Just curious, on the SASWiki page for the Fulmer Cup, it still shows the “concealed weapon” charge, but that was dropped. Was there a ruling on that/Is that still reflected in the point total?

1.) Bisher and Barnhart leaving actually balances out… too bad there’s nothing left behind (well, it’s not that bad, I mean, even Atlantans don’t read the AJC)

2.) I noticed in a story on John Mark that he lived to be 46… they originally told Coach Stallings that he’d only make it to 25. I’m sure there’s something we should all learn from a kid who could be that happy just to be at a game during as bad a stretch as the last 10 years have been in Tuscaloosa. I’m not wise enough to figure out what that is, though.

3.) While we’re talking about Atlanta and Death, Skip Carey passed in his sleep last night. Dammit.

4.) While we’re talking about Alabama and Death, Coach Pepper, the former PA Announcer at Bryant-Denny and Legion Field (and unofficial Voice-Of-God) is in renal failure at UAB Medical Center and isn’t expected to leave

5.) It was a lousy weekend.

Condolences to the Stalling family and Alabama Nation. Though a life-long Tiger fan, I always had the utmost respect for Gene Stallings, and from what I heard, his son was a very special person who touched the lives of everyone he met.

Orson:

Not sure if you’ve heard, but John Mark Stallings, the biggest Alabama fan who ever lived, passed away on Saturday. Didn’t know if you’d want to mention it or not.

Being from Nebraska, I would like to point out polka unfortunately is still alive. A few Xmas ago I was back from college, and my parents took me to a bar that used to have the best steak in the area. Well, apparently friday nights there became Polka and Fish night. My parents, in their 50’s, we the youngest people in there (myself excluded). It was the worst fish I ever ate. Just imagine that Bo Pelini song going on for 45 minutes, and expecting mouthwatering prime rib, and you get flounder instead.

Moral of the Story, never drive to the boonies to eat at a great restaurant, the great one could have been replaced by a polka loving owner.

Sorry if I’m late to the party on this one, but has anyone else noticed that the line at the bottom of the index says “Every Morn Oughtn’t be Satur-Day Morn, Dot-Com”? Shouldn’t it be “Ought be,” not “oughtn’t”?

I’m not saying, I’m just saying.

Georgia’s not France this year. They’re Portugal.

-outrageous accent
-highly regarded for moderate past successes
-incredibly talented yet barely tolerable central figure
-lots of midfield play with incredible difficulty scoring inside seven yards
-cult-of-personality coach

That sounds disturbingly like John Cleese as the Frenchman on the castle wall in Monty Pythons’ “The Holy Grail.”

Though strangely, it seems to fit: the outrageous accent, the vaguely irritating yet confusing taunting (after the previous string of UF victories in Jax), the frustration of the divinely chosen (King Arthur, Tim Tebow), etc.

Is Georgia the France of the SEC?

From Rudy Carpenter’s bio on the ASU site…he enjoys playing basketball and collecting shoes

The new Georgia fight song should be the last verse of The Traditional Irish Folk Song by (ick) Denis Leary:

We drink and we sing and we drink and we sing, hey!
We drink and we drive and we puke and we drink, hey!
We drink and we fight and we bleed and we cry, hey!
We puke and we smoke and we drink and we die, hey!

I heard the dawgs started jumping on the dance floor to show off after their bar fight victory and the rest of the bar patrons mistook their celebration for a scene from the movie, “Stomp the Yard”.

The Dawgs scoff at Florida’s so-called “#1 party school” designation.

If you need a fake name when checking into a hotel, you could do a lot worse than “Billy Dee Williams.” Just make sure you remember Rule #1.
