Debatable. He was a great running back in college though.


People need to stop claiming he was a Quarterback. He wasn't. He was a running back who could throw the ball at a slightly above average level (especially if compared to all other running backs).

The second time he played LSU, he threw for 109 yards. He ran for 185 yards and 4 TDs. The year before he ran for 155 and 4 TDs,

8 TDs against LSU, all rushing. Not a single passing TD.

His Senior year at Bama he finished with 16 passing TDs, and 20 rushing.


But the one thing that lets us know that he's not a Quarterback is What happened against MIchigan in the playoffs. With your entire season depending on a single play, the coach's didn't call a pass play for their "quarterback", they called a run play for their "quarterback". They had more faith in his running ability than his passing ability.

Community light roast and in-between roast are very good.


And the Caramel flavor is phenomenal. I'm not a flavored coffee guy, but my girlfriend introduced me to it and I'm finding myself brewing that most mornings these days. Makes great iced coffee.


One that caught my eye last time I was at the store is the cinnamon bun flavor they have. Gonna buy some Friday to test out.

Well that probably did move people to theaters, but movies also ran for a long time in theaters. Obviously no home media option until really 80s, outside of airing on broadcast TV starting in maybe 50s.

Internet says initial theatrical run was 185 days, but then it was released again in the following years

1942
1947
1954
1961
1967 (70mm version)
1971
1989 (50th anniversary restoration)
1998 (restored theatrical release)

So that's where James Cameron learned it from.


Big difference though is that his movies have long theatrical runs, and numerous re-releases, but they also premier in thousands of theaters, whereas GTWW only ran in 37 theaters in it's 1941 run. And that was it's wide-release.

1940 it had only roadshow engagements at the price of $1 a ticket, double the normal price of movie tickets. The prices were lowered to the standard 50 cents for the wide release.

Aggies? Big brother went before you and they just joined

Mizzou's been twice. Arky and South Carolina have both been numerous times. Oklahoma is only two seasons in. I believe in them going before Aggy.


Aggy and Ole Miss are the only two out of the former West Division to never go.

Even State has gone.


Both probably missed their window to go: Ole Miss lost Lane, and Aggy lost that baby-soft schedule they propped themselves up with last season.

Funny but petty, it’s best to let it go and let the new news take over

Y'all printed souvenir cups because you finally won a game vs LSU in 7 OTs after multiple terrible calls by the refs.


And the best part? You didn't print them to use for one game against LSU. Y'all served them the entire season against teams that weren't LSU, in a season where you didn't even play LSU at home, to celebrate a win


Now, what were you saying about being petty?

The Fat Electrician did an episode on the history of Air Conditioning and he says that you can make the argument that Air Conditioning is responsible for the rise of the movie industry and Hollywood because movie theaters were one of the first industries to adopt the air conditioner. People didn't go to the movies because they wanted to watch the films, they went because they could sit in the air conditioning for 2 hours and get out of the heat (which could be a correlation to the Summer blockbuster season, as that's the time of year that hollywood would sell the most tickets, and Hollywood is an industry resistant to change).



Now, taking that into consideration: if people were willing to buy tickets to sit in the A/C for two hours, then how tempting would it be to buy a ticket for a 4 hour movie and be able to get out of the summer heat for the duration of the hottest part of the day? We know that people bought tickets to see GWTW multiple times to garner such high sells, and this is probably the most likely explanation for doing so.



Just something that crossed my mind while watching his video.


If you haven't seen it, or don't know who he is, then here it is. I suggest watching his back catalog, as he is one of the most entertaining story tellers when it comes to history and historical figures.
