About Richard »

Too all I have corresponded with on BR, or this possibly being your first time, I want all of you to know the following:

Always say whatever you want to say. I long ago passed the point of becoming angry or offended by what someone says about what I have published. I will try to read all replies after I come back home from my hiatal hernia repair, which will happen sometime during the week of 11/16/09. I will try to read, or have read to me, whatever replies I receive. But since recuperation time in the hospital for this surgery may be a few weeks or more, as well as my possibly having to stay in bed as much as possible when back home, maybe for a week or more, this will further limit my replies.

For those replies in which I choose to not argue about, I may only say "Thank you for your reply."

Will be back in touch ASAP.

I have just published a battle cry for (LSU) Tiger Nation. It's a must read for Tiger fans and it might be my best literary effort to date, I hope everyone will enjoy regardless of team or sport affiliation.

Richard, you were asking about the Lane Kiffin show, here are some of those comments:

http://bleacherreport.com/tb/b1anN

"You run another play and you throw an interception or they throw another flag on us -- I wasn't going to let the refs lose the game for us there and some magical flag appear," Kiffin said Sunday.

"If a play's still going, you can't take your helmet off," Kiffin said. "A guy throws his helmet as the ball's still live. He throws his helmet and then two of their guys go and recover the ball. It's a 15-yard penalty, and you kick again."

"I'm sure we'll get one of those letters that really means nothing as Bobby got last week, but Florida and Alabama live on," Kiffin said.

See what I mean....

I've spent the past several weeks adding to a piece dedicated to one of the father's of college football, Knute Rocke. In time for his dedication tomorrow at Notre Dame Stadium, I present to you the true and inspiring story of the most renown coach in the game:

Don't be shy, and as always, feedback is appreciated.
