Occupy Bryant Denny

On Saturday, November 5, 2011 the Fighting Tigers of LSU will Occupy Bryant Denney Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Some of us, our fathers and grandfathers were raised to respect the University of Alabama. They were the flagship program of the Southeastern Conference, winning National Championships and representing our league to the rest of the country. We derived much of our self-worth, the meaning of what SEC Football was, from their success and glory.
From 1971 to 1982 they defeated us every year, until a pair of freshmen running backs known as the Dalton-James gang along with a stout defense defeated the iconic Paul “Bear” Bryant’s team in his final season. When the Bear died, true Tiger Fans respectfully mourned.
From 1971 to 2000, the Crimson Tide came into Death Valley, and defeated us on our own turf on 15 occasions, until we finally broke the string. That team was led by a man who took our program, which was coming off the worst period in its history, and laid the groundwork for awakening a sleeping giant.
That 2000 win begin LSU’s own era of domination in winning seven of eight games against the once-vaunted Crimson Tide. It also signaled the beginning of the most successful period in LSU history, the Tigers rise to the pinnacle of the SEC. The coach who started the ascent valued money and professional glory over loyalty. He chose a hotel in a foreign land, away from Baton Rouge, to announce his departure from the program on Christmas day.
Long thought of as an abandonment it is now clear that “Little Nicky”, through with no intent of his own, truly gave the best Christmas gift could to Tiger fans.
At first many of us were skeptical of this new gift. It wore his hat funny, tried a Madonna-like headset, used awkward words and syntax…there were inevitable comparisons to the more sleek and polished image of the coach he replaced. There was a championship that outsiders said was done “with the former coach’s players”…Tiger fans argued against that, but somewhere in our minds, we wondered. There were more losses than we thought acceptable, game management gaffes, co-defensive coordinators followed by offensive futility.
Through it all, The Hat abides.
He stayed loyal to the program, even when “mama” called on two occasions. Today, he has elevated Louisiana State University into a juggernaut. The nation’s Number One Team. A team that most are saying is the best ever edition of the Fighting Tigers. A team with two players at the QB position who have overcome adversity and set aside their personal goals to each contribute the best of their skills. A team with such great depth that when one player is out of the lineup, another steps in with no dropoff in production. A team that is simply- the definition of team. A team that is willing to run through a wall for its head coach not because of fear, or because the coach can help further their professional ambitions, but because of genuine respect and love for the man who leads them and the game they are playing. A team that has WANT.

Which brings us to our opponent in this game. They represent the antithesis of all that we hold dear, a once proud program that held on too long to the vestiges of its past, that went through scandal and mismanagement in a series of coaching changes. That in an attempt to rescue their past glory sold their soul to the same charlatan that once patrolled our sidelines. The resurrection was quick, and they have already anointed him as their savior and built monuments to him.
Saturday, November 5, 2011 is being billed as the new “Game of the Century”. What it really is, is a defining moment in the future of LSU and SEC football.
It is now time for every player, coach, alumni and fan that dons the Purple and Gold to take our place – to Occupy Bryant Denny Stadium and make it our own.
Such has been the patient sufferance of the Nation of Purple and Gold; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Standings of the Conference. The history of the University of Alabama is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Embarrassment to the SEC. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world:
They that comprise the fandom are primarily from two distinct yet equally offensive groups. The first is a neo-con faux-elite who refers to the school simply as “University”. Prior to 2007 they were hard to spot as their primary identification with the school on their vehicle was a barely visible, silver-gray “University of Alabama Alumni” license plate cover. Then, little “S – The Coach” stickers began populating the back windows of their SUVs in an obvious attempt at conspicuous consumption. After a win, their vehicles will also be adorned with all sorts of temporary car flags and magnets. The second group is the “dirt road” alumni, who drive around in their beat up pickup trucks and 1984 Chevy Celebrities. Prior to 2007, they were also noted for only being identified by tobacco-stained 1979 National Champion bumper stickers on their cars, but they too added the “S-The Coach” sticker to their back window in the midst of a circle where they cleared the dirt off.
They have subjected the world to the blathering idiot that is Eli Gold, whose nasally voice is an offense to the ears, whose manner of speech seems more suited to talking to children 3-5 years of age, and who seems at any moment will gleefully proclaim that he has “made a warm poopie in his pants”.
They are represented by the ilk of Scott Hunter, a washed-up drunkard of an ex-quarterback and failed sportscaster, who still regales in stories of the 1960s as if they are applicable today.
They have named their radio call in show “Hey Coach”, an apropos yet a sad reminder of the simple-mindedness of their fanbase.
They have propagated the scourge that is houndstooth print on everything.
They have given rise to fans like Chuck Floyd, who once hosted the “My Neck Is Crimson” show where he spouted such unintelligible drivel as “Rolltideroll” and “Getu Sum”
They have a vocabulary crippled to the point that they now gleefully display the profane “RMFT”
They play a song written by a notorious child molester after every win, and in a classless taunt chant “we just beat the hell out of you” - even after they ‘blow a team out’ in overtime or with a blocked field goal against a mediocre opponent on the games’ final play.
They have a fight song that sounds like it should include the words “na-na-na-boo-boo”
They have a chant in Rama Jama that makes Hotty Toddy sound dignified
They constantly feel the need to chide Tiger fans that they “stole our coach” when in fact, the man never would have left LSU for Alabama, and it seems somewhat apparent that he regretted leaving LSU and his choice to go to Alabama was motivated in his own feelings for LSU.
They are coached by the aforementioned Nick Saban, a miserable excuse for a human being who believes that he is bigger than the team, the school and the state, and who flaunts this by redressing reporters in his press conferences, and by publically belittling and humiliating his players.
They, much like maggots, first attempted to live off a dead Bear for almost 30 years, and now have ascribed the same cult-like following to Saban.
They irritate the ears by broadcasting what sounds like a constipated elephant over the loud speakers at Bryant Denny Stadium.
They have Saban’s lapdog, Paul Finebaum, and his legions of callers with “handles” to talk on the radio as if they are in a bad knockoff of Smokey & The Bandit
They have scores of allegedly grown men who wave pom poms.
They have forever ruined the song “Sweet Home, Alabama”.
They create hats with laundry detergent and toilet paper, two products they have otherwise yet to find a use for in the state of Alabama.
They boast about a “million dollar band” that, when adjusted for inflation wouldn’t be worth more than $100 K, and is obviously so tight on funds that they force some members of the dance team to share uniforms.
They have a name, that when said by Vern Lundquist as “Al-uh-bam-uh” makes him even more annoying.
They have given the world Harvey Updyke
They collectively engage in a form of penis envy that makes Texas A&M fans look normal; however, instead of being focused on an another institution as the Aggies are with Texas, they appear to be fixated upon themselves
An Institution whose character is thus marked by every act which may define an Embarrassment, is unfit to be the leader of the SEC.
On Saturday, November 5, 2011 the Purple and Gold Occupation will commence.

I'm not reading all that nonsense. LSU won't have enough tickets to do anything but occupy a section of the stadium.

Cajun, you're so right. What the hell do these people think we can do. They have one hell of a fan base and they think we can take over their stadium! How stupid can one be!

These are about the only 2 entries in your entire novel that make any sense. Hey Coach is just awful. It has.....without a doubt....THE most hideously embarrassingly redneck theme song I've ever heard anywhere. You literally couldn't come up with a more redneck theme song or a show if you tried.
Chuck Floyd is even worse. Absolutely embarrassing. I wish that goofball would listen to what he sounds like on the radio. Sadly, he probably wouldn't understand how ridiculous he sounds. Just awful.

Man, I love your post, it hits many nails (Gumps) on the head. They, Sabama fans feel so entitled it is sickening. You go into that stadium, hear Bear Byrant's voice for an hour and then hear Saban's quotes for 15 minutes. The sad part about it, Saban will never ever replace Bryant, he is just the hired help. Fine Bum I am sure would like to make love with Saban, what an ugly thought that is.
It is going to be so Sweeeeeeeeeeet when the stadium is empty except for LSU fans cheering our Tigers after their victory over Sabama. That is what taking over the stadium is all about .... Geaux Tigers!!!!

I guess you haven't been paying attention but a lot of those "occupy" people have ended up occupying jail cells.
