  1. Watching the video of Mack with the crystal ball, I am reminded what a chintzy-looking object the current trophy is. It looks like George Jetson's urinal.
  2. I watched every play of this game and was pulling for Texas every step of the way. Two or three of Alabama's last second wins over the years have come closer to stopping my heart but I can honestly say I have never enjoyed watching a sporting event more than the Horns vs. USC BCS champeenship in the best setting of all. One reason I enjoyed it even more was the way Reggie Bush's and Lyndale White's fathers where mugging and glad handing whopping it up on the USC sideline earlier in the day when USC had all the momentum and they were cashing Reggie's and Lyndale's checks in their heads. Plus - didn't like Pete Carroll then, don't like him now. Anyone who got to be there in person, count yourself lucky, and good on you.
  3. The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming was I believe a Mirisch Production, same as Mad, Mad etc World. The Russians one of my all time favorites with a nice supple plot and excellent cast. Alan Arkin, Carl Reiner, Jonathan Winters, and speaking of supple, the lovely Andrea Dromm as Reiner's babysitter. I relish that species of comedy, a la Sid Caesar and Ernie Kovacs. Peter Sellers, Python, SCTV (never gets the credit it deserves). Kentucky Fried Movie or maybe The Groove Tube opened with a newscaster saying, in his best Ted Knight voice, "This just in - Your popcorn's been pissed in! Film at eleven." Everyone in the thester eating popcorn immediately looked straight down. Good comedy is still good. It just seems harder to find as one gets older, but it's still there. Ya dang mo-rons.
  4. The Rose Bowl on a Thursday night didn't have an empty seat that I could see for Texas-Bama in 2010 BCS championship. Guess it's the Bama/Clemson/ESPN overkill meh factor plus exorbitant cost of getting, staying and dining and drinking there. I agree with the guy above who said Tuesday morning work time sucks big time.
  5. That giant whooshing sound you heard last night was the big football pendulum in the sky swinging back (with authority) toward Texas championship-level college football. To those on this board who had doubts about Coach Mensa, the woodwork is thataway ---> y'all can go right back into it from whence you came. This was a big shot in the arm for college football. Great game, Horns, all across the board. Kirby Smart meant every word he said and he was absolutely right. UGA asshole fans, have another piece of humble pie. UGA non-asshole fans, you know you will be in the hunt for years to come, so there's that.
  6. If he wasn't so metaphysically bizarre I'd be pissed at the Pirate for not beating these guys. At least the game would have some - what? Leachiness!
  7. U Dub please put in Sonny Sixkiller - I mean now, 45 year old Sonny Sixkiller!
  8. I wonder if Herbie has a spontaneous skeet every time OSU makes a TD. If so, he'd better pace himself. This looks like a blowout.
  9. This OU team and the Big XII in general remind me of playing roundball vs 1989 Loyola Marymount. If Saban hadn't taken his foot off the gas to limit OU's possessions, this could easily have been one of those last drive wins type games. And to think at 28-0 I was wondering if OU would ever make a game of it. There was too much groping and slapping allowed by the OU dbs and their OL's hands were busier than a ninth grader on a hot date. Shit, I'm just glad we'll never see that jackrabbit on meth again on a football field, or his sourpuss Aggy Papa's frowning face. Also, to be fair, #5 being dinged up made defending Murray somewhat easier for Bama. Clemson will be a very different story.
  10. What / where is that Fansville stadium?
  11. Kelly a/k/a Thermometer Face
  12. While the play by play guy was praising him Lawrence let the play clock run and Dabo hsd to burn a timeout. ND defense is pretty salty.
  13. Clemson band is annoying as shit, playing too long into the ND snap count.
  14. Countdown to Kelly red face
  15. My dear and beautiful but sardonically irreverent bride loves the "double time harch" scene in History of the World, swears she is seeing Gregory Hines's long schvantz flopping as the selected "candidates" march out. Mel Brooks has improved this old world, imho. Plus, banging Anne Bancroft.
  16. About time the taunting TD takeaway penalty was called. First time I've seen it done. I do recall George Teague pick-sixing Geno Toretta in the Sugar Bowl NC game years ago and high stepping the last 8 or 10 yards like a Rockette, but that was when celebration dances and all that shit was allowed. Didn't bother me then!
  17. Ditto. And I draw the line at boiling even movie pretend rabbits. Glenn Close is a fine actress but she didn't have the allure of prehomicidal Jessica Walter.
  18. Jessica Walter gives me the heebie jeebies to this day, even via the voice of an animated character on Archer. Roberta Flack's career took off on a nice arc when "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was featured prominently in that film, one of the moments not loaded with dread. That song grabs you by the heart and balls at the same time. Like that damn song. Like the old classic tune Misty, too. But crazy screaming bitches with butcher knives - nossir, don't like em.
  19. You guys may have already seen this but there's a very good Spanish documentary, "Sad Hill Unearthed," on Netflix about the restoration of the cemetery from the climactic scene in Good, Bad and Ugly. Some amazing shit - there were over 5,000 fake graves in the place. Almost impossible to click away from that film if one lights on it while channel surfing.
  20. Right here, boss. It was an unexpected treat because I was one of the thirty or so people who read the novel, which came out a few years ahead of the film. I never expected to see the story on film, thought it was pretty well done, and still timely since the USSR was still rattling sabers.
  21. God bless Mike Leach. He is to the press conference as Manny Sanguillen was to the at bat. He never gets cheated when he steps up to the plate. Unlike Manny, he seldom whiffs.
  22. Vandy qb Schumer is damn good. This team had Notre Dame on the ropes in South Bend (pre-Ian Book starting).
