I'm in New Orleans for work this week so it's gonna go by fast. Staying on Iberville Street which is about 30 seconds from Bourbon. Was here last month for work and saw Kevin Sumlin on Bourbon Street. I walked up to him and said hey and asked him to take a selfie with me. He said real men don't take selfies. He was dead serious. I said real me don't lose 59-0 and walked away. He came across as very rude..

I think Coach S. is the best in the business, but this, "total secrecy" approach has hurt my excitement level.
Is it unreasonable, that four days before kickoff, I, as a fan, would like to know our starting lineup?
And the poor local media...God forbid they ask a question.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, but it ticks me off that Rece Davis, of ESPN, can ask coach a question, and he smiles and answers it, because of the national exposure. But let a local writer ask a question like, let's say, "Hey Coach, how is Jake looking at QB"?, and you get the look of disgust, and the ten minute lecture about how the process works and how why you're stupid for asking the question. These guys make their living asking these questions. They have no choice.
He should have some respect for that, being a poor boy from West Virginia. Just my opinion.
So, here's the process, that I've been processed, to believe.
DON'T get excited. One play at a time.
DON'T look at the scoreboard.
Nope Coach. I'm going to, and we better be ahead. I'm local.
Complain to ESPN, "AIGHT"

Just my opinion Force but I'm not sure using the word "selfie" is all that masculine.

Maybe next time just ask if you get get a photo of you two together shaking hands (?)

Guess cause I am old and have been through so many seasons; I am not really fired up about another season. Maybe it will get better after the first game.

A somewhat famous person shouldn't be walking Bourbon Street if he doesn't want to stop and take a picture. He wasn't taking the picture no matter how I phrased it. It wasn't that big of deal either way..

My wife is having surgery tomorrow so we hope to be at home recuperating on Saturday. We are going to show up at the primary hospital in Tallahassee all dressed in Crimson and White.
