  1. Definitely go there when you hate the visiting team. Stroll over to the North Stadium Drive side of the stadium about an hour before kickoff. Have some boudin, a good stiff drink and a nice stogie. Get a local to show you exactly where the band sets up for “Pregame” before they go into the stadium. You won’t regret it:
  2. From your lips to the committee’s ears. Hope you’re right but this bs is so subjective. Weirder, more unjust shit has happened.
  3. Here’s a nasty scenario to cause Surly hysteria: Michigan crushes Iowa. FSU wins the ACC. Bama beats Georgia in an ugly, sloppy game. Texas boatraces Okie State but the committee doesn’t care because they’re enamored with the BIG and Oregon/Washington. CFP: Michigan, Oregon/Washington winner, FSU, Ohio State The cruelest irony: Bama plays Texas in a NY6 game. Improbable? So was 4th and 31
  4. For decades this game had 50/50 seating at Legion Field and was more intense and special because of it (see, e.g., every Texas/OU game played at Cotton Bowl Stadium). I miss that but otherwise, it is always a nerve wracker. I like the TX/OU seating divided at the 50 yard line best. Bama/Auburn was always divided at the goal posts. College football never gets old. IMHO the tag “Iron Bowl” only applied to 50/50 games in Birmingham.
  5. The only sound heard on the Plains tonight is the mirthless laughter of the damned. Those fuckers can’t suffer enouugh. Playing with house money now. Good luck Horns in the CFP adventure. You’re in. It was meant to be, like 4th and 31 tonight.
  6. After wandering in the wilderness for thirteen years Coach: X QB: X QB of the future: X Path to #1: X Saludos, denizens of Surly.
  7. My brain turned inside out at the scene with skinny lead actress housewife pdycho mom knitting on the couch as masked guy walked up onto the deck . . . Homages left and right like golden Easter eggs. Great stuff. Music has big juice. First two episodes- big thumbs up ”Anyone takes my stuff does not get to live.” Can’t get JJL, as she was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, out of my head. Which makes me think of Phoebe Cates’ fine face, ass and tawny, perfect tits . . . Uhhh, . . . I gotta go!
  8. Best assholes on the internet- I contend: Horns keep winning Bama keeps winning Both make CFP - Herbstreit speechless Mama Llama making her mother’s scrumptious dressing. Nothing else needed but something good to drink and some football to nod off to. Saludos, my future SEC fellers. May old Scratch take the hindmost.
  9. Joe Don - got to be Elvis’s distant Mis’sippi cousin. Delivers lines with the exact same mumbly panache minus the lip curl.&
  10. Ridley had me at Blade Runner. In for Napoleon despite all reactions, lukewarm and otherwise. Melt down the enemy cannons and build a monument yourself. The emperor of ego, got to be interesting.
  11. Nice turnout at JMU. Too bad they weren’t scheduled as a cupcake for some P5 team today. Bravo the Dukes.
  12. Here’s an interesting one from 1968 for Taylor/Burton fans. Liz was in her early 40s and still so vicious and gorgeous and Burton appeared to be drunk in most scenes a la Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Noel Coward has a cool cameo as the Witch of Capri. Fine cinematography. It was and has been panned but IDGAF, I liked it. BOOM!
  13. Two things about the opening scene stay with me. The background music as the staff car and escort bikes slowly wind up the road in a pristine pastoral valley was “The Green Grass of Summer.” This was a theme featured in The Alamo (John Wayne), which shocked me as a young kid as my first images of death in battle, not Disneyfied Fess Parker, my boyhood idol. Next and most vividly, the camera zooming down through the floorboard gaps to reveal, as they came into focus, the eyes of those hidiyin the cellar. Give me a QT film any day.
  14. “Bama (hypothetically) beats Georgia” . . . add internet CFP ranking rant. Have you guys ever watched any fucking part of a Bama - Auburn game? There’s a possibility we handle Georgia but it means nothing unless we overcome the incessant noise and inevitable juju at Possum Hair stadium. Talk to me on Sunday after Thanksgiving. After 9/9/23 I’m just relieved we have a pulse, much less a chance. If we do beat Georgia after choking on the Plains, I hope it puts the Horns in the playoff.
  15. 80% through The Killer and it holds your attention. Fine locations and cinematography. What’s different- everything doesn’t just go according to plan. Scenes tied together with narration by the Killer his own self. An Iwatch of some kind and digital tech play significant roles. So far, so good. Fassbender has the chops for the role.
  16. Started The Killer starring Michael Fassbender, hypnotic narration of Paris setting by the lead, you’re expecting to see a flawless assassination but it goes kaput and he has to bug out to the safe house . . . only it’s not safe. So far so good; it holds one’s attention.
  17. This heifer looks like a drag version of the beefy Dumb and Dumber hit man after he ate the poison burger. I wish granny had frisbeed that broiler across the room into that meddling bitch’s face!
  18. Horns 42 - 28 KSU punting 222 Just imagine its September 9th in Tuscaloosa and Ewers got dinged out in the 1st Quarter but Malik was up and ready Horns have elite receivers and a quick huge mean D line. No contest.
  19. I got the perfect grade D film for Rifftrax. Filmed in rural Eutaw, Alabama and directed by Michael Douglas’s brother, it’s Jaws of Satan! Fritz Weaver starred as a priest. You can hesr the pitch- This is Jaws meets The Exorcist meets Deliverance.
  20. Well, not exactly No hard feelings . . . Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!
  21. There’s the fucking rub. Killer psychos just off yourselves and be worm food.
  22. Hands up errbody who wants to brunch on the deck and watch USCE at A&M at 11:00 Saturday . . .
  23. I mean, I like chicken, I like pimento cheese and I like honey but not all mashed together. As the little baby bib kid used to say (now very un PC but IDGAF), I’SE FIGNA VOMICK!
  24. Our remaining schedule: 10/21 vs Tennessee 11/04 vs LSU 11/11 @ Kentucky 11/18 vs Chattanooga 11/11 @ Auburn Based on yesterday’s haphazard, unfocused, second half derpfest, snatch a salvage win from the jaws of embarrassment performance, I have faint hope in this year’s final outcome. Milroe doesn’t seem to be able to detect pressure coming presnap or postsnap, and his aggy game downfield touch wasn’t there yesterday in the second half. Tennessee reminds me of Texas, Daniels should dissect us, especially if the defense is gassed, Kentucky will be tough or we will make it tough, and the Philistines of the Plains will pull something out of Freeze’s ass to make that game a gut check. Well, fuck me. After the Tua to Devanta title on 2nd and 26, I vowed never to bitch about Alabama football again and I’m not now. Considering how this season looked after the Texas game, I should be thankful, and I am. But Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what the fuck is going on with the O line? Thank god for our kicker and punter. Roll Tide anyway. We’re still in it. Hope, ever how slight, springs eternal.
