re: Air Raid Concepts with Mike Leach.
Posted by ThirdGeneration on 11/10/25 at 2:24 pm to dbuchanon
Leach was just a very interesting person as well as a coach. On the old Texas forum about 15 years ago someone posted about running into Leach at Pearl Harbor on the sub there. He was trying to get his kids hat back out of the ocean after it flew off. Just walked out on the sub with a pole net and snagged it. I still have the picture of him holding the net on the sub. Leach was a coach you would love to go on a weekend camping trip with.

I was at the Orange jersey game. Bunch of "curious" calls by refs. I may be wrong but am pretty sure that was the last time they wore them. seldom might not be the best term since it is approaching 50 years

Of course Lucas. Company motto - Be Home before Dark. Had the dark prince make an appearance in mid 80's while i was in grad school. Driving down I-59 between T-Town and Bham where mercedes is now, but at midnight. It was dark as everything. Driving my 1960 MGA back then and the lights went out and the wipers turned on for about ten seconds. Then headlights returned. I was looking for the UFO that wanted me but it never happened again.

My 1962 MGA has two of those fuses - for the entire car.

Yeah. I had just bought my first new car and was replacing the radio while listening to the game. Some interesting gaps.

If this is true then wow.
You must be fairly young to not remember that screw job. Nebraska was called the greatest of all time and played no one. Miami was unknow but also played n one. NBC spent all December calling the Orange Bowl the MNC game. I have always wondered what if - assume Texas doesn't fumble the punt and beats Georgia. Would Miami have jumped an undefeated Texas also.

Always love those "upgrade" videos - no matter which school.

it wasn't just Auburn. When I lived in Mississippi in the 90's someone once mentioned that he remembered them at Miss State

It wasn't California. The Supreme Court ruled it was not constitutional which voided it in all states

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
re: Dumb question looking for smart answer about ESPN+
Posted by ThirdGeneration on 9/2/24 at 5:06 am to CorchJay
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.

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
