Tommy Tuberville Loses Touch With Reality
Ahh, Tommy. Face it -- you aren't number one. You didn't make it to the big dance. And, quite frankly, what you are suggesting is little different than taking your sister to prom and calling her a 'date'.
Somebody -- the Football Writers Association perhaps -- will crown Auburn No. 1, Tuberville believes. And when they do, he said the team will receive national championship rings.
"I've got a subscription to Golf Digest. I'm going to call them and ask them if they'll vote us No. 1. It means as much as the other ones. I'm telling you, when you went 13-0, you should be national champion. There's no doubt about it. We've done all we can do."
Check that. It's little different than taking your sister to prom, calling her your 'date', then trying to get a good night kiss when you bring her home.
Don't get me wrong -- Auburn had a good run.
So did Utah -- who, by the way, beat the crap out of their opponent and never had to 'hold on' to win the game.
Neither are national champions.
That title is reserved, of course, for my beloved Sooners, who will win their EIGHTH national title this evening.
The Sooners will deserve to wear the rings. The Tigers won't -- and no amount of softshoeing will change that simple fact.
