ALABAMA V. GEORGIA: SEC GAME OF THE YEAR OF THE WEEK

Embedded is the Youtube video that is currently the #1 show in Athens.  In Short, “Bama Strength Coach, Cochran, is firing up his troops by…err…..ridiculing the Dawgs plans for a “blackout” this Saturday. Listen closely, the quote, which takes place 1:04, is something to the effect of “they (Georgia) should be wearing black, they’re going to a %*^ing funeral!”  The best part is the nonchalance following the slur as Coach Cochran returns to what SNL assumes is…coaching?

 SNL has previously and repeatedly maintained that a CFB constant is that the ‘Bama fans are without a doubt the most deluded, biased, obnoxious and altogether illogical group of fans in CFB.  This fact, which has been supported with empirical evidence gathered through years of longitudinal studies conducted by men in long white coats, was recently bolstered  when a ‘Bama fan threatened to murder SNL after a previous post.  For most non-’Bama fans, SNL assumes there is no need to point out the irony of death threats based on SNL’s opinion that ‘Bama fans are a bit much.

Irrespective, this video, which has a strange southern “plantation-esque” qualilty, especially when Massa’ Saban strides through practice in his Panama hat, is illustrative of just how grand the scope of major college football is in the south-where the populace is broke and the Head Coaches are multi-millionaires.  Change the colors of the helmets and jerseys, and you wouldn’t know this scene from the one in Athens, Gainesville, Baton Rouge, Auburn, Columbia, or Knoxville (maybe). 

All you need to know, however, is that this game will be one of many in the SEC over the next month that will provide more drama and violence than any 10 Pac 1 + 9 games combined-sorry hippies, thems’ the facts.
