To evaluate a head football coach based on W-L record. What an odd concept. “Ole Miss scheduled a player meeting Sunday night to inform the players of the decision. Senior linebacker Willie Hibbler said players, including himself and freshman Jerrion Ealy, walked out of the meeting. “That tells you a lot,” Hibbler said. “I think they
The Vikings mourn the loss of Fred Cox, one of our proudest legends and a member of the 50 Greatest Vikings, the team said in a statement. In 1972, while still playing for the Vikings, Cox came up with the idea of a soft football to prevent leg injuries to kids. He and partner John
Spend most of the day in Starkvegas. Strangely, it was not too busy even in the early afternoon. No one in The Little Dooey when we were there. Kickoff is at 2:30 tomorrow. Wonder if this could have something to do with the lack of traffic? We have decided to stay home and watch the
A sheet of menu cards I’d like to draw your attention to a few things. First, appreciate how accommodating Mr. Big Food is with respect to menu planning. Something for everyone. ABCVegVGF. We had to make a separate stop in our Tuesday is tailgate shopping day to get GF bread. [No sides are listed b/c
We won. Yeah yeah. The football team won a game. Go Dawgs.
That’s not what I’m talking about.
We won. We won… if I may… BIG.
The food was awesome. We like to play off our opponents’ strengths– in this case South Carolina– and so there was She Crab Soup, and Frogmore Stew in a Corn Muffin (Yea, Kat!). And stuff. Stuffed peppers and tomatoes (Yea, Alix!). And Carolina BBQ. And perloo. That’s how you say it, “Per’-loo.”
(But that’s not how it’s really spelled. It’s really spelled p-i-l-a-u. It is hard to find this on the Internet. It is much easier to wake Mr. Big Food and say, “Hey! How do you spell ‘perloo’?” And if you ask loud enough– and repeatedly– Mr. Big Food will wake from his slumber and say, “P-i-l-a-u.” And the internet will confirm that Mr. Big Food knows what he is talking about with regard to how to properly spell ‘Perloo’.
Everyone really liked the Puppy Dawgs’ table (Yea, Daughter C!) and that we had Dawg water (Yea, Gil!). And a satellite television (Yea, me)!
As I have said, we know how to do this.
BIG thanks to Daughter C, Kat, The J-Man. Andrew. James, the visiting guest speaker. Evan, his wife (I’m no good with names) and their kids who Gil-sat. Carolyn and Tim who guarded the tailgater.
So! What happened in the World today while we were winning?
On August 16, 2016 Daughter C and I opened up the back doors of the tailgate trailer. It was quite a sight! About 10 pounds of s*^t in a five pound tin can that gets incredibly hot in the Mississippi afternoon sun. (There’s a roof vent but none of us can figure out how to
I have put Daughter C in charge of Tailgate decorations. She’s thinking ahead to the October 29th homecoming game against Samford. October 29th. Halloween. She does not want to use the deer skull that belongs to Chris as a tailgate decoration because she worries that it would get broken– and it doesn’t belong to us.
It’s not your fault. It’s not personal. You have a job. I hope you can keep it. But nothing you can say– nothing you can offer– will persuade me to stay with DirecTV. Can’t be done. Have a nice day, Marica ~~ DirecTV/AT&T decided it/they didn’t want to renew its/their contract with our local ABC
The final item in the last course of appetizers for supper. My favorite! Entire apps for supper menu below the fold. SPINACH BALLS II Makes 7-8 dozen. “Freezes well.” 2 10 oz packages frozen chopped spinach, cooked, drained well, cooled Large onion, chopped fine 1 ½ sticks butter, melted 1 tsp garlic salt ½ tsp
Here’s the story. As you know the NCAA National Football Championship Game was last evening. Kickoff 7:30 central. My timing on Marica Cooks Monday had to be impeccable. Here is Missy hanging out at 6:32pm by which time I had reviewed the recipe many many times. It’s very easy but I didn’t want any unnecessary
I’ll continue the Sansing story in a bit. For now… Roast 5+ pounds of “soup bones” in a 400° oven for two hours. Put in BIG GIANT gumbo pot. Pick a whole bunch of fresh Russian Red Celery from the garden. Chop coarsely. Add to pot along with one bag carrots scrubbed but not peeled,
Mississippi State University. Green Light. From the “About” page at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (F.I.R.E.) Why is free speech important on campus? Freedom of speech is a fundamental American freedom and a human right, and there’s no place that this right should be more valued and protected than America’s colleges and universities.
