Armani Bear

Stuck in the Plains — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:47:01 -0000

I know there was a good deal of discussion before the Bama-Georgia game about the Armani Bear, and the sign that would be on parade for GameDay. Many folks had asked for a picture of it, and, happily, the Wiz has a pic up at his site.

The URL is http://www.thewizofodds.com/the_wiz_of_odds/2008/09/snapshots-of-week-5.html

And, I believe that the direct link for the pic is available at: http://www.thewizofodds.com/.a/6a00e553e551d18834010534dd545d970c-pi

FYI: Pic resolution is kind of crappy.

Roll Tide.

Just had to say Congrats!

Bobby Johnson is a helluva' coach. The 'Dores are all alone in the East. Gameday is coming and you're ranked! Just amazing, considering this was supposed to be a down year. Good luck against the 'Barn. Tommy Tuberville's coupon cutting ways will only go so far, and I'm sure that they had this one penciled in as a 'W' when they looked at the league schedule. Put 14 points on them, and you'll be good!

Roll Tide!

Just mulling over the AP

Is it just me, or does the Top 10 definitely have a retro feel?

1. Oklahoma 2. Alabama 5. Texas 6. Penn State 9. USC.

If Michigan, Nebraska and Notre Dame were there, I'd swear it was 1978, not 2008.

Three other quick items of curiosity, and I think Spock hit the first one1) Mizzou #1? Who did that? 2) Also, is there anyone who watched the Oregon State game on Thursday who thinks the Trojans a legitimate top 10? I can honestly see no reason for that one, and it dovetails to #3) UGA was HARSHLY penalized. They are still a better team than Texas Tech, South Florida, USC and BYU (as the second half demonstrated last night). I honestly don't see anyone else on their schedule who is guaranteed to beat them

We know the secret to winning...

Embarassing admissions. Because of you, Bama Faithful, we were able to negate the mojo of the black out. This is pulling out all the stops; this is leaving it all on the internets; this is posting like a champion!

Christian death metal; reformed goth kids; loofahs on 6'3" he-beasts
Thinking that Shoney's is a great place to pick up chicks
Being left by girlfriends for another girl (waaaay too many of you for this to be anything *other* than a concerted effort by Alabama's beauties)
Memorizing showtunes and songs from the "Sound of Music"
Getting pwnd by strippers and mocked by small children while covered in vomit
Sleeping in trash cans
Air.Supply.
America's Top Model.
And the O.C.

Keep up the good work. I fully predict that if we're undefeated when we play LSU at least one person will get indicted for their complete (and warranted) admission! ROLL TIDE!

Laundry List of Obscenely Embarrasing Admissions

The Dawgs have us blacked out, our young defense is missing assignments, our wonderful o-line is giving up pressure on our notoriously turnover-prone qb, we are pressuring -but not hitting- opposing qb's, we still can't stretch the field...and there's a new UGA.

Accordingly, the football gods require propitiation for our trip to Athens. I provide the following admissions so that we might receive succor on the field of play.

I own the Journey box set...and like it.
When my lawnmower was broken, and I was still in college and too broke to fix it or buy a new one, I got annihilated on a pint of Old Crow, strapped a sheet of plywood to my subaru and dragged my brother behind me to mash the grass down.
When I was in high school, my favorite pick-up spot for ladies was the Shoney's in Northport.
I own a puffy trucker's hat with a jolly roger that reads "bad to the bone".
I lost my virginity in a sky-blue 1984 Chrysler Reliant K station wagon listening to Heart.

There are far more, but with the Whos and the Barn still on the slate, I must save those admissions for another day.

Roll Tide!
