Married at 22. First child at 27, 4th and last one at 37.

Couldn’t tell you if it was the “best” time but I’m glad we had those five years for me to get my career started. Wife was a teacher with a masters degree. She quit work when the first was born and was a SAHM for 15 years. Although her income would have helped it worked out fine.

Bama signed the worst coach from the PAC 22.


Well, this is objectively false. He was literally the best when Bama hired him.

It's being investigated currently. They're not going to jump ahead of the investigation. Obviously.


Whatever happened to prosecutors keeping their mouths shut while an investigation is ongoing? “It’s under investigation and we are in the process of buttoning up the case. I have nothing else to add. You’ll find out when we have news to announce.”
Great, but I still don’t understand why this administration goes on these stupid shows and telegraphs what we’re “going to do.” Shut the frick up and start charging people with crimes. I don’t want to hear shite until you do. frick!

What spring game?

This thread smells like mothballs.


My first game memory was in 1973 at Denny Stadium. I was 8. Bama beat Va Tech 77-6. Four Bama rushers had 100 yards each.

Let us old Bama baws reminisce, man!

That actually only happened because Mondale was FROM Minnesota. Still a valid point on the level of insanity there.


Not exactly. Minnesota also did not go for Reagan in 1980. It is the only state to not go for Reagan in BOTH of his elections.
I’ve never taken an official IQ test. I was in “gifted” classes as early as elementary school but I was just a good reader. Couldn’t do math for shite. Still can’t. As Garrison Keillor used to say of all the kids in Lake Wobegon on A Prairie Home Companion, I’m probably just “above average.”
Captain D’s for Alabama is bullshite. I don’t even know where one is near me . I don’t know anybody who eats there.
There was a small protest yesterday against ICE in Foley, AL, of all places. The videos showed it was mostly 50+ year old white folks, which leads me to believe they were mostly bussed in out-of-towners or northern liberal transplants trying to change the place they moved to into where they moved from. Baldwin County went 78% for Trump in 2024.

I get your point, though. Why Minnesota or Chicago or New York or Baltimore? They’re more liberal is all I can figure.
I’ve always thought this. I remember several years ago at the beginning, air raid sirens were going off but Zelenskyy and dignitaries were walking outside like nothing was happening. Looked like a cheap movie.

All the celebrities coming in to visit him IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR.

bullshite.

Not my state, but if you’re driving I-85 in Alabama south of Evergreen you might see a “Murder Creek” on a sign.

It’s actually named for murders that occurred at that creek, where a group of travelers to Pensacola was ambushed in 1788.


That would be I-65. I-85 ends in Montgomery.
It’s been liberal for a long time. Walter Mondale came from there. It was the only state to not go for Reagan in BOTH of his elections.
quote:

go get yourself some lunch"? That's totally nonsensical.


It’s like the saying “You better pack a lunch” when someone threatens you.

I don’t feel quite so bad now losing to Indiana the way we did. They’re the best team in the country.

Gotta love when a team can line up at the 3-yard line and run it up the gut three straight times and punch it in. Sigh.


Just texted a few friends from Bama how refreshing it is to see a team ram
It in from inside the 5 instead of running some bullshite trick play or slow developing jet sweep to a WR.


I know man. Gag me.

Bama hasn't done this in years.


Indeed, thus my post.

Truckers call the big recaps that fall off and lay in the road “gators.”

Yes, for the capture operation. It happened in a couple of hours. NOW begins the job of elections and forming a freely elected government. Of course we’re getting the oil also. Can’t do that in an afternoon.
