Love that movie with Gary Cooper.

That scene is one of the most moving conversion scenes I’ve watched in a film. It captured both the intensity of the personal experience with the uniqueness of the country church in the style of Sandy Creek instead of Charleston style church.

The song verse reminds me of Alvin, in the movie Sargent York. Alvin was the most decorated soldier that served in WWI.
If you haven’t seen the movie, you should!

I had a real problem with Chizik’s implied point that God favored Auburn in dramatic wins.

I don’t have a problem with religion in sports. I think there is a place for it just like there is a place for it in any profession if the person wants it to be part of who they are.

I do FIND it interesting who the people talking about God tend to be when it comes to recruiting.

As sincere as you are, it’s just never a good idea to credit God directly with something like a football game, a football recruiting haul, or anything else to do with the game of football.

Say “We’re blessed…”

Say “We’re thankful…”

But bring God into a situation where the world clearly knows payola just happened early and often to get those kind of athletes to come to a lower teir school like Ole Miss, and you just sound like a tele-evangelistic idiot.
