Actually the “deacon blue” came from Fagan asking Becker, “like, man, then who has the worst football program in college?” to which he said “wake forest, man. they suck and are called the deacons.” Hence, Deacon Blues was born.

Great Sax Dept:

(no sax is not a typo)

Is there a country version of Deacon Blues?
(The original version is fine with me, by the way.)

Nothing like a couple of guys who name their band after a woman’s pleasure toy ragging on somebody else’s ridiculous nickname. Fantastic.

Between this post and the “National Titles” post, In the memory of Major Olgivie and songs praising George Wallace to be played pre-game, by God, keep it coming Orson!

T-Minus 26.5 hours and counting….

Okay, I think i’m ready

That Song Deacon Blues sounds like something you’d hear in a bar somewhere with a band playing and that had the interior decoration of a Steak and Ale. Leather seating, dark woods, those orange globe candles, of course a thick layer of cigarette smoke wafting through the air. And lots of bell bottom suits with turtle neck sweaters and sunglasses and sideburns…But they serve a killer fish and chips dinner special on Fridays.

Let’s be honest, Alabama isn’t a state worth visiting. It’s like South Africa.

I watch Yacht Rock and laugh, and then listen to Veckatimest and jam. Life is a contradiction.

Any liner notes on Neil Young’s Alabama?

Here’s to the Tide getting a wheel in the ditch and still winning with one wheel on the track.

Orson,
CYBERTYDE is ready to make an appearance tomorrow.
The cake is a lie.

I love the song like so many other Steely Dan songs because it involves drinking, sex and that lovely feeling of hopelessness. Perfect for when you have just been dumped by your girlfriend and want to disappear into a cloud of smoke, booze and ennui.

Nice to know that the chorus was just a throwaway like most Fagan inspired choruses.

1. - Bama Bombs are something like Cherries Terreshinski?

Brian - then they follow it up with Kid Charlemagne and suddenly you’re in the hills outside San Fran…and they serve killer window pane!

Don’t think those smug assholes wouldn’t have said that about any SEC fanbase.

OK, obvious exception of Vandy.

Ahh, Steely Dan. Most excellent.

We picked the wrong day not to have a liveblog, they told Lafever he would be anything, so he made himself a God.

Ale House, Columbia, SC is your place. And Llewellyn Moss is going to get his ass handed to him on USA purty soon by Anton.

If not there, The Flamingo on Carowinds Blvd in Fort Mill gets it. We got an applicable rate problem for him rat now.

Steely Dan has got to be the lamest band I’ve ever heard. Not counting modern day boy bands, but other than that, they’re the worst. I’m glad to hear that they were mocking us, if that is what I am to take from that quote, as that was the only reason I even attempted to enjoy their over-slicked yacht rock swill.
I’ve wanted to unload on them for a while now, so this feels good.

I hope we can stop Texas’s short/quick passing attack. I’m scared, but have more faith in our team than I have in a loooong time. rtr

Well, they can’t all be .38 Special or Skynyrd,

Ah yes, the famous Bama fan sneer. From either the confines of his trailer park porch couch or face down in the mud of his front yard, with all the musical taste of an empty can of Bud Lite, eternally looking down on his fellow man.

By the way, it’s not with envy that people view you or your team. It’s distaste,

Thought I was getting a Steely Dan / Dan Deacon Mashup. Came away hugely disappointed.

Just imagine what the parents will do to the kids if Texas beats Alabama…

Love Steely Dan; always have. Still do even though he just called me a cracker asshole. I guess coming from a yankee who likes strap on dildo’s (dildoes?) that’s not too bad. Roll Tahd you sons of Bitches!

Isn’t the best song about Alabama by those ’necks from Florida ->Lynard Skynard?

they call Alabama the Crimson Tide/call me Auburn Douche……(in my best Robin Williams voice) Goooooood moooorning Crimmmmmsonnnn Taaaaaaaahhhhhhdddd!!!!!!

Good point. The Bama fan sneer is almost as tired and unoriginal as trailer park references by weak sisters (Auburn fan, right? Trailer parks? Really?) like you. Well done.

1. - cocktails - lots of cocktails - for your choice of names

Other ‘Bama fans - It seems like the SD quote is a compliment, or at least a tip of the hat, to the Tide. Yeah, they call you cracker assholes, but they call themselves losers, and use your nickname as a model for their own, and for a great song. It’s not a pure insult.

Tusk-

I wouldn’t worry about Sullivan or the other boogs. They are coming out full force this week, buying up Texas shit and running their cockholsters.

They will go back to shutting the fuck up tomorrow.
