There's one right in Crestline Village so all of the Birmingham REC members can make necessary payments without having to drive to all the way to Tuscaloosa.

No no... We have the REC that pays ESPN and the BCS committee too. It's a hell of a lot bigger than the dinky SEC.

Then they can go to Whole Foods to see woman, other than their wives, in yoga pants.

I know this, so whenever I am in Whole Foods in Birmingham, I support my Alabama Crimson Tide by wearing yoga pants and comprising a list of groceries that can only be found on the bottom shelf.

I have a 2nd cousin in Memphis whose 1st wife's sister and brother-in-law in Tupelo bought property in Eutaw from the Bryant Family that was still deeded in The Bear's name ... and they paid more for the property because of that and have actually framed the old deed.

He also owns a huge catfish farm operation with the processing plant Harvest Select, farms in Alabama around Demopolis, a couple of farms in East Ms around Starkville, a farm and a hatchery in Inverness, Ms, farm in Hollandale, MS and a couple other farms including one or two in Arkansas I believe.

We have done business with them before.
My cousin runs the catfish operation between Demop/Uniontown/Marion, has worked for Jr for years.

So, Bear Bryant Jr. started the bank "Bryant Bank" headquartered in Tuscaloosa?

How do you think the REC launders their money?

And he's lost his arse in the business, too.
Coach Bryant let a select few friends (Frank Moody, Jimmy Hinton and Harry Pritchett to name a few)advise him in his business dealings. That was part of the agreement when he left A&M to come back to Tuscaloosa. Paul Jr. has proven to be a pretty good businessman, eventhough the catfish business hasn't done so well.
