plansrme Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 For the Auburn fan in your life (and if you don't have one, perhaps you should enlarge your circle of friends), the words of the late, great Rod Bramblett (the voice of the Auburn Tigers, who died in a car accident this year) as he called the greatest play ever in the Iron Bowl 6 years ago, immortalized as art. I have a version of this for my brother and his family. If you don't live in the South, the game was tied and headed into overtime until Alabama griped about a call to get one second put back on the clock so they could try a 56-yard field goal. The field goal missed, but AU had put speedy Chris Davis in the end zone, and he returned the missed field goal 109 yards, from the back of the end zone, for a touchdown to win the game with no time on the clock, 34-28. Many people donated $109 to a gofundme for Rod's children (his wife also died in the car accident) in recognition of his call. It is not uncommon for Auburn fans to watch a game on TV muted so they can hear the call on their radios (or computers, more likely), so a lot of people heard Rod's call it even though they were watching on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is this insane play that similarly ended the game the RIGHT WAY in 1982. It was the Big Game, Cal Bears vs. Stanford trees, and it involved a tuba player that accidentally went onto the field before the end. It is immortalized in a shirt that I have, with it written out like a playbook diagram, and titled “I remember The Play.” And someone posted footage of this, years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cool thing is that the beads on it spell out "My Heart is Listening" in Morse Code. It's pretty & unique, imo. In a newsletter I received from her, she said, " *In your note at purchase, please include the name of the person you're gifting and I'll send along a handwritten note as well!" http://www.sarahaili.com/store What a snazzy bracket, Stacia! I wasn't familiar with the artist so listened to one of her songs; she's quite talented. I bet you had fun at the concert.

linders Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Any shirt from https://birdsarentreal.com/. DS16 sent me a text, "Can you get this shirt for me?" The logo was Birds Aren't Real. "Huh?" says I. Turns out it is an "organization" that is a parody on the Flat Earth Society, the No One Landed On the Moon Society, etc. Go to the link, read the history. Bottom line, there are no real birds left, they are all artificial surveillance drones courtesy of the government. It's hilarious. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Not sure how unique it is, and it is very expensive, but I got my husband a komado grill. It is like the big green egg thing you see advertised. I did some "homework" and got the one I think is best for us (and has a lifetime warranty.) He has been talking about this dang thing for 8 years but doesn't want to spend the $$ (or won't spend it on himself). My son suggested we get one for him. Costco has a traveling roadshow and they had them there. I got one yesterday. The guys loaded it, the neighbor said I could put it in his garage, so my neighbor wanted to show off and unload it himself! 😂 That was a bit entertaining as it is 200 pounds. Anyway, I plan to wrap up a couple of pieces of charcoal and put them under the tree and make them from Santa for being bad and then direct him to the neighbor's garage somehow for the rest of the gift. He is going to be so surprised. I hate even having to wait 11 more days to give it to him! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
