I’m sorry, but I would be seriously remiss in my duties as this blog’s proprietor if I didn’t share this special moment with you all.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

On one hand, this is the reason we poke fun at Alabama – no other state can boast of a fanbase with such rubes. On the other hand, the reason that Bama is so successful is that these rubes live their lives for this team. Arguably, no other program brings as much pride to a state as Bama football because they have little else to enjoy.

You’re welcome for the lecture, friend. I’ll take my chances with the Almighty.
Maybe I missed something. Is the “humor” coming from something other than their weight or apparent lack of money? Oh, I noticed that some of you don’t think they are as smart as you are; intelligence being one of those things that is really easy to determine from a picture.
Look at this outside of the context of the internet, and you might see my side of the argument. If a bunch of lawyers, accountants, and other professionals were at a table next to yours at a restaurant and you overheard them gleefully mocking the busboy for being overweight, or for having shitty shoes, what would your reaction be? Maybe you’d join in on the fun, but I hope most people would think, “Boy, what a bunch of assholes.”
The only difference is that in my hypothetical, the busboy probably wouldn’t hear the comments, whereas the ‘Bama fans pictured above will probably be forwarded at least some of the links of everyone taking such joy in mocking their station in life.

As usual, when someone expends this much energy typing out an anonymous internet rant, you’ve missed the point entirely. But hey, at least you feel better about yourself now. That’s the goal, right?

What was the point that I “missed entirely?”
LikeLike
Well, speaking only for myself, I don’t think the picture is funny because of “their weight or apparent lack of money” or any of the other straw men you knitted together. Truth be told, I’m quite a portly fellow myself, and no one would ever accuse me of being rich. No, the funny part to me is that these people stood in a line for hours to have their picture taken with a trophy. I can’t fathom that. It is funny to me. If you can’t understand that, then sue me. And by the way, the fact that they just happened to appear at this big event wearing the same clothes they wore to bed doesn’t indicate a lack of money. It indicates a lack of judgement – which is also mock-worthy in my book. I’ll let others speak for themselves, but that is the point you “missed entirely” about my reaction.
