I too was an avid Imus listener and recall all of that.

Just as abortion has morphed from "safe, legal and rare" to "on demand at anytime" so too "Heather Has Two Mommies" has morphed to "Heather Has Two Mommies, Doesn't Know Which Bathroom to Use and was Defeated in a Women's Sports Competition by a Biological Male".   

That's the Overton window.

"First, we overlook evil. Then we allowed it. Then we legalize it. Then we promote it. Then we celebrate it, and finally we persecute those who call it evil."

Is this for the game against Georgia tomorrow? Or did something happen in Crimson Tide Land that I'm not aware of today?

Indeed! Mrs jabe stayed behind in B'ham while I'm blowing it out in a Mississppi casino. Bets are placed for tommorrow's games as well as NFL on Sunday. Baccarat was a plus, roulette a minor bust, blackjack was really fine. I'll return home tomorrow in time for the game and probably doze off....
Hell no I won't! ROLL TIDE!!!

Congrats Tide and thanks for revealing the BCS Committee for the frauds that they are!  FSU is in my Top 5 schools that I dislike, but they deserved to be in the play-off.  Undefeated (barely) and won their conference...they did all they were supposed to do to be in the play-off but were snubbed!

Bayer is sued for billions for Roundup weed killer that supposedly causes cancer, yet you can still buy it at your local hardware store, no problem. Same thing with Sweet & Low. They’ve been saying for decades that it causes cancer, yet it’s probably available in 9 out of ten restaurants and other establishments. I mean, who really gives a shit except the lawyers who reap the biggest rewards?

Can't disagree with your post. Florida State got bf'd. I sure didn't see the Tide getting into the playoffs. (but I'll live with it)
I believe most of this  revolves around the $$$. The Crimson Tide "brand" is probably in the top 3 or 4 nationally. The playoff committee has to keep fattening their belly.
Put Georgia in the final four and they win it all again.

Sweat and low does not cause cancer in humans but because it caused some cancer in mice or rats it's on a list of stuff that "might" cause cancer. they have no direct evidence of it ever causing anyone any harm.

In my opinion, ALL four teams had a legit reason to feel they deserved to be in it:

1.  FSU - Won their conference title, un defeated and will have their second string QB back on the field. 

2.  Texas - Only loss was to their conference rival, won their conference and beat the SEC Champ early in the season.

3.  Alabama - Won the SEC conference title (THE toughest conference in college football), only loss was a regular season game against the Big 12 conference champion, and seemed to have to play a ranked opponent EVERY weekend.

4.  Georgia - Only loss in the last two years was a 3 point loss to Alabama.  Number one team for two years and should not have dropped so far in the polls.

That’s why I still use it occasionally. Roundup too.

I'm through with college sports. ESPN, money, and television have ruined it.

I don't blame you.  The transfer portal with no penalty to the players that leap from one school to another whenever it suits them, schools jumping conferences to the point we'll only have 2 conferences eventually, schools and coaches bending to the "woke" culture, etc.  I quit watching the pros when the whole "Copperdick" debacle was raging, I'm not long for the college world either....

I like the spirit of the commercial with the 3 elder ladies sledding, but notice they don't show you their struggle walking back up that hill?  I was good for about 3 times when I was 16. 

I mentioned that to my girlfriend. Like walking back up the big slide stairs in the fun house.
