No pecan pie?

Chess pie - like pecan but without crunchy roaches on top.

That is what makes it delish

You guys like some strange pies....

Whatever happened to traditionals, like Apple or Pumpkin?

Pumpkin Pie is for commies.

If JG at Wazzu plays even remotely competent the jinx is real. Wonder if HT at Bama will incur some bizarre penalty that will cost them a game.
I am tired of suckitude

Apparently JG was replaced during the game ... somebody learns faster than TN coaches. Maybe in one game JG has already lost his starting position at WA St.

Since we have been talking football lately- - - I have never mentioned I was once recruited by UT as a preferred walk on during the Johnny Majors era. I have several connections to players during the SEC championships era.

Btw, I declined.

Me, too. Big time. It's even easier to hate ND when you are my age or older. They got even better treatment from the press than biden if you can believe that. The press spent their sloppy seconds on the big10 and the pac.

They're still criminally overrated every year.

In the days before cable when schools were limited to one or two football appearances per year, it seemed ND was on every weekend.

And nowadays we have the privilege of watching every Tennessee game on TV.

Not sure how I feel about that.

I like it, but I'd like it a lot better if we'd been winning.

Yeah I think at some point it becomes self-flagellation.

That's really cool.

Are you comfortable sharing why you declined?

How big a boy are ye?

 

[Wireless1]

Damn. We will not score on Georgia this year.

The good news would be we only scored 3 less than Clemson

 

[hog88]

How big a boy are ye?

4’10” 365lbs

4’10” 365lbs

Is that laying down or standing up?

To make matters worse imo, was when ND signed a contract w/NBC Sports showing their football games. The media treates them like they're some kind of a "magical football team" that's still living in a Knute Rockne football world of the 1920s. Knute Rockne - Wikipedia

College football was different back then. It wasn't on every channel and wasn't as big as it is today. Looking back I don't think I truly understood the gravity of the opportunity. Recruiting was on a much smaller scale. Also, I was still going to have to pay for school, it was much further away and I didn't really see myself as that level of a player at the time so I chose a different route. There were several guys from my school on the team though.

Happy Labor Day to all of you that work & pay taxes & pay into my SS .....

Any regrets?

Yes and no. I would've liked to have played with some of my teammates and run through the T. I played some in college. I was going to end up in the real world regardless.
