About Franklin »

I am an old school Alabama fan. I live, eat, and sleep college football. I played the game, so I know a little about the sacrifices these kids have to make. I have been involved with Alabama football since Bear Bryant's glory days. I have witnessed Alabama winning 7 National Championships..

When I die I plan to have my ashes spread over Bryant-Denny stadium. I only ask that I live long enough to see Alabama win another national championship. It's beginning to look like my days are numbered!

I have been banned from AuburnUndercover, TigerDroppings, Gatorenvy and Volnation apparently for just telling it like it is...

I have had the privilege of my articles being printed in Scout.com, BamaMag.com and RollTide.com I was also quoted in Sports Illustrated .com I know what you're thinking, BIG FRIGIN' DEAL!

Franklin,

I hope you are doing well.

Read your SEC write up, not too bad but NO way LSU loses three or four games. LSU will rebound and will be in Atlanta.

I'm just saying. Thanks - SM

(Where's that 'can't we all get along' article you told me you were writing?)
