SORRY ABOUT

*****
I WAS SORRY TO HEAR OF THE DEATH OF JOE FRAZIER . "SMOKIN JOE" WAS MY MAN BACK IN THE DAY .

I COULD NOT IDENTIFY WITH ALI . HE WAS TALL ,FAST & SUPER TALENTED . FRAZIER WAS SHORT, STOCKY, & KIND OF CLUMSY. I COULD IDENTIFY WITH JOE .

ALI COULD FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY & STING LIKE A BEE WHILE FRAZIER CHARGED LIKE AN ANGRY RHINO .

I KNEW HOW TOUGH IT WAS TO GIVE AWAY SEVERAL INCHES & TAKE SOME JABS TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO BANG .

I COULD ONLY IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO DANCE AROUND STICKING &MOVING . I KNEW THE FEELING OF BRINGING RELENTLESS PRESSURE TO WEAR THE OPPONENT OUT .

NOT MUCH FLOATING ,BUT A WHOLE LOT OF WADING . NOT A LOT OF JABBING BUT A LOT OF HOOKING .

BRINGING THE HEAT UNTIL THE MAN WEARS OUT , THEN YOU PUT HIM AWAY . GO UNTIL THE OTHER MAN CAN'T GO ANYMORE .THAT WAS FRAZIER .

JOE; I LOVED YOU THEN & I LOVE YOU NOW .

*****
SORRY TO HEAR OF THE DEATH OF CHARLIE LEA . A SUPER GUY & FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY . GONE MUCH TOO EARLY .

*****
SORRY TO HEAR OF THE PENN STATE TROUBLE . I AM NOT A FAN OF JOE PATERNO, BUT HE HAS COACHED AT PENN STATE EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.

THAT IS SAYING A LOT SINCE I AM AN OLD MAN NOW .

A GREAT WRONG HAPPENED AT PENN STATE . I DON'T KNOW WHO SHOULD HAVE DONE WHAT ,BUT KNOW THOSE EVENTS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN .

I CAN NOT BELIEVE PENN STATE COACHES WOULD KNOWINGLY ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN . I ALSO CANNOT BELIEVE THE COACHES DID NOT KNOW .

ABOUT ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR THE VICTIMS .

***** HOW ABOUT A LITTLE GOOD NEWS ?

JAMES FRANKLIN IS DOING A GREAT JOB AT VANDERBILT . THE DORES ARE 5 - 5 .

YOU SAY SO WHAT . BIG DEAL .

NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND . SINCE 1980 VANDY HAS HAD ONLY TWO WINNING SEASONS . 1982 & 2008 . FANS THAT IS 26 YEARS BETWEEN WINNING YEARS .

IF VANDY CAN BEAT TENNESSEE OR WAKE FOREST , IT WILL BE BOWL TIME . VANDERBILT HAS BEEN BOWLING TWICE IN 30 YEARS .

ONE OF THE BOWLS WAS IN NASHVILLE. THE C'DORES HAVEN'T BEEN OUT OF TOWN SINCE 1982 .

MAYBE THIS YEAR VANDY CAN MAKE IT TO MEMPHIS . DON'T GAS UP THE TRUCK OR GET YOUR GRACELAND COUPONS YET . VANDY HAS ONLY BEAT THE VOLS TWICE IN 30 YEARS .

I LOVE TENNESSEE BUT I'M PULLING FOR VANDY TO MAKE IT . IS ONCE EVERY DECADE TOO MUCH TOO ASK ?

THANK YOU FOR READING !!!!!!
