If you haven’t seen this clip before, it’s a real treat. I don’t think it requires an introduction.
This is the kind of thing that makes college sports so special.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

For some reason, I held up my camera and hit “record” just before the ball was snapped on the final play. I was sitting in the corner near where Mayfield caught his TD pass, so my view is a little higher and wider. Caught the whole play and about 2 minutes of pandemonium. Only other plays in my life like that moment of pure joy? Lindsay Scott in Jacksonville. Poulos over the top in Atlanta. Greene to Johnson at Auburn. Maybe Herschel in Knoxville. None were better than SONY FOR THE WIN!

“This is the kind of thing that makes college sports so special.”
You are so right, Senator. I’m living much of this excitement through my daughter now. I noted in 2016 that my daughter was accepted into UGA and she graduates this December. Before becoming a ‘real’ Dawg, she didn’t know the difference between a football and a basketball. Now, she gets way more emotional than I. I have experienced the highs and lows with her. I didn’t realize how emotionally invested she was until the UT game of 2016. That last second Hail Mary broke her heart. She called me crying. I LOVE to see these young kids enjoy something that has been a passion of ours for so many years. It’s one thing that us old coots and young students can connect.

I completely understand as I have a very similar situation. My daughter graduated last May and my son is a Senior. I live out of state and only get to see a couple of games a year so my daughter and I text endlessly during the games. Many times she’ asking me what I can see on a replay and telling all her friends. Evidently they even ask her to find out what I can see. Last year, I was traveling in Asia (12 hours time difference) during the first Auburn game. I was awakened to multiple texts from her pleading me to wake up as she was freaking out.
Also, they were both at the Rose Bowl and got to experience that joy.
Its just so fantastic to share the love for the Dawgs with them. At this point, they are invested every bit as much as I am.

You want to run through a wall? Queue up the Rose Bowl at the start of the third quarter, watch us 3-and-out their ass, then hand it to Nick who sheds 3-4 tacklers and violently runs 50+ yards to put us within a score.

There is truly nothing quite like the unbridled joy of young people who are so invested in a team at a moment like that. If we could just bottle that and pass it around the world we’d sure have a lot less conflict.

Discipline is when all you want to do is jump and cry and scream and hug your friends, but you put all that on hold for yourself to provide that familiar soundtrack for the celebration for the rest of us.
If the sight of those kids crying for joy while playing their instruments doesn’t grab you then you’re not grabbable.
Also, these kids getting their “air time” squeezed by all that piped in shit makes me want to puke.
