By the way, a "yat" is short for "where ya'at?" which is the way most coonazzes greet each other. "Yat" is the Louisiana equivalent of redneck, or moonshiner, or ridgerunner, or barner...


We have "yats" and "batches"

"batches" are the people who respond to "How are you doing?" with "pretty good, 'batchyall?"

September 2005:

"Despite each program’s standing among the nation’s elite, Tennessee and Oklahoma have met only twice, with both games taking place at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Fla. The Vols shut out the Sooners 17-0 in the 1939 Orange Bowl (UT’s second bowl game ever).
Then in the 1968 Orange Bowl, Oklahoma posted a 26-24 victory to even the all-time series at 1-1.
Since legendary head coach Gen. Robert R. Neyland coached his first team at Tennessee in 1926, the Vols have won more games (618) than any other school in the country. Oklahoma ranks third nationally with 602 wins since 1926."

"How we gonna build this mailbox, brick by brick?" asks several players.

"Dat way," replies Butch Jones as he receives a call from the local sheriff for a heads up to a player rape investigation.

Stop encouraging him. You will end up with another snooze-inducing tangential Papa thread. Keep this thread focused in on what's important: the overwhelming embarrassment that is Lyle Allen Jones.

Edit: it's "howbow dah" not "how bow dat". -5 points for pop culture reference failure.

Who both live in New York and haven't lived in Arkansas for a couple of decades? Besides Hillary has always been loathed in the state. Sorry WP, you gotta own Dat Way.

Bill was born and bred in Arkansas. People from Arkansas empowered and nurtured him. Own that.

I don't have any trouble with belittling Lyle.

But I do stick up for my university. You are perhaps not an alumni.

It's Atlanta slang used in a few rap songs... I'm sure they created an acronym for it so they wouldn't look like total idiots. By the time the season starts it will already be an old phrase and then they'll really look stupid.

Dat way is a saying the migos, the rap group, use. Just another poor way of butch using lame tactics to get to his players. Yet when it comes time to visit recruits in low income areas he needs a roped off section and security guards..... this dude needs his own show what a clown
