Dear Kevin...

Dear Kevin,

 As I'm packing for my trip to Nola, I've ended up having a Kev moment tonight. I think trying to figure out what to wear on New Year's Eve triggered it. Remember last year? Just me, you & a cell phone.  Kev, I sure miss your voice.

 I know what you did has forever changed me.  I am SO SORRY for letting you down.  I should've been there that night.

 Who would've thought? I DID NOT want Ash with you & ended up falling completely in love with my wittle baby brahther!!! You'd love how I've made everyone so uncomfortable so many times this year reliving one of our crazy memories!  Be glad you missed the Iron Bowl. It was horrible.

 The day after tomorrow will be so hard for me.  New Year's last year was so full of hope!  You were better! And everyone was happy. Okay.... I should have suspected something when Ash asked for a Chunky & you bought her 20.  But let's be honest. That was so romantic!

You'd be proud of your Ash. She is being such an overachiever these days! But I can see how much she misses you. It's times like these when I wanna kick your ass! You SHOULD be there for her graduation. You should be helping me plan this NYC trip for her graduation.  How much time did we spend fussing over this?  NYC or Vegas?

 Kev, I miss you every day. And you are missing so much! I'll never understand what happened that night.  But I miss our daily convos....

I'm really looking forward to flushing 2013.  And I hope for the happiness in 2014 that 2013 didn't offer me.  But I promise you I will always honor your name, Kev.  You were the best of us.  And I just miss my lil' brother tonight.

Roll Tide & Roll Kev!!!

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

Image
A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he suffered a severe ne

Iron Bowl Problems

Image
F or the last month, I've been struggling with a really difficult life decision.  I'm not talking about where to plan my next vacation or what color to paint my kitchen, y'all.  This is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than that....  See, I am the proud owner of a couple of Iron Bowl tickets & I've been really torn about what I should do with them.  Before you roll your eyes and label this a first world problem, hear me out & you'll understand why it's been so hard deciding should I stay or should I go. Reason #1 I really hate Auburn, y'all.  This is not your typical run of the mill kinda hate either.  I despise everything about them.  I hate their fans.  They're truly the most annoying fanbase in all of college football.  I hate the way they not only think God is a football fan but he is, in fact, an auburn fan.  I hate the way they make signs saying things like, "God Thing" while guzzling bourbon and cursing at opposing fanbases.  I hate that t

Rammer Jammer~A Video Diary

H ave you ever been around that snotty nosed kid that won't accept not getting their way?  You know the one I'm talking about.  The little brat that puts his fingers in his ears while screaming, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".  Imagine about 200 of those little assholes in head to toe orange and blue.  But instead of the 'I can't hear you' mantra, they manage to come up with something even more annoying.  The auburn fight song. Yep.  This happened Saturday night, y'all.  I have clocked 5 years experience sitting next to the visiting band.  It isn't always easy but I really do love my section.  Plus, sometimes you get to score awesome pictures like this: Ironically, with 00:01 left on the clock, about 100,000 of my closest friends and I celebrated a much deserved win over our in-state rival.  Kids, I'm telling ya....  After suffering thru 2010 & 2013, the look of relief on my face would be virtually impossible to dupli
