GIMME COFFEE!!! Anni doan wan none of that hipster crap served to me by some teenage barista with a nosering and blue hair. I want raw unleaded coffee that's going to stain the inside of my mouth instead of this frothy nonsense with some fake Italian-sounding name! I want that firehose blast of caffeine to kick start my butt and resuscitate of my blood sugar level long enough till I can stuff a stale Albertson's doughnut down my gullet. COFFEE WILL HELP US SURVIVE! (Just ask the 49ers this morning.)
AHHHHHH!!! Now I can enjoy the Monday Morning Required Reading...

The team topped Lou Holt's Hogs in the 1980 Sugar Bowl to remain undefeated but won the championship when Ohio State fell to Southern California in the Rose Bowl.
While we are out here at midfield: Also honored during the Arkansas game was linebacker Woodrow Lowe who set the Tide's all-time record for tackles in a single season with 134 stops in 1973.
A Sea of Blue looks on the bright side: "Alabama is scary. Just not as scary as Florida."
