Holy crap you can tell these guys will run through a brick wall for that man

i like the hell out of the ol' pit boss. i never paid much attention to him, but in the last few days of sporadic reading of articles about the man and seeing his demeanor on the field (and off of it as well), i've a newfound respect for the man.

right here and right now, if my son were to be a football player whose talent warrants him having his pick of SEC coaches to play under, then i'd highly encourage him to consider going under the wing of sam pittman; because even though i never "hang my star" on any man or woman, that man seems to have his shite together as a human being and as a head coach -and he's humble while he's doing it.*

humble people like sam pittman who walk the litta-bitta talk they talk are god's gift to the world: they're proof that it can be done, and when it's being done it's extremely effective at getting results, and it's a breath of fresh air to watch it happen.

*another reason -a very big reason- for encouraging him to play for the PB is because nw arkansas is god's country, and going to see him play would be an excuse to do some serious smallmouth fishing on all those blue ribbon streams while i'm in the area...or just move there altogether like i want to do anyways.

as a state fan and alumni, i'm obviously not "happy" for being "slumpbuster u" (and in no shape form or fashion am i shocked, hence my eternal pessimism and durability at being melt-proof), but if we had to win against someone and turn around and lose to the next opponent, i'm happy for it to be la state and arkansas because i'm a SP fan now.

and because of that fandom, i'm pulling for ar this season. a feisty arkansas razorbacks football team always makes things interesting, and some of my fondest memories growing up and going to every game at davis wade stadium were when the razorbacks were in town. so enjoy it while you can, because we moppin' da floor with your raggedy asses in 2021
