I don’t have a whole lot to say about last night’s game except that it was long, we had plenty of chances to win, and I Hate Rocky Top. That aside, a million armchair quarterbacks will be raking Shula over the coals today for the loss. Thats alright, hindsight is 20/20 and he’s still learning. I’d like to remind the people doing the bitching that, as much as we all hate to lose, we’re not really losing anything except a game. We’re not losing a shot at a bowl game or SEC title game… we’re just losing games. A few losses this season won’t kill us. Plus it’ll be good mental ammo for the team next year when we can actually go to the post-season. I’m just glad we have an off week. The week after that is the Mississippi State game — anyone want to go? I don’t have tickets, but I’d love to go over and tailgate a bit on Saturday. Takers? Anyone? Bueller?
Next weekend Bama Ultimate has a tournament in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It’ll be my first Ultimate tournament and should be lots of fun. I’ll either get to play a lot or take a lot of pictures, so it’ll be good either way.
I’ve also been working on a new feature — PeteHoliday.com will, starting tomorrow, have a weekly poll. It’ll also show up in the side bar here (there’s a test poll over there right now) and I’ll be sure to let y’all know when the new one is posted. Any suggestions for polls are welcome.
As today’s public service, let me explain to everyone that “Ya’ll” is not a word. It’s not even a good contraction. What the hell does it mean? “Ya will?” What will Ya do? WTF are you people thinking? The contraction of “you” and “all” that you’re looking for is “y’all” — it should come as no surprise to you that I’ve seen more southerners screw this up than yankees. Nevertheless, it is annoying. Stop doing it.
The Devil Went Down to Georgia
In order to keep an open mind, I am trying to avoid learning anything.
THANK YOU!!!! I hate it when people incorrectly contract \”y\’all.\” It just makes sense: do + not = don\’t. You put the apostrophe where the letter is taken out.
That\’s equally as irritating as \”.99c\” for a soda. Talk about a bargain - less than a penny for a 20 ounce?! I\’ve corrected the Bunny Bread store in Mobile (and made several loud comments in other stores) on this topic. Too bad they wouldn\’t really sell me 2 loaves for 2/3 of a penny…
Hmm….as a yankee I have no comment on this..but I felt like clogging up the comment box
We certainly don\’t say \”Y\’all\” but we do know how to spell it. Stupid Southerners.
Yall just aren\’t lazy enough. I\’ve never contracted yall and never will. What\’s the point?
Wish that I was on ol’ Rocky Top, down in the Tennessee hills! Ain’t no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top; ain’t no telephone bills!
ROCKY TOP, YOU’LL ALWAYS BE, POOR WHITE TRASH TO ME! FUCK YOU, ROCKY TOP! GO TO HELL TENNESSEE, GO TO HELL TENNESSEE!!!!!!!

*snicker* There will be no singing of rival fight songs in my comment box.
some how I knew that would happen…
Hmmm… here we don’t use y’all either. Although, my Greatgrandma and others use ‘yous’ as a word WAY too often. What are we, female sheep?
