Letter from the Nicktator...

ed. - bumped from the fanposts

I received this a little while ago in my email. He is basically calling for all of the students to come to the game and show our support. Just seems like the typical run of the mill email. I doubt he even saw it, but I'm sure he gave his blessing. By the way...I never got one of these from Shula....

Dear UA Students,

It has been a tremendous honor to see and hear the excitement that you, as the student body of the University of Alabama, have created this football season. The team and coaching staff appreciate the support and encourage you to fill the stands for the remaining home games. Having the student section full adds a level of enthusiasm that only you can bring.

It is our request, if you are unable to attend a game, that you donate your ticket to another student so as many students as possible are there to cheer on the Crimson Tide. If you cannot use your ticket, please give it to another student by visitingwww.actcard.ua.edu.

This weekend we host the Ole Miss Rebels. Kick-off is scheduled for 2:30pm CDT and student gates open at 12:00pm. The team comes out for warm-ups around 1:30pm Saturday. Having our fans in the stands early means a lot to our players and also makes a great impression on visiting prospective student-athletes and their parents as they take part in the Bryant-Denny Stadium experience. We look forward to another packed and loud student section on Saturday.

Thank you for your support and ROLL TIDE!

Coach Saban

Cason Kirby, SGA President

Answer to Georgia's Blackout

I am ending my boycott of posting and also my hunger strike in wake of the results of the haiku contest. As the great strokesman Chi Chi Rodriguez would point out, "I was robbed." I know you're all very enthused that I crossed the picket line.

With that out of the way, I heard some rumblings on campus today and I think there is a movement to have a "WHITE-OUT" at the Georgia game. I don't know how many tickets they gave our fans, but I think this would look good. It would only work if most of our fans ended up doing it so I don't know about getting the word out.

Does this sound like something we (insert fanbase) should do?

JUST COMITTED! Another bruiser. Hell Yeah!

I have to have a certain amount of characters, but at my current state I will hopefully be part of an ongoing discussion about the back as soon as there is a better post. I am starting to think that I really should have just put this in the fanshot section. In fact, I'm not so sure it isn't already there.

ROLL TIDE!

Apparently Auburn's players aren't quite the "men" I once thought they were. DOWNSTAIRS

When did you reach Fanhood?

I just posted my moment in the fanshots page. 1989 Alabama and Penn St. when we blocked their kick to win the game and stay undefeated. Really classic commentary too, but when is Eli's apparent drunkenness not an amazing call.

Since we have all this new stuff to play with I thought I'd like to hear when everyone else decided it was gonna be the Tide. And none of this "my whole family" business either. We all know people can get sucked over to the Dark Side pretty easily.

I was barely old enough to know anything, but when this happened my pops picked me up and threw me...

I was barely old enough to know anything, but when this happened my pops picked me up and threw me on his shoulders. He circled the yard like 15 times. This was when I reached my fanhood.

TitleTown USA

I was reading over on ESPN about how BYU is apparently going to shake up the BCS this year*pause for laughter* when I noticed that there is going to be a vote for which city is titletown USA. First there have to be submissions from the cities pleading their case. I plan on writing one but I think everyone else who is interested should give it a shot too. Also, you can submit a video so anyone who is great with the youtubing and all try that too.

Honestly what in the hell does he think he's doing? I mean am I out of line here thinking that he has completely ruined Alabama Basketball. I mean I never thought he was a good coach, he's had super talented guys for years and can't manage to get past the elite eight...and now he's running off our best guys. Rico Pickett is apparently gone, our best defender Tubbs wants out, Hendrix and Steele both testing the NBA. The only reason I think Steele would even consider staying around is to get a year in with his brother, that is if the younger one doesn't decide to go somewhere else and take Jamychal with him. I guess he's just banking on Tony Mitchell being the next Derrick Rose. Jesus, we've never even won the SEC Tournament under this clown.

Sorry for the rant guys, usually don't post or anything but Gottfried makes me sick. I'd like to think that while the football program is making strides for championships under Saban, that we could get someone in here to bring some respect to the court.
