SABAN: NEXT FRIDAY…IS HAWAIIAN SHIRT DAY
Separated at birth? Thanks to reader Thor for the submission proving that Saban may, in fact, be character actor Gary Cole. Meaning that Saban was superb in Talladega Nights last year, and once appeared as “Alan McClafferty” on an episode of Moonlighting, and all but guarantees that a movie will be at least moderately awesome.
All that and a 325 page defensive playbook? Alabama, you got more of a bargain than you’ll ever know, friends.
(Note: We’re also stressing the tensile comic strength of Office Space references here, yes. But for science’s sake, we’re willing to take that chance.)
Step one: Saban unadorned.
Step two: Saban, accessorized:
Step three: Um, yeah….
Alabama, you’re coming on Saturday. Not that you’ll mind one bit. But we’re gonna need you to come in, yeah…all 85,000 of you.

31, I recognize that and the rest of the metaphor that Saban’s place of business will be destroyed as a result of him being a dick.

I note that you ignore Auburn in your post, whom Joshua mentions. Why is that?

Stephen Root, who starred as Jummy James in “Newsradio,” the best television program ever, is from Tampa and went to UF. As did SNL’s Darrell Hammond.

Why did you have to go sticking your nose into this? You just can’t let it go. Always have to have approval from big brother.
Well little brother, the reason I didn’t include au in the post is because Alabama didn’t own Auburn in Jordan-Hare for the majority of “away” games in the second half of the twentieth century, mostly because the games were not played in Jordan-Hare until the 80s.
However, feel free to take the Franchione part and apply it. I mean, for God’s sake, Andrew Zow smoked Auburn that day like Wingnut smokes cock.

to Josh:
How many games did LSU win against Alabama in Tiger Stadium between 1969 and 1998? Or did you not follow LSU football until Nick Saban made LSU into a real program?

#63, just joking. And yes, Zow did smoke us on that day, but Fran, if I’m not mistaken, was only 1-1 against us, as well as LSU, so he doesn’t “own” either team (to say nothing of the fact that a Bammer is defending Fran).
I really don’t get the “Big Brother” thing. We started playing first, and pre-hiatus, we had a lead in the series. We also won 3 conference titles before your first (in the SIAA), and (although we don’t count it, but Bammer logic would if it was theirs- see: 1941) a NC before you.

#68:
Fair enough. I think Fran is a shitbag, and I realize he was 1-1. my original response was only concerning victories at an opposing team’s home field. Fran was 1-0 against both.
As far as big brother/little brother, I don’t really buy into it. It’s just another lame shot at au, much like the “bammer” and NASCAR loving redneck lame shots at ua. The only real losers are the ones that actually buy into the stereotypes about the other schools.
I think a lot of the big brother/little brother thing has to do with (insert living in the past, Bear worshipping, etc. joke here) the Bryant years. I wouldn’t know, but the way people talk, and the way a lot of older au fans act, it comes across as some sort of chip on your shoulder. A very big chip. But I digress.
Fuck Auburn. That’s better.

maybe this will help you get “the big brother thing” as you put it – how many sec championships does au have – 6, alabama: 21

MiseanAUfan says:
mp,
more accomplished or decorated doesn’t mean “big” at least in terms of the term “big brother,” which means “older.” If you want to use Bammer doublespeak and call yourselves “big brother” go right ahead.

Oh, and just an addendum to my stereotyping comment:
The stereotyping, of course, excludes the (insert close relative or farm animal) fucking and studying of animal feces comments usually directed at AU. Because that’s totally true.

Fortunately, I was not alive for most of the Bryant years (born in ‘80), but had I have been alive, I would probably understand the chips on their shoulders, kinda like the chips most Bama fans have on their shoulders for losing to us for 5 years in a row, as if beating us is a birthright, after being spoiled so much during the Bryant era.
That being said, my dad (also an AU grad) was at the Goal Line Stand game against PSU, and I would have love to have seen that one, too, and would have been cheering for the Tide.

Assuming that’s true, it applies to both schools, at least from understanding of fraternities at Alabama.

Living in the past says:
Haha touche AU, touche. You know, that’s another thing that makes the rivalry so great. Most UA/au fans know a ton about the other school, because most of us have friends that went to the other school, and have made numerous trips to the other school.

FUCK ALABAMA.
Not just the school either – the whole fucking turd-smelling, cock stain of a state. I’d rather live in fucking Missisippi than Alabama – at least you can gamble there.
So put that in your thread-jacking pipes and smoke it redneck motherfuckers.
