I don't know if anybody here has read this, and if it's been posted already... Hell, it's funny. Enjoy all that is Alabama football THIS IS ALABAMA FOOTBALL It's getting serenaded with "Rocky Top" by the Minnesota band after losing a 3rd-tier bowl game. It's worshipping an old dead drunk. It's losing cases in courtrooms from Memphis to Tuscalooser and still thinking you were innocent. It's losing 9 of 10 to Tennessee and still thinking you're better. It's claiming 12 national titles when no one else with half a brain recognizes you with more than 6. It's making fun of other team's "half a national championship," when most of the ones you claim were shared. It's claiming a national championship after losing to Mississippi State and Vandy. It's claiming national championships after losing your bowl game. It's having five coaches in five years. It's two probations for cheating in less than 10 years. It's going to Hawaii to get beat and calling it a bowl game. It's having moral victory after moral victory. The biggest tradition is buying and bidding on players. It's knowing your the best team everytime you get beat. It's knowing that the refs are against you. It's knowing that the NCAA is against you. It's knowing that Tennessee owns you. It's waking up to nightmares of hearing "Rocky Top" over and over and over. Mike Price. It's watching you go through 4 coaches in 2 years. It's having head coaches leave for places like Duke, Kentucky, UTEP, and Texas A&M. It's having your 5th choice for HC turn you down. It's watching Tommy Tuberville AND Phil Fulmer having as many SEC wins at Bryant-Denny Stadium as your own Head Coach. I's remembering when losing by any margin at home to Auburn didn't make THEM fall in the polls. It's hoping that Northern Illinois doesn't show up again to ruin homecoming. It's reminiscing of Shula's Greatest Game - a win over Southern Miss. It's offering Ole Miss walk-ons football scholarships. It's sharing a home field with the Blazers. It's fans proudly displaying toilet paper rolls and empty detergent boxes when the whole world can see that you don't know how to use either. It's having a Million Dollar Band and two million dollar defensive line. It's decades of ignorantly mocking your arch rival for being named the Tigers and yelling "War Eagle" when you're called the Crimson Tide and have an elephant walk the sidelines. It's giving your head coach a contract extension after going 4-9 and 6-6. It's giving your head coach a contract where he can earn a bonus for winning 7 games - and the bonus remaining unpaid. It's throwing bricks through your coach's window after a 10 win season. It's knowing that Notre Dame takes pride in saying "Well, at least we're not as bad as Alabama". It's having a head coach realize that the ugliest stripper in Pensacola was prettier than the Alabama coaching job. It's running off your backup QB by playing him with a concussion. It's having a losing record since January 1st 2000. It's being the fourth best football team in your state. It's refusing to play those teams unless mandated by the state government. It's forfeiting games for playing an ineligible player for an entire season. It's getting caught cheating while still on probation. It's having the AD with the most experience hiring Head Coaches in the nation, yet worst track record. And last but not least, it's being the victim of a conspiracy 15 years in the making involving Phillip Fulmer, the NCAA, the FBI and Osama Bin Laden.
Actually I kinda like this thread because I hate Bama..... And all they stand for, which is cheating anyway they can to gain an edge over other SEC teams in recruiting and then "winning" SEC Titles at their SEC bretherens expense. Here are a few other Bama tidbits which are also tributes to Alabama football: *It's having a head coach whine about referees using a video replay to get a call correct about a non-existant fumble. *It's having that same coach blame that call on the loss and calling it a turning point of the game when the correct call was made. *It's having a head coach lie publicly (on TV) while denying sexual harrassment charges from his secretary. *It's having a head coach admit a week later that he lied and actually did commit sexual harrassment. *It's having a head coach's salary docked 300-400 Grand to pay for the sexual harrassment out of court settlement. *It's keeping a liar on as head coach after the sexual harrassment fiasco became public knowledge and after the head coach admits he lied to Bama Administration including the Chancellor of the University. *It's blaming the other SEC schools, Roy Kramer, Phil Fulmer, and the NCAA for cheating your asses off for decades and finally getting caught. *It's keeping your Athletic Director around after the Bama Athletic department suffered TWO CONSECUTIVE FOOTBALL PROBATIONS under two different football coaching staffs and suffering a basketball probation in the same time period. Three major probations of Bama athletic teams in a 10-12 year period and the Bama A.D. is STILL THERE? Who do you think hired the cheating SOB's? Who hired Mike Price? Amazing. After all that and the Bama arrogance continues.
Re: Actually I kinda like this thread because I hate Bama..... ooooooooh oooooooooh.....:grin: :wave:
Re: Actually I kinda like this thread because I hate Bama..... I dunno, but this is a damn good point. The good ole boy network is alive and well.
Re: Actually I kinda like this thread because I hate Bama..... The problem is, it isn't true. Probations? Yes. Athletic Director being the same. No.
