The front page
of Tuesday’s Tuscaloosa News read “Zero Doubt.”
It was much more than eye candy to hard-nosed fans of SEC football. Those two words unequivocally settled the question
surrounding whether Alabama was better than LSU.
While Monday’s
BCS National Championship Game served as a rematch between the Bayou Bengals of
LSU and the Crimson Tide of Alabama, it certainly was not a rerun.
I know that
LSU fans are still smarting from their loss, but I must tip my hat to Pat of And
So It Goes In Shreveport. She is
such a good sport.
She asked in
early December of last year if I would be willing to wager a bet on who would
emerge victorious in the BCS National Championship. Of course, I was confident that my beloved
Alabama would beat her Tigers.
We agreed to
donate $100 to Wounded Warrior
Project if our respective teams lost.
Pat is proud to support WWP and that makes me proud to call her a
friend.
Trying to make
lemonade out of lemons, Pat offered this pithy joke after LSU’s decisive loss
to Bama: “I heard that a bunch of LSU
fans are stuck in New Orleans. An Alabama fan painted a 50-yard line across the
interstate and they can't figure out how to cross it,” alluding to the fact
that the Tigers were only able to cross mid-field once during the big game.
I am proud of
LSU’s record and I’m proud to know Pat.
Next year there will be another “chick fight”
and no matter who wins, Wounded
Warrior Project will be the winner.
That’s because we’re going to continue our agreement to help out this
worthy cause while enjoying the strong rivalry between our beloved SEC
powerhouses.
