Official 'Say Something Nice About Alabama' Thread

[Apathy]

They gave us the SEC West last year.  That was so nice of them.  We really appreciate it.

[razorback903]

Alabama isn't quite the He11 hole that Mississippi and Texas are.  It's still bad but not the worst.

[deltahogfan]

WHY?

[Dugann]

hmmm let me see.....ah well there is..... oh ya and that...... OK OK how about this.....hey now Listen here mister!

:razorback: beat the hell out of the elephants!!

[oldman1015]

they have a real football coach.

[kgr]

They ain't Texassss.  They will probably beat us by 6.  (Not my wish all you nutt cultists, just my prediction)

[Hammibal Lecter]

alabama is better than an STD...thats good

[UhOhioHog]

The greatest coach in their history is from Fordyce, Arkansas.

[ICEman]

Most people in Alabama have atleast one tooth.

...and they have on average one testical.

[DeltaBoy]

Bama Bells!

[subjectstorm]

They used to be good at football.

[DEVICEHIGH]

They got a great big boat in Mobile Bay to play on.

[subjectstorm]

John Parker Wilson's initials are in alphabetical order.

[DickSonstreetDFW]

Birmingham is a decent city.

It ain't Mississippi.

[HighcountryHog]

heck, at least it's not iraq.

[LSPRazorbac]

Everything nice about Alabama that I could think of:

1)  Bear Bryant was a great coach (but of course he was from Arkansas)

2).....

Ok I'm done

[casken]

I despise them less than LSU

[subjectstorm]

they only burned nine churches last year.

[sooieet]

Forest Gump

[hogSGreer]

They let people legally marry their cousins (that's bad), but they make you declare if you are kin or not  when applying for a marriage liscense (this seems better than not declaring).

[Junkyard Hog]

They don't wear burnt orange.

[tusksincolorado]

I prefer Alabama toothless women, they're prettier, over Tennesseee toothless women. Can't handle women wearing orange, even in the mountains on an Elk hunt.  :razorback:

[Sdalehogfan]

I love their best cheerleader of all time

Ah, Sela Ward, my favorite thing about Bama...

[DickSonstreetDFW]

We're not doing very good at this.

[Roadrunner]

Their offensive line can sure tackle, I'll give 'em that.   

[slopinhogs]

going to a funeral in Dardanelle today who has a brother who lives in Huntsville . He talks nicely about it but i don't know. :razorback:

[fourche creek]

[pfrg999]

I like them more than Notre Dame... But then I hate ND with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.... see that was nice

[pignosticator]

I liked the movie Forrest Gump, and he liked Alabama

[dman]

Bear Bryant was from Arkansas

[Reaganite]

They're not Mississippi State.

[TNHOG]

I understand that they have 32 cheerleaders. The reason for that is so that they will have a full set of teeth.

[OnYourToes]

In the middle of Alabama, there is a "bam", which is the catch phrase of a famous chef, Emril.
I like to watch his show sometimes.

Kind of a stretch but hey look at the topic of this thread. 

[mike7156]

They could beat ND and Mich this year.

[wincrimson]

The Oyster House you guys were thinking about is called Wintzells.  My buddy co-owns it with Cornelius Bennett.  Good stuff.

C'mon, now!  I know you guys are better than this! 

Let me give you a boost...  We gave the world Holley Ann Dorrough.

[biggiepiggie]

Used to be a good catfish place in Tuscaloosa.

[wincrimson]

Used to be a good catfish place in Tuscaloosa.

Still is.

The Cypress Inn on Rice Mine Road on the banks of the Black Warrior River.  Damn good catfish and cheese grits!

[Hawg_Heaven]

The Candy Store in Mobile.....one of the best establishments that I have ever been. 

[selfexplanatory]

I've read recently two pros label two states the best bass fishing in America.  Luckily, I have fished in both -- Arkansas and Alabama.  Some damn good lakes in Alabama.

I have never fished in Bama, but I am going to have to one day.

[imahoggie]

1) by far the best looking campus i have ever had the opprotunity to visit

2) i bet you can still hear the hog call echoing thru the convention center in birmingham from the hogs first trip to the sec basketball championship

[DickSonstreetDFW]

Fans are nicer than LSU fans and Mississippi State fans.

It isn't Texas or OU. 

They play in the best football conference in the land.

They hate Tennnessee with an unrivaled passion.

Houndstooth is a really keen fabric.

Their fightsong tune is somewhat memorable, if not Texas/Notre Dame/USC memorable, its at least Florida, LSU memorable.

Their marching band is better than ours.  (I'll be using that a lot this season)

Their coach seems professional.

They have some nice looking ladies in the stands.

They are from the South.

They KNOW the SEC is the best conference in the land, and again, aren't from the Big 12.

[lafella]

Gulf Shores is in Alabama

Speaking of I do see alot of Arkansas folks down here. I've talked to more than a few about football.

[firejunky]

Alabama: has nice beaches

[Immensehog]

Most of their tattoo's are spelled correctly, and they keep their tooth brushed for the most part.

[waphill]

Dreamland BBQ in tuscaloosa

very good

[mrcrowley]

they now allow everyone to drink from the same water fountain.

you can sit anywhere you want on the bus.

[Swino]

Their arrogance seems cute at times.

At least they aren't Mississippi

To be such a hell hole, their beach is very nice

They keep the mobile home business going strong

Bear Bryant, who was an Arkie, did pretty well there.

They very much resemble the classy English, in dental care that is.

They have a hair cut named after them, the Alabama Waterfall.  That is neat.
