You idiots are like Charlie Brown with the football. :lol:
Anyone fighting to continue the charade that college basketball players represent amateurism in any shape, form, or fashion is being willfully stupid.

Anybody heard of Die Spitz? All-girl band from Austin that exist in a space somewhere between punk and metal. They're pretty damn good.

I think a lot of the hate for "We Built This City" comes from just how far Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship strayed from their psychedelic roots in a bid to remain rock stars. You may or may not like "White Rabbit" but at least it feels like a song written by someone who was trying to say something, even if that something was just "I like drugs and Alice in Wonderland." WBTC, on the other hand, feels like a song written by one of the committees that produce movie scripts these days. Purely soulless pabulum.
Henry Cavill, you magnificent bastard, if you manage to get a pure version of 40K put on my television screen in this day and age I will drink a glass of bourbon in your honor.

I mean, I was going to drink it anyway, but I'll just say that I'm drinking it in your honor in this scenario.
Um, Alabama has 28. I just looked us up because our number was so wildly wrong. I am quite sure other schools have incorrect numbers posted too. Did Kiffin just make these up?

Hey man, where'd you get your glasses at? I've been looking for some like those but I haven't been able to find any with lenses that deeply crimson. :lol:

Seriously, though, I've decided to be optimistic about this upcoming season. DeBoer at least seems to have identified the problem areas from last year and taken steps to address them. I'm going to assume that we will improve until proven otherwise.
Well never mind. I tried to make a joke but the joke turned out to be the reality. :lol:

When is the last time there was actually a 3 second violation called on anyone, anywhere? The refs routinely let offensive players hang out for 5+ seconds in the lane with no whistle. I seriously don't think I've seen this call made in the college game in several years now. And we are as much the beneficiary of it as anyone else. I just don't understand why they have stopped enforcing this rule while it is still on the books. I actually looked it up a couple of years ago because I assumed there must have been a rules change that I wasn't aware of, but nope.
I laughed, I admit it. Especially at the "You have my blaster" line. :lol:

Pretty much anything made by Shawn Fedorchuk


I'm smart enough to know better than to actually watch them.
Preach, brother, preach! If I'm not mistaken Oats is literally the winningest coach in the conference since arriving at Bama, and yet we have absolute brickbrains on this board accusing him of "not coaching winning basketball" and pining for the days of Gottfried and Grant and Johnson. I don't even know how to respond to that, quite honestly, other than to look around for their handler.

You guys have lost your minds. Coach K missed tournaments. Roy Williams missed tournaments. Cal missed tournaments. We are a top 9 or 10 program in the sport the last half decade and we’re melting down over what’s probably gonna end up being a 6 seed


Our basketball fanbase suffers from bleedover from our football fanbase. Even in football the "Gawddammit we are Alabama we better not never lose no games or trail in a football game for even a single minute" mindset is poisonous when our coach isn't the literal GOAT, but then those same retards want Alabama basketball to be the same when it isn't and will never be. Oats' teams frustrate me sometimes but at the end of the day the man wins far more than he loses and has made us a perennial tournament participant that regularly makes deep runs. He isn't perfect and his system has strengths and weaknesses but he's a damn sight better than any other basketball coach we've ever had and we're lucky he's showed loyalty to us when he could have cashed in his chips and gone to a blue blood multiple times. Anyone trying to say we should consider moving on from him should consider moving on themselves and finding some other team to cheer for because we don't fricking want you.
It really eats at Auburn fans that Nate Oats is a better coach than Bruce Pearl ever was. Meanwhile the Tigers are acting like college basketball North Korea. "When old Glorious Leader retires, his son must become new Glorious Leader! There is no other way!"
The Minibosses already produced the final word in Mega Man-related music:

The show lost me when it became clear that people who turned into zombies would decay normally as if they were dead... but only to a certain point, that point being, "the point at which they look the zombie-est." The show continued months and then years after the initial outbreak when most everyone was dead, and yet there were still huge hordes of zombies wandering about looking exactly the same as they did when the show started.



..oh, and when the guy with the tiger showed up. That also caused me to roll my eyes and stop watching.

Update: I still haven't watched it


Ha! I forgot about that thread, and the review I posted therein. Going back and reading my thoughts immediately after seeing it the first time, I find that I like it even more after a second viewing and some time to stew on it. Skinamarink is an experience that you just won't find anywhere else except during your own dreams, and like a dream, it can be slow and pointless, it can be weird and unsettling, and it can be scary as shite (at least the first time you watch it). Also like a bad dream, it is only really going to work if you watch it alone in the middle of the night with all the lights off.
I'll probably be the only one to vote for this one, but I like it quite a lot:

As much as Auburn fans hate Alabama football, I think they hate Bama basketball even more. In their heart of hearts they know that Bama will always dominate them on the football field, but the fact that Bama also eclipsed them on the basketball court during their greatest run ever eats at them something fierce. I, for one, love to see it. :lol:
