I was also thinking it might possibly extend to the loss of a beloved pet… especially if that pet is punted off a bridge by an angry motorcyclist that you’ve inadvertently assaulted with a hot burrito.

We Are Marshall works although I wanna punch McConaughey in the face in that movie to knock that stupid look off his face.

The Blind Side also comes close (although the book got to me more than the movie).
As a matter of fact, Kyle, you can cry at anything you want without fear of mockery…after the Erk Russell nomination you get a permanent pass on just about everything in my book.

Didn’t the film feature a Tech loss? The film has merit for that, at least.

As a boy, I went to major league baseball games with my father, and, as a father, I have gone to major league baseball games with my son. Lewis Grizzard once wrote that, when a father takes his son to a major league baseball game, it creates a bond between them that won’t be easily broken, even in the face of subsequent separations such as death and divorce. Given Lewis’s strained relationship with his own father, that’s a pretty strong statement.

If “Field of Dreams” got to you, you’re all right.

Ingram isn’t our team. He’s obviously our go to guy, but we have other backs who can fill the role. Will they do as good a job? Probably not. Ingram is a special player with an amazing skill set. But if there is a position or a team that can overcome one players struggles, its alabama.

. . . but the track record of Heisman Trophy winners in the postseason is undeniable. Something is making all these top-shelf players come up short in bowl games. I think my explanation (a combination of media distractions and opponents’ motivation) makes sense, but, even if I’ve missed the real reason entirely, history says what it says.

I’m rooting for Alabama and I think the Crimson Tide clearly are a better team than Texas. If Colt McCoy had won the Heisman, a ‘Bama victory would have been a mortal lock. Now, I’m not so sure.
