A Sneak Preview

The largest phantom, of course, belongs to legendary Crimson Tide coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. His presence is seen and felt in every corner of the Quad and in the shrine and museum which bears his name located on (where else?) Bryant Drive. Houndstooth hats, SEC and national championship trophies, the rings, and of course, his desk and chair, are on full display, sacramental relics which render the gazing Tide faithful breathless, teary-eyed and all atremble.

    People think we’re exagerrating when we say football is like a religion down here. Good grief, I’m even fired up for Faulkner football.

    Of course, I didn’t say which religion. We saw more evidence again this weekend of Houston Nutt’s pagan bargain with the Ancestors.

    Go ‘Dores.

    27-10 is awfully suspicious, isn’t it?

    After the so-called game days of Harding, I was simply amazed at the fervor of that ol’ timey Bama religion.

    I’ve been to game-days in Tuscaloosa, Oxford, Starkville, Knoxville and Nashville (YES, IT COUNTS! Sheesh…), and I must say that Searcy always left a little something to be desired. In fact, one of my criteria for law schools was membership in the SEC. It’s a pleasant drug.

    “…and Nashville (YES, IT COUNTS! Sheesh…)”

    Better late than never. 🙂

    It is a pleasant, and strong, drug. It is figuring heavily in Number One’s college decision. Now I’m taking him back to Harding for Homecoming. Will that trip strengthen or weaken the call of the Bisons?

    Stay tuned.
