WARNING: NEGATIVITY TO ENSUE!!!!! Somewhere in the dark

[oxpatchreb]

recesses of my mind glows a nagging, sinister, flickering flame.

With all the recent "mini successes" with our football program leading up to this season boding such good things;

Powe is in, Trahan will likely qualify AND contribute, Jumbotron, pundits picking us for the preseason sleeper/most improved/cover the spread awards, all the perceived harmony among HC's and AC's, 5pm NEY!!! 6pm kickoffs, Snead looks really good, t-shrits ripping off Mr Peanut, cantankerous OM fans on other SEC message boards shoveling wheelbarrows of cyber attitude, a solid stable of backs, best D-line in conference/nation talk.....

Without using the J-word, Am I the only one feeling, um.... portentous?

My biggest concern these last few weeks is keeping our players out of trouble. DISCLAIMER => I'm not saying we have bad kids!!! I'm merely noting that every day another player from Bama, Arky, Miss St, etc. is getting arrested by the po-po and it's scaring me. This to me is our wildcard that we have to hope our kids are too busy training to go out and get in trouble.

Okay, okay I am trying to channel the learned professor from the left coast since he has not chimed in yet.....I think he would say....


"Optimism is for Sissies" 8)

But we have already established that I am a sissy with the whole crying thing, so I remain (cautiously) optimistic.

You get a pass based on the Ripley's moment. It's only good until the baby is born and then all bets are off.

I'm just going to climb into a bottle of Jim Beam on Aug 30th at 3pm and not exit until the season is over. I want OM to succeed so badly that the inevitable mis-steps along the way hurt like a thousand hot needles poking my eyes. Maybe Jim will help a little.

Just remember if there were no bogeys, birdies would lose some of their luster. 8)

That was an interesting saying. Ever thought of a book something along the lines of Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul?
