(off Saban subject) Jimmy Buffett- Bama or Barner fan? anyone know?

[BamaFan1961]

I was watching 60 minutes about Jimmy Buffett. I know he was born in MS but was raised in Mobile, Al. I was wondering if anyone had knows if he is a Bama, Barner, or another college football team fan. He might not enjoy college football at all.

Attended Mississippi Southern, so I guess he's a Golden Eagle

Judging from his songs and persona, I would think LSU. Obviously likes to drink.

and, he's never mentioned humping sheep or eating boogers, so I doubt he's a barner.

Ah but he never sang "Gumbo in paradise" did he so I doubt he is a LSU fan.

I'd say a Barner. He sent his daughter to AU and she was a KD

 

[lafella]

He did Attend the Barn for a period of time. Doubt he's much of a fan for anyone though.

Sometimes kids just want to be rebellious. I wouldn't blame Jimmy for his daughter attending Auburn. He's a Tide fan. He told me when he played for homecoming at Bama in the early 90's.

I read his autobiography, "A Pirate Looks at 50." He went to Auburn for a while and flunked out.

How does one flunk out of Awbarn? Geeze. Apparently he didn't major in Sociology. Those degrees are given out with the purchase of a large combo meal.

He owns a plantation north of Tallahassee, spends a fair amount of time around here, and is doing a local charity concert for United Way next month. Might be something of a Nole. Just don't know.

Hey guys, I was at the Bama v. Vandy game here in Nashville. I think it would have been '80 or '81. I was a big Buffett fan back then, anyway I am sitting there thinking the guy behind me sounds real famaliar. I turned around and it was Buffett.
I talked to him just a minute. Big Bama fan.
Later I watched him go down on the field and someone on the sidelines gave him a jersey. Some lady in the stands tried to take it from him.
Anyway my 15 seconds of fame!:biggrin2:

Welcome Coach Saban and Roll Tide!

I don't think he sang these lyrics:

I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go when the Noles blow

 

[CrimsonTut]

He went to Auburn, but I used to hear stories about how he and Stabler were (drinkin') buddies.

This maybe closer to the truth with both of them having been to "Margarettaville" at the Pink Pony.

 

[GA Bamafan]

I think he is one of those rare individual that is football neutral. I don't give a hoot which way he leans I really enjoy three things in life outside my family:
1. Crimson Tide Football
2. Golf
3. Jimmy Buffett with a cold drink in my hand.

I am a Bama fan, a Hacker and a Parrot Head and If it wasn't for the other two I don't think I could stand off-seasons.

Roll Tide

I remember reading in the book in his box set (I think) that he is a Bama fan. I have heard several stories that he goes to several Alabama games, and has actually played at the SAE house there on campus.
