IT'S ONLY A GAME

***** WE FAIL TO REMEMBER THAT ALL SPORTS ARE JUST GAMES . WE HAVE DISTORTED THE MEANING AND REMOVED THE JOY OF SPORTS .

WHAT MAKES ME THINK OUR PRIORITIES ARE OFF-TRACK ?

 1. STATE SUPREME COURT HEARING CASE OF ELIGIBILITY OF HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER .   YOU WOULD THINK THE HIGH COURT HAD BIGGER FISH TO FRY SUCH AS CRIME , HEALTH CARE , POVERTY , & SO FORTH.

2. ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL COACHES FIGHT AFTER THE GAME . A NASTY FIGHT . THE COACH THAT THREW AN OVERHAND RIGHT THAT MIKE TYSON WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF ,COULD HAVE A FUTURE IN MMA NOW THAT HE IS NO LONGER COACHING .

3. A SCHOOL BUILDS A SIXTY MILLION DOLLAR STADIUM FOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM ONLY . WONDER HOW THEY ARE FIXED ON BOOKS , PCS , AND OTHER LEARNING NEEDS .

4. IN MOST STATES THE HIGHEST PAID EMPLOYEE IS A COACH . THE LIST OF COACHES MAKING ONE TO SIX MILLION DOLLARS IS LONGER THAN MY HOSPITAL BILL STATEMENT WHICH IS MOST TIMES 3-4 PAGES .

THE GAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN & ENJOYABLE . THEY SHOULD BE AN ESCAPE  FROM THE STRESS AND PRESSURE OF REAL LIFE. INSTEAD IT IS AN EXPENSIVE, EMOTIONAL ORDEAL .

THE DOLLAR RULES ALL . COACHES WILL CHEAT TO KEEP THOSE HIGH PAY JOBS . PLAYERS WILL GIVE UP HEALTH AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO GET AN EDGE , WHOLE FAMILIES WILL MAKE SACRIFICES TO ENSURE A CHILD CAN HAVE A SHOT .

OUR PRIORITIES ARE BENT AND WARPED .

***** TENNESSEE MISSED A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BEAT FLORIDA .

BUTCH NEEDS A BUTT KICKING FOR STARTING A NEW QB IN THE SWAMP
THAT REALLY IS THROWING A GUY TO THE GATORS . 


THE KID MAY NEVER RECOVER FROM THE FIRST HALF TRAUMA   . COME ON BUTCH . START THE VETERAN & BRING IN THE KID LATER .

THE VOLS WERE TRYING TO RUN A ONE BACK SHOTGUN OFFENSE WITH A LOT OF ZONE READ . PROBLEM IS THAT QB IS SLOWER THAN I AM AT AGE 63 AND BATTLING MANY HEALTH ISSUES.

FLORIDA LOST THEIR QB  TO THE I -BUG .  THE DIFFERENCE WAS THE FLORIDA SUB WAS A GOOD ATHLETE AND THE GATORS HELPED HIM OUT WITH A LOT OF TWO - BACK OFFENSE .

****** I AM ASHAMED OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH PANOLA .  THE TIGERS WERE THE BIGGER FASTER STRONGER TEAM BUT LOST TO MUS .

I THINK USP DOES TOO MUCH STUFF AND IS TOO FANCY . GET BACK TO BASIC FOOTBALL  AND LET THOSE MARVELOUS PLAYERS MAKE PLAYS .

IF TRAIL PLAYS OLIVE BRANCH WILL BEAT SOUTH PANOLA .

***** IF OLE MISS UPSETS ALABAMA , HUGH FREEZE WILL BE DECLARED SUPREME RULER OF MISSISSIPPI . THE NAME JOHNNY VAUGHT NEED NEVER BE SPOKEN AGAIN . OLE MISS PLUS 17 IS TOO GOOD TO PASS UP . I WILL PUT A BURGER  & AN ICE COLD COLA  ON THAT .

****** THE WEEK MARKS THE  20 YEAR PASSING OF COACH LELAND SMITH . WE ALL MISS YOU BIG GUY .
