    I can't even begin to add anything to this story

    ..........
    We stayed there to 4 a.m., making sure our offering was safe. It needed to be there for people like that to know the tradition and not just the name.

    Somebody had to feed The Bear.

    ***
    We left cola and chips at Bryant's feet for 12 weeks.

    .............If those cheap bags of potato chips and glass bottles of cola did anything, it was no good. Maybe it was because someone always moved them by kickoff, or maybe in Football Heaven, The Bear had quietly switched his preference to Pepsi and Lays.

    Or maybe it just worked differently than we thought.

    A month after initial rebuffs, championship-winning coach Nick Saban decided he had spent enough time with the Miami Dolphins to know the college game was his home. The athletics department offered him $32 million, and he was immediately here shaking hands and stealing other guys' recruits.

    The Bear doth work in mysterious ways.

    Here is one of the comments:

    Posted 02/20/2007 Maybe, if you leave a bottle of Jim Beam or Jack at the place of your idol, your beloved tide might finish the season better then .500. Everybody knows the Bahr enjoyed whiskey more then coke.

    They have such high hopes that I almost, almost, feel sorry for them.

    Mama needs a vacation. Is there a statue of Billy Cannon somewhere that I can offer fake money?

    Those Bama fans just can't seem to stop living in the past. Pathetic is a good description for them.
