Tom Arnold, Bammer for a Day

Roll Tide. (Gears turn in that big fat waterhead as he stands teetering in place. Swaying from intoxication. “Am I saying this right?” He panics. A failure blend of coke and alcohol courses through his system. Arnold’s bloodshot eyes dart quickly to the side. What am I supposed [...]

Gettin’ Polytechnic with Wikipedia Karen

I wrote something the other day about finding an old photo of a Heisman-coached Auburn team in an 1897 issue of Harper’s Weekly magazine. I called it Auburn’s first national press. Then came Wikipedia Karen. There is no such thing as Auburn, said Karen. Auburn is made-up. That was the A&M College of Alabama. And [...]

Tired of Seeing Overpriced Dogs with Poor Qualities?

“Hi Jimmy, are they treating you well? Um… well look, real quick… we need your password.”
I heard it mentioned by a caller yesterday on Finebaum, but misunderstood; I thought “The Linebacker Bullies” was the name of Jimmy Johns’ cartel or something, and couldn’t find anything about it.

Well, I’ll tell ya’ Eee-Lah…

After a game, I huff as fast as I can up Bragg Ave. to get to my car — I park at the end of Sanders Street. I open the door and jam the key in and crank it up and find the station — I do that even before the cigar. I mean, I’ll [...]

Beat Me, Whip Me, Call Me Helen!

Buried deep in the feminine furor lies the reason for it all: a soldier, a Bama fan, asked him to.
Gross.
So broken is the Bama Nation, so used to it, their relationship with Tommy Tuberville has officially blossomed into full-tilt masochism.
“One guy said, `I’m an Alabama guy, but go ahead and put up seven anyway,’” [...]

Slipping Between Our Paws

By J.M. Comer
While breaking down and looking over this week’s signing day haul, it’s hard to see the silver lining for Auburn. I tried to find positives, some way to spin it — but I’m having trouble. Auburn was knocked down by Alabama’s signing class. The Crimson Tide took over control of Alabama, burning Auburn [...]

Re-Krootin’!, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Big Brother

By Big Sexy
It’s official — Auburn has yet again been proven to be the little brother in the state of Alabama. Yep, the celebration of the latest in a long series of highly dubious yet much lauded national championships for the Crimson Tide will begin in earnest this weekend, although the party has been rockin’ [...]
