***** THE FIRST IS THE BEST
THE FIRST WEEK OF FOOTBALL IS THE BEST WEEK OF FOOTBALL .
WHY ?
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS UNDEFEATED , NO ONE HAS LOST A GAME
ALL HOPES ARE HIGH AND ALIVE . NO DREAMS HAVE DIED .
ALL PLAYERS ,COACHES & FANS STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS IS OUR YEAR .
OH! IT IS A WONDERFUL TIME !!! BUT IT COMES TO AN END FRIDAY NIGHT - NIGHT OF THE FIRST GAME .
AFTER THE OPENING DATE HOPES ARE DASHED , DREAMS HAVE ENDED, AND ONE HALF THE TEAMS ARE LOSERS. TRUE FOR HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE ,& PRO .
SO ENJOY , ENJOY THE OPENING WEEK OF FOOTBALL SEASON. IT WILL NEVER BE BETTER & IT IS OVER SO SOON .
***** IS THIS THE BEST WE CAN DO ?
I AM NOT A DEMOCRAT NOR REPUBLICAN .
BUT I AM VERY DISTURBED IF THESE CANDIDATES ARE THE BEST WE HAVE .
AT THIS TIME THE FRONTRUNNERS ARE HILLARY CLINTON & DONALD TRUMP .
SAY IT AINT SO JOE . GIVE ME A BREAK !
HIL-LIE-REE CLINTON IS THE MOST UNTRUSTWORTHY PERSON TO EVER SEEK THE OVAL OFFICE .
SHE IS A POWER-DRUNK, DISHONEST, PERSON WHO IS A COMPLETE STRANGER TO THE TRUTH .
LORD HELP US IF SHE IS OUR PRESIDENT . WE WILL NEED IT .
DONALD "DUMP" TRUMP IS NOT IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS WE ARE .
TRUMP IS A RICH MAN WHO IS A REALITY TV STAR WHO LIVES IN A FANTASY WORLD .
TELL THE TRUTH - WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE IN A WORLD WITH DUMP CALLING THE SHOTS .
TRUMP IS ALREADY PLANNING A THIRD PARTY RUN IF THE REPUBLICANS DON'T CHOOSE HIM .
HIL-LIE-REE AND DUMP ARE IN THIS TOGETHER . THEY KNOW THAT EVEN IF THE REPUBLICANS CAN FIND A CANDIDATE THAT IS NOT A CLOWN, THAT A THIRD PARTY WOULD DRAIN VOTES FROM CLINTON'S OPPONENT
WHAT HAS HIL-LIE-REE PROMISED DUMP IN THIS DEAL ?
SECRETARY OF STATE ?
WHAT A REVOLTING SICK JOKE THESE TWO ARE !
I HOPE AND PRAY WE CAN DO BETTER .
****** LOVE Y'ALL CATCH YOU LATER

JUST BEEN THINKING
*** WHO IS THE BETTER COACH ?
NICK SABAN OR URBAN MEYER ?
BOTH HAVE WON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AT TWO SCHOOLS .
MEYER AT FLORIDA & OHIO STATE
SABAN AT LSU & ALABAMA
SABAN HAS WON 4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS WHILE MEYER HAS WON 3 .
OVERALL NICK HAS WON 75% OF HIS GAMES AND IS 9 - 1 IN CONFERENCE OR NATIONAL TITLE GAMES . SABAN'S BOWL RECORD IS 8 - 8
MEYER HAS WON 85% OF HIS GAMES AND IS 8 - 2 IN BOWL GAMES .
SABAN HAS WON BIG AT TWO OF HIS FOUR COACHING GIGS .
MEYER HAS WON BIG AT ALL FOUR OF HIS COACHING STOPS .
NICK IS 63 URBAN IS 51
FROM WHAT I KNOW BOTH ARE REALLY BIG TIME TURDS .
WHO IS THE BETTER ? YOU TELL ME !
*** TALKING A LITTLE FOOTBALL
YOU GO TO A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME , THERE IS A 90 % CHANCE YOU WILL BE WATCHING A SHOTGUN SPREAD OFFENSE .
HIGH SCHOOL COACHES MUST BELIEVE IT IS A RULE THAT YOU MUST RUN THE SHOTGUN SPREAD .
THE SPREAD IS GREAT IF YOU HAVE TYPE OF PLAYERS NECESSARY FOR THE OFFENSE .
UNLESS YOU HAVE A DUAL THREAT QB AND RECEIVERS WHO CAN BEAT ONE ON ONE COVERAGE, YOU BETTER BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE.
TRY A WISHBONE WITH TWO SPLIT ENDS .
ALL YOU NEED IS A GOOD -RUNNING QB .
YOU CAN BE MORE CONSISTENT , & WORK THE CLOCK &CONTROL FIELD POSITION .
YOU ALSO FORCE THE DEFENSE TO PLAY ASSIGNMENT FOOTBALL . YOU CAN GET THE MATCH-UPS THAT BEST WORK FOR YOU .
BUM PHILLIPS ONCE TOLD ME " DO WHAT YOUR PLAYERS CAN DO"
*** BLACK LIVES MATTER WHITE LIVES MATTERS
WHAT ALSO MATTERS IS - DON'T DO THINGS THAT CAUSE RUN-INS WITH THE LAW !
*** SO LONG FROM ME AND MY FRIEND BILLY CLYDE .

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** 43 YEARS AGO I MARRIED CHILI- PEPPER . OTHER THAN HEARING THE CALL OF JESUS, THE DECISION TO MARRY CHILI PEPPER HAS BEEN THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME .
THROUGH 43 YEARS OF LIFE ,BOTH SUNNY DAYS AND STORMY TIMES SHE HAS BEEN THE ANCHOR OF MY LIFE.
DURING OUR TIME WE LIVED IN 3 STATES ,BOUGHT & SOLD 4 HOUSES , NUMEROUS CARS , RAISED A WONDERFUL SON ALL WITH LITTLE HELP FROM ME .
JESUS PAID IT ALL - CHILI PEPPER DID IT ALL .
SHE FILLED THE DIFFICULT ROLE OF A COACH'S WIFE ,MAKING A HOME IN 12 DIFFERENT HOUSES TEN IN THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS .
CHILI PEPPER WAS ALWAYS A ROCK IN TIMES OF STRESS.
THE LORD WALKED US THROUGH FOUR MAJOR MEDICAL EVENTS . THREE FOR ME ,ONE FOR CHILI PEPPER .
DURING THOSE LONG HOSPITAL STAYS , SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE .
DURING 43 YEARS SHE HAS BEEN THE BEST PARTNER ANYONE COULD HAVE .
EVERYTHING WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED CHILI PEPPER GETS ALL CREDIT .
FOR 43 YEARS IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE
I HOPE WE HAVE MORE YEARS TOGETHER .
THANK YOU CHILI PEPPER !

*** HERE AS PROMISED ARE THE OVER/UNDERS FOR THE SEC -WEST .
ALL TOTALS HAVE A HOOK SO YOU CAN'T SIT ON THE FENCE . YOU HAVE TO DECLARE OVER OR UNDER.

ALABAMA - 9.5

ALABAMA - 12 LSU - 8 OLE MISS -9 STATE -10 A&M -8
THERE YOU HAVE IT .WRITE YOUR PICKS DOWN & SEE HOW YOU DO
*** FIRST DAY OF FOOTBALL AND ALREADY PLAYERS ARE OVER-HEATING & BEING HAULED TO THE HOSPITAL .
WHY ? THE SEASON IS TOO LONG . DUE TO TOO MANY PLAYOFF GAMES .
IT TAKES FIVE GAMES TO WIN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP . THAT IS ANOTHER HALF-SEASON .
THAT MANY PLAYOFF GAMES MEANS YOU START GAMES IN MID AUGUST AND FINISH IN MID DECEMBER .
IT IS TOO HOT WHEN YOU START AND TOO COLD WHEN YOU FINISH .
SIMPLE SOLUTION - REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TEAMS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS .
MANY TEAMS WITH LOSING RECORDS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS .
THE ONLY REASON FOR THESE PLAYOFF GAMES IS TO MAKE MONEY .
BUT DUE TO POOR MATCH-UPS AND LONG TRAVEL COSTS THESE GAMES ARE BEGINNING TO LOSE MONEY .
THE SYSTEM WILL CHANGE QUICKLY WITH A KICKS IN THE POCKETBOOK .

BOOK REPORT
*** YOU KNOW I READ A LOT . HERE IS A SHORT SUMMARY OF SOME OF MY RECENT READS
1. HELLHOUNDS ON HIS TRAIL
THE STORY OF THE PURSUIT OF JAMES EARL RAY . I AM CONVINCED THAT RAY KILLED MLK BUT STILL HAVE QUESTIONS .
SUCH AS MOTIVE , MONEY , & ASSISTANCE .
RAY TOOK MANY SECRETS TO HIS GRAVE .
2. NOT A FAN
THIS ASKES THE QUESTION , ARE YOU A FAN OF JESUS OR ARE YOU A FOLLOWER OF JESUS ?
THERE IS A HUGH DIFFERENCE WITH ETERNAL IMPLICATIONS .
A FAN IS AN ENTHUSEASTIC ADMIRER WHILE A FOLLOWER IS A COMMITTED DISCIPLE .
ARE YOU JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE DURING THE GOOD TIMES ?
OR , ARE YOU COMMITTED TO FOLLOW WHEN THE COST ARE HIGH ?
THE BOOK CALLS FOR SELF EXAMINATION TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE A FAN OR A FOLLOWER .
3. JOE & MARILYN
THE STORY OF THE TROUBLED RELATIONSHIP OF JOE DIMAGGIO & MARILYN MONORE .
TWO SUPERSTARS TRY TO DEAL WITH THIER STARDOM TO MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK .
THEY LASTED NINE MONTHS BUT LOVED EACH OTHER UNTIL DEATH STILLED THIER HEARTS .
4. WHO IS THIS MAN ?
AN EXAMINATION OF JESUS DISPLAYING HOW DIFFERENT JESUS WAS AND IS .
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS WERE RADICAL THEN AND ARE RADICAL TODAY .
IF YOU FOLLOW JESUS ,YOU WILL MARCH TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER FAR OUT OF STEP WITH TODAY'S SOCIETY .
UNTIL NOW IN OUR CULTURE THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE COST TO FOLLOW JESUS BUT THAT DAY IS VANISHING .
SOON TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS WILL BE EXPENSIVE INDEED !
5. TWO I WANT TO READ
UNRIVALED - DETAILS THE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL RIVALERY BETWEEN U-CONN & TENNESSEE
HOW TO THINK LIKE A CHAMPION - DEALS WITH THE MIND SET OF WINNERS , HOW TO REACH YOUR BEST
*** UNTIL THEN THE MEDINA MYSTIC SAYS SO-LONG

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** TIME TO PART
TSSAA WILL VOTE IN JULY TO DETERMINE IF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS WILL PLAY IN POST-SEASON COMPETITION .
RIGHT NOW ABOUT 25 PRIVATE SCHOOLS COMPETE FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP .
THIS SHOULD NOT BE .
PUBLICS AND PRIVATES ARE DIFFERENT ANIMALS AND SHOULD BE CLASSED APART AT PLAYOFF TIME .
PLAY WHOEVER YOU WISH IN THE REGULAR SEASON BUT PLAY YOUR OWN KIND IN THE POST-SEASON .
THE PUBLICS AND PRIVATES ARE JUST TOO DIFFERENT TO EVER HAVE A LEVEL FIELD .
HOW MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS WOULD MILAN HAVE WON IF NOT FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS PLAYING IN THE PUBLIC LEAGUE ?
*** STARTED WITH ADAM & EVE
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS RECRUIT PLAYERS .
THE FIRST CASE OF RECRUITMENT WAS SATAN REELING IN ADAM & EVE IN THE GARDEN .
EVERY SINCE HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN PLAYING THERE HAS BEEN RECRUITING .
TOWNS WITH LARGE EMPLOYERS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GIVE PARENTS JOBS TO BRING KIDS INTO THIER SCHOOL DISTRICT .
SOMETIMES MINSTERS HAVE BEEN CALLED TO AREA CHURCHES BECAUSE THE SON WAS A PLAYER . EX - STEVE SPURRIOR .
SOMEPLACES A WEALTHY BOOSTER PROVIDES PLAYERS , FACILITES , & EVERYTHING ELSE . EX - BOLTON HIGH SCHOOL .
ON & ON
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THIS . I THINK A PERSON SHOULD BE ABLE TO ATTEND ANY SCHOOL THEY WISH .
IF A PRIVATE SCHOOL WANTS TO LET A PLAYER ATTEND FREE OF CHARGE , THAT IS FINE WITH ME .
IF A PRIVATE SCHOOL CAN CONVINCE PAYING PARENTS THAT THIER KIDS WILL SIT WHILE THE RECRUITS PLAY , MORE POWER TO THEM
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES ARE GOING TO HAVE THE PROGRAMS THEY WANT .
IF A TOWN WANTS TO BE A POWERHOUSE IN FOOTBALL AND IS WILLING TO COMMIT THE RESOURCES TO DO SO - GO FOR IT .
SCHOOLS WILL CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR .
LET PEOPLE CHOOSE SCHOOLS THAT EMPHASIZE THE THINGS THE PEOPLE WANT .WHETER IT BE , ACADEMICS , ARTS , OR ATHLETICS
OPEN ENROLLMENT CAN SOLVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
IT WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO SEE THE TSSAA DECISION .
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
