  1. Bama Llama

    UCF

    UCF has already beaten Bama, in Tuscaloosa, no less, 40-38 in 2000. I loved it when they humiliated Auburn last year in the Whatever Bowl. Each of the P5 should have a wheel of fortune spin to pick a team to go home & home with UCF over the next couple of years, and drop a few paycheck games. Memo to UCF sports marketing wonks: get a better logo. The current one reminds me of a muffler shop.
  2. That's what _she_ said.
  3. Take UAB and the points. Here's why: https://theathletic.com/656972/2018/11/16/uab-blazers-football-return-defense-second-year/ "UAB’s 9-1 record this year has been fueled by one of the best defenses in the country. Its 13.2 points allowed per game trails only Clemson, Alabama and Michigan. Its 3.8 sacks per game leads the nation. The Blazers have three shutouts and have allowed points in only eight of 28 quarters in conference play."
  4. Jayhawks press conferences just got a lot more interesting. And mysterious.
  5. The shooter never even _looked_ into the dashcam vehicle. The cop whose voice we heard must've thought he was a dead man.
  6. We hereby revoke your avatar and declare you daft. Sincerely yours, The Beatles

  8. I'll run off that bridge when I get to it.
  9. Millennialspeak news and sports reporters beginning EVERY FUCKING SPOKEN sentence summarizing some event with "So . . . ." So - nothing! Say what you came to say without a fucking "so . . ." preamble and get on with it. And since when did a reaction have to be a "takeaway?" I blame bold roast coffee beans and ritalin.
  10. Fox Sports recently ran a short segment trailing a camera crew around Pullman for Mike's daily walk. It was the week before Halloween. Mike sauntered along a sidewalk faced by Craftsman bungalows, absolutely no one around, steaming large coffee in hand, gazing at brilliant blue skies and autumn leaves, when he just. Stopped. And wheeled ninety degrees to gaze in rapt wonder at a front yard full of ghosts, bizarre jackolanterns and cornstalk monsters. He just stood rooted there without moving for a good fifteen or twenty seconds, taking it all in as if memorizing the scene. As he said in the live mascots video clip, he's "curious." Bravo, Pirate. I hope that fucking Auburn eagle flies the hell out of the stadium this week, right after he squirts about two quarts of eagle shit on the Aubies and snatches off a wig hat or two. Leach to Auburn - free the eagles!
  11. Bastardi! Beat me to it. Read this whole thread and all the Tom Cruise debate just to be sure no one else had mentioned my candidate for worst casting, spoken word, Keanu as Jonathan Harker, everyone's favorite sacrificial lamb whose innocent journey sets up the entire plot, is cast as a Victorian surfer law clerk. His casting spoilt this movie but I still watch it every time it catches my eye. Oldman, even with the odd hair and getups, gives me the heebie jeebies every time he opens his mouth, whether to utter lines like "Leesten to the cheeld-d-ren of the naeiight; whot bewwdifole mewzzick dhey mayke," or to lick Jonathan Dude's drops of blood off the edge of that straight razor.
  12. Terrapins Madness - not unlike the melee at the Ayatollah Khomeini funeral when a massive, hysterical throng was crowd surfing his (loaded) casket trying to put it on a helicopter for some reason, and the lid popped open and his arm flopped out as if he were waving. Then the shit really started.
  13. Vintage presser response from a contemplative Leach addressing the question, "What was the best party you ever attended?" (video won't imbed, but it's in the link.) I for one would love to see the Pirate in the SEC, even at Auburn. https://articles.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2017/09/why_was_mike_leach_discussing.amp
  14. Not a Gundy fan here but bravo the statement. Who was the walking scrotum with a media pass who asked Gundy the question that prompted the rant? Citing "social media" as something to which a head coach should pay attention is nonsense. I mean, do you think leaders of big time organizations have time to bother with Twit . . . hold on. The president is coming up with a new derogatory adjective to describe the media. Gotta go.
  15. This game causes me to have visions of the OSU paddle brigade having a friendly "disciplinary encounter" with the Horns' chaps girls, creating a major distraction during which the Pokes squander the home field advantage. Bet at least a ha'p'ney on Texas and under.
  16. There, now I see it! Horns and Tide again in California for the natty. Sounds good to me! Then we can moan for the next ten years, "If Tua hadn't been injured . . ." Ahh, I'm just fuckin' witcha. I'd like to see that matchup anyway if we can both get to the playoff. I get to sing along with your fans, "I-I-I've been working on the rai-i-i-lroad allll the live long day . . . ." And I love that "Dinah, won't you blow" part.
  17. Jerry Tagge aummmm, Rich Glover aummmmmm, Johnny Rodgers aummmmmm. Repeat mantra until next season. This too shall pass. Speaking of passes, don't first year corches get a pass? Well, then, give the guy a fuckin pass awready.
  18. I would contribute to the buyout if the backroom gang at Auburn would bring the Pirate to the Plains, and I'm a Bama man. Talk about your good theater - Saban v. Leach for at least a few years.
  19. The toppermost of the poppermost. My first concert, 8/18/65, Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. Upper deck $4.50, all below $5.50. Bus charter from Alabama $5.00 more. Life changing. Good on yer, Johnny. Time wounds all heels (looking at YOU, Tricky Dick, John Mitchell and J. Evelyn Hoofer.
  20. This is like a Bizarroworld version of an episode of Fargo the season Ewan Macgregor played brothers. Such an innocent transaction, such a horrific result. Never trust a rat bastid.
  21. Curing hiccups in ten seconds with one teaspoon of creamy peanut butter. Masticate slowly and swallow. Guaranteed.
  22. I'm as Bama as it gets but I can't see this without hearing "Chariots of Fire" and expecting these guys to go slow-moing down the field like Clark and Rusty Griswold.
  23. Please napalm the Sprint ads with the quasi storm trooper bot and the twerpy spokesguy former Verizon turncoat. An absolute waste of the energy expended to produce and transmit this dreck.
  24. Saw the actual landing and Armstong's first step on a small black and white TV in a crowded junior college cafeteria in Saint-Malo, France in the middle of the fucking night July 21, 1969 local time. In the room were 50 or 60 French, German and American kids who had just graduated high school and were studying each other's languages and other attributes. No one griped about Vietnam, Nixon or cops bashing heads at the Chicago convention. Everyone, EVERYONE cheered and clapped when a human being set foot, sur la lune. There's no flag controversy; fuck politics. We thought then that we would all be visiting the moon routinely by now. What happened? Not feasible.
