Dameth thow Ramlinger Gator! Thow has stolen from me yet again. Though my words spew forth from my mouth like feces to the ground, thow still findest a way to circumvent my every attempt at humor, widst thy reaving of my ideas. Oh, the shame of it. Bested again by a beast, which by all mathematical logic and reason, cannot fly.

Sorry there is not a play called "Auburn our football program started in 2003"
"Oh Jimmy Johns! Thy drugs are quick. Thus at the athletic complex I buy..."
"A good recruit is worth booster gold..."
"For I am nothing if not cheating..."
"Twere cheating Fulmer spoke of; for he may strew dangerous conjectures among in-breeding minds..."
"Good Lord, what madness rules in brainsick men, when for so slight and frivolous a cause such enormous Bear Bryant back tatoos shall arise!"

That was the best I could do late at night and off the cuff...
So there should be more coming if I get a chance to brush up on my Bard...
The tricky part is matching the situation or meaning surrounding the quote to actual situations involving BammerBall...

The comment refers to the sports writers, lawyers, envious coaches, and authors who libeled and passed off fiction as fact. A poor analogy of Shakespeare, Henry VI, part II, act IV.

Ok, so this thread has turned into Bama bashing (what's new) ... But I would just like to comment on the actual play, Bear Country. I planned on seeing it while visiting family in Montgomery, but missed out on my chance. I plan on seeing it in B'ham.
Hey TE, I'll even wear my houndstooth attire for you! ;)
Funny stuff, WEA.

How would you feel had Percy suffered the same career ending injury and someone was making jokes about it? I doubt you would call it, "stating the truth in a creative fashion".

This is below the belt...
I don't feel it is...
Injuries are a part of football and everytime you step onto that field you know it is highly possible it could be your last...
TP's was partly a freak injury indirectly caused by a stupid & greedy play call by his coach...
And partly due to some seriously thin ankles...

Bama bashers, in a way they are kind of like all those damn annoying Mac Fanboys with their evangelistic "Macs are the only true PCs, death to the evil Microsoft, Windows is scum"...now why do we need more hate? Five words for you guys: "Get the hell over it".

THIS happens when the site is run by an LSU fan and an Auburn fan.
in other news, since this site seems to lack in it, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, and Pete Carrol were all just in L.A. to shoot a College Gameday commercial for the upcoming season. where was les miles and gene chizik? hmmm. bet they didnt get the invite.

Technically, BC, this site is run by Rivals, which is run by Alabama guys.
Thanks for thinking that TE and I had the stones to overthrow the FSU guy, though...

well let's just do a thread tally.
TE + WEA - ? Kevin Donahue - ?
i don't really care, because both of you are good writers, but do you think you could go back to posting news? there's plenty of it out there.
i mean, when you post like two or three threads per week on this site, and you choose: "Alabama Shakespeare Festival" and "Utah Scheduling Issues," you start losing readers pretty quickly.
War_Eagle_Atlanta
· 5 months ago
Bring me some news--it's the off-season. The only thing I know coming up for sure are Alabama's sanctions. Would you prefer me or TE for that one?
Open mic still applies: write your own original material and I'll throw it on!

Trust me, your slap on the wrists from the NCAA's coming out tomorrow-as it was released to your AD today-and I assure you, we'll be back to putting up regular news soon...
I can't wait to see what a laughable "punishment" you'll get...
Though I do hear you'll have to vacate some wins from last year as a result...LOL...
Porcine

maybe all the way back to 05.
"BC"
· 5 months ago
just got the ruling from one of my inside sources.
it is this:
we vacate all of the wins from the '06 and '07 seasons except the win over TN and Colorado in '07. and 3 years added probation. no scholarship losses, no postseason ban, nothing that matters in the slightest bit.
Alabama is here to stay. sorry to let all of you down.
Bama_Babe
· 5 months ago
Yep, heard the same thing. Nothing that punishes the future, just the past. As it should be.
I find it "laughable" that TE was predicting - more like wishing and dreaming - the death penalty..
The future remains bright, fellas!
TigerEducated

Boo...There should only be a few folks wishing & dreaming here...and they aren't me...
You should be PRAYING that the FBI issue in Gadsden at that dealership doesn't turn anything up...
We'll see how just long the "long trunk of the Red Elephant Club" can extend there...But, I have heard it doesn't look good...
Having said that, our boy Reggie Bush in New Orleans was first reported in the media to have accepted HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars while in college three years ago, and they haven't come close to doing anything to SC...
But, again...You guys keep on keeping on...drinking that Crimson Kool-Aid, and hanging your hats on McElroy & that OL...
Don't listen when I mention anything about Ingram & Julio Jones enjoying their little cruise this off-season...Don't wonder how it got paid for...
Remain calm...all is well....
LOL...

Typical TE post. First line actually responds to my post. The rest, just a bunch of bull that you pull out of nowhere, thinking I'm going to start worrying about all this so-called "insider news". Because you have so many connections among the Alabama program, right?
Oh. Wait. No.
You have 'connections' with the LSU program. The same program that would love to see The University of Alabama burn on a pole like the scarecrow of Saban last November at the "pep rally". (Real classy, might I add.) So why should I start shaking in my boots over stuff you hear from Baton Rouge?
Look, I know you hate Alabama, but could you do me a favor? Could you, for once, just sit back and wait to see what happens instead of trying to predict every little possible thing? You are always wanting us Alabama fans to be concerned about something. Watch it though, some might mistake you for being concerned yourself.
If you absolutely can. not. wait. until the 2009 season, why don't you go ahead and post novels about Randle and Jefferson and etc, etc. About how LSU is going to dominate the West like they should have last year if it wasn't for "the 18 year old starting QB".....We've all heard it before. But go ahead and spend your time blogging about YOUR team. Thanks, TE.
I am calm. All is well.
"BC"

oh my god. you are such a moron. Ingram and Jones went on a fishing charter with one of their friends' dads. this was cleared up a while ago.
and the gadsden rumor was cleared up before that.
but uhhh, yeah, just keep hanging on to the hopes that bama gets the death penalty. that's about the only way your LSU tigers are gonna win the west while Saban is at Alabama.

Oh...and by the way...Getting put on 8 straight years of probation for violations in your Football Program...Since when does that mean nothing?
Chronic cheaters...THIRTY YEARS worth of cheating...
...and you still don't care, as long as you win...
At least Bama_Babe's got some class about her...You truly are "Gumpical" in your zeal for anything that puts another W on your record...
"BC"
· 5 months ago
i'm pretty sure Alabama's program got nailed pretty hard in the last episode. a big reason why the Tigers are even relevant today.
this was a much smaller case. not a big deal AT ALL. it in no way helped Alabama gain a competitive advantage. but spin it however you like.
you seem a lot more on-edge these days TE. is it because you're becoming fed up with Les Miles? the hat??? nooooo. fearing a 3rd straight loss to Arkansas? fill us in man.
TigerEducated
· 5 months ago
I can't wait for 2009...
Can't. Frickin. Wait...
As for Miles...4 recruits in 4 days...Including a kid you guys were begging to come camp...The QB from Prattville that won a State Title in Alabama last year...
We also signed the best player in Tennessee in LB Justin Maclin...
Considering we signed Rueben Randle, Davenport, Russell Shepard, Kevin Minter, and Mike Ford last year, and had YET ANOTHER top 5 recruiting class, I'm just fine with Les Miles.
But, like I said earlier...Can't wait for 2009...I know you can't either...
One of our opinions may change about the season once it starts, though...

Wow BC thats a pretty tough jab-notice I didn't say purty-different word entirely. Fearing a 3rd straight loss to Arkansas ? classic open wound pour salt line How in the Heck did Arkansas beat LSU anyway they got creamed by Texas,Bama and Florida. I think they scored 10 points against Texas second string D and we all know that there aint no defense in the B-12 right! Man I would love to see a Alabama vs Texas game and we came purty close last year
TigerEducated

Well, in 2007, our defense was gassed...Couldn't stop McFadden...Tip your hat...
In 2008, we had a garbage defense, that I was complaining about clear back to the UF debacle...and had groused about after the Mississippi State game...
On top of that, we started an 18 year old at QB on the road at Arkansas. Not exactly an ideal situation, but it still took a last second play to beat us.
Sort've the same way it took overtime to beat us on the part of Alabama.
The way I look at it is that Perrilloux really cost us 2008...7 picks 6's by our Redshirt Freshman QB was a direct result of no experience at the position heading into the year.
Then, we bench him for an even less experienced kid. But, I have a supreme level of confidence in Jordan Jefferson. I've been following him since his junior year of High School at Destrehan. Kid's going to be a great football player.
But couple an entire defensive staff that's on its way out, running a garbage scheme, players that knew it, and we still only lost by 1 on a last second play? I'll take the growing pains. The long-term is bright and I'm looking forward to it.
I'm extremely happy with the new staff we have in place, the kids we signed with them, & the kids we've got on board already for this year.
I am really excited for next year, as we return a staff with a plan on defense to a unit that's already bursting at the seams with talent.
We get back experience at QB-which is what we did NOT have last year-and we have only one real hole to fill along the offensive line.
I try not to break down our depth chart every time I post, but I am sincerely enthused. We return a helluva lot of starts & experience on OL, and a lot of talent. A LOT.
I'll take an 8-5 year where we made a mistake with DC's and in which we were a whisker away from 10-3 (The Alabama OT loss & the last second Arkansas loss are what I'm referring to) considering the massive vacuum worth of suckage we had on defense & at QB.
I'm extremely excited about '09...I keep repeating myself...sorry...

Ok now it seems to be working I didn't see the 08 Ark vs LSU game I saw the 07 game. I guess being in different parts of the country we tend to focus more on games in our own conferences- I wasn't trying to run down the Tigers and didn't mean to leave that impression. Last season I think I watched a couple of Ole Miss games a few Bama games and a couple of Fla games- The only Arkansas game I saw was a danged slaughter, I think that Texas fans were a bit disappointed with the Hogs -who used to always play the Horns real tough.
