Is this outfit based out of Summerdale, AL? They also do pile driving and coffer dam work along with other marine type work. If it is the same outfit, we have used them in the past. Did this guy just buy Honey Brake recently? I don't think he is part of their actual operations team.

That's funny, have an upvote.

However, you can generally confirm for the most part what is going in the bag if read the ticket when they give it to you before you leave. CFA about 50% of the time will give me regular nuggets when I order the grilled ones even though I say it loud and have them repeat my order to me. It is like some natural tendency to just place type fried nuggets into their order system.

So would AJ but I think even AJ will admit that Keelon brings way more to the table than he did. AJ was also a product of a great OL, WR group, and a stud RB backfield that helped free up play action. My pedestal will always have Bryce, AJ, and Namath at the top with a Ty Simpson what could of been if not for getting hurt last year as an asterisk.

He actually is a pretty good dude. He trains at our sister BJJ school in Austin. I keep up with them on IG and saw he was instructing a class not long ago so damn this is kinda shocking that he got spun up and went to the Congo.

I knew he played the fiddle because I heard Charlie Daniels say he was a pretty damn good fiddle player (pun kinda intended). On his guitar playing, I am not saying his skills are Eddie Van Halen level but he is up there and nobody really talks about Hank Jr. being an elite guitar player.

Hank Jr. is probably one of the most underrated guitar players in the industry and in his prime he was doing it drunk.

I can only imagine Cash, Waylon, and Hank Jr. on a tour together. Hank Jr. actually sang a song about it. All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down.

My cousin and his former wife from Oak Ridge were good friends and she met Hank Jr a bunch. He used to duck hunt there a lot.

Outside of Saban, no other coach since Bryant had the fanbase behind him like Fran did.


You forget we had Gene Stallings?

Back to Fran, yeah the fans actually supported him. Maybe to much. I think what overwhelmed Fran was the level of scrutiny you get as the HC at Bama and it is relentless. Probably why Saban never appeared in public. Fran would get bombarded just going to Wal Mart in T-town. Then the sanctions, but I honestly felt that crutch was kinda overblown. Did Mal keep some things from him, maybe, but it was no secret we were gonna get hammered. Plus, he would have walked on broken glass to get back to Texas and the A&M position was his dream job. It was a perfect storm with Slocum stepping down and Dennis having credibility having a probation Bama team pull off a10 win season on top of his previous connections at Texas State and TCU. Dream job and not having to deal with nutcase Bama fans. How could he lose lol?
Had a regular F150 with it as well as a Raptor. Cam phasers and timing chains killed both right after 100K. That’s the sweet spot for getting rid of one with the 3.5.
I was there. Night game. Cold as piss. In true corndog fashion they started leaving at half time even though still in it. Upgraded seats accordingly. Looked like a Bama home game at the end.

That ‘02 team was legit. I really loved Bama’s offense then. fRan ran the option a lot and Tyler Watts operated it to perfection. That dude was tough as nails. Nasty O and D lines on that team with a bunch of future NFL guys. That win would be the last time Bama would win for like 5 years.

I remember the team gutting out tough wins over Texas.


I kinda lost track of him after he left Bama but I would hear bits and pieces about him since I live in Houston and know a bunch of Aggies. That 77-0 beating to OU was a nice touch by the Sooners. I think he got his hand slapped as well because he was floating an insider newsletter for pay giving injury updates and stuff while he was there.

Otherwise RIP Fran.

I was at that game in DV when Bama put it on Saban’s LSU team in ‘02. It was a night game and we were in the nosebleeds and it was miserably cold and up there, very windy. I remember it wasn’t exactly out of reach at halftime but LSU fans on que piled out in droves so we upgraded seats into the Bama section. It was one of the more satisfying beatings of LSU considering we were about to enter a 5 year drought of losing to them while the program wandered around in the desert under Shula.

I often wonder if fRan ever pondered what could have been had he stayed at Bama after watching Saban build an empire there. Granted Shula was in that gap before Saban but everyone knew he was a fill in until probation was over. Although Dennis had the most nasal sounding voice I have ever heard, I think we resonated well with fans and he won some games and was competitive in the games we were supposed to lose (Georgia and Oklahoma in ‘02). I also really liked his DC, Karl Torbish. He recruited well and Bama really well. He pulled in Brodie Croyle who I thought was going out of state and the players really liked him. They had a really strong S&C program and would have a Night of Champions night in the Spring where the players all competed in various lifts. I remember Double J and Evan Mathis both getting up to something like 800 on the squat.

Yeah talk about unfair coach swaps. Aggie gets fRan and we got Bryant but Coach was a former Bama player. I remember distinctly when Dennis let go of the rope. It was right after the ‘02 Iron Bowl that Bama lost with probably one of the best teams we had since maybe ‘99. There were some studs on that team and is probably my favorite team to suit up at Bama despite the coach. Some said he didn’t prepare for that game at all just to tank it so Bama fans would actually want him gone. Who knows but him but it was right before probation was about to really sink in which is what Dennis informally blamed his hasty departure on, but everyone knew the Aggie job was his holy grail. I remember he left on an A&M jet to interview for the job and Paul Bryant Jr. told him if he left, not to come back.
