Your favorite memories of pig, aggy and the other SEC garbage
January 1, 1982. I had just completed my first semester in law school and was visiting my parents who at that time, lived in Huntington Beach, California. My idiot older sister lived out there and had married a sculptor, artist, stoner. (He did some work on the movie, "The Thing" was just released in 1982). 6th ranked Texas is playing 3rd ranked Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. That 1:00 p.m. start in Texas meant 11:00 a.m. Left Coast Time. Soooo, I start pounding Bloody Marys (Maries?) around 10:00. Game starts. Idoit sister's (now ex) husband comes staggering into the room in the second quarter. Willie (yes, his true name) says, "So, Steve, so like, what are you about man?" I remember slowing looking up at him and in an exaggerated drawl say, "Well, Willie, I'm about to start my 3rd Bloody Mary and then watch the rest of this fucking game. Wanna join me?" His blood shot eyes open wider, he mumbles something and stumbles out of the room. I watched out Horns come back in the 4th to beat the Bear Bryant lead Bama team. (But for that horrific loss against Arkansuck earlier in the year, we probably would have won the MNC that year)

For the younglings who were not around or too young to remember 1990 ... Arkansas' last appearance at DKR. The Show band of the Southwest expressed their view on Arkansas jumping ship to the SEC pretty damned well ...

Realignment talk not going away
The realization that is dawning on many seems to be that when aggy joined the SEC, the overwhelming noise being spewed forth was that the move "made" aggy. Now, aggy was going to be able to compete! It completed them. With Texas going to the SEC, the talking points seem to universally be that the move is going to help the SEC in an incredible way so much so that the SEC now has the ability to perhaps leave the NCAA. Now, the SEC will be able to completely impose its will on college athletics. A college power broker is the institution that "Makes" a conference into an incredibly greater force. Not vice versa.

So, anything to the rumor that aggy plans to filibuster when the votes are taken to try to prevent it from happening? Supposedly they are looking for Wendy Davis' sneakers and soiled underwear she wore during her 11 hour filibuster 8 years ago. Poor aggy

I know the F1 Vets on here have probably dissected the changes going into the 2022 cars. But, this recent clip on Youtube does a pretty good job of explaining them to the man on the street.

Class of 2022 QB Talk
I'll pass on the pussy who doesn't have the confidence in himself to think, "I'm going to elevate this historic program to heights not seen before. I am going to bust my ass off to get people to come to Texas knowing they are going to build a monster." The kid wants to be part of a winning team? Great, good for him. Knock yourself out. But, give me the kid with the brains, the balls, the will to win and the courage and confidence to know that THAT is exactly what he is going to do. Be a Legend at Texas or just another good quarterback at Bucknuts.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
For some reason, the Devil's Page and aggy seem to be inextricably intertwined. In fact, Baphomet was an evil deity. Notice the Goat's head. Now, aggy, as we all know, lust after sheep, bringing a background of truth to the old joke, "How do you know you are getting close to aggyland? The sheep start backing up toward the fenceline." So, sheep, goats, Devil's Page and aggy.... Like Forrest and Jenny the Slut.

It looks a little bit like the 1972 Samsonite Special run by the Parnelli Jones team. Check website: https://www.conceptcarz.com/z28446/parnelli-vpj-1.aspx

CFP expansion discussion
There is no dispute that the Mouse Network is the most powerful media organization in college football. December 2020 it was announced the Mouse is taking the SEC away from CBS and will be its exclusive media partner. The Mouse is on the hook for $3 BILLION over 10 years. https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/sec-espn-abc-football-tv-rights-cbs The Mouse isn't going to just give $300 MILLION EVERY YEAR to the Sister Eating Conference. They are going to make up all of $ and more through corporate sponsorships, commercials, etc. But, they have to insure a good product that the corporate big boys will stay interested in and know that millions of eyeballs are being trained on the product. So, you keep your candy ass scheduling, schedule the Sisters of the Poor in November, get at least 2 teams in the expanded playoffs every year. The Mouse is so powerful that it controls the narrative and frames the issues it wants. It doesn't have to be fair and equitable. It is in the Mouse Networks's best interest, and in the best interest of the Sister Eating Conference NOT to be even handed. And that contract is on top of the other contract the Mouse and the Sister Eating Conference has covering events in men's and women's basketball, baseball and softball. It also does not include the SEC Network. All o those bring in additional revenue. And .. profit.

That is just all sorts of greatness. You need to write a book about your Missus. It would be epic.

I am lurving Doom's Evil Punkin. I went in an opposite direction, Christmasy-Angelic as it were. Turned them into Christmas decorations out front. The paint preserved them nicely.

2021 PGA Championship
I'm thinking that perhaps Phil was humanized quite a bit when his wife got breast cancer in 2009. The realization of the mortality of a loved one goes a long way in helping one find their soul.

Formula 1 2021
Wood or Anton or any other experts, How significant would the change be if Hamilton and Verstappen switched cars, i.e., Hamilton becomes Red Bull's Number 1? Or, would it be more significant if the Red Bull brain trust, pit crew, etc were forced to switch with Mercedes? Am curious as to which has the greatest impact, Hamilton's driving and strategy, the quality of the Silver Arrow, or the expertise and acumen of the German brain trust.

Jake Ehlinger found dead near campus
I have been a bit hesitant to post anything else in this thread because it is solely about the Ehlinger family. But ... Reading the outpouring of love and support in this thread, and having to live the horror of having a child taken, the inspiration comes in the most unusual ways. Today, I was scheduled to give about a 30 minute presentation on mental health/eating disorders and the legal community. (My daughter died from eating disorders after fighting it for 7 years ... and before you say, what the fuck?... eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses [only behind opioid addiction] with one person dying every 52 minutes]). The presentation is going to be shown during an international conference in June. I admit that there was a certain ... "emotion" missing from it. And then, I began to think of Jake's mom, what she surely must be feeling, that is if she is feeling anything yet, and in the midst of my despair and flashbacks to my pain, for some reason, I found new strength and resolve. Good God, what that incredible mother is going through right now is inconceivable! It filled me with greater resolve ... and purpose. And maybe.. . just maybe, My words will touch others. Jake's mom will never know about this. But one day, I hope she feels it ... she feels in her heart, that she and her beloved son, made a difference. That she and her son saved lives in the most unexpected ways. No words for her ... other than, she is not alone. I now know of so many other moms and dads who had a child ripped from their loving arms. But, from the senseless... if we can find reason. If we can save even one life...
