Rammer Jammer~A Video Diary


Have 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 duplicate!  Thank the Good Lord I had enough mental facilities in tact to capture it on this selfie video:



But when I think they cannot disappoint me more, auburn decides to go all auburn.  In my 5 years of being next to the visitors' section, I'd never witnessed what I did Saturday.  Typically the opposing team's band plays their fight song once, wipes their tears & takes what is inevitably coming to them like big boys & girls should. But not this bunch.

Let me preface by saying that auburn loves singing their reverse version of Rammer Jammer.  They love it so much, they even sung it earlier this very basketball season to a team not named Alabama.  So when it was time to sing Rammer Jammer in Bryant Denny Stadium Saturday, auburn's band decided to play their fight song.

Not once.

Not twice.

But three times.



Just like the little brat blowing snot bubbles and screaming, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU", I suppose auburn thought that by playing their fight song enough they could change the outcome.  Hey auburn!  We still beat the hell out of you!  You could've played that fight song until Sunday and the score would have still put us in the ATL next Saturday while you're paying yet another coach not to show up for work this morning.


I guess you are probably asking what in the world does one do in that situation?  I clearly didn't put the drum major's head thru a bass drum because I really wanted to make it thru the weekend arrest free.  Instead, I did what champions do.  I just got louder....



Saban once said, "Eliminate the clutter and all the things that are going on outside and focus on the things that you can control & how you go about & take care of your business".

After we beat auburn Saturday night in Bryant Denny Stadium, that's exactly what I did....






ROLL TIDE, Y'ALL!  Go to hell, auburn!

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....
