Sigh….Ricky….dude…there’s ALWAYS a camera around, man…thanks for the negative waves, brah

Apologies on behalf of the Yellowhammer fan base….

When you have a pom-pom in your pocket, you’re logic does not compute.

As much as I hate to say it, being an Alabama alum, guys like this one are a dime a dozen there.

Orson, you failed to mention the shaker in his khaki shorts pocket as well. The perfect accessory for any Son of Saban.

Thanks Orson. This brings back nightmares after spending two miserable years living in Bama.

“Mah table! Mah table!”

Imagine if the Tide had lost that game…

When did it become not okay to wear shoes indoors?

I definitely thought the shaker in the pocket was a worse transgression.

I love how this was filed under the tag of “Alabama man: he can drink, he can bowl…”

@3 – it’s not just Bama. I knew a few people at UF who are nearly as bad as Ricky. Hell, even I took out some rage on some drywall last year when we lost to Ole Miss.

The look on EmoBang’s face at :38 is pretty priceless.

Black people do not have time for this shit.

Oh man. I know that the fans above the mason dixon catch a lot of heat for wearing jerseys; but is Ricky’s get up any better?

I’m so glad I don’t have my speaker plugged in. I don’t think I want to know what this clown rants about.

Also, it is a shaker, not a pom pom. It is used for, among other things, mixing bourbon.

A. I’ve seen fans from all SEC fans do this in one way or another in all my wizened years of watching football.
B. The fact that he dresses like the classic toolbag Southern frattydaddy makes it ten times worse.
C. I’ve broken plenty of shit, but going all WWE on the table is a nice touch.
D. You have to admit, these guys have a killer setup for football. Two small tvs and a nice plasma in the middle.

this is hilarious. and ricky, what a redneck name too. the only other name more redneck than Ricky is Sisterbanger. i cannot wait until you bama inbreds come to oxford this year. im looking forward to stomping your asses whilst kirk herbie calls the game. and i hope i run into your ass in the grove, ricky.

no person wearing a visor should be this angry. this guy would not make it long at my house. the first time he jumped in front of the tv after a big play, he’d be out in the yard.

RTR. Roll Tide Rickey.

nice Drive By Truckers ref

@ 6

The “Alabama Man” tag has been on here for as long as I can remember (at least 3 years)

I’m not saying I’ve never broken anything while watching a sporting event…I punched through a glass window (luckily it had drapes over the side I was punching) one time during the 2006 NLCS…And I was celebrating!! Ricky just reminds me of all the crybaby fans out there that never shut up when everyone else is trying to watch the game.

@11

There are shitrageous fans everywhere. This one just so happened to be caught on video AND included a badass table smash.

@9

Aside from the visor and belt with what I’m assuming are little script A’s all over it (the ubiquitous SEC belt) what’s so wrong about his get-up? Shorts with a coaches polo? That’s pretty plain if you ask me.

I see that cephalization has not hit some of our fans.

Sigh.

Col Reb-

With that setup in the apartment, you won’t see Ricky in the Grove.

The great thing about the outliers in the Bama fanbase is that tOSU fans look sane by comparison. Every school has exceptions. Needless to say, Ricky has probably never attended a class in Tuscaloosa. Or anywhere past HS for that matter.

I remember that guy. He wasn’t all that bad when not drinking and/or when not watching/talking about the team, but those occasions were very rare. Some cute girl dated him way too long, and we could never understand why, since he always showed his ass at parties. Last I heard he’d dropped out of some bank’s management training program in Charlotte and was trying to sell insurance with is dad.

will give him props on the table smash, however, the awesome-o-meter would have been pegged if he’d broken it with an atomic elbow or if he picked up that girl and DDT’d her ass into it. if you’re gonna break shit in my house, ricky, you better come with it ala wrestlemania 14 when the hulk pee-layed macho man randy savage ftw while gorilla monsoon was having a conniption at the end. SUPA-FLY SNOOKA SON

#18, I agree. His brain is still less developed than that of a fetus since it has not gone through gastrulation.

His walk to the front porch to shout his angst to the world is classic.

I live in Alabama, and as haybeav at #3 said, these guys are a dime a dozen. I know all schools have some batshit crazy fans, but I dare anyone in the country to come live in Alabama for 3 football seasons, take in the local culture, and tell me that there is a more insane fan base anywhere in the country.

You won’t find it. I promise you. I’ve been a lot of places in my life and nothing even comes close.

Back when I was in grad school at Bama (74-76), I heard some twit say at a basketball game to his date, “We should only pull for them if they win.” For me, that sums it up. Every school has them, but that was a revelation. And, for all, I know, that was Ricky’s father.

God forbid he’s running around CLT. Likely drunk at the Selwyn Pub.

I’m just glad they didn’t have video cameras all over the place when I was younger and watching games.

Meet Bachelor Number 3! He drives a Z71, his family has a house on Lake Martin, and 2/3 of his wardrobe comes from Woods N’ Water. He was also a business major! For fun, he likes to get drunk and wander around Alberta City!

1. - I just had the impression he was trying to dress like a coach – which is probably better than trying to dress like a player

shame on his friends for not giving him the severe ass-whooping he severely needs. it’s the only way he’ll learn.

This is a pretty classic keyed-up Alabama guy reaction to a bad call — us Alabama fans have a history of feeling persecuted by referees — what with the shout of a random, hilarious profanity combination such as “REF PUSSY!” and the vintage use of the N-word in defending a player whom the word would greatly offend and likely arouse a tooth-loosening beatdown from. Add in some more profanity, anti-immigration sentiment, and the brutal shotgunning of any small animal spotted within a three-mile radius of his house and you’ve got my Uncle Carter’s reaction to that awful overtime loss to Arkansas back in ’06.

If he’d went a little more apeshit on the furniture, my Cousin Puffin would’ve offered him a scholarship.

And some cocaine.

On the whole South vs. North game attire.

First let me say this, all videos are blocked so I’m going off of what y’all say about his garb.

Southerners tend to dress this way for games because we still have social seasons down here, exclude Florida which is a northern state trapped in the south, and the hieght of said social season is during college football. That’s why we dress in clothes you could wear to church. Also the weather is more applicable to this style of clothing. I do know you northern aggressors tend to where jerseys, like everyone of you God damn yanks, even the ladies. However, that makes it easier to support your team and still dress for cold weather which is a good thing.

I for one will be wearing my lucky purple and gold polo, with my lucky dry fit golf shorts (protects against swamp ass) and one of 2 iconic southern foot wear. Of course I mean either sperrys or some gray new balance 574’s.

I don’t know why I felt compelled to write this.

Really, he’s just a more extreme version of the fan that every fanbase has about a million of: the guy who screams BULLSHIT on a holding call when his O-lineman is sitting on top of the D-lineman. These people anger me. Ricky almost transcends it and turns it into art, though.

A million cocktails to NCT. this describes every alabama frat daddy i can imagine. he’s thinking about going to law school too.

This guy sounds like Dwight Yoakam in Swing Blade yelling and carrying on. We get a bonus with the girl yelling in the background who sounds like she was in it also. I bet ya she is “county fair” hot.

Kevin@LSU -

You forget to mention Rainbow flip flops

We hear you’re leaving, that’s OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun,
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart.

Ricky don’t lose that Anger;
You don’t wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a Rant to yourself.
Ricky don’t lose that Anger;
It’s the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home, shoot yourself.

1. Kevin
   I’m glad you did. A fair and excellent review.

Grady@34: In most parts of Alabama, that’s just known as “hot.”

What’s the matter? Don’t yall care about football?
 Or only clever witticisms and obscure pop culture references?

@ 25

I resemble the last sentence of your post. Still the best bar in Charlotte for meeting the opposite sex, and going, “right, you were in Kappa at Georgia with my cousin, X. X is dating a pledge brother of mine.”

That is all it ever took.

“D. You have to admit, these guys have a killer setup for football. Two small tvs and a nice plasma in the middle.”

Yes, and 1980’s style folding chairs that they “borrowed” from 2nd Baptist Church of Fort Payne.

2 things about Ricky
1. He never played the game at a competitive level. If you have, you get over the little stuff like ref calls. You realize that they balance out.

2. Sadly, Ricky, at some point in time, will strike a female with a closed fist. If his wife/girlfriend sees this, run do not walk away from this punk. He will hurt you.

hey col reb -

Change the “A” on Ricky’s shirt to an “M” and there’s 30,000 rednecks just like him in the grove on game weekends in Oxford.

Ricky’s embarrassing. Shameful. Sorry about him and people like him. I take comfort in the fact that every fanbase has lots of Rickys. I’m glad i don’t know him. That said, I put my shaker in my belt loop. It’s from my senior season four years ago, and I’ll be damned before I lose that thing.

@36

A billion cocktails for the Steely Dan love.

Former UA frat daddy/business school major/law school alum here. I finally watched the video. I don’t act like Ricky.

Also, nice breakdown, Kevin@LSU.

I was in Atlanta for the game, and was floored by the number of VT fans who wanted to discuss the wardrobe choices of Alabama fans as opposed to the game.

What a fucking ree-ree.

GO GATORS!

@#39,

1) It’s nice to meet you Ricky.

2) It’s not obscure anymore when everyone uses them.

That is the aboslute epitome of Alabama fandom.

I wonder what he majored in. In college. At Alabama.

@ 43: Burn??

KC@30…you have to be kidding me right? For 30+ years of watching SEC football, no single team in the conference gets more ‘judgement’ calls go thier way than Bama. You may point out single exceptions, but the rule is far and away in your favor. If you poll all 11 other fanbases, I promise that Bama gets the top spot in all 11.

Upon second viewing, the best part: “MotherFUCKER God DANG!”

Muslim suicide bomber training schools will be using this video to show trainees what pussies they are for not loving Allah like he loves football

God help us all if a video of this guy watching Alabama losing to Auburn ever gets on the net

Mostly the same reaction of most Georgia fans around Halloween time, except followed by hollow whimpering in a corner.

This guy needs a reality show. I want to see how Ricky acts every week when Alabama get’s their one penalty per game.

His friends love him.

@51: Note the careful strategic use of the phrase “feeling persecuted.”

“Feeling persecuted”…

1) Ricky needs a severe beating.
2) “Danger Seekers” gets funnier every time I see it.

hey fresh

your numbers are askew…it’s 37,000 rednecks now. remember we bowled in the south end zone. with any luck we’ll be successful enough this year to warrant a bowling in of the NEZ, bringing our grand total to around 42,500. 42,560 if you wanna count the people working the concessions…and you do.

“LOST HIS COOL?!?!?! I DONE LOST MY COOL!!!!”

I grew up in B’ham and have worked my way (regretfully) up the east coast and all around east of the mississippi.
I can truly say that this is the definitive UA fan- basically ignorant and obnoxious. And while most Bama “fans” truly had never been to campus until they built the stadium there, I’d bet Roll Tide Ricky did. He’s in a tucked in collared shirt and shorts and visor- somewhat vanilla for a southern alum/fan. Most of the ones that didn’t go to school are sitting on their porch wearing their t-shirt they wear in their job as a painter or electrician or mechanic.

In all fairness, most all fanbases have a lot of Rickies, but Bama Rickies are much more prevalent than any other fan base i have ever seen. I will say though that Virginia Tech is a very very close second. Ironic that they opened this season together, it’s nearly identical in basically every respect to Bama fandom- rednecky, ignorant, loud, obnoxious, fightin’, non-alum, who curse every penalty as bullshit and hyping each year as the best team ever and touting their place in the national championship.

LSU rounds out the top 3, but combines the aspects of the non-alum fan with the alum fan, as everyone watching the games in the stands and in their trailers is just about the same…

and i agree- i hope this becomes a weekly video upload, tracking Ricky through the whole season. “muh table!” and “mother fucker god dang!” made my day.

ok. i admit it, i desperately want to see a video of this guy watching the president’s speech last night.

@53

I think if you hooked Ricky up to the Large Hadron Collider and showed him footage of Bama Iron Bowl losses, you could create black holes.

We have GOT to get Ricky and this guy together if both Bama and Florida make it to Atlanta:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzFc9IIg7i0&feature=related

First for their reactions during game, and Second for the inevitable closed-eyes-open-hand slap fight immediately after.

Make it pay-per-view and you could retire immediately afterwards.

Sullivan013

I want to see Ricky’s reactions to:

1) Florida beating Bama in the SEC Championship last year
2) The ass whipping that Utah put on Bama

I would laugh myself til I pissed. We need “Cowboy from TN” to meet this guy.

i think someone should make the black version of this ala Mad Real World or the guido video going to the jersey shore in the hyundai

Loved the lady who had no problem with screeching “motherfucker” but dasn’t take the Lord’s name in vain with gol dangit.
Bless her heart.

@Pig Stabbin: that might also have something to do that for 30+ years Alabama has been one of the best teams and everybody thinks the refs had it out for them in a close loss to a superior team. Kinda like this idiot fan in the youtube video.

Which 30 years are you talking about?

@62…..I think he was actually there. “You LIE…”

@67- You don’t know that girl? I think I know a half dozen of her at least. If you say it at a college football game, it doesn’t count, but even if it did, she’ll be at church tomorrow morning to ask for forgiveness,

Of course, I think country fair is an unnecessary modifier of hot, so what do I know.

Man….do I ever love the south….

Motherfucker! God DANG! (?)

@KingCockfight, so noted.

Wow, that is pathetic. I guess he doesn’t mind blacks, as long as they’re on his team. I’m just grateful that I don’t live my life through 18 year olds, it doesn’t look healthy.

Can we get the guy that shot the video and posted it on Youtube on some kind of retainer? If he ever wuz a’friend he ain’t no more.

1000 cocktails to HIM.

@ 13. i know your sisters a trick ’cause i fucked her.

we’re gonna put a hurtin on y’alls bitch asses soon enough, enjoy talkin shit while you can…(well come to think of it. y’all haven’t beaten us since 03 so why are you talkin shit exactly?)

As long as we’re piling on here — can Michigan fans ask to see his reaction to Ryan Pflugner’s missed extra point in the from the Orange Bowl?

@ 77

A true poet indeed.

I’d like to see stats on domestic violence calls during and after Tahd games. I’m sure there’s a spike. This guy’s girlfriend (presumably the wealthy folding-table owner) is truly lucky Bama didn’t lose.

That Dog thought Ricky’s reaction was perfectly reasonable.

@69 – whichever 30 years you want to talk about.

Ricky’s mother…no doubt.

http://www.finebaum.com/media/humor/Phyllis_20041006.wma

Honestly, Hollywood couldn’t create this kind of stuff…I really need to consider moving.

This embarrassing for most of us Bama fans, but the comment about going to Atlanta to blow his God damn head of was worth every ounce of shame.

Dad. of. the. Year.

I’m assuming this ass-hat is ranting about the unsportsmanlike penalty called on McClain when he shoved the ref. Typical Alabama moron. McClain should have been ejected and suspended for at least a game. No Bama fan can ever bitch an moan about officiating. Bama gets everything handed to them. I hope Ricky brings his “passion” to Oxford on October 10th to see if he can still spew that garbage through the blood running from his nose after he makes the mistake of popping off to someone in the Grove. Bama bitch #42,765 out of 96,876. Just another loser.

This man is worthless. I mean really worthless. I’m embarrassed that I even live in the same state as this idiot. Hey Ricky you need to GET A LIFE! I would like to see you bump into a black man on the street that has viewed this video, that would be fun to watch. By the way, your own player admitted it was a personal foul and went to the ref and opposing player in an act of sportsmanship to tell them so. Thank God he has some class because you wouldnt know it if it hit you in the face.

Please tell me someone reading this knows this man, and knows his boss’s email address. Bonus points if his boss is a polite old black man.

“God damn ref pussy”

Brilliant. God bless ’em.

I will be using the phrase “Ricky” as often as possible.

I will refer to saturday game time as “time to get mah Ricky on”

I will refer to obscenity laced tirades directed at my TV as “Rickyin’ the fuck out”

This can not be over used.

This is video evidence proving that everything you have ever heard about Bama fans, is indeed true.

Everyone thought I was crazy or just had an axe to grind with regards to the state of Alabama, specifically Bama fans. Now you know what I was talking about. I’m not going to lump all Bama fans together, but Ricky accounts for a very large majority of the fan base and on a scale of 1-10 he’s really only about an 8. I knew a guy once that got so pissed during an Alabama game (one they were winning by the way) that he started to stomp his foot on the floor and stomped it so hard he shattered his ankle and had to go to the hospital.

The Bama fan base has always baffled me but I think they are so crazy for two reasons: 1.) this is all they have, will ever have, and all they will ever know, 2.) I think collectively the Bama fan base knows that to the rest of the world they sound like a bunch of uneducated, dumbass rednecks (probably the worst in the country), and this is their only way of fighting back (“we might be dumber than you but we’ll whoop your ass on a football field”).

The pom-pom in his pocket compensates for his enthusiasm. So everything’s fine here; nothing unusual.

THIS!!!!! is alabama football

please tell me his middle name is bubba

Here’s the drunk lady kissing Nick Saban as he lands at the airport after being hired… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD1Gxrl4tLs

The ultimate Tahd fan…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7KdbvJUOL4

That looks like the typical Xanax and alcohol enraged Bama fan that I’m used to. Seriously, though… Alabama doesn’t have much to do besides watch college football, so people get pretty excited over it.

Oh Brother had an interesting interview with this guy: http://ohbrotherradio.com/post/194803729/wednesday-september-23rd-show-and-tell-on
