I had to share this here because everyone (Bama) will understand the feeling.

Saturday before last, I was at home trying to clear brush and get some repairs done around the house (no Bama football on) while my wife and daughter went shopping. Did I mention that I was having a bad week to go along with all of this activity? Well, the phone rang and it was my wife, I was short w/her and told her I had to go. About 30 minutes later, the phone rang again. It was my wife again. She said hold on I have someone who wants to talk to you. A voice comes over the phone and says, "Hey D (my name's Derek), this is Deuce and Prince Wembly talking BAMA football and keeping it real!" OMG! :eek2: IT'S DAVID FREAKING PALMER!!!!! We talked for about 5 minutes. I told him several times (like a little kid) what an honor it was to talk to him and Prince. I said thank you to both for all that they did for our University and for winning the 1993 Sugar. My wife was in line (still don't know why) at a autograph signing at one of our malls and asked Deuce if he would talk to me since I couldn't be there. What a class act! BTW, my wife is a HUGE gator fan and stood in line for quite a while to do this. I'm a lucky guy.
 
That's awesome. Friday, while my wife was at work she gets a phone call from her supervisor who was in Atlanta for the SEC championship game. Her boss tells her that he wants her to talk to someone. When he handed the phone to the person, it was Jay Barker on the other end. She was so excited. She said they talked for about ten minutes and said that he was nothing but nice. He talked about how excited he was for Coach Shula and where the program was headed.
