  1. That is all very sound and logical, but the gators are the poster child of what have you done lately? It is beyond question that we sucked in our first four SEC series to go 1-11. It is also unquestioned that we won late season series against pig and the horns and the tide. We won the series against FSU as well in non-conference play. So you could say that our sucky start should keep us out of a regional bid, because computer ratings and a .500 conference record. But what if you had an undefeated team with three shutdown pitchers who were all injured in the same car accident, and were 0-14 their last games after? Are we going to include them for an 0-2 BBQ bid because they had incredible potential at the start of the year? I dunno man. At some point, the body of work has to be tweaked by how good you are as you enter the tournament. How one does that fairly? I have no earthly idea.
  2. Don’t bad Mojo us before we get by Coastal Carolina.
  3. My uncle Donnie was a bad ass with the First Special Service Force, a.k.a., the Devils Brigade. Shrapnel from a German 88 severed his spine and almost killed him - in the army medical care tried their best also after his paralysis left him with numerous bed sores and infections. His uncle drove from Miami and kidnapped him from the hospital and brought him home - helping him stay afloat in the ocean, paddling with his arms, getting stronger and curing his bedsores. He recovered enough to get a law degree from the university of Miami and to open his own law office. But the continued health challenges from his severe war injuries led to his death a decade later. Like so many veterans, the fact that he didn’t die the same hour he was injured in battle - and survived for years after - in my mind makes him just as eligible to be honored on Memorial Day as the other veterans who gave their last measure of devotion during the war. R.I.P. Donnie
  4. She flew P-51s and P-38s. Bad ass broad. RIP
  5. SEC-Rant fun: If you wanted a distilled version of Aggy brain, Cletus created a commemorative cup celebrating their .500 record against LSU after they were denied a tournament slot after being preseason Number 1. When called on the stupidity of having a football on the cup, the Aggy creator blamed it on artificial intelligence. Never change Aggy.
  6. Gata is generally content being in Coastal Carolinas regional. Which could be a mistake. That is a confident dangerous program who will not have jitters being there. I can’t imagine we would take them for granted. If we win the thing we probably get to play Auburn in the super. I would prefer seeing teams we’ve never played before - at least until Omaha.
  7. North Carolina sounds nice…. I never wanna be in Tallahassee or Georgia if I can help it.
  8. I had my roof replaced last year, and even though I got the upgraded shingles and the waterproof membrane on my entire roof instead of just the valleys, it turns out the plywood that was installed decades ago was not thick enough to meet the fortified roof standard, and it would have cost a fortune to replace every sheet of plywood on my roof to get the fortified certification that reduced my homeowners premium. $4K for ins, but in New Orleans that is a bargain.
  9. I’m waiting to see which regional will be welcoming number three seed Florida with open arms.
  10. Florida women won their seventh straight super regional third game win.
  11. That sounds much more PR friendly than “collapsible butt plug”.
  12. fantastic. We can’t get our crap together and it’s only May.
  13. My older brother has the Blind Faith album, the Beatles Butcher album cover, the original Golden Earring Moon Tan cover, and the Andy Warhol inspired black pirate album cover from Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat I’m actually in his will for those
  14. Damn, if we lose a super to Georgia at our place, there’s not enough alcohol in the world to make me feel better. We need a gator-longhorn matchup, bigly.
  15. Blue could not figure out whether he hated that low ball - or loved that low ball. Both feelings were in his heart all game.
  16. Its metaphorical….like, i was exited while drinking. and a lot of people are saying when you are happy - screaming anything with Oklahoma in it is just…wrong
  17. 11 dingers. not good
  18. first pitch strikes are apparently unattractive
  19. pig is 3 outs away from forcing a game three with ole miss. five of eight supers needed a game three.
