College football is a great way to pass time and I love the drama. With that in mind, I try to keep it all in perspective. I love to listen to Rivals Radio (Bill King), only read the paper for sports and absolutely love the Crimson Tide.

Times have been tough since Stallings let go of the reins but Nick Saban is the perfect fit for Alabama and kudos to Mal for a good choice.

Love the Atlanta Braves, NE Patriots, Baltimore Ravens D, Peyton Manning fan (Eli too) and all SEC competitions. I will even watch a swim meet or tennis match if it is SEC. My wife loves tennis so I suffer through many tournaments. Do enjoy the finals, particularly the Opens and Wimbledon. My daughter is a high school basketball player (in bio pic) and one real joy in my life. My son is a musician and jokes of my Bama passion. We have a great life and love the Lord.

    I don't know if you'll have your way with Auburn quite like Chattanoooooga but it shouldn't be that close. They'll get up for it and will...

    John,

    Congrats on a great scrimmage yesterday, my day not so good.

    As President of the Les Miles Fan Club I took a big hit on Saturday Night but is Les really on the Hot Seat?

    I'd appreciate your feedback and I hope you like it, if you find me worthy!

    Thanks in advance. - HB
