We quoted them like lines from Caddy Shack. We ll have them with us forever. All words of incredible significance, great power if put into actions. We all know them and revere them and purport to conduct our lives by them. But most of us realize that life often comes and goes day by day without grand opportunities to put these grand words into such literal action.
Philosophies trickle into our choices and that s the ultimate effect.
We sing these words and swell our chests with pride when others speak them, but we know we probably won t be called upon to be so brave, so actively loyal and chivalrous. We won t be tested to the degree romanticized in these passages. Well, my SEC friends, the time has indeed come. An event is alive that will test you, let you see if you truly revere these words. We all talk a great game to rival fans about how we answer a higher calling, have higher standards, live by a higher code, and how we are a closer family than any college clan out there.
