LOLOLOL!!!:D:eek:

Girl, forget ripping off the diamond. I am surprised that they didn't cut your finger off to take the diamond and make your husband file for divorce! :D
(my dad was born and raised in Alabama)

PS I had a similar reaction when I was around my inlaws and I asked who was Maurice 'Rocket' Richard. (DH grew up in Montreal and he is a die hard hockey fan)
They looked at me as if I had 3 heads

Jill: We should have switched in-laws. I grew up partly in Minnesota and would attend North Star games (when they were in MN) so I know hockey.
I love Montreal BTW. Beautiful city.

I had to look him up. I was expecting someone who cured cancer, not a football coach, but then again, I'm not from the south!

:eek: :eek: Granted, my daddy was a Yankee and my mother from the South, but it was my daddy who had a heart attack during a football game, and wouldn't go to the hospital until halftime!! He was okay in my granddaddy's book!

Bear Bryant = minor god in most of the country. Anything less is akin to blasthemy!

Our good friends are from Alabama and they went to Auburn. Their next door neighbors were from Alabama too but Bama grads. In their formal living room, a life-size oil painting of the Bear hung over the mantle. Presiding in the corner was a bronze bust of the man which was next to a 6 ft. stuffed elephant. I have no idea where she found them but "Sue"'s sofas were upholstered (sp?) in the same fabric as Bear's hat.

No worries, so did I!

The first rule of University of Alabama Recruitment 2007 thread is - you must know of Bear Bryant. The second rule of University of Alabama Recruitment 2007 thread is - you DO NOT talk about not knowing of Bear Bryant. :rolleyes:

I'm not from the south and even I know who Bear Bryant is....

Then again, I am a bit of a football geek.:D

What pains me more is when people from the South (any southeastern state even) don't know who the Bear was. Aaargh!
