SEC FANDOM STRIKES AGAIN

>80% chance neither Mom nor Dad was alive to see a Bear Bryant coached game. At some point ‘tradishun’ becomes ancient history.

Rednecks turn crimson in the fall…

At least they didn’t name the kid Saban.

And the only other SEC schools where the most legendary coach and color would work is “Dooley Red” and maybe “Vaught Red,” the rest are just stupid.

What was the kid’s name? I think it was Tyde Saban that was also reported on this site. Orson, you need to name your children Gator Meyer and Spurrier Orange.

7 lbs on his way to 300+ you can be assured. Poor little thing didn’t even ask for it.

This is almost as high-class as naming a child “Espen” (spelled ESPN).

you’re welcome

It’d be pretty hilarious if the kid grew up to be an Auburn fan

Good point Dave, even worse would be if he grew up wanting to play QB for them but only got the chance to play QB at Auburn and never lose to Bama. So far Brandon Cox knows how this feels.

Funny – I’ve never heard of a kid named Shug…or Dye…or Tubby (or derivatives thereof), though they do have those teletubby things which I assume is related. Any kids out there named Tiger Eagle?

 So what if the parents never saw a Bryant coached game – I never saw Babe Ruth hit a baseball either, but I am willing to concede he could go yard with some regularity. Clearly, those who lack tradition are left with little more than the inclination to belittle it. The more you aubies whine about Alabama, the more solidified your position as the number two program in Alabama becomes.

I can’t believe anyone would actually defend someone for naming a child Bryant Crimson.

Name your dog after a coach or player all you want, but you don’t name your child after one, especially with a name like that.

I could even see if you named the kid Jeffrey Bryant, calling him Jeffery, but using the middle name as a tribute, but when you name a kid Bryant Crimson, you automatically sentence him to a life of Natural Light and trailer parks.

For the record, Bryant Crimson still isn’t as bad as Tyde Saban. At least they chose to name their child after a coach that had won something at Alabama.

Parents choosing to name their child Saban before he even coached a game at Alabama is much worse.

What happens when he inevitably up and leaves for whatever reason in 5 years angering every Tide fan. The poor kid will either have to change his name or get beat up at school every day.

At least Bear Bryant can’t do anything to embarass or anger the Tide fanbase unless he starts growing Tiger Lily’s from the top of his grave.

Ahhhh the bama fanbase – there truly is not a redder shade of neck or a whiter shade of trash on this planet.

Dear, dear friend, you must accept at least the possibility that some of the ways Bama fans express their admiration for their team and/or its greatness are, um, not entirely normal and healthy.

I’ve been contemplating a theory about the so-called Bama Nation: controversial as it may well be, now is as good a time as any to share that theory.

The feelings the Alabama fan has for his team closely approximate those expressed in literature — specifically, Edgar Allan Poe’s “Annabel Lee.”

We outside the community of Alabama supporters express our concern and revulsion at such pyschotic displays of passion, and it is as if you can do little but reply that we don’t know love is.

1. i just about pissed my pants laughing at that one….made my day GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!

rebel84, it’s worse than that. Saban hasn’t even signed his contract yet.

John #3 – please don’t tell me any of those you truly believe “would work” as names.

So, are the parents going to get Saban to sign the kid?

I always think at first these Bama posts are just photoshops in an attempt to kick a team in the nuts that is already in a fragile state of mentality. But hell no. This is as legit as all the other ones. Somebody in Bama Nation please call a timeout and ask yourselves just what the fuck is going on.

I’m a bama fan and student and i’m embarrased, but you gotta admit there are some of these people in every group, but maybe because they name their child after some third stringer for Ilinois or some team like that it doesn’t make the news?

I named all my pets after Bryant. It was the only way I could ever beat him.

I’ve defended the Bama Nation for years…… I’m one of those who did NOT attend the U of A but consider myself an educated person…….. after much consideration I’ve come to the conclusion that Bama fans (who’ve never stepped foot on campus) are much more ……red…… than any other sidewalk alum……..

with the exception of one group of people………. I must admit, thru personal experience, the ut fans of the hills of eastern tenn. are some of the most racist, homer, ignorant rednecks I’ve ever encountered.

OOC,

The more that I that think about it “Vaught Red” is lame, but “Dooley Red” has a certain understated stupidity. Here’s my SEC rankings:

1) Jordan Blue (most non-southerners wouldn’t even get it)
2) Dooley Red
3) Morrison Garnet
4) Bryant Crimson
5) Bryant Blue
6) Vaught Red
7) Saban Gold
8) Broyles Red
9) McCeen Maroon
10) Neyland Orange
11) Spurrier Blue
12) Johnson Gold

In a few years when all the hoopla is over the kid will say his name is Bryant and nobody will even make the connection. Then he can say Bryant C.____ and it won’t matter. The only problem will be if he dresses in red and carries a box of detergent and two rolls of toilet paper on a stick. Then ya might have a problem. Now as for the parents….:)

That says it all!!!!!!

If we stop naming our children after coaches that died 25 years ago that means we have stopped sucking in the present tense.

Bryant Crimson is just stupid, though. Either name the kid after the man or don’t. Might as well have called him Tuscaloosa Bear.

hm. [I]Tuscaloosa Bear[/I]…

The real news will be when someone names their kid “Moooooooooooooooo AgEweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”

SEC fans naming their kids after coaches who’s body’s have been rotting underground for the past decade is both everything that is wrong, and right about SEC football.

There are enough fans that even in a statistically so called “normal distribution” there will be some real nut job outliers, since the middle of the bell curve is so far down the scale of fan base rabidness.

The acc, its normal distribution’s center is not as far down the rabid scale, and is a much flatter curve with a wider standard deviation of fans’ rabidness, some places, like FSU, Clemson, and VT have rabid fans, while MD, Duke, or Wake Forest peeps are not quite so rabid (statistically speaking).

All other conferences are shit, cept the Big XII, and do not merit my discussion. I will bow to the SEC based on my shear amazement of their passion for the game, and plentitude (if its a word) of pretty girls in sundresses knocking back whiskey in the stands and yelling “KILL HIM!” God Bless America, indeed.

LOL. there’s always a hilarious bama-auburn fight on the comments for this page.

Great job with this page fellas – this is one of my favorite blogs!

Tennesee hicks laughing at Bama hicks? What the fuck is the diference?

This is not a joke…it’s their life….peepul!

Yeah, you right. All of it. Remember that if the kid ends up not liking his name, all he has to do is cross the Ohio River headin’ north, or the Colorado River headin’ west and no one there will get the refrence at all. He could then live out his boring life in anonymous dreary, un-awesome America.

Or, he could stay in the South and be a legend every day that is Saturday. An academic argument could be made that by us even going on about it, he already is.

Let me put it to you this way: in twenty years and 11 months, you’re at a bar or tailgate in the fall when the Tide comes to town, and you hear that the cat standing next to you is named Bryant Crimson, tell me you ain’t gonna buy him a drink. Just so you could tell all your friends you shot whiskey with a cat named Bryant Crimson.

Having said that, “Tuscaloosa Bear” has got to be one of the coolest names ever. That’s the kind of cat you never play No Limit Hold-Em with.

Does the name qualify the kid for the Bryant namesake reunion? Probably for the first birthday the parents will get him the tribal flame tattoo on the arm, in crimson. Soon the parents will move to the Hoover suburb of Birmingham, to get true exposure.

What’s the big deal?

What do barners name their spawn if they want them to have names with barner traditions? Cheater Jones? Illiterate Mongoloid? Chivas Dye? Snootbag Terry? Sociology Clep?

Re: #31

I think I just shit myself.

When he grows up he can live here and spit on whoever the coach at Tennessee is at the time…could still be fulmer for all we know.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I’d stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me “Saban.”

Ok guys I think you can all stuff your comments where the sunshine doesn’t shine! Before you go off half-cocked and insult his name how many of you actually use your middle name????

My father saw Bryant play his last game against Illinios so there is some family tie there- and yes my husband is a big Bama fan but SO WHAT???

Do you have any idea the pain we have suffered in the 2 years? Do you have any idea why he is named Bryant- and NO the reason behind the name did NOT focus on the coach. If you care to find out check my blog…otherwise don’t worry about what I name my kid- and dish out boring names like John and Jane to your own
