Best story he ever told (from my dad), I never met him sadly, he died before I was born, but when he was at ND he was taking the train home, a woman in line was giving him some looks, so he started reciprocating, well she was with her bf that probably like 5’4 150lbs. He said “ what are you doing this little guy” he said, that little guy whooped his ass the worst he had ever gotten in his life. So bad that he didn’t go home Bc of his black eye and stayed at ND the rest of the quarter lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a sarcastic albeit true remark which last time I checked was perfectly ok on a message board... Gus will find a way to lose 4 or more next year, you and the Brigade will defend him (and I’m fairly convinced you are all members of his family at this point) , those of us with brains will criticize him and life will go on...it’s what we do ... no one forces you to come here so feel free to check out and go hang at the Malzahns. Seriously you are saying since some don’t criticize Gus they don’t have brains...Post all you like it’s a free forum but please remember at the end of the day it’s just sports entertainment...

Only our rivals and opponents have gotten any entertainment out of this season from Auburn. I have been entertained...and disappointed at the same time...but I’ll be damned if I lose my wits about it. And for a man without a functioning brain, he has accomplished a lot in his life. Has a NC ring as an asst, Couple of SEC titles, had the opportunity to coach a heisman winner and positively impact the lives of several young men. I don’t think there is an Auburn football fan that is overly happy about this season, but it is what it is. It’s really easy to stand tall when things are going well with the team you root for but there are times you gotta stand taller when things are not going as we hoped for. Some just to choose to support regardless of the situation. Does not make them brainless. Just their choice on how they wanna support the team. I respect your right to an opinion just like many others here, I enjoy seeing such a wide array of viewpoints which makes this board the best one on the net.

I support the coaches as long as the are at AU but I have nothing for them other then that. But posts like this is why I left the board for a while... and many others as well because there can be no other discussion on the board outside of Gus sucks... sorry to disappoint but you probably have the rest of this year and next year to complain so you might want to pace yourself. I hope you don't leave this board again. I and I suspect others follow your posts pretty closely. Too many knowledgeable posters are already not posting. Please keep posting and thanks.

I kinda had a similar relationship with my grandfather and the Braves. I can still probably spit out all if not most of the regular starters for the Braves from the time that I was 5 years old to 17 if I saw you in person. Watching the Braves was always our thing. He was actually an Alabama fan but not like an Updyke....more like a state of Alabama fan. My grandmother actually became an Auburn fan for me just because I was the only one in the family not an Alabama fan. Great people. Anyways, Braves eventually didn’t win tbe division, then they began to suck and it just got to where I was too busy with high school life for the Barves, so I dropped our thing on the weekends. My grand dad is still living at 96 but I am now 29 and live over three hours away. Even when I visit Florence every other month and we talk about the Braves, I still feel regret for stopping. That was a great era. My mom and grandmother were alive and well, I enjoyed working with my grand dad, etc. Anyways, find another significant thing to do with your dad. Even if it’s watching Dateline like I also used to do with Pop. You’re going to miss him one day and same old Auburn will still be there. Maybe tbe enjoyment of watching Auburn with your dad has more to do with him than Auburn. If you know what I mean. Good luck to your dad. Auburn will probably give me a heart attack at some point in my life, so I second OnThePlains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He taught me everything I know about baseball and I was so happy they won a World Series before he passed. He wasn’t a big football fan but he loved baseball.

A lot of older women (like senior citizen age and up) do not give a dang about other sports. BUT THEY LOVE them some baseball! haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
