Furman Grad, Sociology major but it was little tougher than Auburn football players had Had three dates with beautiful women the summer of 1978. Did not marry any of em. Never married anybody cause what was available was undesirable and what was desirable was unaffordable. Unlucky in love as they say and even still it is sometimes heartbreaking. Had a Pakistani Jr. Davis Cupper on the Ropes the summer of 84, City Courts, Rome Georgia I've a baby sitter, watched peoples homes while they were away on Vacation. Freelance writer, local consultant, screenwriter, and the best damn substitute teacher of Floyd County Georgia in mid 80's according to an anonymous kid passed me on main street a few years later when I went back to get a sandwich at Schroeders. Had some good moments in Collinsville as well. Ask Casey Mattox at www.clsnet.org if he will be honest about it. I try my best to make it to Bridges BBQ in Shelby NC at least four times a year.

Ruby Sayles, Jonathan Daniels and Evan Milligan

   Jonathan Daniels, the Episcopalian Priest assassinated in Lowndes County Alabama in 1964 is in bust in London as a great martyr of the 20th Century. He intercepted a bullet intended for Ruby Sayles. Marshall Frady of Furman was in town that fall to cover the trial, one of his first big stories for Newsweek just two years out of Furman.

    Ruby Sayles is close to the family of Evan Milligan who made national news yesterday recharting gerrymandered congressional districts in Alabama. It could change the makeup of the US house next fall to the chagrin of Tommy Tuberville and Katie Britt and Will Ainsworth, but to the delight of the extended families of most of the football players for the Crimson Tide and the Auburn War Eagles.

   Even Alabama can't remain as MAGA Hypocritical and christian nationalist of Rick Burgess and Yellowhammer News for Eternity. 

   I think Nick Saban has a conscience and every once in a while he and Greg Sankey have a moment of conscience. I hope this registers with them and they take up the mantle with Paul Finebaum.

    All snark aside given the cauldron in which nobility often operates, Great day for America.

    Read more on Milligan and his story as this story evolves.
