Please. The way some of these guys type and spell words, you give them far too much credit.

If this is the case, which it's not, then it's a pretty fricking stupid joke to make.

It was Bear Bryant's wife who started the joke, so we are just copying
ETA: I can't believe no one liked my story.

I probably pronounce it more like 9 ta 6 if I were to ever say the time like that

Damn. Maybe I enunciate the word "'til" too much.

Actually, you are wrong about this...while saying "nine 'til 6" is a somewhat accepted way of saying it, "9 to 6" is actually what they teach in second grade. Here's a little assistance for you non-English speakers:
Basic English: How to tell time.
C'mon...it's one thing to call the joke dumb, but to insist that it is dumb because it's premiss is an incorrect pronunciation...
...Do your homework and make sure it's actually wrong. "9 'til 6" is the far more illiterate way of saying it. Scroll down a little on the link and you'll see that "nine to six" is a "traditional form," and "nine 'til six" is the bastardization that doesn't even make it into textbooks.

On a side note remember at the beginning of the season when you said LSU would go 8-4. Yea that was pretty stupid

i guess i've been in and around the army too long...9 minutes to 6 to me equals 1751....
i was thinking it was a point in the fourth quarter where the LSU defense started to take over...

5:51 is obvious once you get it, but I don't think failing to get it right off the bat makes you unintelligent.
Why can't we just laugh at the clever little joke? Why does it have to be an IQ pissing contest for you?

Damn, guess I learned something new. I'll nut up and say I got pwned I guess.

Find it. I believe I said 8-4 wouldn't surprise me (and with the schedule at the beginning of the year most people were not disagreeing with that).
I said I'd be happy with 9-3 and thrilled with 10-2. I don't think anybody here seriously thought this season was coming.

Only 2 of the guys on The Big Bang Theory thought this was funny

In regards to the Bama/LSU game?
Personally I like 9:26 better
