Yeah I Said It
I have spent my entire life hating Alabama, the University of Bammer that is.
You know, the phuckers who, on any given Saturday, look like absolute jackasses waving their Tide boxes and rolls of toilet paper on a stick-- get it? Roll Tide. Ugh.
However, the longer I'm in Memphis the more I hate Ole Miss and Tennessee. However, my Ole Miss hatred has grown white hot over the past few years. And it really relates to the delusions of grandeur on the part of many of the fans.
When 'Bama or Tennessee say they think they can win a national championship, they actually have some validity. They are programs that have had, historically, the athletes, coaching staff and fan and alumni support to be competitive on the national stage.
Ole Miss's only hope comes when someone named Manning comes along every 25 years or so and that still is not enough.
And they try to justify EVERYTHING in their favor. Point, when Carnell Williams backed out of his committment to Tennessee, I had UT friends say "man, we lost a good one there." Not Ole Miss. When they could not recruit Peyton Manning, they immediately go out and print "Peyton Who?" shirts. Peton who? Yeah, one of the best QB's in SEC history who. But they did get Eli and you have to give them credit there; even though he did not have the team he deserved to have around him. I predict 2 national championships for Eli had he gone to a school like Florida or Tennessee. See, I just gave kudos to Ole Miss and to Eli. That's some humility some of my crazy ass Ole Miss folks should try every once in a while.
And Coach O-- like the 5th person on their list of coaches. One of the only people who would return their phone calls (I think I was 6th on their list). And then they crow about "well, he's the guy we REALLY wanted." Sure it is. He's just the only one who did not have his "call blocking" set to any number in Mississippi.
And they feel that Oxford is the epicenter of the universe. Hello!! You realize that you go to a school where the name "Ole Miss" is what slaves used to call the slavemaster's wife. Hello. Is anyone hearing this?
I'll stop there. I've made my point.
So back on track. My brother-in-law, Blair, made a confession this weekend and I have to admit I agree-- we both cheer for Alabama. It makes the Iron Bowl that much more significant. If both teams entire the game as top 10's, then it makes the game so incredibly intense. Who cares if the teams are nobodies? For a reference, check the late 90's for the Egg Bowl. Bragging rights just aren't as sweet when your 5-6 team demolishes their 3-8 team.
War Eagle!! Roll Tide!! Go to Hell Ole Miss!!

Great Blog...words of wisdom actually. I will give Mississippi credit for the blatant racism though("Ole Miss"), and their refusal to change it. I especially like it when black athletes go there and sing the fight song and yell for Ole Miss not realizing that more than half of the fans cheering for them probably have direct descendants or even themselves have owned and even killed slaves(some probably within the same week of the game). I think racial tolerance finally touched Oxford maybe last week. Gotta love the South!!
