  1. I can't hear that tune without flashing back to, "Yogi is smarter than the average bear, Yogi is always in the Ranger's hair, etc." Kind of chills the martial grandiosity. Disclaimer - to those under fifty who don't know who the fuck Yogi is or how the Aggie War Hymn to pomposity is related, never mind.
  2. He has nothing like the explosive burst that Ricky did in his prime but Derrick Henry is anything but slow. Big Ricky fan here - the college game needs more of his Rickyness, a kind and gentle man who will run over, around or through your ass.
  3. Last of the Mohicans (1992 version). Wes Studi and Daniel Day-Lewis, the whole cast, really. Steve Waddington as the British officer shot by Day-Lewis before being burned alive played an asshole you felt respect for in the end. Actors portraying the British and French commanding generals were superb.
  4. Yep, that was two years later. Namath on a bad knee vs Tommy Nobis, Ernie Koy, George Sauer and company. Horns had two 80-yard TDs. Horns were up 21-7 at the half. Joe ran a qb sneak on 4th goal from the 1 late in the 4th quarter, Bama trailing 21-17. The right side linesman with a great view signaled TD and the gotdammed motherfuckin summuvabitchin back judge came running in from the back of the end zone waving it off. Ball game. Namath came to the sideline telling Bryant he was over, that the whole football was in the end zone! Bryant told Joe he needed to get his whole ass in the end zone and remove all doubt. Point being, no one beat anyone's ass in that game, but the Horns got the win, I'll grant you that. I fucking hate games turning on a single bad call late. Joe signed with the Jets in the dressing room after that game for a $400,000 bonus, unheard of in those days.
  5. Over under is 80 1/2 last I saw. Paper clips +15 and the under look pretty good. Tua's normally bat-radar accuracy is off when he can't push off on his right leg and he is gimpier than ever (high ankle sprain + surgical procedure on his right ankle, left ankle sprain, knee still somewhat sore) and on top of all this he's been holding the ball too long. Hurts is an X factor. Ewok will scramble around and OU will score enough to beat the line, if not win outright. Crowd will be 75/25 OU. Success-spoiled Tide fans won't show up in big numbers. Neutral fans will whoop it up big for the upset if we have another shitty first half, which has been a trend last few games. As a Bama fan I am definitely not confident. Maybe we can channel the Orange Bowl of 1/1/63. Bama skunked OU and Joe Don Looney 17-0. Lee Roy Jordan had 30 individual tackles. QB was some yankee kid named Namath.
  6. Flick? Flick who?
  7. I'd like to see Peter Jackson's take on The Legend of Zelda. I'd pay money to see a good adaptation of the whole Zelda story / look / music schmeer.
  8. 1. I'm thinking he will be teaching the Insurgent Warfare course from the point of view of the insurgents. 2. The leg lamp takes the cake. 3. Mike Leach is Muddy the Mudskipper and I am Stimpson J. Cat. 4. My Army Air Corps WW2 vet dad would not "cotton" to Mike Leach.
  9. Always pause a beat or two to allow the defendant's atty time to object. Only answer what is asked. And don't volunteer shit. Be truthful. Fucking around on Surly is fine but being sanctioned, fined or jailed for contempt of court is not.
  10. This. One of Kirk's best if not THE best.
  11. Not single smile crossed his countenance during the entirety of the Heisman show. Sourpuss Aggieman, I'd say.
  12. Is it just me or is Kyler Murray's father a joyless, arrogant asshole?
  13. This story is now my Grecian urn of fables. It has set the tone for Christmas 2018. Many thanks.
  14. Not to mention a raven plucking an eyeball from the skull of a corpse and swallowing it. It's hard to stop watching this film if one surfs into it. The voice of Nigel Terry (Arthur) doesn't sit well for some reason but you like soft focus and tons if gleaming armor, you'll love Excalibur.
  15. LEGEND (1985) Perfect for a cold wet Sunday afternoon - Ridley Scott directing unicorns, nubile Mia Sara, with Tim Curry and his voice. My only criticisms - the Cruise factor and too much gossamer shit in the air early on.
  16. "Impact" as a verb. "Partner" as a verb. Coaches using the royal "we."
  17. "Theenk yow." "Joolery." "All the sudden."
  18. Each and every commercial for an unpronounceable medication with a voiceover citing multiple horrendous side effects like spontaneous skin sloughing, chronic diarrhea and bleeding from the eyes. No thanks, I'll take my chances with the disease in question. Thank God for the DVR.
  19. I got a preadolescent thrill when as an 11-year old my mother forced me to go with her to From Russia With Love. Get this - she thought it was a travel documentary! When the belly dancer came bopping out with a jewel in her navel, she said, "Oh son, what I brought you to!" And started to get up to leave. My eyes were popping out of my head. I kept telling her the Scenic steppes and onion domes would probably be coming up in a minute or two - and I conned her into watching the whole film. Hey, it was 1963. You had to be there.
  20. He's still unctuous. And a weasel.
  21. And Simcoe's quasi-falsetto voice only added to the menace. You're right, an excellent, vicious villain. His superior, Major Hewlett, who had the hots for lovely Anna, was a very sympathetic character. This series really brought the Revolutionary War to life.
  22. If Nick Saban quit tomorrow and personally endorsed him, Urban Meyer would never be considered. Alabama would rather have Bear Bryant's hat than that unctuous weasel, 97% winning percentage be damned.
  23. Someone explain to me why Bama/OU are playing in Miami rather than Jerrahworld. Does or does not the 1 seed get shortest travel distance? Dallas is 100 miles closer to Tuscaloosa. No sir, I don't like it. Dallas would be a home game for OU, so if someone fucked up, fine with me. Or was this like one of Bill Muuray's "more like a guideline" things?
  24. Should've punted. Still, his teams have dominated six out of the last eight quarters vs Bama.
  25. And he did it without seeking publicity, so there's that. Total silence from Steve. Not a word. See how YOU like it.
