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 don’t get it. Why all of these blue schools want to wear black is beyond me. Nike must kick in a bonus.

Correct, Bright.. Why do all these schools want to wear a color i.e., black, that is not their colors?

Same reason as Johnny Cash, Dale Earnhardt, TV cowboys on the wrong side of the law, etc. Why both gangsters and G-men drive black vehicles. The color (or absence of color) black is thought-associated with “BADASS”.

As a general rule, kids that are into whether their jersey looks “dope” don’t respond well to getting punched in the mouth. I’m happy for Mullen to recruit the soft kids who want to wear “fresh” jerseys.

I have to compliment you on your posts of late, most of which have been quite solid as opposed to your previous loony stuff, which you’d go totally off the rails (while somehow injecting a political angle into it). Unless I’ve missed something along the way from you, you’ve done a pretty much 180 overall.

I’m confused, as I’m trying to understand how this was a passive-aggressive post based on it’s definition. Heck, I thought it was the complete opposite. After all, I didn’t beat around the bush or sugar coat anything – I flat out said he was a previously a nut but has come around of late. Nothing more or less.
In my experience, passive-aggressive types are the ones who don’t tell or show you their true feelings, but instead mask them with subtle jabs, empty jargon, or weak promises/comittments.

It’s the result of not wearing jeans paired with golf shirts.
Clearly, I’m going to have to reassess. I can’t imagine anything worse than being perceived as “reasonable.”

My apologies, and please feel free to revert back to your old self immediately. But if your alternative personality decided to stick around a bit longer, I’m all for it. {was that a passive-aggressive complement? I don’t know}

Thanks. I have no idea what was meant by passive aggressive there. “Back handed compliment” was probably more apropos. Perfectly fine btw. I take no offense to the “you used to be an asshole” sentiment other than the implicit suggestion that I may no longer be an asshole for which I take great umbrage. I’m obviously going to have to put forward a better effort.

I hope UF rides the energy bus all the way to Jville with their black uniforms on, which will give them super powers to defeat evil UGA!
Speaking of energy bus, remember that lame ‘get on the energy bus’ thing CMR came up with in the preseason ’11?

I thought it was auburn/Gus. I always assumed it gave us the “Gus bus” term.

CMR came up with his whole ‘get on the energy bus’ in the preseason of ’11, which was basically support to accompany his GATA thing. Then, in game 1 of the season against BSU, we got utterly hammered, so he dropped the whole thing and never used it again.

The closest Bama came was a kick off game and from the sideline it looked pretty much the same. I agree changing up uniforms is a distraction.

I think it’s a stupid rule that all the players have to wear the same thing. If we’re not going to pay them, give the players a stipend and let them buy their own uniform, of their own design. Oh, and numbers are so fascist, too. I want to see Zeus lining up in a chartreuse and lime green uniform with a lightning bolt on the back instead of a number. Man, everybody would be having fun!

I don’t know if he can win a natty, but coachup inferior talent seems to be in his repertoire.
LikeLike
Yes, because consistently finishing middle-to-bottom tier in the SEC West with middle-to-bottom tier talent speaks volumes to coaching up inferior talent.
Before you tell me “he had MSU as high as #2” please refer to how they finished that year and remember that your ranking mid-season means absolutely nothing to anyone, and Dak Prescott was no “inferior talent.”

Getting middle tier talent to a program that had the smallest budget in the Conference when he arrived was an accomplishment and he did so without the NCAA investigating unlike their in state big brother.

UGA has the best looking alternate uniform in football and it is actually one of our colors. As stated here before, I wish we’d alternate the black jersey between Auburn at home one year, Tech at BDS the next, and Florida the following. The players and fans get their fun, the recruits like them, and by scheduling it years in advance there is no “fake juice” aspect.
LikeLike
My thought is to let the seniors pick an alternate uniform for Senior Day. They wore the G four years let them have some fun (although winning is real fun). I don’t think Kirby would let them get too crazy. Of course, losing to Tech in black jerseys would probably freak me out worse than my normal horrible posts.

Mullen spoke to Gator fans at the Tampa Yacht & Country Club this evening, and the topic of uniforms came up.
Mullen announced his own personal Cocktail Party ensemble: J.
