Tiger Bait
Well, congrats to the Bengal Tigers from LSU. The only team I hate to lose to more is Tennessee. If.....and that is a HUGE "IF"......we can get by Auburn, I will be the world's HUGEST Razorback fan that ever lived! :) If the Hogs could upset LSU, Bama would then go to the SEC Championship game. Hey, I can wish, can't I? Stranger things have happened. I understand Texas is going to play Slippery Rock next year to improve their schedule. Oh, for those who are wondering, Harding Academy in Memphis lost also. This was NOT the best football weekend I have ever had. But the Lions had a great season considering how young they were, and as always, I was proud of Matt's contribution.
--------------------
My top 5 albums of all time? I too am a product of the 70's.....especially the singer-song writer era.
In no particular order here they are:
Bridge Over Troubled Water- Simon & Garfunkel
Tea for the Tillerman- Cat Stevens
Tapestry- Carole King
Sweet Baby James- James Taylor
Abbey Road- The Beatles
Honable Mention:
Any Eagles, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Don McLean, Elton John, or Stevie Wonder album from the 70's.

Changing gears, in 1875 T.B. Larimore announced the publication of a journal he named "The Angel of Mercy, Love, Peace, and Truth". Here is how he described his editorial policy: "The Angel possesses not the slightest belligerent proclivity...not even in the latent or dormant state. It will avoid all unpleasant discussion and personal references. One harsh, unkind or unpleasant word will be sufficient reason for consigning to the flames any articles written for it's pages." He also wrote in response to a letter: "I am for Peace.....my name is Peace....and no word of bitterness shall ever fall from my lips, even in self-defense."
God help us all to have a heart like Brother Larimore! Even more, a heart like Christ.

I'm surpised Harvest didnt make your list uncle Dave?
Here are my top 5 in no particular order...
Mike McClure - 12 Pieces
Andrew Peterson - Love and Thunder
Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey
Lyle Lovett - The Road to Ensenada
Don Williams - Greatest Hits Vol 1
(some would argue that a greatest hits album doesnt count but i cant pick just 1 Don williams album you know)
Too bad about the Tide..I'm still hoping the SEC Championship might fall our way as well...later, cooper
That was a painful loss! I just hope it is a good spring board for this weekend!!
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Paul Simon - Graceland
Led Zeppelin - IV
U2 - Joshua Tree
Coldplay - X&Y
And I think if TB Larimore were alive today he would be blogging like crazy.
so how many old North Alabama check uncle Dave's blog anyway?
Mars Hill class of 95 here...but I grew up in Rogersville...
If we had some editors like Larrimore today I might suscribe to brotherhood publications again. God bless him and all with his spirit.
Coop, I thought about putting N. Young on my Honorable Mention list. And YES, Harvest is an AMAZING album. I still listen to it when Luke will let me borrow it.
BTW, did you know Cat Stevens is going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year? I am pumped! I don't think people appreciate him as a musician as much as he deserves. The dude could play the guitar AND the piano with the best of em! Clapton and Elton John combined, with a voice as sweet as JT's. Kinda reminds me of McCartney. I am REALLY glad he is going into THE Hall.
ROLL TIDE! :) GO HOGS!
That Vol orange is repugnant...
David...I love you, man, but we grew up in very different worlds. It's hard for me to appreciate Cat Stevens, cause I've never heard of him. I grew up on Green Day (although I can't argue that they're the best...). I saw a record player, once, though...
Neal, thanks.....that's all I needed on a rainy gloomy day with Tornado warnings around! Thanks for reminding me how OLD I am! :)
You're just still wet behind the ears, that's all.

Yeah well we Longhorn fans voted to see who could give us a little comp we decided against Alabama in favor of Slippery Rock, I bet you Bama fans have burnt orange nightmares with those horns running through them Hook-em Horns
Laymond, after the whooping you put on those mighty Jayhawks and beastly Baylor Bears, who wouldn't be scared? :) Come play in a REAL conference, brother.
DU
I thought I might get a rise out of a Bama fan. I too watched that Bama LSU game it was a good game.
But don't wish to meet the Horns on that old gridiron, you might need some of your players for next year. If you can't have fun during college football season you just can't have fun. keep on cheering brother the Tide might some day make it to the big leagues.
Hook-em Horns
Brother I do hope you take all this Texas hogwash as it is intended just fun,But I must warn you of a passage in the book about putting your trust in false gods,if you are going to put your salvation in the hands of those Hogs man you will be led astray, they really havent been real hogs since Texas ran them out of the southwest confrence, have you seen them play they are really little pigs cute but not much pork there.
