A Little History

Alabama fans are f ing crazy. I know this is obvious and well documented all over the internet and in the news, but there is an interesting situation occurring right now in Alabama the Beautiful. It is hotter than dickens down there. 10 days in a row of 100 plus degree heat. That sounds to me like…Texas…

If everyone can remember Alabama used to have a coach by the name of Paul "Bear" Bryant. I know he is a relative unknown down there, but apparently he was a hell of a coach. He won them the majority of the 57 national championships that the Tide claims. But before he was at Bama he was an Aggie and as the football coach at Texas A&M, he took his team of under-sized and under-talented farm boys to a little place called Junction, Texas. (You may have heard the story, if you didn't read the book, then you saw the crappy ass AWESOME movie on ESPN) Anyways, The Bear (that’s what they call him) made the team practice in cactus laden prairies for 10 days in 100 plus degree temperatures. What did this do? Made the Aggies go 1-9 that year. But 2 years later the seniors from that team led the Ags to a 9-0-1 record and a SWC championship. So you ask, what does this have to do with the Dores? Everything.

If the University of Alabama had hired a ball busting hard ass of a coach the Dores would without a doubt beat the Tide this year, but suffer for the rest of eternity as a whipping post for the Tide. Fortunately they hired a Prima Dona. A man that is no comparison to the Bear. Bryant left the Ags because "Mama Called"; Saban left the pros because "Dollar Called." That and the fact that he couldn't cut it in the Bigs. Lets look at the most recent SEC coach to do the exact same thing. His name is Steve Spurrier, and he still hasn't built South Carolina into the power he had at Florida. (Sure they make their players go to school and Saban won't have that problem at Bama, but Spurrier has yet to win a SEC championship and don't expect one this year at USC)

Anyways, my advice to Bama fans. If you want to win National Championship #13,987,532 demand that Saban take advantage of the weather. Take the boys to the country in Greenville, AL, and put the place on the map. Sacrifice this season, give the Dores the victory(We are going to win anyways…The Fog Horn Goes FMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH), and win multiple National Championships. Luckily Saban is a pussy, the ACLU exists and could you imagine what CNN would say about it today (stupid ass liberal media).

But seriously, something like this would be very helpful for the Dores(Maybe we could do it in West Memphis). We would get more media attention over this than when Gordon Gee's wife got higher than a hippy at a Spread show. Recruits might like it, or maybe no, but it would give me a lot to blog about.
