Woody Hayes taking out an opposing player?

Rick Perry ended our conversation with a prediction – Texas A&M 35, Alabama 24 – but in a true politician's flourish, he added a walk-off catch phrase:
"Roll, tears, roll," Perry said, sounding quite pleased with the line.
Yes, the governor of Texas and 2012 Republican presidential aspirant was talking trash at the Crimson Tide. If it costs him the state of Alabama in a much-rumored 2016 bid to become the 45th president of the United States, well, he's prepared to live with that.

Perry is many things, but timid is not among them. A man who has a concealed carry permit and once signed into law a bill allowing the hunting of wild hogs from helicopters has the kind of bravado that plays well in his home state. So the idea of seceding from the Big 12 played well with his swaggering attitude.

Of course, Rick Perry will be at the game Saturday. He will hear the Yell Leaders do the old cheers from his days, and the newer ones, too. He will applaud the verve and nerve of Johnny Football. He will revel in the spectacle and relish the bold new world he helped his alma mater enter last year.
And at the end, Gov. Gig' Em will hope to see the visitors' tears roll.

Woody Hayes taking out an opposing player?
Some of the Aggie starting defense hasn’t played this year...will be on the field tomorrow. Still...questionable.
Sorry, I forgot my PC
It will be a workplace violence out.
Good, I hope it helps. The Aggies letting Sam State score 28 points was kinda sad.
I'm not sure but I think the Aggies played 5 or 6 freshmen on defense...first 2 games.
I’m looking forward to the game. I’m pulling for the Aggies, I hope Johnny Football tears it up.
A&M gave up 31 points to Rice...
We ain’t Rice.
I hate ATM but hate Bama more.
Tell you the truth, I like both teams! B^)
The winner may need to score at least 40 points.
tears... is that going to be Manzel’s new nick name after tomorrow night?
The winner is definitely going to have to score more points than the loser.
I am. (at Rice).
You most certainly are NOT Rice. However, there were six starting defense players for A&M that were not there for Rice, but will be for Alabama.
I expect it to be about like it was last year. Aggies will win.
Woody didn’t know that Art Schlichter owed bookies $50K, but smelled a rat and took it out on Charlie Bauman of Clemson.
Well at least I got that part right.
:)
What a game!
It was a shoot out, that’s for sure. Nice rivalry started up in the SEC, that’s for sure. Alabama and A&M should rivals for years to come!
