The Evil of Gambling


My sin has found me out yet again. For some reason, in a fit of arrogance and pride, I made a wager with my wife five years ago over the Alabama/LSU match-up. I, being the Alabama alum, promised that I would wear an LSU tie on Sunday morning following the game if the Tigers overcame us, and for the fifth year running, I have to preach in that gaudy tie. The LSU Tigers pulled it off 41-34. May this never happen again, and may my wife have to wear a Crimson and White dress for the next ten years after this game. Meanwhile, I shall repent in dust and ashes. Amen.

We're so sorry...we watched the end of that game...it was quite a painful one to watch.

That's just plain sick.

I was there to witness the demise of saban and the eliphants. It was a sweet victory...

I will admit, however, that LSU could easily be recovering from a four game losing streak right now given how bad we've played in the last four games especially.
