RICKY IS EXCITED ABOUT ALABAMA FOOTBALL
Good morning. Ricky is an Alabama fan. Ricky wears boat shoes indoors. Ricky takes Alabama football very seriously, and sometimes gets very excited about the games. Ricky sometimes uses words he shouldn’t, words your boss wouldn’t like, and one word that black people definitely do not like. Ricky doesn’t care for your table either.
(Seriously NSFW audio. Don’t even try it.)
Son, Nick Saban likes the intensity, but not the lack of composure. You have to put yourself through the process to become a champion, and in your case that process is probably a series of rubber restraints during the game mixed with some Haldol and half a handle of Jim Beam. It’s worked for us for years. If that fails, there’s always toaster abuse to take the edge off a tense moment in a game. Oh, and you won that game, Ricky.
Ricky, one last thing. The n-word can only be used by three white men ever: Will Ferrell as Robert Goulet-NSFW!-, Slim Pickens in Blazing Saddles, and Rex Kramer, Danger Seeker.[also NSFW] Otherwise, it is completely verboten, like wearing your goddamn shoes inside, you heel.

Apologies on behalf of the Yellowhammer fan base….

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

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.

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.

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.

King Cockfight says:
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.

Kevin@LSU says:
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.

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.

Terry Tate, Office Linebacker says:
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.

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.

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.

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.
