    It should be a very exciting weekend. Hoping everybody is civil.

    Gig ‘Em Ags!!

  2. Jay Guin says:

    Nancy,

    “Gig ’em”? I thought that was another team altogether. Hoping that the poor Alabama players would be gigged (I know what the word means) doesn’t seem civil at all. Which is quite okay because half the fun of college football is trash talking. Even if it does mean wishing that Alabama be impaled on a frog gig.

    How ’bout FARMERS FIGHT!

    I’m am Aggie and I feel like I need to root for the Aggies, but I’ll admit that they have consistently disappointed me over the years so I’m not overly optimistic. You’ll have fun but steer clear of the boys carrying the swords though just in case. Go early so that you can watch the corp march into the stadium.

    My Longhorns are off to a rocky start…it could be a long season for me. 🙁

    It’ll be interesting to see who survives the west to play Georgia.. Go Dawgs !! I will pray that your line at the men’s room is short…

    Headline in College Station paper on Sunday: “Aggies Hang 42 Points On Defending Champs With Second-Half Comeback; Nearly-Vanquished Coach Saban Praises Johnny Football”

    Headline in Tuscaloosa paper is still undergoing spell-check.

    Meanwhile, University of Texas officials have filed a missing persons report on the Longhorn defense. Said a Texas Ranger spokesman: “They had been experimenting with this ‘tackle-free’ defensive scheme for a while, which seemed a bit suspicious to the neighbors, but we have no direct evidence connecting this strange behavior with the most recent disappearance.”

    Well Jay I assume you led the crowd in the taunting the opponent with “Rammer Jammer Yellowhammer…”

    Ha always enjoy watching my Christian brothers and sisters pretneding not to taunt along 🙂

  7. oneinjesus says:

    Randall,

    I consider Rammer Jammer to reflect poor sportsmanship and I refuse to participate. Ever.
    Except in ’92 against Miami. You had to be there.

  8. oneinjesus says:

    Charles,

    My deepest sympathies to Texas fans. I’ve always liked Texas — and I’ve been where they are, and know how they feel.

  9. oneinjesus says:

    Price,

    Longest line to a men’s room I’ve ever seen anywhere. Stadium really needs to be torn down and rebuilt now that A&M has joined the major leagues (which is exactly what they are going to do).

  10. Charles McLean says:

    Jay, could it be that SEC folks simply require more per-capita restroom capacity– trailing only, perhaps, the folks in the state legislature? 😉

    As to Miami, you had to be there, indeed. For Texans, it was the 1991 Cotton Bowl. During that era at Miami, an “F” on the roster did not stand for “freshman”, it stood for “felon”…

    Nancy,

    Sorry about Texas. Losing to Ole Miss? Seriously …

    Ole Miss is a greatly improved team, played us hard last year, but Texas has no business getting beat by them.

    Aggies, however, played a great game and are going to win a bunch. We might even meet them in the BCS.

  12. Charles McLean says:

    Maybe they could change the line in the song to “Give ’em total annihilation, Alabama!” Just a thought…

  13. laymond says:

    Charles, are you insinuating that rabid sports fans publically exhibit all seven deadly sins.
    wrath, — “Hurt that sucker, stop him”
    greed, — “I want another championship, please lord”
    sloth, —Setting on butt cheering for those working.
    pride, — bragging on “my team”
    lust, — “Just ten more yards, please”
    envy, “Man I wish we had three championship in a row”
    gluttony. — “Score a hundred points on those bums”

  14. oneinjesus says:

    Charles,

    I was thinking more along the lines of “We just beat the perpetual conscious torment out of you!” You know, so that no one might think we Alabama fans are unclear on these things.
