Off-season off topic: The days of the week

[49r]

Okay I know I posted it earlier in this thread but, today seems like a good day for this song.

 

 

The 21st night of September.

 

 

Or maybe you prefer the Russian version instead?

September 21, /22 is the autumnal bullshit day.  It used to be the 21st, but everything has changed. Anyway, I digress. It's now fall!

For you classic country music fans out there. I know you're out there.   Something I learned just in the last few days.  George Jones was supposed to be on the airplane that crashed killing Patsy Cline.  She kicked him off because he ate her fried chicken.  And T.O. gave up fried chicken because they told him it would be the death of him...

This video is pretty grainy, but it's cool.

Sunset tonight, which is basically now, marks the start of Yom Kippur.  The highest of Jewish Holy Days.  It's the Day of Atonement.  A quick sports story about this day:

 

Hall of famer Sandy Koufax, one of the most famous Jewish athletes in American sports, made national headlines when he refuses to pitch in the first game of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur.  When Koufax's replacement Don Drysdale was pulled from the game for poor performance, he told Dodger's manager Walter Alston, "I bet you wish I was Jewish, too."

Cip I was a big fan of Sandy Koufax.  He was one of the best lefties ever.  

That said, I would place Sandy #2 behind Mark Spitz...

Way too quiet around here.  I'm gonna post movie clips and songs about how great a shooting team the Huskers will be this season, until the conversation changes to something way more important.

I don't care how much money Mick has, he's got no shot. Seriously.

With a great song (that I don’t think ended up in the movie closing credits, did it?)!

I had a GF who was born on the same day as Game 7 of the ‘65 Series. Dad had tickets to the Ballgame and went there instead of the Hospital.

Was your girlfriends name Sandy, by any chance?

Finally, the basketball season is here. Post the song you think mostly likely tells the story of 23-24 Nebraska Basketball.  I'll start.

OK, maybe this one is cliche, but I get knocked down and I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down.

 

(Complete with pissing the night away.)
