They also had one outside Auburn. Never knew about it until I was in my 20's. Grandmother was giving me directions to some location and said "turn at POW camp."
The what???

I can sympathize with the guy who gets it again and again. I did essentially a total dislocation playing bball in grad school. On crutches for 2 weeks. Doc was stunned it wasn't broken. next year did it again but walked into the doc's office. because it was "chronic" they put me in a walking cast for 4 weeks. I guess it worked since I haven't done it again but every now and them the ankle pops loudly.
A big part of the scheduling problem is that you have no idea what you are scheduling. A lot of the OOC is done 4-5 years ahead. No clue whether the team is good or bad. Texas was given grief over Michigan. Good grief they won it all last year. This years team isn't as good. You have no idea what you will get a few years out. On the other hand scheduling a directional school will probably give you a win.
Cannot stand the word "patented" - like "he directed another one of his patented fourth quarter comebacks." Just shut up
With all the discussion of how to get the game - isn;t this the only appearance on ESPN+ for the year? For some reason I thought I read that
Not quite as easy as you expect. Found SEC+ a few hours before the game and left it in my favorites. Apparently Xfinity or Samsung TV has coded streaming to be that single show. Turned it back on five minutes before the game and had to go back to the start and find it again because "you're program has ended".
Not a huge effect in terms of rankings and MNC's but the 84 Iron Bowl when Dye passed on a go ahead FG with a few minutes left. Lead to Bo going the wrong way on 4th down. The wild thing is that they got the ball back and then missed from over 50 for the winning FG. Kicker transferred to Florida and beat Auburn with a FG a few years later. The possible FG was from inside the ten and from the hashmark so a bad angle but come on. However if Bo had lead the ball carrier they probably would have gotten a 1st down and could have scored. Just an weird decision though.
I would've used Peter LaCock and gone into the French adult movie business.

His son did - except as major league baseball player

Used for old oil cans. Push it in the can and pour ON your car through the funnel.

Those things leaked all over. Since you had the can almost upside down oil generally went in and on the engine
I seem to remember early 2000s when Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown were both injured that a tiny white boy named Tre Smith went wild for 200+.

Still of the best quote I ever saw during the game. On Alabama's game thread - we are making this little white guy look like Bo Jackson
Why do the British drink warm beer?

Their refrigerators have Lucas wiring


The Lucas motto - be home before dark!
5 bucks a car at Whitesburg Drive In in Huntsville. Also had triple feature of James Bond at times :lol:
Oh yeah. Right on the corner of Glenn and Dean. Used to buy weed from the Tiger Pies delivery driver. Still remember the number 826-PIES


That's a nice duo. One stop for pizza and weed.
Every night I had to walk home late from Chem Eng building from studying. Lived in Goodwin apartments so had to walk thru either Wendy's or McDonalds parking lot. Gained weight. Also got fried chicken a lot from Hartz (IIRC)
Senior year at Auburn in 80's. Army and Navy ROTC had an event on drill field and the fighters came over from Maxwell. By that I mean in afterburner at about 200 feet above the field. The old chem eng building has 8 foot windows that were open and I literally jumped out since I figured the Russians had arrived. The real fun was in Haley Center which has classrooms with no windows. Several veterans and some professors who had been in the service hit the ground immediately.
Southeast Europe was a powder keg. The Austro Hungarian and Ottoman empires were on the verge of disintegrating. Germany wanted to be the big swinging dick and England said Nah. France was itching for revenge over the 1870 Franco Prussian War. And Russia was Russia. The balloon was going up in Europe, the only question was how would it start. Serbia it was.


Pretty correct there. There was an expression going around - if you wish for peace then prepare for war.
Several good documentaries on Discovery channels point out that Germany expected to be in France before England could get there. They also expected the war to be over by the end of the year. Belgium threw a huge wrench in their plans by taking weeks to conquer versus days and Britian had time to mobilize. At the beginning of the war England had no mass induction for the military. It was essentially volunteer.
Going to suggest Fonda San Miguel as an alternative. It is great but not Tex Mex. Proudly claim Central Mexico
Pretty sure the fuel tanks which really did help shorten the Pacific War were planned to be bombed in the 3rd wave. Fortunately for the US that wave was called off.
You’re right. Without the code breakers giving Nimitz the intel he needed to put our carriers at the exact right spot at the exact right time, Midway would have fallen and very likely Hawaii would have been next. What was left of our Pacific Fleet would have been forced to fallback to the west coast. And it would most likely be 1944 before we would be in any position to think about beginning a push across the Pacific. The war in the Pacific could have dragged on until 1947 or even longer had we lost at Midway.


In the book Nimitz and his Admirals - which should be required reading - they state that after Midway Nimitz knew we would win and while he wouldn't say when, he believed it would be much sooner than the current estimate of 1949. The US was planning for a 8-10 year war before Midway.
That may have been taken right before his crash. I remember that Bill Hickman was a stuntman and teaching him to race - was driving a car with trailer and was first to the crash. Hickman also was the stunt driver/actor for black Charger in Bullit. Liked his tightning the seat belt before starting the chase


edit - referring to James Dean phot
