Alabama destroyed Tennessee yesterday. It was great.
For the uninitiated, Tennessee fans are easily the most classless fans in the SEC. LSU fans are pretty bad, but that’s typically just the liquor talking… and after they’re done taunting you in cajun gibberish, many of them will buy you a drink. Auburn fans are annoying in that “your little brother the first time he beat you at a video game” sorta way… but Tennessee fans (in general, there are some exceptions) are just pure trash… which makes this win all the sweeter.
This is pretty typical: I’ve seen a lot of Tennessee fans talking about Alabama fans “living in the past” and simultaneously excusing this loss with “Well, Fulmer still has a 12-3 record against Alabama!” Now, you’ve got to give the Vols their due… they’ve pretty much owned us for the last decade and a half, but if excusing this year’s thumping by talking about what you did 15 years ago isn’t “living in the past”, nothing is.

Oh ouch. My eyes! I followed that second link (the pure trash one) naturally, there’s nothing like curiosity! However, I now am going to blame you for needing to go home and lay down before I can continue trial team work. Oh, and take a bleach shower. Blech!

Yesterday was a thing of beauty. Roll Tide!!

Nice post. The end justifies the means, Bammer?
Logan Young is smiling

Logan Young can smile all he wants. It doesn’t change anything.
41-17.
Give it another go next year. I’d recommend trying to score in the second half. Especially when you’re down at half-time.
What’s amazing is that many UT fans don’t even have the sense not to trash talk after they get beaten down like this.

Are you familiar with the name of Ears Whitworth? I recommend that you google it. Also, check into “thumbphobia”.
October 21st, 2007 at 9:44 pm
Oh, yes, you’re very, very clever. Nobody knows who Coach Whitworth was. You have really demonstrated your depth of knowledge of the SEC. We all bow to your superior wit and intellect.
ahem
As for this “thumbphobia”, call me when Auburn actually has a streak worth bragging about. Five in a row? That’s not even Auburn’s longest streak over the Tide, which pales in comparison to Alabama’s longest streak over our Auburn.
In short: Auburn’s streak is about as special as you are clever. See above.

It’s really bad when you can’t tell if a blog is pro-something, anti-something, or mocking something. Losers with Socks falls well into that abyss.
Tennessee football (which I rather enjoyed until recently, starting with actual seeing the grotesque collection of cancerous construction that is Neyland Stadium) is turning into the Purdue of the South. Every year they’re the dark horse of the SEC until they get rolled up by the big boys.

Ha. Or the kind of medium-sized boys, as was the case Saturday.

Has Nicky beaten your ass yet?

I took the liberty of passing along your ‘blog’ to friends who actually practice law in B’Ham
You may thank me later.
War Eagle, I got a big ole thumb. Taco John? Nice comment

What does that even mean?
PS: don’t have the stones to use a real email address, do you? He.

Bama’s win sets up a great game next Saturday. Honestly, I had no idea going into the season that the LSU-Bama game would probaly decide the West. It’s going to be a good one. What’s with the weird start time, though? (4 pm).
Hopefully we will get a week of good articles regarding the players on both teams, not “Saban vs Miles” crap… although I’m sure that’s what we will end up with.

All I have to say is, Bear never beat the General.
October 24th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
Yeah, and I have an undefeated record against Tennessee… so what?
Neyland never coached against the Bear while he was at the Capstone. Coach Bryant had a 16-7-2 record against Tennessee as head coach, and was on the 1935 team that beat the Vols… and he played in that game with a broken leg.
Also, as a player, Bryant beat the Neyland Coached vols in 1933 and 1934.
