COACHES SHILLING: TUBERVILLE'S GOLDEN GLOBE
Credit goes to two people for this find: commenter hunglikehussain, and the Auburner, who went to the trouble of capturing Tommy Tuberville's epic performance in a Golden Flake commercial that suggests Auburn football players run fast because someone is beckoning them towards an open bag of Golden Flake potato chips. (For the record: in certain cases, we believe this could be completely true, as in the case of Kenny or David Irons.)
Mesmerizing! Tommy Tuberville doesn't even have to be in the same moment and place to hypnotize you with a bag of potato chips: all he need do is call, and you will hear his plea from across space and time.
P.S. Just because we're having fun with Sir Charles today over at the Sporting Blog, a few Auburn relevant quotes from barkleyquotes.com that should convince you not only that Charles is one of the great bon vivants of our time, but also confirm any and all stereotypes about SEC and Auburn athletes and academics:
"When I was recruited at Auburn [university], they took me to a strip joint. When I saw those titties on Buffy, I knew that Auburn met my academic requirements."
Those titties. An area of study no young male college student can fail to appreciate.

I hear it only works on Kenny if you tell him that there’s a midget in the bag.

Personally, the hip gyration and come-hither eyes are a bit disturbing to me. Not sure of what to make of a man making those moves and holding a bag of chips….

Who the hell does he think he is?
“Charlie, let’s have some Golden Flake chips and a cold Coca-Cola to wash em down. "
This is scacrilege. Bear is turning over in his grave.

- - You know AU coaches have been endorsing GF/Coke almost as far back as bear was, right?
The real difference is that the bammers actually believed the endorsment was God’s way of telling them to have chips and coke for every meal.

O. you must clarify that while the commercial is broadcast in the second dimension, and space/time is a third dimensional construct, the effectiveness of the summons to the bag o’ chips may be diminished dependent on the vibrational sensitivity of the receiver…obviously works for aubrin…

Funny, because I could have sworn that the reason the Auburn player was running so fast was because of the police K9 trying to get a taste of his arm

I think he was running so fast to avoid being chop blocked by his own lineman.

I think he’s turning over more due to the fact that one may not purchase Coca-Cola products in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

I’m catching up with this thread, having spent the day, y’know, working and stuff, but Glory Be, it’s perhaps the one subject in the history of sports blogging on which I am, improbably, an expert.
Way back in the day, for a year or so off and on, I was personally responsible for creating every single Golden Flake Cheese Twist on the planet. It was at a subcontracting plant in Decatur, Georgia, which was a living illustration of William Blake’s construct of “dark, satanic mills.” And I generally assumed our products were being produced for markets in various third world hells, until one Sunday afternoon, when I happened upon the Bear Bryant Show, sponsored by none other than Golden Flake, and witnessed the Bear Himself consuming the fruits of my labor. As a Georgia fan, I had a brief moment of remorse for failing to dump a pack of cigarettes into the particular batch of greasy cheese and whey that coated Bryant’s treats, but I got over it.
So now, more than thirty years later, I learn that Auburn is Golden Flake Country. Are there no constants in this life? Has Golden Flake been taken over by some godless multinational corporation, which somehow has managed to pay its Urdu-speaking workers less than I earned? Is Tubby’s Golden Flake endorsement deal the latest twist in the Bama/Auburn rivalry, and how did it affect the 2008 recruiting season?
The mind reels.

You know, I thought the comments section was supposed to be for witty discourse on the topic at hand. Not for a bunch of uppity barners to grammatically nitpick at posts because they are incapable of forming an intelligent response. (though the one guy initially burning himself was funny)
However, I’m not here to pick a fight. What IS important:
If you followed the sporting blog link you would have caught that Charles Barkley is going to run for governor of Alabama in 2014.
How f-ing awesome is that? We could have 8 whole years of Barkley all to ourselves. The potential for awesomeness is unfathomable, and let’s face it there’s no way he could possibly worst than our current or previous governors. I wish I could vote for him now. Twice.

Donkeydawg, your concerns are not without merit. Quoting Upton Sinclair….
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it”
Munchers of the world UNITE! The winds of change are blowing in Alabama! Sour cream and onion, cheddar cheese and BBQ flavors that were once the providence of the bourgeoisie, denied to the agrarian proletariat, are now the exclusive opiate of the chosen Opelikians. Fight on brave and noble warrior.

#3, the Bear would be rolling over in his grave if I didn’t dig his old butt up last night and chop-block him. Now, he’s just wincing in his grave, with a torn ACL to boot.

Orson ends the post with a Charles Barkley softball about titties, and the majority of comments are about gold flake and spelling-related insults?

My favorite Bear Bryant commercial? On the Bear Bryant Show after Auburn beat them in the “Punt Bama Punt” game. (In a disgusted low throaty growl) “All you people out there, … drink your Co-cola, eat your potato chips….Hell, WE ain’t doin’ nothin!”
Classic Bear. Even he couldn’t spin that one.

I was always partial to Dye’s Colonial Bank commercial where the teller hands him a play she’d drawn up.
