ALABAMA IS A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PLACE: ALABAMA MAAAAAN!
In case you didn’t know, this week’s opponent is the football team from the University of Alabama. Before anything further is said, it must be remembered that this team gave Florida its worst loss of 2005 when a completely and totally unprepared Florida stepped over the piles of obese, uninsured, tank top-wearing corpses and into Bryant-Denny Stadium, where Demeco Ryans proceeded to have his unnatural way with Chris Leak for four quarters of football. We mention this to beat the tired but unfortunately true retort which will accompany any and all mentions of the game this week, which will sound something like “WOOO!! 31-3 Roll Tide YEAAAHHHH!!!!,” usually submitted by someone with an email address ending in “aol.com.”
That said, for this week the target will be Alabama, a horrible place filled with deplorable people doing despicable, lazy things. In that vein, we begin the week of taunting with something we will post every day at 5:30ish until Friday: the ad for “Alabama Man,” the worst action figure you will ever own.
He can bowl! He can drink! He can drink some more! Alabama MAAAAYUUN!

The gag on Loveline isn’t called “Germany or Florida?” for nothing.

Salty Dog is the best of the bars on University, although that wouldn’t be saying a whole lot. The beer selection is better – that is to say there’s more that just Natty and Miller – and the jukebox actually plays some decent music.
That being said, every damn bar out there is the same: Dirty, run down, hot, waaaaayyyyy overcrowded, and filled with people who are too young to actually drink. Not that there’s a problem with drunk teenaged girls or anything. Balls just might be the seediest of the bars though, which I happen to enjoy.
As for comment number 49, I would say that Florida has a little San Francisco in it too, at least if you head down to Key West.

I’ll be there looking for the EDSBS tailgate as well.
It would be nice to drunken myself before the year long slaughter fiesta must come to an end.
Are there even any hotels in Gainesville?
I need a room for Friday night but can not find any.

Adam, this is why you take the LSAT in June. I did and got a 183. 183? Yep, bonus points bitches.
Was there a final ruling on the Marcus Thomas suspension?

We do not have anyone we can put in the shotgun for a designed run on 4th down and 4 and guarantee a first down. We just don’t.
Thing is, I don’t think we would if we could.
That’s in-no-va-tive, man.
Please ask your people to be quiet when our kicker is on the field. A lot of people yelling at him all at once makes him nervous.
Thanks.

Charlie Murphey, hotel rooms in Gainesville sell out about 6 months in advance for football games- you can try Ocala or Lake City, but those might be just as booked- or you can try the Bambi Motel, sometimes they have rooms open up a little early.

I can’t argue with Alabama mayuunn, but in all fairness, I’ve seen more “domestic disputes” in Florida on COPS than any other state. Florida has the market cornered on white trash.

There seems to be a disturbing number of attorneys/law students who read this blog. I hope all of you are billing someone while you are reading EDSBS.
Orson, you need to do something to upgrade your readership.

#20, it’s actually that Michigan is the South of the North. I took a geography class from this professor who had built his career on state based demographics. Every map looked the same… domestic violence, gun violence, alcohol abuse… they were all concentrated in the confederate states, Northern California, and Michigan. Every time. Exactly the same.
The only map that looked different was the one showing Elvis lovers. It looked like a divers flag with the white strip running from LA to NYC representing people who hated him, and the red panels representing people who loved him.

I was disappointed when I read Wisconsin was No. 1 in beer consumption. But at least in Michigan we have better beer.

Let’s face it, if it weren’t for Mississippi, Alabama would be dead last in the state rankings in every important economic, social, and educational demographic. Florida definitely hovers around the bottom 1/3, but I attribute some of that to being the catchall/drain of the U.S. As I was raised in the fine metropolis that is Lake City (#48 — Doug, I’m with you), I have witnessed more than my share of poor white trash. That also means I know what the hell I was looking at driving to and from Tuscaloosa last year, but alas, this blog is about football.
Florida will win this game reducing the Tide to battle it out in the SEC West cellar with Booming Croom and The Orgeron. We might even get to see Reggie “The Human Missile” Nelson decapitate DJ Hall.

All generalizations are false.
Detroit has the highest murder rate, Mississipi is last in everything. What do they have in common?
Everyone seems to study demographics while ignoring the demographics.

I have a room………Thanks for the help.
Alabama is a nice place… sure it has some people who a not exactly up to the jeanshort standards but it a pleasant place.
I live in a county that is the crystal meth capital of the World(not bragging) and it is not in Alabama.
Can you guess what state it is in?
