SEC FANDOM STRIKES AGAIN
Every year at this time it seems the debates start again over conference supremacy. On any given year, despite being SEC homers, we can see how reasonable minds can differ… with respect to football that is. That said, we will not tolerate any argument over fan passion. Exhibt A, check out this beautiful child, born in Huntsville, Alabama, who will be forever cursed blessed with the noble name of Bryant Crimson. Bravo Mom and Dad!

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

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.”

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.

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?

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.

“Some people say football is what Southerners do instead of dueling. This is not true. It is what we do instead of rioting.” - Rick Bragg
#10: “Dear, dear friend, you must accept at least the possibility that some of the ways [SEC] fans express their admiration for their team and/or its greatness are, um, not entirely normal and healthy.”
“(Again, non-SEC sports fans. These are adults standing rapt around a cell phone talking about football. You don’t take this shit as seriously. You just. Can’t.)” - Orson Swindle (5/21/2007)
#28: “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. ”
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.
