Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

This is the Alabama Anthem gon throw ya’ hands up, put up ya A’….
and I ain’t talkin bout Atlanta, I’m talkin bout the Ville I’m talkin bout
the gump I’m talkin bout tha ham where them boyz pop tha trunk! [Alabama Anthem by the Gator Boys]

(A collective effort by Lloyd Braun, Grill Viper and Jai Eugene)

One of the hottest rumors on the Rivals Message Boards is that the University of the Alabama is going to get a real elephant for their football games, both home and away. Keep in mind that there is not shred of internet evidence to support this…yet. But who really knows what goes on inside Mal Moore’s brain? This whole project is entirely plausible, especially after watching the build a bear coaching search. The scenarios involving this beast are mind-boggling fun.

(Above, anyone can see the challenges of having a live elephant as a mascot)

Can you not just see that thing if it ever gets freaked out? What if Bama plays at LSU? Are they bringing that behemoth on the road? Will he have to walk by Mike the Tiger? What will happen if Les Miles drops some more F-Bombs to incite the tiger to attack the elephant? [Miles drops some F Bombs on Bama]

Has Mal Moore and Nick Saban thought about the enormous poop pellets that this beast is going to push out? Who really knows how bad the smell of the poo would be in a stadium, like the Georgia Dome? Will the elephant’s poop pellets be considered Crimson Tide Memorabilia? And will loyal Bama fans pay to have one of the elephant poop pellets in their dens and living rooms? We think that they will pay for poop.

We cannot believe this is true. I mean the Boomer Schooner, Bevo and the Colorado Buffalo are bad enough, but when you bring an elephant into the picture, the destro-o-meter is off the charts. Besides, the Bama fans will never support an African Elephant.

The spectacle would be incredible but if that thing ever freaked, the rampage would be insane. I can see the Alabama State Troopers pumping bullets into that thing as it runs into the stands. That is a disaster waiting to happen if true. How many rednecks have to be trampled before they shoot the elephant? You never mix guns and alcohol so why would you mix red necks with an African Elephant?

If you have been to Bryant-Denny, you know it is a great stadium and a great atmosphere ….. one of the worst things about it (other than the typical Bammers) is the elephant noise they pipe in. First time I heard it I thought Godzilla was coming over the top of the stadium ….. sounds like a crazed dinosaur to me.

    Can’t you just see the Barn’s War Eagle taking a shit on the elephant during the pre-game flight. I wonder if they are training the eagle for that at the Raptor Center…

  3. It does not matter if they get an elephant because the elephant and Nick Sabans ego can not fit into Bryant Denny stadium at the same time.

  4. what ?

  6. Wow….. There’s not going to be an elphant. Bama doesn’t need a flea-infested scrotum licking blue tick, or an eagle resembling a cross bred vulture to play the role of some half assed attempt at an iconic morale booster. Vols and Barners starting rumors. What a shocker. Fulmer’s a joke. The best thing to happen to Tennessee was (is) a former Alabama baseball player named Cutcliffe. Even our baseball players know more about offense than people from TN. As for you barners? there’s a reason your “eagle” resembles a buzzard. WE’RE THE TIGERS! How original.

    hey MST, you’re right. Bama doesn’t need an elephant (notice the correct spelling… fucking UAT), you Bammers need a coach to sign his contract.
    Bama doesn’t need an elephant (correct spelling), Bama needs to beat that Barn school.
    Bama doesn’t need an elephant (haha, correct spelling once again!), Bama needs more support from the sidewalk alumni like yourself and that classy broad Colette Connell.
    When you prioritize shit I guess you Bammers have more important things than worrying about an elephant. Besides, you still have the Big Gay Al mascot. Have fun beating Ole Piss in OT and losing to Mississippi State.

  9. Hmmm, an elephant. Big nose, big ears, big asshole. Seems to me Bama has a winner, which is more than I can say for their sorry excuse of a team. May as well be wearing tutus. And speaking of elephants in tutus, did I mention the Bama front line?

    Like I said, Bama has a winner. And it’s all they will win.

  10. Hmmm Miss game cock check your record books…when was the last time your little chicken beat Bama?

    Any of you idiots out there that actually think Bama is trying to get a real elephant need to get back on the short bus.
