The inside joke refers to field turf, white helmets and bringing back another live elephant named Albatross.
I guess I just don't get it. I just found it odd for Alabama fans to make fun of our mascot when you literally rent yours. :lol:

And, the part you quoted is kind of an old inside joke.
No. I actually found it. It is no joke, complete with dates they rented an elephant from the circus.
Transition to Temporary Elephants in the 1950s
By the mid-1950s, keeping a live elephant year-round became too expensive for the university. The school stopped housing Alamite permanently.[1][3]
The UA Spirit Planning Committee then arranged for temporary elephants, usually hired from traveling circuses passing through Tuscaloosa.[3]
These elephants appeared mainly for homecoming parades, pep rallies, and other homecoming activities.[3]
One example includes an elephant in performing regalia on The Quad for a 1954 pre-game pep rally.[3]
Roll "Bama Roll
From Roll Bama Roll:
By the mid-1950s, Alamite gave way to a mascot-for-a-day that would be brought in for the homecoming parade and other activities. Reportedly, the cost of keeping the giant animal proved too expensive for the university.
The University of Alabama’s “Spirit Planning Committee,” a group that included representatives from numerous campus organizations, would spearhead the effort to bring a live elephant to campus as part of homecoming celebrations. These temporary mascots were usually from traveling circuses and would often appear in their performing regalia. Here is a photo of one of these elephants on The Quad for a pre-game pep rally in 1954.

Now I gotta google why red water = elephants. How bizarre.
It actually is when you consider how they remind everybody that Auburn is known at the Plainesmen, war Eagles and Tigers. Maybe it's just an Alabama thing? :lol:

This game literally could go either way. And honestly in the scheme of things won't matter much on the season. CFB has gotten very weird in the last few years.
Just a few years ago this game would have been a huge game that could potentially decide who plays for a National Championship. Now? Nothing. And when they expand the playoffs to 24 teams it will mean even less. Regular season means absolutely zilch.

I'm happy for you boomer
At least we were alive the last time your team won something. :lol:
I mean, was it supposed to be some kind of gotcha for you to post that?

Once we get our field turf and bring back white helmets, Bama is getting another live elephant named Albatross... or so I hear.
Just so I understand. You guys are criticizing UGA while your live elephant has literally been dead since the 1950's? :lol:
Alabama couldn't afford to house a live elephant so if you have a live elephant today it is a rented circus elephant? Ooooookkkkkk.

Uga would make a great pledge. He passes out early in a corner, covered in his own drool, and everyone takes photos with him like he’s a legend.
Show us Alabama's live mascot?
:lol: :lol:

Other than the national and SEC titles sure
Remind us what years that happened? Either of them?

Alabama has one championship the last nine seasons
If you want to forget about 2020 and put an asterisk by it> Ok. You can do that if you want.
But, it seems odd since they have one more recently than LSU. :lol:

Bama - old money......Georgia - new money
Nothing wrong with new money, old money, or any other kind of money. If I am rich, I don't care how ole the money is, only that I have it. :dunno:

Georgia fans hate Alabama.
I was unaware of this.

there is less shite talking only leading up to the game because both know either of them could win.
I agree with this 100%! :lol:
Heard nothing but good things about Bishop. My favorite Vol besides Reggie White.

Seeing Tenn and A&M uniforms has really scared me that Ole Miss has switched to Adidas
Do the schools not have a say in what their uniforms look like?

Well Bama has done what they needed to do and that’s get to Georgia 5-0 for a shite to make playoffs. If we came out of that with 2 losses our season would be effectively over.
Alabama looks like the better team at this point. Very explosive offensively and good on defense. Whoever wins will be in the catbird seat for a first round bye in the playoffs.
Crazy how the season is paying out, though. After the Clemson game I thought LSU was going to be unbeatable. After the LSU/Ole Miss game I thought Ole Miss would be the favorite, then I switched over to Florida when they beat Ole Miss and now...I give up. :lol:
re: I just hope ABC doesn’t try to make Bama-UGA game of the century 14 or 15.

Of course they will. Ratings and all. You gotta have at least one game of the century every year.

Didn't Texas beat Daddy Bama last year by double digits?
And doesn't Daddy Texas lead that series 8-2? I think Daddy Bama should probably stay quiet on this one. :lol:
In some ways I agree with you on UGA Vs. Vandy, but on the other hand, I also wonder if they will be a little distracted having Alabama next week. We'll see. I don't think it would be enough distraction for Georgia to be upset, but perhaps not cover?
