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 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....
