Ecclesiastes 3

Well, what can I say?  It was just time for Alabama to win!  Roll Tide!

All the prophetic people said that 2008 was a year for new beginnings.  I must admit I’ve thought they missed the wagon most of the year, however, I know am beginning to see some new beginnings.  Sometimes, they just don’t look the way we think they should. 

So for all my Auburn friends, forgive me for the self- indulgence, but I do remember how you’ve been rubbing it in for the last six years.  So since this is my blog, ROLL TIDE ROLL! 

Early in the year, even my Alabama friends said that my post on college football was good and they enjoyed it, but not to count on Alabama winning too many.  You know, enjoy it while you can.  So 12-0 later, I’m still enjoying it. 

And to see McElroy, a freshman, throw that touchdown pass to Maze makes me think perhaps our time in college football has arrived again.

In my younger days, Paul Bear Bryant was the coach at Alabama.  We loved the glory days and the rivalry with Auburn and Shug Jordan. Of course, we usually won in those days which is much more fun than losing.   Sometimes, Alabama fans have glorified Bear to the point of almost making him like Jesus.  That is to our shame, but it is not to our shame to honor a man who was known for working harder than his anyone, expecting you to give your very best and then some, being a gentleman to women, loving and honoring his mother and giving his life to something he loved.  Read more...
