    I had family by marriage from New Mexico. This is very much on brand for the unique from any other state form of crazy that NM generates. I bet they "grew up hunting deer with knives" too. Yes, that's a direct quote said in absolute serious tone.

    Hey now, after all, Davy Crockett kilt him a b'ar when he was only 3.

    I can tell you guys that the Georgia fans are not fans at all of Texas. I was reading a thread earlier on their 247 site it is glorious how much they hate Texas. A bunch of them are admitting to their board, sheepishly, it appears, that they're going to be rooting for Ohio State and against a fellow SEC team for the first time in their lives. Others are simply wishing for a meteor to strike the Horseshoe at about 12:05pm (their time) tomorrow. 

    Imagine how those imbeciles are going to behave when Texas starts beating them. 

    I assume they just go back to being familiars for Bama.

    We should probably start a thread, if one doesn't exist, of good podcasters. We shit on bad ones, which I support, but to be clued in to some I'm unaware of would be nice. Perhaps it already exists and I'm clueless? 

    Klatt, The Film Guy and College Football Nerds all have been discussed and posted here and those are my personal top 3. Would love to find more. 

    Always College Football with Greg McElroy is a good podcast.

    Giving the players those hurling bats is bold:

    Cool it's basically a bowl game atmosphere with all the festivities

    My brother and his wife just returned from a month in Ireland.  They rode the train from Donegal to Dublin with all the Donegal fans who were playing Kerry in the Gaelic Football Championship.  Lots of singing and drinking.  When they detrained in Dublin the entire city was awash with fans from all over the country.  They had to purchase something at a pharmacy and when they told the pharmacist about their train ride, she looked up and in dead earnestness said, 
    "Kerry is comin."

    55 yd TD run for Sam Hou.  they got the lead.  10-7

    QB draw, reminiscent of Robert Brewer v Bama in the 80 or 81 Cotton Bowl.  No one - nary a soul - in the middle of the field.

    I don’t want a crossing route or a bomb going for 65 yards. The points all count the same. This is a good tackling team. I’ll take a chance on containing the dink and dunk versus getting smoked by the best WR off the line. 

    Gospel. It blows my mind that anyone would think differently.  This is one of those unalterable truisms along the lines of, "Make sure the gun is unloaded before trying to clean it."

  7. I think it was Gerry who said that at some point (one would think after they are on campus) they are signing 3 year contracts.  They better hope their representatives are actual agents that have their best interest at heart, because someone needs to read the fine print.  You know, in case there's a clause buried in there that binds them to Tech if they are difference makers, and a clause that allows Tech to sever the relationship without paying out the remaining contract, you know, in case they are not difference makers.  Too bad lawyer Mike Leach is no longer with us, I bet he would have a few things to say.
