ONLY WORDS

****** THEY'RE ONLY WORDS ,BUT WORDS ARE ALL I HAVE TO TAKE YOUR HEART AWAY  . THAT IS WHAT THE BEE-GEES SANG .

THE SEC FOOTBALL COACHES ARE SINGING THAT REFRAIN TODAY AS LOUD AS THEY CAN .

THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN THE COACHES TOSS AS MUCH VERBAL MANURE AS POSSIBLE ON THEIR LOYAL FANS .

EVERY YEAR WE HEAR THE SAME SONG ,SOMETIMES FROM A NEW VOICE . DON'T GET EXCITED IT'S ONLY WORDS .

WORDS YOU HEAR OVER AND OVER , SUCH AS  :

1. WE ARE GOING IN A NEW DIRECTION .

COACHES KEEP SAYING THAT BUT IT IS THE SAME - O - SAME - O  YEAR AFTER YEAR . NOTHING CHANGES BUT THE COACHES .

2. WE HAVE A GREAT RECRUITING CLASS

NEVER ONCE HAVE I HEARD A COACH SAY WE DIDN'T GET A SINGLE PLAYER WE WANTED . WE JUST TOOK THE LEFT - OVERS . GUYS NOBODY ELSE WANTED .

3. WE HAVE A NEW OFFENSE

WE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT MOST EVERY TEAM IN THE NATION IS DOING . THE FANS CAN'T BE TOO CRITICAL AS LONG AS WE FOLLOW THE CROWD .
WE VISITED THE NATIONAL CHAMPS AND COPIED THEIR OFFENSE PLAY BY PLAY .

MAYBE ,WE SHOULD HAVE PICKED UP A FEW OF THEIR PLAYERS . THESE PLAYS SEEM TO WORK BETTER WITH THEIR PLAYERS .

4. WE ARE GOING TO CONTROL TEMPO .

YES, WE ARE GOING TO PLAY FAST .  WE WILL RUN THE OTHER TEAM RAGGED .

ON THE OTHER HAND IF WE PLAY FAST THAT SORRY OFFENSE WON'T BE OUT THERE LONG BEFORE THEY CAN HIDE ON THE BENCH AND RECOVER FROM THOSE CONCUSSIONS .

5. WE ARE GOING TO PLAY WITH PRIDE AND ENTHUSIASM .

THIS RAGGEDY  BUNCH WILL HAVE TROUBLE MAKING IT OUT OF THE TUNNEL WITHOUT FALLING DOWN . THEY ARE ABOUT AS ENTHUSIASTIC AS A GUY WAITING ON A PROCTOLOGY  EXAM .

6. OUR FAMILY IS VERY HAPPY HERE .

MY WIFE MAVIS JEAN IS ALREADY WORKING WITH A REALTOR AND THE KIDS ARE ASKING IF THEY CAN GO LIVE WITH THEIR GRANDPARENTS .

I DIDN'T KNOW PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIVED LIKE THIS . THE NEXT STOP HAS TO BE BETTER .

7. WE ARE MUCH IMPROVED

MY LORD , WE COULD NOT BE ANY WORSE .  I GUESS WE COULD BEAT MOST ALL HIGH SCHOOLS BUT THERE IS NOT MANY OF THOSE ON AN SEC SCHEDULE.  

SEE IT IS ONLY WORDS . WORDS ARE ARE MEANINGLESS .

YOU WANT TO BE BETTER ,GET BETTER PLAYERS .

IT'S NOT YOUR OFFENSE OR DEFENSE , IT'S YOUR PLAYERS .

HUGH FREEZE HAS IMPROVED OLE MISS BECAUSE HE IS GETTING BETTER PLAYERS . HOW HE GETS THEM I DON'T KNOW . BUT HE IS .

EVERY YEAR COACHES GO TO CLINICS AND GET NEW PLAYS . MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A PLACE TO GO GET PLAYERS .


LET'S PUT AWAY THE WORDS AND START PLAYING !!!!!!!!
