Tonight I'll be in my usual seat in the VHS press box to watch Ole Miss battle Bama. It is the 5-month anniversary of my release from the hospital. The photo is the day doctors told my family I had would die in a matter of hours. No matter the odds, anything is possible with God.

Today is the day the music died. RIP Eddie Van Halen. When I was a teenager in the 80s, every kid in the neighborhood wanted the Sears replica model of EVH's ax and David Lee Roth's luck with girls... No one will ever duplicate his sound. #RIPEVH

OK. I was and remain all in for women participating in college football. But the SEC naming Vandy's Sarah Fuller as co-special teams player of the week for her kickoff that traveled 30 yards cheapens her accomplishment. It has become PC PR for the SEC at this point. #QuitIt

Just left Lane Kiffin's signing day presser. I asked him about how the NIL has changed the recruiting arena. He issued a wise warning: "Hope players are getting what they're promised." So right.

I understand the seriousness of the ongoing events and I appreciate it, but today may ultimately prove to be the NCAA's undoing. Protect everyone first, but to pull the plug on half the calendar year of sports seems premature. Seems like NCAA pissed off the SEC, too. #NotGood
