Thank God for warriors like Luttrell. On the other hand if I were his neighbor I'd be on pins and needles worrying about when the guy might get upon the wrong side of the bed and flatten the neighborhood.
What bagoh20 said...and among the stories about Marcus Lutrell is the true story of how he chased and captured some fools show had shot and killed his dog in his yard. He called the police and waited for them...he did NOT kill the guys who killed his dog.
I would have. It takes real courage to not succumb to anger when you do not have to do so.
I think Bama is a really good team, but I have no idea why in the heck Miss. State (and Ole Miss) climbed the ranks so fast.
Neither have been consistent SEC powerhouses. It would be akin to turning an undefeated Washington State or Minnesota or Northwestern into the top team in the country at like, 6-0. They are their conference's middling teams, who make it to bowls occasionally but rarely pull out the 10 or 11 wins season. Same goes for both Mississippi teams.
A three-loss Auburn is a bad team, yet still ranked at 16. Ole Miss has turned out to be a fraud, and are still in the Top 20.
Texas A&M creaked back into the Top 25 with a win (before losing to Mizzou last week) even after getting drubbed by Bama 59-0.
No team who loses by 59 points deserves to ever be in the Top 25.
SEC teams, while good, are consistently over-ranked to start seasons. This affects everything that comes after those initial rankings. Remember South Carolina beginning the season at like #5? Where are they now?

We are blessed with the ability to develop the most capable men who ever lived, and then we give them the least capable leaders we can find.
Never has a society ever been so wasteful as modern America.
Great clip.
Coincidences? There are no coincidences!

I mean no coincidence between his speaking to Alabama and them going on to win.

"show" = who
That should read "overrated" Mississippi State.
