I'll miss ol' Bear when he dies...

I hate that lying, cheating, whoring, boozing son of a bitch, but I will sorta miss him when he's gone.

What? Bear Bryant is dead? He died 30 motherficking years ago? You mean Alabama hasn't been handing back Heisman Trophies because he didn't want them? You mean they've just never had a player good enough to EARN one? What the flock?

Somebody needs to have a talk with Larry Burton. He's a dumbass.

Most of the cousin fuckers still think his spirit guides the success of the Suckstone.

Does anyone have a picture of the skeleton dressed as the Bear someone had a few years ago?

You guys can mock the hell out of Bear for all i care. The facts of the matter is when I went to buy my morning swiss cake roll at the vending machine at work it became wedged between whatever swiss cake rolls always get wedged in. I looked to the heavens, asked him for a little help, and Paul William Bryant dislodged my debbie cake for me. He saved me .65 today. Doesn't matter what your politics are, that was fine ass magic.

It's fun to take jabs at men who who resurrect a program while bringing multiple championships to the school and teach young men in a way that 25 years after his death they'd still give their own legs for him. Who's that guy that did that for Auburn again????

Birmingham · « **Reply #5 on:** August 20, 2009, 06:17:33 PM »

Guess if we're just gonna sit around and make fun of National Championships and the Coaches that win them than Auburn's always gonna have more material than us.

It comes down to the fact that a vast number (majority?...not sure about that) of Alabama fans live all things current with Alabama THROUGH the glory years of Bear Bryant. It's not an attack on the man himself (although as any human, there was plenty to scoff at), but rather Alabama fans' inability to seperate those days and the feelings of entitlement they no longer garner.

Alabama is a LONG way from the those days, and the fact that in 2010, the memory of those days live on as a misguided expectation...of all things current....is ridiculous.

It is POSSIBLE Saban may very well lead Alabama back to those days, but I believe that even he has to wonder if he'd ever get his OWN legacy, or be placed in the same bucket with Bear even still.

I think we could probably guess how it would go.

wtf dude? Don't know what year it is? In this case (like most) it wasn't an Alabama fan that started this thread. Every single week in during the season I'll check up on whoever we're playing that week by visiting the opposing teams forum. At least 15 threads will be started over the course of those 6 days about how we're obsessed with Bryant. We may very well be obsessed with Bryant, there's an awful lot of houndstooth around town to deny that. But what I'm certain of is that you guys are obsessed with us being obsessed with Bryant.

I am admittedly obsessed with college football and everything associated with it. I just post over here because y'all let me say dirty words.

Did you bother to read the hokey ass bag of sap arti le that led me to start this thread?

Another flatulent serving of treacle rhapsodizung over. Motherhulking cliche stammered by a drunk 40 years ago.

If your kind didn't pull that kind of excrement out of your ass on a daily basis you can rest assured the name bahr brunt would never come up here.

Kaos, what's your problem with someone still recalling the lessons that he taught and the things he stressed were important back then? From the sound of it it's because he's dead. If that's the case, and I think it is, I question whether or not you're going to stop using math because your 2nd grade teacher has passed on. Or maybe when faced with something my father stressed for me to be cautious of will be thrown to the wind simply because he hasn't be alive for years.

Other than him being dead, what's wrong with people recalling the things they learned from him while he was alive? You're a soothsayer of sorts, been given the gift of gab. I'm certain you'll come up with something regardless of whether or not I hit this nail on the head.

There wasn't a bear in this part of the country when Bryant left. The Fedrul Gubment started importing them critters and setting them loose a couple of years ago.
