Oh my. What a day.
Thank you, Tim Petty. You got me here, literally.
Tomorrow I will witness a football game at Bryant-Denny Stadium on the campus of the University of Alabama. The Crimson Tide will be the home team. My beloved Ole Miss Rebels will be the visiting team.
I don’t think the Rebs will win. I hate to pick against them. Hopefully I will be the jinx. I doubt it.
Today we walked into the Bear Bryant Museum. I saw my life flash before my eyes. I knew it was going to be a good time. I didn’t know it would be a great time that would remind me of so many great moments.
I was humbled as I looked at this knowing I have stood on that field and kicked a couple footballs.
Coach Bryant’s office. Enough said.
One of many displays that need few words.
In 1985 Van Tiffin kicked a 52 yard field goal to beat Auburn. I was a senior in high school and this was the shoe that made that kick true. I was so impressed with this display.
Just to appreciate.
The tackle that won the Sugar Bowl and the National Championship in 1979.
Coach Bryant’s last game was the Liberty Bowl December 29, 1982.
And now the picks for the games this week with little commentary:
Michigan beats Rutgers…If not, Harbaugh rents a UHaul.
Oklahoma beats Texas Tech…Hurts looks good.
Clemson beats UNC…Hurts me.
Purdue beats Minnesota…Cos it is a home game.
Notre Dame beats Virginia…Might be a good one.
South Carolina beats Kentucky…Hurts me again.
UCLA beats Arizona…UCLA was the ship that found itself last week.
Iowa beats Middle Tennessee…Go Hawkeyes!
Boston College beats Wake Forest…I think.
Auburn beats Miss. State…War Eagle!
Indiana beats Michigan State...I still believe and I am a homer.
Georgia Tech beats Temple...Tech needs this one.
Southern Cal beats Washington…And many think I am crazy.
Bama beats Ole Miss…Hope I am bad wrong.
Have a good weekend all. Enjoy the games and when you can…
Speak the Rights.
