For some inexplicable reason, on Christmas day, the Longhorn Network will devote five commercial-free hours to a broadcast of Bevo meandering around his ranch.
Though I’d rather watch that than five hours of The Paul Finebaum Show.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

I be watchin the Yule Log on TV instead. I wouldn’t even watch Uga for 4 hours. Maybe 3, but you know what he be doing most of the time, and the punch line is “that dog will bite you.” Now if they put Uga in there with Bevo, now that might be interesting.

I’d rather watch Ralphie in there with Bevo. Or maybe Finebaum in there with both of them.

Yesterday, every where I looked I saw Finebaum on TV. He was okay many years ago in the B’Ham News, cause you did not have to read what he wrote or look at his picture. Thank you Bluto for providing us with all things CF without subjecting us to unattractive images.🐍

This is what happens when Texas has a year with no highlights and no games their brethren would like to see on replay. Sounds like what would happen if there were a Falcons Network.

Can anyone confirm this story?
I once read, many years ago, about a group of frat boys from Texas A&M that allegedly rustled the Texas mascot and turned him into a big barbque.
Is it true? I hope so! What a great story it would make.
Imagine UGA students stealing South Carolina’s clucker and making chicken and dumplings.

Thanks,Ug. The orange glare from the side made me ill so I magnified to words only.
So Bevo means “edible steer”. Would think that would put him in danger with the A&M cadets unless, of course, he was eaten each year after the season. Now that would be one helluva tradition.
Bubba and Earl could only top that with a ball-licking contest – on the 50-yd line.

I commend the LHN for taking the lead on bringing “slow television” to sports programming.

Well, “Step to the Rear” does seem appropriate for SC. But I’m sure they’ve probably crowned “Sandstorm” as their new official song.
