In like 1958, Auburn held Tennessee to zero first downs.

AU 13 Vols 0



In 1980, they played in Auburn and the Tigers were dedicating their new Jordan Hare Stadium addition of 11,000 new seats, new press box and club-level seating. Publicists were billing it as the largest stadium in the state of Alabama, and it was a record crowd of 75,942.

It was only the 2nd time Tennessee played in Auburn, because they usually played the Auburn "Home Games" at Legion Field in Birmingham.

Auburn was ranked 18th in the AP and were 2-0, and Tennessee came in at 1-2 (losing to Georgia and USC and beating Washington State). Auburn fans threw oranges at the UT players as they came onto the field.

Auburn Tailback James Brooks would average 120 rushing yards per game and would go on to be a 1st round draft pick for the San Diego Chargers after the end of the season. Tennessee held him to 36 yards, and Tennessee would win 42-0.

Anyone who doubts the fans throwing oranges can watch around the 4 minute mark of the Youtube Video of the Johnny Majors show and you can see it.

Empire of the Sun is my favorite as well. I've probably seen Saving Private Ryan the most of any of them...and Raiders of the Lost Ark is a close 2nd...but Empire of the Sun is his best work in my opinion.

Tim Couch


For JaMarcus Russell, of all NFL Pass attempts made:

52% resulted in completions
2.6% resulted in touchdowns
3.4% resulted in interceptions
averaged 6.0 yards per pass attempt

For Tim Couch, of all NFL Pass attempts made:

60% resulted in completions
3.7% resulted in touchdowns
3.9% resulted in interceptions
Averaged 6.5 yards per pass attempt

That's pretty darn close in most categories.

When I first saw it, I really wanted to not like this post...but, the more I looked at it, the more accurate it felt. :cheers:

Brian Kelly lost 7 games across his first two seasons at LSU; DeBoer lost 8 games at Bama


I thought that maybe DeBoer coached several more games and that might have skewed the numbers. But...it turns out, that wasn't the case:

Brian Kelly's record for the first 2 years at LSU was 20-7 and 12-4 in conference.

DeBoer's record for his first 2 years at Bama was 20-8 and 12-4 in conference.

The way he cheated on Kelly, complete scumbag.

He was in character and got caught...so he was probably acting like a Sig Ep from UCLA, instead of the Sigma Chi from USC that he actually was.

Not sure how recent , but the pics I saw he was looking rough. Dude must've never use sunscreen.




I've seen interviews where he said he grew up in a family of lifeguards...I'm guessing he spent a lot of time on the beach and not enough time coating himself in high SPF protection.
Muldoon was also an undersized Tight End at USC and got 2 Rose Bowl rings when he was there. He said in interviews that being on the scout team lining up against Junior Seau convinced him that acting was probably going to be a better path for him than football.

Another interesting note...his sister married Frank Zappa's son.

Russia and China don't want Iran to have Nukes, either.
Anyone who actually knows Tim Burchett, knows that he was just messing with people.

Burchett quotes include:

On DC and Congress
"Everyone talks about this place being a dadgum swamp. It's not a swamp… This is a sewer. A swamp is something cool that God created, which filters water and supports animal life. This is a sewer—it's man-made and needs to stop".

"Congress has been using taxpayer money to enrich itself for years... This place is crooked as a dog's leg".

"US Congress members and federal employees should all be banned from stock trading. Reporting isn't enough... it's pathetic. I'm ticked off. Let's see if we have the guts to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks"

When asked by a guy on the street, "Do you trust Trump's security team to keep our war plans top secret?", he responded, "Do you trust your mother every night to fix your hot pockets and make sure your Gameboy is turned off?"

People much happier in New Jersey than Kentucky, Tennessee or Alabama.

How did she not smell the propane?


quote:

I've got to think that the lower explosive limit* of propane is far higher than the odor threshold.


The odor threshold for Ethyl Mercaptan is around 0.00035 ppm. The LEL of propane is 21,000 to 22,000 ppm. When monitoring for it, you typically set your detection limits to 10% of the LEL (around 2,100 ppm).

You should smell it long before you reach the LEL.
