RUBY TUESDAY

DUKE

It is 7:35 and 65.0 degrees, Patrick is curled up on his afghan.

Yesterday, I posted a photo of our favorite actress who kills children with her car while talking on her cellphone, Rebecca Gayheart. Syncronicity demanded that I discover one of her old series being played on the tube, a mini marathon, of Dead Like Me, in which she plays a Grim Reaper. It's not a bad show--she looks a little hard around the edges--and subsequent research shows she was dropped from the show after a few episodes in the first season, even tho she had like the third starring roll--Don't know what's up with that... If I post a pic of John Wayne, will I get a cowboy movie today?

Watched ESPN's rerun of the Alabama game, part of it it. Roll, Tide Roll. I think Sabin will surprise a lot of people, IN JUST HIS FIRST YEAR. It's leadership, folks. Good leaders lead well and teach their subordinates how to lead. Urban Meyer teaches his coaches how to lead and they teach the senior players how to lead. Just like the Civil War: The Reason the Confederacy lasted for four long years was one man: Robert E. Lee. The armies opposing each other in the east were equal because of him.

It breaks down like this:

Lee =3
Army of No. Virgina =1
Total= 4

Northern General = 1
Army of the Potomac = 3
Total = 4

Anyway look for good things from Sabin and Company this year.

Watched the Bowdin Bowl and the Tigers mopped up the field with Pappy's Seminoles in the first half, like 24-3. Noles only had one first down. Then second half, Noles came alive and fortunes were reversed as Clemson unraveled and came close to deconstructing. They held on to win however, bringing my predictions to 23-2, I think. (Tennesee and Michigan let me down). Clemson holds a special place in my heart, not just because they beat FSU with regularity now, but because I worked in South Carolina for a year and went to their home games...Lots of fan intensity there.

More Later, maybe.

FROM SWIFTVETS.COM:

Yes, I Remember You

Yes I remember you
I saw you on the screen today
Your words I remember
You in a doper’s haze for all the world to see

You knew more than me in sixty-eight
Still smarter than me now
Screaming stop the war again
Trade the rifle for the plow

We were better men than you back then
Our sons are better still
Once again they go to fight and die
While you talk of the Bill

You damned the draft in sixty-eight
Heck no, you wouldn’t go
We stopped the draft just for you
But the patriot you don’t know

Don’t claim to care about our sons,
Your words are never true
You claim I don’t know you now,
But, yes I remember you

You burned my flag, damned my name
Your story so untrue
Today in the halls of power you stand
But I remember you

Hand over heart and eyes closed
You stand before my flag
But I remember way back then
When you treated her like a rag

So prattle on about honor boy
Tell how war makes you blue
Avert your gaze as I stare you down
Because, yes I remember you
