God isn't interested in football. He might be interested in football players, coaches, other individuals, his desire is always that they glorify him with their life. Since Auburn winning means someone else has to lose and he loves all of us, invoking God in a teams success isn't really meaningful. God may help you as an individual be successful but the results of the games are due to preparation, talent and random luck.

Lets hope we all have plenty of all three this year.

This reminded me of a story I heart about a preacher. He was trying to decided if God was calling him to preach. So, one morning as he was walking to the barn to milk he asked the Lord for a sign. "Lord, if you are calling me to preach then let the cow kick the milk bucket over while I am milking."

Well, the cow kicked the bucket over and he became a preacher.

.
Wow! That story is eerily similar to how Chizik got hired as Auburn's coach! Except, as I heard it, Pat Dye was milking the cow, lost his pants in the barn, he kicked the bucket over while he was underneath the cow looking for them, the cow kicked him in the head and he came out of the barn and told Jay Jacobs "Hire Gene Cheezit".

When asked about Chizik comments about it being "God's appointment" that lead Chizik to *U, God responded with: "Hey you can't blame that crap on me. Try the guy downstairs."

I hope Chizik is sincere in his Christian beliefs, but it is hard not to laugh at a guy who professes such strong beliefs out of one side of his mouth while asking parents to let their boys come on recruiting trips alone out of the other side of his mouth. I would think a strong Christian man who works at a place that preaches family would want the parents around to help guide their children to becoming upstanding citizens. The hypocrisy is just too thick to ignore.
I think Chizik is coaching AU in pretty much the same style that OSU Jim Tressel coached. It is pray at every opportunity and praise god as often as possible. Which there is nothing wrong with that. But then the coaching style of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, run off the energy vampires, deny any involvement if anything goes wrong style of coaching will get you in trouble. That will catch up with you at some point for sure.

What amazes me is the title, "All In: What it Takes to be the Best." How does buying one championship team make Cheeze-Nip the best? It should more accurately read "All In: What it Takes to buy the Best." If that's so how about the coaches that win honestly? CNS should be working on a trilogy and CPB should have authored an encyclopedia set by now. :conf2:

I guss it's another one of his God proclamations.

Make no mistake, I was humbled by Auburn's decision. And I knew this had to be a God appointment because this whole thing just didn't make sense otherwise. I knew God had to be behind opening this door — there was no other way it would have been opened," Chizik said in the book.
I understand God's patience with the wicked, but I do wonder how he can be so patient with the pious...

"All In" is just another way of saying that you are willing to do anything and risk everything to win...

And one day, the entire booger nation will be crying over that spilt milk. ;)
