Bear Bryant story

[Snorts]

There was an article posted on SEC Rant about the Bear, so I thought I's toss this one out.

At the Henry E Frnka clinic in San Antonio we were lucky to get to listen to Bear Bryant one year.  He spoke about staff development, was VERY down to earth, treating all of us High School peons as equals in the coaching world, and told this joke.

Seems an English teacher and a Coach died at the same time and found themselves together facing Saint Peter.

"As we have just one opening, and you both lived marginal lives, we will have a contest to see who gets in," Saint Peter announces.

The Coach, being of a competitive nature, smiles as the teacher blanches.

"You must come up with a poem that uses the word 'Timbuktu'" Saint Peter announces.
Coach blanches, teacher smiles.

After a few minutes pass, it is time for the results.
The teacher steps up with a big grin.

"As I was walking on the shore
Listening to its pounding roar
A mighty ship hove into view
Its destination Timbuktu."

Saint Peter nods, impressed, as the teacher smiles in triumph.

The Coach, sweating, delivers:

"As Tim and I a'walking went
We spied three maidens in a tent.
As they were three and we were two
I bucked one and Tim bucked two."

Not that great, I know, but combine the setting and the legend delivering it in his low growl, it was a memorable moment.

That's pretty damn great.  I can hear it in his voice.😂😂
