THAT HAT IS ACTUAL SIZE.
Larry! Call the boys! LOOK!!!
See that? You know what this means?
GIANT ROBOT BEAR IS APPROACHING COMPLETION!!! Oh, just wait until he burns Opelika! The screams! Oh, the festive screams! Take a picture, Levi. WOOOO ROOOOOOOOLL TAAAAAAAAHDE!!! Robot Bear and Saban gonna take us back to the promised land! Thank god he runs on human blood and Chesterfields, what with gas being so expensive. LOVE YOU GIANT ROBOT BEAR!!!
(It’s actually the roof for a concession stand called “The Bear’s Den,” which will serve hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, and individually-wrapped bourbon-flavored cigarette ceviches-to-go. The hat will be stolen in six months, and we will bet hard American currency on this.
The Bear’s Den will serve the usual stadium fare — hamburgers, hotdogs and nachos, and will be one of several themed concession stands. Ezell’s Fish Camp, for example, will have a tin roof and look like a cabin on the lake, and Crimson Fried has a mural of past UA football teams, Evans said.
To paraphrase Troy Smith on Jamarcus Russell’s taste in jewelry: a snack stand hawking fried balls of tasty death with the name “Crimson Fried” is an incredible representation of any and all things Alabama.)

33 and 34,
I think there’s hypocrisy among all fans when it comes to traditions of other schools. The hat (well Bear Bryant) is part of Alabama football and what the rest of us think doesn’t matter.
Piping in crowd noise was ridiculous, but I’m not saying is that this hat is. The Jungle thing wasn’t a big deal to me, I let the PR people do what they want.
There are things I find ridiculous than a houndstooh hat on a concession stand: (in no particular order)
Brutus Buckeye
Notre Dame mystique
The ACC
The So. Cal “war chant” – or what ever it is, you know the peace sign thing
The “Hokie Gobbler” mascot cheer
The nickname “Zips”
National Title aspirations of USC, even with Spurrier
The Tomahawk Chop (although I do like a good chop)
I could go on, but I think I’ve started a bigger fight than I can handle right now.

# 31 – Tater Salad – If ‘Bama were any good I would love to watch them, especially against the Gators and other good SEC teams…
# 39 – Crabapple – Alabama, the Notre Dame of the South? Had not really thought of it that way before, but, you may have a good point there…
..But, if I had to put my pennies on a team, I think Saban has a better chance to getting the program off mediocrappy, while Weis is obviously not big-time, or little-time head coaching material.

#23: I think they already did that in the Iron Bowl – 2002, IIRC.
Then some 4th string white running back ran wild up in that joint, and we ain’t seen the Fedora since. (OK, we have, he’s at Southern Miss)

I think Jordan-Hare already has a “Pat Dye’s Pants” themed concession stand.

That hat’s not really houndstooth, it’s plaid. Tres rustique’

I’m freaking out, I thought this was posted over a month ago…I’m getting deja vu so bad I can physically feel my brain trying to make sense of it.

They are actually going to have Coke, as in Coca-Cola, at Bryant-Denny? When did that change?
