Most of my adult life, I was like what I'd guess would be a typical man. I rarely cried - at most, I'd get choked up or my eyes might get a little wet.

The past year, however, something has changed. I find myself shedding tears much more easily. A sad song, a glance at on old photo, or a sentimental story posted on here may be enough to set me off.

Recently, we had a pet get sick and eventually pass away. It wrecked me. I cried so much, I had to start carrying a handkerchief for a while. I've lost pets before, and it always sucks, but my reaction is not normal and it kind of scares me.

Has anyone found themselves getting more emotional as they age? Is it sort of chemical imbalance in th brain? Or am I just going crazy?
I think Saban was 2-1 vs Meyer at UF while at Alabama.
Yes, I got this from Larry Leo, but I thought this bizarre situation warranted some discussion.

Evidently, in MS, classifications have two state championship playoffs - one one for good teams, and one for losers (wtf). I don't know how it works, but evidently Marshall Academy wanted to lose so they would be in the lower, easier bracket.

So, they sat their starters. Okay, not so unusual. But then they refused to run plays, taking delays each time until the refs awarded a safety to the other team. This must have been a brutal game to attend.

The association responded by suspending the coach, fining both the coach and the school, and forcing the team to travel to all playoff games.

What a dumb format, but the coach is even worse. Rest you starters and run-run-run-punt the whole game if you have to - don't make it a spectacle.
Less likely now with so many teams.

I'm surprised there was never an Alabama - Tennessee CCG, and only one (?) Auburn - UGA rematch.

We skipped this scene when my son was young.

Blood and guts was okay, but we were not messing with Santa. :lol:

He used to be LSU's coach. He coached at Alabama for a while, but is now retired.

This is a tie? :lol:
A big advantage of the playoff bye has nothing to do with weeks off or player rest. It's one less elimination game you have to play. Being seeded directly into the second round is a big bonus, and one worth playing for.
If #1 is the play I'm thinking of, the lineman was supposed to pull out around the TE blocking down, but got tangled up in traffic.
There was one state that did this with random seeding, but I forget which on. Meaning a winless team could be hosting an unbeaten team in the first round. :lol:

I'm sure some locations suck, but I still love the original recipe done right.
You can get action figures of a lot of these vintage costumes. Pretty cool, especially if it's one you had.

The team is 2-0 since he resigned. One win over a winless team and another over a 1 win team. I guess we won't know the effect of the coaching change until the playoffs.
