Sure. But, considering the amount of money that football has brought to the university in the three years since Saban arrived, why the frick not?

Ten, you've just gotta find shite about Bama to bitch about, don't you!

Yes. What's your point?

Well maybe not statues but plenty of busts and monuments.

pathetic. saban should tell them not to do it until he is gone, but his ego loves it.

ever seen varsity blues? kilmer's had a statue erected while he was still coaching and it was bad luck.

How long before ingram has his statue? You know that shite is coming. I say within 2-3 years of him leaving after next year. Maybe not even that long

Doest it matter if he gets a statue? I do think they should wait until he retires but it's Mal Moore's perogative to do it when he wants.

I know it's the off season and there is very little to talk about but some of y'alls jealousy is showing a bit too much. Unlike some people, we show our appreciation for coaches who win a NC here.

Unlike LSU, Bama doesn't burn their national championship coaches in effigy; they build statues of them.





This is the kind of cheesy shite that makes Bama look bad.

I have no problem with giving him a statue....just wait til the man retires or leaves. Jealousy? LSU has won 2 NC in 5 years, no jealousy here!

Does LSU? What does a live tiger have to do with academics?

And Aubarn fans, what does rodeos, trailer parks (hey they're a monument in Lee County) and KKK fraternity parties have to do with academics?

I agree that they should wait until he retires or leaves but that's Mal's decision and we can't control that. I know y'all have done great this decade and I wasn't saying that some of y'all are jealous of us winning the NC, y'all are jealous that we acually build statues of our NC winning coaches.

TenTex!!!!! There you are!

I'd be happy to compare the University of Alabama's academic accomplishments with those of your University.

Please bring stats, or STFU, GFY, or die in a traffic accident, after you've thrown up all over yourself.

You're a douchebag of epic proportions.

Hey TenTex, Alabama is the 2009 National Champion. Pretty cool huh?

That is an artist rendering of two players. They are not of anyone specifically.

TenTex? Where'd you go?

Nobody posted more reasons why Alabama couldn't do it than you.

Where are you now?
