FYI, he was a Snake :cool:

Hah...Oops...Sorry....I totally missed this post -->

And I think it will only get worse now that Alabama is recruiting heavily out West where people aren't that ga-ga over football. Didn't I read somewhere they are trying to get 40% out of stater's? It's all about that "out of state tuition" money now at all college campuses.

Yep, Bear sure was a Sigma Nu!
 

Same fraternity as Archie and Eli Manning (and Senator Trent Lott for that matter) at my alma matter!! Since I mentioned chapter websites much earlier, Bama Sigma Nu's could really do with one!!:cool: I wonder if they'd hang a prominent houndstooth somewhere on their frontpage!:cool: Then again, I wonder if they don't have one so they don't risk being accused of using an unfair advantage. . .NAH!!!! Sorry to get started this most recent tangent:o, figured everyone knew The Bear and Mama Bear (that allright?:D), and would like a little funny story about two of the most successful Alabama greeks!!:D I knew about The Bear in Mississippi LONG before I became a college football fan!!:D I was in seventh grade when he passed, and I remember one of my teachers (originally from the wiregrass BTW) saying you'd have to live in a cave not to know who he was!!:D

And the third rule is don't even THINK of disobeying the first two rules, right?!!

But of course! ;)

Phew!

cob at alabama
 

are any numbers out yet about chapter numbers? will any chapters be doing cob this fall?

I know you're anxious, but I'm sure your daughter is a big girl, and can find out on her own about COBs. She might know before any of us do since she's signed up.

harsh.

OT--
Saban may be recruiting out in the west, but Pete Carroll has the 5* players in his camp at this point.

I may have to change my identity after admitting this, but I know the guy who stole Bear Bryant's hat after the GA-ALA game of '76 (I think it was. It was about the only time Ga beat Ala so it should be pretty memorable.) :eek:

witness protection program!

I saw an ESPN segment about this a couple of years ago. Did he do an interview with the media recently or is his identity still unknown? Does he still have the hat?

Bare Bear
 

I'm sure he must have the hat but I don't think he gave an interview. My husband's fraternity brother was one of the trio who rounded the bases with Hank Aaron when he broke the record and I know he has been interviewed some. UGA evidently attracts some athletic miscreants which may come as a complete shock to many of you.;)
