Getting Ready for The Tide

Fact or Fiction? Question of the week:
Blondie's song "The Tide is High" was a tribute to an Alabama football post-game victory party where pounds of marjiuana were consumed.

On a completely side note about Blondie, one must question the soberness or sanity of Blondie when one hears lyrics from her like:

And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus

Uhhh, huh, huh, uhhh... what?





The best quote from Houston Nutt's weekly press conference:

“All right, Saban… you called down the thunder, well now you’ve got it! You see my straw hat? It says Arkansas Razorbacks! Take a good look at the Troy University game film Saban… ‘cause that’s how you’re gonna end up! The Tide is through, you understand? I see a gay-colored crimson jersey and we crush the man wearin’ it! So run you cur… Run! Tell all the other cur Tide-lovers the Backs are comin’! You tell ‘em I’m coming… and hell’s coming with me, ya hear? Hell’s coming with me!”

OK, I have to mention this. At rollwiththetide.com, they have an online questionnaire for prospective recruits to submit! Are you kidding me? Is the way Saban plans on returning Alabama football to national prominence? I filled mine out (see below) and I encourage you to do the same. You'll get an automated reply that says "Thank you for your submission. An Alabama recruiter will review your information." I can't wait to hear from an Alabama recruiter!
