RIH Dead Scumbag, nice to hear from you. I’ve missed you like I miss the scours. How’s the home construction business?

I grew up listening to the Great White Hunter and get a kick out of his classics. I agree with him about the Second Amendment, but I find his childish approach to the politics and problems of our native state to be unhelpful at best. (I left Michigan as an economic refugee. He left because his campaign for governor turned into a joke.)

Why can’t you get it through your head that I didn’t go to Medill? Most NU grads don’t, but I wouldn’t expect a graduate of Wallace State to know that. Hell, I’m impressed when you spell “school” without a k.

In short: Ted’s music is good, his attitude sucks, I didn’t study journalism at Northwestern, and I think you’re a bad joke.

Since Wisconsin accepted the Outback bid, if LSU loses to Tennessee, they’ll probably play against Michigan in the Capital One Bowl, because Illinois goes to the BCS and they don’t get Zooker vs. Florida.

That would be some fine drama. If Miles doesn’t become coach and LSU loses to UM. Florida would ass rape Michigan but a healthy Michigan squad could compete with LSU’s speed. Matchups.

If LSU were to lose the SECCG and the bowl game (that would be 3 in a row), how much would Macy Grace hate her Daddy then? Would she even be first in line to talk to him after the game? I believe he would/should be fired by LSU and UM would not be hiring him either, unless it was to shovel snow from the parking lot.

That youtube video leaves the door wide open for CU version of Yentl and I expect it to have the same mass appeal as the movie.

Just finished listening to Nutt’s press conference at Ole Miss…looks like it’s going to take a while (and some serious brainwashing/waterboarding) to get him out of “Razorback mode” and into “Rebel mode.” He doesn’t even know the whole “Hotty Toddy” cheer.

To the Boss Cane’s credit… all of those player have received their degrees (would be 5th year seniors, or just early graduates)… he just doesn’t want crap player taking up scholis so they can put a free year towards a masters (or getting drunk at Sandbar in Coconut Grove)

Was that a cart full of warm, sweet donuts behind Fulmer?

hell- i slept with a woman that looked like Shrek for Iron Bowl tickets. If you want ‘em, just go out and get ‘em. You don’t need to be a congressman or councilman or anything like that, just desperate enough.

@46 I figured as much. The pile of pork chop sandwiches slathered in cheese and wrapped in roast beef he had for lunch confused me just a bit.

Ugas-

Alabama politics at it’s best, worst, and usual.

I noticed the no committee thing too when I looked the guy up. I have no idea what he went to Bama for, he’s got about 6 different schools listed.

Regardless of where he went to school, I haven’t heard many positive things about the guy, and this current situation is laughable at best, but more sad than anything. And the rest of the nation sits back and thinks, “Yep. That’s about right.”

Hey Tater: if the guy is so worried about how young people are treated at Alabama’s colleges and universities, then perhaps he should get on the House Education committee? As far as I can tell, he’s a member with NO committee assignments. Perhaps if he were involved in appropriations of some sort, folks at AU would pay more attention???

Or is this all because he went to Bama?
