I suppose you were speaking about that particular chant, but BDS seems to be louder overall for the last year or so. I consider it a little amusing that people get so worked up when Saban critiques the fans a bit (although he's said far more positive than negative things), yet the end result is hard to argue with. Fans stay longer and cheer louder, and in turn Saban says it helps the team and praises the fans. It's good to see that most people get the point.It's gotten considerably louder this year. Soon you will be able to make it out without any trouble.
The stadium was literally rocking when they sang it during the LSU game (last year), right? I'd heard of it happening at other stadiums, but I'd never heard of it happening at BDS.It's impressive when the whole stadium is singing the song. Recruits have even commented on it. But yeah, I don't know what you do about it at this point. They won't stop.
They need to stop. there should be no room for profane speech in a song at Bryant Denny. Bill Battle can stop this.It's impressive when the whole stadium is singing the song. Recruits have even commented on it. But yeah, I don't know what you do about it at this point. They won't stop.
I have not heard it but I'm not good with it Bill Battle knows what Class is so I defer to his judgement not Scarb he just lives any shot he can take at Alabama.I also would like to see it stop, but on the other hand I take issue with Kevin Scar-barn-sky calling Alabama out on anything.
Yeah I was there 99-03 and the same. Must be a newer addition.When I was in school, the only additions were on beer, roll tide, and all night.
The bold is a recent addition that somehow started. It used to just be another "Roll Tide". So that's what I say when that line comes up. Rumor has it, Mrs. Saban didn't like the added chant (rumor) and so they stopped playing the song for a few games (fact). However that was a hugely unpopular move so they brought it back. But yeah the "blank this" and "blank that" started about 2-3 years ago.Here are the lyrics, as said in Bryant Denny by the student section.
Spend my dollar (on beer!)
Parked in a holler neath the mountain moonlight (Roll Tide!)
Hold her up tight (against the wall!)
Make a little lovin' (all night!)
A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night (four letter word Auburn!)
Fits my life (And LSU!)
Oh so right (And Tennessee too!)
My Dixie Land delight
Have we so utterly forgotten the difference between public and private language choices? Say what you want with your friends in private but how can anyone think it is OK to scream that word in public? It is astonishing and totally narcissistic to be so oblivious to the fact that it is a public venue with children, etc. I'm not personally opposed to any type swearing, but it's just immaturity and bad form to feel as if you have some sort of right to say whatever you want whenever you want.If you don't think that particular word is now in the mainstream of the American vernacular, you really are not paying attention. That is not a judgement for or against, simply a statement of fact. Yes, we can shield ourselves from it here and you probably will not hear it in church. But an expectation for 60 to 80 thousand people to be dissuaded from using it by us or even the great and powerful Scarbinski ... is probably not realistic. I suggest learning the acceptable, alternate words and singing them so loudly that you drown out the offensive choice, at least in your immediate area or at minimum, in your own space. Possibly that will catch on.
