With all of the football money rolling in, they might as well make it look like a Russian billionaires mansion. Why not?

Actually it's primarily off the ears. Asian elephants have smaller ears.


correct, and African elephants tend to be larger with longer tusks, but my post wasn't really a serious one

The elephant thing is stupid. Big Al, the hideous elephant trumpet, just do away with elephant references altogether.

Is there a seven-ton elephant dung to match coming to Bryant-Denny Stadium, too?

We get a giant cock statue and now Bama wants to copy us by getting their own statue


Giant *hen.* Still has no spurs.


ETA: And y'all broke, Bama? $415k? We paid Will $13 mill to walk and paid a cool mill for our spurless Cock-hen.

It looks like the statue was originally donated to the Yacht Club from a private collection, so I would assume the actual acquisition cost in this case was nominal (if anything).

Looks cool, but that price tag is ridiculous.
