Alabama, the old establishment of the South, has found new blood. Their atrocities are too numerous for me to mention everyone, but let's not forget them playing with illegal players or fat linemen that cost 200 grand. They use the excuse that they have been hurt by probation for the last 20 years as to why they haven't been up to their own standard, but let's imagine all the players in the 70's, 80's, and 90's that they had when money came rolling in. Racketeering U has been at it a long time. You can't be an open braggart any longer these days about paying for players or giving them $100 handshakes just as you can't be an open klansman in Alabama anymore without getting a few FBI officials on your tail - I think. Well, in Alabama, maybe you can, but nowhere else except maybe Mississippi.
Nick Satan has arrived and restored much needed discipline to their program, but I'm not convinced he's squeaky clean as Michigan State was one of the schools on Albert Means list until the very end. Saban has been proven to be a bold-faced liar and just a general douche to his fellow coaches, but somehow they win wherever he goes, until....he leaves. It will be tough for him to cough up $4 mil unless he gets tired of living in the sticks or he gets a better offer from another pro team that has any talent whatsoever. It looks like for the foreseeable future that they may have a pretty good situation, especially if Obama starts handing out freebies to the poor...maybe they will dress the place outside the campus up a little bit. While driving from Montgomery to Tuscaloosa years ago on business, I got to see Alabama the beautiful in all its' glory; even the black folks had yard jockeys in front of their trailers.
Even with all the hatred that I have for the bammers, I can't help feel bad for them for some things. After all, anytime Hollywood needs to throw in a hick, rebel, redneck, ignorant, uneducated, mouth-breathing inbred, they use their mobile sets to travel to either Alabama or West Virginia. Heck, they can't even claim Lynard Skynard....their from Jacksonville. I even feel sorry for Bear Bryant. Just when you think your resting in peace in the afterlife, Logan Young comes along and starts jock-sniffing you again. The third Saturday in October is always fun to look forward to, and as bad as we can't stand em', this rivalry is one of the nation's best. Let's work like heck and kick some Tide ass. GO VOLS!!!
Go Vols.

Good post little bro! Although I will disagree about feeling sorry for anything to do with the tide! As I told you, along with the other similarities, maggots and Bama fans have this in common: Both groups can feed for twenty five years off of a dead bear! What I REALLY hate is people from Tennessee who "become" Bama fans! Although most of them have now moved on to Gaytors since Bama has sucked for the past decade!
