Looks like it was a great time to interview Terry Bowden. His 2009 University of North Alabama Lions are undefeated and raned Number 1 in the nation in Division II NCAA football. He's also a serious candidate for Div. II Coach of the Year (you can vote for him here), and he was, of course, featured in an article I wrote for the September-October issue of Thicket magazine.

I shared the link to the story on Thicket's website recently, but now you click below to see how the article looked in the print edition. The photos are by the always impressive Jason Wallis. Let me know what you think.

I had the opportunity to interview several Alabama football legends for Thicket Magazine recently. They were Bart Starr and Fred Sington, Jr., both of whom played for the University of Alabama in the 1950s, and Pat Sullivan and James "Red" Phillips.

Phillips' was a real interesting interview, in particular. He played on the 1957 Auburn team that won a national championship before playing in the NFL for the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings. He had several funny stories to tell about life in football, including a great piece about Dick Bass, a teammate on the Rams from Mississippi who, let's just say, was something of a prankster. Read the entire story on the Thicket website here.

It's about time. The Republican National Committee has finally gotten around to creating an ad placing the blame for the subprime mortgage crisis squarely where it belongs - the Democratica Party.

Why it didn't come out BEFORE this colossal, socialist bailout last week is anyone's guess. Better late than never, I suppose.

Enjoy!
