Ruff waters ahead ...

What a day. People are screaming like Chicken Little with a megaphone about our new boss like he's bringing the fourth reich to LSU, a very sweet - but visually impaired - old lady played demolition derby with my car in the Wal-Mart parking lot, and one of my favorite people I've ever met passed away this morning.

Coach Sue Gunter died this morning after a long, long struggle with emphysema and pneumonia. She will be talked about as one of the great coaches, but she was an even greater person.

The following is a story I got to write on her, strictly by accident, but I'm glad I did. It was the only time I got to meet her, and she acted like we had known each other all along.
