War Eagle. Hope you have a fantastic time at the Iron Bowl.

Be skeptical. "Hearing something during a broadcast" is almost equivalent to saying "I read it on the internet."

A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized She was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his: Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out. "Business trip or pleasure? "She turned, smiled and said. "Business. I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston." He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen Sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked. “What’s your Business at this convention?" “Lecturer." She responded. "I use information that I have learned from my Personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality." “Really?” He said. “And what kind of myths are there?” “Well.” She explained. “One popular myth is that African-American men are The most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is That Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Mexican Descent who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with Absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck." Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed.. "I’m Sorry." She said, “I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don’t even know your name." "Tonto." The man said. "Tonto Gonzales, but my friends call me Bubba."

He was tryin' to win the game! (damnit)

An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things: The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. The bouncer is a blonde girl. I'm a 6-foot-tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?' The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters, 'No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.

Let me know when & where and I'll gladly help you drink up!

So ... how many bottles of Screaming Eagle Cab do you have to pay out?

Perhaps. I'm just trying to wean myself off from using Google as much as I can. Hard to do since I've got an android device and any app I use has to come from their Play Store. I'm not totally wedded to my phone like some are and will often just turn it off when I'm at home. I also disable the GPS tracking when I'm out & about -- only using it to find a new address I'm unfamiliar with.

But we need OL! ... Seriously, congrats to you both.

I might add after using this setup for awhile, I can report that I've encountered zero Luddites(!)

I use DuckDuckGo as a search engine & browser, combined with Express VPN.

If I ever see Harsin I'll be sure to give him a War Eagle ... just to see him squirm(!)

Yes, it's definitely curious. When Goofy Gus got the $49M extension in 2017, one could somewhat justify it because of the totally unexpected wins against top-ranked uat & UGA, and the fear of losing Gus to Arky (lol, that still cracks me up having to write it.) But this time there's only an unprecedented loss to a bottom dwelling Baylor team. The optics look terrible.

Well deserved.

And there's also the slight problem of having to burn two TOs early in the game because the offense can't get lined up correctly or whatever -- that screams the offense is still a work in progress.

I like the way Battie shifts gears too -- he makes people miss. Thought he was going to break free on the long KO return.

Where are the grades for the special teams? Chapman deserves to be SEC special teams player of the week.

That could work. I think it was 3 punts last game that were delay of game penalties also? If so, than that's around a full minute or so of lost time. Chapman is familiar with rugby-style and/or Australian rules football kicks so, kicking short & directional shouldn't be a problem for him.

There is precedent for awarding a TD:

The link I provided was to a Dallas Morning News article listing the reasons why TAMU was successful, but now it's protected behind a paywall. Oh well, what I highlighted was about their defense -- they had AU's number from the get-go. My opinion: the OL is not providing the QBs enough time to operate the same way they did against UMass & Samford. Speed kills & SEC type speed is a lethal animal. TAMU's DC provided the blueprint to defeat AU for every SEC team on AU's schedule. The challenge for OL coach Thorton is to do something about pass pro by making changes or get used to seeing more multiple sack games.

It won't matter who plays QB if the problems with the OL aren't fixed, especially pass protection. Last Saturday, I saw a 3-man rush cause a QB hurry. Three words: In - Ex - Cusable. Hard to read this, but it is so true
