My Crimson Chaos

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...

T oday is my definition of the perfect Sunday afternoon.  I'm currently snuggled up on the couch in my jammies with Lex dog curled up next to me.  In the background, a horror movie is playing.  Outside the rain is coming down which will most assuredly contribute to the nap awaiting me in the very near future.  As I'm laying around enjoying the rainy day in all of it's glory, I've uncovered some pretty interesting facts, figures, & really cool useless bits of information as we head into rivalry week. I seriously cannot think of a player or team that has ever more universally hated than Jameis Winston & the FSU Seminoles.  Sure, many in the SEC joined together to secretly wish atrocities against Cam Newton & the 2010 auburn war eagles.  But every week pretty much every college football fan in the nation outside of Tallahassee rallies together to pull for whoever's playing FSU.  And every week, we walk away disappointed.  Will Musc...

On a really cold February afternoon in 2009, I sat in the parking deck of DCH Hospital in Tuscaloosa.  I was there to call on Coach Paul Bear Bryant's Cardiologist.  But Trent Richardson was scheduled to announce & sign with Bama at 4 pm.  Dr. Hill could wait.  Thank goodness he did.  I was reminded of that day while watching Bama take on Western Carolina just now.  So many times I have asked myself, "Crimson Chaos, why do you let the decisions of 18 year old kids you don't even know distract you so much?". Thank you Tyren Jones, Altee Tenpenny, Chris Black, Robert Foster, ArDarius Stewart, the list goes on.... For reminding me!!!  Dear Lowered, this team is deeper than a Blue Tuna Tiger blog post in 2010.  Lucky for us Bammers, the only difference is this is real life!  How can a card carrying Bammer not love Chris Black?  This kid has worked his butt off & done everything the right way!!!  His intensity & drive to be...
