I guess that relating the idea that his life "belongs" to them went right over some peoples heads.
The response from these people makes it seem as if they think they own him simply because he played football in their town.

If Alabamians had their way, the 13th amendment wouldn't apply at all.
Nevada legalizes prostitution, Washington & Colorado legalize weed, Utah legalizes plural marriage.... Alabama re-instituting slavery will be the next battle in states-rights.

Marketing fail -- Alabama fans pride themselves on being uneducated. The Wal-Mart fans (East coast term, but I suspect you get it) view themselves as true fans and view the alumni as supporters who don't have a choice in which team to root for.
Hailing from the great State of Alabama, I tire of this motif, so don't take it too personally when I suggest you go have a turd sandwich for lunch.
My gosh man, how many states are you from? Arky, Louisiana, Alabama, Houston area?
I think his Houston time was in Pasa-getdown-dena, so I'll take, "parents in the petrochemical field" for $500, Alex.
Well, I lived in H Town 11 years, before that, Alabama for five. My extended family is situated in the ArkLaTex, so I am in those areas on a regular basis. My pops was a muckity muck for a defense contractor, so I moved around a lot. I have also spent quite a bit of time in the Seattle area, a brief stint in FL near Cape Canaveral, and Cali, as well as Denver. Now in Denver, no plans to go elsewhere.
damn straight, but Pops was at JSC. Gramps was an oilfield roughneck, pops was a EE.
Horn Blares. Alex Trabec: "No, Sorry. The answer of course is "What is a defense contractor muckity muck". -500 dollars.
Just curious lefty. My dad was oil, so I've moved quite a bit too.
It's cool. When pepople ask where I am from, I usually say "all over". Odd fact of the day, went to school with Bobby Burton and John Evans of the John Evans band while in H Town.
I guess I forgot about your family ties to JSC, if you mentioned them before. JSC Alumni rep!
Long Live the Jalapeno Tree...:lol:
Leave it to Lefty to bring a H-Town detour back on topic. Or was that the beginning of a run of Spruce puns?
I'm from the State of Bliss.
:lol:
Yeah, your sophisticated comment went over the heads of everyone. Thanks for setting me straight. Your post was not a tasteless cheap shot, but rather a stark commentary on psychological states of people in the Deep South.
You're too close to this one to really understand it Duff. Also, you're late on your Tobacco shipment.
