Friends, I heard a story yesterday that I felt is worth sharing with you all.
In the heat of the battle against LSU on Saturday, Kodi Burns took a shot to the chin that cut open his lip and knocked out two of his teeth.
Kodi came to the sidelines with the teeth in his hand.
The trainers sewed his mouth up, wiped off the blood and Kodi went right back in the game and ran the ball as hard as ever.
He never quit.
The game was a tough, tough loss, but none of our players ever quit.
They scored their only touchdown of the night on the last play of the game.
One thing I noticed was that the LSU student section got there early, stayed late and made a lot of noise until the very end.
They made the difference for their team.
We play Ole Miss on Saturday in a game that we need to win to become bowl eligible.
Between now and Saturday, you might see signs or stickers that simply say "11:21, be the difference."
We had those signs and stickers made to remind all of you that kickoff is early on Saturday.
It's at 11:21 a.m. and you need to be there to "be the difference."
We need to get there early, stay late and be loud to show our team we are behind them no matter what.
This season is not even close to being over.
There are some big games left that we can win, but we need your help to give our team the home-field advantage that Jordan-Hare Stadium has always been known for!
11:21.
Get there early.
Stay late.
Be loud.
Be the difference.
War Eagle!
