I don't know, certain places, events, etc have a uniqueness, IMO.. And will always be with us. Everybody's will be different of course. And the things, places, etc. I have never been too, might be off the list, once I visit them. :) This stuff segues in my mind so fast, it can't keep up with itself..

An interesting little parallel to the Lott/Thurmond episode is how Mike Price reacted to his hiring by Alabama. He was slobbering over "leagendary" coach Paul "Bear" Bryant the way Lott slobbered over Thurmond.. Bryant and Thurmond being contemporaries of the same ilk?. Do these people just get "caught up in the moment" and don't think and realize what they are saying or are their true feelings coming out? I don't know.. << Posted Dec 20, 2002 Fatal attraction? Price and Bama are the supreme odd couple, made possible only by Mike's insecurity By JOE CLINE CF.C Guest Columnist MIKE PRICE'S bad case of mid-life coaching crisis has crushed the Cougar Nation, but perhaps more puzzling is that he's done it by casting his lot with a program whose "rich history" he's so enamored with is more a testament to narrow mindedness than football greatness. Bryant's other legacy looms over Price as he heads for Alabama. (AP photos) Price gushed the other day that it was "an honor to walk the same sideline" as legendary 'Bama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and that "Alabama means more to me than you'll ever know." Once you get past the luster of the Bear's 323 career wins, you have to wonder what it is an old Cougar finds so irresistible about following in the footsteps of a guy whose career seems as much about racism as it is Xs and Os. While George Wallace was standing in the classroom door forbidding African-Americans from setting foot inside and Bull Connor, Birmingham's so-called public safety chief, was turning fire hoses on peaceful Civil Rights demonstrators, good ol' Bear Bryant was the noble warrior whose all-white ball teams served as a symbol of the power of the Confederate Way.........>> << ..You expect us to believe you (meaning Price) were secretly pining all these years for a house in the segregated South of Bear's reign? You can't wax nostalgic about the glory and honor of Bryant without acknowledging the era he helped shape. Alabama was at the center of the civil rights movement and Bear was the most admired citizen in the state. By definition, his legacy cannot be limited to wins and losses.>> More: washingtonstate.theinsiders.com At any rate, the article created as much controversary in the Coug nation, as evidenced by the message board chat. as did the big one.. And it sure p!ssed off the Bamans that came to the site..
