Guess What Sunday Is????


Yep!  It's that time of year again...  This Sunday will be The University of Alabama's annual Fan Day.  Gumps far and wide will flock to Bryant Denny Stadium to watch an open practice from 2:30-4:30.  But let's not kid ourselves...  These people, dressed in their favorite Wal-Mart jerseys, are there to get a chance to meet the man himself.  After practice, Coach Nick Saban, along with his staff & players, will be available for 45 minutes to sign autographs for Bama's finest.  RMFT, y'all!!!

Whether it's a mother handing over her infant for Nick Saban to sign or a few 350 pound armchair quarterbacks recording their best 40 time in years, The Running Of The Gumps never fails to disappoint.  It could be 140 degrees on a miserable August day in
Alabama, but I can personally guarantee at least 500 sweaty Bammers will be waiting hours before the gates open to get a glimpse of greatness.  Don't get me wrong...  I love that our football program does this!  I can't think of a better way to be the dad of the century than to take your kid to see a scrimmage & meet the best coach in college football.  I get that.  But a damn grown man has no business acting like a 13 year old girl waiting to meet Justin Bieber.

I hope my fellow Bammers have a fabulous time this Sunday watching our team begin the Road to 16.  But please don't make us a national headline.  My mama always said to never do anything that you wouldn't want as a headline in the newspaper next week.  Bammers everywhere need to listen to my mama this week!!!
P.S.  Anyone who can score a picture of Layla gets bonus Bammer points because I've yet to see her in the 35401...


Roll Tide, y'all!!!  Roll Gumps!!!

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....
