The choices are out and I’m fairly happy with our placement in the top five. However Willie, I don’t see those damn ducks staying in the top three for very long. I could be wrong as they don’t have a lot of competition on the left coast in my opinion.

And I won’t state my opinion on those worthless buckeye nuts south of here. Texas might have a tough time this year as they have moved over to the SEC where the competition is much stronger.

As far as coach DeBoer is concerned, I have tremendous faith and hope in his abilities as in his short career he has shown his true grit and shaped a winning team out there on that left coast. And from what I have seen in this off season the players are on board with his style so we will have to watch and see if the tide will go from a bad ass defensive team to an unstoppable offensive team. Either way, I will leave you with the words of wisdom from Coach Bear Bryant, “You talking about that cow town college?” (Auburn) or maybe, since I wasn’t talking about teams outside of the top 25 I should go with another favorite saying of mine “ROLL TIDE!”
