Ain’t no one gonna blow out these candles. If it had candles.

Travis and I used to have a joke and I think the punch line was “Polyvinyl.”

Second of WBE’s five questions for spring, cliched as the concept might be. Previously: Is Nick Fairley ready? No preamble: 4. ARE MIKE MCNEIL AND AAIRON SAVAGE AND TRULY 100 PERCENT AND READY TO KICK ASS? Because if they are, look out. If they’re not, though, uh … redirect to Auburn fans: look out. Because [...]
