Propping up Bobo for something??

Bobo was great at scripting plays. Then the balance would kick in…….

Agreed, Bobo could script and design. He would fail at a higher rate than acceptable deeper into the game when you were playing the chess match with the DC.

I am the chocolate cookie baking king. I can bake soft & chewy or crispy. High or flat. I bake a dozen weekly for my sweet 90 year old MIL. The neighbors enjoy them also.
My gawd what happened to me? I used to deal in hot lead and cold steel, explosives and granite. Now it’s cookies and woodworking.

I was simply too busy. I had a piece of inch and a quarter thick x 18” square polished granite for 15 years. I finally made a range table with fallen cedar posts. Dowel cut the braces from limbs. It’s ugly but sturdy. Got moss on the legs that I turned to the north.
I’m the worst carpenter in the world but as God is my witness I’ll work until I’m the second worst.

I am officially inviting you to come preach for me some Sunday. Then we can spend the afternoon drinking good bourbon, baking cookies and talking about granite quarries in Bowman and Fortsonia. But we won’t eat BBQ here. It sucks.

I wouldn’t let you down, Rev. I’ve been known to teach an 8 hour class without saying fuck or shit even once.
Somewhere up in those hills someone is making some good corn liquor the old way. But a good taxed bourbon is hard to beat.

Supposedly Elijah Craig was a preacher before he was a founding father of bourbon. Not sure if that’s true or not. But I like his bourbon a whole lot. Preachers know stuff …..

You know, his intermittent OCD preoccupation with “balance” aside, Bobo was a pretty good coordinator for us. Deserved better than to get tossed overboard by Bryan Harsin last year . . . though being thrown clear of that disaster turned out to be a blessing.

Yeah, I was coming here to post that, too. It’s a great speech, and I’m happy he’s on our side. I hope that he stays a while longer for sure. Not only does he do great work on the field, but I think he is a great mentor for younger coaches, too. He seems to really enjoy Kirby and they have a good working relationship. Let’s keep that going.

Good call, Russssss mannnnnn. Another good show is SEC Inside. Covers the SECC game. The best part is the slo-mo capture of the Dawgs blocking the FG. Chris Smith is turned laughing his ass off most of the way.

What ever bonus Coach Monken was to get for winning that award is given to him anyway by the AD. Coach earned it. I would not trade him for any other OC in CF.

Look Kirby has surrounded himself with former team mates and like it or not, Bobo was a good OC and Muschamp was a hell of a DC. Kirby trusts them.
Monken, needs to be paid a lot of money. Here’s hoping his wife loves Athens and doesn’t want to leave.
