Getting off the "woe is us" bus for a second.
Watched about half of the Bama-Ole Miss game. I've always felt like Gary and Verne had a perverse adoration for all things Crimson but they went overboard with it on Saturday.
First they bellyached that an Ole Miss touchdown shouldn't have counted for about ten minutes. Then when somebody finally told them the play wasn't reviewable, they shifted tactics and started bitching and whining that it shouldn't have counted because the Ole Miss player went "helmet to helmet" on the Turd quarterback to cause the fumble. That carried on through another series and across a commercial break. Bitching, bitching, whining, whining, bitching.
Then when an Alabama player hit Chad Kelly as he was going out of bounds and literally headbutted him, crown of the helmet into his earhole what did Verne and Gary say then? Not a damn word. Not a peep. Of course it wasn't flagged either.
Their giggling joy at Bama coming back after being down, the despondence in their voices when Ole Miss was ahead? Absolutely sickening.
On top of that, what was absolutely the worst to me was a long diatribe by the pair about how that "silly" high school fast-paced offense had been figured out by great defenses like Alabama's. It was nothing but gimmicks and quality teams like Alabama can't be taken in by it. That kind of nonsense just doesn't work against them.
Those fucking idiots. Over the last five or six years the ONLY teams that repeatedly give Saban's defense fits are those like ours (used to be), A&M, Ole Miss, Clemson, etc. They skull fuck the neanderthal teams like LSU. But Verne and Gary contend that "gimmicky, silly" shit just doesn't work.
I hate those two clowns. I'm glad to see Verne retire. I wish he'd take Gary with him.
