Apropos of nothing, I talked to a guy who played for Bama in the late '90s last weekend. He said they had bounties on all their stats "$X for a tackle, $Y for a reception, etc.," and they'd leave their cars unlocked in an agreed-upon garage. When they came back, there'd be an envelope in the console or glove box or something.

I can''t, off the top of my head, think of a single parking garage in Tuscaloosa in the late 90s. DCH (the campus hospital), maybe? There were a lot of large, open-air parking lots, though.

That's likely what he said. I was a few beers in at that point.

I'm sure every school does it; I just thought it was interesting that they had to work a little spycraft into it.

He said he listened to hip-hop as a kid.


Like it wasn't part of a greater point or anything, he just flat-out said in the interview that he listened to hip-hop as a kid.

I hate it when people talk about how weird our weirdo coach is. Like, let's just pretend the team is just self-coached. QB and MLB are calling all the plays.

No one knows who a 3rd tier ESPN3 announcer is, why they didn't call him "Bobby Lee" for a day instead is mind boggling.

That could also be construed as problematic

The few outliers have been really bizarre and out of left field. Auburn hiring away Chizik after putting together a couple of really mediocre years at Iowa State.

This reminded me that Gene Chizik won a national title. Has anyone ever gotten less respect for a national title than Gene Chizik?

ESPN management "asked" about him switching games. As if some radio peon would dare say no after they laid off all of those people recently.

Of course he couldn't say no, but I might buy they wanted to spare him from becoming a meme.
