It's been a while since I lasted posted over here and this thread seems as good as any to say hi again make a few points:
1) We're looking forward to the Sugar Bowl. Nothing but respect for what the Tide has accomplished in the last few years. The game will be a good measuring stick for our guys. As has been noted in another thread, we've been decimated by injuries all year but that's given us a chance to look at some freshmen who have been doing decently. We're thin in places we'd rather not be. Hopefully, we can make a game of it. Seriously.
2) If reports that Coach Saban is staying are true, mad props to him for not falling for the ut looney-bin. I had a gut feeling he was too smart for that merry-go-round.
3) Mack Brown is able to stave off ( so far) being replaced by the Board of Regents because, as some have suggested, "he knows where all the bodies are buried." (There have been "issues") We're ecstatic about this because, among other things, it gives us the opportunity to give him a proper send off next year.....or whenever he goes.
3) In re Texan arrogance: They're told from birth that they are superior to others; by parents, educators, propaganda, etc. When they finally realize they are superior to nothing and get that hazy, confused look in their eyes...then the hissy fit ensues. This fit lasts for about 50 years.
4) The Hill Country "Cedar Fever" is real. I've been afflicted on occasion.
5) In re "smack talk": As in all things, my motto is: "Don't judge all of them by the worst of them". On either side.
6) Always a pleasure to interact with fan bases such as yours. You know how to "act like you've been there before"....because you have.
6) Here's to a well played, injury free game.
BOOMER SOONER!
