re: Merry Christmas Bama Board

Posted by Chili Davis on 12/25/25 at 7:52 am to
Almost in the same boat with a 21 year old and a 17 year old. Youngest will be in school nearby for the next few years and the 21 year old seems like he’s sticking around, so maybe we have a few with everyone around.

We alternated for several years going back and forth to Bama for the holidays after I joined the AF. Over the past few years I’ve been back more for funerals that I have for holidays. Getting old is tough.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

re: Alabama radio calls from OU

I watched a little of the OU broadcast. I actually liked how their guys ran it. The only thing that was mildly off was how hilarious they thought they were with a “light in his eyes” joke when Germie whiffed the on the long pass.

I thought they painted a picture with things like “Alabama will take over, going right to left in their road whites from the 25.” If Chris would give us that every once in a while and regular down and distance, score, & time updates and I bet people would be a lot happier with him. Alabama radio guys have been allergic to that for a while though.
I expect them to remember who the frick they are and play like it. They can still be those same guys that walked out of Athens earlier this year with a win. They’ve been shite on for the past 6 weeks. It’s time to go. frick Oklahoma.
I’ll be away from the stadium and TVs Friday evening. It’s my daughter’s last performances in our local Nutcracker. She graduates this year and it doesn’t sound like ballet is in her future. Gotta be there one last time.

We may be dodging bullet here. If I wasn’t going to the ballet on Friday, I’d be in Norman. I have made the drive 3 times for football and basketball and have had a sad drive home each time.

I’ll check the temperature of the game thread after the ballet to determine if I’ll even watch the recording. :lol:

The triple option is what any self respecting UNA Lion would say here.
Mallette is the “glue guy” meme. Glad to have him on our side.
Which is worse… the B12 championship or this halftime entertainment?
Bama wasn’t everyone’s Super Bowl in 2007 or 2008. No one rushed the field when they beat Bama back then.
That was probably on me. I complemented Noah on the pass to London. I guess it’s back to normal with that dude. I will choose to believe that Nate didn’t watch any film on him at all before offering the scholarship.

I have family in Montgomery that is a part of the REC. If I remember correctly, it seemed as if you had to know someone to get an invite. They do well for themselves and have had season tickets for years. I wouldn’t say that they’re loaded, just retired now and have the time to do the things they like. I think they go to all of the events signing day, maybe a practice or two. I got a picture from them at an event this past summer with Trent Richardson.

The lore around the REC is kinda funny IYAM.
I’m partial to the TBS-Braves broadcasts. I think that TBS was the only channel my grandparents got in the 80s.

Lots of great memories walking to their house after school and having the TV on TBS the whole evening. Mid/late 80s Braves were terrible, but I also watched my fair share of Andy Griffith, Beverly Hillbillies, & Sanford and Son too. All part of the experience.
We got another Roll Tide out of Bruce on the pre game show. :lol:

re: Should Ty sit this game out?

If he’s healthy and it is a confidence issue, I want him to play and air it out and hopefully get some confidence back. Hopefully he can connect on a couple of deep passes. He has seemed a little off to me since he took that shot in the Mizzou game.

Wouldn’t even game plan a running attack this week. It is what it is.
Every 4A-6A school in Kansas makes the “playoffs”. There are only 32 teams in each classification, so it’ll end the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Teams will play their seasons and week 9 is seeded based on results. There will be a few 8-0 teams hosting 0-8 teams tonight.

8-man through 3A still play by the traditional playoff format. There are a lot more of those teams in the state.

re: Could you dunk?

I dunked about 4 or 5 times in warmups before intramural games out at McConnell a hundred years ago. Couldn’t ever make the stars align to throw one down in a game though. The last time I tried out there, I tore like 3 calluses off my hand and decided that was enough.
Our crew usually officiates a CVD game every year. They’re combined and they split their home schedule between Cedar Vale and Dexter. We had them in a blowout/halftime game earlier this year. Love officiating those 8-man games in SE Kansas.
My first duty assignment was McConnell AFB. There was a sewage lift station on base that had an in-line pH probe that we had to calibrate every so often.

We were called out by the water department from the civil engineering squadron on base to let us know that they were getting ready to pull and clean the probe, and asked us if we could calibrate.

I showed up before they did and watched pull the probe and it had a condom stuck on it. Fella from the water shop pulled the condom off of the probe with no gloves on. I offered him some gloves and said he didn’t need them. We stood around bs’ing while waiting on the probe to do its thing and I watched this dude reach into a pouch of Redman and grab himself a chew.

I almost lost it. I finished up calibrating it and watched him put that probe back in with no gloves again. I walked off before he had a chance to try to shake my hand.
The real question is who shite in Boz’s shoe… Anybody?
