TIDE FANS, PLEASE SPARE THE NOBLE ELEPHANT.

I had to read this to the Alabama fans I know, since they can’t.

Let’s wait and hear the results of the MRI before we go sparing elephants.

However, and correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t we stop Ole Miss on 4th and a foot AFTER Cody left the game?

I may be wrong, and there’s no denying that Cody’s absence will be a major loss, but our defense didn’t seem to implode with the loss of Cody as badly as our Offense does with the start of the third quarter.

I bet you were reading it to them from a library computer screen.

Well, Crabapple, Bama fans are trying against their will to support tOSU this weekend to win the game vs Penn State….although for selfish reasons….
If tOSU wins…and Bama can run the table and beat Florida(hopefully with Cody, without him, dont see it happening) we can get in….if Bama loses to Florida, or hell , if they beat Florida, the SEC winner will be out in the cold since human voters will either put a undefeated Penn State with an ailing coach in the BCS vs either a undefeated Texas squad or a phantom one loss USC squad, since we all know that blowout(they got whipped worse on both sides of the line than what the score showed) losses away from home to a bunch of midgets dont count in the PAC 10, and since the PAC 10 football is so much better than the rest of the country, USC gets a mulligan,and a bailout,and the loss gets erased from the record books by the NCAA….
And I am typing this on my Speak and Spell so I know what in the hell all these letters and words and funny symbols mean….me hate the grammer, book learnin is fer sissys, i m gonna go outside the trailer and play with my cylinder blocks now and finish eatin the lead paint thats peeling off wall that taste like vanilla puddin

Shouldn’t that be “what taste like niller puddin?”

We thank you for leaving your couch-burning event long enough to read it aloud to us. We hope in the future that you won’t have to move your lips as you sound out the words – it’s unseemly.

@ 3

If he’s at a library, he’s probably readin’ it with the ol’ one eyed snake, too.

Wasn’t in a library Cap, Bama fans wouldn’t be caught dead in one. Besides, they wouldn’t be allowed to color in the books.

MPP – getting all of your rooting instructions from Tony Barnhart again in the AJC? Here is a scenario you will like – tOSU wins out, SC wins out, Florida wins out and Texas wins out. SC and Texas in the BCSNCG. Florida in the Sugar as SEC rep, Alabama and tOSU in the Rose. You get your chance to beat up poor ol’ Ohio State and we get a chance to go 1-9. Win or lose, you’ll claim another MNC. Will that make 15? That would include the recruiting NC and Fulmer Cup plus the 12 others you guys claim.

Awesome jokes in these comments.

I’ve been dreading Bama being a top-ranked team since they beat UGA. I was being a selfish LSU fan.

I overlooked the simple fact that no one can create nationwide fury like Bama fans. It’s great entertainment. Keep it up guys!!!

@7 So wrong, but so right at the same time.

Alabama vs. LSU will be a primetime matchup. I hope both teams are at full strength.

Crapple,
The one thing that I always did regretted(shaking fist at the sky and yelling at the camera with a tear streaming down my cheek) :
“I NEVER LEARNED TO REEEEAAAADDDDD!!”
 But as far as tOSU beating Bama…..beat PSU then you can think about it….maybe dream it. Difference between tOSU and Bama in big games? Bama shows up,to play and to win….. Hey, we play in a legit league, the closest thing to the speed of many midlevel NFL defenses…and not Big 12, 7 on 7 two hand touch passing defense. Had you beaten USC, who got whooped by a bunch of midgets, then we could take tOSU seriously. Right now, enjoy your status as the punchline of the BCS…..I am sure after PSU beats you by 2 or 3 TD’s, you can go back to the depths of the Most Irrelevant Program in the Most Irrelevant Conference.com Bowl…..Go Nittany Lions!
Reasoning with Buckeye fans is like preaching monogamy abstinence to a bunch of married Mormons.

I love Bama fans. They are the only fanbase in the country that makes ours look sane by comparison.

Neat how everyone seems to be locking Flordia into the East slot in the SECC game.

Even Herbie let slip last night “When Alabama plays Florida…”

Just ignore that team in Red and Black in JAX. They are only there to lay thier cloaks across the mud so the regal Gators can more easliy get to Atlanta.

DarkKnight. If you want to beat the Gators, throw early and often. You’re not going to run over them…Knowshon has been Knowshow in league games and the UF front four is fast.fast.fast.

(needs a long shower after defending Urb’s program).

I love the happy elephant statue in the picture.

It reminds me of the circus and all of the special Auburn alums who work there.

I don’t think Florida is better, but they are healthier at this point than UGA. If the Dawgs were at full strength, they would give Florida all they could handle. May still, UF has shown they can be beat already. If Cody can be back and be effective, not 50% and just wearing a uniform, Bama should be favored to win the rest. Without him, they will drop one somewhere.

After a season to shake it out, the SEC has one really good/potentially great team in Alabama. Two good teams in Georgia (for now) and Florida. Then there is the rest of the conference that is quite a few notches below. LSU really misses RP (as do we all for the comedy). The Lee and Hatch combo is too inconsistent. The rest are an assortment from meh, to what is that stench.

Dear god help us all. This is the first time in the modern era (meaning since the invention of the Internet) that Alabama has been off of probation and somewhat relevant. Glad to see the fan base is taking it in stride and acting like they have been there. I mean, really, singing Rammer Jammer to 3-4 Ole Miss after barely hanging on in the 4th quarter is the most clear and evident sign of a rational fan base, right? I mean you only spent $100 million in facility upgrades and $32 million on a coaching staff…desperate?

And for those of you around the country who have never spent more than a weekend in Alabama…fuck you…you have no idea what we are dealing with here. These people are fucking insane. I don’t know if it is the result of the cross-pollination of inbreeding and piss poor primary education or just a blind loyalty to the confederacy…whatever it is, it only exists in this state and it is fucking insane. And yes, I have been to Columbus, Ann Arbor, and several other “big” college towns/states…they all take a back seat to Alabama.

Now, getting to the actual facts of Alabama’s season…

SOS is 70ish…

Tight games against Tulane, Kentucky, and Ole Miss.

Clemson sucks and has fired their coach because they suck so bad.

And 1/2 of complete magic against Georgia where everything clicked.

Granted, Bama looks good and I really like their style of football…old school, physical running style…and I really want to root for Alabama…I would love Alabama football if not for the fan base. I like the colors, the tradition is rich, but that fan base is so fucking off the reservation that it is impossible as an outsider to join the flock…you are either born into it or you’re not and since being born into it entails being born into several other “things” I’ll pass, thanks anyways.

Well there was that time, right before Alabama went on probation 99 and 2000 when they were ranked 3rd in the country and went out to UCLA and got hammered…and then there was 2000 when they won the SEC Championship only to lose to the Big Ten runner up Michigan in Alabama’s only BCS bowl appearance.

And yes, the Internet was not around in 1992…

Stay classy Alabama…act like you’ve been there…pack up that tired-ass Rammer Jammer chant and go cheer with your own team instead of telling 3-4 Ole Miss that you just beat the hell out of them 24-20.

Bama will always play rammer jammer for Ole Miss if Bama wins because Bama stole the idea from Ole Miss.

Not sure, but I don’t think they did it against Tulane or UK. Of course, maybe they did. But who really gives a shit?

Your Honor, I would like to introduce items 4, 13, and 22 as exhibits A, B, and C as to the logic and reasoning behind the Bama Nation.

I rest my case.

And for the record…I have very good friends who were born and raised in Alabama, and for the most part they are completely rational and good-hearted people…but put them in front of an Alabama game and it is as if they are possessed. It truly beats anything I have ever seen any where else in the country…libraries included.

The Dar Es Salaam comment puts this over the edge. 100 cocktails to you for being so geographically literate. The Alabama people will stay out of Tanzania, inshallah.

Hey Artist, don’t you have a “tired-ass” i to dot ? CrabApple can’t read it until you get the dot in place.

TAFKastOSUB:
So, seriously, do you think you have a chance against Penn State? Really, I mean honestly….so if you beat PSU they were overrated, or is tOSU is just plain ol’ awesome, just like the past 2 years? Awesome being relevant til ya play someone decent outside the Big 2, and by Big 2 I mean tOSU and Penn State….Michigan is down, and it looks like Michigan State aint far behind…
In your mind, how would tOSU stack up against Ole Miss, LSU, Florida, Alabama, if you had to actually play them weekly in a 4 week stretch, with starters going down weekly with injuries? Do you think you could handle losing one or two starters on either side of the ball and be competitive? Name me 4 teams in the Big 10 that play physical football? I know of 2-tOSU and PSU, who are the other world beaters? How would tOSU fair vs 4 teams in the Big 12 that Texas has to play? Oklahoma, Mizzou, Ok St, Kansas—how would that shake out? I would say PAC 10, but we know how that ended up…So is tOSU better than Oregon State?
tOSU is like the SAW series…same premise, same plot, only thing that varys is how tOSU meets it demise
based on which SEC team it draws….PLAYOFF would solve this, but tOSU and USC and Notre Dame would be out early.

TAFKastOSUB,
Maybe I need to re-evaluate my Bama fan status. I never realized a successful Bama team would cause so much mental anguish amongst so many other fans.

Go take some Metamucil. Unclench your bowels. Try to leave your computer and take a shit. It’s frigging college football.

Delusional Bama fan,
arlo

Oh, and one more thing tAFKATOSUB… you forget,
Bama has done things this year that tOSU hasnt done in the past 2 yrs on National tv, or overall the past 9 yrs, and that is beat a #2 ranked SEC team on National TV. Until tOSU does that, go get ya *&%$ shinebox. Alabama is not only a SEC football team, its a damn good one. I think Penn State is really good team also, and I believe they will unleash a SEC style beatdown(20+ points—why? tOSU doesnt know how to play from behind when they are down by 14+ points) on ya this weekend, because of tOSU has character players, and really cant win against a bunch of thugs who will take their lunch money, give it back to them, then take it back again, with interest….. PSU arrest in the offseason===more wins in the regular season, based on Fulmer Cup results, it is a valid theory…….

I’d think that a team that was blown out of the building by HALFTIME the last two times they’ve faced an SEC team would learn to STFU, but, alas, they continue to twaddle on about their overrated insignificant team and their snoozer of a boring, pointless little conference.

Big 10 football: Better than Ambien, and free.

25 & 27…calm the fuck down brah…

Allow me to address your points.

@ 25

1. Yes I think we have a chance against Penn State playing them at home. Ohio State is 7-0 vs. PSU at home since they joined the Big Ten.

2. If we beat Penn State it is a quality win – everyone has taken the position that Penn State is an elite team this year. I would think that beating an elite team would count for something.

3. Regarding being awesome, I guess it is all relative. Is being the 2-time defending Big Ten champion awesome compared to losing to ULM, going 6-6 and beating Colorado in the Independence bowl? I would think so. Sure losing in the NCG twice in a row sucks, but given the parity in college football just getting there is awesome. And hey, we did win a BCS NC in 2002 going 14-0 in the process beating the defending NC in the process…NOW THAT WAS AWESOME.

4. How would Ohio State stack up against Ole Miss, LSU, Florida, Alabama if you actually played them in a 4 week stretch? I think we would be competitive…hard to speculate on fictional games…but I would love to see those teams come to C-Bus…bring it.

5. In case you haven’t noticed…Beanie Wells missed 3 games this year, including the USC game on the road. Guys don’t only get hurt in the SEC. Let’s see how Bama does without Cody.

6. Name 4 teams that play physical in the big ten…Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa, and usually Michigan. Minnesota plays physical as well…I remember them running all over Alabama in a bowl game. Michigan beat Florida last year being physical. Iowa beat a Saban LSU team and was very physical with Florida one year. Wisconsin has a nice record here lately vs. the SEC, as does PSU. Honestly, you are kidding yourself if you think the SEC is that much more physical….teams are physical all over the country. This is Division 1 Football brother.

6. Yes it is well documented that Ohio State has struggled against SEC teams. Alabama is 2-14-1 against Notre Dame, Michigan, and Texas…three of the biggest programs in the country….every program has flaws…

7. Fuck playoffs…isn’t the BCS bad enough…playoffs will make it worse. Anything that takes away from conference championships and rivalry games sucks. Let’s all go back to the traditional bowl match-ups and the voting system…if nothing else, at least all of the games will be played on New Year’s Eve.

Let me get this right…losing the NCG in fucktacular fashion is worse than losing to ULM at home and going 7-6. Let me guess, you’re going to tell me that 7-6 in the SEC is better than 11-2 any where else in country.

Amazing.

’Bama Shenanigans Dept:

1st) Wish the Kid gets well soon..awesome talent…. Saban said that Kid Cody sustained a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. He said Kid Cody’s is expected to miss this week’s game at Tennessee and next week’s game with Arkansas State.

2nd) But, why the !## is ’Bama playing cup-cake “Arkansas State” in the middle of the season? Had no idea that there was more than one four-year school in Arky.

Well, that was easy (tenting fingers, tapping them together).

tafka……

……takes away from conference championship GAMES….

@21

OK, douchebag. This Alabama fan had the Internet in 1990. Sorry it didn’t get to your shitty-ass area of the country until well after Gene Stallings beat the Buckeyes’ ass in the Citrus Bowl.

Pwn3d.

Are you still on here talking the TOSU bull?
You would think after you got your ass handed to you by the Trojans you would just shut up.
The only thing that matters is this year and last time I checked Bama is unbeaten and the Bucks have a paperbag over the face ass dismantling hanging over their head, so just stop. Yes loosing to ULM was bad, LAST YEAR. Now move on
