Uhhh, what?

Somewhere there are sportwriters going hungry while we squander the productivity of a nation pursuing the one clever line that will raise the huzzahs of our recalcitrant footamaball bretheren (and sisteren). Would that such creative forces be put to good use for the betterment of all mankind. Instead, we are inundated with all manner of figurative bruises to the brain by those who think as we think, those who don’t think as we think and those who think they think, but don’t. Your humble submitter readily concedes there is every possiblity (probability) that when the last whistle blows, the big stripped shirt in the sky will determine the latter applies hereto.

That being said, one must observe that it is these heady days of summer, when all things are possible and the season’s slate is pristine, that nourish the joys of irrational fandom (admittedly a redundant term) and lead to the writing of checks one’s ass can often not cash. All who follow this perilous path long for those salutory Saturdays when loyalty is rewarded with victory and the sweetness becomes immeasurable as a future foe meets with an ignominious demise. Yet, history being a constant reminder, our traveler assuredly knows the bottomless pits of pain and remorse are possibly but a week away – the shoe placed squarely on the other foot, or strategically located up the other ass.

And so it goes. We are the same, but different. We generalize and classify and predict and excuse and fervently long for the next dose, hooked as surely as a cocaine cowboy. As addictions go, it can fairly be said there are much worse things one can do to negatively affect the GNP. For those who don’t, or won’t, understand, no amount of explanation will alter their sad confusion. For those caught in the grip, let the huzzahs begin.

Rashard Johnson did not draw praise from the Tuscaloosa PD, especially when they arrested him

How will the clemson game be a shootout? Bama has no one to run between the tackles and lost their best two WR.

Crimson and Margaritavile? You’re not even trying, Roll Bama Roll (if that’s EVEN YOUR REAL NAME). Go on, now, and come back when you’ve photoshopped every Shula into Woman Going Crazy On Caroline Street.

8/30 vs Clemson (Atlanta): We�re finally stepping up the OOC scheduling again, and it couldn�t have come at a worse time. Two of the best backs in the country against a young and inexperienced front seven. Could be a blow out.

I think the more appropriate Buffett song would be track 6 on every one of his albums. (there you go #12)

So you see the Tide as the subject of Isaiah 1? Glad to know I’m not the only one…

How is the faithful Tide become a harlot! it was full of glory; tradition lodged in it; but now murderers. Thy trophies are become dross, thy bourbon mixed with water: Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after the respect of BCS voters
(HT: Isa 1:21-23)

12 – it’s sad, we can’t even get an AU-Bama threadjack on a thread about either team any more, even with softballs.

There is a shot on Mack Brown having Major Applewhite coaghing his RB’s…I would like to point out that it is widely known amongst Texas fans that one of the major issues between Saban and Applewhite (excluding Saban being a controlling asswipe) is that he DID NOT allow Major, his OC, to call his own plays.

Kudos to Todd, who’ll shine through when classic European history is needed as a literary comparison for big-time fried sports.

Good to see the always even-handed analysis from RTR

Google ads is telling us that we, too, can buy Daniel Moore prints via the Internet.

While I would argue the Jay Barker print is beyond superfluous as well, FCA hero be damned, what in God’s name is Andrew Zow doing on one of those prints?

Who is buying that one, besides Zow’s mother?
