(Great blog posts deserve great titles. This is neither – a friend of mine told me she would really prefer it if I could use cleaner, more appropriate titles to my blog posts so she could read them at work. Here you go dear, hope it gets you fired for clicking on this one, pervert)
One of the rare, yet priceless, things in business is loyalty. You know, that thing that no matter how badly you screw up there are people that will bail you out, give you a hand when you really need it, even when you don’t ask for it, stick with you through the good, bad, ugly and great. To people that poses this unique and rare quality that take you to that next level, you owe your total and absolute devotion to.
Loyalty goes both ways….
So after one guy won a Heisman and put your organization on the national stage, won six SEC championships, one national championship it won pretty much every award possible in the college football… you take that guy back the moment you’ve got a gig for him and he is available.
I’ve been a Gator since the day I graduated from the University of Florida and I was there from the national championship to the day Spurrier went to NFL. Spurrier built The Swamp into what it is, and University of Florida told him to suck it.
And while I love the Gator Nation and all its might 364 days a year, there is that one day a year that I am a the biggest fan of University of South Carolina. Go Gamecocks. I hope you crush the Gators, and their SEC championship dreams, for putting their arrogance in front of their loyalty.
