Brokaw rips Bama

[TideWatcher]

Not really a big deal. But in the off season we need something to get us stirred.

Misleading title... all he said was ""I'm glad I'm speaking at Ole Miss. If I were speaking at Alabama I would have to use smaller words & shorter sentences." -@tombrokaw #WAOM"

He just tried to troll Alabama and failed miserably.

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

Not a rip so much as a slight. At a school that until recently had as many rebel flags prominently displayed on its campus as a Klan rally.

 

[AUDub]

Just pandering. Whatever.

 

[crimsonaudio]

Funny, because:
- Both Alabama and Auburn rank higher than Ole Miss, and
- Mississippi is the state that every other state is thankful for, as they can always point to it and say 'at least we aren't Mississippi...'

Silly pandering, agreed.

I wonder how many of those college grads even knew who he was? He left NBC nightly news somewhere around 2004, which was when most of them would've been about ten years old.

He won't have to worry. I'm fairly sure The Capstone can find much better speakers, than a has-been "journalist".

This is the problem with the internet. Speakers pander to the audience that they are getting paid to speak to. It's been happening since the beginning of time; but, due to the internet, people try to turn it into something more than it is not.

"What he says next will blow you away . . ." So tiring.

Just pandering. Whatever.

yeah, anyone who has been awake for the past 20 years knows that is an auburn joke

It does seem like it would have been funnier at the barn's graduation and if he had said Mississippi State.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Well, at Alabama the word "WIN" is used a lot which is a small word. Also "WE'RE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!" is a rather short sentence so maybe Brokaw has a point.

Oh yeah, and "these photos are jaw dropping!" Now I have visions of click bait zombies with their jaws hanging below their knees.

Brokaw matriculated at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, but dropped out after a year as he apparently failed to keep up in his studies, in his words majoring in "beer and co-eds". In tribute to his fun-loving freshman year, the Airliner Bar has named a booth in his honor. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of South Dakota in 1964.[SUP][12] South Dakota.....Really?[/SUP]

All is well Early AM I mistakenly took a half dose of Ambien and made less sense than usual. Maybe he took a couple Ambien tablets or maybe it is just typical liberal stereotyping.

 

[MemphisBamaDude]

Snoozefest.

 

[BamaMoon]

Don't fret over it. If he had said that at UA's graduation about Miss. we'd be talking about how funny it is. Move on...

 

[Elefantman]

Did he use big words in a big sentence such as:

Under the cloud of suspicion for providing inappropriate benefits to student athletes which are certainly major infractions as construed by the NCAA, the university of Mississippi now faces the prospect of harsh consequences from punitive sanctions.

Either that, or he was channeling Billy Boy Faulkner as his avatar - in which case, small words and short sentences make mighty welcome sights and sounds...

 

[Sagamore Bill]

Well..."Bless his heart"

 

[alabama mike1]

Didn't Brokaw graduate from South Dakota? Where do they rank in academic success?
