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.

Athlon must not have seen the news or received the memo.  Mike Shula, his gold chain, and all of his f-bombs have left the T-Town Ghettos [Athlon] .  Nevertheless,  Athlon has Shula provide the foreword to Athlon’s Alabama Gameday Sports Collectible Book.

Coach Shula puts it this way: “There is a sense of  fucking pride that seems to weave its way into the fucking personality of the fucking players. I’m sure it was that way when I was here as a player, but now as a coach, it is much easier to see. I can see it in their eyes, what it means to wear the Crimson jersey. They are proud to be a part of this fucking football team.” Game Day Alabama Football is a celebration of that pride that all Crimson Tide players and fans share, and of the decades of gridiron excellence that have inspired it.  Fuck yeah!!
