Who cares? It’s all about The Orange and Blue! We are so back, baby!
I am mildly pleased.
The reported $40 million team payroll is dismaying. Coach Pell was banished for providing ball caps and a few ham sandwiches. And I think one booster sold a player a used pickup truck for a couple of hundred dollars below blue book value. It was the biggest scandal you can imagine; we lost our first SEC Championship because of it.
Recently a high-paid star college quarterback was called into the office and told by the coach, “You are being demoted.”
“You are sending me to second team?” the player asked.
“No, you are being sent to the NFL,” the coach said.
