Ah, so you think I am being hypocritical? Well, not that it's relevant to the OP or the subject of the Bear's questionable character, I don't really drink, I just happen to be a shitty typer.

However, since you are an Alabama fan, I understand the vitriol coming from you or anyone else in your own fanbase after my remarks. What I don't get is the love affair across the conference for the man who did everything in his power to keep other schools in the conference down (which as the Alabama coach, his goal is to be superior) in a somewhat unethical manner. The common response was "well that how it was back then" is ridiculous. Just like the idea that Bear was some sort of revolutionary when it comes to desegregation, that hurdle was being jumped regardless of Bear Bryant.

The consistent lovefest by non bama fans is absurd. As far as Vandy fan above me, that's typically what new posters do, come in as "internet intellectual" to show this board that they are a "new" kind of poster, above the rest.

No vitriol here. I'm under 40, so I don't "worship" Bryant the way some of the older folks do. At the same time, I don't understand the need to trashtalk a man, 30 years dead, in a thread meant to celebrate his life. That seems pretty vitriolic. To each his own.
