re: Can anyone explain Alabama fans’ infatuation with using French heritage as an insult?
Posted by tigerinridgeland on 3/12/24 at 4:13 am
You really don’t know France if you think that. Paris does have a large population of immigrants, but so does LA, NYC, Miami. The Loire Valley is amazing. Brittany and Normandy are beautiful , the former largely unknown to Americans. France has an amazingly diverse geography that can entirely change...

The French Resistance played a significant role in the Allied Invasion of Normandy, providing intelligence and sabotaging railways, etc. Eisenhower called the work of the Resistance “invaluable.” I suggest you broaden your sources of information. ...

Most of LSU’s coaches since at least Paul Dietzel have not been Southern, or at least Deep Southern, Arnsparger, Archer, DiNardo, Saban, Miles, and Kelly. I doubt it will be an issue at Bama either. ...

Not sure I would call it a level playing field. Just the factors that heavily influence recruiting have changed with NIL, but the haves will still have. The others will pick up the leftovers. pretty much as it happens now. The number of haves may get even more concentrated, but there can be some shi...

And Paul Dietzel, an Ohio product also. In fact, Stovall and Orgeron are the only two head coaches from Louisiana since at least before Dietzel. McClendon (Ark.) Hallman (Ala.) are the only two other Deep South head coaches. Arnsparger was from Kentucky and played at Miami (Ohio) and Archer was bo...

They made a good effort when Wisconsin drove down and settled for a field goal. Keeping them out of the end zone was a huge deal, obviously. ...

One fun side story, in the film of the Cannon punt return, there appears to be a ref running down the sideline as Cannon is making his way down field. But he was no official. Instead, he was an Ole Miss fan who didn’t have a ticket to the game, and couldn’t find one, so he went back to his car, put ...

Can’t disagree. Seeing the fjords from the water on a ship is incredible. Had the good fortune to do it on a small cruise ship, not a floating city. Even got to see the midnight sun over the Arctic Ocean. But the scenery is second to one. ...
