seems the painting party is coming to a close. so we settle in and get ready for "the iron bowl" this annual battle of auburn university & university of alabama. it is a family battle as half of the richardson extended family is auburn fans, or president. unfortunately, the historic battle that is happening on the field will not be the story.. the networks are sure to talk of my coaches latest comments.
in case you didn't hear. after our latest loss, to a very lesser opponent, he stated that the loss was catastrophic and after every catastrophe there are grand changes. he then went on to suggest that this happened after Sept. 11th and Pearl Harbor. the news jumped on this saying, 'how could he say a football game is equal to these events.' i never saw that he was doing that, but i am not the media. that media gets to make the news lines going into the game.
glen has some fun take on all this & mcb.
my 2 cents..
when i first heard the comments by my university coach i thought.. technically he is right, catastrophic events always end in some major changes. i never thought he was saying that football was the same as the two analogies he was using.
still, i wasn’t too pleased a few years ago when kellen winslow jr. ranted over how he was a soldier.
maybe they are the same, and i should feel pissed. i just don’t.
we have a ego maniac for a coach, so does half the ncaa football programs out there. mine just gets paid the most.
roll tide!
