re: The University embracing “LANK” is embarrassing. We all know what it means.

How can anyone support this team when they are flashing gang signs and selling merch with the Alabama logo on it that literally means "Let A **** Know"?

This is so fricking trashy, ghetto, and stupid. Meanwhile all we're letting anyone know is that our team is an undisciplined joke.

This whole time I thought it was taken from a Saban speech. The players fooled so many people into thinking they were just some good guys - nah they're just ghetto wannabe thugs who created a fricking gang sign for offseason motivation.

What. A. Joke.

I hated it because champions don't talk shite. That's something losers talk right before they get their asses beat. And we got our asses beat.

And I remember how Jalen was talking about his experience with Bill O'Brien at the Rose Bowl. And I said to myself, "This guy is taking like he is vindicated. Like he has made it". And I knew then we were in Trouble. And Michigan beat our arse.

Saban was finished or "LANK" would have never happened.

So I'm ready to turn the Milroe page.

I’d prefer if there is a catchphrase then it should only continue if you win a championship.


I thought for sure LANK was done after Michigan stopped us on the goal line. Yet it lived on.

I got news for you, bro... most of those players you've worshiped since the 80s were no different.

I was thinking about that very thing a few minutes ago, and then I come to this thread and see your post. Yeah, the whole "who's laughing now" before we've won even the SEMI-final game wasn't a good look at the time, was an even worse look after we lost that game, and is an even worse look now.

Wait so did the players start the saying, or did Saban?

Because if the players started it, then it definitely means something vulgar and that would actually make me hate this entire team.


The players definitely started it. After the SEC championship, Saban said something to the affect that he was proud of how they proved the naysayers wrong. The players were already doing the LANK hand sign on the sidelines before that.

That was an illuminating moment as to his mindset. He acted like he made it when all he did was do the bare minimum of what every other Bama QB since 2007 had done.

I'm not sure why you're getting so downvoted on this. Is it a revelation to people that Alabama has had low character people come through the program for a long time? The list of former players who now have serious criminal records is not short.

My attitude is leading to what, exactly? And, what is my attitude, other than i think this is a dumb topic by dumb people? I'm sorry if I don't think a dumb catchphrase used for NIL purposes anywhere near the top of the list of issues worth worrying about right now. But, hey, I'm not as smart as most of you "jeniuses."

You seem to bring up intelligence regularly. Yet your posts seldom give the impression that you're any better in that regard than the people you insult; typically just the opposite.

You criticized old, white men in your last post. I thought that was a very brave thing for you to say. And then the fact that you pointed out that you are actually an old, white man yourself? Wow, what a quirky iconoclast you are. I've never met a white person who criticizes other white people before!

That said, given what you've revealed about yourself, I think it's problematic for you to post here. Honestly, it's time for old, white men to stop sharing their opinions and just step aside, don't you agree? So go ahead and log off so that us trans women of color can have a safe place to talk Alabama football.

Anyone triggered by LANK is soft and has no right to call anyone soft.
