Lyman and I watched a television show last night featuring Nick Saban, Matt Mauck, Marcus Spears and others. You do know that LSU is playing for the national championship tomorrow. Unless you're from California. But then, you know about those people from California.

Nick Saban took questions from the audience. An older woman with a large purple-feathered hat and an enormous purple boa rose up and thanked Mr. Saban for giving her the thrill of a lifetime. "The last time we played for a national championship, I was a senior at LSU." Big Daddy and I figure that she had to be at least 64.
