Ok, thanks for the info. I did not know that.

We have different perspectives. You're right, everyone has an opinion. Just have to leave it that.

This is exactly why I don't post here anymore often than I do. My opinion is treated as trash.

I am not making this sound like an honor of any kind. I am talking about a man honoring his word. And I don't appreciate being called dumb.

Because he just made a commitment to Auburn. I guess I'm just an old fool, but when a Man makes a commitment to someone, I would expect him to honor it.

ummm *quietly standing in corner* sometimes we do 😉

Found it. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30588255/florida-gators-lb-james-houston-disses-oklahoma-bowl-game Florida linebacker James Houston IV on Tuesday took a shot at Oklahoma ahead of their meeting in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Dec. 30. Houston, a redshirt junior, was asked about playing in Big 12 territory at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. He said he wasn't worried about Oklahoma having a form of home-field advantage. "Oklahoma is a good matchup, but they're not on our level," he said. "They're not the SEC. They're not the Florida Gators. So we should put on a good show."

Seems like I remember a USC Trojan player saying pretty much the same thing about Fresno State in the '92 Freedom Bowl. Fresno State won 24-7.

This is my belief also and it is the only thing that can bring me any comfort, however small, in such a terrible situation.

Personally, I felt it ended up as something of an (perhaps) unintended tribute to Rod Bartlett. When I saw it, it made me think of Kick Six & Rod and it literally gave me goosebumps. I have no problem at all with it. (And I'm old!)

Interesting and funny... http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/24011044/message-boards-texags-tigerdroppings-keep-college-football-weird

http://www.rockcityt...on-coordinator/ By Adam Ritchey On January 11, 2014· in Featured, Sports, US News TUSCALOOSA , Ala. – Alabama football coach Nick Saban announced the hiring of Lane Kiffin Friday as NCAA Violation Coordinator. Kiffin, who was fired as head coach at USC only five games into the 2013 season, is renowned in coaching circles for his creative approach to flaunting NCAA regulations. “I am tremendously excited about Lane joining our staff,” said Saban. “We’ve broken all the easy rules. Lane will take us to a whole ‘nother level.” Although widely known as a key figure in the Reggie Bush debacle at USC, Saban said it was Kiffin’s relentless violations of NCAA rules at Tennessee that first caught his attention.

Yeah....this is the same coach who signaled his quarterback to spike the ball on 4th down against Miami!
