To Be King of All You Survey: CFB Conference Championship Weekend

The Southeastern Conference Championship
The SEC East Georgia Bulldogs (11-1) vs The SEC West LSU Tigers (12-0)

The LSU Tigers' march across the south and defeat of all of those who came against them now brings them to Atlanta and The SEC Championship Game against SEC East Champs, the Georgia Bulldogs.  Loftier goals remain for the Tigers, but Saturday is about representin', and kicking the Dawg's mangy butts and making sure the SEC Championship continues to reside in the West. Where It Belongs!

This will be only the fourth time LSU and Georgia have met to decide the SEC Champion, the Tigers taking two of the three previous games. This Saturday will be a battle of an up tempo offense built to confuse defenses and striking fast with explosive plays, against a defense built to force you to put together long drives. It's a classic showdown of the league's best offense against the league’s best defense (statistically speaking). Auburn had some success slowing down the tempo of LSU’s pass offense, but the Tiger's run game stepped up and gassed the Auburn defenders. 

Joe Burrow put together a season that belongs on the shortlist of the best ever. His next TD pass will break the SEC’s single-season record. He broke the single-season passing yards mark last week. And in the backfield with Burrows is one Clyde Edwards-Helaire, 10th in the nation in all purpose yards. The defense is now healthy and at full strength. Coach O' has the Tigers focused. And Hungry. 

Georgia QB Jake Fromm will have to have a career day against the Tigers. The Dawgs have managed to put up 400 yards and 27+ points just once in their last 6 games, and Fromm has completed less than 50% of his passes in 4 consecutive games. 

The Bulldogs defense has played well holding 9 of 12 opponents below 100 yards rushing and all but one below 4.0 yards per carry. They have allowed only one rushing touchdown all season. The Dawgs are the only team in the nation that has held every opponent to 17 points or less in regulation, but ranks in the bottom half of the SEC in both tackles for loss and sacks.


Georgia plays a boring 'Kirby Ball' (i.e. Alabama Offense circa 2011). Wrestle control of the tempo in the first half, stake out a double-digit lead in the second, retreat into a shell, and sweat out a possible late rally by the opposing offense in the fourth quarter. If Georgia’s defense can do to LSU what it has done to every other offense it’s faced this year,  then the Bulldogs will be perfectly content to grind out another 20-something to 17-ish victory along the usual lines. I find that unlikely.

Part of the fun of watching the 2019 LSU Tigers this year has been listening to the skeptics as they aced every test, hit every note and defy every odd en route to the championship stage. Joe Burrow has done stuff that has made it impossible for the Tigers’ opponent to win.  This game won’t be any different. No blowout, but a solid win.  Beer and Flea Baths for everybody!

20 Reasons It's Better to be an LSU Fan Than a Georgia Fan 


GEAUX TIGAHS!


The Big10 Championship
Big East Wisconsin (10-2) vs Big West Ohio St. (12-0)
I really really really want to call upset. But I hesitate. It's extremely difficult to defeat a good team twice in one season (believe me, I know of what I speak) But as good as the Badgers are, the Bucknutts are not going to be denied the top CFB Playoff seeding even if it means resorting to sacrificing virgin cheerleaders to the football gods on the sidelines. 


The ACC  Championship
Clempston (12-0) vs Virginia (10-2)
Daboo is awful whiny for a defending National Champion.
Bless his heart. 


BIG 12  Championship
Oklahoma (11-1) vs Baylor (11-1)
Their first meeting was a squeaker. This one is a complete toss-up for me. Their one loss each was by a combined total of 10 points.  And I have to say, it would be great to see Jalen Hurts be the first Quarterback to lead two different teams to the College Football Playoff.  


PAC 12 Championship 
PAC North-Oregon (10-2) vs PAC South-Utah (11-1)
I hear Utah is pretty this time of year.

Media Working Overtime To Blame Racism & Misogyny For Kamala Falling on Her Face


It's not enough that Kamala Harris is as unlikeable and unappealing as any candidate since that Clinton Woman, that almost immediately after Harris withdrew from the 2020 race accusations of misogyny and racism began to run rampant, and continues at a steady pace ever since. A quick spin around the interwebs will reveal dozens of articles, all lamenting the racism and misogyny that destroyed poor, innocent, Kamala Harris. Just this morning, The Hill treated us to the following:
Sen. Kamala Harris’s exit from the race on Tuesday underscored the degree to which candidates of color have struggled to gain traction in the Democratic primary. At the moment, it appears that the party’s nominee is likely to be one of four white people — former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), or South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. And with Harris gone, the remaining six candidates who have qualified for the December debate are all white.
.......Democrats pride themselves on a racially diverse party, and the plight of candidates of color is raising new concerns about a primary calendar that gives significant weight to Iowa and New Hampshire."
The modern Democrat Party is built upon the concept that there is endemic, systematic, racism in this country. We’re not talking about a few deranged skinheads, mind you. No, the Dems want you to believe that hatred permeates virtually everyone and everything. They need that to be the popular narrative, and that message has emerged as their party’s defining characteristic.

Once upon a time, the Democrats positioned themselves as the party of the everyman – the working-class Joe who just wanted a better deal. Those days are long gone. Now, they’re the party of socialism, massive and oppressive taxation, transgender bathrooms, and fascist control of healthcare, guns, speech, and private property rights.

To be extremely blunt: Harris wasn’t driven out by bigots and misogynists. Her career ended because she’s an awful person, with a horrific track record, a coastal lefty and a terrible candidate. Kamala's positions are the positions of the modern Democratic Party, and they are being rejected. Since they can’t allow that to be the case, they have to find another excuse. Even if it targets members of their own party, “racism and misogyny” is the charge upon which they’ve settled. It lets the bad ideas off the hook, while it simultaneously serves to keep “their” minorities in line.

J. Fatman Nadler and his Liberal Legal Intelligentsia Sideshow


House Judiciary Committee chairman J. Fatman Nadler (D-N.Y.) taken over as ringmaster for the ongoing impeachment circus. He’s billing his opening act as an inquiry into the “historical and constitutional basis of impeachment” and “the Framers’ intent.”

Don’t be fooled by Nadler’s scholarly posturing. He isn’t planning a civics lesson. Democrats are hell-bent on impeaching Trump, so Nadler has to rewrite American history and massage the meaning of the Constitution’s impeachment clause to fit the pile of non-evidence BS Adam Schiff’s Intelligence Committee has produced.

They swear they’re reluctant to drag the nation into impeachment, but their duty to defend the rule of law requires it. Democrats and their hand-picked legal experts argued that a president can be impeached without breaking a law. Suddenly impeachment isn’t about upholding the rule of law. The grounds are broader. Wide enough to drive a truck through.

The Framers couldn’t specify federal law violations because there were no federal laws yet. But today, it’s hard for any citizen to steer clear of the tangled web of federal laws. Still the impeachers can’t find a law Trump’s broken. The liberal legal intelligentsia is to spin impeachment to serve their politics.

Harvard law professor Noah Feldman, one of four academics Nadler is calling to testify, has been gunning for Trump since day one, just like many House Dems. In an April 2017 interview, Feldman already urged impeachment. The grounds? Trump’s criticisms of the press. Feldman claims “the real purpose of impeachment at the deepest level is for Congress to express its beliefs about what the right way to be president is.”

Madison would have been appalled, and Americans today need to beware.

Gees Kam, That's Embarrassing........

Imagine having to drop out of a presidential race days after the front runner bit his wife's' finger on stage and claimed that kids liked to rub his leg hairs in the swimming pool....

Polling just slightly ahead of Tree Fungus and Spartacus Booker, the angry 
black woman in Manolo Blahnik shoes act is not playing well in middle America.

First Human Composting Facility To Begin Operation in 2021


Many times on this page I've commented sarcastically in response to radical environmentalist claims that our very existence is disrupting universal vibes and doing irreversible harm to Mother Earth, by echoing the words of a skit on the 1970's National Lampoon record 'Lemmings', that they jump into a hole and beat themselves into organic fertilizer to help save the planet & quicken their own demise.

Well, today's radical environmentalist, who are more concerned about their recycle can and their pets than their children's education, now will soon have an alternative to Dan Aykroyd's Lemmings Stage Announcer's suggestions.

Environmental experts have come up with a revolutionary system to convert human remains into soil as an alternative to cremation or burial.  So now, if they feel there are too many of us them, or they just feel like they're pustules on the butt of Mother Earth, they can turn themselves into planting material for aunt Alice's flower boxes.
In a move hailed as a positive step by environmentalists, Washington became the first U.S. state to legalize the composting of human bodies in May of this year. And now, the Evergreen State will become home to the world’s first human composting facility in 2021 thanks to Katrina Spade, founder and CEO of Recompose, after the legislation she helped enact goes into effect in May 2020. 
According to its website, Spade founded the revolutionary company with the goal of offering “natural organic reduction to the public,” a system that converts human remains into soil as an alternative to cremation or burial.
“By converting human remains into soil, we minimize waste, avoid polluting groundwater and prevent the emissions of CO2 from cremation and from the manufacturing of headstones and grave liners.  By allowing organic processes to transform our bodies and those of our loved ones into a useful soil amendment, we help to strengthen our relationship to the natural cycles while enriching the earth.”
When all is said and done, the process will yield about a cubic yard of soil per person.  The soil can be taken home by friends or family and used to grow a tree or a garden. Remaining soil will be used on 640 acres of conservation land in southern Washington that will one day become an ecologically sustainable village.
A quick glance at Spade's Team at Recompose looks a bit like a group casting call for a Stephen King movie.  Oh BTW, in case you've forgotten, 'Soylent Green' just happened to have been set in the year 2022.  Just Sayin'.........

Joe Biden: Kids love to rub my 'hairy blonde legs'.....

For reasons that no one can fathom, the Democrats have not been able to produce a 2020 candidate better than Joe Biden. Despite a few polling hiccups he’s still their frontrunner, and he’s still the odds-on favorite to clinch the nomination. So, there’s a good chance we’re going to get more glorious nuggets of wisdom like this:
Gropey Joe made those remarks – yes, he really did – in a new video that appears to come from the same event as the infamous “Ballad of Cornpop.” It doesn't appear to be fake, here's the complete video. The clip went viral yesterday, mostly because no one could believe it was thing that a presidential candidate would actually say.

Biden's comments sound like Courtney Love-penned lyrics from an early '90s Hole album.  If you’re a Democrat who’s tempted to claim that it’s mean, or petty, to point out how incredibly weird this is, feel free to head for the exits. If a Republican said something like this, it would be played in a 24-hour loop on every major news network.
