Reminds me of a story I heard. In 1989 Bama had to go play at Jordan-Hare for the first time. For decades they had been saved from going to Auburn because the game was always in Birmingham. In any event, the person (a Bammer) telling the story says that they are standing in line at will call behind an elderly man who was an Alabama fan. Meanwhile some Auburn fans start yelling in their direction saying: “Go to hell Alabama! Go to hell Alabama!!!!”
The old man angrily shoots a look at the Barnies and screams “WE ARE IN HELL!!!!!”
My 2 year old knows 8 colors, the one traditionally that starts with ‘o’ he knows as ‘ugly’. We’ve lived in Montgomery for years and now in Auburn so we’re surrounded by it. We don’t use the ‘o’ word. I’m gonna make his kindergarten teacher earn her money trying to convince him that color isn’t “ugly”.
The first time I took my now 7 year old son hunting, he rebuked me asking, “why dad are you wearing that color! I thought we didn’t wear that!” I had to explain that the overintrusive government makes us wear that color for our safety because it stands out, no one in their right mind would ever wear it so makes you stand out.
“A lot coaches during the recruiting process will do things just to attract you. They will make you think that they’re this type of person just to get you to go to that school. And then you get there, and sometimes it’s completely different, the person is completely different. And with Coach Richt, you could see him doing that during the recruiting process and it’s like ‘Man, I hope he stays that way if I sign there.’ And once I committed, same way. Once I signed, same way...” -- Shaun McGee, AJ-C, 5/22/13
D,JD!
And a meme is born.

True or not. That’s damn funny.

What’s up with the smiley face in the upper right corner of the page?
Big Brother.
Aaahhh, yes. Bammer Child Rearin’ 101.
The kid’s name is probably Brodie SaBear Ledbetter.
I wonder if they’ve asked Saban to autograph him, yet.
I believe you meant to say they haven’t asked Saban to “touch their baby.”
Even after a year that is just freaky and disturbing
Those Tech fans just keep reinforcing the stereotype, don’t they?
