How Bama got it's colors...

Long, long ago, some Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama fans decided that black-and-white school colors were a bit too dull. So they called upon God to give them colors that would truly represent them.

First, the Georgia fans stood before God and asked for their school colors. God said, "I see a field of fertile black soil...from which will grow a beautiful field of red roses. Georgia will be black and red.

Second were the Tennessee fans and God said, "I see a bright orange shining sun coming up over puffy white clouds. Tennessee shall have the colors of orange and white."

Then the Auburn fans stepped before God. God said, as he patted his favorite sons on the head, "When I see my beautiful Auburn I see a wondrous sky of blue with a shining orange sun. You may have the colors of blue and orange."

God then turned to the Alabama fans and said quite hastily, "Your colors are definitely going to be crimson and white."

Later, after the fans had left, St. Peter came to God and said, "Lord, as you handed out each fan's colors, you explained their origin - for all but the Alabama fans. I'm curious. Why crimson and white? What do you see when you think of Alabama?"

"I see the same thing as you see," God replied, "white trash and rednecks."
