Cry Me a Crimson River

So, it seems that the defending champs aren't too happy about the way their schedule stacks up for next year. They play six teams coming off bye weeks, which definitely sucks (although you'd think Nick Saban could get some sort of software upgrade that allows his cyborg programming to adjust to such matters).
But, they also want other teams, including the Hogs, to potentially move their schedules around to accommodate a change. Jeff Long is saying no at the moment, but we'll see if that holds up. After all, we're just Arkansas and they're Alabama. Anything they want, right?
While we're at it, the SEC might as well make a few other last minute rule changes to make the Crimson Tide feel more comfortable:
* opposing teams' first scores of each game will be deemed "just for practice" and won't count on the scoreboard.
* Alabama will be able to reschedule any game it chooses if Greg McIlroy wakes up that Saturday morning and "isn't feeling all that into it".
* opposing student sections required to wear houndstooth hats at all times.
* Nick Saban is to be given a full copy of each opponent's offensive playbook no fewer than 21 days before the game.
* mandatory Bear Bryant back tattoos.

Well, I have an easy way to knock that number down to 5...
LSU and ‘Bama share the Oct. 30 bye week, and then they’re scheduled to play each other Nov. 6. Move that game to the 30th, and LSU won’t be coming off a bye. Easy-peasy.
What’s that you say, Tide fans? That means that ‘Bama won’t get a bye week before that tough game in Baton Rouge? Tough.
I bet the ‘Barn fans will be frothing at the mouth if their game gets moved, considering the history there.
And, finally, it wouldn’t surprise me if a game got moved to accomodate ‘Bama, and just happened to give ’Bama a bye week. I can’t wait to see the backlash if that happens.
Add this one to the list.
When Alabama lines up to kick a field goal, they will be allowed to use the Leigh Tiffin model goal post with its twenty feet of extra width. Those who remember Alabama’s visit in 2006 will know what I am talking about.
I most definitely do
Will the Arkansas kickers be allowed to use the Kiffin goalposts? We could use the help, too.
Not necessary
I am sure that after the Liberty Bowl kick that Tejada has the whole field goal kicking thing down now, haha. Smooth sailing from here on out, I am sure. haha.
That's funny....
How ever will I handle such a deep blow?

FYI...
its McELROY…now you can properly blast a QB who’s never lost a game and has a NC ring to boot…
Lane Kiffin took the meaning of "Volunteer" WAY too seriously....
When he DOES lose,
dude’s gonna hang himself. Just sayin’.

Since we're clearly running ish now...
….may I make a few more demands suggestions?
1. LSU fans must be muzzled at all times.
2. Arkansas fans have to quit wearing those silly plastic hog helmets. Seriously, y’all making the rest of us look bad by association.
3. For every game Ole Miss wins, they have to lose a party.
4. Auburn can only roll Toomer’s Corner for moral victories. That actually shouldn’t really change the frequency of rollings too much.
5. Mississippi State has to bring in extra bleachers and gimmick uniforms every time we play them.
6. Same for Georgia.
7. Kentucky has to use a basketball instead of a football on their offensive possessions. They won’t mind.
8. Florida….actually, Florida has kind of a “honored foe” status for us, so carry on.
9. Vanderbilt has to forfeit at least three hours before kickoff. Quit wasting everyone’s time.
10. Stephen Garcia will be granted unlimited eligibility and named the starter for SC at least until 2025.
11. Tennessee has to replace Neyland’s maxims with Kiffin’s.

How's the tackle practice going this spring? Just jump over to RBR if you need a reminder as to why.
8 or 13 It's more than your school. You can call Bama's fans what you want while your thinking of the national title.
Oh no....
looks like some people got their feelings hurt!

Well what do ya know!
More bama fans whining and bitching because they can’t take a joke! Happens all the time. Now I understand why everyone knows that anyone associated with the university of alabama is a dumb ass
yea because arkansas has such a good rep for smart people

Does anyone have a picture of
a JB Hunt trucker wearing clothes he bought at Dillards while standing in front of a Walmart eating a piece of Tyson fried chicken? That would be hilarious!

If you find nothing
out of the ordinary with a friend or relative fitting the above description, then you might be a redneck!
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

(sigh)...
Are you unable to detect humor?
You’ve been a member of Expats for less than 6 hours, and the only thing you’ve managed to contribute has been “Arkansaw sukks” and “Arkansaw peeple R stoopid”, based on an article that’s clearly satire.
Other ‘Bama fans have been able to recognize this as nothing but snark. Why can’t you?
thanks for the lecture by the way. real nice

Some of us can take a joke....
* Alabama will be able to reschedule any game it chooses if Greg McIlroy wakes up that Saturday morning and “isn’t feeling all that into it”.
Because, if you saw the A-Day game Saturday, you know that we should reschedule that turkey…not one of G-Macs better outings.
