Title: Are they putting vodka in their kool-aid now?
Post by: Ogre on January 15, 2008, 08:56:18 AM
There I was, reading my B'ham News this morning, when I read this quote from a UAT commit and almost choked on my coffee:

Quote
The news of Texas' interest in Applewhite surprised at least one key Alabama recruit.

"Oh, wow. A little (upsetting)," said defensive tackle Damion Square of Houston. "I would've loved to have Applewhite. If he wants to win championships, and I know Applewhite does, then he'll stay. You don't win no championships at UT, man. You win championships at UA. But he's got to do what he's got to do."

Here's the article:

It talks about Applesauce to Texas to take the RB coaching job.  But the bammers didn't want him anyway.

I would surmise that they have blown right past vodka and moved into pure grain alcohol status.

Sweet Justice if he goes.  All the crap we have heard here in Bammerham about Muschamp making a lateral move...I can't wait to hear all the stories about Applebum taking a step down just to get the hell out of Tuscaloosa.
Oh yeah, we are still talking about the Bammerham media.  Nevermind.  Hell, they might even wait until February 8 to announce it around here, so that the 'cruitin Nashenal Champeonship isn't affected.

They are already spinning it to "Saban showed Applewhite the door.  He just wasn't producing to the level Saban expects."

It couldn't be that their coach is a certified Grade-A asshole, could it?  Nah.

I hope they give Pendry the reigns and let him run the offense by himself next year.  It would be an offense similar to what we had with Mazzone.

We need a spit take emoticon for shit like this.
Wow. Just wow.
The sad thing is the fucknecks in Bamerham read that and nod their head in agreement.

With that mastery of the language, he'll fit in well in Tuscaloosa. Maybe even be a communications major.

Been hanging around Mobile the last few days.  You just think WJOX is bad until you hear the dipsticks down here. 

This is the gist of a conversation heard on some show called "Talkin' Football"

Caller:  "I need to clear somethin' up regards to Hoolia Jones.  There's a difference between getting kicked off a team and gettin' dismissed.  The boy was just too busy to put his full focus on basketball what with all these all star games he been goin' to, so the coach told him to just concetrate a little more on the football end. That's all there is to that."

Host: Man, I'm glad you cleared that up. People had some questions after hearin' he'd been put off the team, but when you shine the light of truth on it, you get a whole diffrnt story.

Caller: "Well, what about Applewhite goin' to Texas?  You think that will hurt Alabammer's chances with the recruits?"

Host: If there's one thing you know about Nick Saban, its' that he gets the best available people for the job. He's an absolute master at putting a staff together. He's proved that time and time again.  There's not a recruit around who will care who is the coordinator, all they want is the chance to play for a coach like Saban.  He will get the best coach out there, no question. And just because you think a Norm Chow or somebody like that would be the guy, if Saban doesn't look at them, what does that tell you? That they aren't the best there is."
