Dear Tide Fans:
There are three places you should not wear your crimpson polo/jersey and hat. The fact that in the last few weeks I've seen more than one of you attend these events attired in this manner is disturbing.
1) Graduation: High school or college. I realize you may not own a sport coat or a pair of slacks, but the ceremonial aspect of graduation dictates (or at least it should) that you display some small amount of decorum. Nice jeans and your Wranglers' cowboy shirt would be an improvement.
2) Funerals. If you don't own a sport coat or slacks go and rent/buy a pair. Get someone to loan you some. And wear a fucking tie. It's a sign of respect. Showing up at a funeral when you're a grown ass man wearing an untucked Bama polo and your bama cap is the height of gauche. Doing so to the funeral of someone who was an Auburn fan and had AU themed flower arrangements? The epitome of douchebaggery. I can understand a child wearing a t-shirt and tennis shoes, but I cannot fathom how adults have come to believe that dressing like they're headed to Wal Mart to grab a can of scrubbing bubbles is acceptable.
3) Church. Same rule as funerals. Yeah, I'll occasionally wear an orange and blue tie just to tweak pissed off bama fans. And when we go "casual" in the summer I've got an orange polo (not AU, but Lacoste) that I've worn once or twice with a blue or white blazer. But I'm not showing up at church in my AU polos and my AU hats. It's disrespectful. It's low class. It's trashy.
For the record, I've never once seen anyone at a funeral or at church wearing AU jerseys, polos or hats. I have seen one person wearing an AU hat at a graduation. It was an outside graduation and it did begin when the sun was still up. At least he took the hat off when it got dark and during the alma mater, national anthem and invocation. Most of the bama douchebags left theirs perched on their idiot domes during one or more of those events.
