This victory marks a great turning point. A critical mass has been reached. The tide has turned and the people have seen that our future can be as bright as a majestic Hawaiian sky under the leadership of young Tua Tagovailoa.

My thanks to all of you who participated in this thread. It’s all about you.

Thank you to the moderators who showed great courage in leaving the post up. thank you to my fans, who appreciate my literary abilities. And I say that with great humility. And thank you to those who lambasted me, cursed me, mocked me, and spewed all sorts of vile and hateful lthings my way. You are the wind that fills my creative sails. Thank you so much.

Finally, I want to thank the man who is conspicuously absent in this thread... the great Huddie Ledbetter.

Huddie, this composition was not meant to slight you. The poem was written from the perspective of the establishment. And as you know, the establishment has fought hard for some time to suppress the truth and persecute the truth teller. And everyone knows, you sir are the leader of the truth movement... it’s prophetic voice crying in the wilderness. You courage and insightfulness is legendary among we Tuaites. And we will always be grateful for the logic and sound reasoning that you have brought to this board, as well as the spunk and grit with which you have defended the truth. Few men can stare unflinchingly into the eyes of truth. You did. You have done it consistently and you have thrust it before us over and over. And you have suffered the slings and arrows that truth tellers oft suffer. And what’s more, you did it for love. For love of you school and it’s team ... and in the hope that we might make the necessary changes to win and to win bigly.

Thank you sir. Thank you.

But, as they say, storm clouds are gathering and the winds of war are now blowing. There is a great and evil enemy that threatens our great dynasty, the Clempson Tigers. We must put aside our animus and butt hurt and place our fate in the hands of the Great Lord Saban, trusting that he will make the correct decisions and do the right things.

I am suspending my campaign and I call on all of you to join together as one as we support the Tide and ALL her players. We are all different. But we are all CRIMSON.

No more poetry until after the season. And may God bless you all

Roll Tide.
