Re: [RollTideFan] Cold chills...nothing but cold chills!
Goot one, Slef. Hopefully, we can get it back. Some of them already have it, but the rest should have to read Coach Bryant's quotes every day, before after practice. - Original Message - From: Jeff Todd [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2003 9:31 AM Subject: [RollTideFan] Cold chills...nothing but cold chills!
