One of the dumbest things I find about Tommy Tuberville is that his family decided it should be pronounced Tubberville, which is so much stupider than Twoberville, the way most people would automatically expect it to be pronounced.

Then in HS they would have called him "Spudburg," there really is no humane solution.

I thought it was pronounced TUBER-ville, as in Mr. Potato Head.

You'd think so, but Alabama orthography isn't what the rest of us would expect, being literate.

... grandmotherly child-rearing is "weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman." The next thing you know he'll say "It takes a village to raise a child."

I'm thinking that Indian grandma, the university provost, probably loves her daughter and is immensely proud of her to the point that she took family leave to care for her grandchild - even though her son-in-law is some gobshite who fucked a couch.

Am I hearing this right? Granny takes a sabbatical from her job to help with the baby. JD feels this was her destiny or, in the alternative, she could have sent them some of her pay for a sitter. WHAR personal responsibility? This is a guy who thinks every human being should procreate when they couldn’t manage one child on two way-more-than-median incomes…and goes into an MBAbble rant to explain his unpreparedness for parenthood.

I couldn't get over him letting his wife leave the house to work, that goes against all their trad wife rules, then I remembered that hypocrisy is their MO and "rules for thee, not for me". Vote 💙

I would not generalize, but my anecdotal experience is Indian grandmothers do factor largely in early child rearing especially when the mother is a professional. The couple that used to live in the house next to my building were both doctors and the grandma was the main baby caregiver.

"unadvertised"?

Do these people ever listen to what their mouth-holes are saying?

Evan, O our Evan!

Wish I was going to Chicago, honey chile.

Love you to pieces and a bushel and a peck.

And a peck. Fucking teacher's pet, that Evan.

I can't get enough of Tim Walz. I listen to one of his speeches to get going in the morning. I love it when he says, "Mind your own damn business!" in that Minnesotan accent. I cry, I laugh, I cheer. I feel energized. Oh, what a feeling!

Alabama has a long history of sending less-than-geniuses to the U.S. Senate. Recall Jeremiah Denton, who rode his status as a Vietnam POW into electoral success in the Reagan era. He once explained his opposition to a measure outlawing marital rape with, "When you get married, you kind of expect you're going to have a little sex."

Surely the University of Alabama has produced a liberal football player who could run against Tuberhead

Hmm- One grandmother did not seem to like children, the other did not seem to believe leftovers should go in the fridge, so my older sibs always warned me against eating over at her house when we visited. My step grandad was the best of the lot.

"Hopefully Vance can get unstuck from the couch and show up." Allegedly. And as a coach of football for nearly 40 years, I love to see Gov. Walz on the trail and look forward to him occupying Number One Observatory Circle. Tubbyvill?, Tooberville? Gooberville? is simply another guy who used his past fame to weasel into a cush job that provided an opportunity to accept even more grift and bribes to which some big-time colleges coaches have access. Woo, pig, sooey indeed.

Happy days are here again, example 127: we are going to have to bring back the Obama/Biden Pres/VP memes for this administration, starting with that picture up top. Caption suggestions, anyone?

Tuberville coached at U of Cincinnati, where are hopes are never irrationally high. He failed anyway.

Emil Muz's avatar

Actually, I would say UC has always been aspirationally over optimistic about their place in the sport. It's always been a rung on the ladder rather than a destination. I mean, one of their coaches in the 80's left on purpose to go coach HARVARD.
