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.
