Alabama Thread! (10/26/2016 update)

[j00t]

i don't know if i'm free anymore. my uncle and aunt might be taking my family out to dinner, sooo.... probably can't do anything tonight. tomorrow afternoon (like at the usual time) would be perfect for me. if i'm available tonight i'll let you guys know.

Ahh, well I believe the plans died when Chad said he wasn't here.

 

[-Chad-]

I won't be at Reflex's tourney, but I will see you and all the other people I missed this visit when I return over winter break. In the meantime, I have a busy few weeks ahead of me (starting tomorrow).

I'll hopefully be able to visit when you come back for winter break =x

 

[Majist]

Ahh, well I believe the plans died when Chad said he wasn't here.

what about tomorrow?

 

[j00t]

I was thinking we'd just wait until Tuesday.

 

[mslano]

I'll hopefully be able to visit when you come back for winter break =x

If not, I might swing by your neck of the woods on my drive down from Chicago.

 

[SK8orDIE]

[Majist]

[theONEjanitor]

[mslano]

I already told Ash of my plans to make the same visit with you guys. I'll likely make a few stops around Nashville when I drive down.

 

[j00t]

Man, Alabama got pwned. :x

 

[Houndstooth]

Yeah. I'm not happy about it. Oh well, maybe Saban can get them next year.

 

[saintrage]

So wait who all from bama is planning to go to reflex's. I was hoping to carpool with some guys, but if we need to my car has great gas mileage, in case we need to take more than 1 car.

i am speaking for huntsville btw

oh and moogle this tuesday again?

 

[[_-T4RN1SH-_]]

Arg... ive been cought up in so much Anime lately ive forgot to check on here from time to time. LCHSGoBigRed's finals need to hurry up and go by so we can play some smash.

 

[Majist]

dammit, will. why didn't you just come to hsv? what a ****ing joke that game was.

 

[SK8orDIE]

dammit, will. why didn't you just come to hsv? what a ****ing joke that game was.

Seriously. Most every year, the Iron Bowl gets my prestigious "Who cares?" award.

I am GO for Tuesday.

 

[munkus beaver]

dammit, will. why didn't you just come to hsv? what a ****ing joke that game was.

It was a one score game for about 50% of the time, and we had Terry Grant out with an injury and DJ Hall with a hurt hamstring.

Plus JP sucks balls.

 

[[_-T4RN1SH-_]]

Haha... Football Smash Boards eh.
I'm not a sports person so i had to say that XD

 

[theONEjanitor]

i dont know why every says that jpw sucks. its our offensive line that sucks. jpw is unstoppable when they play well. see: tennesse game

it was a TERRIBLE game. that's what it was. neither team played well, and bama would have had a chance if they hadn't made all those dumb penalties, and if DJ Hall hadn't dropped that pass in the endzone. and yeah, we had a lot of injuries. didn't they say there were 4 players out with injuries? oh and yes, Wilson should die in a fire.

 

[munkus beaver]

I was at the game. I have watched JP all season. Even when the pressure is not on him, he'll still overthrow his target over and over.

Brandon Cox had a better night than JP. Brandon ****ing Cox.


t Shannon: Yeah, those two penalties (roughing passer and kicker) definitely cost us the game.

EDIT: Wait a minute, our offensive line doesn't suck. It's not spectacular, but it doesn't suck. You want to see sucky? Try the Brody years. JP has been missing by miles without a blitz for a while now.

 

[moogle]

so there's this tournament coming up this weekend. It's in Phenix City, AL, near Auburn or Columbus, GA. Starts Sunday at 11 AM or so. It's likely it'll end around 8-10pm Sunday night. thread -> http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=114084

Also I have learned that there's gonna be a smashfest in Columbus on Saturday. I'd be interested in trying to leave early-ish on Saturday (like in the afternoon) to smash with lots of peoples. thread -> http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=126719

So far, we have 5 people going: duchock, the1janitor, saintrage, coach, and me. The 5 of us could fit in my car, but if more people want to go, we could take another car (saintrage's car?) Joot, Shannon, Will, Rob, Sensai, etc. etc. whoooo wants to go?

coach and I talked, and it is likely we're gonna get a hotel rather than getting housing with someone. All too often we stay up too late before a tourney and don't get enough sleep and don't play well the next day. A regular hotel is maybe $65 on average... split 5 ways would be like $13 for each person.

So, what's up?

 

[SK8orDIE]

I can't commit yet, but I'd love to go.

has iPod back. made Smash playlist. get ready.

(@ Majist: I sent it off for repair. iTunes was telling me it was corrupted when I tried to sync and then when i tried restoring the iPod, it failed. Apple couldn't find anything wrong, so they sent it back after restoring it to factory settings. iPod has worked since then; fingers crossed. I did do a complete uninstallation of iTunes+Quicktime and that seems to have helped, but I can't really prove one way or another.)

awwww man! alpha's so cool. i'd love to go but my schedule won't allow it. sorry moogle

what happened to your iPod?! :O

 

[[_-T4RN1SH-_]]

Waaa.... i would love to go but i live out of the way.
Arg... i havent played smash in such a long time.

whenever jpw has time in the pocket he almost always completes a pass. i dont think he had time in the pocket a single time against auburn. but he almost never has time in the pocket. our offensive line is terrible. really saban just keeps switching them up so we can't get any thing consistent. I think he moved cardwell to right tackle after he got used to being a center, and that didn't work at all alot of the pressure came from the right. jpw is constantly having to scramble, and our runners can barely garner any yards up the middle. and our poor running is one of the reasons that jpw can't do anything.

'whenever the pressures not on him'
you mean like the tennessee game?
or the arkansas game?

moogle pm me your phone #.

i will probably be at the same place you picked me up from last time.

many people need to go so the hotel so its not that much per person :-D i guess i should bring a blanket and pillow or sommin.

any alabama person want to team with me i really suck at teams just so you know :-P
i hope theres a low tier tournament, although I think my roy is better against high tiers ^_^

 

[Sensai]

Man...this weekend seems to be the most awesome Smash weekend for Alabamians in a while...

...and dammit all, I've been cursed with a 5 page Anthropology paper.

5 pages? Just write that in the car on the way there.

Just to back this thread up a little bit, were you planning on leaving Saturday for the smashfest, bunking in a hotel overnight and then heading to the tourny? Count me in for the whole shibang then. I thought one day of smashing just wasn't enough!

Also, just for future reference, were you planning on leaving Sunday or Monday?

you have a point there. there was one memerable play among many where the right tackle COMPLETELY missed his gap, resulting in a punishing sack.

holy crap! is that your final exam or something? cuz if it isn't, your professor's a nazi.

well, maybe not a nazi, but that sucks to have a paper that large at the very end of the semester. seriously, some professor's give you work as if their class is the only one you're taking!

 

[Bloshi]

Lol welcome to college.

 

[j00t]

Mslano thinks that 5 pages is nothing. Which in college terms it is pretty much, I would assume. The largest i've had to write so far is a 7 page research paper. Woop-de-doo, right mslano?

 

[Majist]

Lol welcome to college.

i know, but it still sucks :/

@jwt: is that single space or double-space? i had to write a four page minimum single space paper. i think mine went a little over 6... which would equal 12 pages double-spaced

 

[coach]

I haven't written a 7-page research paper since high school. I think the worst ever was in 7th grade when our teacher made us write a 500 word social studies essay where words that were less than 3 letters didn't count. It was just so stupid and it's not like in 7th grade I was able to develop a thesis or anything. Lol coolege.

In order to keep this thread ON topic... Yes we are planning on leaving Saturday and finding a place to stay. Please start to relate to us your plans so that we can better coordinate this happening. You shouldn't feel obliged to follow this post saying you'd love to go, but can't because I think pretty much everyone has made their intentions known at this point.

 

[munkus beaver]

20 page paper due in a little over a week and a 1500 word paper due next friday on a book I haven't read.

Pretty much. I wrote a 7 page paper yesterday in the four hours I had between a meeting and class.

 

[Bloshi]

20 pages O.o how broad is the subject?

And guys, I'll be showing up at Reflex's tournament because the Tennessee smashers up here are nice enough to pick me up on their way down.

 

[munkus beaver]

I'm going to be talking about how I believe that studying interactions involving anonymity and the internet will provide insight toward human nature.

 

[Majist]

well i thought i was gonna be able to come smash tonight, but i have a take-home final exam involving two letters to write that's due tomorrow. doesn't look like i'm gonna make it cuz i have class pretty soon. time won't allow me to get these done before class... waaaz.
