Jim's words on JFB resonate, don't they? Thanks, Jim.

Today is one of those days I'm glad Clay Henry is also writing about the Hogs. The Henry's and the Broyles' were always closely connected.
I am a Hog fan. I was long before my name was etched, twice, on the sidewalks on the Hill. I will be long after Sam Pittman and Eric Mussleman are coaches, and Hunter Yuracheck is AD. I am a Hog fan when we win, when we lose and when we don't play. I love hearing the UA band play the National Anthem on game day, but I sing along to the Alma Mater. I am a Hog fan.<br /><br />A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching. - Bart Giamatti <br /><br />"It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away, I'm looking for the truth,' and so it goes away. Puzzling." ― Robert M.

Prayers sent
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

prudence. Dickart History of Kershaws Brigade.

On the question of whether Broyles stayed on too long:

I feel the same way about him as I do about Bobby Bowden. He earned the right to exit on his own terms.
