Perspective

The most important word across the world...and especially in college football on this day is perspective. People are dying in our home towns & towns across the globe about which we have no personal knowledge. People are afraid, regardless of race, creed, or color. Our governments, state & federal, don't have a clue about what to do or what is actually believable. This is the craziest time I have known in my 70 years...and I've lived all across the South from Texas to South Carolina.
People everywhere need to stop, take a deep breath, & prioritize their lives & their thinking according to good old common sense. Nowhere is it needed more than in the world of football. Presidents, governors, legislators, coaches...none of them are capable of controlling the circumstances nowadays...it is beyond any of them. We all need to curb our expectations, control what is within our own power, & keep our heads about us.
I would love for LSU to be undefeated & whipping Alabama this Saturday...but it's not in my control...it's not even in the control of the two universities. People in Alabama are living with the exact same fears that people in Louisiana are. Cut people some slack & maybe even pray for your enemies, whether they live in Alabama or coach in Louisiana...it's the right thing to do.
