“First half was NC State with Russel Wilson, second half was NC State without�”

Live by the QB scramble, die by the QB scramble. Wilson got hurt at the end of a long run. That’s a risk you take.

First half was Rutgers trying to figure it out, but the second half, they decided to be Champions.

This movie had a wonderful ending! 29-23! 7 straight wins to go 8-5! That’s a dazzling array of boo-yah.

But wait, Larry Langford wants to build a dome!

There’s a story in the News today about how the city council felt left out of the process. It actually made me feel bad for Larry, who came across as probably the most sensible person around. That’s Birmingham government for you.

Why do I get the feeling that Legion Field is nothing more than a slightly smaller Orange Bowl?

Papa John’s won’t deliver a pizza to the Legion Field parking lot because of the neighborhood. The last time I was around 5 Points, 2 “youths” with pistols jumped out of the car in front of me and began shooting at a house. I made a phone call from a public phone and counted 9 bullet holes in the phone booth. Another 20 years and only Snake Pleskin will volunteer to go in…

Rutgers is, and will always be, in my mind,
“My New Haircut”….the “WheresmyfreakinproteinMa.com Bowl”…or anyother cliche Jersey thing, aka The Sopranos….closest movie to this would be
“My Cousin Vinnie” where the New York/Jersey meets Alabama……….or that can be used for
Alabama vs Utah…..”Da two Utes will be dead by the half”
and, we dont bring babies to the bar in Alabama. That is Auburn, which is actually part of Mississippi now.

Legion Field is the worst 40,000+ seat stadium on the planet. I’d imagine the soccer field in Guadalajara, Mexico has better amenities, nicer surroundings, better food.

That being said, I spent quite a few Saturday mornings tailgating in locals’ yards where the food was free and you could count on your car being “looked after” while you were gone.

Gah. In its day it was paradise. Day’s over. Hell, the Tired Texan has been closed for a decade. Have done with it, build a cozy little 40,000 seater for UAB, and let’s call it a day.

I give this movie 2 thumbs up.

I really developed an appreciation for how ragged Legion Field’ s *condemned* Upper Deck is/was while standing underneath it yelling…..

“WE. WANT. BARKER.”
(clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)
“WE. WANT. BARKER.”

…..at an XFL game*. Yeahcomeon.

*No. My youth wasn’t wasted.

Disconcerting, unnatural stuff:

Velveeta, current Madonna, sea cucumbers, diet Mountain Dew, smiling Tom O’Brien.

About 2 hours before kickoff and looks like there are still tickets in every section of the stadium available.

Can’t believe this isn’t sold out.

Wait, yes I can….

Web site incase you want to just buy a tic to keep the bowl game alive.

“tommy, get your torch”: I always assumed this was how things were done in Alabama.

There were definitely times at games that I wished Legion Field would collapse. Especially if it took Mike Dubose with me. I was always pretty sure my car got stolen before half-time anyway.
