Booth BBQ in Oxford

Best BBQ in Oxford is Bs and it shares a space with a convenience store.

Rice & Spice is the best place to eat there. And, that would hold in most places. It is really pretty good.

Where?

It accounts for the lawn chairs that you have to bring.

Auburn garbage that coach .... basketball.

Bruce Pearl is not to be harmed. That was a BS deal. He genuinely seems like a really good dude.
Good list, but it needs Trooper Taylor as football GM to complete the theme.

that goes to Fresno State

This. They weren't far over .500 and needed to win their conf tournament just to get into a regional as a 4 seed. They played a tough slate and literally came out of no where to win in 08.

That said, Murray St is a much smaller school and a great story all the same.

It is a great CWS field all around. It is good for the sport. You have to love baseball.
2nd and 26.

But, the 2012 game was a boxing match for the ages. Miss that football
I'd rather an Arky makeup W over the Beavers or an LSU win over Arky. Short of those options, Murray State vs Coastal would be cool. However, Coastal Carolina is closer to an old school Long Beach State than the small school feel and actual Cinderella that is Murray State

credit for transferring to a new team

This. Never going to have an issue with kids that get to their SO year and see/have a feel for where they rack and stack, then opt to go somewhere they can be competitive for playing time in what will likely be most of their final years playing ball.

Its the ones who are starters and stars just chasing free agent money that hurts the game for me, even if I get the humanistic urge to maximize value in this NIL era when you can. Crazy things happen. Cashing in before they might happen to you isn't a bad option; even if, it changes the feel of the game for fans.

Honestly, wish all of the transfers luck. Its still just a game, and none of us know what we'd do either in their situations at that age.

full season of ejections

:lol: didn't even think of that.

Charlie Ward went undrafted.

There have been quite a few undrafted over the years. I think Jason White was the last

Smith and Henry

Everyone else went first round - most top five minus Lamar.


Smith was a top 10 pick. I'd forgotten about Jackson's slip, so I'd guess Henry and Jackson.

Today was his 6th ejection coaching at TN. Skip in 18 years was ejected 3 times.


Bobby Cox had an MLB best 162 ejections. I never thought one was classless. It's a part of the culture to make point for future games, send a message to the team, or just hit the showers and bolt because you have a hot road game date.

Timing and context matter in all things. shite talking, bragging, and the subtle frick yous with body movement and actions are an art form in baseball. Just respect the art form.

re: SEC dominance by decade

Tennessee had a winning record against bama in the 1990s. Also anyone who watched from 1990 to 1999 would say Tennessee was the better program.

I don't disagree. It's a benefit of the yearly rivalry game for these comparisons. Even the early 90s when Bama was keeping it's win/no loss streak alive, they were close games. When UTk went on their streak starting in 1995, there were multiple 2 score ++ wins by the Vols.

My only recourse is to reintroduce the argument that a decade is the 1 to the 0 and not the 0 to the 9, so even though it only helps your case, let's please retread the decades argument, so I can go back to repressing the tears between Stallings and Saban. :lol: :cheers:

Interesting thread. :cheers: again.

I'd also flip UGA and AU in the 80s. NC carries more weight. Plus, UGA won 2 of 3 SEC titles outright. Au won 2 of 4 outright, and one was a 3-way tie. Plus, frick AU.
