This is the type of impact that I'm sure that Dr.
did not have contained in his study. While some impact may fade over time those who have been close to the program will never forget nor forgive.

She got him on the phone a couple of days ago?

If she comes to Auburn I'll keep an eye on her for you.
She flies to the US Thursday night for presidential scholarship interviews this weekend at Mercer. If no presidential scholarship, she will most certainly be at Auburn. It was the most impressive college tour of any that I went on with her... It was heads above the other tours. UAB's was second worse.

Yeah he was there. I'm sure after that phone call he wished he'd stayed in bed. You'd have to know my niece

Maybe that was when he stopped taking any more calls.
Come to Huntsville. The Titans regularly play a good team 8-12 times a year, 4-6 of which are home games, & Nashville is just 90 miles away.
Because of the nature of my job I've seen too much of the political bs in Alabama. I'm strongly considering retiring out of state. I really hate this place right now

That was one of the things I had considered. Huntsville actually seems to be one of the best fits employment-wise and personally.
All in all now, we're most likely not coming back to Alabama at all though. We still have some time for the ultimate decision, but now Birmingham is an absolute NO. Funny how something like this can actually change decisions that seem completely unrelated.
