ALL ABOARD!!! Bama Punches Ticket For The Lane Train...

OMG!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!!

Yep.  It's official. Lane Kiffin is now The University of Alabama's offensive coordinator.  The latest in a string of 'You've got to be kidding me' moments in all things Kiffin, I am now fully convinced he & the lovely Layla have a secret unicorn farm, a ladybug garden, a wishing well, a pot of gold, & a dang army of leprechauns to guard it all.  This is the only explanation for a man who led the Oakland Raiders to 5-15 over 2 seasons, spent a year making a hot mess out of Knoxville (okay, that's awesome), only to leave them like a thief in the night for USC.  While there, he completely lost the team & was fired in the most humiliating way thinkable by being dumped at LAX in the middle of the night.

 But hey! If you look past the trail of horror that is his head coaching resume'...  If you close your eyes to the blatant recruiting violations & his affinity for hot coeds...  This is actually a genius hire.  He is a relentless recruiter who can help bring the Tide Nation yet another #1 class.  Furthermore, though I haven't seen it, the experts have always been very impressed with his X & O's expertise.  And most importantly, Saban doesn't allow assistants to talk to the media but once every full moon. So there's that.

Personally, I'd have preferred to see someone with a little more character hired, but Saban evidently didn't get my voicemails. So I guess I am just gonna suck it up and punch my ticket for the Lane Train, y'all!!!  At least the 3rd Saturday in October just got intriguing.  Bama has made the Vols their bitch for so long, let's face it... It needs some spice.  I just hope his kid Knoxville (yep. He went there) doesn't catch too much hell in T-Town.

 And at the end of the day, this cannot hurt my push to hire Bruce Pearl.  And that's always a good thing. Plus, all you Bama men get to welcome Layla to town...


 Thanks for stopping by, y'all!!! Roll Tide!!! Roll Ki... I'm sorry but that's gonna take another martini to type out.

    Week after week I read your posts and am amazed at the writing talent, wit and flat out good information. You should write for ESPN, USA Today, Sports Illustrated or somebody. For real! Keep up the good work!

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

Image
A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he suffered a severe ne

Iron Bowl Problems

Image
F or the last month, I've been struggling with a really difficult life decision.  I'm not talking about where to plan my next vacation or what color to paint my kitchen, y'all.  This is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than that....  See, I am the proud owner of a couple of Iron Bowl tickets & I've been really torn about what I should do with them.  Before you roll your eyes and label this a first world problem, hear me out & you'll understand why it's been so hard deciding should I stay or should I go. Reason #1 I really hate Auburn, y'all.  This is not your typical run of the mill kinda hate either.  I despise everything about them.  I hate their fans.  They're truly the most annoying fanbase in all of college football.  I hate the way they not only think God is a football fan but he is, in fact, an auburn fan.  I hate the way they make signs saying things like, "God Thing" while guzzling bourbon and cursing at opposing fanbases.  I hate that t

H ave you ever been around that snotty nosed kid that won't accept not getting their way?  You know the one I'm talking about.  The little brat that puts his fingers in his ears while screaming, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".  Imagine about 200 of those little assholes in head to toe orange and blue.  But instead of the 'I can't hear you' mantra, they manage to come up with something even more annoying.  The auburn fight song. Yep.  This happened Saturday night, y'all.  I have clocked 5 years experience sitting next to the visiting band.  It isn't always easy but I really do love my section.  Plus, sometimes you get to score awesome pictures like this: Ironically, with 00:01 left on the clock, about 100,000 of my closest friends and I celebrated a much deserved win over our in-state rival.  Kids, I'm telling ya....  After suffering thru 2010 & 2013, the look of relief on my face would be virtually impossible to dupli
