As it pertains to this blog, like a lot of you, I was born into a Southeastern Conference family. My parents were both Florida Gators, my uncle was a Georgia Bulldog, two of my sisters are Ole Miss Rebels and another is a Tulane Green Wave (formerly an SEC school). One of the Ole Miss Rebels went to medical school at OU in Norman, OK. Of my three best friends in the world, one went to LSU, another went to Mississippi State, and the third is a military veteran and crazy Florida Gators fan. My favorite connection to the SEC, however, is that my beloved daughter, Boops, went to school at Mississippi State (she has her cowbell to prove it).

I live in the Houston area now, so I’m beaten to death with UT and Texas A&M on a daily basis. I have former in-laws that live in Columbia, SC and old friends that live in Columbia, Missouri. And for the sake of transparency, I have two ex-wives that graduated from Ole Miss. You woulda thought after the first one that I…well, nothing. I’m guessing that’s, at least, partially why I’m a big “Hail State” guy now! Just sayin!

I don’t claim to be an expert on anything, but like the rest of you, I do have a passionate opinion on this particular subject, so I’m gonna spend my time voicing it here. Hopefully you will engage with me, and we’ll have some fun.
