33 years ago Bear Bryant died. 3 quotes: "It's not the will to win that matters..everybody has that

[oletex]

It's the will to prepare to win that matters"

"It's awfully important to win at anything with humility. It's also important to lose. I hate to lose worse than anyone but if you never lose you won't know how to act. If you lose with humility and don't make excuses then you can come back"

"There's not a person alive that won't face some awfully bad days. Your house burns down or your wife runs off with the drummer and leaves you with the kids. Or you get fired from your job. Most people will lay down and quit. What are you going to do then? I teach my people to fight back. And I don't mean with your fists. It's easy to be a fighter when everybody is slapping you on the back. But the true test is when everybody has given up on you. And that time comes for everybody"

I'll never forget the day I got fired, went home to a burning house with a note pinned to a tree, it read, ''I'm off with a drummer, taking the kids and setting the house on fire..PS Bama beat Georgia today, it was signed, Your Loving Wife.''
That took some getting over, but there's always a next season.

I remember that day.

Republicans better read those quotes. All of that and more is about to happen to them in November!

Oh, yeah...and there's one additional quote that definitely applies to Republicans:

"NEVER GO FULL RETARD!"
