Is your real name Ebenezer? I bet you get a lump of coal in your stocking.



That's a helluva nice Christmas present. Those are some generous folks!

How long did you boycott SMU football?


You got me there.

Between SMU and Ole Miss, I've watched lots of bad football. It's different when you care.
If you had a watch party for Toledo vs Louisville, then good for you.

I didn't.

One of the best movies ever made. Yes it was racist, but equally against all races, which has really never been done before or since. Mel Brooks is very much under appreciated.

I would think LSUs only Christmas Wish this year is for Ole Miss to beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. On the one hand, it would be like a knife to the kidney, but on the other hand, it would validate everything they've done to this point. They would have no choice but to rejoice no matter how much it hurts, and hurt it would. If Ole Miss fails, maybe LSU made a mistake, and they would never admit that.
I saw that it was on, but I don't watch bad football.
There's like 500 people there and half of them got in for a can of beans, literally. Bush's Beans has to be forking over some major cash. Do they really get enough exposure to make this worthwhile?

So you're saying they just shut it down


All I'm saying is that it seems that play got in his head and affected him for the rest of the first half. He shook it off and played very well in the second half, but Bama had all the momentum by then.

Also, wind played into this game.


You would think that if anyone in the world would account for the wind it would be Oklahoma.

I take it you haven't caught any random ESPN coverage


I quit watching them a long time ago. I figure anything worth knowing about will light this board up pretty quick so I just check in here a few times a day.
I think it was Mateer failing to run for the easy 1st down on the drive following Bama's first score. You could see in his eyes that he knew he just made a big mistake. Then, when the punter inexplicably dropped the ball on the next play, Mateer looked completely dejected. The next drive he threw the pick 6 on an absolutely awful decision.
In just a few minutes, he went from having a 1st down in AL territory with a 10 point lead to a tied ballgame.

Thanks for the blast from the past. That's up there with "Where's the beef?"

on topic though, it's always about the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Even in a Cinderella run you have to have the players. The thing is, Ole Miss and Georgia both have the players. Advantage GA on defense, advantage OM on offense. This is going to be an exciting game.

Kevin is tight with Lane for sure. He's been with him since FAU, but Kirby hasn't made his offer yet. This might get very interesting.

Lots of teams spread out over long distances…


This is VERY accurate. The number of high schools in the north Texas metroplex is staggering, and almost all of them have 1 or 2 D1 scholarship players. The Deep South is much more concentrated.

Population of Georgia, 11M
Population of Texas, 31M

Both states have great high school football but there's just more of it in Texas.

Exactly my point. Modern college football ain't about the coach.

So I went to the game in Dallas last month and I'm gonna say that's a hard NO.
