STILL MORE SEC MEDIA DAY NOTES

Here and here. The video of the Alabama fan is particularly…enlightening. Passed Tuberville on the way to lunch, and he looked almost unnaturally tan. Not quite as tan as some…

…but not too far off, either.

Obviously he decided to take one of the free spots on the Quad this fall, so he had a few hundred to throw around.

You totally lost him when you said, “Armani”.

I’m not sure he lost him so much as made him think, Armani? Who’s this faggot?

I’m a lifelong Gator fan and there’s no way in hell I’d purchase a painting of Meyer, Spurrier, or Donovan– all of whom have actually won championships at UF.

Saban lost to freakin’ Louisiana-Monroe last year and someone is gonna pay $400 for his portrait?! I guess it’ll make an interesting conversation piece in 4 years when you guys run him out of town for not having won the SEC west yet.

Tuberville gets more sun in Alabama because Nick Saban casts a short shadow.

$400 for Saban? Jebus. I wonder what pics of the Bahr are going for these days.

#2 – I was about to make the same comment.

I also chuckle when a decidedly middle aged redneck man says “yessir” to a guy clearly 10 years his junior. It’s like he could sense the magnitude of the educational and social dispairty between himself and the “normal” person he is addressing.

I saw that that same guy early this morning standing at the University Boulevard and Eighth Ave S. exit on B’ham Southside with a sign saying “Wil wurk fur foode” . That’s why you can never trust these types.

The orange guy is the CEO of Countrywide. Needless to say, his lfe isn’t very good right now. But then, would you want a mortgage from a man that spends too much time in his home tanning booth?

But we can’t all have anal bead sized buckeye nuts hanging around the mirror of our 18 wheeler as we take the next shipment of furniture from Tupelo to Kalamazoo can we?

I forgot to list his name, Angelo Mozilo.

He is currently on the cover of Portfolio, but he is not that shade of orange. Did someone photoshop that picture or was he actually that color when the photo was taken?

TIGERinATL says:

Agreed that $400 is way too much for any picture. If I’m going to spend nearly half a grand on anything it better have some moving parts, light up, serve drinks, strip or dance or do something.

Go after his wardrobe, it is probably worth more than his company. I can’t even imagine how much that man spends on clothes.

I just watched the video. Loved the blank look when Spencer said Saban was wearing Armani. Do they even know what Armani is in Alabama?

Blon57, you’re from Texas, right? I know you’re not seriously asking that question from a state where men wear saddleback leather jackets with fringe.

CrimsonBarrister says:

#9- I’d say the American politician who drew a crowd of 200k Germans today…

By the way, how close did Swindle have to get to Saban to check out his suit label? Getting that close is a mighty bold move for somone who fails to run a sub 4.9/ 40…

@blon57

Actually, life for Mr. Mozilo is just fine, thank you. He doesn’t want for much…if you bought some of his repackaged mortgages or common stock, then fuck you, but he’s cold pimpin’ it right now.

blon57 says:

Now, Peter. Men in Texas don’t really wear saddleback leather jackets with fringe. They are more into wranglers and flannel, driving F-150s with gun racks. A very select few wear Armani and those were transplants from the east or west coast.

You’re telling me that men in Alabama wear Armani? Other than Saban, of course.

#27 – Orson’s Wingspan >>>> Saban’s wingspan. Orson just held his palm to Sabahr’s forehead and watched him swing wildly at the just-out-of-reach ribs.

OrangeRedBlueBlack says:

Which is brighter: the earthy sheen of Tuberville’s bronzen forehead, or the cinder glow of Saban’s DeathEater eyes?

PeterPumpkinhead says:

Blon, sweetie, where do you think all that corruption money in Montgomery goes? Have you seen Richard Scruchi?

Other than those insanely rich few though, it’s mostly flannel and wranglers, F150s and gun racks, actually. And Truck Nutz.

Oh, and MalibuJuice, I’ve seen the crap UCLA people pay $400 for, so don’t even start.

PeterPeterPeter, UCLA followers aren’t the brightest of folk. As a Trojan, I’ll give you that. The difference, my friend, is that UCLA fan isn’t taking gas out of his tank to pay for it.

I forgot about ol’ Richard and HealthSouth. It is nice to know you have your fair share of corporate crooks.

I had not heard of Truck Nutz, had to google that one. Boy, I hope those things don’t migrate west of Alabama.

I thought that guy was a George Hamilton Melanoma Extreme Accelerator sales rep, but he wasnt quite that
pumpkiny-sunshiny deep shade of orange.
Now I know the definition of Shiny, Happy People. You would think someone would be brave enough to tell him that if he isnt competing in a Masters Bodybuilding show, that Pro Tan will ruin his nice white shirt and stain his white hair if he sweats even a lil.

So why do you think this guy can be at SEC Media Days on a Thursday in July:

1. Unemployed due to illegal immigration
2. Annual Lottery payouts
3. Nightshift at the chicken processing plant
4. Sold his contracting company to “live the dream” on all that money he made off the yuppies

yarrrr…. went to that Alabama state once, rode me ship into the port they call Moe-Bill… must be the names of two previous coaches

them people will say “yassir” and “nossir” to roadkill and floozies… so saying it to our good Captain Spencer is right and just

methinks it’s just a tactic to make you feel superior right before they shanghai you and put you to work in a factory making them little paper pom-poms… they use millions of those little rascals each year ya know
