| | | Sometimes..sometimes
it's very hard to keep supporting your team. 
To understand where I'm coming from, in the State of Alabama, College Footall is the top of the mountain. No NFL, No NBA and No MLB. To live here, most either support Alabama, or the redheaded step child Auburn.
My team, Alabama is (IMHO) beyond hope of fixing. At one point, I figured Gene Stallings (After having to deal with Ray Perkins and Bill Curry for 7 years) would reclaim the high regard of the Tide. Sadly the AD decided to step forth (with the backing of the 'Good Ole Boy Club' and reign him in...(in other words forced him out).
Then came Mike Dubose (A chosen of the 'Good Ole Boy Club') and with him came chaos / shame.
By a grace of the unknown...the GOBC had enough pressure put on them to force him out.
Only to be replaced with another Gene Clone (Dennis Franchione) that the GOBC realized they couldn't control. IMHO a last grasp for Alabama to rise again. Killed by the people who claim to have the future of Alabama in mind.
With his departure, the GOBC then goes back to "Bear" mode and hires Mike Price (With the future of the School in mind.  ) And where oh where does this lead for the GOBC...a Strip Joint in Pensacola, with a hotel bill of over a $1000.00...charged to the School!
And finally today..I hear the GOBC is now looking at another "Bear" boy...and I have a feeling this will only lead to even worst problems in the future.
Paul W Bryant "Bear" A great coach, sadly he had to have a child (Paul W Bryant jr.) with the pull to control and ruin a school.

My ex-local team (lived near their training ground for a few years) is almost relegated to 1st division. Not that I have complain, though, as I didn't like the way the board treated Harry Rednapp, after their victory over Man Utd in FA Cup last season.

I am also hoping that QPR get promoted, and that Doncaster rejoin the football league (great play off against Chester yesterday!)
@Tammy LMAO! yes, indeed

Ysh, I heard. I have yet to feel that particular insult, however it was damn close this season. Commiserations to you.

There is no god.
BTW. The 'stripper' was in his hotel room overnight. She's either something a tad racier, or he was considering her for a postion on the team. Judging from the picture, that might have been the best defense.
