Title: Bear Bryant, still dead
Post by: Kaos on May 12, 2012, 10:54:24 AM
But somebody forgot to tell al.com

Yesterday there was a story about a recruiting letter Bryant wrote.
http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/05/read_a_40-year-old_letter_from.html

Today, one about education being so important to Barh that it was his biggest recruiting weapon.

This one is Jerry Sandusky approved, too.

"Nothing's too good for winners. I want to love you, pat you, pet you, brag on you and see you hoot, run and shout and laugh, pray, hug, kiss, and win with humility.

Sick bastard. Petting on kids.

Reading the thread title brings back great memories...
Just before the 2002 Iron Bowl, as a horde of bammers try and make a spectacle of the Tiger Walk...a guy turns the corner with a sign that read

Coach
Bryant
Still dead

They all muttered something under their breath and left.

The man was a brilliant coach.  I mean tell me another coach, well other than Lord Saybinz, that could get away with writing this to a recruit without the media excoriating them:

Quote
I hope you will share your problems with me, whether it be at home, at the dorm,  in your school work, with your teammates, with the coaches, with training regulations, self discipline, or even flying a kite.  If you do that, I will try to help you, and if I can't I'll recommend you get a job, join the Army, join the Foreign Legion, but in any event, to reside in another state.

And that's the thing you get out of many stories you hear about Bahr unless you're a typical bammer.  If you couldn't help him win, he had not one bit of use for you, and would treat you like dog shit he'd wipe off his shoes.  It didn't matter if he (or his coaches) misjudged your abilities, or, as the letter states, he was unable to help you solve a problem causing you to be a liability, you were nothing but a burden  to be shed.  Sounds like processing has been business as usual in tuscaloser since well before Saybinz.

Need a skeleton sporting a mullet and a carton of USA Basics for the empty lawn chair on the right. Then Shane will finally have his seat beside that dead drunk cocksucker.

Dead hookers take up a lot of room. And they make your acid wash jeans smell bad.

Just be careful, if your attic gets too hot, it will break down that plastic like a motherfucker.

I'm always in!

I just had a glorious idea. The skeleton could make an appearance at the golf outing and we could swing by Jefferson Memorial Gardens in Trussville for a TigersX group photo. Prop it up next to his tombstone!

Good call.  Brain power would be about the same.

If you bring Carl you have to watch him though.
