  1. Waiting for the “Hey Jimbo: EATME” sign. Viva Boone!
  2. Y-y-y-you’re so right! I stand corrected, sir.
  3. I miss Jamie Lee's cute little ass and the c-c-c-comedy of C-c-c-carl (Michael Palin), and John Cleese as the uptight barrister. We need more like AFCW.
  4. Google “Albert Means.” The sleazy way his recruitment was conducted led in a direct line to Bama probation and two-year bowl ban in early 2000s. It was fucking awful. I don’t think he ever played a down. Served us right. I’ve forgotten the name of the Memphis booster who was at the nexus of all that shit. He supposedly died falling down his own staircase, drunk or doped or both.
  5. Or, . . . Orrrrr, . . . 98% of college football viewers have Bama/Saban fatigue and were lusting for more of what happened in the playoff final 4th quarter vs UGA.
  6. Irony dept. - that slaughter was vs then recent Alabama ex coach Dennis Franchione, 77-0. In fairness to him, he was hired in the aftermath of the shameful Albert Means slave auction recruitung scandal and the UA athletic admin did not tell him the heavy sword of serious NCAA probation was falling imminently. In his brief tenure Fran cleared out Neyland, Tiger Stadium and Possum Hair stadiums a couple of times each by the start of the fourth quarter. A Alas, a match not made in football heaven. He was meeting with aggy during Iron Bowl practice that ladt year and flew off to aggyland without so much as a word to the team. Nossir, we didn’t like it.
  7. Exactamundo, sir, with all due respect to the normally razor- insightful Immamac. BAsed on Saturday, Texas is on the rise, as are Hogs and Vols. Bama? Jury is still out but as long as that angry little man is pacing the sidelines, I have hope.
  8. Thrre will be no Tide v Horns rematch this season, although I’d love to see one. If Bama plays with the same game plan, intensity and focus, we won’t win in Fayetteville or Knoxville or make the playoff. But what do I know? I only told everyone I knew last week we’d be lucky to leave DKR with a one-point win. Too bad I quit betting sports 20 years ago. Fuck it. Roll Tide and Hook Em.
  9. By the way, Gus, Klatt & Co. and generally the whole Fox game coverage was head and shoulders above what we have been subjected to with CBS over the years. Mrs. Llama mutes the TV rather than listen to Gary Danielson. And CBS far overdoes replay, causing the viewer to miss the start if the next play. CBS interrupts live action with garbage stats and graphics ad nauseum. I’m also fairly sick of yelling Fowler and jibbajabba Herbstreit. Knowledgeable fuckers but talk too got damn much. I think CBS is phasing out. Finally, for the record, I saw a safety, period. I was trying to estimate how far Burnip would free kick the ball and whether Nick would be better off having Reicherd just kick it off the tee and hope fir the best. Thank God that crew of eedjit refs won’t be in Tuscaloosa for next year’s game.
  10. Bama @ Arkansas and @ Tennessee and Georgia @ Kentucky could shake up some rankings in weeks to come. Bama not exactly road warriors last couple of years. Saban would say, “Get ready for ULM, you self absorbed assholes!”
  11. This. Rankings are pure fantasy this early in the season. Just BS for media to use promoting next week’s games. The only poll that means shit is the final playoff top four.
  12. Looks like my team wasn’t the only one overrated. Bravo, Herd! ND can’t suffer enough. ”The only sound in South Bend was the mirthless laughter of the damned.”
  13. Just telling the truth. I’ve been here since ‘09. Surly and its predecessors are the best forum out there. Your team is rising. Be glad. Hate me all you want. I respect Texas football and always have. I won’t be satisfied until we even up the series. P.S. Nobis stuffing Namath in the Orange Bowl is still the most devastating thing I’ve ever seen in sports. Onward and upward.
  14. Saludos Horns Game plan -Offense TEXAS > BAMA Game plan - Defense DITTO In game adjustments DITTO Control Line of Scrimmage DITTO Poise DITTO Attention to play clock DITTO Maintaing momentum DITTO DKR vibe 11 on a scale of 10 I’m surprised we won. Good luck Horns from here on out.
  15. Below block quote is from today’s RollBamaRoll column. It echoes somebody’s take from above. I agree. Look, I have seen every Bama-Texas game since 3-3 in the first Bluebonnet Bowl. This betting spread is Alice in Woderland bullshit, designed for a group circle jerk when Bama fails to cover or loses straight up. One last thing: watch for false starts and delays of game by my guys. If >5 in first half . . . “Irene, good night, good night Ireeene, good night.” Still and all, we’re 1-7-1 vs y’all and I want to get that evened up before I croak, and I’m not getting any younger. Here’s thevRBR stuff: This is what concerns me about facing Sark’s offense. I’m fairly confident the defense will affect Ewers all game; and that Bijan Robinson can be bottled up, but Alabama’s kryptonite has been backs and tight ends in space. Kirby couldn’t scheme against it; Baldy couldn’t; Tosh was busy eating crayons on the sidelines; Scruffy McPartypants can’t defend it either. Alabama practically kept Dan Mullen employed over the last decade with its inability to defends tight ends and backs in the passing game. I still have nightmares of Kyle Pitts, Josh Robinson, and Kadarius Toney loping in our secondary like the freest of gazelle on the African savanna. And, really, who can forget that charming two-game swing against Mizzou and A&M in 2020, where Alabama helped get two tight ends drafted. So, uh yeah. Let’s cover those guys, please?
  16. Winner winner ding ding. Rankings don't mean shit anyway, though. May the better team win and may no one get concussed or ACLd and please God, may this game not be decided by the fuckin refs.
  17. Check out CNN or any cable news. Some asshole is flying a single prop plane around Tupelo theatening to crash it into Walmart located on Main Street. Mississippi gettin curioser and curioser. Wheysh does thuh guv-nuh stayand awn theeus?!
  18. Shades of Lester Maddox on Dick Cavett in May of 1970. See following @ 5:45 for the best line in live (tape delay) TV history, IMHO.
  19. Extraordinary Attorney Woo (Korean audio with English subtitles). 2022 series. High functioning autistic girl raised by single father graduates summa cum laude from Seoul’s most prestigious law school. Excellent cast, production values and story lines. Give it a chance and you won’t regret it. Mrs. Llama and Little Llama were addicted after episode 1. I’ve seen three or four, all interesting and well worth the subtitle reading. Very interesting to see contrasts and similarities between our culture and theirs. Witnesses swear to to tell the whole truth and agree “to receive punishment” if they lie. Lead actress is a gem.
  20. From the hometown of Snake Stabler, who didn't give a shit about how anyone else did anything, I humbly accept your duly deserved admonishment with all due respect. I learn something worthwhile every day. FIGHT!
  21. I’m a college football fan. This is New Year’s Day for me. Anything and everything is possible. A man I never met before said it really well on a sultry night in 1991 in Baton Rouge. Tiger Stadium was packed out. LSU was hosting hated, despised, detested Auburn. In those days, an invocation was still part of the opening of a game. The multitude was quiet. Some bayou priest or other spoke of God watching over the athletes as they competed. As the prayer ended, I noticed that the dapper little old Cajun gent standing next to me (neat attire, salt and pepper hair, white Colonel Sanders mustache & imperial decorating his lip and chin) kept his head bowed. He said these words, which I could barely hear: ”Tank you, Lawd, fa lettin me live anudda yeah.” Then he raised his arms in jubilation, closed his eyes and yelled at the top of his lungs, “GOOOOOOOOOOOO, TIGAHS!” I just love that shit. Bring on the football, god dammit! Go Horns (except Sep 10) and Roll Tide! Bravo Surly for providing a forum like this. Oh yes and LSU upset the highly favored Philistine Plainsmen that night so hoodoo happens.
  22. Elvis in person (before too many fried pb and nanner sammiches and pills) was a powerful musical experience. This film captured it. “Col.” Parker Van Flugelhorn needed to be in it. It is worthwhile viewing for anyone who appreciates music, especially rock and roll. What a fuckin voice.
