The statewide celebration of Alabama’s 4,567 national championship is on, and the BCS Coaches’ Trophy is making its way around the state for photo ops that will undoubtedly result in hilarity and other emotions down similar avenues.
Thus far, however, the best image to originate from these photo sessions doesn’t feature the magnificent crystal ball at all. It does, however, feature pizza. Glorious, wonderful, amazing pizza kinda.
Nick Saban and Bear Bryant now both have Alabama statues and BOTH have delicious pizzas made with their wonderful mugs on ‘em. The statues are fine, sure, but they aren’t pizzas that could also be classified as works of art.
After Monday’s blowout BCS Championship game, Alabama and LSU hit the hardwood on Wednesday night. Unfortunately for LSU, the result of this one was not all that different and ‘Bama cruised to a 69-53 victory on their home floor.
A regular season SEC basketball game – especially one with very little excitement – isn’t likely to draw up many headlines. This was a unique situation, however, and the Alabama fans were ready for this one. In fact they were the headlines. Their creativity (and wonderful, wonderful trolling) throughout the game was thought out and well executed.
At one point in the game, Alabama went up 21 points on LSU and the crowd erupted into a “Just Like Monday” chant. A “Jarrett Lee” chant – as well as others – could also be heard throughout.
LSU’s inability to move the ball on offense in the BCS Championship game could be summed up in one unbelievable stat. The Tigers offense crossed the 50-yard line once, and that moment came in the 4th quarter. The home Tuscaloosa crowd was certainly very aware of this on Wednesday night, and they mockingly applauded and cheered LSU in the first 30 seconds of their basketball game when they crossed that magical line.
Arizona cornerback Travell Dixon committed to Alabama on Wednesday night, and he did so and rather outstanding fashion. Dixon, who’s one of the top junior college recruits in the country, took to Twitter (@ONLY_1_TRILL) to spread the word that he was indeed headed to Tuscaloosa.
He didn’t simply post your run-of-the-mill commitment tweet. No, Dixon had fun with this and included teases, photos, a Q & A (really) and more. He is indeed well beyond his years when it comes to social media domination.
As for some of the highlights, here they are.
First, the setup.
After careful consideration on the behalf of my parents &family. I decided that in the best interest Academically and Athletically I chosen.
