Fun with Bobby Petrino

Funny (and TRUE) stuff...Still, the WHOLE story, Allison and everything else as well, begs to be told in its OWN "Ballad of Bad Bobby".Like everyone here in Austin, I have my 70-year-old Gibson J-45 (you don't get past City Limits with your pick-up full of your possessions without a quality axe in the cab with you) and a hankering to play at least 1/2-an-hour a day, along with the prescription medicines you find yourself taking when you're "old as dirt" like me (I'm probably better off just ignoring that line, E-, but it is in my nature to "take the bull by the balls"--been waiting to use that line by Dean Wermer in "Animal House" for YEARS!)--maybe I'LL take a crack at that tune, you know, break some glass...
When I said you were old as dirt, it was a term of reverence and respect. Out of the active posters here, you have the most perspective on the Pre-Spurrier and Pre-Meyer eras. I can remember the Galen Hall Era very well, but Charley Pell Era is hit or miss. Before that is all secondhand from my uncle.
Oh don't worry about it E-, I got a laugh out of it, and I caught most of the intended nuances, I think.
...Hey, I'm LUCKY--I have the benefit of experience to temper my once self-destructive, know-it-all arrogance (didn't we all have that once, when we were "young"--I mean, "stupid-young"?--Even so, I may well have been MORE arrogant, more apt to be described, "Seldom does one meet a young man who thinks so much of his own ideas with so little grounds for doing so...")--but I still LOOK at least 15 years younger than my actual age (going by what people, mostly women I meet, guess/assume my age is). This was a pain when I WAS young, getting carded right up until I was almost 40 (I believe 40 was the last year that it happened, as I recall--you've hit "middle age" when you're HAPPY and flattered to be carded, I remember thinking), but is an undoubted piece of good fortune and good genes by now (my Dad too had this combination of vanity and luck: his 2nd wife was a lot closer to my age than his, not that I was particularly thrilled or happy with this at 17). I guess I can thank him for my last 3 or 4 young and sexy girlfriends, heredity-wise, though--I could say more on this subject, but I'm probably WAY over the "TMI-line" here already!
Certainly have taken "the scenic route" off-topic, though...
