So much of it is arbitrary now. I hate it.
The charge call has now become another to add to the list. DJ literally forcibly backs folks up 2 or 3 feet at a time by knocking them off their spot, yet a defender cannot even make glancing contact on an offensive player. The game has become completely about offense.
As a former coach, I also hate the replay rule inside of 2 minutes of each half. You teach kids that every play matters, yet with this rule it seems that the plays at the end matter much more. If they miss a call with 2:01 left in the half, it isn?t important enough to review. I would much prefer that they give a coach 2 replay reviews per half than to keep what they now use.
I could go on, but I will get off my soapbox now. Sorry for the rant.
You meant DK, right?

Cal has a 34 million buyout I read.....The whole state of KY isn't worth 34 million. Less than the $78 million that dumbo fisher got, but still no. 2 on the alltime list (the current Senator for Alabama got $22 million from Auburn )

"I just hope St. Peter's doesn't have a nun in their corner." "Why don't we get our own nun? The least it would do is cancel out the nun opponents bring. Maybe put Smokey in a wheelchair and put a shaw around him?"

Btw I used to work at a now-extinct big box electronics retailer back in the day. And for some reason we also sold mattresses. As you may or may not be aware, mattresses have the highest margins of nearly any big household purchase you can make. A $9k mattress probably only costs a couple hundred bucks to manufacture.
So why are we not all in the mattress business?

Stayed in a Hilton a few years back that had the best mattress I had ever slept on. I got back home after a few days and I called the Hilton where I stayed to find out the mattress brand....I got it and looked it up.....it costs more than my car did. Wow, that's crazy! I can definitely settle for less than that.

What did the regular season SEC Championship get them yesterday? I didn't see Knecht pointing to his ring finger yesterday.
LMAO! Read verrrryyy sllloooowwwlyyyy It. Got. Us. A REGULAR SEC CHAMPIONSHIP!!! But OMFG! How dense are you? Listen Virginia...it's hard to win an SEC Championship. let alone be SOLE champion. UT has accomplished this 3 times in the last 50 years. Its a moment to be treasured. Seriously...did you take a hit on the head when you were a child, or do you just sniff glue habitually? I CANT BELIEVE...I have to explain this to you. What a fizzleing dumbass. (Droner I know name calling is a violation of board rules...but COME ON!!! )

Medlock is the last of the (semi) originals He rocked out last night Also has plenty of newer tats
By the end of Freebird I felt I was in Blue Oyster Cult: "My ears will melt, then my eyes ..." For those unfamiliar with BOC, that line is from Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll, which is my favorite song from them (The wife hates it when I play Cities on Flame as I attempt to find numbers above 10 on the volume dial)
Other BOC other songs I like: Hot Rails to Hell Dominance and Submission (won't find it on many playlists but I love it) Then Came the Last Days of May (Don't Fear) the Reaper (much more "pop" than their normal style) This Ain't the Summer of Love Godzilla (whoops, there went Tokyo!) Burnin for You
The opening act was Black Stone Cherry Wasn't fond of them at all Their drummer seemed to think that banging the drums as hard as he could was the proper way to play them (spoiler alert, it is not)
Not a huge fan of BOC, they are a bit too literally "cult" for me. I used to think that Don't Fear the Reaper advocated teen suicide, but then I read an interview where the lead singer said it just means literally what it says...don't fear death. Doesn't mean its not a pretty creepy song though. Burnin for You is a great song...don't know many other BOC songs. I might give Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll a listen, since you tout it so highly.
