Was that YOU driving down my street Andrew? You ran-over one of my plastic flamingoes!

Probably.  If they're the kind that have little red sweaters with an A stenciled on them, I tend to take aim.   O:-)

[MetalDog]

Awwww, that's harsh.  I knew Airboy had reason to pull for the wrong side, I didn't know there were two of you.  ;)

Ah the day after a Bama bowl loss in Alabama. 

Time to drive down the street and gawk at all the broken flat screens left on the curb.

Not in Auburn.

Don't have to tell me.  I'm an Auburn grad.   ;)

War Eagle! :bd:

My flamingoes were non-partisan yard ornaments. You college kids-- don't you EVER grow-up?  >:(

We're like bad pennies.

Grow up? I genuinely try not to.

I learned when I moved to Alabama in '89 that there was no such thing as being non-partisan here anyway.  When I tried to stay "undeclared" and insist I was a pro fan, I was met with outright hostility by Bama fans.  Seeing my across the street Alabama fan neighbors set fire to a lawn chair and kick in a TV in the aftermath of my first in state Iron Bowl sort of made me an Auburn fan for life.

Here in Florida it's not so bad. Every time the Gators play we all turn our TV sets to face north towards Gainesville. If they win, we turn them back to whatever direction they were facing before the game. If they lose,..... pretty much the same thing.

You should troll them all and put Ole Miss signs in their yards.

or LSU

[Sir Slash]

Sounds like we could lose a lot of lawn chairs that way.

[OJsDad]

or Clemson.

Thanks for this.  Great article.  Always felt if his body could stand up to it that he'd be one of the best LB's in the game.  His Finish this Fight playoff video is pretty inspirational as well.

If Jaylon Smith fully recovers from that ghastly injury he had in College, a healthy Lee and Smith could be one of the best line backing duos of all time.

How do you know when your relocation to LA is a bad idea?

^ Tried to read, couldn't because it kept popping up loud, obnoxious ads. Still I get the gist. I didn't know the Chargers moved to LA, too. Now they have two suck ass football teams!  <:-)

The Chargers move to a city with no fan base for them and a local populace that doesn't want them, and at the same time manage to alienate their prior fan base in the process. 

I guess Spanos is counting on the ticket sales in his new stadium coming from traveling visitors.
