There are a lot of terrapins on the Eastern Shore.

He’s 71 now and selling the building (land, really) is his retirement plan. Like a lot of Athens small businesses.

Piddled around so only just got around to voting at Chase … they said over 600 there today.

Signed up for Direct TV streaming, and hoping Cowboys on MNF gets a deal done so I can cancel. Was kind of appalled to learn Mickey owns DirectTV too (knew about Fubo). Hate to reward bad behavior, but it's the Cocktail Party.

“Message board freaks,” @alexkirshner.com? Was that a nice thing to say?

The ball will find him, repeatedly and/or at the worst possible time

The plaque says that 3000 years ago it was already “the usual mourning gesture.” Truly, the surrender cobra is deeply embedded in the human psyche. It’s like two notches below eating when we’re hungry.

Since I knew Kirby could handle Ole Miss and Auburn on his own, I left the real Athens, where them Dawgs are, and went to the other one, with the round footballs. And there I found the Surrender Cobra, Archaic Greek edition. @hollyanderson.bsky.social is quite the classicist as it turns out. 750 BC

These are Godfrey’s credit card millionaires, gotta see what they can finagle on the credit limit

It just means more, Carolina version

Oh that tricky Bobo

As you have said many times, players not plays, Kirby. You have $20m roster and then force feed a former walk on the highest leverage plays.

I am old and got my two “now I can die happy now” championships but genuinely curious whether Kirby is truly enough of an animal to force wrenching change and reprofessionalize his operation

Schuman was consistently bad. Bobo saved up all his bad and blew it out in the highest leverage moments. I try hard not to be a “that play didn’t work” OC disrespector but Cash Jones and two freshmen OL what are doing here? Just an institutional failure

I’m perfectly happy to admit it. Former wunderkind “Kirby’s Kirby” GS has gradually been given more responsibility and has now Peter Principled out. He isn’t a good SEC DC without his Muschamp training wheels

Have been a Bobo agnostic but 100% agree on that. Two of the most expensive rosters in the country in a death match and the best we can do is feeding cash jones behind two freshmen linemen. Time to reprofressionalize the operation Kirby

Blue skies and distant rumblings … kinda weird

Would not have bothered to watch if Alex hadn’t convinced me the Whoos had a chance

An argument over gate receipts is even better than “that ‘44 game don’t count cause y’all had too many ringers from the nearby naval training station”

"Never compare people to monkeys" is indeed a sound business practice.

I reckon he did.

Get the safety and then keep kicking FGs, that’s the dream. 5,8,11 … but then no more. One more takes you to 14 and who wants that

At least you got the fünfer and the achter
