Three reasons why I’m a frontrunner for Alabama
I’m always trying to find ways to connect with my inner redneck. I’m a conservative who likes country music. One of these days, I’m going to make it down to the firing range. But since I wasn’t able to get into NASCAR (I tried), I’ve decided to give college football a chance. I’ve decide my team is the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Some of you are saying right now, “Wow, way to stick your neck out there with a 10-0 team!” Being #1 and undefeated definitely helped in the decision process. But there were three other reasons as well:
1. I’m a fan of “Morning Joe” and Alabama alumni Joe Scarborough talks aboot the team constantly. I want to be in on it.
2. They have a guy on the team who calls himself “Mount Cody.” That’s a damn cool nickname.
3. A buddy of mine lives in Florida where his finance is forcing him to watch college football (he prefers things like professional wrestling and thinks Nick Saban is one half of the Motor City Machine Guns), and texting him “Roll Tide” everytime they score and/or sack the Gators will be entertaining for me.
Roll Tide!
I can’t remember how I ended up here, and I didn’t read the post I’m commenting on. But I am compelled beyond resistance to say the following:
As a regular reader of the National Review and a big Buckley fan, I think that your slogan above (“Standing athwart history…”) is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s the first thing I’ve seen on the internet in AGES that literally made me laugh out loud. Kudos, sir. Kudos, kudos, huge godamn kudos.
