  1. Just listened to audiobook of Elmore Leonard book “Raylan.” Excellent stuff - Crowes, Crowders, other familiar characters from Justified, kidney stealing and selling back to original owners,  racehorse owners, gambling chicks, girl gang bank robbers all kinds of crazy shit. Highly recommend. Hope to see this in a Justified flashback one day.

  3. Tetris

    Mama Llama, Baby Llama and I really enjoyed it. Baby Llama is a child of the 80s and we played a helluva lot of Zelda, Galaga, Qbert, Tetris, all that jazz. Very clever the  way the filmmakers incorporated “primitive” 80s video game graphics and animation into actual images and scenes. The plot (supposedly true) was a ripper. Inspiring, actually.

    Last season of Endeavor has begun.   

    Semi related - Roger Allam who portrays DI Thursday on Endeavour, plays media mogul Maxwell in Tetris and steals the show, although covered with fake blubber and prosthetics. Didn’t know who the fuck he was. Drove me nuts until I Imdb’d his character. I knew that voice. Always enjoyed the rapport and tension between DI Thursday (Allam) and FS Endeavour (Shaun Evans).

    Are you maybe thinking about the bus station? Because the train station is 1.7 miles from the stadium. I thought the walk was fairly flat. Agree on the heat but that's one of the reasons I'd rather be in jail (you get shade, plus fewer drunks) than Ttown on game day.

    You, sir, are correct. It only seems like five miles. For someone born and raised in Tuscaloosa, my estimate of walking distance was way off.  For most game dsys, I agree with your last sentence unless you are somewhere from which you can walk to the game in thirty minutes or less.

    I have a feeling this game will be a great one. Bama vs Texas = Unpredictable Chaos.

  6. Archibald’s is worth the trip. It’s in Northport, but with kick at six you could justify early afternoon BBQ at Archibalds.

    The Amtrak depot is five miles from the stadium, most of the way uphill and hot as a sizzling skillet on that day. Good luck finding a ride.

    Get to the Quad, only a few blocks from the stadium. Drink, eat, bullshit, swagger around wearing burnt orange, have a great weekend, win or lose.

    This is an historic meeting, so go! My guys  need five Ws to get to even with Texas. Bama-Texas is always a trip.

    Matthew McConaughey in Pell City 

    Matthew McConaughey is on a restaurant tour of Alabama, it seems, at least shooting movies if not enjoying meals there as he films “The Rivals of Amziah King” this summer.

    The latest sighting on McConaWatch located the Oscar-winning star of “Dallas Buyers Club” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” at the Pell City Steak House Restaurant, located at 2401 Comer Ave., right off of Highway 231. The Rev. Chuck Lackey, pastor at Calvary Baptist Church of Odenville, happened to drive by the moment McConaughey walked across the entrance of the beloved Alabama steakhouse. “Alright, alright, alright!,” Lackey told AL.com he shouted at the star, referencing McConaughey’s iconic line uttered by his character Wooderson in the 1993 film “Dazed and Confused.”

  8. I don’t care who’s on the schedule or where the game is played, if Texas brings the defensive intensity I saw last year vs. my guys, the Horns will be in every game. If the Mullet stays healthy, all Ws is a legit possibility. Hell, don’t be talking how tough the SEC is. Just roll out Bevo and give it hell.

    Roll Tide by the way. See you in September.

  9. More about Archibald's. Today's AL.com ranked it #1 best BBQ in Alabama (article appears below). Well worth a visit when Horns came to Tuscaloosa.

    Archibald's Bar-B-Q in Northport, Ala.

    1. Archibald’s Bar-B-Q

    1211 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Northport. archibaldbbq.com

    Archibald’s, as we have said before, is the hallowed ground of holy smoke, the Wrigley Field of rib joints, and a pilgrimage to this modest, soot-scorched, cinderblock shrine should be a must on any barbecue lover’s bucket list. During basketball season, we make that trip at least a half-dozen times or so for our pre-game meals. Archibald’s is revered for its ribs, which are grilled over a bed of hot hickory coals in a well-seasoned brick pit that’s right behind the front counter, so guests get a front-row seat to watch the Archibald’s pitmasters in action. In recent years, they’ve added a screened porch to accommodate the overflow crowd (a good thing) and expanded the menu to include hot wings (highly recommended) and even fried catfish. Otherwise, not a lot has changed since the late George and Betty Archibald opened the place behind their home in Northport in 1962. Woodrow Washington III, their grandson, continues their legacy with the help of his siblings Lashawn, Reginald and Dalvin. (Washington also opened a second location, Archibald & Woodrow’s BBQ, on Greensboro Avenue in Tuscaloosa in 2002.)

    Order this: To get the true experience, we recommend the mixed plate, which comes with four or five big and meaty ribs, an ample serving of sliced pork, several slices of white bread and a small Styrofoam cup of Archibald’s atomic-orange barbecue sauce. For the full effect, wash it all down with an ice-cold Grapico.

    My daughter was a freshman at UA during the Mike Price Spring. He had a condo close by Bryant Denny with key pad gate. One of my daughter’s friends was going in and Mike was staggering around at the gate asking to be let in. He hit on everything with a twat while he was on campus and off (see Arety’s Angels fiasco. The players loved him. Imagine that.

    P.S. - Claimed he had “forgotten his gate code.”

  12. #32 went out at the pinnacle of his game. He could run over, between and through defenders better than any rb I ever saw. Jim Brown and Dr Frank Ryan (Rice alum) were the engine of a damn good offense, with a damn smart corch on the sidelines, Paul Brown. Loved watching those guys play in cold weather outside on our old black and white TV. Cue Frank Fazenda (sp?)“Under a leaden sky and blowing snow at Soldier Field, Jim Brown single handedly dismantled the vaunted Chicago Bears, led by Dick Butkus . . . “
