Bubbas are neat. I was standing next to one at a seventh grade football game last year and he started telling me how we needed a new stadium but all these damn new jacks (is that a Bubba term?) kept movin' in and votin' down the money wantin' stuff like computers. ANd their kids don't know nothin bout football-lil scrawny things. And I, being shy and retiring, mildly mentioned that maybe the "jacks" thought education was a little more important than football He pulled in his bubba gut, adjusted his gimme cap, and squared off with me. "Football made me what I am today. Football taught me about life. I owe everythin' I am to my coach-he made a man of me"(I feel he was a tad belligerent). "And I can tell you're very successful," said I politely, admiring his black t-shirt with "Southlake Feed Store" on it. However I was distracted from further comment as my 85 lb. son was now in the game. Not to worry-he had perfected the technique of leaping on piles of prostrate boys after the play was over and then high fiving everyone as they got up. "Damn straight-these jack kids could use a little toughenin' up-God damn jacks think they can move in and change things..they don't know shit. Which one's your boy?" "Ummm-#85" I lie, pointing to a 200 lb tackle. "Hey--now he's a player" Bubba nods appovingly and pats me on the back. I am in. It's the little episodes like this that keep us mindful of ....something. I know my life was the better for our brief encounter.
