Everybody has Bama fatigue. Even SNL.

We had 16 players graduate yesterday. 3 with master's degrees.

We had the most graduates last year of any bowl team and many of them also had master's degrees.

We're consistently in the conf Top 3 for team APR.

Which makes the skit pretty accurate.

The only class I took that had football players in it was the easiest class I took in college.

It's generally left but to call it far left is pretty hilarious.

It seems anything this side of the Protocols of Zion is 'far left' these days.

Anyway it's a joke about football players, to say it's because it's not a liberal university is fricking retarded.

That said, SNL has been painfully unfunny since about 1998.



I guess it was just a coincidence they picked a white guy to do it. Why not have The Rock do it, or some other black guy?

We all know why.

Having a black guy do it wouldn't be politically correct even though a large % of big time football players are black.

Because they wanted their guest to do it? Preston Dial is one of the dumbest guys I've ever met. It's truly shocking he could get into a college. If he can get a college degree, anyone can.

Congrats. I didn't realize Bama offered advanced degrees in fast food prep.

Cena also looks more like a football player than anyone SNL has on staff.

That's pretty false, I tutored a lot of people in school that were much dumber than the average football player.

You must not have tutored Dial. This dude was struggling in a class in which the hardest question was "What is a volcano?"

Maze wasn't noticeably smarter.

There may have been others like that, but they just kept their mouth shut.

This should have used UNC as an example rather than Alabama, that would have been much funnier and more realistic.

Thats pretty much a quote from the Ohio State QB who started in their Championship game a couple of seasons ago.

The idea and concept was actually pretty funny as were the professors. The first part of the skit describing the bananas nailed to a post was funny too. They screwed it up by going over the type dumb redneck after that and also the female student ranting on the school. They completely blew up the above average subtle humor the skit started out with.

Was this before or after you tutored them?

Lighten up dude.

I'm an Alabama Alumnus and even I thought it was pretty funny.

I bet you think Bladwin's portrayal of Trump is awful too.

Seeing as they didn't mention any of our past racial, ahem, "problems" or say that we were all dumb white trash, I think they did a good job avoiding the low hanging fruit.


It was better than the same old tired Gump and sister/cousin fricker jokes you see on the rant.
