Same, but the score wasn't indicative of the game. Tyler Wilson came in and could not be stopped until he threw a pick late after throwing for over 300 and 4 tds.
reminded me of another game i was privileged to see at J-H, 1985 FSU - real shootout that a couple of late defensive scores turned into a rout

damn, we could score points back in the day, wtf happened?

Shades of Tyler what’s-his-name from Arkansas some years back when their big stud QB starter got hurt and the other kid threw for like 350+
i was at that game

we won by 3 TDs :dunno:

Hope all is well, and absolutely love the hiring of Golish. He's a good one.
i think so too, we’re gonna take some lumps this year but i think he’s the right guy for the job

hope you’re doing great, not too many of the old crew still around

whats up old man :cheers:

Bama was always gonna win this one, figured State would keep it close for at least 3 quarters - but when Bothwell went out it pretty much went as expected
one of my favorite moments in the series: 1988, Cheattom vs Cobb

dunno, but last night the lead guitarist revealed that whenever he sees one of those Amazon devices he says “Alexa, play ‘Hocus Pocus’ by Focus” :lol:

Train Train was HUGE among 14 yr olds in Alabama when it came out.
have a sad/funny story about that song

in my highschool days in Baldwin Co. AL, i played with a guy named Robbie, he was in the class behind me - we were pretty close, used to do a lot of underage drinking

about my senior year, my musical tastes drifted more towards punk/new wave, while he stuck with southern rock

although he had the attitude, he never was much of a guitarist, just didn’t have the chops - but he could play a pretty mean harmonica, so much so he ended up getting a spot in a southern rock band that was just starting out

they got a big gig at a music festival in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, he was really pumped about it - he was gonna be featured in their cover of “Train, Train”

i missed seeing their performance, but a friend of my brother’s was there and I asked him how it went

he shook his head sadly and said, “man, it was going great, the band sounded awesome, the crowd was digging it - then, when they played “Train, Train”, Robbie stepped up to the mic for his big solo - and as he blew his first note, his harmonica fell completely apart. It was awful, poor bastard stood there in shock.”

the odds of a harmonica going into rapid spontaneous disassembly are infinitesimally small - but on that day, i learned that its still a nonzero probability event

Name My Band

starting a new project tonight, getting together with two guitarists with whom i’ve been playing in two different bands, will be joined by the drummer from my college days

playing mostly early 80s power pop/punk with a few British invasion tunes and some 90s alt rock for good measure, also a couple of originals in a similar vein thrown in as well

open to any and all suggestions, just want something that isn’t already being used, and preferably not insulting (so The Miserable Old fricking Wankers is right out, as the kids say)

have at it, if we end up using one you suggest i’ll buy all your drinks (if you show up to our gig)

Gus, with Sexton bent Auburn over a barrel by throwing out rumors that Gus was leaving AU for the Arkansas. Then Gus rattles off B2B wins vs #1's and AU was hot commodity, so Gus stuck it to Leath & Greene and got a 7yr/$49million guaranteed contract.... all approved by the AU BOT.
not 100% accurate bit pretty close

Jacobs was still AD but a shorttimer when the “negotiations” went down, it was all Leath’s decision

my best AU buddy lives in Iowa and knows some big time ISU boosters - they were absolutely giddy when AU took Leath off their hands, apparently with good reason

in the end, however, giving Malzahn the sweetheart deal was probably the better option, because i firmly believe that if AU had let him walk, Sexton would have convinced Leath to hire this guy



i agree that AG gets a bad rap, i thought he did pretty well considering the hand he was dealt, and i think he would have preferred to keep Gustav another year, which probably would’ve been the prudent thing to do

Sounds like the Administration and IT dept dropped the ball by not cutting his access the second he was fired
more likely is he saw that Golesh & co were less likely to let things slide than the previous regime (big shock there) and figured he was probably gonna get cut sooner rather than later, so he downloaded all the info before he called in sick that day

i mean, come on - saying you cant work a recruiting event, then showing up drunk AT THE SAME EVENT? dude knew he was getting fired, so he already had his “insurance policy” beforehand
