      I went to a high school in a rural community, so it might not surprise you that school fistfights were often scheduled to take place at a local bridge over Snider’s Creek. The greatest humiliation was both losing the fight & getting dropped in the creek. You lose AND you’re wet

      Watched one of these fights once, & it occurred to me that I had a great amount of disdain in my heart for both of the fighters. It was unlikely both would end up wet, but I secretly hoped it would happen, because…well, hell, these guys are fighting on a bridge AND they’re jerks

      That’s why I packed myself as one of six people into Brian Dunning’s tan 70s-era Bobcat and rumbled down Highway AB to Snider’s Creek. I wanted to see both of those guys bleed in the creek. I’m not proud of this, but, I’m also not proud of the mullet I was developing at the time.

      It was a prurient activity, this bloodlust and desire to see school a school tough humiliated, if not on a worldwide stage, at least in the middle of a Greene County hay field. And, listen…we didn’t really have the internet at the time, so this was pretty much our Snapchat.

      This is stretching longer than I intended, so here’s the point: The fight was between a guy named Logger (yes, Logger) & another guy whose—despite being the guy I liked less—has vanished over decades of what I’ll carefully euphemise as “self-care.” It was a short fight.

      On that fine day in a field just outside of a small town called Willard, I got to watch a guy I didn’t like humiliate a guy I liked even less. Dropped him with his fist and then dropped him in the creek. Beat AND wet.

      Nearly 30 years later, I still find it satisfying. And again, I’m not proud of this or the fact that I hope it’s still a painful memory for the nameless bully.

      And, so yes, this way-too-extended metaphor was the first thing thought of when I turned on my TV and saw what was happening in the #SECChampionship. This won’t translate for many of you, but if it takes screaming #GoDawgs in order to #BeatBama, then okay.

      I mean, ideally, both of them would end up humiliated and wet in the creek, obviously. But since that can’t happen, I’m just here to satisfy my decades-long need to see tough guys get soaking wet. (Sorry about this. I apparently needed to share.)
