Call your mama...


...the Bear commands it: http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2009/08/18/great-moments-in-coaching-shilling-bear-bryant-says-call-your-mama/. Wish the Bear was still around. The perfectly odious Nick Saban may indeed get Alabama to the promised land again, but there won't ever be another Bear Bryant. I was always partial to Bryant and a little to Alabama, as my mother is from there and we used to visit there once a year when I was growing up. The first billboard you saw when driving into Alabama was George Wallace welcoming you and the second was Bear Bryant commanding you to buy some Golden Flake potato chips. Everyone, except maybe a few godless Auburn fans, ate them as a result.


This is just another taste of what's coming. College football is getting close so "Roll Tide" and all that stuff.
