Auburn Hires Pearl... Well, That Sucks.


It's been a pretty bad week for Bama Basketball fans, y'all...  First, Alabama Athletic Director Bill Battle announced that Anthony Grant will be retained for yet another season.  Now news has broken that Bruce Pearl, the man I've been campaigning to be Bama's coach FOR 2 LONG YEARS, has been hired by auburn.  So thanks to Battle's complete incompetence, Bama fans remain in a perpetual state of despair while auburn fans are celebrating a slam dunk hire.

Last Friday, Battle broke the bad news that he doesn't give a single shit about our basketball program.  After suffering through 5 years of bad basketball & a winless season on the road, Battle had an opportunity that legacies are made of.  By firing Grant & hiring Bruce Pearl, he could have rejuvenated this beatdown fanbase while giving Bama Hoops the opportunity to be great again.  But instead, he posted a diatribe in support of Grant & sentenced us all to what will inevitably be another disappointing season with Grant at the helm.

Of course, why would Battle bother to make such a bold move?  See, unlike Bama Hoops fans, he doesn't even bother watching the games....

Wait.  What?

While I was listening to The Crimson Tide Sports Network broadcast the Bama-Kentucky game earlier this month & while others traveled to Lexington to support this team, Bill Battle was enjoying a nice dinner with his family at Highlands Bar & Grille.  That's right.  Not only does Bill Battle not even bother watching Bama play conference opponents, he doesn't even care enough to hide it. 

Battle's blog in support of Grant stated, "Coach Grant has earned the chance to continue building this program into the winner we all know it should be.  He's done it before. He can do it again.  We need your support in making that happen.  I encourage you to rally around this team next season, to become a part of our success, and to help our team reach its potential".  Maybe our Athletic Director should consider practicing what he's been preaching.  Why should I support the dumpster fire that is Bama Basketball when our Athletic Director flagrantly continues to prove that he doesn't???

MAYBE if Battle had actually tuned into some games he would have seen that a change is necessary...

MAYBE if he'd suffered through loss after loss with the rest of us, Pearl would be sporting Crimson instead of orange & blue...

And MAYBE Anthony Grant isn't the only man at The Capstone who needs to be shown the door...


Thanks for stopping by, y'all!!!  Roll Tide!!!  Screw You Bill Battle!!!

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 su...

Bama Baseball Heads to Tallahasee: They Scrong!

Image
Bama Baseball is headed to Tallahassee for the NCAA Regionals as a 2 seed in the 4-team, double-elimination event.  Bama Bats will face off against Kennesaw State on Friday while The Famous Jameis FSU Seminoles take on Georgia Southern.  Bama's dominant start in SEC play helped them climb all the way up in the rankings to #8, but a brutal back half of the schedule left them beat up, beat down, & beat out.  After a one & done performance at the SEC Championship Series last week, the Tide goes into the series with a .278 batting average which is among the upper half of the SEC.  And with 10 SEC teams making it in, that speaks volumes. *auburn & tennessee did not. LOLOLOLOLOLOL* Now the big question is who's on the mound Friday?  Care to take a guess..... I think Bama will surprise people this weekend.  I'm scrong! Like, they scrong! Are you scrong? WE SCRONG!!! ROLL TIDE! ROLL BAMA BATS!

I HATE AUBURN!!!

Image
     I really do.  So in honor of being stuck watching them play in the SEC Championship Game today, I thought I'd make myself feel better by listing some of the many reasons why I HATE AUBURN !       I hate Patrick Fain Dye. I hate his drunken diatribes. I hate his interviews. Why should I care what a drunk, cheating, lying tree farmer who loses his own pants has to say? I hate that he can't even say the word family.  What does fambly even mean?  I hate that he's like the Jim Jones to the auburn cult!      I hate Tommy Tuberville.  I hate his ears. I hate wingnuts because they remind me of him.  I hate his smug grin.  I hate that he allowed his '04 team to receive championship rings FOR WINNING NOTHING! I hate his thumbs & that stupid saying, 'Fear The Thumb'. What kind of man holds up fingers to taunt heartbroken college kids?  A classless one named Tommy.  That's who....
