Thank you Coach Mac...

      Let's take the time to congratulate Coach McElwain for being hired as the new head coach at Colorado State University. He is now a CSU Ram. He has done a wonderful job at Alabama. He may be on the verge of winning a second national championship with a first year starter at Quarterback. Average coaches can't do that. It's been a good run for both the coach and those of us who know him and respect his abilities. Fort Collins is a lot like Tuscaloosa only in the Rocky Mountains. Coach will feel right at home. The Colorado people are all top shelf, and they are getting a top shelf coach. It's a good fit for everyone.  We knew we couldn't keep Coach Mac for ourselves forever. Thank heavens he got a great job... I have no doubt that in a couple of years the PAC 12 is going to say "hey, we got the wrong Colorado team, guys."


     In 1969 some great guys at a fraternity took me in for a month when a road trip went awry. The Red Door of Friendship was more than just words to those guys. I've already talked with  couple of those young men, now much older,  to let them know just how lucky we were to have him and how lucky they are to get him. Mac's leaving will only inspire the offense to give him a very unique going away present. I can't tell you what it is but it will be wrapped in Crimson and White falling confetti.According to sources on the team Coach Mac gave them a rousing inspirational  speech not only about the upcoming game, but who the kids need to be in life. 


                                 Roll Tide Coach. We will miss you !!!!
