The buses are rolling into Tuscaloosa, camouflaged, just in case anyone wearing Alabama colors sees who’s in town.
My main employer, the University of South Carolina, was flying high heading into last week’s home game against Ole Mess. The Gamecocks have not played a true road game since 2019 – or so it seems – and were ending the long homestand against a ranked opponent they thought they could beat.
And then they remembered they had to play the game on the field. Spurs Up, indeed. That chicken died, and the spurs went up.
Sure, Ole Mess had players running around claiming all sorts of injuries and illnesses and falling out on the sidelines and in the stands, Rebel players were falling in front of the fake train where the chicken roosts and supposedly showers these days, and claiming the train had run over them.
