I love The SEC. I love Bragging Rights. Even when you have to park next to it every day at work. Randy James played for Vince Dooley at Georgia back in the 1970s and he works down on the 2nd floor in our building. Fate brings his truck with that National Championship sticker (pictured above) next to my Stelvio from Alfa Romeo Birmingham. No scratches, no dents…just a reminder that Alabama lost their last game and The Dawgs broke a 41-year National Championship drought. Randy played and spilled blood for UGA, and he’s a great guy. Yep, I met the driver of the truck, he stopped by the studio this morning to say he was the owner of the truck. We laughed. We talked about football. He deserves this joy. I love The SEC. – Jim Dunaway
