That Man Is A Walk On
« on: January 10, 2023, 09:39:14 AM »
Has anyone heard the greatest story in the history of college football, hell, maybe in all of sports?  Of course, I'm speaking of Stetson Bennett, Jr. XXVIVX.

The guy was a walk on.  Don't you people understand that?  Is that not registering with you?  He was a WALK ON!!!! 

Since the beginning of time, no walk on in any sport has ever had even the slightest modicum of success.  Until Stetson Bennett, Sr. VIIXXY.

And do you know what else?  Get ready.  Brace yourselves.  Okay, here goes.....Everyone said he couldn't do it. EVEN HIS OWN COACHES!!!!

No, seriously.  Everyone.  Crazy, isn't it?

How could anyone overcome such incredible odds?  You know, being a walk on.  And everyone, including your coaches, saying you can't do it. 

I hope Amazon quickly delivers my Stetson Bennett, III, Jr. XVIXX 13 jersey.  I may never take it off.

A walk on.  Wow!!!!

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I walked on here as a poor young black kid with nothing to my name but a pack of magnum rubbers and a broken down Ford Ranger.

But Godfather saw fit to give me a chance and a scholarship.  He preyed among the most vulnerable in society. I will forever hate his guts.

I remember when Vince Dooley told Stetson Bennet XIVLLIVILX that he would never do any more than hand the ball off to Herschel.  Wow, he sure proved him wrong.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

Yeah, but initially, Dooley told him he couldn't do it.

I’ve have used his cologne since first came out in 80s.

I mean when cologne came out. To be clear.

I'm just impressed that for once in my lifetime some kid was actually told he would never amount to shit and actually beat incredible odds rather that the stupid shit higher ranked kid's feel compelled to say about nobody believing in them.

I know how it feels to be told at a young age that you will never amount to shit. And then, I know how it feels to prove all of those people who said it, right.

It reminds me of what my grandaddy used to say.

I was a 3 sport athlete in HS. Some would use the term “star” but I prefer to simply say athlete. I don’t want to make a fuss about it or make sure I mention it every other post like CCTE does about being a jock washer at Auburn back in the day.

The only reason that I even bring up the fact that I was an elite athlete and lettered in football, basketball and golf (3 sports for those who are counting) is to mention that incredibly, I was overlooked led by every major D1 program in the country.

I was overlooked by every minor D1 program, too. And every DII, DIII and club football.

Crazy, huh?

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

While we're on the subject, were you aware that David Greene and David Pollack played Pop Warner football together?  True story.

On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

Are you saying the 284 times that Chris Fowler, Dirk Turdskreet, Holly Rowe and Molly McGrath told us was not enough?

I read an interesting and hidden fact today, regarding UGA football. A lot of people are not aware but their quarterback was a walk on.

Hell, we have a walk on and ours is better than there’s. He’s bonafide.
