Things will be looking up this fall when I watch college football, it seems.
Now if they would just get that “dilly, dilly” crap off the air…

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 hope they leave them on air for eternity, simply because my old man gets irate every time a Sonic commercial with “those two queers” comes on. There’s never been any allusion whatsoever to their sexuality, but I’m entertained by the notion that a silly commercial could draw the ire of old homophobic men.

Just to make sure I am doing this right, we should hate:

6) Anyone opposed to paying college athletes
7) And now Larry the Dr. Pepper guy?
Why even bother watching the games at this point? Let’s just complain all day about what we currently do not like about college football. You guys make me look like a jolly good time.

One of my pet peeves of this glorious digital age is the overuse of the word “hate”. There’s nothing like elevating a one-off appreciation of having an overexposed advertising character removed from my viewing pleasure to Al Qaeda-like visceral emotion.
Of course, the real purpose here isn’t so much to insult as it is to let everyone know that your negativity is so much more coolly rational, logical and thus superior to our angry rabble’s.
With your extensive laundry list, I’d ask why you still lower yourself to reading the blog, but I assume you comment occasionally in the hope that some of us benighted souls will see your shining example and be inspired. It’s a noble calling on your part. Gawd bless you, sir.
I bet you’re a real blast at parties, Skeptic.

Sir, I am not the one who now blathers daily upon all perceived injustices within the world of college athletics. And Lawd knows you see a mountain of ‘em. Yes, I have beat a negative drum or two regarding the Georgia football program in years past, however, your sour grapes attitude of late has been a tad overboard and far overshadows any negativity I once brought forth. You are now the guy standing outside Sanford Stadium wearing a sandwich board with a bullhorn in hand proclaiming the end of times. As you have advised others, I no longer read, nor comment on, the multitude of posts regarding student-athlete payment, the Kessler trail, or the ineptitude of NCAA and/or university leadership. Meaning I rarely read anything these days. So enjoy your day of yelling at small children to get off of your lawn.
Bless your heart.

Ah, the deflection is strong in this one, Obi Wan.

Amusing that Larry Culpepper, of all things. is a bridge too far for you.
