From Bubba Watson, the golfer, to Bubba Smith, the NFL football player, to Bubba Wallace, the Nascar racer, America looks up to a number of "Bubbas" and with good reason.

Here in the South, just about everyone's got a Bubba in their family! (They just don't talk about him much) Of course, Bubba is a term of endearment used primarily for the older brother in the family by his younger siblings.

Well, today we celebrate Bubba in all his glorious "Bubbaness!" Generally speaking, Bubba is trustworthy, kind, loyal, resourceful, courteous and deserving of all our respect; though, on occasion, his real redneck shines through.

But just like Chris Young sings in the song "Famous Friends", we might have some famous friends other people have never heard of. Let me restate that, we've got some famous "Bubbas" others might have never heard of.
