You must be delusional. Outside of the state confines is doesn't mean much. I hear War Eagle as much over here in LA...

Every thing about Alabama is the best there is, was or will ever be.

Now may I join your mindless cult too? I'll buy a trailer, lose all my teeth and have sex with a relative if that's what I have to do.

All catch phrases are dumb to me. There is nothing more awkward than being somewhere and someone coming up to me and saying "Go Dawgs." I guess I just find it awkward when someone completely ties their identity with a college football team. How are you supposed to respond? Roll Tide, Gig em, Hotty Toddy, and War Eagle are the dumbest. What makes Roll Tide and War Eagle so bad is the frequency with which they are used.

Some of y'all are so funny. Yea, a guy saying go dawgs is tying his whole identity to a college team. You are a Georgia fan and you don't know how to respond to a "Go Dawgs"?

If by "everyone", you mean no one, I agree.

Shouldn't you be getting that honey-do list completed rather than trolling on a football board?

Or is that your pinnacle?

You do realize that people make fun of Bama fans over this phrase, right?

We've got a new catch phrase .... "gig'em Cocks!" that our marketing research with focus groups tells us is going to be very popular.

We're also testing, "bend'em over and pork'em in the arse Cocks!" which seems to be a favorite among the younger crowd and also works well on t-shirts.

Just when I feel I've seen the worst of the worst of bama troll attempts, something else always pops up topping it. Keep this weak-arse shite on your own board so you can all get off enmasse. I'd like to see the administrators start cracking down again on this kind of b.s.
