This is Carlos Strong now.

Seems like just a few years ago when he was a super recruit from Cedear Shoals.

Durn!

Needing 290,000 points to get tickets in the far upper deck for a regular season away game while still having a $200+ face value price tag.

If I hadn't been a die hard cfb fan since birth I'd have already abandoned the sport completely by now.

Waking up to pee, watching the kids complain about the same things I did, seeing “celebs” die, watching movies that I watched 25 years ago in a theatre, grey hairs….

But in all honesty, wouldn’t trade it for the world. Love getting older.

Watching your parents age and knowing you only have a couple more years with them.

Looking at your children and remembering being that age.

Mom is gone, taking care of Dad now after his emergency eye surgery from Tuesday. It’s not an enjoyable experience, I know my sisters can’t and I don’t trust anyone else.

I'm so old, I remember when the SEC only had 10 teams, and they were all in the South East.

Im in my early 30's but it's amazing watching these athletes going from role models, to peers, to children. I watched the Ole Miss version of the Dawg Walk last time we played there and I seriously thought it was a high school team walking by.

Guys who I watched play college ball when I was in college are starting to retire from the NFL. That makes me feel old.

I was a freshman and met Vince Dooley before his first game as Georgia's head coach.
