I see what you're suggesting about needing to have something to stand on. Assistant coaches who get hired as head coaches don't have a record and it happens regularly that they get bumped up. And there are coaches that get hired from powder puff conferences which aren't proven against power conference teams yet. It takes about 3-4 years before the fan base demands they get the axe for not performing. And then they have the buy-out clause which is typically their same salary for not working for the next 3 years. Getting another coaching job is the only thing that will stop them from collecting the buy-out money.

Alabama assistant coaches who have become head coaches haven't yet beaten Nick Saban. Of all coaches I think only Urban Crier Meyer has shown an ability to beat him.

Check this out. Stop telling your kids to be doctors and lawyers.

Why the ** in Mississippi? Is their coach also the dog catcher and the guy that picks up dead animals off the county roads?

A few months ago, as the Mississippi legislature was pondering a change to the state flag, they also took up a motion to make the State's offical flag, fish and haircut one and the same, but it failed to get out of committee.


I traveled along the Miss coast back around 2005, stopping a few times and I was beginning to think the whole state was blood cousin to Joe Dirt. (I was going to Ala pick up a Fiero)

But Arkansas and Lousiana still loves 'em. Mississippi is their Mississippi.

That there is funny, don’t care who U R.....
Mississippi is, what it is, I’m sure they appreciated your tourist dollars.

quote Originally posted by maryjane: I'm sure the $6 I spent at their little cafe at the east end of the Pascagoula River bridge was much appreciated. The friend from West Texas that traveled with me that weekend left the same tip I did. $1. I suspect there was a true knife and catclaw fight over those 2 bucks after we left. We opted to go on into Louisiana for breakfast on our return trip the next day. Is it true that it's against Mississippi State law to serve any meal without a side order of grits?

I'm sure your business was greatly appreciated. Wouldn't surprise me about the catfight you mentioned. From what I hear, tips from Texan's are pretty rare and that would make those one dollar bills extremely rare.

Reference the grits, wouldn't know for sure, Crackle Barrel seems to serve grits in every location I've ever visited. Not being a fan of Crackle Barrel or of grits, I never touch them.

But, this does remind me of an old joke.

I was once asked how to bury a Texan.

The response was, poke a hole in the body and let all the hot air out and you can bury them in a shoe box.

We all know that isn't true, Texan's are filled with more than hot air. Won't go into what I heard the other contents were.

Said in jest, let's not get all excited about it.

Now, back to that game. I'm picking Bama by 14 points. Although, not confident enough to wager on it.
