Nope. I did not die sometime last week. I felt like death for a couple days though, as I prepared for and participated in a trial in federal court. Even when it was over I was wiped out (of course you know I won). Therefore, no blog post recapping the monumental win over Mississippi State and the heart stopper on the road at Georgia. I hate that I didn't have the time or strength for a post though because Ole Miss finally experienced some success and I wanted to write about it. For most of the last couple years there's not been much positive to write and now that Andy Kennedy and his scrappy Rebel squad finally gave me something to work with I didn't have time...
Therefore, I'm making time. Andy Kennedy, you're awesome. This pat on the back is for you.
After losing at Auburn two Saturday's ago I was about ready to pronounce the date of death of your basketball team. I wasn't the only one. You listened not. You kept coaching. You changed your game plan. You narrowed the minutes. You got the right people the ball down low. You kept your team believing and you inspired them to play to their potential or maybe even beyond. You got big performances from Reggie Buckner and Terrance Holloway. Your team made shots (finally). You won on the road and you beat a Top 20 in State rival at home for the first time in five games.
You took a team that had lost its confidence and its leading scorer and was headed in what appeared to be the wrong direction and you got it turned around.
Andy Kennedy, GREAT JOB!
I don't get to say that often enough on this blog and I didn't want to miss the opportunity.
The season isn't over by any stretch, but I believe in blunt truth, honesty and in sharing my opinion at all times, even when it's good. Too often it's negative, but I can only work with what you Ole Miss coaches give me. I'm quick to point out bad coaching, so it's only fair to compliment good coaching.
So here's to you Andy Kennedy. Great job. Keep up the good work, and so on and so forth. Beat Florida. You know the drill...
