2018 Week 7 CFB Open Thread

[Jake]

Did you rock the Lee Iacocca shirt with the contrasting cuffs and collar too....suspenders are assumed.

Nah, that never made sense to me. Cracks me up when I still see old dudes wearing that shit today.

I can't take them seriously, and just assume they're easy prey for negotiating a deal. That usually proves true.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Da U just got stuffed on a 4th & 1

trailing UVA 6-13

 

[Jake]

Yep! I had a moronic, neo-deadhead roommate at the time who acted like he discovered this new band. I gave him my, "you're too stupid to live" look.

Those were the same shit bags who mocked me for hanging out at Mustard's in 1984 listening to Gloria and I Will Follow.

 

[ExpatAkronite]

OK. Drunk and fighting each other backstage. I knew some guys in an OSU band that actually opened for them on their last tour. Depending on one's outlook on life, the stories were either too sad or too funny to be believed.

Oh, I believe them. Thankfully they never toured with the Pogues.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

ESPN ticker keeps noting that this was LSU's 3rd win over an AP top 10 team this year.

Auburn was ranked 21st coming into the game

They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. They just make whatever shit up they want to try and create the narrative they want to push.

It's propaganda at this point.

Guessing they meant at the time they played. Da u, auburn, and uga were all top 10 when they played lsu

 

[youra6]

I kinda feel bad for Scott Frost, but then I think about his bank account.

Pelini is probably laughing his ass off though.

 

[scarletmike]

Tua's knee is hurt, and the Bama punter is SUPER rusty.

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

that might be the last time Bama punts the rest of the season

 

[TooTall]

Alabama with their first punt in two and a half games, and the punter drills it.... for 13 yards.

 

[sparcboxbuck]

This is true. REM before they sucked. The Replacements before they were too drunk to play and a hundred other bands that passed through Staches or the Newport. We had real alternative music that never played on the radio before the record companies discovered they could co-opt it for a buck.

Oh, for sure. As far as a decade for music, the 80’s and 60’s are unparalleled. I have virtually zero love for 60’s music, but I recognize its place in history.

Thankfully, it got to see most of the 80s band before they started sucking, many of them at the Newport. Did see the Replacements play a Mats show (drunk as fuck) in Athens tho.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Guessing they meant at the time they played. Da u, auburn, and uga were all top 10 when they played lsu

as long as we get to call TCU a top 15 road win then

I'm guessing the ESPN script writers won't approve that language

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Those were the same shit bags who mocked me for hanging out at Mustard's in 1984 listening to Gloria and I Will Follow.

Myself and a girl down the floor dragged a group to see the Ramones at The Newport in 1985. You knew who was cool by who went upstairs and who went into the mosh pit. And then there were those that thought we meant The Romantics. They were beyond redemption.

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Early 90’s say Hi and you’re welcome for bringing rock and roll back from that shit that was “rock and roll” in the 80s...especially the late 80s

 

[Jake]

Guessing they meant at the time they played. Da u, auburn, and uga were all top 10 when they played lsu

Another example of why "ranked at the time" is a monumentally stupid way to measure a team.

If it was up to me, the CFP committee wouldn't meet or release rankings until the end of the season. Thank fuck the AP assholes aren't picking them based on how good they thought some shit team was on September 5th.

 

[sparcboxbuck]

Wait--when we're the Placemats not drunk?

In the first Paul Westerberg solo tour, also known as the All Shook Down tour. Did see them at the Newport as well on the Don’t Tell a Soul tour and I’m pretty sure they were not blasted on stage.
