A lot to unpack here, John. That was incredible music, no one could question that. But there was some pretty strong music later in that tour. As I know you know. Bold statement, though. Love it!

Yes, this is a good opener 😎 Wow

That is one helluva honorable mention, John. I’ll just add Promised Land from 8/27/72 to the list so we can get it out of the way, too.

Bobby Weir is on line one for you, PG 😂

Damn, I’m gonna have to fly to Lexington.

Um, I’d like a redaction of the redaction. The show opens with Shakedown, so we’re already way ahead of the curve. Rooster, Stagger Lee, To Lay Me Fucking Down, and LIG. Then a Foolish, a Dark Star (don’t diminish because of V2, that’s nonsense), and Wharf Rat, and a Lovelight… And we’re looking down our noses at this show?! Picasso does have stupid lyrics, but the music isn’t that bad. Victim is awesome. Not every song can be the Wheel. So as I said, please take back the take back! (I love our annual visit to the McNichols run, Tea 😎, sick shows, Brother)

Not a 1-2 Jerry Bobby combo a Jerry opener night a Bobby opener the next Not that there’s anything wrong with Alabama Greatest Story 😎

1 Jerry, 1 Bobby. Cold Rain Stranger I know, hard to pick just one, but let’s see what the vocal minority thinks.

So more of the games not counting? 😂 First it was Oregon shouldn’t count because it was “early”. Now a pass on Michigan because they weren’t ready? 🤣 How about too fucking bad? Michigan beat their ass and was ready. What are we supposed to say to them? I mean, I hate Michigan with the intensity of a thousand Suns, but THEY are a top 3 team. I think Georgia is. I think Alabama is. Are you playing a joke on me, or is this intended to be serious? I have an idea, it may sound familiar. I say instead of ranking teams based on recruiting rankings (done by a bunch of guys who could not get work actually coaching the game) or how they “look”, how about we actually let them play, and the results of those games matter? And not sure what difference you’re trying to clarify between Ohio State being top three and them making the playoffs? Those equate to the same thing, correct? (Same thing, get it! 😁)

Lol at Ohio State somehow still being top 3 in your world. Instead of who? One of the teams that would be in a 12 team playoff with them just beat their ass. Another team that would be in the 12 team playoff (Utah) beat the shit out of a team that beat Ohio State at home. Twice. I suggest Ohio State worry about being the best team in Pasadena on January 1. Before any more about Ohio State, who is that they beat/dominated? Sparty? Maryland?

If you’re saying that whoever the number 5 team is should be in instead of both teams from the SEC that just played each other, that is an opinion I could quickly get on board with. 😇

When other teams get their act together, they will beat the SEC powers (and we’re mainly talking about Alabama). It will also help when Nick Saban retires. Guy is special.

1. Alabama 2. Michigan 3. Georgia 4. Cincinnati If Michigan loses: 1. Alabama 2. Georgia 3. Cincinnati 4. ND

That would indeed be something, Goodbear. Fingers crossed for you, man.

Thanks, BS. Yeah, we are thrilled about Marcus Freeman. The notion that a head coach has to be tested at that level prior to taking over at ND is as stale as our last national championship. The guy is dynamic and engaging, not to mention hard working, both as a coach and just as importantly as a recruiter. Already getting some studs to commit, and now this will hold things together. We are also thrilled that Tommy Rees and most of the staff, in general, is staying. I appreciate Kelly for leaving ND in a MUCH better place than we he found it, and also for leaving haha. Guy is a knob. I don’t wish him any ill, though. I prefer Marcus to Fickell and to Campbell, so happy for all. Now we’ll see what happens this weekend and if Freeman’s first game is in the Playoffs or just a NY6 Bowl. His first regular season game at the Horseshoe, where he played. And, yeah, it seems a lot of our respective coaches were at each other’s school haha. Cool ish! DD

Agree that this will be a big test for Georgia. (Understatement.) If I had to pick a winner, I’d pick Georgia, but a Bama win would not surprise me much. Will be fun!

SLO is a cool place for those who have never been.

k. how many points will Bama score against Georgia?

They barely scored 10 in regulation against Auburn 3 days ago.

Ohio State is out unless Michigan, Cincinnati, Alabama, and Oklahoma State all lose. If that happens, they could be selected. That level of chaos would lead to 1. Georgia 2. ND 3. Baylor 4. Ole Miss or Ohio State or some Pac 12 team Your comment about Georgia is more of the same about eyeballing it. Georgia’s first test of the year comes Saturday. They are very much number 1, but seedings based on what they deserve is not how it works. And yes, BS, if Cincinnati loses, they are immediately out of the Playoffs.

Yeah it is. Good thing we went ahead and let Michigan and Ohio State actually play the football game. 😆 Congrats to Michigan on an impressive win (Tea!).

Yeah, I presume Jeff was unavailable.

Count me as optimistic that he’ll do a wonderful job.

Agree about Dave, he can commence liftoff. He comes to AZ and often joins Xtra Ticket when he does. Cubensis is very strong. Electric Waste Band is from OB in San Diego. Highly recommend seeing them if you’re ever down that way and looking to go richter on a Monday. Neat to see The Noodles make their way onto this bill. They’re a local PHX band. They’re good on a good night. Stu Allen is obviously a gifted player. Heck, just being high in Ventura for a few days is a damn good time, let alone wandering round the Fairgrounds (directly on the beach) with a bunch of hippies and live GD music going on. Get there!

Dream of a setlist. Wow!
