“I believe that this is a fantastical world and that I can count only on what I feel. Therefore, I believe in unfounded sanctity and puppy dog tails.
I believe in naïveté, which gives me the delusion to work inconsistently and trains my mind and my tears to flow wistfully.
I believe in opportunistic dishonesty and versions of the truth, with which I can lose favor and draw the sardonic ire of my fellow men.
I believe in an addled mind, “fan-togetherness songs” and a fragile spirit that is only afraid during losing seasons, and in self-ascribed “clean” sports that develop these qualities.
I believe in unevenness of law for it protects the rights of players who may have run afoul it.
I believe in the self-righteous touch, which cultivates disdain with my fellow men and imbalanced emotion and brings solace during coaching searches.
And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I struggle to respect Auburn and dislike it.”
I believe in self-important statements that breed hypocrisy. Happy Iron Bowl week, everyone!
