Southern Play Saves the Day

As Mrs. Lovett says, “Do forgive me if my head’s a little vague.”

I had intended to elaborate on one of my favorite reasons college ball is better than the pros, but then the Iron Bowl happened.

If you’re struggling with getting into college football, this was the game to watch. A huge rivalry game with national implications in which the favored team, ranked #2 in the nation with a lock on a trip to their conference championship, was trailing until, literally, the final minute of the game.

It was living testimony to what makes Southern football the best. Auburn came out with the fancy plays and psychological tricks, but in the end it was the simplicity of pounding out a simple game plan that saved the day.

I could wax eloquent for pages, but truth be told, I’m a little aswim from the game long butterflies and breathtaking excitement of that final quarter.

PS- It’s practically New Year’s with all the resolutions being made in this house. 2/3 of the family is swearing to A) never eat again because they are sooo full and their arteries can’t take any additional clogging and B) never watch another Bama game because their hearts can’t take the excitement. I predict A to be broken within the next hour and B be to broken next week.
