested, but he might have an opinion...
  23. When Quinn is ON, We Gonna Win That's all we need to Know. Hook'em
  24. Thinking more like "Coach, if I can't get more PT, I'm gonna hafta get in the portal." "Well... bye."
  25. Yep. Had some right-in-the-hands drops coupled with "wtf, you don't have to knock the CB on his ass, but at least get in his way...".
