A Good Guy (Even Though He is a Gator)
My wife and I were at lunch today and SEC football previews were running on the TV. The Florida Gator preview came up and she reminded me about the time in the spring of this year when my step-son, Tommy, had his picture taken with Urban Meyer.
The family was down in Gainesville (I was absent, on a work trip). They were visiting some family and GrandPoppy wanted to show Tommy and my other son "The Swamp". So, they went to look around and took some pictures. Well, GrandPoppy had to take my little one for a potty break when out of the blue Coach Meyer came out and started running stairs in the stadium.
He ended up stopping right near my wife and Tommy and she asked if he would take a quick picture with Tommy (who happened to be wearing his University of Tennessee t-shirt).

As you can see, Coach Meyer at the last minute covered up the UT logo and was a great sport about it.
Doing the Right Thing is Not Always Easy
I continue to admire Coach Jeff Fisher. Apparently Vince Young thought he could spend the night at home during training camp. Nope, you have to have 4 years in until you get that luxury.
You can get the details in this article: Young Sits in Loss.

I'm going to bet no one on that team will do this again. Like that old saying..."what's good for the goose..."
College Football Season Begins Today
I'm so excited. Here in TN we've had a bit of unseasonably cool days and nights - and talk about college football is in full swing. I was watching "Mike & Mike in the Morning" on ESPN this morning and the crew from a new show "College Football: Live" was filling in for Greenie & Golic. I'm really looking forward to this show kicking off, especially since my man, Les Miles, will be on the debut show.
