Back in the 60's, Paul Bryant and Wally Butts fixed a Georgia-Bama game and even had the gall to laugh about it over the phone. The Saturday Evening Post, a well-respected and century-old journal, led a crack investigation and uncovered most of the sordid details. But then Bama grads who controlled the NY Times spread a huge amount of misinformation and got the Post crushed under a barrage of lawsuits and countersuits, securing Bryant's legacy and eliminating a Times competitor in one fell swoop.

AA, DSL just launched the Wally Butts Doomsday Weapon.

Are you going to let him get away with that?

I am saddened that AA backed down from such a direct challenge to his manhood.

I am a man of peace. I travel from town to town asking for nothing more than water in my search for a link to my father. Occasionally, I will play a small bamboo flute and reminisce about the day I left the temple. My teacher, Master Fiddich, would not let me leave until I could snatch a shotglass from his hand and move the giant rock with the Priceline logo on the sides. That's the emblem you see burned into my arms.


I am Kwi Chang Alum, and there can be only one.

Many excellent versions. I'm particular to versions by Bill Monroe and Johnny Cash.

You can't go wrong with either of those. But I've never heard Ralph's version.

I know, youtube probably has it.

AA, thanks for the pic of you and Harvey Updyke on Bourbon Street.

Another Updyke-themed post from Prof?

Sigh...

That's probably the best defense I've ever seen in college football. They'd give the Packers' or Saints' offenses a run for their money. Alabama is clearly the best team in the country. Congratulations.

LSU didn't do much to help their own cause, though. Jefferson looked like he was on acid. And I'll never understand how they thought they could run the option successfully against such blazing defensive speed. After six or seven attempts, you'd think they they would have figured that out.
