Chaotic Climax- Week 1

Week 1 of the college football season is in the books & it was pretty intense, y'all!  Yesterday reminded us that the level of success we've become accustomed to isn't as easy to maintain as us Bammers like to think.  I got scared early and often.  But while all you kids play armchair quarterback & dissect every play, I thought I'd lighten the mood and give you my Chaotic Climaxes of the weekend.

 THE REDEMPTION:
Who can forget Adam Griffith's missed field goal to close the regular season last year? If you watch ESPN, The SEC Network, listen to JOX, or use any form of social media, you're reminded many more times than you'd ever care to be.  So when he went 4 for 4 last night, I was like, "heck yeah!".  I feel like it's a major victory anytime I don't fall down the stairs in the stadium, so thinking about the intense pressure that kid has makes me agoraphobic.  The future is bright for Adam & us Bammers deserve a good kicking game for a change!

WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP:
While you were celebrating a TJ Yeldon touchdown, you might have missed how white Brian Vogler is.  Like the rest of us, he wanted to celebrate his teammate's TD....  But he went into straight derp mode instead.  Don't feel bad Vogler, I was in derp mode most of the night so FISTBUMP!

YOU GOT KNOCKED DA F--- OUT:
We've known from day 1 that we had something special when we lured Landon Collins away from his home state school of LSU.  After watching that play, I feel confident in 2 things.  His mother has burned that horrid purple & gold outfit she sported when she tried to steal her son's special moment and Jordan Thompson is pretty sore today!

FIRST DOWN, CHRIS BLACK!
I'm a HUGE Chris Black fan!  He's been doing all the right things & I keep waiting for his breakout moment.  So watching him make a crucial first down last night was the biggest tease!  We need more Chris Black in our lives!

MAKE A MAN MISS!
DeAndrew White suffered a shoulder injury last night... But not before he made the Mountaineer defense look like their soles were coated in butter.  Slip sliding away, y'all!

The Yeldon-Henry duo, Lane Kiffin's performance, & our fearless leader Nick Saban didn't disappoint either.  Did I get nervous yesterday?  Absolutely!  But that's why the game is played!

    More worried about our "D" than I am Sims. We will see how good or bad they are against aTm.

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

Rammer Jammer~A Video Diary

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
